Dawn had fallen asleep, curled into a ball in a chair in the corner, Spike's duster thrown over her like a blanket.
Spike had stayed up all night talking to Buffy and assuring her that everything was going to be okay. That is until he too fell asleep in his chair.
Although he seemed to be secure and happy on the outside, Spike was a wreck. After the initial shock of the news, Spike had been thrilled. But the more he thought about it, the less sure he became. Every time he tried to think happy, something more horrific came to his attention.
'How did this happen? What happens next? What about.oh God, what if it's half vampire? Can it be half vampire? How is this physically possible?'
But he brushed them all aside and kept a bright face. 'Have to keep strong. Gotta stay for Buffy. Have to be there for her.'
Buffy herself was asleep; her hand still nestled in Spike's. Her nerves had been on end all night, but telling Giles made her feel a little better. It was finally out in the open. It was the next morning before Buffy got her sonogram.
"Good morning everyone." The doctor sang as he came into Buffy's room with the machine. "How are we this morning?" He came over to Buffy and took her wrist, checking her pulse.
"Feeling better." Buffy said in a chipper voice. "Can I go home now?"
"Well that's what we're here to determine." The doc said as he hooked up the machine and searched for the gel.
"Patience luv." Spike said. "Uh, Niblet?"
Dawn was still asleep in the corner. She didn't even twitch when Spike called her.
"Bit?" he called again; still no response. Rolling his eyes, Spike got up from his chair and walked to Dawn's. "Platelet?" he called and shook her shoulders gently.
Dawn's eyes popped open immediately. "Spike? What do you want?"
"Wow," Spike said in fake shock. "Such attitude, even when she wakes up. Just thought you'd want to be awake for this." He pointed behind him at the doc talking to Buffy.
"Oh, right." Dawn said blushing. "I didn't sleep very well. That's why I'm cranky." She lied. Spike helped her off the chair and over to her sis's bed.
The doctor had already explained things to Buffy and was just ready to begin. The machine hummed; the doc rubbed a clear gel over Buffy's abdomen. Buffy shivered slightly.
"Cold?" Dawn asked standing beside the bed.
"Yea," Buffy said. "Morning."
"Morning." Dawn answered.
"Ready?" the doctor asked.
Buffy looked from Spike to Dawn and back again. "We're ready." She said. Spike's handed snaked into Buffy's and he squeezed it gently.
The doc pressed the wand to her stomach and the machine's screen came to life.
Buffy wasn't sure what she was looking at. To her, the screen just looked like one of those old black and white TVs with bad interception. 'Just like the one in Spike's crypt.' She thought.
Spike stared at the machine with a blank expression on his face. "Uh, doc?" Spike questioned. "What exactly are we looking at? 'Cause honestly, I'm not seeing a bloody thing."
"Me either." Dawn admitted. "It kinda just looks like a big blob."
"Yea," Buffy agreed. "But I'm sure the doctor knows what he's looking for. What are you looking for?"
"Well," the doc began to explain, "you can't really see much. You're only about 2 months along. But you see this spot right here?" he pointed to a darker portion of the screen. "This is the heart. And.oh."
"Oh?" Buffy asked, suddenly scared. "What oh?"
"Good oh or bad oh?" Spike asked.
"It's just that..." The doctor said, studying the screen carefully. "This is something I hadn't anticipated."
"What?" Buffy asked again, her attitude had severely changed from excited to scared and worried.
"There's two." he said.
"What?" Spike asked.
"Miss Summers," the doctor said, turning to Buffy and company, "you're going to have twins."
** Author's Notes: Okay, again with the "I don't know anything about medical stuff". I'm not sure if you'd be able to see more at 2 months, but oh well. **
