Buffy walked into her bathroom and turned on the light. Lifting up the toilet seat, she felt the puke rising in her throat before finally it reached her mouth. Holding her hair behind her head, she watched as it flooded the water in the toilet. When she thought all of it was out, she let her hair fall over her face, flushed the toilet and rinsed out her mouth before exiting the bathroom.

"Buffy, are you up yet? You have work in ten minutes." Joyce said, walking in.

"Mom, I think I'm sick." Buffy said.

"Oh sweetie, that wont work on me." Joyce said. "Come on, get dressed, you're going to be late."

Buffy sighed and waited till her mother left to go searching through her clothes. She decided on a pair of short, jean shorts and a plain black t- shirt. She wasn't in the mood to get all dressed up and she figured since it was just a hair salon, it wouldn't matter too much. Putting her hair back, she left the room without any make-up or accessories.

"You look awful." Becky said as Buffy walked into the salon.

"Thanks." Buffy said sarcastically. "I feel worse."

"You kept Will out awful late the other night, what were you two up to?" Becky asked.

"Late? I didn't think 6 was very late."

"6? No honey, he came home at midnight."

"But he left my house at 6 . . ." Buffy said, but shook it off. "Do you mind if I go lay down in the back for a second, I'm feeling kind of dizzy."

"Oh yeah, go ahead."

Buffy gave her a nod of thanks before heading down the hallway to the back room. She opened the door to a room that had a few chairs, a TV and a fridge. Buffy walked over to the fridge, opened it up and took out a bottle of water. She'd pay Becky later. Sitting down in one of the chairs, Buffy turned the TV on and began to drink.

Will walked into his sister's salon, a smile spread across his face. Last night had been one of the best nights of his life. He knew now, more then ever, that he was in love with her. He was so deeply in love with Buffy Summers.

"Will, mind explaining yourself?" Becky asked while snipping away at an older lady's hair.

"Um, bout?"

"Bout where the hell you were last night."

"I told you, I was out with Buffy." Will said, confused.

"Might want to tell her that." Becky said.

"Where's she at? Is she here?"

"Back room."

Will hurried to the back room and slowly opened the door. Buffy was asleep in the chair, bottle of water by her side. She looked pale, but yet peaceful. Will made his way over to her and gently kissed her on the forehead, waking her up.

"Will?" Buffy asked, opening her eyes.

"'S me pet. How are you?"

"I'm okay. I feel kind of sick . . . But . . . Never mind." Buffy said.

"Why aren't you feeling well? Something you ate?"

"I don't know. I'm just dizzy, and I barfed earlier. But, I'm sure its nothing, probably just the flu. I should get back to work now, you're mom's not here so Becky probably needs the help." Buffy said, standing. Will stood by her, looking worried. "I'm okay, really. I promise." Buffy said, kissing him lightly on the cheek. "Wouldn't want you to get sick too."

"Look, I have to get back to work as well luv, if you need me, Becky knows the number." Will said.

"Thanks." Buffy said and walked out of the room.

Will smiled after her before leaving. If he were late, his dad would make sure he didn't have a job anymore. And that would mean no more money. No more money for dates with Buffy.

Buffy laid on her bed, reading the latest issue of Teen Magazine. There were some great beauty tips, but something more interesting caught her eye. Something that concerned her. The article was about teen pregnancy. It listed some symptoms; symptoms that Buffy seemed to have. No way, she couldn't be pregnant. It was just the flu, that's it. Nothing more. 'Should I check? Just to be sure? Oh god, should I go to the doctor? Or would he tell my parents? Should I buy and early pregnancy test?' So many questions ran through her mind. What was she going to do if she really was pregnant? She had to find out, she needed to know.

~*~

The doctor's office was a place that Buffy hated to be near, let alone sitting in it. She looked at the many magazines piled on a table next to her. One read, 'Baby Talk', another, 'American Baby', and 'Parent And Child'. Buffy's stomach was in knots at the thought that she might, sooner then she thought, be reading one of those.

"Buffy Summers?" The receptionist called from the doorway to the office.

Buffy stood and followed her into a room where she saw an older man, dressed in a long, white lab coat looking through a file, her file. Did he know already? Or does she have to tell him? How does she tell him? Oh no, he'll tell her parents. Why did she come here?

"So, Buffy, long time no see. Well, I guess you don't get a cold every summer, so why bother to come by?" Dr. Reynolds said. "Why are you here today? On such a warm one, you can't possibly have a cold."

"I . . . I don't know. I've been throwing up a lot, and I've been dizzy. My appetite has totally grown a lot . . ."

"Wait. At what time in the day do you usually throw up?"

"Well, the morning but . . ."

"I see. Now, I would understand if you do not want to answer this question, but I think you'll find it necessary. Are you sexually active?" Dr. Reynolds asked.

"Once, but that was it." Buffy said. "You cant get pregnant after just one time. Especially not when you're a. . . Virgin."

Buffy heard what she had said, but knew none of it was true. You'd have to be completely stupid to think it wasn't possible to get pregnant after just one time.

"Did you use protection?"

"Of . . ." She thought back to that night. She couldn't remember Will ever wearing . . . "Oh god. I am pregnant."

"I'm afraid it seems to be that way."

"You can't tell my parents. They . . . They cant find out about this." Buffy begged.

"I won't tell them Buffy, but you can't hide it forever. Another thing, weekly check ups. That is a must. You can see me, or any other doctor, its just very important that you do so." Dr. Reynolds said.

"Th. . . Thank you." Buffy said, standing.

"You can make an appointment now, or call later, which ever you prefer."

"Later." Buffy mumbled as she walked out of the room.

'What now?'
