Spike and Angel finally arrived in at the hospital and the rush inside, it was around 1 o'clock pm. No one seemed to notice their entrance and Spike walks past all of them in a rush running down the hall. He goes into Buffy's room. She is lying on the bed, her stomach flat apparently already having delivered the baby. A doctor came in as Spike sat next to the bed.
Doctor: Hello? Visiting hours are over young man...
Spike: Well I'm the father, of the baby, is the baby ok? Is Buffy ok? How are they? Are they gonna be alright?
He asked all in one flow, sounding like one huge sentence, he was nervous.
Doctor: Well sir, I have some good and bad news, I haven't told her other visitors yet but... I'm sorry sir; Miss Summers here seemed to fall into a coma during birth...
Spike began to panic, feeling tears begin to well up.
Doctor: Now don't worry, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, but Buffy isn't doing as great as we would have hoped, I'm sorry but it's a very low chance in which Buffy may live. Would you like a few moments alone with her?
Spike nodded as a tear fell from his eyes, the woman doctor left the room with that. She sat down next to her, taking the girls hand. More tears fell, and his voice began to shake. He rubbed her hand with his 2 hands.
Spike: Luv, sweetie, it's me, please pet, don't do this to me. I've just found you; I can't live with out you. I was wrong I know that.
His voice began to crack and he was actually crying. He squeezed her hand.
Spike: Luv, you *need* to be there, to watch *our* baby girl grow and become something... please, I've waited my whole life to find someone like you, I can't lose you baby...
Her eyes began to flutter kind of. He doesn't notice until she speaks in a low, quiet, cracky tone.
Buffy: Sp... Spike? Where am I?
Spike: The hospital baby, you just delivered our little baby girl.
He said as more tears began to fall of joy. She began to get weaker and weaker, barley hearable.
Buffy: Where is she? Is she ok? Spike, if I don't make it, I want you to promise me you'll take care of her... of...
She drifted back into a deep sleep. Spike shook her standing up as the dry tears stained his face. She wasn't waking up. The heart monitor by her bed was not responding, it was very, very slow. Spike jumped up running out of the room to find the closest doctor. He pulled the doctor into the room pointing to Buffy and talked very quick.
Spike: She... She was awake, she spoke! I saw her she... she...
Doctor: Ok, Sir, I need you to calm down, ok, this may sometimes happen but it's not a sure thing that she will...
Spike: Don't even say it.
The doctor stopped his sentence.
Doctor: Ok, Sir, would you like to see your baby girl?
Spike: If it's no problem.
Doctor: Ok, stay here and keep an eye out for Miss Summers... if anything happens again, please come get a doctor immediately.
Spike: Ok...
The doctor left out the door. He sat back in the chair next to the bed and took her hand once again as he did before. He looked at Buffy's face. Here hair was messed up and she had no make up but still Spike thought she looked beautiful. He took his hand and brushed the hair off of her face. Just then the doctor came in with a small pink bundle. The doctor brought the baby over and placed her in his arms. He looked and the beautiful baby in his arms, he looked at her and sobbed quietly holding the baby.
Doctor: Do you have a name?
Spike: Not yet Doc, thanks.
The doctor nodded and left him, the baby girl and Buffy alone together.
~~~
He held the baby so lovingly, so warmly. She was beautiful and didn't seem to cry once in his arms. He looked over to Buffy whose heart beat was getting weaker and weaker. He prayed that she would be ok; he prayed everything would be alright; after all, he couldn't live without her. He watched his luv just lye there when... was he seeing things? Did he just see her finger twitch? He gently stood up with the baby and went over to the door opening it to single a doctor, a doctor ran to them immediately.
Doctor: Is there something wrong Mr... um...
Spike: Giles... yeah, I saw her twitch, I maybe wrong but just in case.
Doctor: Mr. Giles... when someone is in this state, they might seem to twitch slightly but it may not be anything.
Spike: Ok then um...
He didn't say anything else and walked back to where he was sitting. He rocked the baby and forth when he heard a noise, a raspy little voice, it said his name once again and the heart monitor by the bed began to speed up just a bit. Through the open door Spike yelled 'Doc' and he came rushing in when Spike heard his name being called once again slightly, barley hearable. It was her, it was Buffy. He gave a weak smile holding the baby, still rocking her.
Doctor: Mr. Giles, I'm glad you called us when you did; she seems to be awaking if it's possible. Now if it's ok please, can you leave the room? We have a few tests and then you can see her again.
Spike: Ok.
He stood up kissing Buffy's hand, when at the door, and heard his name once again but louder.
Buffy: Spike!
Spike: Don't worry luv, I'll be here, I'm not going anywhere.
Buffy: O... Ok.
Spike left the room leaving the doctor and a few more doctors that came in alone.
~~~
He walked to the lobby where everyone sat extremely bored when Willow noticed him.
Willow: Spike! You're here! Angel you liar, you said he didn't come back with you.
Angel: Yeah well, the truth hurts.
Willow ran up to him along with the rest of them except Dawn she seemed to be pissed for some reason.
Faith: She's so cute! What's her name?!
She said about the small baby in his arms.
Spike: Don't know yet lamb.
Willow: Oh my gosh, I can't believe one of us has one of these already!
She said happily.
Spike: Yeah, well...
He noticed Dawn sitting all by herself in the lobby chairs.
Spike: Listen guys, who wants o hold her?
Willow: I do, please, if it's alright.
Spike: Ok, her you go Red, I'll be back.
He handed the baby to Willow gently as he walked over to where Dawn was and sat down next to her.
Spike: Hi bit.
She ignored him turning away from him.
Spike: Bit, listen here, I know I deserve every bit of you being angry at me, in fact I don't even understand why they aren't mad at me but...
Dawn: You hurt Buffy...
She said with an edge in her voice.
Spike: Yes, yes I did, I do not like that I hurt your sister but I can't take back tine Nib. I regret all the pain I caused big sis but it wasn't intentional.
Dawn: Yeah but you did it, like you did many times before...
With attitude she stated.
Spike: Bit, I know what I did, I doubt Buffy will even forgive me but... me and you were always tight bit, you're like my lil' sis but... what can I say... I'm sorry.
Dawn nodded not in his direction.
Spike: Pet, look at me.
She turned toward him looking into his deep blue eyes.
Spike: I want everything to be alright between us, it may take some time but... do you forgie me? Or will you forgive me?
Dawn gave a weak smile.
Dawn: Maybe, not right now.
Spike: Come here you.
He said putting out his arms; she went to him giving him a hug. She smiled.
Spike: Come on bit; let's go see your niece.
~~~
About 20 minutes later, Spike sat in the waiting room with the baby in his arms and with the gang. The doctor came out to him.
Doctor: Mr. Giles... we have great news, Buffy is doing better.
The group cheered.
Doctor: She is awake; you may see her but only 1 at a time please.
Spike: Ok.
He walked down the hall to the room, heart beating deep and hard, to the room with the doctor and he walked in, the doctor closing the door behind him. Buffy lyed there with her eyes open this time smiling toward the door. He walked over to the side of her bed and sat down.
Buffy: Is this her?
He voice shook from weakness and cracked. A tear fell down her face in joy and in sadness; he spoke in a soft, low tone.
Spike: Yeah, it's her luv.
He said rocking the baby.
Buffy: Can... can I hold her?
Spike: You sure can luv.
He smiled, handing her the baby, she sobbed ever so silently. She rocked the baby back and forth.
Buffy: Hi baby, hi... I'm your mommy.
She said sniffling and crying. Spike smiled at the 2.
Spike: What's her name luv?
She sniffled, as tears fell. He smiled, believing maybe miracles do happen.
Buffy: I don't know... um...
Spike: How 'bout Hailey lamb?
Buffy: I like it, Hailey Isabella Giles.
Spike: Very nice pet.
Buffy rocked Hailey back and forth, all of a sudden the baby began to cry loudly, Buffy winced, it was hurting her head after everything that had happened. Spike took the baby from her arms and rocked her, Hailey immediately shut up. Buffy frowned.
Buffy: She doesn't like me.
Spike: Of course she does pet, she just... I dunno...
The doctor came in with a clipboard.
Doctor: Hello, so, have you decided on a name?
Buffy: Oh, yeah, Hailey Isabella Giles.
Doctor: Very, very pretty.
He wrote the name down and Buffy smiled. The doctor leaned over to her and picked up the baby.
Doctor: Ok Miss Summers, don't worry, I just have to take her and do a few tests ok?
Buffy nodded and he walked out with Hailey leaving Buffy and Spike alone.
Spike: Are you doing ok luv?
Buffy yawned.
Buffy: Yeah, just tired.
She layed her head on the pillow, closing her eyes. He stood up kissing her forehead. He was about to turn away when she caught him by the arm.
Buffy: Spike?
Spike: Yes lamb?
Buffy: Don't.
She said sitting up looking at him. Spike was confused.
Spike: Don't what?
Buffy: Act like nothing happened. I don't want us to rush into this again. Let's take it slow ok, start as friends first? Then see what happens from there.
Spike: Pet, I won't hurt you ever again.
Buffy: Maybe... maybe not but now there's Hailey, if you hurt me, you hurt her. Let's take it slow ok?
Spike kissed her forehead, and she scooted back down into her bed, laying her head on her pillow and closing her eyes.
Spike: Slow my luv, we'll take it slow.
He whispered as she fell asleep, Spike heading back to the waiting room where everyone else waited. Faith was sitting in a wheelchair, with the gang surrounded.
Spike: What's happening?
He asked.
Angel: Faith... her water broke.
Another possibly day or more in the hospital. It was going to be one long week between the hospital visits and late night baby feedings. 'bloody hell' was the first thing that popped into Spike's head.
