Chapter 5
Buffy changes her clothes before the ambulance gets to her house. Grabbing her already packed bag she puts it down by the door. Buffy hears the sirens and thanks god that it's there so quick. She hears a knock on the door, she goes to open when a pain hits her and all she can do is turn the knob.
"Miss, sit down and tell me what is wrong." The EMS person asks Buffy.
"What does it look like you moron? Uhhhhh, make it stop, please make it stop."
"How far along are you?"
"I'm maybe 36 or 37 weeks along. I think my water broke, the pains are about 5 minutes apart." The man looks at his partner and turns to Buffy, motioning her to lie on the stretcher. When he has her on it he begins to put an IV in her. While this is happen the other man is taking her blood pressure and other vital signs. Buffy is taken to the hospital.
The nurse on duty preps Buffy for her first of many cervix checks. "Ok now I need you to open your legs wide. I'm going to check and see how far you are." After checking her, the nurse places monitors on Buffy to keep the heart beat in mind and one to tell them how hard her contractions are. The nurse hears something that is not right, for the patient she is seeing before her. Checking the chart again she returns to Buffy room checking one more time for what she hears. After checking Buffy, the nurse returns to the desk and calls the doctor to report her suspicion. The doctor on call is paged and he comes to the ward.
"Buffy we are going to do a sonogram and have a look at the baby. I just want to see how the baby is lying, make sure it is in the right position for birth." The doctor told Buffy. The nurse brought the sonogram machine to Buffy's room. The doctor thanks the nurse for the machine and squeezing cold liquid on Buffy's stomach then smearing it across it. He turned the screen toward him so he could see and were Buffy can't. As he scanned Buffy's stomach the doctor is able to catch the suspicion sound that the nurse told him of. Thinking that Buffy already knew what the sonogram said, the doctor reinsures Buffy that every thing is fine.
"Buffy everything is fine and the baby is in position. So we will watch you and in I say about 12 hours you will be a mom. Ok?" The doctor says to Buffy as he writes orders down for her. The nurses keep a close eye on Buffy's progress, she is dilating quicker then they thought she would. So they call the doctor with the new information.
Buffy hasn't been able up to now to try to reach Willow her coach. "Can I call someone?"
"Sure sweetie, here's the phone make sure to dial 9 to get an outside line."
Buffy calls Willow and her Mom to come up to the hospital. After they come, everyone helps Buffy with her breathing and encourage her to continue.
As Buffy is lying in a hospital bed in labor; Spike is at the bank asking for a business loan. He wants to open a photo studio. Spike is finally following his dream. When he met Dru he was still in school, so when she claimed to be pregnant by him he did the honorable thing, he married her. She always thought he had money but all he had was a small company to develop film; it did well but not great. He never wanted more until he met her, the mystery women. She reminded him of his first passion, photographing people and things. So he will open a photo studio were he could travel around doing wedding and parties. He can take little children's pictures and capture peoples' important moments. He just gave up on finding this woman; she was no where he could find her, and so he will go on without her. He will remember their one night and hold it near to his heart forever.
"Hey, Spike did you get the loan?" Xander asks as Spike walks out of the bank.
"They gave me the money and even going to help find a place to start. The loan officer said that is what this small town needs. He said that he believe in my dream. Aren't that funny?" Spike says as he turns around in circles. He stops in front of Xander and grabs his fore arms squeezing them as he talks to him.
"Ok when do you start looking for places?"
"I have my eye on a small warehouse in the downtown area, over on Cypress- Fairbanks. You know the one I am talking about?"
"Yeah, but that will be a lot of space for you to use. Are you sure you need something that big." Xander is worried that his friend is biting more than he can handle. Spike reinsures him that it is perfect for is wishes.
