Chapter 43

.

Dr Benjamin Wilkinson had become the unnoficial medic for Buffy's team. He explained that, living in Sunnydale, he had learned certain things. Particularly that Buffy was a slayer, and so he'd offerred his services to them when they were wounded. When vampire Harmony wounded Anya, when Riley's heart began acting eratic due to Maggie Walsh's experiments, in addition to Being Bianca's regular doctor. In mid-December. Ben examined Bianca with her sister Kendall by her side. Thus far, as Bianca entered her 3rd tri-mester, mother and baby were doing great. In less than three months Bianca would give birth to a healthy baby girl. It felt good, helping to bring a child into this world. Ben feared he would never know what it was like to become a parent. Ben's "sister" would likely prevent that from ever happenning. As it was, he felt a certain kinship with Kendall. Both were created under unusual circimstances, neither of them exactly had a choice in the matter. Due to events beyond their control, they were hated, expendable, considered maybe even evil. Perhaps Kendall would understand, if Ben could somehow tell her the truth. Then again, maybe Kendall would kill Ben. If she thought there was a chance that Ben's little "family" was a threat to Bianca or her baby, she would. Ben knew that Bianca's baby was also created by an evil act, and was viewed as an expendable sacrifice by the Delta Zetta Kappa fraternity. But this baby had something neither Ben nor Kendall had ever had, a loving mother bear who would do anything to keep it safe.
