Buffy rocked slowly back and forth on the porch swing waiting for Spike and Willow to be home. She sighed happily as she felt another kick in the stomach. "Calm down." She whispered soothingly. "Your time will come any day now."

"Buffy?" dawn called from inside. "Come on… It's time for dinner." Buffy stood shakily and walked towards the door. Dawn had grown up so much over the past 3 months. She helped out with chores and cooked dinner. She was a blessing for Spike who could not be there all the time.

Buffy stopped and held her stomach as a sharp jab of pain shot through her. Buffy took a few breaths and stood tall again. But another wave of pain came again. "Dawn." She called out. Dawn ran to the doorway. "Buffy? What's wrong?" Buffy gulped as dawn took her by the arm. "I think I'm in labor." She choked out.

Dawn shook her head. "No. It shouldn't be happening for at least three weeks." Buffy looked at her sister. "I know that. But obviously he doesn't!" dawn let go of Buffy's arm and ran to the door. "Tara!!" she shouted. Tara ran to the door and gasped as she saw buffy sinking to her knees.

Tara took buffy by the arm and led her to the car. "Okay come on." Dawn moved towards the car but Tara closed the door before she could step in. Tara opened the driver's door. "Dawn stay here and when Will and spike get back tell them to meet us at the hospital." Dawn nodded as Tara sat down in the seat and slammed the door closed.

Dawn watched from the porch as Tara drove off into the night.

Spike staked the last vampire and held his hand out to willow that was lying on her back from a hard blow to the stomach. She took spike's hand and he pulled her gently up. "Okay that was the last vamp for tonight. We both kind of need to get home." Willow nodded in agreement and they headed off.

The next few blocks were passed by quickly thanks to Willow's non stop chatter. Spike chuckled as they slowly headed up towards the driveway. "Listen will. We can stop talking now. I don't want the whole evil society to know I'm in cahoots with the Scooby gang."

Willow smirked and turned back to the street. "HEY!!" she shouted. "SPIKE THE BIG BAD IS SLEEPING WITH THE SLAYER!!" willow turned and walked back to spike. "There. Now you can tell them everything and they wont care." She smiled evilly and walked past him to the steps where she was almost knocked over by Dawn rushing out the door.

"Willow! You're here!" Dawn turned to spike that was standing there a little confused. "Spike. Buffy's having the baby. Tara took her to the hospital…" spike looked at her. "She's having the baby?" he whispered. Dawn nodded. "We need to get there fast." Spike looked at his motorcycle and shook his head. "Only two of us can fit on that."

Dawn looked to Willow. "Please do a spell or something just get us there?" she pleaded. Willow nodded nervously. "Okay here goes. Traveilia et slayer." She chanted and the next thing they knew they were standing outside of the hospital.

They ran inside to the nurse's desk and Dawn was the first to ask. "Where is Buffy Summers?" the nurse pulled a sheet off a clipboard and looked at the three of them. "And just who may I ask are you three?" she said with a high and mighty tone. Dawn pointed to spike. "This is the father. This is her best friend in the whole world and I am her sister. Can we see her?" the nurse pointed to spike. "He can. But you two are going to have to wait with the girl who brought Miss summers in." Dawn and Willow turned to see Tara sitting there across the room and waved happily. The nurse stood and opened the door that led to the patient rooms. "Mr. Summers. This way please." Spike nodded to Willow and dawn and followed the nurse through the door.

Willow sat down next to Tara while Dawn paced back and forth. "Dawnie sit down." Tara chuckled. Dawn turned quickly ringing her hands. "What if the baby is all strange? What if Buffy is in pain? What if buffy has the baby and it's dead?" Tara pulled Dawn down beside her and patted her on the back.

"Listen Dawnie. She already was in labor when we got here. I am pretty sure she already had the baby and if it had been some kind of monster then we would've heard about it now wouldn't we?" Dawn nodded nervously and then leaned onto Tara's shoulder. "I'm still going to be worried though." Tara looked over at Willow who was sitting on the edge of her seat. Tara brushed Dawn's hair off her cheek and whispered soothingly. "I think all three of us are."

The nurse led Spike down the halls towards Buffy's room. "The nurse turned to the right and laughed. "She's in room 666." Spike gulped. "Hopefully Buffy didn't have the bloody anti Christ." Spike thought to himself.

They stopped in front of the room and the nurse opened the door slowly. "Mr. Summers. Meet your beautiful baby daughter." The nurse cooed as Spike sat down beside Buffy. Buffy's hair was matted across her face and drenched with sweat. Spike took Buffy's hand gently and looked at the baby's dazzling blue eyes. "You did it buffy. Lord she's so beautiful." Buffy nodded happily as if she was at last content with her life. Spike softly brushed Buffy's blonde curls behind her ear. She smiled and hugged him as she held the baby close. "Spike. I love her so much." Spike kissed her on the cheek. "Same here pet."



The door opened and Spike looked to see the waiting room nurse standing there once again. "Pardon me but I have three very insistent people who wish to see the happy mother." Buffy smiled. "They can come on in." the nurse moved as Dawn, Tara, and Willow rushed in and sat down beside buffy. Willow looked down at the little baby. "Aw Buffy. She's so beautiful. She has your eyes Spike." Spike nodded happily as Dawn watched the little baby wiggle in her mother's arms.

Dawn was in awe. Something this little could make it out and cry and crawl and grow up to be another normal person to make more little responsible people. Dawn had never realized how amazing a little baby could be.

Tara smiled as she watched Buffy and Spike with the baby. Spike could really be caring and gentle. Tara had never really understood why Buffy loved Spike but only knew that she did and that was that. But now she understood. Spike looked at the baby as if it were all the treasure in the world and nothing would take it away.

Buffy gently handed Spike the baby and he held it in his arms almost afraid to move from hurting this small little miracle. Spike smiled as the baby held his finger. Her hand was not even big enough to cover one finger.

Spike was amazed. How would this little creature make it out there in the cruel world? Even if he and Buffy followed her around the rest of her life she would still have a great chance of being killed. His heart sank at this thought.

Buffy looked at the vampire who she loved so much as he held the baby. "Not all vampires will be this gentle." Her mind whispered softly. She knew that Spike was probably thinking the same thing.

They were different even in the magical world's standards. Spike was a vampire who had no soul but cared for people and felt guilt over bad things he had done. Spike had a child when no vampire should have been able to.

But Buffy was truly different. She was in love with a vampire. She was a Slayer with no Watcher. She had died twice. She had beaten practically every prophecy the Powers that be threw at her. She had a vampire's child and she drew trouble to herself and her friends like a magnet. Her baby would be in danger as long as it was around her and spike.

Spike looked up to Buffy with a look of worry in his eyes. Buffy patted his hand and looked down at the baby. Both of them knew how much danger would come to this little girl and both of them had come to the same conclusion.
