"Don't talk. It's ok Spike. You're never leaving me again. I love you. we
love you."
She felt her belly warm and saw it glow
The light covered Spikes body and stayed on him for minutes while Buffy just sat mesmerized by the glow, bathing in the warmth. When the light left and returned to her abdomen she looked at Spike.
He looked completely healed. But still starved. She wrapped her coat around his half naked body and showered him with kisses till he woke
"Slayer?" he asked voice still creaky"
"Spike!" She hugged him forcefully
"Wha happened?" I'll explain at gile's house come on, can you stand?"
"Na.my legs.broke"
"No they're not." She lifted him up and put his arm around her shoulders supporting almost all his weight.
"Hvta feed"
"Just a few more minutes. Giles will be here with blood." He just lolled
She dragged him threw the grave stones in time to see Giles drive up.
"I thought you said he was beaten"
"he was. It was Renee"
"Should have known not even born yet. Still carrying about outside the womb" he lifted Spikes limp body into the car.
"Your gonna have one hellava time trying to keep that girl grounded" Buffy smiled
"So tomorrow tell the scoobies that I'm pregnant and dead boy Jr. is back"
They heard a moan from the car and Buffy jumped in. "Spike.spike are you ok?"
"I'm.grrr no...Not de. cough cough not dead" he hacked
"What?" he grabbed her hand and put it over his heart Which was pounding like mad
"Giles!" She bumped her head
"Giles he has a heartbeat! Oh my god. Giles I think he's alive" She started crying he felt his heart.
"Best get him back to the house."
"Oh Spike I love you" She kissed his lips
They got to his house and put Spike on the bed
"Spike can you hear me?" She offered him a glass of human blood Giles had gotten from Willie
"Don't.want that." He said roughly.
"You don't want it? Its human.warmed up" She swirled it under his nose he gagged
"Oh my god you really are a human. She put her hand over his chest
"Giles, can you get me some squishy food? Something he doesn't have to chew much"
"Of.of course Buffy. are you sure?"
"She smiled at the light drum under her finger tips
"Positive"
he lifted up his hand and placed it on her stomach to feel the slight bulge there had been but now to feel the glow again as soon as his fingers touched it.
"Buff. your glowing gain" He whispered
She looked down
"Oh my god Spike!" She jumped up and he eyed her.
"Giles!" He ran in covered in mashed potatoes.
"Look!" She said indicating her belly that had once been only slightly showing her pregnancy now looked as if she were 5 months along
"The book" he told her.
Spike sat up and Buffy grabbed the book from her jacket.
"Theres more. 'When perfect love form a perfect circle so shall peace grow with in them and grow within peace as peace grows?' when Spike touched me. And I had my hand on his heart. The perfect circle. we made her grow. 'and grow shall she grow on the one times touch and learn from all the next. For in thy womb is her class room where peace be taught of peace and be given peace and take peace into thyself whilst thine parents be at peace."
Sounds like poetry to me. Its beautiful"
"Sure is.luv" Spike whispered taking her hand,
"Look Spike. that's Renee. That's our girl"
"Read me more" he pleaded her Giles went back to the kitchen as she read from the rest of the book.
"She brings peace to all she meets as she is the heavens and earth in one and purifies the souls of all to bring forth her Thorber." and you know the rest."
"What's a." he let the end trail finding it hard to finish the sentence
"A Thorber? I don't know. It's not in any dictionary, language, or any other prophecy except this one."
"Spike?" He looked up at Giles
"I fixed pudding, mashed potatoes and chicken noodle soup."
"Thanks * swallow * watcher"
"Come on." Buffy lent him a hand up
"You're eating something too" He told Buffy
"I'll try,"
"I have to run an errand, I'll stop by everyone's homes and call the meeting for 9 or so tomorrow morning and I'll be back by 11."
"Thank you Giles. for everything." Buffy hugged him. "We'll probably be gone by then"
"Very well, see you tomorrow"
Giles left and they ate their dinner in silence before making their way to her house.
