chapter 13
When they got there Buffy was sleeping. "I'll leave you two alone. The others are probably here anyway so I'll go tell them what happened." Willow said and Spike nodded. Spike made his way over to Buffy and sat down next to her taking her hand which caused her to wake up. When Buffy saw Spike she started crying again. "Oh Spike." Buffy cried. Spike was up and had her in his arms in seconds. "It's alright luv. I'm here and it'll be alright." Spike said and Buffy just looked at him. "I lost the baby." Buffy said and Spike nodded. "I know luv." Spike said then kissed Buffy on the top of her head. "I'm sorry Spike I know how excited you were about being a father." Buffy said and Spike just looked at her. "I was but it's not your fault luv. I'm just glad that you're alright." Spike said looking at her. "I love you." Buffy said just as the scoobies walked in. "I love you too pet nothing will change that." Spike said not noticing that they were being watched. "Knock knock." Willow said getting the couples attention. "Oh hey guys." Buffy said turning to look at the group. "Hey Buff how you feelin?" Xander asked and Buffy just shrugged. "A little better." Buffy said laying her head on Spike's shoulder. "Well we'll let you get some sleep and see you later." Giles said ushering everyone out the door. "Thanks Giles." Buffy said closing her eyes but not letting go of Spike. Buffy and Spike fell asleep in each other's arms and stayed like that until a nurse came in a few hours later. "Sorry didn't mean to wake you but Ms. Summers can go home now she just needs to take it easy for about a week." The nurse said and Buffy and Spike nodded. "Minimal action nothing to strenuous and no heavy lifting for at least twenty four hours." The nurse said and Buffy nodded. The nurse smiled at the couple then turned and left. "So I guess if you still want to move in with me you wont actually be moving anything." Spike said with a smile. "You still want me to move in with you?" Buffy asked and Spike just looked at her. "Of course I do luv. I want to be with you no matter what, but if you don't want to you don't have to." Spike said and Buffy smiled. "Of course I still do. I just didn't know if you wanted me to after." Buffy let the end of the sentence fall off. "It's not your fault that it happened. These things just happen. But it's not going to change how I feel about you. I love you Buffy." Spike said and Buffy looked at him trying not to cry. Spike smiled at her and kissed her before helping her up and helping her get dressed.
They walked out of the hospital hand in hand. "You are so much different then I first thought you were." Buffy said after a few minutes. "You're like nobody else I've ever met." Buffy said and Spike just looked at her. "Well I told you I was different from the beginning." Spike said and Buffy smiled. "I know but when I first met you you were trying to kill me." Buffy said and Spike just smirked. "Well it was mutual but I knew I would never kill you." Spike said and Buffy just looked at him. "Whys that?" Buffy asked and Spike just smiled at her. "Because you can't kill someone you have a crush on." Spike said and Buffy just stared at him then threw him off by saying. "So I guess now you know why I could never kill you." "Well isn't this interesting." A vampire said walking up behind Buffy and Spike. "What's that?" Buffy asked innocently. "A snack just walking along. You would think that you people would be smart enough not to but no here you are." The vampire said and Spike just smirked at him. "No we know how to protect ourselves." Spike said and then with one motion dusted the vampire then turned back to Buffy and continued walking. Buffy just smiled at him.
