Over the next nine months, all of the scoobies, Liam and Buffy dealt with the coming baby and the death. Until finally, Buffy was once again in the hospital, but this time for better news. After four hours of labor, Liam came into the waiting room, holding a little white bundle. Everyone gathered around as he moved the blanket away.
"Everyone, meet Elizabeth Marinna O'Malley."
"She's beautiful."
"Amazing."
"Her mother's eyes."
"Her father's nose."
"She'll be a strong one."
"She's so cute."
"She'll make the boys crazy."
"Already has."
"How's Buffy?" All of the scoobies stopped swooning over Elizabeth, and all turned as Willow asked her question.
Liam smiled. "Sleeping. You guys should go in and see her, she'd like that." He lead the way, as the scoobies contemplated that this could be the last time they saw their friend.
As they entered her room, they all saw Buffy turn and smile at them. Liam walked over, put Elizabeth in Buffy's arm, and sat down beside her.
"So...I think this calls for a party." They all smiled at Buffy grinned.
