Flashback
"I'm the Slayer - one and only...in Sunndale anyway." She remembered Faith. "It's my job to rid the world of evil!" she said with an upbeat tone. The gang gave her various 'looks'. Her favorite was Xander's. He had become so protective of her. "Guys, I can't just stop saving people's lives because I happened to make a few bad choices."
"Wait...I thought this was just a little walk? Now you want to save people's lives? Are you crazy?" Xander iterrogated.
"On account of wanting to save lives, I declare myself certifiably insane!" Buffy said sarcastically.
"Yes, in your condition, you're absolutely quite right." Giles reprimanded.
End Flashback
Each time she had to try harder to convince them that a little walk was nothing more than that: a little walk. But, the more she visited Spike, the less she, herself, believed it. Before all this had happened, she had despised him. Now she feared she might actually have feelings for this vampire. The baby she was carrying made it even more complicated. She was 8 months along now and she was huge no doubt. She managed to remind him of that every time. However, he always responded with the same answer. "You're still beautiful, luv." Everytime he whispered it in her ear, she secretly melted inside.
This visit started out no different.
"Look at me! I'm a whale!" she complained.
"You're right. You are gettin' a bit big."
"Hey! What happened to 'You're still beautiful'? she pouted.
"That was when I could still fit my arms around you." he joked.
"I'm not laughing! Do you see me laughing?" Buffy said with a little bit of humor.
"No...you're not laughing." he said with a grin. He wanted to kiss her. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer.
"Spike? Spike, something's wrong..." she put her hand on her abdomen and winced in pain.
"What? Is it the..." she interupted his sentence with a little scream.
"Come on, luv. We're going to the hospital!" he told her. He was really starting to get worried. His Slayer in pain?
Luckily it was dark and Spike was able to drive her in a car he'd stolen. She couldn't very well ride on his motorcycle in this condition. Sure, she could've called Willow or Giles, but she didn't want to. Too many questions. She just kept thinking of her baby. She didn't know the sex, so she couldn't concentrate on picking a name. Instead, she thought of the first time she had seen the ultrasound. It had been so tiny. Now, she feared her baby would still be tiny, too tiny. It was too early.
I might not have a 7th chapter up for a week maybe, but i'll try my hardest!
