"I think Summer's upset about the twins." Buffy sighed as she walked into their bedroom.
"What makes you think that Luv?" Spike asked looking up from the book he was writing on his laptop.
"Oh the picture she drew I just found under her bed that shows the three of us with the words 'My REAL Family.' Real was underlined three times."
"It could mean she doesn't like Red and the Whelp." Spike suggested.
"I'm serious Spike, Spock and all the other Psychologists agree that only children expecting a younger sibling will lash out and form sibling rivalry with the new baby unless shown that they are equally as important as their new sibling. I also know from personal experience that I was not Dawn's biggest fan when she came home from the hospital with mom. I hated the idea of sharing mom and dad. I wanted them all to myself/"
"And Summer already has to share us with the rest of the world." Spike added. "Okay so we give Summer some extra attention before and after the babies come to prove that we're still going to love her no matter how many brothers or sisters she has,"
"I just want her to be okay with the new babies." Buffy started to cry. "Sorry hormones are starting to kick in."
"It's okay" Spike smiled as he put down the laptop and held her until she stopped crying.
"I just want everything to be okay," She sobbed.
"It will, Luv, it will" Spike assured her.

"Nothing will be okay again." Summer ranted at Mr. Hippo who she had retrieved from the nursery. "The babies will ruin everything. I wish that mommy and daddy could be at two places at once so then I'd always have someone."
"Wish granted." Halfrek laughed from below Summer's open window.
