Chapter 17
Feedback: Yup as you know I like feedback.
A few weeks after the baby shower Buffy was just over eight and a half months along. She and Angel had been helping her mother get the nursery done. Of course Joyce and Angel had done all of the painting because the fumes were bad for Buffy to be breathing in. Now Buffy was putting away all of the new baby clothes in Sierra's new
dresser. Joyce had left for Arizona four days ago to look over some od artifacts that she had considered buying for the gallery. She wouldn't be home for three more days. She hadn't wanted to go because she was afraid that Buffy would go into labor early and she would miss the birth of her first grandchild. So the doctor reassured them that it
was far more likely that Sierra would be born late rather than early since Buffy had already come this far in her pregnancy. He had said that with first chidren, especially with young mothers they either came early or late. They were never on time. So she'd finally given in and left for her trip. Angel was out patrolling so Buffy was home alone. After
she finished putting the clothes away she looked around the room and was very pleased with the tiny way it'd turned out. She and Angel yet to find a place to live. They'd begun their search a few weeks ago, but it was kind of difficult to find a nice, two bedroom, subterranean place to live. So they decided they would stay with Joyce after Sierra
was born, but just until they could find a place they really liked. Angel had been ok with it too. He and Joyce got along better now than they had when he was evil so he didn't mind living there for a little while longer. Buffy finished looking around the room and then headed downstairs for a snack. Since she began her last month of
pregnancy she'd had a lot more energy and needed less sleep which she enjoyed. She headed into the kitchen to find her snack. After settling on some cheese and crackers and a glass of milk she headed into the living room to watch T.V. whie she ate. Halfway through some old movie she thought that she heard something. She set
her plate down on the coffee table and got up to investigate the noise. She headed to the kitchen where she thought the noise had come from. It was dark in there, but when she went to turn on the light it shorted out. She turned her senses up a notch, but her slayer radar didn't pick up any demon activity. So she walked all of the way
into the kitchen, but there was no one there. When she turned around to leave though she noticed that the back door was wide open. She knew there was no way she or Angel had left that door open. She was worried now. She was too far along to fight anyone. She wasn't sure what to do. She made her way over to the door as quietly as
she could to see if anyone was out there. She couldn't find anyone though so she quietly shut the door and turned back around to go call Giles since she couldn't reach Angel. Before she had a chance to react two pairs of hands grabbed her as soon as she turned away from the back door and a third stuck her with a needle. Before she
knew it she was knocked out.
I know it's pretty short, but the next one will start up the drama again. Thankyou everyone that's read through the fluff to get to this part. I just felt it was necessary to go through a little bit of the life they had up until this point as opposed to skipping over a whole month and a half. Thanks again and let me know what you think.
