"Spike, Spike wake up" Buffy said franticly.
"What? What is it honey?" he said sleepily.
"Spike, the baby's coming" Buffy said.
"What! Now!" he said and jumped out of bed.
"Yes, we have to go!" Buffy said.
"All right let's go," he said quickly putting on his pants and getting their stuff together and left. It had been five and a half months and Buffy's pregnancy had gone well. Now today they would have it. They rushed to the hospital.
"Hi, my name is Buffy Summers, I'm in labor" Buffy said.
"Okay, who's your doctor?" the secretary asked.
"Uh, doctor Helen" Buffy said.
"All right, take a seat please" the secretary said as a nurse brought a wheelchair for her. She took a seat. "Doctor Helen to the front desk please." A couple minutes later the doctor came.
"Hello Buffy" she said.
"Hi, I'm having the baby" Buffy said.
"Okay, well relax, okay lets get her into room 12 please and get her ready to deliver, it will be okay Buffy" the doctor said. And they wheeled her away.
"Spike call my mom a-and Willow, and everyone else okay" Buffy said.
"Of course" Spike said. He went to the first pay phone he could find and called Joyce, then Willow, Oz, Xander and then Cordelia.
"Honey, how are you doing?" Joyce asked twenty minutes later she arrived.
"Hi mom, I'm okay I'm- oh holy hell!" she yelled when a contraction hit. "Ow, ow!" she said.
"Okay here" Spike said and she took his hand and squeezed. Soon the contraction was over.
"Except for the contractions, they're a bitch" Buffy said and relaxed again.
"Well yes of course they are" Joyce smiled.

"Push Buffy, come on, now push one more time and you'll meet your baby," the doctor said and Buffy pushed hard and the baby came out.
"Oh here we go, it's a beautiful baby girl" the doctor said and cleaned her off and handed her to Buffy.
"Oh, she so gorgeous" Buffy cried.
"She sure is, she looks just like you baby" Spike said and stroked the baby's forehead. "I'm so proud of you" he whispered to Buffy and kissed her on her lips lightly. Buffy now had tears in her eyes from all of the labor and happiness.
"So, do you have a name for her yet?" the doctor said.
"No, we don't" Buffy said in panic.
"It's okay, we'll just call her baby girl Bryson" the doctor smiled. "Okay, I'm going to weigh and measure her all right?" she took the baby brought her over to the scale.
"How much does she weigh?" Buffy asked.
"7 lbs and 5 oz" Doctor Helen said. After she measured her she wrapped her in a pink blanket and put a pink hat on her head and handed her back to Buffy. "I'll leave you three alone." With that she and the nurses left.
"She's superb" Spike said.
"I know, she absolutely amazing, our little sweetheart" Buffy said. "Do you want to hold her?"
"Yeah" Spike said and Buffy handed the baby to him.
"We still need a name for her honey" Buffy said.
"Well you brought that baby name book, look in there" Spike said.
"Okay" Buffy said and got out the book. "I don't even know where to start."
"All right, think of a meaning, what do you want it to mean.
"I don't know, you know in my dream, the baby was named Ashley Renee, do you like that name, honestly?" Buffy asked.
"Uh, yeah, it okay" Spike said.
"But not right" Buffy said.
"Why don't we name her after someone, like a name from your family and mine" Spike suggested.
"Okay, who did you have in mind?" Buffy asked.
"Uh, well I wanted to name her after my aunt Charlotte" Spike said.
"Charlotte! That's perfect!" Buffy said. "Charlotte. . .Joyce" Buffy said.
"That's nice" Spike said and looked down at the little girl who was now sleeping.
"Little Charley" Buffy said. Spike gave Charlotte to Buffy. "Hi my little girl, welcome to our lives."
"Buffy" Buffy heard Joyce say and knock on the door. "Can we come in?"
"Of course" Buffy said. Joyce came in followed by Dawn, Willow, Xander, Cordelia and Oz.
"Oh, Buffy she's so beautiful" Dawn said.
'What's her name honey?" Joyce asked.
"Charlotte Joyce Bryson" Buffy said.
"Aw honey that's beautiful" Joyce said.
"We wanted to name her after people we love, Charlotte is after Spike's aunt, and well you know who Joyce is after" Buffy smiled.
"Well I'm honored" Joyce said. "Can I hold her?"
"Of course" Spike said and handed Charley to Joyce.
"She's beautiful" Willow said.
"Oh she sure is" Joyce smiled. "Hi Charley, I'm your grandma, yes."
"Me next" Dawn said after a while.
"Okay here you go" Joyce said and handed the baby to Dawn.
"Hi Charley, I'm your auntie Dawn" Dawn said happily.
"What's wrong baby?" Spike asked when he noticed that Buffy had a strange look on her face.
"I don't know, I feel. . .I. . .I don't feel so well" Buffy said quietly and laid down and closed her eyes.
"Honey?" Spike said, but Buffy didn't answer. "Buffy? Buffy?" he began to shake her but she wouldn't wake. "Oh god."
"W-what's wrong?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, um, D-Doctor Helen, we need you now!" Spike said as he pushed the intercom button above Buffy's bed. "Buffy! Come on baby wake up, Buffy!"
"What's the problem?" the doctor said when she entered the room.
"Something's wrong with my daughter" Joyce said frantic.
"Buffy? Buffy sweetheart?" the doctor said, checking her pulse and her eyes. "We need some assistance here, now!" soon after three more doctors came into the room accompanied by five nurses.
"What happened?" one of the doctors asked.
"I don't know, she was fine, and then she said she didn't feel well, and she just. . .what's wrong with her?" Spike asked.
"Let's take her to room 15A" one of the doctors said.
"You didn't answer my question" Spike said.
"Look if you want us to save get the hell out of the way" the doctor said and they wheeled Buffy out of the room.
"Oh my god" Joyce said.
"What? What is it honey?" he said sleepily.
"Spike, the baby's coming" Buffy said.
"What! Now!" he said and jumped out of bed.
"Yes, we have to go!" Buffy said.
