Chapter Forty- five: Double Trouble
Faith stayed with Buffy all night as she cried herself to sleep, occasionally wailing that she had lost him forever, the next day, Buffy asked Faith to come to her doctors appointment with her, Buffy was quiet the whole way there, Faith put a supportive arm around her as the sat in the waiting room, Buffy leaned her head on her friends shoulder, trying not to cry again
"Crawford" The nurse called out
"Come on B" Faith said pulling Buffy up by the hand, Faith was about to let go only to find Buffy held on to it, Faith smiled and pulled her to the room
"Buffy, how have you been" The nurse asked
"Not good" Buffy replied with her head down
Faith put a hand on her shoulder, the nurse looked at Faith curiously
"And you are..." The nurse asked with a glint in her eye looking at Faiths body up and down
Faith saw what she was doing and answered
"Totally straight so don't get any ideas"
Buffy looked up at Faith hit her on the stomach slightly to stop being rude
"Sorry Louise, this is my best friend Faith, she just got back in town and I think she left her manners behind" She said giving Faith a pointed look
"Right, sorry, hi Louise" Faith said not meaning her apology extending her hand to the tall brunette woman, who was still giving Faith the eye
Louise winked at Faith and walked to the other side of the room to collect some equipment
"Do you have to be so horrible" Buffy said
"She was coming on to me" Faith said
"It doesn't matter she was being nice to you"
"Well as long as she doesn't try and get too nice, if she thinks she can sweet talk me in to getting into my pants she got another thing coming" Faith said
Buffy chuckled slightly and was very glad she had her friend back
"Now Buffy, you aid you haven't been doing to well, what's wrong is the baby giving you trouble"
"No, its just ..." Buffy started to choke up as she remember the main reason she wasn't
"She been having some family problems, the baby's fine, right" She said looking down at Buffy
"As far as I know but I've had a lot of pressure on with Alex and my husband..." Buffy cut her self of thinking about Spike
Louise could see she was getting worked up and knew it was time she moved on
"Ok, lets see how baby is doing" She said signalling for Buffy to lie down and lift her shirt up, once Louise circle the scanner her swollen belly, she gasped
"What is it what wrong" Buffy asked worried
Louise smiled and turned the screen round
"Oh my god" Buffy said
"What, I don't see what's wrong" Faith said
"Well Faith, looks like Buffy has got double trouble"
"What are you having twins" Faith said
"Looks like" Buffy said with tears coming down her face
"Err Lou could you leave us for a second" Faith said
"Sure, Ill be outside" She said briefly touching Faiths shoulder
Faith rolled her eyes and looked down at her friend wiping at her tears
"Hey, what's with the waterworks, you should be happy,"
"I am, but at the same time I'm so not, I've got these little people in my body and I've just sent their father away...forever" She said crying again
Faith grabbed onto her shoulders and stopped her from getting right into it again
"You listen to me, you have got a beautiful son and two babies on the way and *when* Spike comes back, he will see them and he will be happy, what ever happened in that dream last night we will sought it out ok, no big, and I will be with you every step of the way, as long as this nurse doesn't try and kidnap me for her sexual pleasure" Faith said jokily
Buffy chuckled and wiped at a tear
"We'll get through this ok B," Faith said
"Ok, thank you" She said hugging Faith
Louise then came in with a picture of the ultrasound and handed it to Buffy
"Well Buffy, I'll see you in a few weeks for your next check up"
"Thank you Louise" Buffy said walking over to the chair to grab her coat,
"And hopefully I'll see you again, Faith" Louise said slipping her phone number into Faiths pocket
Faith was about to say something when Buffy grabbed her arm and pulled her out the room
"Do I have gay and available, written on my forehead" Faith said as the left the doctors' office
