HEY! DID I SCARE YOU? HA, HA! ANYWAY HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER. PLEASE R/R!

Buffy was released from the hospital a week later. She had asked the doctor to try to operate. To try to get it all. After what had happened she realized how much she didn't want to die, not that she did before, but it was so clear to her now. She couldn't leave. The doctor had scheduled an appointment for an ultrasound in the next week. Today was that day. Buffy's heart was pounding as she finished getting dressed. She hoped so much that it didn't spread too much. They said it had spread to some places, but they didn't tell her which ones. If it spread to things they could take out then she would be okay. Spike came up the stairs with his freshly ironed shirt. "Hey baby" she said. "Hey" he said back. "You're sister's here so we can go." "Okay" she said. "Nervous?" he asked. "Muchly" she said and faced him. "I just hope that. . .I'll be okay, is that selfish?" "Of course not Baby, everyone is hoping that you'll be all right" Spike said.
"Okay, let's go" Buffy said. Spike put on his shirt and shoes and they went downstairs.
'Dawn, thanks for watching the kids for me" Buffy said.
"No problem, just come back with some good news" Dawn said.
"Here's to hoping" Buffy said and she and Spike left.
Buffy and Spike arrived at the doctor's office a while later and Buffy's heart was pounding even more. She gripped Spike's hand as the entered the clinic.
"Just sit baby, I'll sign you in," Spike said and Buffy sat. Spike told the secretary that they were here and a bit later Buffy was called back. Once in her room they wheeled her into the ultrasound room.
"Hello Buffy, I'm Dr. Talon" the dr. said.
"Hi" Buffy said nervously.
"Okay, we're going to see how far the tumor spread and hopefully we can control it" the Dr. Talon said.
"Okay" Buffy agreed. The doctor put the gel on Buffy's stomach and used the camera-like thingy to look. Buffy was too scared to look. The doctor took some pictures then dried the gel off Buffy and they wheeled her back to her room. Buffy's doctor came in a while later.
"Okay, Buffy we got the pictures," he said.
"A-and?" Buffy asked, afraid of his answer.
"It's good news, very good news, the tumor has spread, but not to an extant that we can't get it" the doctor said.
"You can operate?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, it's spread to the gal bladder and spleen, both of which can be removed, you don't need them to live" the doctor said.
"Oh. . .oh thank god" Buffy said. She wanted to scream with happiness. "When?"
"We can schedule it for tomorrow" he told her.
"Okay" Buffy said. Spike wasn't allowed to go in the ultrasound room with her so he went out for something to drink and he came back into the room.
"Hey, so do they know yet?" Spike asked, he could feel his hand shaking.
"Yes, they can operate!" Buffy almost screamed with joy. Spike's eyes lit up, more than Buffy had ever seen. He took her up in his arms and spun her around. After placing her back on the floor he kissed her, with more passion than they had had in a long time.
"You have no idea how. . .how fortunate I feel right now" he said, smiling.
"Me too" Buffy smiled. He kissed her again, and again, and again. They both felt good about this. They knew that she'd be okay. They couldn't wait to tell everyone the great news.
Buffy had everyone over her and Spike's house that very day. Since the operation was tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning Buffy wanted to inform them now.
"So honey, what did the doctor say?" Joyce asked.
"They. . .they did an ultrasound and confirmed that. . .they can operate, they said that I have the greatest chance of anybody they had ever seen, and most of those people with less chance than I have survive and go on to live normal healthy lives" Buffy informed them. Everyone in the room suddenly smiled. They all rushed her at once, all piling on her and hugged her. "Okay losing oxygen here." They all got off her, except for Dawn. She sat on Buffy's lap cuddling her.
"Buffy that's. . .that's. . .amazing" Joyce said smiling.
"Yeah Buff, it's the best news we could of gotten" Xander said.
"I am so happy you're going to be okay" Dawn said embracing Buffy. Buffy put her arms around her little sister and hugged her and kissed her on the top of her head. Their faces were no longer filled with sadness. They were all content. Buffy felt a warm glow come over her and then. . .suddenly she stopped breathing.

Hehe! Just kidding, god I wish I could have seen you're faces!
