"Now say buh-bye to mommy and daddy." Walsh cooed.
That's when Buffy snapped, deciding she was healed enough. Not even Angel sensed Buffy's changed demeanor.
And that's when all hell broke lose.

Faith, Spike and even Giles' head snapped up as they felt the slayers fury. The commandos lay dead at their feat, they were right outside the holding cell, looking through bullet proof glass at the family and their captors.
"Oh shit." Faith said looking at Buffy.

Buffy shot up from a laying position on the ground in a blink of an eye. Before the soldiers even had time to pull their triggers Buffy was on then. She kicked up one of their automatics, it flew through the air and landed directly in to her hands, she spun around and pulled the trigger once.
A single bullet imbedded into one of the doctor's heads, right between the eyes. She kicked the other gun out of the other soldiers hands then did a back flip, landed behind him and wrapped her leg around his head. Her heel was holding his chin and with a quick movement she snapped his neck letting him fall lifeless to the ground.
Then the gunfire started but angel came behind the remaining two soldiers and picked them up by their necks and threw them against the glass wall, leaving trails of blood as they slid down.
The last soldier grabbed her arms as the last doctor tried to stick her with a needle. She kicked her leg up and slammed his head, he staggered back and she twirled behind him. Grabbing his arm she pushed upward and twisted, hearing a tell tale snap as he screamed out in pain. With a cold expression she kicked in his back and let him fall.
She let Angel take care of the remaining doctor as she glided toward Walsh and her newborn child. Walsh was in a state of panic, she was so scared she couldn't put in the code right.
She quickly spun Walsh around, mindful of her child and carefully took the baby out of her arms. She stared into the baby's light green eyes and mass of dark hair and smiled, then handed her safely to her Angel.
"You know in the past what, thirty minutes, I have learned something: being a mother changes you. This experience has proven to me that mothers will stop at nothing to protect their children." She leaned close to Walsh as Angel turned their child away.
"Say buh-bye Walsh." She said as she snapped her neck.
The body fell to the floor with a grotesque thump. Buffy then turned to her child and her eyes lit up as she finally felt at peace.
"Oh god Angel she's so perfect." she said not even realizing she was counting her tiny toes and fingers and checking her over to see if she was hurt. Angel had taken off his shirt and wrapped her up in it.
Buffy wavered; exhaustion was finally catching up with her.
"Angel, let's get her home. I don't know how long I will last." She said drearily, but then her body tensed as she heard more footsteps coming their way. She heard a crash along the opposite wall.
There sttod Faith and the others with a grin. She smiled but heard more shouts and darted out with them. Child tucked safely in her arms Buffy and Angel followed their friends to freedom.

"Get them!" Graham shouted watching the small group escape and the fallen Walsh got pale.
"Sir, the Watchers have called. They told us to stand down." The soldier told him with a dull and fearful expression.
"Do as they say, lets regroup and cut our losses." Graham said and then turned around hoping those damn British stuck ups would take care of the Bitch and her 'family'.

They entered the mausoleum and Buffy was bombarded with hugs and attention along with congratulations for her child. Willow was in tears, Xander had a goofy grin, Faith was nearly bouncing form the adrenaline, Giles was cleaning his glasses mumbling, Spike was standing in the corner and gave an appreciative nod while Angel would not stop holding her.
"Oh Buffy she has you eye's." Wilow pointed out "And Angels hair. Oh my god she is so beautiful." Willow rambled.
"B, we must have not been training together in a while because if I'm not mistaken I have never seen those moves before. I mean the whole wrapping the leg and the snapping, yeah we're definitely sparring." Faith laughed.
"Well it seems your slayer healing abilities have excelureted, you seem to be in perfect shape not but an hour after you have given birth." Giles pointed out looking perplexed.
"So what are you name the little nib lit?" Spike said speaking up.
That question seemed to quiet the entire Scooby gang, waiting for an answer.
Buffy looked up at Angel, they had never really talked about names, they had always just assumed they had time. Opps.
"Keira Anne O'Connor." Buffy said looking at the small bundle sleeping in her arms, Angel just looked down and nodded in agreement.
She walked toward the door and in front of the group.
"Welcome to the Scooby gang Keira, my beautiful little daught-" She couldn't finish as her face changed sudden to that of contempt to that of pain.
"Angel.." She said holding out Keira as she fell. Angel scooped up his child before she fell. Buffy was on her knees and holding her shoulder. Giles came to her aid while the rest stood in shock.
He looked at Buffy to see a small stain of blood just above her heart. Then he saw the long arrow protruding from her back, he touched and she gasped in pain.
She looked up in a daze, looking like she was about to burst out in tears and then it all went black.
That's when Buffy snapped, deciding she was healed enough. Not even Angel sensed Buffy's changed demeanor.
And that's when all hell broke lose.
