A/N

I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who caught my error concerning the color of William's eyes. Sorry about that, I forgot that I mentioned their color already. At first I had wanted them to be Blue and then recently I liked the idea of Green better. I have decided to settle on Green but will not be making any corrections to the Chapter where it said Blue, mainly because I don't remember what chapter it was but also because I would have to change that paragraph or sentence that it was mentioned in.

Anyways, William's eyes are green, not blue like I had originally decided. Sorry once again for the mistake and thank you to the readers who mentioned the problem to me.

OH and by the way the next few chapters might be a little short, but longer ones will be coming, Its just that I've reached a point in the story where I have no idea what to do next, I need to get Buffy past the child like stuff and get her talking and understanding. And then I have a bunch of other stuff for her to get through but mostly once she can communicate with the others so just have patience with me right now. And please continue to review and let me know your thoughts.

Chapter 16

Down in the science lab of Wolfam and Hart, Angel, Spike, Giles, Wesley, and Fred stood in front of a glass window.

On the other side of the window, now wearing a hospital gown, Buffy sniffed at her surrounding, all of which included a cot with white sheets and a pillow. Picking up the Pillow, Buffy ripped it in half and laughed as the stuffing floated to the ground around her.

Fred smiled at Buffy's actions and turned to the men next to her," As I said, after we got her cleaned up, we ran a few tests and she is perfectly healthy, She can't speak right now, and she doesn't understand a lot of things, she is like a new born child. As for the Strength still being intact, I have no clue."

"Is that her new bedroom?" asked Spike

"I just want to keep her down here for observation, something could still show up."

Spike turned away from the window and looked at Fred, "Can I go inside?"

Fred took the keys out of her pocket and handed them to Spike, "Here, just be careful."

Spike nodded and took off down the hallway; he stopped in front of the door to Buffy's room. As soon as he entered the room, she pounced on him, laughing and hugging him.

"I take it you missed me then?" He said as he lead her towards the cot, "The good doctor cleaned you up nicely, gonna have to get you some decent clothes soon, can't 'ave you running about in the nude."

Buffy jumped on the cot and pulled him down next to her and hugged him.

Spike smiled and wrapped his arms around the girl, he listened to the rhythm of her heart beat and her breathing until it slowed down. He let his head rest again the wall behind them and shifted so that Buffy's head was resting in his lap.

When He was sure that she was sleeping, he allowed his own eyes to close and soon fell asleep.
