Chapter 17
Buffy felt the first contractions early in the morning. She ignored them and didn't say anything to the girls because she figured it could be a false alarm plus to wake them up would be hell. Her first pregnancy although with a small belly had been quite late. She didn't really expect anything until at least a week after she was due and it was 2 weeks till her due date.
She rubbed her belly in small circles as she watched Eliza laugh at the cartoons on the television. She smiled but it turned into a wince as her back gave a twinge.
She had finally given in to the fact that she was in labor and slowly got up. Eliza sprang up and said "What's wrong momma, want me to get Aunty Willow and Aunty Faith." Buffy smiled and said "It's ok, we got lots of time." Eliza looked at her belly and said "You sure". Buffy chuckled and said "Yeah baby, come on, come help me get the bags. Aunty Willow will be up soon." Eliza scrambled to Buffy's room as Buffy slowly padded to the room. She took a deep breathe and walked over to Eliza's room where Faith and Willow still slept.
Eliza had the habit like most little children of waking up at 6:30 am.
Buffy opened the door and said "Come on girl's time to get up". She heard Willow something that sounded like "But mom" and Faith just opened her eyes blearily. Faith looked up at Buffy who was leaning on the door frame and said "It's too early to be up".
Buffy nodded and said "Ahh well guess your going to miss the birth of my second born." Faith blinked a few times and said "Serious?" Whereas Willow suddenly bolted up and said "Holy cow your in labor." She started running around picking things up while the girls stared at her in amazement.
Buffy walked over and stopped her and said "I've been in labor since about 1 this morning Will, a couple more minutes isn't going to matter." Willow smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry." Faith laughed and said "God Red, you would think this was your pregnancy." Willow smiled at her and said "It's Buffy's and that is just as bad." Buffy chuckled and said "I've been through this before Will (Eliza came to the door) Hey baby did you want to come or go to Uncle Matt's?" Eliza pouted and said "But I want to see the baby".
Buffy patted her head and said "It might be a few hours baby." Eliza frowned and said "Aunty Faith is going right?" Buffy nodded and Eliza said "Then I am too". Buffy grinned and said "I guess you can stay with Willow since Aunty Faith is coming with me". Eliza said "Why can't Aunty Willow go with you". Buffy said under her breath "Not if she doesn't want her hand broken" Aloud she said "Aunty Willow wants to wait outside with you sweetie ok?" She nodded and said "Ok let's go girls".

Buffy was laying in the bed with Faith and Willow and Eliza sitting on chairs talking. She grimaced as another contraction hit and said "God this one really doesn't want to come out yet." Faith smirked at her and said "Well look what it has to come out to." Buffy shook her head and said "Jeez Faith and here I thought you like me".
A nurse walked in and ushered the girls to the side as she checked Buffy's progress. She smiled at her and said "Well Ms O'Connor it looks like we're ready to progress to the next stage". Buffy rolled her eyes and said "Good because I want the drugs now!"
Willow picked Eliza up and set her beside Buffy and said "Say see you later to your mommy". Eliza kissed her on the cheek and said "I'll see you soon mommy and them too." Buffy looked at her curiously and said "Them? I think your confused sweetie, Your only going to have a brother or sister not both." Eliza's smile didn't waver and said "Ok mommy". She got off the bed and waved before grabbing Willow's hand, Willow turned and said "Good luck Buffy".

Buffy said through clenched teeth "Give me your hand Faith". Faith stared at her red face and said "Jeez B if I knew you were like that..." Buffy glared at her and she stopped and gave her the hand. The doctor looked up and said "Ok Buffy you can push now." Buffy rolled her eyes and said "What did you think I was doing". She took a deep breath and pushed again and then took a deep breath and pushed again harder. The doctor put pressure on her legs and said "I can see the head, one more big push should do it". Buffy gripped Faith's hand so tight that if she wasn't the slayer it would have broken. She took a deep breath and pushed with all her slayer strength. The baby popped out with ease and the doctor proudly showed her and said "You have a healthy baby girl."
Buffy let out her air and said "Can I see". The doctor nodded and they placed the baby carefully on her chest. She quickly counted 10 fingers and 10 toes and everything else normal. She had bright blue eyes and a tuft of black hair and the softest pinkish skin. Buffy said quietly "Hi Joy I'm your mommy." The doctor took her to get cleaned up and Buffy leaned back in the bed exhausted.
She looked at Faith and said "2 girls." Faith smiled and said "2 girls". Buffy smiled and took a deep breath but suddenly stopped and shot a look at Faith. Faith looked at her curiously and said "What?"
Buffy looked a little scared and said "I want to push again" Faith looked confused and said "huh". Buffy winced and said "I don't know but my insides want me to push still. I think something is wrong" Faith called out "Hey Doc". The doctor came over and she said "B thinks something is wrong she still needs to push." The doctor looked at the chart and then at Buffy. He sat on the chair and took a look under the sheet again.
He went over to the bench and put on a pair of gloves and walked back over to Buffy and said "Well Ms O'Connor it looks like your having twins." Both women stared at him and Buffy said "What no! The ultrasound would have picked it up.. ow" Another contraction hit her suddenly and she had to stop talking. The doctor looked at her and said "Well there is definitely another head down here, I'll explain after, now one push should do it."
Buffy sighed and grabbed Faith's hand again and took a deep breath and pushed hard. The baby once again plopped out with ease and the doctor smiled and said "It's a boy."
Buffy let out a breath and he put the baby on her, she took a look at him and smiled. He was gorgeous like his sisters but so different. He gurgled up at her and like his sisters didn't cry when he came out and didn't cry looking at her. She looked at Faith shocked and said "looks like it is a good thing I picked out two names hey?" Faith nodded and said "What's his name". Buffy smiled and said "Liam Angel O'Connor."

Author note: Thanks to the person who suggested twins, I liked it so I took it. Oh and she was bigger than her first pregnancy and wham twins. The doctor will explain in the next chapter why they didn't know so no bugging me about that.
Fischergirl: Angel can't kill Cordelia because of the spell so sorry but that won't be happening! Plus much better when he realizes what's been happening(.
Oh I also made it twins because you guys wanted a boy and then some wanted a girl so enjoy. Although I gotta say hard work for Buffy.
I would have called him Connor but Connor O'Connor is just mean :-)
Thanks again to everyone reviewing you guys are the best ever!
