Buffy slowly opened her eyes. she was so happy to be awake, so happy
to see Spike.
"Mmm" she said quietly.
"Buffy, oh god, you're-you're awake, oh god" Spike said happily as he pushed the button above Buffy's bed. "Uh, c-can we get a doctor in here Buffy Summers is awake."
"Right away sir" the nurse said and the doctor came into the room.
"Buffy, wow, this is. . .how are you feeling?" the doctor said as he checked her eyes and pulse.
"I feel tired, that's all" she said.
"Okay, well all her vitals seem normal" the doctor said.
"So you can do the operation?" Spike asked.
"Yes, we have to do some tests first" he said.
"Okay, thanks" Spike said.
"All right, we'll have to take some blood" the doctor said.
"More blood" Buffy whined.
"Yep, she's her self" Spike smiled.
"All right, we'll send the nurse in, in awhile" the doctor said and left.
"Oh god baby you have no idea-" Spike began.
"What happened?" Buffy asked. She didn't remember anything except waking up.
"You have a tumor honey, in your placenta" Spike told her.
"Is the baby okay?" she asked.
"Yes, she's fine" Spike told her. "Don't you ever scare me like that again."
"I promise" she smiled. "Now kiss me." He smiled as well and bent down and kissed her on her lips lightly. "Oh come on you have to do better than that" she teased and he kissed her again, this time more passionately. "That's better." He smiled at her.
"I love you so much" he said and she kissed him again.
"I love you too" she whispered.

Buffy was scheduled for the operation two days later. They said that if it went well then everything would be fine, but if it didn't, Buffy could die. Buffy wanted to do the operation anyway, because if they didn't, she would die for sure. They prepped her for the surgery and then they put her under anesthesia and began. They operation took six and a half hours. Finally it was finished. The doctor sewed Buffy up and took her to recovery and then went to talk to her family.
"How is she, did it go well?" Joyce asked.
"Yes, it went very well, we're pretty certain that we got it all" the doctor said.
"What do you mean pretty certain?" Spike asked.
"Well, there's always a chance that it can come back, but she's totally fine now and everything's great" the doctor said in a happy tone which made everyone relax.
"Can we see her?" Spike asked.
"Yes, three at a time please" the doctor said.
"Okay, Spike Dawn and I will go in and then you guys can see her all righ" Joyce told Xander, Willow Cordelia and Oz.
"Sure, of course" Xander said. Joyce Dawn and Spike went into the recovery room and Buffy was just coming to.
"Hey baby" Spike said.
"Hi" she said still groggy.
"How are you feeling?" Dawn asked.
"Mmm, sleepy, is Charley all right, you've been holding her and stuff?" Buffy asked Spike.
"Yes, she's fine, don't worry about anything, just worry about you getting better okay" Spike said.
"Okay" she whispered, closing her eyes again.
"Buffy?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah?" Buffy answered.
"I love you, we all do" Dawn told her.
"I love you too Dawnie, all of you" Buffy smiled, her eyes still closed.
"Come on honey, let's let Buffy get some rest" Joyce told Dawn.
"No, I want to go home" Buffy said.
"Luv you'll be able to go home in a couple days okay, just get some rest" Spike said.
"Okay" Buffy gave up and fell asleep. Later Xander Cordelia and Oz went in to see her.
"Hey Buff" Xander said and handed her a gift.
"Ooh, presents" Buffy said happily. She was now fully awake. She unwrapped the box and found a sweatshirt that had the words 'Queen Elizabeth' on it in big pink glittery letters and under that it said 'I'm not a good girl' in little black letters. Buffy laughed at that. "Thank you."
"You're welcome" he said and kissed her on her forehead.
"Okay me next" Cordelia said and gave her a little square shaped box. She opened it and it was a gold necklace that said Buffy. "I had it specially made for you."
"Thanks Cordy" Buffy said.
"You're welcome sweetie" Cordy said and gave her a hug and then a kiss on the cheek. Next Oz went. The box he gave her a big. She opened it to find-
"A video camera? You got me a video camera?" she asked astonished.
"Well you know every mother needs this, to record her baby's firsts" Oz said with a smile.
"Thank you" she said and hugged him.
"You're welcome" he said.
"Thank you all, where's Will?" Buffy asked.
"Oh, she had to wait, she's gonna come in after, with Spike and your mom, Dawn's asleep so. . ." Xander said.
"Oh, so. . ." Buffy said, running out of things to say.
"We're glad you're okay Buff, we don't know what we'd do without you" Cordelia said.
"Yeah, believe it or not, you're the glue of this group" Oz said. Buffy could feel her eyes filling with tears.
"No I'm not" she said.
"Yes you are" Cordelia said.
"You guys are gonna make me cry" Buffy said with a smile.
"We saw Charlotte, she's beautiful" Cordelia said.
"Oh, thank you, actually I want to see her, I haven't since, well she was born" Buffy said.
"Okay, well we'll go so Spike, your mom and Will can see you" Xander said and they all left. A couple minutes later Joyce Willow and Spike came into the room, Spike holding Charley.
"Aw, my baby" Buffy said with a smile.
"Here you go, Charley, you're mommy's all better now and she can go home tomorrow" Spike said giving Charlotte to Buffy.
"I can, oh that's so great" Buffy said. "Hi baby girl, aw you are so precious."
"How are you honey?" Joyce asked.
"I'm okay, actually I feel great, I want to get out of this hospital though, now" Buffy said.
"Tomorrow honey" Joyce said.
"They said the operation went well, they told me, it's. . ." Buffy said.
"It's the best new we could of gotten" Spike said.
"Oh I'm so. . .so scared, I feel like I'm standing on the edge of a mountain and I'm holding on and any minute I'm gonna let go and fall off" Buffy said.
"Don't worry baby, I won't let you" Spike smiled and she smiled back. Buffy was allowed to go home the next morning. She was so happy and relieved to be home with her husband and newborn baby. That night she slept in her bed and had a goodnight's. Better than she had in a while.
"Mmm" she said quietly.
"Buffy, oh god, you're-you're awake, oh god" Spike said happily as he pushed the button above Buffy's bed. "Uh, c-can we get a doctor in here Buffy Summers is awake."
