At the Magic Box everyone was sitting in different parts of the store. A
few hours had gone by, and although they had been researching, no one had
found anything on this apocalypse.
"Hasn't anyone found anything yet?" Dawn was getting very impatient and bored. 'I could be out with my friends but instead I am stuck here doing research' she thought.
"NO" everyone said in unison.
After a few more hours of research Willow finally found something. She had been looking on the internet the entire time while everyone else had been looking in all of Giles' books.
"Hey everyone I think I might have found something." All the Scoobies gathered around Willow and the computer.
"It says 'A once dark vampire turned good by love, given back his humanity, shall stop the First. A Once dead slayer will turn dark and will be his obstacle. If he overcomes it, the child formed by their love will be the tool.' That's all it says. It's got to be the right one." Willow was so confused. Not even her braininess understood this.
"The First? What the hell is the First?" Spike wanted to know most of all what his part in this was. "And what child? There is no child here, unless you count Dawn."
"One I am not a child. And two it can't be me I was already used in a prophecy, can't be used twice ya know!"
"She's right it's not her. There is going to be a baby. I never thought the First would come back!" Buffy was the only one who understood what the words meant.
"What are you talking about?" Giles hadn't said anything the entire time they had been contemplating what the hell was going on.
"Giles I think she has gone off the deep end." Xander was there with his sarcastic yet dumb logic.
"No! I haven't gone anywhere. Don't' you remember with Angel? The First tried to get him to kill himself. You guys it's the First Evil."
"Ok well so the First is back, but what does the rest of it mean? The once dead slayer will turn dark and be him obstacle? What does that mean? Are you going to become evil or something? That is so not happening. I sure as hell won't let it." Spike was becoming frantic. The thought of Buffy becoming evil was too much for him.
"No it's not me who is going to be evil. The First can take the form of any dead person. I was once dead, so there must be some sort of loop hole. It is going to try to take me form and trick you. I don't know how or anything, but it is."
"We won't let it trick any of us. Where is this child coming from?" Tara still didn't get the last part of the puzzle.
"Spike and I are going to have a baby."
"How do you know that?" Giles was completely oblivious to the easiest part to figure out.
"Hello Giles. It is not that hard! The prophecy mentions Spike, then me, well sort of, and if he overcomes the obstacle then the child formed by their love, blah blah blah, we are going to have a baby!"
"We're going to have a baby?" Spike was amazed. He never thought he would ever have a baby.
"Yes Spike, we are. I don't know when or anything but when we do, this baby is going to be amazing." Buffy ran over to Spike and kissed him passionately. Giles was so confused about everything he just had to say something.
"So you two are together now? I knew you loved him, but still I didn't know you two had umm... Become that serious." He was so freaked he started cleaning his glasses.
"Yes, we both love each other, and are together. We are going to have a baby Spike! Isn't this great? If only mom was here to see.." she didn't get a chance to finish her sentence. She moved out of Spike's embrace and stared into empty space.
"Buffy what is it?" Spike didn't see anything and was becoming worried.
"Mom? Is that you?"
"No one is there luv. Are you ok?"
"Spike don't you see mom standing there?" She didn't wait for him to answer she ran over to where her mother was standing.
"Hi Buffy. They can't see me. I was sent here to warn you. The First Evil has risen and will start gathering his troops. This is going to be a war. Do you remember the dream you had last night?"
"Yes. It was horrible."
"That is what will happen if anything happens to this baby. The First will try with all of its power to destroy your baby and you. Without it, the world will end. Protect it and yourself with all you have. I have to go now. I love you Buffy. Please be careful." Joyce disappeared and Buffy started crying. Spike ran over to her and took her into his arms.
"What's wrong baby? What happened?"
"Mom. She was here. She said only I could see her, and she told me the First is going to try to kill our baby. If anything happens, and our baby doesn't get born, you will die and the world will end. I can't let anything happen to it. I can't let anything happen to you." She fell to the ground crying. Spike went along with her and held her tight.
"We won't let anything happen to our baby. I am not going to let it. We will all be safe and be a happy family after we get rid of this bloody First Evil." She looked into his eyes and knew he wouldn't let anything happen to any of them. She kissed him and they both stood up.
"Willow I want you and Tara to find any spells to find out when this baby is coming, any way to speed up the pregnancy so the First won't have long to plan, and find absolutely any protection spells."
"Ok we'll get right on that. I think we should all go home. It's been a long day. Tara and I can work on it at home."
"Sounds great. I could use a long rest. You really saw mom?" Dawn wished she had gotten to see their mother, but she understood why she didn't.
"Yeah I saw her. You know she loves you. We won't let anything happen to you, to any of you." Buffy finally stopped crying and took Dawn's hand.
"I know. We are in for one hell of a fight though."
"That we are" All together, Buffy, Spike, and Dawn's were the first ones out of the store. Willow and Tara followed close behind. Soon everyone was on their way home. None of them knew what had been hidden in the shadows at the Magic Box.
"None of you know. I have power none of you can imagine. I will destroy you, and your child." The First said to itself. It had been there all along listening. It disappeared leaving behind a menacing laugh.
