Previously In The Seed Of Good & Evil

Anya:  From what I've read about your baby Buffy there are going to be a lot of demons waiting for it. 

Tara:  NO! They're coming for her, they're coming.  The moon? Under the blue moon.

Buffy: And that's when it happened.  Dawn was standing over me attempting to do God knows what with the largest butcher knife we own.

Anya: Dawn came to Spike's bedside.  She had no intent to hurt Buffy only Spike.

Tara: (Dawn hugs Tara tight and mischievously smiles to herself.) Dawn, I can't breathe! Dawn?

Harmony: We've discombobulated your thing of a jig.

Spike: Come again?

Hiploid demon: Your chip, I deactivated it. You are now as dangerous as you ever have been. (Spike sits up.)

Spike: I can feed?

Hiploid demon: Feed, kill and destroy

The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 10

(Scene 1: Later that day. Derek and Dr. Woodrow are discussing Buffy's condition with each other. Buffy is lying in the hospital bed.)

Derek: So you think that's what we're dealing with?

Dr. Woodrow: Obviously yes.

Buffy: Hey, hello. (They turn to Buffy.) The subject of the secret chatter would really like to know what you're saying about her.

Derek: We were just discussing possibilities.

Dr. Woodrow: Yes your child makes a very interesting specimen.

Buffy: Specimen? Yeah I don't think so. (Buffy tries to get out of the bed.) I have to go home, we have to go home.

Derek: Neither of you are going anywhere. (Derek walks up to Buffy.) Your baby's heartbeat stopped.

Buffy: But it's back to normal, that's what you said.

Derek: We have to find out what happened before we can release you.

Dr. Woodrow: He's right. (Dr. Woodrow's beeper begins to beep.) I have an emergency, but I'll be back as soon as I can. Dr. Kyle, make sure Miss Summers gets plenty of rest, IN THE HOSPITAL. (Buffy looks down.)

Derek: Yes sir. (Dr. Woodrow leaves.)

Buffy: You all think there's something horribly wrong with my baby?

Derek: I wouldn't call it horrible. What happened today was miraculous. We've never seen anything like it.

Buffy: You're doctors, the thought that you've never seen someone revived is, no offense, but a little scary.

Derek: Your baby's heart stopped, but she still appeared a live.

Buffy: She died and then she came back.

Derek: No, your baby couldn't have died and came back that's impossible. (Buffy looks up a Derek.) But there is no denying that you're having a very special child.

Buffy: Tell me about it.

Derek: I need to go confer with some other specialist, a.k.a boring doctor stuff. Your friends are waiting outside. Would you like me to let them in for a few minutes?

Buffy: Yeah, thanks.

Derek: All right. (Derek goes outside the door motioning Willow, Anya and Xander inside. They all come inside and Derek leaves.)

Willow: Buffy. (Willow walks over to Buffy's bedside.) I was so worried about you. Dr. Kyle said something about the baby's heartbeat.

Buffy: Well more like the lack there of.

Willow: What?

Buffy: Her heart stopped, but she was still moving.

Xander: So I guess we can officially cross human off our list of possible species of the baby.

Anya: Then what is it?

Buffy: Don't know, but the doctors saw what happened and now they want to use her like a lab rat. He called her a specimen.

Willow: Who, who called Jade a specimen? I'm, I'm going to walk right up to him and give him the most malevolence glare he's ever seen.

Anya: Oh, yes that should do a great deal of good.

Buffy: Thanks Will, but I did the glare thing and I think he's immune to it. Get Dawn we have to get out of here.

Willow: Dawnie's with Spike at home.

Buffy: What? No. (Buffy sits up, she swings her legs out of bed.)

Willow: What's wrong?

Buffy: What if Dawn has one of those episodes and decides Spike would make a really nice pincushion? He's powerless against her, we have to get home, now.

(Scene 2: Spike is in the basement. He hears a loud thumping noise.)

Spike: What in bloody. . . (There's another loud sound. Dust falls from the basement ceiling.) Dawn? (He walks up the basement stairs.) Oh I get it. A little game of hide from Spike. Gotta warn you bit I've spent a hundred years playing this game. Dawn? (Spike walks into the living room and then into the kitchen.) Ok this is getting a little. . . (Spike freezes. He looks down at his stomach and finds a knife protruding from him.)

Dawn: Looking for me? (Dawn pulls the knife out and Spike falls to the ground. He turns to Dawn holding his wound. He looks up at Dawn.)

Spike: What in bloody hell are you trying to do, dust me?

Dawn: You're coming between him and the child, you must be eliminated. (Dawn goes to stab Spike again, but he grabs her arm. Dawn struggles to stake Spike.) Why don't you stop while you're still dead, you know you can hurt me.

(Spike hears his conversation with the demon in his head.)

Spike: I can feed?

Hiploid demon: Feed, kill and destroy. I want you to give in to all your desires. Kill Spike. Kill them all.

(Spike looks up a Dawn.)

Spike: That's where your wrong honey. (Spike flips Dawn on her back. Slamming her against the floor. He gets on top of her and morphs to his vampire veneer.) I can kill you here and now. (Dawn has a scared look on her face. Spike goes to bite Dawn.)

Dawn: Ahh, AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(Scene 3: Derek looks around and then walks into one of the doctor's office with Buffy's folder in hand. He closes the door.)

Dr. Webb: This better be important Kyle.

Derek: It's what we've been waiting for sir. We found her. The savior of all that is good.

Dr. Webb: Really. (Dr. Webb stands up and walks over to Derek.) All that is good you say?

Derek: Yes.

Dr. Webb: I don't like this Kyle. What about all the evil? Should we just let them perish?

Derek: What? (Dr. Webb cracks Derek's neck and Derek falls to the floor. Dr. Webb feels the back of his neck stringing apart. His eyes turn yellow like the hiploid demons.)

Hiploid demon: I really hate these human suits. (He peels off Dr. Webb's skin and picks the folder up from Derek's corpse.) My child, it's time to meet daddy.

(Scene 4: Xander is walking by a cart in the hospital and steals a doctor's uniform. He passes it to Willow and Willow gives it to Buffy.)

Buffy: This should work. (Buffy's in the bathroom changing her clothes. She comes out.) Is everything set?

Willow: Set and ready.

Buffy: Then follow my lead. (Buffy puts her face mask on then walks out of her room into the hospital hall wheeling an empty wheel chair. She bumps into Derek, whose body has been possessed by the hiploid demon. She stops. She's waiting for him to notice who she is.)

Derek: You. Watch where you're going. (Derek bumps into her and walks away. She takes a deep sigh of relief and continues walking out of the hospital.)

(Scene 5: Spike is going to bite Dawn.)

Dawn: Ahhh. Ahhhhhh! (Dawn looks up at Spike.) Spike? What are you doing?

Spike: Bit? (Spike looks down at Dawn.) OW! (Spike grabs his gash and rolls to the ground. His face morphs back.)

Dawn: Spike. (Dawn kneels beside him.) You're hurt. (Dawn looks at her hand and drops the knife.) I stabbed you. (Dawn looks at the blood on her hands. Her eyes began to water.)

Spike: Help me, please. (Dawn looks down at Spike.) Please. (Buffy, Xander, Anya and Willow walk in the front door.)

Buffy: Dawn? Dawn? (Buffy walks into the kitchen. Willow, Xander and Anya are standing behind her. Dawn looks up at Buffy.)

Dawn: I didn't mean to Buffy, I. (Dawn lifts her hand towards Buffy.) You believe me, right? (Buffy looks down at Spike in shock.) Right?
