"Xander," says Faith. Xander is next to her leading the group with the routine. "What girl is danger of the wrath of Xander?"
"Faith," says Xander. "How do you know I'm looking for a girl?"
"Ah, Xander all girls," says Faith.
"Oh yeah," says Xander. "Small blonde at the back."
"She's pretty," says Faith. "So what are you going to do?" Faith gives Xander a smile.
"Don't know," replies Xander. "We had a not so pleasant first meeting."
"What you do flash her?" ask Faith. Xander looks at Faith and nods his head. "Oh." She begins to laugh.
"I think she has a boyfriend," says Xander.
"Isn't that a shame," says Faith with a grin. "Alright lets do couples."
"What are you doing Faith?"
"Spike come over here," says Faith. "Alright I need a volunteer." All the girls raise their hands except for Buffy. Faith smiles at Xander and pulls him over.
"How about you," says Faith to Buffy.
"Me," says Buffy. "I'm really not..." Faith walks over to her and drags her over to the front.
"Okay, Xander," says Faith as she pushes him close to Buffy.
"I'm so going to..." mumbles Xander.
"Xander put your hand here," says Faith with a smile. Xander looks at Buffy who is feeling a little uncomfortable. "What's your name?"
"Buffy," she replies.
"Okay you put your hands up here," says Faith. Buffy's hands rest on Xander's neck. Faith goes up to Xander and whispers. "Go ride her cowboy." Xander's head turns to look at Faith who has a big grin on her face.
"Alright check this out," says Faith as she grabs Spike then signals Oz to put the music on. She begins to dance with Spike and Buffy and Xander follow them.
"I'm really sorry about this," says Xander. "There's a job opening for a female choreographer. You interested." Faith glares at Xander. Buffy laughs and Xander is mesmerized by her smile.
"I don't think I'm ready to take on that job yet," says Buffy. "But if I change my mind would I get to boss you around." Xander laughs.
"Yeah," says Xander. "What would you tell me to do first? If it's something about taking my clothes off then I'm going to have to say no for that." Buffy cracks up and everyone looks at her. Xander then starts to laugh with her. "Sorry. Faith keep going." Xander and Buffy head over to a bench and sit down.

They finish up for the day and Xander and Buffy were really not dancing the whole day. They were just talking about stuff. They had a lot of things in common and Xander almost forgot that Buffy was taken.
"Riley," says Buffy when Riley comes into the studio. She gets up and walks over to him.
"Buffy, are you ready to go home?"
"Yeah, um Riley this is Xander my boss," says Buffy introducing the two. Riley shook Xander's hand and got a tight grip on it. Xander realize that and pulled away instantly. "Um, Xander this is my brother Riley."
"Uh, brother," says Xander. He is happy to know that this guy was her brother and not her boyfriend, but he is still a little intimidated by the guy. Buffy looks at Xander and she notices that Riley intimidated him.
"Well, I'll see ya tomorrow," says Buffy. "I promise I won't be late the next time." She gives Xander a smile then grabs her bag and head for the door. Riley follows her out.
"Smooth," says Spike with a smile. Xander laughs as Spike passes by with Faith on his arm. "See ya tomorrow mate."
"Yeah, goodnight," says Xander. Xander walks over to Willow who was sitting on the bench she'd been sitting on for the whole day. She was breathing heavily and had gone through ten bottles of water. "Hey Will, where's Oz?"
"Xander...ouch," says Willow. Xander's eyes grew big and he ran over to Willow's side.
"Willow are you okay?" ask Xander. "Oz!" He calls for his friend but he doesn't answer.
"He went to get me something to eat...ouch," says Willow holding her belly.
"Ah, we gotta get you to a hospital Will," says Xander as he tries to get her up.
"Sorry, I forgot my towel..." Buffy says as she renters the studio seeing Xander help Willow who is in a lot of pain. "What's going on?"
"I think she's going to have the baby," says Xander as he leads Willow to the door. Buffy follows Xander out of the studio.
"Buffy...hey what's going on?" ask Riley. Willow screams in pain.
"Will what's wrong?" ask Xander.
"I think my water broke," says Willow. Xander heads to his car and sees that it has been block by two other cars.
"Dame it," says Xander. He looks at Buffy and Riley. Buffy quickly reads his mind.
"We'll take you," says Buffy. "Riley give me the keys."
"Buffy I'm not letting you drive my car," says Riley.
"I'll drive." Xander opens the back door of the car and helps Willow inside. Buffy gets in with Willow in the back.
"Look I need you to do me a favor," says Xander. "My friend is going to come here. A guy with orange hair. Tell him his wife is having the baby at the hospital."
"Okay," replies Riley. Xander heads over to the drivers seat and drives off.
"Breathe Willow breath," says Xander. "The breathing exercises remember." Willow begins to do them as Buffy holds her hand.

"Are you Oz?" ask Riley.
"Yeah," he replies. "Where's ..."
"Look your wife is in the hospital. She's having a baby," says Riley. Oz drops what he was carrying on the floor.
"Oh my gosh," says Oz starting to panic. He begins to breathe. "I gotta go."
"Here I'll drive you," says Riley. The two get in his car and head towards the hospital.

At the hospital the doctors are getting Willow ready for the birth. Xander is talking to doctors. "She's going to be alright," ask Xander.
"Of course," says one of the doctors. "Are you the father of the baby?"
"No, but he'll be here any minute." Xander hears Willow scream out his name. "Willow."
He runs into the room and goes to her side.
"Where is Oz?" ask Willow. "Is he here?"
"He's coming," says Xander. "I'm sure of it." Xander grabs her hand and she tightens her grip on his hand. He starts to feel the pain.
"Move out of the way," says Oz running through the hallway. "Coming through." Oz finds his way to Willow's room.
"Ouch," says Xander. He looks straight ahead and sees Oz. "Look see there he is." Oz helps pry Willow's grip from Xander hands. "Thanks."
"Thanks you man," says Oz. "For getting her here."
"No prob," says Xander as he walks out of the room.
"Are you father?" ask a doctor.
"Yeah," says Oz. "Honey I'm here." He grabs her hand and she squeezes it tight.

"Thanks Riley," says Buffy. She looks towards the room that Willow is in and sees Xander walking down the hall. "I'll be right back Riley."
"Buffy we need to go," says Riley. "Dad and mom are going to wonder."
"Just give me a minute," says Buffy as she walks after Xander.
Xander had stop at a bending machine for some coffee. He sticks a couple of quarters in and then from the corner of his eyes he sees Buffy.
"Hey," says Xander as he turns to look at her. "You want some coffee?"
"No thanks," says Buffy. "How's Willow?"
"Screaming for drugs," says Xander as he gets his coffee and walks over to Buffy.
"Right," says Buffy. "Xander."
"What," says Xander turning to her.
"Does my brother intimidate you?" ask Buffy.
"Me," says Xander. "No." He drinks his coffee really fast and burns his tongue. Xander smiles. Buffy looks at him and smiles.
"I gotta go," says Buffy as she walks over to Xander and kisses him on the cheek. Xander becomes surprise by this. "See you tomorrow." Buffy walks away.
