As the hours ticked by Trinity continued to wander around the firm looking around as Spike glanced around the offices again before finding out security was detaining Angel outside.
"What the hell do you mean we can't come inside? I run the frigging building!" Angel hollered, the baby in the crook of his arm starting to scream loudly which was strange since she was such a good baby.
Back inside Spike banged his head against the wall, "You bloody idiots! I didn't mean don't let Angel in!"
The guards stared at him blankly for a minute before shrugging at each other and moving aside, "You said no one in or out."
Again the blond bashed his head, "He's a lot of things, but I highly doubt he's skilled enough to go out with a newborn and be here to double stake his wife! Surrounded by idiots!"
Angel patted Serenity gently to try and ease her cries as he pushed past the guards, "Time for better security I think," he muttered, loud enough to be heard by the two at the door as he headed to his office where Spike was still pacing, running his fingers through his hair and murmuring under his breath. There'd been two more attacks in the past hour.
Down in the infirmary Selene began to jerk and shake on her bed. Fred had been keeping a careful eye on the woman and was at her side when the convulsion started. She frowned heavily, unsure of what to really do for her since the blood didn't seem to be doing to much. With a sigh she said a quiet prayer over her, finding it at least calmed her own soul. Slowly the ancient went still again, her face slack and her skin whiter than ever before.
Back in the apartment Mana was getting tired of sitting around on her ass alone and not knowing what was going on. She grabbed up her son and, very slowly, made her way up to Angel's office, pausing in the doorway, "What's going on?"
Slowly Spike looked up, "You should be in bed pet."
"You mean where I've been all day? Where not once has anyone offered to feed the pregnant and horribly hormonal woman who's on strict orders not to get out of bed yet no one's bothered to feed? Nor tell me how my baby is!" She was a tad irrational at the moment.
"Love I sent people down with food several times," he frowned, moving closer to hug her close. "We're still waiting for Angel to come.
"Well no one showed up with anything," the teen's lower lip started to quiver and her eyes welled with tears as she fell against him and sniffled, this obviously wasn't about the food.
Slowly the blond wrapped his arms around her to hold her tighter, "Wanna go see if the stubborn cat woke up trying to eat her doctors?"
The girl sniffled loudly and nodded very softly. Gently Spike set her in a wheelchair, which caused her to mutter something about not being a bloody cripple, heading for the elevator where a familiar pair stood, "There you are!"
At the sight, Mana looked up and offered her son-in-law a weak smile, lifting one arm to offer and take the fussy infant, "She doesn't sound to happy."
"She knows something's wrong," Angel said sadly as Serenity looked at Mana and began to calm down once Mana smiled at her cherub face.
Mana sat now with a baby in each arm, Will asleep on the left and Serenity looking up at her wide-eyed on the right. "Hello gorgeous," she kissed the girl's nose, "Now can we get going please? Did you even push the bloody button?"
"Yes I pushed the bloody button," Spike replied.
"Then what the hell's taking so long," she growled.
"I don't know," he stated as the doors popped open.
"Oh, there it is," she glanced at up at him from her spot in the chair.
As the trio entered they found Selene in the throws of another convulsion. Mana had been in the middle of saying something to Angel when she was wheeled in but stopped mid-sentence.
Frowning the Brit whispered, "Maybe we should come back."
"If you take me one inch away from her you'll regret it and so will your bollocks," Mana growled causing her husband to gulp and slowly wheel her closer.
Suddenly Selene jerked hard, ripping out her IV sending blood splattering all over the group. At this her mother's head jerked back some as blood spattered her face, running her tongue over her lips some, "That's what you're giving her? It tastes like a two dollar whore."
"That's her own blood ma'am," Knox said distractedly.
"Then whatever you've given her is mingling with her's and it isn't good enough," Mana snarled.
"We're doing our best," he stated.
"Don't you have something older?" She muttered as she lightly touched Selene's ice cold cheek. "My poor baby..."
"We don't have anything else. We're down to using Red Cross as it is," the assistant stated.
At this Mana let out a growl, narrowing her eyes towards the medic, "Spike, phone."
Frowning, the blond handed it over, trying to conceal the fact that he'd been licking the old blood from his lips.
Quite suddenly Serenity began screaming and crying hysterically, causing her grandmother to nip the tip of her finger and pop it into the baby's mouth to try and quiet her a bit as she traded Spike, the phone for Will and dialed quickly, "Hope you don't mind long distance charges babe."
"I'm not paying the bill," Spike glanced at Angel.
"So it's been you calling Japan from my office!" his grandsire exploded suddenly, the tension of the day finally breaking him.
"Is this really the place to be fighting?" The Brit snickered as he went to check on the others, watching them bring in another employee.
"Japan?" Mana cocked a brow at her husband but went quiet for a moment as the faint buzz of a voice could be heard on the other end. "Hey. Yeah long time," she listened as the voice buzzed on a moment before cutting her off, "Listen, I need a favor. Can you come to L.A.? Yeah Wolfram and Hart building. Mmhm, okay. It's really important, bring her with you. Okay, thanks so much!" She flipped the phone shut. "Help will be here in roughly sixteen hours, assuming these idiots can keep her alive that long," she glared at Knox in particular, before leaning down and pressing a kiss to Selene's head, "Hang on baby, help's coming."
