Buffy and Faith walked into the school and found their friends. School had started that very day and they were now seniors.

"Hey guys. Can you believe it? We're seniors!" Willow squealed.

"Coffee?" Buffy asked and Willow smiled, holding up her coffee cup. "Will, we've talked about this."

"Caffeine helps me focus" Willow said.

"And climb the walls?" Faith asked.

"I like school. This is so cool" Willow said.

"Yeah, definitely has it's perks" Xander said and Spike came up behind Buffy and put his arms around her waist.

"Hey baby" he said, kissing her cheek.

"Hi" Buffy said happily.

"How's your mom, guys?" Cordelia asked.

"She's great. Getting a little antsy, but she's good" Faith said.

"When's she gonna have the baby?" Tara asked.

"The doctors say any day now. She'll be nine months pregnant in a week so we'll see" Buffy said and the bell rang. "Crap, we gotta go." Buffy took Spike's hand and they proceeded to their first class.

"God I hate history" Spike said.

"Look on the bright side, baby. We got the class together," Buffy told him and he smiled at her.

"Guess that's a good thing" Spike said as they entered their classroom. They took seats next to each other and the teacher came into the room.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Lockley, welcome to world history."

The day ended and Faith went home while Buffy went home with Spike. Giles and Jenny were on a cruise and wouldn't be back until the following week so Buffy and Spike could be alone.

"So, how'd you like your first day?" Buffy asked, sitting on Spike's bed. He shut the door and came over to the bed and crawled over to her.

"I don't really want to talk about school," he said, moving closer to her, pushing her onto the pillows and kissing her.

"Mmm" she moaned, pulling him closer. He moved from her mouth to her neck and she closed her eyes. "Don't stop."

"Don't worry," he told her. "I won't."

Buffy sighed with relaxation as she snuggled into Spike. He smiled at her and held her tighter.

"That gets better every time we do it" she told him.

"Well, we do it enough" he said and she giggled.

"Not getting bored are you?" she asked.

"Definitely not" he said and her cell began to ring. She groaned and reached over him to his nightstand and picked it up and answered it.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Buffy, mom's going into labor. Get down to the hospital" Faith said and she sat up quickly.

"Are you sure?" Buffy asked.

"Yes" Faith said.

"Okay, I'll be there, see ya" Buffy said and hung up the phone and quickly got out of bed.

"What is it, luv?" Spike asked as he too got out of bed. Buffy quickly dressed.

"Uh, my mom's in the hospital. She's having the baby. Can you take me down there?" Buffy asked him.

"Sure" Spike said, getting dressed also.

Buffy and Spike arrived at the hospital and rushed to the labor and delivery floor.

"Joyce Summers?" Buffy asked.

"Room 38A" the receptionist said and Buffy and Spike found the room and entered.

"Hi mom" Buffy said, going over to her mother's side and kissing her on the cheek. "How are you?"

"Oh, all right" Joyce sighed. "Happy, very happy."

"Well, you should be. Your baby's gonna be born today" Buffy said.

"Well, the doctor said I'm only three centimeters dilated so it's gonna take a while" Joyce said.

"It's okay, we can wait" Buffy said as Spike sat down and Buffy crawled into his lap.

A couple hours passed and Joyce has still not gone into labor.

"Mommy, I'm hungry" Dawn said.

"Well, Faith, Buffy, will you take Dawn to the cafeteria to get something to eat? In fact, you should all get something" Joyce said.

"Are you sure?" Buffy asked.

"Yes, go, it's okay" Joyce said.

"But what if you have the baby when we're gone?" Faith asked.

"Honey, I'm only five centimeters dilated, it's gonna be fine, go" Joyce said.

"Okay, we'll be back in a few" Buffy said and she, Spike, Faith and Dawn left the room.

"So baby, what do you want? I'm paying" Spike asked.

"Aw, you don't have to do that" Buffy said.

"No problem, I'm paying for everyone" Spike said.

"Thank you" Buffy said.

After they ate they all went back to the room and there were more doctors and nurses there than there were before.

"What's going on?" Faith asked.

"We need to get her down to the OR, now" one of the doctors said and they began to wheel Joyce out.

"What the hell is going on?" Buffy asked. "Mom?"

"It's gonna be okay honey" Joyce said and they wheeled her out. Faith stopped one of the doctors to find out what had happened.

"Excuse me, what's happening?" she asked.

"Your mother's labor took an unexpected turn. We need to do an emergency C-section" the doctor said and left the room.

"Oh my god" all three girls and Spike said at the same time.
