"I don't know if I can do this," Buffy said nervously pulling her hand away from the door she was about to open.

"It's okay Buffy. It's just a room with people that have the same problem as us." Will assured her. "I will be right beside you the entire time. We have to face our demons sometime it just turns out to be sooner than later."

Buffy kissed him affectionately as they walked inside.

Once the meeting started Buffy got up to speak; "Hi, my name is Buffy and I'm an alcoholic."

"Hello Buffy," the AA room chanted.

"And I'm here with my boyfriend, because we just found out we're pregnant." Buffy finished sitting down.

"You alright Luv?" Will asked afterwards.

"Yeah," Buffy smiled sincerely. "I think everything will be fine."

The next day at her job at the library, Buffy was working the reference desk while trying to figure out which DVDs to add the collection this month when the people who had shattered her life walked in. At first, Buffy hadn't recognized Cordelia, because she'd cut her hair short and dyed it blonde, but the moment Angel's muscular frame had come through the door she had known. Luckily Amy Madison was in the work room and kindly agreed to take over the reference desk while Buffy collapsed in front of her computer in the workroom and cried. When she'd stopped crying she did the one thing she'd promised Will she'd never do again. She found a bottle of Tequila.
