Chapter Seven

Sophia looked over her friend at the hospital. She was worried sick that Buffy wasn't going to wake up. She now realized why Buffy had walked away from the job when she found out she was pregnant. This job was so dangerous. She would've done the same. Then she felt her hand being squeezed. She looked down hoping what she felt was real.

"If you can hear me Buffy squeeze my hand," Sophia said.

Sophia waited a second. Then she felt Buffy squeeze her hand. Then she saw her eyes flutter open.

"How are you feeling?" Sophia asked.

"Alex?" Buffy asked.

"He's fine sweetie."

Buffy sighed in relief.

"Where is he?"

"Social services thought it would be best for him to stay with his grandmother."

Buffy gasped.

"My mother?"

Sophia nodded. She knew that that was the last place Buffy wanted Alex to be. She even knew why. She just hoped Buffy wouldn't overreact.

"I have to see him."

Buffy jumped out of bed and put on the fresh clothes that Sophia had brought. She turned to look at Sophia.

"I want out of this hospital now," Buffy demanded.

"I'll see what I can do."

Sophia left to see if she could get them to discharge Buffy and within two hours Buffy was discharged. They had all the medicine she would need to take and were in Sophia's new rental outside Buffy's old home.

"Are you sure you want to go in?" Sophia asked.

"I'm just going in to get Alex."

Buffy got out of the car and Sophia went to get out to.

"You stay in the car. I may need a fast exit."

Sophia nodded and got back into the car. Buffy turned and walked up the walkway. She was so nervous. She hadn't been to that house in seven years. Her heart was racing very fast. So fast she thought it would explode. She rung the door bell and Xander answered the door.

"God. Buff. You gave us all a scare," Xander cried.

"Sorry Xand," Buffy smiled weakly, "I've come to pick up Alex."

"Come on in."

Buffy followed Xander into the kitchen.

"Want anything?" Xander asked.

Buffy shook her head. She just wanted Alex so she could leave Sunny Dale forever. Xander called for Alex to come into the kitchen. Spike walked into the kitchen with Alex on his shoulders. Buffy stood up straight.

"What's he doing here?" Buffy demanded.

"Relax Love. I'm good. I told you remember."

"Mommy," Alex shrieked making it impossible for anyone to hear what Spike had said.

Alex dove off Spike and ran over to Buffy. Buffy enclosed her son into a giant hug not caring that an explosion of pain erupted in her stomach.

"It's so good to see you honey," Buffy whispered.

Alex and Buffy were both teary eyed.

"I missed you so much mommy," Alex cried.

"Missed you to baby. But mommy's here now," Buffy soothed her crying son.

Alex nodded into her head. He lifted his head off her shoulder and smiled broadly.

"I love you mommy."

"Love you too."

Alex got up and went over to Spike.

"Spike was helping me make some clay statues of dinosaurs," Alex explained, "Wanna see."

Buffy nodded her head and smiled.

"Of course sweetie."

Alex ran from the room to get them. Buffy turned to look at Spike and Xander.

"I should get going after he comes back."

"Buffy?"

Buffy turned around hoping that it wasn't who she thought it was. But she never got what she wanted. Standing there was her mother.

"Mom?"

A/N: Now that the chapter is over I'm having a contest. Can anyone guess what's going to happen?
