"Buffy, Buffy! Talk to me!" Angel leaned over Buffy's form as she lay, racked in pain on her bed. Angel had brought her down there and locked the door.
"Angel! It hurts!"
"I know, Buffy you need to try and forget the pain! Can you do that for me?"
She nodded. Tears streamed down her face. "OK!"
"Buffy, tell me about the others! Did the plan work?"
"Yes." Buffy's face was marred with pain as she talked. "Xander took the spell, they must be at the house by now, if they're not in the cells." She cried out as another burst of pain hit her.
"Buffy!" Angel was out of his head. This couldn't be happening.
"Angel, what's wrong with Buffy?" Angel whipped around shocked. Xander stood behind him, fully materialized, he ran over to the bed.
"I don't know, she just fell down, upstairs, something's wrong with the baby!" Angel turned back to Buffy.
"Xander? Is that you? Did it work?" Buffy whispered out the words.
"Yeah Buff, I'm here, the other are safe. Now we need to get you out of here!" He moved to the center of the room. "Angel pick up Buffy, and bring her over here. Give me one of your hands, and one of hers." When Angel complied, Xander talked to Buffy. "Buff, I need you to be quiet, while I concentrate, ok?" She nodded. It took a few minutes, but suddenly bright lights surrounded them.
"Buffy!" Jenny called out as the scoobies rushed forward to support Xander, Angel and Buffy.
Angel looked around and was shocked to find that they were in Buffy's living room. "What happened?"
Giles took Buffy from Angel's arms. "Xander transported you and Buffy to her house. Hurry!" He called to the others. "Get Xander and Angel into the dinning room. Jenny help me get Buffy upstairs!" He and Jenny hurried to take Buffy upstairs.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Cried Angel as Oz and Willow pushed him into a chair in the dinning room.
"If you want to help her, stay still!" Said Oz. He then ripped Angel's shirt open and looked on his back, until they found what they were looking for. Willow suddenly sliced his back, and Angel roared.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting the tracer Spike and Dru put in your back out!" Said Oz as he struggled to hold him down. "We all had to do the same."
"What tracer? Dru and Spike never said anything about a tracer."
"This tracer, and it was a secret idea of Craig's it slipped out wile he was taking to Buffy.!" Said Willow, as she showed a small metal device to Angel.
"Can somebody help me with Xander?" Called Cordy. Willow rushed over to help, as Oz stayed to bandage a now calm Angel.
The two girls wrapped Xander up in blankets, laid him on the table and Willow preformed a reversal spell for the Touch of Gylos.
"What are they doing to Buffy?" Asked Angel, as Willow came back over. She had left Cordy with Xander so they could be together when he woke up.
"Trying to stabilize her." Said a worried Willow. "She'll be fine Angel, she's strong."

"How the hell could the get out?" Craig was wild with anger. "They could ruin everything!"
Before Spike could answer, Dru clutched her own belly and moaned. "Spike!" He ran to her and caught her before she fell.
"Dru, what is it?"
"They're gone!"
"We know pet, the little slayerettes has escaped."
"No, the others, they deceived us. Now she's in pain, and he's worried. But not to worry the pain will soon be over." Drusilla laughed, then frowned. "My Angel, he's gone." She then turned to Craig. "And your queen, she's gone too!"
"Buffy and Angel! They weren't ever evil!" Spike's anger was mounting by the second.
"How? But they passed Dru's test! They must have all been in on it!"
"No, just Buffy and Angel! They must have known before. Dru could've told if her friends knew."
"What are we going to do?" Craig felt like his world was crumbling. Spike turned to him, and Dru followed.
"I know that being angry makes me hungry! What about you Dru?"
"Oh yes, very hungry." The two vampires started to advance on Craig.
"What are you tow crazy, I helped you do this all. Without me, you'd be no where!"
"Probably mate, but if you look around you, you'd notice that we're pretty much no where now. So, I guess that's a bad thing for you!" A growled emitted from Spike's throat.
"Stay away, you crazy bastards!" Craig backed up, trying to get away from Spike and Dru.
The two vampires let their faces change, and their true natures came out.
"Times up, Craig my boy!" Craig screamed as Spike and Dru dived at him, trapping him under them. His screams died as they sunk their teeth into his neck.
