OK so really short but hey, things really should start picking up now, please R and R.

Buffy's eyelids flickered open and she looked up, barely remembering what had happened.

"Will," she said hoaresly.

"Hey Buffy," Willow said trying to be chirpy, "You're awake. That's good."

"Number 1 why am I here and 2 why does God hate me so much he has to put me in a hospital?" Buffy said attempting to make a small joke, considering how much she hated these places.

Willow smiled, "You fainted." She turned from smiley and chirpy to worried, "We're not sure why. The doctors are finding out."

As soon as she'd said that, a doctor came to Buffy's bed, "Buffy Summers?"

Buffy nodded and the doctor looked at Willow, "Can we have a few moments please?"

Willow nodded and walked outside to meet Giles, Xander and Dawn, "The doctor wanted to talk to her, she just woke up."

They all gave a sigh of relief, at least they knew she was semi-OK. They sat waiting on news of something, all thinking the same thing:

The last time they were all here was for Joyce. She was no longer around.

Dawn started crying, she'd lost a mum, went through the whole 'not being real' period of her life and now something was wrong with her sister than noone had any idea about.

Willow walked over to her, "Hey Dawnie, don't cry it'll be OK, ssh," she put her arm around her to comfort her, praying that they'd hear something soon and that that something would be good.

"I'm what!" Buffy said, feeling like she was going to faint again.

The doctor smiled, "You're pregnant."

After a long pause, all Buffy could say was, "How?" very faintly, so faint the doctor didn't hear but continued with what he was saying.

"Congratulations your going to be a mother."

Buffy was silent. How could this have happened? Well she knew how it could have happened but how was it possible? Spike was a vampire. She supressed the tears she felt bubbling at the thought of Spike, she put on a brave face for the doctor, she'd had years experience of it after all.

"H-How long pregnant?" Buffy asked.

"We suspect around 3 weeks," the doctor replied, smiling.

"So when can I leave?" Buffy asked, wanting out of this place.

The doctor smiled, "You're desperate and you can leave now, everything's fine, just usual for sickness and dizzyness."

Buffy smiled, getting up out of bed, feeling less dizzy, At least that's a start, she thought.

She went to the hospital bathroom to get changed out of the horrid hospital gear.. she wanted to go home. Not like that's happening since it's gone, Buffy thought sadly. But she wanted out of here, back to the B n B.

After discharging herself she walked out to the waiting area where she suspected her friends would be and sure enough there they were.

"Buffy!" Dawn ran up to her, "Are you OK? What happened? Where you going?"

Buffy smiled, she had to be brave, for Dawn.

"I'm fine, it was just something stupid to do with me not having enough food in the system," Buffy lied, "And I'm going back to the B n B with you guys because hospitals suck and the doc says I could."

"Just like that?" Dawn asked.

"Just like that." Buffy smiled.

"Neat!"

Buffy laughed, putting her arm around her sister, "Sorry to scare you guys, can we go now this place is really freaky."

Giles laughed, putting a hand on her shoulder, "Glad you're OK."

The 5 of them left, Buffy's thoughts ran on yet she tried to put them out of her head, knowing that when she thought about it properly she would breakdown.
