You guys don't have to worry. Nothing bad is gonna happen and for those that did want something to happen, sorry to disappoint. We're almost to the end anyway and the title says it all basically, so no worries. This is the most chapters I've ever done, but I had to end it. I know my ending is probably not the best, but running out of ideas became an issue. There's an epilogue after this and then we're done. Yes, I did skip quite a bit again. I had to get it moving. I hope ya'll like this chapter!
Chapter 32
5 months later...
"Who's the winner now, pillock?" Spike said and Xander glared at him.
"I almost had you. Two out of three?" He replied and Spike nodded.
"You're on, mate." They were both sitting in the Summers house and playing video games while the girls were shopping for last minute baby things. Buffy was upstairs resting. She finally turned 18 a few months ago and she felt better having her baby when she was officially an adult. She suddenly came back downstairs and Spike and Xander didn't even look up from their game.
"Spike?" She said to get his attention and he finally noticed her.
"What is it, sweetheart?" He asked and was concerned at the expression he saw on her face. She took a deep breath before she answered.
"I think it's time, Spike. My water broke." Spike's eyes grew big along with Xander's as they both stood up, their game forgotten.
"Are you sure, love?" She nodded.
"Pretty sure." She said as a pain went through her and she grabbed her stomach as she yelled out.
"Alright, we're gonna get you to the hospital. Xander, grab her bag." He said and Xander nodded as Spike went over to Buffy and put his arms around her. "Let's get you outside, pet." Buffy nodded also as she let Spike help her out of the house.
"I'll drive you guys. We'll call Mrs. Summers on the way and tell them to meet us there." Xander explained as they helped Buffy into the car. They were driving off to the hospital a few seconds later. Everyone else arrived soon after them and were sitting in the waiting room while Spike was in the hospital room with Buffy. Buffy was breathing heavily and Spike was holding her hand.
"Alright, we're almost ready. How are you feeling, Buffy?" Dr. Finn asked her.
"Like I'm about to push a basketball out of me." She stated and he nodded.
"You're about to push sooner than you think. Are you ready?" Buffy nodded also.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Spike grasped her hand tighter.
"You can do this, baby." Buffy looked at him with tears in her eyes as she nodded again.
"It's time, Buffy. Give us a big push." Buffy closed her eyes as she pushed as hard as she could. She let out a scream as the pain took over her body. She stopped and lay back in the bed.
"God, it hurts. I can't do this." She said shakily and Spike kissed her forehead.
"Yes, you can. You're strong, sweetheart. You can do anything." Buffy pushed again with all she had, it took a lot out of her and she was exhausted.
"I can see the baby's head. You're almost there, Buffy. You have to push one more time. Can you do that?" The doctor said and Buffy nodded as she gave one more push. She lay back when she was done and heard the sound of her baby crying. Dr. Finn took the baby and smiled at the couple. "Congratulations, you have a beautiful baby girl." Buffy smiled and Spike had tears in his eyes as he looked at his wife.
"We have a daughter, Buffy." He said and she couldn't stop her tears from falling. They cleaned the baby off and wrapped her in a pink blanket as the doctor placed her in Buffy's arms. Buffy held the baby and gave him a smile.
"Thank you so much, doctor." She said and he smiled at her also.
"Please, call me Riley. Congratulations again, you're going to make great parents." Buffy smiled at the comment.
"Thank you, Riley." He nodded and left the couple with their new baby. Buffy looked down at the tiny baby in her arms. Spike looked at his family with an awe expression on his face. "Spike, she's so beautiful." Buffy said and Spike smiled at her.
"Just like her mum." He replied as he placed a kiss on Buffy's lips. Spike looked at his daughter for a moment and then back at his wife. "What are we going to name her, love? It's your choice." Buffy smiled at him and looked back at the bundle in her arms. She knew of the perfect name as she looked back at her husband.
"How about, Jennifer?" Spike felt touched as he nodded.
"It's perfect, love. How does Jennifer Elizabeth Giles sound?" He asked and Buffy nodded also as she looked back at her daughter.
"It suits her. I'm going to love you forever, Jenny." Buffy whispered and Spike again couldn't believe how lucky he was. The others came in the room later to meet Jenny as they each took turns holding her. Giles was also touched that they chose to name the child after his wife as he held his granddaughter. Cordelia looked at her exhausted friend.
"Tell me the truth, Buffy. How much does it hurt?" Buffy sighed.
"It's the worst pain I've ever felt." Cordelia winced when Buffy then graced her with a smile. "But in the end, it's all worth it." Cordelia returned her smile and felt a little better. Angel put his arm around her and she turned her smile on him. Cordy couldn't wait until she brought her baby into this world. They all left later that night and Spike was the only one left in the room as he watched Buffy sleep. He knew how exhausted she was. Spike held Jenny in his arms as she slept also. He looked at his sleeping child and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"You're daddy's little angel. I'm going to take such good care of you. You and your mother. I love you more than anything." He whispered and looked to see that Buffy was still sleeping peacefully. "My two perfect angels." He said to himself as he turned his attention back on his daughter. Spike let a smile form on his face when he thought about his new family. Yeah, life couldn't get any better than this.
