Chapter Eighteen: Names
As the days past Spike never left her side, Buffy had been in a coma for 3 days. Spike didn't like his son out of his sight so if someone wanted to hold him they did it in the room were he could see them. The nurses had brought a small bassinet in for the baby so he didn't have to sleep in Spikes arms all the time,
Spike lay on the bed next to Buffy when she started to move "Spike." She whispered with her eyes closed
"Buffy," He said hearing her whisper "Buffy come on wake up luv"
"Spike is that you." She rasped opening her eyes
"Its me I'm here" He said excitedly
"What happened, I remember you talking to the baby and the rest is a blank" She said as he grabbed her hand
"Shh baby everything's ok, I'm just going to get someone to make sure your ok alright pet, I'll be right back." He said before kissing her forehead and running out the door shouting 'she's awake, she's awake."
Buffy glanced over at were Spike had been sitting and spotted her baby lying asleep
She watched as Spike, Dawn and Faith came in followed by a doctor "How you feeling Buffy." The doctor asked while he checked monitors and Buffys pulse.
"I'm fine, I want to hold my son." She said reached out to him Spike instantly walked over to him and picked him up handed him Buffy
"Hello gorgeous" She said reaching a hand out to Spike to pull him next to her After a few hours the doctor checked Buffy over and said she would be able to go home in a few days
*~*~*~*~*~
It was the day Buffy was coming home and Dawn sat on the bed next to Buffy while Willow packed her stuff Xander leaned against the door frame, Angel sat with Faith on his lap as Spike stood at Buffys bed side holding his cooing son in his arms
"So luv names." Spike said looking down at his son in his arms
"You haven't thought of a name yet?" Dawn asked
"Well every time we try we start to argue so we thought we'd get your help" She said looking around at everyone
"What about Justin." Dawn said "As in Justin Timberlake."
"My son is not being named after that prancing pounce." Spike said
"What about Sean?" Faith asked
"Sean rhymes with porn." Buffy said
"So"
"I don't want my sons name to rhyme with porn."
"What about Zachary, Zack for short." Willow asked
"No Zacks I have had enough of Zacks to last a life time, remember the vamp on my 18th." Buffy said
"Oh yeah."
"Hey what about Angel?" Angel said with a smile
"What did I say about poncy names Peaches?" Spike said with a grin as everyone looked at Angel and started laughing
"Shut up Spike" Angel said as he nudged Faith to shut up as she was still laughing
"How about Dan" Dawn said
"That's just Dawn with no W" Buffy said smiling
"I know."
"Michael" Willow said
"No" Spike and Buffy said at the same time
"David" Dawn said
"No" They said again
"Nathan." Faith said
"No"
"Liam" Angel said
"No"
"No wonder he has no name you two disagree with everything." Faith said smiling
"Hey what about Alexander." Xander blurted out
"Or what about Alex." Buffy said looking up at Spike
Spike remembered the policewomen that helped him get to the hospital and that he said he would never forget her name
"I like Alex,"
"Really." Xander said surprised
"What about you son do you like Alex?" He said looking down at him as he made a big gurgling sound
"Alex it is then." Spike said
"Well Xander, looks like your sharing your name." Buffy said smiling at him and reaching for him from Spike
"Hey, your son is named after me, me how great is that." Xander said excitedly
"Not only after you whelp." Spike said
"What." Buffy asked
"Well the nice police lady that got me here when you were in labour was called Alex too" He said sitting next to Buffy and putting a arm round her and Alex
"You are naming our son after a woman" Buffy said lightly hitting him on the arm
"Hey." Xander shrieked
"Sorry Xand." Buffy said
"Well if it hadn't been for her, I would have never been here to see him born now would I" He said
"Fine, Alex Crawford it is then, oh wait middle names" Buffy said
Everyone groaned, as they didn't want to go through another round of names
"That can wait." Spike said
