Xander and Angel helped Buffy into Oz's van (it was the only one that
could fit all of them) They then all herded in themselves. Giles drove while
Cordy gave him directions to the nearest hospital. Willow, Angel, Doyle, Oz,
and Xander all sat in the back with Buffy. Willow and Angel holding her
hands helping her breathe.
    "Don't worry Buffy we are almost there," Willow comforted the almost
crying Slayer. Buffy looked up and Willow with teary eyes, "Does it hurt
that bad??" Willow then asked.
    "It doesn't hurt really bad but I am so scared Willow," Buffy squeezed
Willow's hand in a silent plea for help.
    "It's okay Buffy...women have been giving birth since the dawn of
time," Xander encouraged
    "Are still nervous about it being some kind of demon child?" Oz asked
    "Not really," Buffy said looking over at Angel
    "Alright we're here," Cordy turned around and informed the group.
    "Finally I think that I am going to explode!!!" Buffy joked. Xander
and Angel hopped out and helped Buffy down while Willow ran and got and
orderly with a wheelchair. The orderly helped Buffy into the chair and then
wheeled her into the hospital with the group right on their heels.

   "Alright Ms. Summers the doctor will be with you shortly," the nurse
told her.
   "Thank you," Buffy answered. The group was scattered out in the
hospital room. Cordy was sitting on Doyle's lap. Willow and Oz were on the
floor next to the bed. Giles was standing or leaning against the wall next
to Xander and Angel was hovered over Buffy.
   "Are you ready to be a mommy?" Willow asked smiling
   "Yeah I am," Buffy smiled back
   "Can she call me Uncle Xander?" Xander asked
   "How do you know he will be a she?" Oz asked
   "Hmm I think that I feel a bet coming on," Xander said pushing himself
off the wall.
   "I bet that it's a girl," Oz said sticking out his hand
   "How much?" Xander asked
   "50 bucks," Oz laughed
   "Deal," Xander stuck his hand out and they shook.
   "All right Ms. Summers I am Doctor Hart, how are you doing tonight?" a
man entered the room
   "Fine and you?" Buffy asked
   "Good alright I am just going to take a look at she how much you are
dilated," he said as he sat in a chair in front of Buffy.
   "Is everything ok?" Angel asked
   "Ok well Buffy everything seems to be okay but we are going to go ahead
and you walk," he informed her
   "Umm ok....why?" Buffy asked
   "Just so gravity helps bring the baby down more," he told her, "So pick
someone and just walk around the hospital,"
   "Okay, who wants to walk with me?" Buffy asked
   "Ohh ME!!!" Willow and Xander said at the same time. Angel turned
towards them and gold flashed in his eyes, "Well no we will just stay here."
Willow sat back down next to Oz.
   "Angel looks like you are the lucky person," Buffy teased. Angel helped
her out of the bed and they made their way out into the hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
   "So...." Angel said as him and Buffy walked down the hall hand-n-hand.
   "Angel I know," Buffy said looking up at him.
   "You know what?" Angel asked a little worried
   "Eve-Ohhhhhhh.........." Buffy fell to the floor.
   "Buffy??? Buffy?? Help some one," Angel yelled. Two men came running to
where Angel and Buffy were.
   "What happened??" they asked
   "She just fell," Angel told them
   "We need a stretcher here," he yelled. Pretty soon two other men and a
woman came to where they were with a stretcher and picked Buffy up and put
her in it.
   "Looks like she fell pretty hard," the woman informed the group of
doctors and nurses.
   "We need to get her into the emergency room....a sea section might be
needed if the baby got hurt in the fall," the other explained. Angel reached
out and grabbed Buffy's limp hand. They began to take Buffy down the hall
and her hand slowly slipped out of his. After they had turned the corner he
looked down at his hand and saw that Buffy's blood was on it.
