The doctors were amazed with Buffy's recovery and the baby was doing
great too. Today was the day that Buffy got to go home.
The Summers house was very busy everyone was there helping Buffy get settle back in. Spike carried Buffy into the house. She was still tired and the doctors made her promise to rest in bed for a few days. The phone rang.
"I got it" Dawn said she ran into the kitchen to answer the phone. A few minutes later Dawn came back into the living room where everyone was sitting around the TV.
"Are sure you don't want anything" Spike asked Buffy.
"Are you hungry. I could make you something to eat" Willow said to Buffy.
"Do you need another pillow?" Xander asked Buffy.
"You guys I'm fine. I just want to sit here and watch TV" Buffy replied.
"That was Giles on the phone" Dawn said "His plane is coming in at 3pm. So someone has to go pick him up" Dawn added.
"I can" Xander suggested.
"Okay" Dawn replied as she plopped down onto the floor in front of the TV.
"What time is it now?" Xander asked.
"1pm" Willow replied after she checked her watch.
"Then I should leave to pick up Giles in half an hour. Right?" Xander questioned.
"Ya that sounds right" Willow replied.
Buffy was starting to fall asleep and Spike noticed it.
"Okay, time for you to go to bed" Spike said as he picked Buffy up off of the couch.
"No I don't want to go to sleep" Buffy replied as if she were a small child.
"You need to sleep so that you can get all better" Spike said.
"Fine, but someone has to wake me up when Giles gets here" Buffy replied.
"Don't worry we will" Spike replied. Spike carried Buffy up to their bed. He lay there with her until she was fast asleep. When he got back downstairs Xander and Anya had left to pick up Giles at the airport.
"Is Giles staying in a hotel or is he staying here?" Spike asked.
"I think he's staying here. He said that he has something very important to tell us all" Dawn replied.
"In other words I should go shopping for snacks cause it sounds like we're going to be having a scoobie meeting" Willow added "Who wants to come with me?"
"I'll come" Tara replied.
"Me too" Dawn added.
"I'm going to stay here with Buffy. She might wake up and I want someone to be home with her" Spike replied.
"Okay, we shouldn't be long" Willow said.
"Bye Spike" Dawn said as they left.
"See ya Nibblet" Spike called from the door. Spike when back upstairs to have a short nap with Buffy and before he knew it Dawn was yelling:
"Buffy, Spike, Giles is here. Wake up!" she yelled.
A few minutes later Spike was helping Buffy down the stairs and into the living room.
"Buffy, it's great to see you" Giles exclaimed, "How are you feeling now?"
"A lot better thanks" Buffy replied.
"Congratulations to both of you on the baby" Giles said to Buffy and Spike.
"Thank you" Buffy said as she gave him a hug.
"Thanks Rupert" Spike said shaking Giles hand.
"So what is it that you needed to tell us?" Willow asked.
"You might all want to sit down for this" Giles replied. Giles waited until everyone was sitting.
"There's going to be a prophecy" Giles started.
"Oh great prophecies are never good" Xander replied.
"Buffy and Spike's baby is no ordinary baby. When this baby is born it will become the balance between good and evil. The Order of Hima was created to make sure that a slayer and a vampire never had a child." Giles explained.
"Well they didn't do a very good job" Spike replied.
"That's true, but they're now sending an army of fighters to kill the slayer and her unborn child" Giles said.
"What kind of army?" Buffy asked.
"They're demons that look like men, but the have pearl faces" Giles replied.
"Oh my god!" Buffy cried out.
"What? What is it?" Spike asked his voice full of worry.
"I had a vision the other night. We were all in a room and had been captured by men with pearl faces except for Spike I couldn't see him anywhere, but then he came running in with a ring. When the light from the ring touched the pearl faced men they turned to dust. Spike took me and ran while the rest of you killed the other demons that were coming" Buffy sobbed.
"Yes, yes that would be correct. The ring of Heaher is the only thing that can kill the Order of Hima" Giles replied.
"Well where do we get this ring?" Spike asked.
"It's protected by the Goddess of Heaher. The Goddess will only give the ring to someone who will only do good with it. Where it is though I don't know" Giles replied.
"I could try a location spell" Willow suggested.
"Good idea" Buffy said, "What do you need for the spell?"
"I have everything that I need in my room" Willow replied.
"We should do the spell as soon as possible. The Order of Hima will be coming any day now," Giles said.
"Just give me a few minutes to get everything together and we can do it right now" Willow replied.
"Okay" Giles said.
A few minutes later.........
"I called on you, the powers that be" "Help me locate, the Goddess of Heaher" Willow chanted. There was a bright glow in the room.
"YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ME?" A golden figure in the corner said.
"Yes, we wish to have the Ring of Heaher" Willow replied.
"MEET WITH ME IN THE CENTER OF THE DESSERT AND I WILL DECIDE IF YOU ARE WORTHY OF THE RING, BUT ONLY ONE OF YOU CAN MAKE THIS JOURNEY" She said before diapering.
"I'll go" Spike said before anyone else was able to say anything.
