Angel. Faith and Dawn just arrived home. They put their stuff down inside and closed the door. Dawn walked up to her room that she had there and turned on her TV. Faith and Angel stayed downstairs and sat on the couch together and just then the phone rang. Angel leaned over the side of the couch and picked up the cordless that was on the side table.
Angel: Hello?
The person talked on the other end.
Angel: She what?! Ok, thank you doctor, ok, bye.
He hung up the phone in a hurry standing up.
Faith: What is it?
Angel: Come on, its Buffy. Shes at the hospital. We have to go now.
Faith stood up in a hurry after what he had said and called for Dawn. Dawn came running down the stairs.
Dawn: What?
Faith: We have to go, its Buffy...
~~~
The sped down the high way as fast as they could to the nearby hospital. Faith called Willow, Xander, Cordelia and Wesley on her cell phone in the car. Though for some reason everyone was in a gloom mood. She wondered why? They arrived to the hospital and went inside in a hurry. The doctor came up to them.
Doctor: You must be her sister Faith right?
He said looking at his clipboard and going through some papers.
Faith: Yeah, thats me, and our other sister Dawn.
Doctor: Hi Dawn.
Faith: Whats wrong with Buffy?
She said becoming worried.
Doctor: Ok, this isnt great news but Buffy is not responding. She is going into labor but the little mix up a couple months ago with the operation is not making this easier. We have very low chances that either of the pair are going to make it. Im sorry.
Faith took in the words slowly as did Dawn. She couldnt believe what she was hearing. Suddenly tears sprung to her eyes. Buffy wouldnt make it she thought or maybe the baby or both, and Spike isnt here and she now thought Buffy had it bad. She always thought her and Buffy were equal, the same, but now wasnt to sure about that. She would give anything for her sister and didnt know what to do. She hugged Angel and he held her as she cried and the doctor walked away. Dawn also began to sob and Angel picked her up in his arms and hugged her along with Faith. She didnt know what to do. They walked over to the lobby seats and sat down.
Angel: Im sorry.
Faith: That doesnt make things better. Not for me... or her.
She cried.
Angel: You're right and she *should* be happy.
Just then it clicked. He knew just what to do.
Angel: Faith... baby... I have to go, Ill be back later, or probably tomorrow, Im sorry but I have to go.
Faith: Why? Where are you going?
Angel: Dont worry, I *will* be back.
He leaned down and kissed his fiance deeply. He walked out the hospital on a mission and he knew just what to do, he was going to England...
~~~
About 30 minutes past and Dawn had fallen asleep crying and Faiths tears had dried up and calmed down. She just starred into space thinking about Buffy, her friends, her life and thought she could make it through this, she's strong and brave, and she can do it. She repeated this over and over again and snapped back into the world when she found Wesley, Willow, some guy, Xander and Cordelia standing there. Willow and Cordelias faces glistened with few tears.
Wesley: Hi Faith, how are you doing? The doctor told us.
Faith: Better. Who are you?
She asked Oz standing by Willow.
Xander: Yeah, thats what Id like to know!
He said getting angry.
Willow: Ok, lemme clear one thing up ok! Me and you Xander are *officially* over ok!
She said yelling back at him, Faith, shocked. She apologized Faith for her little outburst.
Willow: This is Oz.
Oz: Hi, I think I know you.
He said to Faith.
Faith: I dont think so...
She said confused.
Oz: Yeah I do... youre...
Then it clicked, Faith *did* know him!
Faith: Daniel?! Daniel Osbourne?!
She stated in shock.
Oz: Ad youre Faith Summers?! Buffys sister?!
Faith: Yeah!
She stood up with much difficult and hugged him.
Willow: You know each other?
Faith: Yeah, when me and B use to go to summer camp one summer in L.A. he was there, we were friends until he stop calling and writing!
She stated, him giving her a sorry look.
Willow: Oh.
They all sat down.
Wesley: Wheres Angel?
Faith: I dunno, he said hell be back late today or tomorrow.
Wesley: Oh.
Faith could feel all the discomfort and anger between her friends.
Faith: Whats wrong with you guys?
No one answered.
Faith: Oooook.
Many hours later, around 5 am:
That whole night, not one person spoke to one another, everyone seemed distracted and depressed. Faith had fallen asleep and so had Dawn, Willow, Cordelia and Wesley in the waiting room. Willow just sat, thinking about things when Oz came back from where ever he was with 2 cups of hot chocolate. He sat next to her, handing one cup to her. She gave him a weak smile.
Willow: Thanks.
Oz: What are you thinking about?
Willow: Mmmm, nothing, about Buffy... and Xander. How could he do that to me? I thought he loved me?
She said her voice shaking.
Oz: Sometimes when someone is so in love they do something that pushes them over the edge.
Willow: I guess youre right but it doesnt compare to what me and Wes did, that was only a kiss, they *did it*. It's totally different.
Oz: Yeah... it is, thats something he has to work on.
Willow: Whats that?
Oz: How to learn self control, that thing you and Wes did could have been solved but he didnt help the situation by sleeping with Cordelia. So... I dunno Willow, what Im sayin is maybe its both of your fault. His more than yours.
She smiled and she leaned into kiss him, only centimeters away, he pushed her away. Willow was hurt.
Oz: No.
Willow: No what? You dont want to kiss me?
Oz: Not now, maybe... maybe when youre over that Xander guy but now I just think youre doing it to get back at him but...
Willow: Im not.
Oz: I know but when we kiss, I want both of us to be *in* the kiss, you're just doing this to make him jealous and I know it, dont worry, I can wait, for now, let's just calm it down a bit ok?
Willow: Ok, thanks Oz.
Oz: No problem.
She sipped on her cup of hot chocolate, drifting into sleep by the minute.
~~~
Angel got the late plane and was finally there. England, he knew just where to go. He called a cab, hopped in and was off. Within 30 minutes he was off and finally got the place. A small bar in London where he and Spike use to chill at when they lived there. He hadnt slept a minute and was terribly sleepy. He walked in and saw him. He had his head down on and a drink in the other hand. Angel walked up to the man and tapped him on the back.
Angel: Hey...
Man: Bugger off, Im not in the mood right...
He lifted his head up to find he was face to face with Angel, he was shocked.
Angel: Hey Spike...
Spike: What do you want?
He said in a harsh tone...
Angel: Its Buffy.
Spike: What, is she still whining and crying, listen, I cant go back right now ok. Give me sometime...
Angel: Spike listen to me, she might be hurt, he and the baby, shes not responding and both might not make it through this, she is suppose to go into labor but...
He turned away when he saw Spike's eyes glisten with tears.
Angel: Come on man, why can't you just...
Spike: It wasnt my baby?
Angel: What are you talking about? Of course the bay is yours, yours and Buffys...
He said confused but Spike shook his head.
Spike: I mean Emily, Emily isnt my baby, I took a test and it was negative.
Angel: Isn't that good?
Spike: I guess, but that test... it made me see, made me see that all I want is Buffy by my side and holding that baby. I want to marry her and watch the baby grow.
Angel: Then why did you leave?
Spike wiped his tears off on his sleeve and stood up walking out the door, Angel following.
Spike: Because.... I... I cant take it, all the pressure, all the times I hurt Buffy, I cant live with my self knowing what I did and how I might have hurt her. I think she would do better without me, she can get married, have a big family and maybe fall in love, with someone besides me, its gonna take time but... I dunno... I see her in the future and I dont see me by her side.
He said with fresh tears falling down his cheeks.
*Flashback*
Buffy: I cant live with out him Angel, hes the one, nothing I do or say is *ever* going to change that. I know it and I dont think he feels the same way.
Angel: Buffy, I think youre wrong. He's head over heels in love with you but hes... hes just afraid...
*End of Flashback*
Angel: Do you love her?
Spike: Of course I do, Im head over heels in love with this girl.
Angel: Then take a chance! Make everything right again and start slow, itll happen and trust me, it *will* get better.
Spike: I dunno mate, its so... risky you know, what if we don't end up together and she ends up hating me and then I'll never see the baby again or...
Angel: Thats just a chance you have to take when you're in love. Take that chance.
Spike thought about it for a while taking out a cigarette and smoking it. He took a puff and held the cigarette between his fingers and...
Spike: Come on mate, back to Sunnydale we go, Im taking that chance.
Angel: Good. Now come on, there is only one flight left to Sunnydale and we wouldnt want to miss that now would we?
Spike: No, I dont think so.
He threw his cigarette on the floor, stomping on it and walking off toward a cab, he was going back to Sunnydale and nothing was going to stop him.
