A/N: hey guys, heres chapter 13! Hope you like it!
"I can't see my feet!" said Buffy, very grouchy.
"Buffy, don't yell so much. Spike is sleeping!" said
Dawn, apparently annoyed with her sister. Here she had
taken the time to paint Buffy's toenails and Buffy was
whining.
"Sleeping? What a dick head! I'm here and I can't see
my feet and I feel like a big elephant! I wouldn't
even be this fat if it wasn't for him!"
"Buffy, Spike is not a dick head and also it takes two
to tango. Remember?"
"You're always taking his side!"
"Ughhh!! Whatever, Buffy. Look, I have to go home and
clean my room before mom yells at me. Your toenails
are pink, 'k?"
"Fine...thank you Dawn."
"uhh-huh.Bye and don't give Spike a hard time."
"Bye!"
********************************************************************************
" Spike, I'm bored!" said Buffy as she played with his
hair on the bed.
"That's great, pet." came Spike's muffled reply
because his head was currently shoved in the pillow.
"I'm serious! I really am bored. You never take me out
anywhere! I'm always at home or in the garden or at my
mom's house. I mean don't you think-"but Buffy never
finished her sentence because Spike cut her off.
"Bloody hell, woman! What does it take for a bloke to
get some sleep!"
Buffy just pouted her lips and gave her best puppy dog
eyes.
Then softy, Spike said,"Luv, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know, but I just feel really fat and hungry
right now."
"How about we go for lunch?"
"Hmmm..... that's a great idea!"
"Where do you want to go?"
"OOO!!!! I know, I know! I want to go McDonalds!! Did
you know that you can get a free mcflurry or any
desert with a burger, fries, and a drink!?"
"Pet, I am not taking you to sodding McDonalds! That
place will kill you! Also, I thought you hated
McDonalds? Where did your classiness go?"
"Hmmphh! Fine be that way... Can we go to In-n-out?"
"Alright, I agree they do have good burgers there."
"Yay!"
"Luv, it was the weirdest thing, but did you call me a
dick head earlier or was it my dream?'
"Oh, me? nu-uhh! Nope, No siriee! It was Dawnie. Yeah
Dawn."
"Oh cause I was going to say why would you say such a
thing?"
Buffy just nervously laughed. ' Shit, Dawn is going to
kill me if she finds out!'
**********************************************************************************
"See these are what I call hamburgers, luv,"said Spike
taking a bite out of his burger. They were sitting
outside one of the tables eating their lunch.
Buffy just nodded and was about to take another bite
when she stopped abruptly. She had a strange look on
her face and then it turned into a painful look.
She suddenly dropped her burger and held her stomach
tightly.
"Oh god... it hurts so much..."said Buffy clutching
her stomach as if she were holding on to the top of a
cliff for dear life. Her knuckles were pure white.
"Buffy," said Spike, scared out of his mind, as he got
up and sat down next to her putting his arm around her
back and the other hand on her stomach.
"What is it?" Spike asked.
" It's the baby, I think."
"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Buffy just let out a cry. Spike took his cell phone
out and called the hospital telling them that they
would be on their way.
Spike picked her up with much effort and headed for
the car.
*********************************************************************
With much struggle, they made it to the hospital.
Soon, they got Buffy on a rolling bed and took her to
an emergency room.
Spike was terrified. He was about to go crazy. They
had made him wait outside. All thoughts were racing
through his mind. ' What if she wants me there with
her? What if something happens to the baby? What if
something happens to her...?'
Buffy's doctor came out and said, " Hello, Mr.
Windsington. I have good news and bad. It seems that
Buffy is going through labor. Now, the child would
only be three weeks early, which I am 99% positive
that the baby would indeed be healthy. What I fear for
is that Buffy may not make it. She is very small and
weak, as you know-"
"Buffy's a fighter. She's strong."
"Well, if you seem to think so. Anyways, she has
decided that she wants to do this the regular way. No
c-section. If you would like, you may come inside to
be with her."
"Thanks, Doc."
Spike went inside and went over to her bed. She was
wearing the hospital clothes. She looked so small in
the big white bed. She had her legs spread out with a
blanket over it. Spike took a hold of her hand as he
had seen in the tapes from their parenting and Buffy's
pregnancy class.
The doctor started off by doing the normal routines.
He told Buffy to take deep breaths and push.
Buffy screamed as pain ripped through her stomach. Her
grip became more and more tighter on Spike's hand as
the pressure became more.
Spike felt his hand was going to be damaged
permanently. But at the moment he did not care. He
just kept thinking about how much all this pain was
worth, as they would get a gift at the end.
"C'mon, luv. You can do it. Just think of the little
beautiful girl that will be here when this is over
with."
Buffy looked up at him, eyes wet with unshed tears.
She was sweating as if she just had run in the
Olympics.
Buffy cried out as she felt the baby slip out. The
baby's screams were piercing as she came out of her
old home for the past 8 months.
Buffy leaned back onto the pillow, breathing heavily.
"You did it love. You brought a miracle," Spike said.
He was about to go on when the doctor interrupted him.
"Congratulations, it's a baby girl! We are going to
get her cleaned up and then you can hold her. Uh, Mr.
Windsington? May I talk to you for a second?"
Spike walked over to the doctor." Yeah, Doc?"
" Spike I'm positive now that Buffy will live because
she didn't lose as much blood as she should have if
she were to die."
"Thank god."
The doctor smiled and said,"uh, are there any
relatives on the way?"
"Oh uh yeah. Her mother and father."
"Alright, well, it's only one at a time in there for
right now, so I suggest you spend as much time as you
can in there with her."
"Thanks Doc. Really thanks."
The Doctor smiled again and nodded his welcome.
Spike headed inside Buffy's room. She was lying there
on the bed, still sweating, but her heavy pants had
decreased.
"Hey, luv.How are you holding up?"
"Okay, if you call surviving through a big thing like
getting the insides of your stomach ripped. Yup, I'm
dandy. I just want to see the our little girl that
made me go through all this pain."
"I know, pet, but she needs to be cleaned. I bet
she'll be here any second."
As if on cue, a nurse rolled in a cart that had a
little bundle of blankets in it.
"That's just blankets. Where's my baby girl?" asked
Buffy as she looked confused at the nurse. The nurse
just smiled and said," Sweetheart, this is your baby
girl," She carried the baby over to Buffy and said,"
she is a tiny little thing, but very healthy. She
weighs 5 pounds and 1 ounce. She has 10 toes and 10
fingers, a head, legs, a body, arms, and all of her
insides. Congratulations. I'll give you two some time
alone."
Buffy just stared, amazed, that such a tiny beautiful
thing could be her little girl. Her head fit perfectly
in Buffy's palm as if she were the top to a jar. New
tears came to Buffy's eye.
" Hello, sweetie. What do you want be named?" asked
Buffy. The baby girl looked at her mother with big
green eyes, and Buffy could swear she saw her smile.
That little smile. She brushed her hand over the
baby's blond hair. It was straight, but at the tip,
near her forehead, there was one curl.
"Luv, she's beautiful," even though the baby was
young, he thought that she looked exactly like her
mother.
"I know. She is your baby girl
too............................. Do you want to hold
her?"
"What if I drop her?" asked Spike scared. He had never
held a baby so small.
"Don't worry. See if you hold her like this," said
Buffy as she placed the baby girl in his arms, " then
you won't drop her."
" I think I'm going to cry, luv."
Buffy laughed. "I think we should name her after your
real mother. Emma. Unless you don't want that."
"Luv, that means a lot to me. That you care. I love
the name Emma. I think we should name her that too."
"Alright, so it's Emma. Emma Amanda, after my dear
cousin that passed away, Windsington. I love it."
"Me too, pet. Me too." Spike saw the longing in her
eyes for her to hold Emma so he put Emma back in her
arms. He looked at her and Emma. He felt so different.
So loved. As if he was a part of a real family. He
wanted this forever. He knew it was the right time."
Joyce and Rupert and Dawn walking in with balloons
suddenly cut off "Buffy, I know-" but him. Buffy
looked at Spike with sympathy and shrugged. Then she
smiled as her sister went "ooo" and " awww" over the
baby girl in her arms.
Some things would never change.
A/N: Hey, so what do you think? Tell me please!
"I can't see my feet!" said Buffy, very grouchy.
"Buffy, don't yell so much. Spike is sleeping!" said
Dawn, apparently annoyed with her sister. Here she had
