Chapter 6 Kat Returns. Something is going on in the world. The Scoobies must reunite to stop a new evil arising from the depths. They have help from two unknown strangers.

"Oh, my gosh," says Buffy as she and Robin carry Faith over to a clear area.

"You must make her feel comfortable." Giles goes around and grabs some pillows from a sofa. He hands them to Robin who then puts them beneath Faith for support.

"How do know that?" ask Buffy turning to Giles.

"I've seen it movies." Buffy shrugs and looks at Faith who is in a lot of pain.

"Somebody get some towels quickly," says Buffy as she holds the hand of her sister slayer. (This scene would be a bit gory but I like to keep it bloodless.)

"Faith can you hear me?" Faith nods a little.

"Faith, honey," says Robin who is holding her from behind. "The baby is coming. You're going to have to work with us here. Okay."

"You are a dead man," says Faith really angry cause she is in a lot of pain. "You put this in me you..."

"Faith," says Buffy putting her hand over her mouth. Faith glares at her.

"You're never touching me again!" shouts Faith.

"Okay Buffy we've got everything you need," says Giles as he gets up and walks away from Buffy.

"Giles," Buffy calls to him. "I can't deliver a baby. I need help here. I've never done this before."

"There's a first time for anything Buffy," says Dawn. "As long as Faith is conscious and can push when she needs to, everything will be fine."

"Where are you getting all this?"

"I learn it in school," says Dawn.

"Hey, how come that class wasn't offer in Sunnydale," says Buffy.

"Faith just listen to me, okay," says Dawn. Faith nods her. "Does any one have a watch?" Andrew walks over to Dawn and gives her his watch. "Thanks."

In Africa many people begin to get sick. Xander and Kat head to the nearest town and find the local hospital full of people who all have the same symptoms. They ask what was the cause but the doctors could not figure it out.

"When was the first person emitted?" ask Xander to the doctor.

"Three weeks ago," says the doctor. "It was a small amount. I didn't think we needed to worry, but since the last couple of hours people have been pouring in here."

"The earthquake," says Xander.

"The black plague all over again," says Kat. "Think we should recruit the Scooby gang?"

"Yeah," says Xander as he looks at Kat. "But when this is all over I want to know the reason why you know so much about us?" Kat stays silent for moment.

"Sure," says Kat as she looks towards one of the men on the hospital beds.

Suddenly two people appear out of no where. Xander and Kat turn around and look towards the new visitors as they begin to walk over to them from a cloud.

"Who are you?" ask Xander as his eyes try to focus on the figures coming out of the fog.

"They look familiar," says Kat. Xander looks at Kat then back at the two figures as they come into focus.

"So where's Xander?" ask Tammy to Angel. He looks at Tammy.

"I think he's in Africa," says Angel. Then Gunn comes over to the two with a worried expression. Angel looks at him.

"Angel we've got some problems," says Gunn.

"What else is new?" says Tammy as she rolls her eyes. Angel looks at Tammy and nods his head.

"What is the problem?" ask Angel.

"The earthquake it happen all over the world." Everyone turns to Gunn and pay attention to him. "We've figured out where it started first."

"Where?" ask Angel.

"Africa," says Gunn and Tammy.

"Hey, how do you know?" ask Gunn. Tammy puts her hand on her mouth.

"I guessed," says Tammy. She shrugs then Angel turns to Gunn.

"Harmony we need a plane for Africa right now," says Angel as he walks over to Harmony's desk.

"Right away boss," says Harmony as she picks up the phone.

"Are sure your friend's with Xander?" ask Angel turning to Tammy.

"Pretty sure," says Tammy. "Hey, how do know where he is?"

"E-mail," replies Angel as he begins to walk towards the elevator. Tammy follows him and so does the rest of the crew.

"Hey, where's everyone going?" ask Lorne as he comes walking over to the elevators.

"To save the world Lo...um want to come," says Tammy with a smile.

They all walk through the parking lot like the mob squad and meet up with Spike. He was sitting in one Angel's favorite cars.

"Hey peaches," says Spike hopping out of the car. "Going somewhere?"

"Yeah Spike," says Angel. "We need to head to Africa fast."

"I've got an idea," says Spike. "Maybe the witch can do some mojo and create a door for us." Tammy glares at Spike.

"Don't make me turn you into a toad," says Tammy. "Hocus pocus, abracadabra, turn this vampire into locust." Tammy raises her hands up and points them at Spike.

"No, don't turn me into a..." Spike covers his head with his hands and hides behind Angel. Then Angel looks at Tammy and sees nothing happening. Angel moves out of the way and Spike has his eyes close. Angel and Tammy start to laugh hysterically. The rest of the gang laugh at the frighten Spike.

"What? Did I miss something here?" says Spike.

"Spike I can't believe you fell for it," says Angel with a smile on his face.

"You're not a witch are you?" says Spike as looks at Tammy with an evil expression. He walks up Tammy but Angel pulls him away.

"Come on Angel let me kill her," says Spike. Tammy returns his evil smile back. Spike glares at Angel then back at Tammy. "I will not be made a fool by some little girl."

"Excuse me Billy Idol," says Tammy. " I'm 20 years old. Little girl my ass." Tammy crosses her arms over her chest. Spike vamps up and Angel stops him. Tammy backs up.

"What do think you're doing Spike?"

"I've had it with this girl," says Spike. "And for your information Billy Idol stole his look from me, pet." Tammy rolls her eyes.

"Guy's can we deal with this later," says Wesley. Angel sighs and goes to Tammy side.

"Hey, wait a minute I may have an idea." They all turn to Wesley. "A spell. For transportation. It's rather simple. Fred and I could pull it off."

"Alright," says Angel. "Make it happen. Spike don't touch my cars." Spike's finger was about to touch one of the cars and he looks at Angel.

Faith starts to breathe heavily as sweat drops from her forehead. Dawn is next to Faith holding her hand and timing her contractions.

"They're getting longer and closer," says Dawn. "Faith is time to push this time." Faith nods.

"Oh gee there's a lot blood here," says Buffy. Giles give Buffy a towel.

"Get ready for some more Buffy," says Dawn. "You're a slayer Buffy. You've seen tons of blood everyday. What's the difference?"

"Dawn just tell me what to do?" says Buffy in an angry tone.

"Okay," says Dawn. "Buffy you're the pitcher. Just catch the baby."

"Very funny Dawn." Faith begins to push as she grabs onto Robin's hands. She begins to scream in agony as tears came running down her cheeks. "Come on Faith you can do this. Push." The pain was intense and Faith nods her head.

"I can't Buffy," says Faith breathing hard. "I can't. It hurts. It hurts too much."

"Faith honey you're almost there," says Robin in a soothing voice. "Come on sweetie you can do this." Faith nods her head. She then begins to push. Giles is at Faith's side wiping away some sweat from her forehead. She looks up at him then next to him she sees someone else.

"Joyce," says Faith.

"What did you say Faith?" ask Buffy.

"Buffy I think she's a little delusional," says Giles. Joyce is standing right before Faith very eyes. She touches Giles' shoulder, which he somehow feels it but it's more like her presence than her touch.

"Faith you have push now," says Joyce in voice that echoed. "Everything is going to be fine. Your daughter is coming." Faith nods her head and pulls all her strengths to push.

"Come one Faith I can see a head," says Buffy. "Push." Faith pushes once more with a loud scream. A moment of silence comes then a cry of a baby is heard.

"You did it," says Robin. "That's my girl." Robin squeezes her hand and they look at the baby that Buffy is holding.

"It's a girl," says Buffy as she cradles her in her arm. "She's so beautiful Faith." Buffy wraps her in a couple of towels and hands her over to Faith.

"Buffy you were incredible," says Giles patting Buffy on the back.

"Nah Giles," says Buffy. "Faith is. She brought life."

"What are you going to name her?" ask Dawn. Faith and Robin look at her.

"Why don't you come up with a name," says Faith.

"Me," says Dawn. Faith nods her head. "How about Alexia? I always liked that name."

"Alexia it is," says Robin. "Alexia Wood."

"Sounds good," says Faith as she kisses Robin on lips.

"Xander something bad is coming," says Willow. She and Kennedy come out of the cloud of smoke at the hospital.

"Willow," says Xander. They hug. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, we are but this earthquake..."

"It's a bad omen," says Kat. Willow looks at Kat. She nods her head.

"Yeah," says Willow. "You must be Kat. Hi, I'm Will..."

"I know who you are," says Kat. "The both of you. Almost saved the world with you guys."

"Right," says Willow. "Well I'm responsible for bringing you here. I kind feel bad now cause of all the badness."

"It's alright Willow," says Kat. "It's not like the first evil is still alive. I really hope not."
