A/N Okay so this is the last chapter and I have to warn you that some of it maybe quite disturbing, but I felt the need to keep the general plot of the movie intact. Even a Romantic Comedy can have its darker side.

"Surprise," Angel grabbed Buffy as she walked through the door from work. "I came home early."
"Angel," Buffy kissed him. "I missed you."
"Now, I want to hear about everything that happened while I was gone." Angel pulled Buffy over to the couch where she sat on his lap.
"Well two things actually," Buffy smiled at him. "The small thing is I have an interview tonight for a real job. It's only a secretarial position, but I'll have a chance to work my way up and." Angel's phone rang.
"Sorry," Angel apologized and answered the phone.
"Angel, I need you to come over tonight. I have to tell you something." Darla snapped into the phone.
As Angel hung up the phone he got up off the couch almost dumping Buffy on the floor.
"Angel, What is it?" Buffy asked concerned.
"Nothing, I have an appointment tonight as well. So, what is the other thing?"
Buffy looked at his distracted face and knew that this was not the right time. "I have to start getting ready for the interview, but if everything goes okay tonight I can tell you the other thing when we celebrate my new job. I love you."
"I love you too," Angel kissed her before she headed into the bathroom to shower.

Willow jumped when she heard a knock at the door. She knew that Buffy was terribly upset about Spike, because she'd called, but she had hoped Buffy would be home by now. "Buffy, it's about time." She opened the door to see Spike. "Spike, I have nothing to say to you. Leave Buffy the hell alone."
Spike in total surprise by the reaction of the sweet red head that was Buffy's best friend gasped. "What's going on? I was late getting to the bar tonight and the bartender said that Buffy had left."
"She saw you with your wife at the hospital," Willow yelled at him before she slammed the door in his face.
"Bollocks," Spike vented before running off to find Buffy.

"It's not possible," Angel stared at the pregnancy test Darla had handed him. "We were always so careful."
"Well careful or not, we are going to have a baby," Darla stated before running to the bathroom.
When the doorbell rang a few seconds later, Angel answered it and was surprised to see Buffy on the other side of the door. Darla came out of the bathroom and smiled weakly, "Ah, Ms. Summers you are right on time, but unfortunately I have to reschedule because I'm trying to decide whether or not I am going to keep your boyfriend's baby.

The rain was pouring and Spike was soaked before he got to the cliff. He just knew Buffy had to be there. She just had to be. "Buffy," he called out to the female shadow in front of him and was rewarded by the shadow jumping from her seat in the grass and running. "Please Luv, let me explain."
Buffy turned around soaking wet to face him, "There is nothing to explain. I can't believe after everything that happened with Angel I was actually stupid enough to trust you. I thought you were different. You are just like him."
"Buffy, that woman you saw today is my ex-wife. We never had the heart to tell my mother that we divorced and when my mom got sick Dru volunteered to help. Drusilla's always been the daughter my mother never had. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her, but I told her about you and she and her new husband are happy for us. I love you."

Buffy couldn't speak and the only thing that was coming to her mind was the over welling urge to run. So she ran as fast as she could out of the apartment and down the stairs. Angel called out to her and she was so distracted that she lost her footing and fell down the last two flights of stairs and laid there unconscious.

Buffy and Spike slowly walk back to Willow's Apartment hand in hand. They both knew that they were going to have deal with what had happened tonight, but for right now they were content just being together again. All the fighting, all the anger, it could wait until tomorrow. "I better call Willow to let her know I'm okay and coming back." Buffy sighed as she spotted a payphone. "I'll be right back." She turned around half way across the street. "I'm glad we made up tonight." She was so distracted by his smile that she didn't even notice the truck barreling down the road until it hit her.

At the hospital, Angel was nervously pacing. This was all his fault. Buffy would never be here if it wasn't for him. He should never have slept with Darla. In the middle of his grief stricken internal rant a doctor came up to him, "Are you with Ms. Summers?"
"Yes, I'm her boyfriend."
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but Ms. Summers has lost the baby."
&&&
At the hospital, Spike was running with the paramedics until they stopped him at the door to the operating room. "She's in critical condition, if you want us to save her life you are going to have to wait out here."
After what felt like an eternity one of the surgeons came out, "Are you with Ms. Summers?"
"Yes, I'm her boyfriend."
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but She lost the baby and is still in pretty bad shape herself. I'm not sure she is going to make it if she has internal injuries, but we are putting her in the recovery room now if you'd like to see her. She's still unconscious."
"Thank you doctor," Spike ran to the recovery room where he collapsed into the chair next to Buffy. "Hey Luv, the doctor says you're going to be fine." He lied. "I'm sorry you lost the baby, but we are going to have plenty of time together to create a whole big beautiful family. I never told you this, but I am so glad that you were on the subway that day. You changed my life Luv and I will always love you."
Just then the machine monitoring Buffy's heart flat-lined and Spike collapsed into tears.

Buffy woke up in her hospital room to see Angel staring down at her. "Hey sweetie, if there's anything I can do for you. Anything at all."
"Anything," Buffy whispered weakly.
"Anything," Angel assured her.
"I want you to walk out that door and never come near me again," She stated before she turned over and fell back asleep.
Angel quietly left the hospital.
A day later Buffy is leaving her hospital room to go to stay with Willow and Tara when she misses the elevator by seconds. When the next elevator arrives only one man, who had been upstairs visiting his mother, was in the elevator as she entered.
"Are you okay Luv," Spike asks worriedly to the woman entering the elevator.
"I'm fine," Buffy assured him. "No one expects the Spanish inquisition."
They look at each other in a sense of déjà vu as the elevator door closes.
