Chapter 9

Down in the science lab:

Fred straightened up the lab a bit. The ordeal with Buffy had caused mass chaos as scientists rushed to find what was wrong with the Slayer.

Though Fred herself would be handling Buffy's case, help was always of the necessity.

So far all that they had uncovered was that Buffy was dying. Her innards were going first and it seemed that it would spread through out her body. Killing the inside before the outside.

The blood sample that they had taken from Buffy hadn't changed much all morning it still bubbled and popped as thought it was being heated over a flame.

I should check on the blood again. I don't remember asking any of the others to check on it. I hope there's been some change for the better.

Fred moved the sample from its place in the test tube holder and put in under her microscope, "Oh god."

She stepped back from the microscope, horrified at what she had just seen, she ran to the phone hanging near the door of the lab and dialed Angel's room number. " You need to get down here now, its getting worse!"


Spike's head jolted up when he heard the gurgling sound coming from inside his slayer. The look on her face told him that something was wrong, "Luv?"

'It's happening again." Buffy gasped for breath, as the pain overtook her again

Spike stood over her, "Buffy, you have to fight it. Your stronger than this thing whatever it is. Beat it!"

Buffy screamed as she felt something shift inside of her, "Spike!"

"Buffy, Luv you can't die, not now. Not when we're together again. I'll stake myself if you die. I won't loose you again!"

" No, you have to raise William," She managed through the pain, "You have to raise your son." Buffy was panting for breath.

Spike starred at her in shock, " My- my what?"

"Your son." Angel said in a sad voice as Buffy passed out again.
