As Buffy stopped in the front door to grab the mail off the floor, she thought about what she had heard earlier that night, what had escaped the lips of Giles Not disappointed, just a caring father, your real father "Something wrong, luv" asked Spike, he was worried, she'd been standing there more than 15 minutes "Huh, umm, no, not a thing, just spaced a minute" she said, apparently snapping out of it "Make that fifteen luv, now c'mon, tell me what's wrong" he whispered in her ear as he playfully pushed her to the kitchen "I'll make something for snack, what would you like, those little pizza things so, you like those, maybe some cookies, umm. tea" he was terribly worried by the fact that she was going to end up spacing when it mattered, like patrol " Huh, yeah cookies and tea please, it's just while I was leaving I heard Giles say the funniest thing" she answered confusedly "What would that be Mrs. Williams" an element of curiosity escaped his usual indifferent approach "Well, Mr. Williams, he said, this is kind of unbelievable, well, he said he was my real father, weird huh?" Buffy answered his pleading eyes, the ones she rarely turned down. "Well, could he be right, have you ever seen your birth record, anything of that sort" he was now even more curious "No, maybe I should, just in case, maybe" with that she went up stairs, she came down with a small plastic box containing important documents, marriage certificate, tax documents, mothers death certificate, copies of the adoption certificate, at the bottom was her birth certificate, both of them "An original and a revised, hmm, dadadaumuh, the original says my fathers name is. Rupert Giles" Buffy sank to the floor in shock, eyes wide, her jaws locked tightly together, Spike had to carry her to bed, when there she started having convulsions, Spike grabbed the phone off the bedside table he punched in 9-1-1 "Hello- my wife, she's having. I think it's a seizure" he murmured in a shaky voice, the level elevating after a time "Sir, please remain calm, what's the address" said the operator calmly "Umm, 5315 South RavenStone Road, send someone, quick, her heartbeat, it's wrong" by now he was on the bed rocking, his hand on her back, creating a steady circular motion. Five minutes later paramedics rushed into the house, "Up here" he screamed From the hospital phone Spike called Giles and the rest of the Scoobies. After about half hour Giles, Dawn, Willow, Tara, Anya, Xander, and Tempest were in the waiting room waitning for the news either Spike or the doctor would soon bring, the moment came when Spike came out, tears streaming his face. Willow stood up and somberly walked toward Spike, she embraced him firmly, he returned the gratitude, after this the rest, all except Tempest, did the same "What's the news" Tara was the first to muster up the courage to ask "She had a seizure, apparently from shock, she's ok now. but, umm." he started crying once more "she lost the baby" By that remark everyone felt remorse, pain, and gloom cloud over Spike in one foul, unfair swoop, he'd lost his child, his wife was ok, though that was important he still didn't stop the crying, not for hours.
