HEY! NEXT CHAPTER, THE BIRTH OF WILLOW'S BABY AND OTHER SURPRISES!
Buffy rushed to the hospital trying not to wreck her car. After pulling into the lot she helped Willow out of the car and helped into the hospital.
"Woman in labor here!" Buffy said to the receptionist behind the desk.
"Name please?" the woman asked.
"Willow Rosen- I mean Willow Osborne" Willow said. Willow and Oz had gotten married a month earlier. They didn't have a big wedding, just a small one with only their closest friends at city hall.
"Okay, your doctor is dr. Helen?" she asked.
"Yes" Willow said.
"All right she'll be right here, just take a seat" the lady said and Willow sat in the wheel chair the orderly brought for her. "Take her to room 256A please." Buffy walked with the orderly as he wheeled Willow to her room. When they were settled Buffy called Spike.
"Hello?" he said answering the phone.
"Hi honey, uh Willow's in labor, I'm at the hospital, I just called to tell you" she said.
"Oh, how is she?" Spike said.
"She's okay, I have to call Oz so I have to go, I love you" she said.
"Love you too pet, I'll be there in a little while" he said.
"Okay" she said and her call waiting beeped. "Oh honey, that's the call waiting, bye."
"Bye" he said and she switched over.
"Hello?" she said.
"Buff, it's Xander, look Cordy's in labor, we're on our way to the hospital now, can you and Will come?" he asked.
"We're already here, Willow's in labor too" Buffy said.
"Oh, okay, well, wow, we'll be there soon" he said.
"Okay, bye" she said and hung up. After calling Oz she made sure Willow was comfortable. Within an hour everyone was there including Xander and Cordelia except they were trying to get a room. The receptionist put her in with Willow.
"So" Cordelia said. "I wonder who's baby will be born first."
"Mine" Willow smiled.
"How do you know, mine might be born first" Cordelia said.
"Wanna bet?" Willow said.
"Okay" Cordelia agreed. "Bet what?"
"Um. . .whoever loses has to. . .buy the other a present" Willow said.
"What kind of present?" Cordelia asked.
"Um. . .I don't know, Buffy you come up with the terms" Willow said.
"Oh no, I'm not in this, this is you two" Buffy smiled.
"Oh come on, do us the favor please, we'll be your best friends" Cordelia said.
"You already are" Buffy said.
"Well we'll love you even more" Willow said.
"Fine okay, I will come up with the terms" Buffy said.
"Yea!" Willow smiled.
"All right, whoever loses. . ." Buffy thought and then smiled. "Whoever loses has to name the baby after me." Everyone looked at her weirdly and she looked around innocent. "What?"
"Uh sweetheart, that's kinda dissing yourself isn't it, making the loser name the baby after you" Spike smirked.
"Yeah and what if the baby's a boy?" Cordelia asked.
"Fine, fine, I'll come up with something" Buffy said.
"Oh I got it" Xander announced and Buffy glared at him.
"Hey this is my job" she pouted childishly.
"Fine I'll tell you and then you can say it" Xander said.
"Okay" she agreed and he whispered in her ear and she giggled. "Aw, that's cute, and it could be inconvenient."
"What?" Cordelia and Willow asked at the same time.
"Whoever loses has to be the soccer mom chauffer, carpool person for all of our kids, when they get older of course" Buffy said.
"Fine, agreed" Willow said.
"Ditto" Cordelia said.
*Later*
Fifteen hours later both Cordelia and Willow were in separate delivery room giving birth to their children. Both aware of the bet they were trying to rush. With only one doctor dr. Helen was very overwhelmed. She was running from room to room checking on both girls.
"God, this is like father of the bride part two huh?" Buffy joked. Spike smiled.
"I think that they're gonna be good mom's" Spike said and Buffy's eyes widened. "What?"
"I forgot to call mom! She wanted to be here, uh I have to call her, here take Charley" Buffy said as she carefully handed the sleeping toddler to Spike and took out her cell phone and dialed her mother's number.
"Hello?" Joyce answered.
"Hey mom, uh Willow and Cordelia are at the hospital, they're in labor right now if you want to come to the hospital" Buffy said.
"Oh of course, how long have you guys been there?" she asked.
"Uh. . .fifteen hours, I'm sorry I totally forgot to call you" Buffy said.
"It's all right, I'll be there soon, have you called Willow and Cordelia's parents?" Joyce asked.
"Um yeah, they're both out of town and can't get back, Willow's parents are in Detroit visiting family and Cordelia's are in Aspen skiing" Buffy said.
"Oh, well I'm going now so I'll see you soon" Joyce said.
"All right, bye" Buffy said and hung up. Joyce arrived within a half an hour and neither Willow nor Cordy had given birth yet.
"How are they?" Joyce asked.
"Fine, they're fine" Buffy said.
"Hi Buffy" Dawn said happily.
"Hey Dawnie" Buffy said and hugged her. Suddenly Xander and Oz come out into the waiting room.
"Hey" Xander said.
"Hi, so. . ." Buffy said.
"They're both born" Oz said.
"Who's was born first?" Spike asked.
"Mine" Oz said with a smile.
"Boys, girls, both?" Buffy asked.
"Well, I am proud to say that Cordy and I have a beautiful little girl" Xander smiled.
"Aw, and Oz?" Buffy asked.
"We have a girl too" Oz smiled.
"Aw, they'll be like the three musketeers, or better Charlie's Angels, no pun intended" Buffy smiled.
"Can we see them?" Spike asked.
"Yeah sure" Xander said and directed them into Willow and Cordelia's room. They were holding their babies in their hands.
"So Cordy you lost" Buffy smiled.
"Oh who cares, look at her" Cordelia said smiling at the baby.
"They're both beautiful" Buffy said.
"Do they have names?" Spike asked.
"Uh yeah, we have a name for our baby" Cordelia said.
"Us too" Willow said.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"Well this is Taylor Elizabeth" Willow said.
"Elizabeth, really?" Buffy smiled.
"Well it's not because of you- not that I don't love you, but my grandmother was named Elizabeth, and Oz's aunt is named Taylor" Willow said.
"Oh, well I'm still honored, it's a cute name you guys, what about you two?" Buffy asked Xander and Cordelia.
"This is little Gracie Chantal Harris" Cordelia said proudly.
"Aw, that's a pretty name too, I like them both" Buffy said.
"Yeah, they're pretty girls" Spike said.
"Can I hold one of them?" Buffy asked.
"Ooh, me too" Dawn said.
"All right, who wants who?" Xander said.
"Well why don't you hold them and then switch" Oz said.
"Okay, I'll take Gracie" Dawn said.
"And I'll take Taylor" Buffy said. Xander and Oz handed them they babies.
"Welcome little ones" Joyce smiled and Dawn and Buffy rocked them back and forth.
Buffy rushed to the hospital trying not to wreck her car. After pulling into the lot she helped Willow out of the car and helped into the hospital.
