Ok I have to warn you this is sad and well sad. I had every intention 
on this one being happy but then I'm not big on the happy at the 
moment. I haven't started the next part so who knows it might still 
be happy. Jen

Pairing: Willow/Buffy

Buffy groaned and looked at the clock beside the bed, she had 
awoken when her red headed girlfriend had smacked her in the nose. 
She could make out her features of her sleeping lover from the 
moonlight coming in the window. Six months into her pregnancy it was 
getting harder for Willow to get comfortable at night. She would 
often toss and turn the bigger part of the night. Buffy sighed when 
the red head finally got settled. Buffy slid down the bed a little 
until her eyes where level with the growing belly of her 
girlfriend, "So kid, I read in one of your mom's book about how I 
should talk to you, something about you being able to hear me. I have 
some doubts but it looks like I'm not going to get anymore sleep 
tonight anyway. I'm not trying to blame you or anything but you're 
making it kinda hard for your mom to sleep." Buffy laid her hand on 
Willow stomach and smiled when she was rewarded with a kick. She 
thought to the first time she and Will had been lying in the bed 
talking about all the hopes and dreams that they had for the baby 
that was slowing growing inside her. Willow had gasped and then 
brought Buffy hand to her stomach. Buffy had gotten so excited that 
she had ran into her mother's room and dragged her back and placed 
her hand in the same spot she had just left. Joyce had taken one look 
at her daughter standing there with a grin and had to sit down she 
was laughing so hard. 

"So we have your name picked out and I think we did pretty good. So 
if you are a boy you are going to be Michael Alexander, after your 
grandfather and Xander. If you are a girl you're going to be Joyce 
Renee, after your two grandmothers. I think my mom was going to cry 
us a river when your mom told her. You would not believe how much 
both of your grandmas are just fussing about. They spent all day last 
Saturday picking out the colors and the furniture for your bedroom. I 
had to rub Will's feet for two hours after they had finally brought 
her home. You are going to be one spoiled kid. I know things are 
going to be hard on you, I mean your parents are gay, your mom is so 
young and your dad's not a lot older and finally but the most 
important fact you live on the mouth of hell. I wish that were a 
metaphor for living in a bad place but you really live on the mouth 
of hell. I just want you to that you have a lot of people who love 
you and will make sure that you have everything that you need. Plus 
your?other mom, that would be me, that is if you'll let me be just 
happens to be a really kick ass vampire slayer and will die to 
protect you. I never really liked being the slayer but it finally 
came to me the day I sat with your parents and watched as you 
appeared on the screen in the doctor's office for the first time. I 
knew then and there that my calling finally had a meaning, if nothing 
more then to protect you and your mom. I remember the look on Will's 
face when she saw your tiny heart beating and your dad, well it took 
days before the grin left his face. I'm really proud of them, they 
have taken something that could have been bad and made it into the 
miracle it should be. I want you to know that I love your mom so 
much, I never in a million years thought that I would be lying here 
tonight. She just wants to be a better mother then her own was and I 
know she will be. Your mom is the most caring person I have ever met. 
Ok kid, I guess maybe I am a little tired, I think I'm going to stay 
right here though so if you need me just give me a little nudge", 
Buffy whispered, cuddled up with Willow and fell asleep. 

 

 

 

Buffy silenced the alarm clock and rolled back to wake her sleeping 
girlfriend, "Willow honey it's time to get up."

"Good morning, I think I might just stay in bed today. I don't feel 
very good", Willow told her and pulled the blanket a little higher. 
Buffy felt her girlfriend's forehead and sighed when she realized she 
didn't feel warm. 

"Do you want me to stay home with you, baby", Buffy asked.

"No, I'll be ok, I just feel really tired and kind of sick to my 
stomach. Will you bring my work home though."

"Sure, do want some toast", Buffy asked her as she dressed and found 
her book bag.

"That would be nice. I love you", Willow mumbled before falling 
asleep again. 

 

Buffy walked into the kitchen and found her mother reading the 
paper having coffee, "Morning mom, sleep well?"

"Yeah and you", Joyce asked.

"Your kidding right, I don't think I will ever be able to sleep 
again. I figure after the baby is finally born there will be feedings 
and then terrible twos and I don't even want to get into it being a 
teenager." Joyce laughed and nodded her head, she had to admit that 
her daughter had a point, "Where's Willow?"

"She isn't feeling well and is going to stay home today and rest. I'm 
going to take her some toast and head to school."

"Do you think I ought to stay home with her", Joyce asked with 
concern.

"I already tried that but she said she was just going to sleep. I 
figure I'll call her at lunch and check on her."

"Ok, well call me if you need anything", Joyce said heading for the 
door. Buffy finished the toast and took it upstairs. Willow was 
asleep and Buffy laid it on the table beside her. She kissed her on 
the forehead and left for school.

 

 

Buffy walked into the library at lunch, finding all her friends 
sitting around the table. She waved hi and then headed for the phone. 
She stared at it for a minute, her need to make sure Willow was ok 
waring with the knowledge that she could disturb the red head. She 
picked it up and risked waking Willow. Buffy hadn't been able to 
shake the feeling that she should have stayed home. She listened as 
the phone rang and rang. She hung up and tried again with the same 
results. She turned to her waiting friend, panic welling up in her 
chest, "Jenny can you give me a ride home. Willow won't answer the 
phone and I'm really kind of worried. Giles will you call my mom and 
have her meet me at the house. Tell her not to panic cause I don't 
know anything but I just have a feeling I'm going to need her."

"Of course, lets go", Jenny said as she and Buffy stormed out of the 
library.

 

 

Jenny and Buffy pulled into the driveway just as Joyce was getting 
out of the jeep. Buffy ran up the front porch and into the house 
followed closely by Joyce and Jenny.

"Will", Buffy yelled running for the kitchen. Joyce headed up the 
steps. She walked into the room that Willow shared with her daughter 
finding it empty she knocked on the door to the bathroom, "Willow", 
she called. She didn't hear anything and pushed the door open slowly. 

"Willow honey, are you in here", said opening the door a little 
further.

"Buffy", Joyce yelled and rushed to the red head lying on the floor. 
Buffy and Jenny came running up the stairs and into the bathroom. 

"Mom", Buffy whispered, "Will."

"Buffy go call an ambulance", Jenny said and ran to help Joyce.

"BUFFY NOW", Joyce yelled at her. Buffy flew down the stairs her mind 
racing at the sight of her lover, her best friend lying on the floor, 
the blood pooled around her. 

"Come on, come on", Buffy yelled as though she was willing them to 
answer. After giving the operator the information she needed she hung 
up and called Jason. She gave him a brief run down and told him to 
meet them at the hospital. Buffy flew back upstairs and sat down 
beside Willow, "Hey honey, it's me, hang on the ambulance is on the 
way and I called Jason to meet us at the hospital but you need to 
open your eyes for me."

"Buffy", Willow whispered and opened her eyes.

"Yeah it's me, baby. What happened"?

"I don't know, I was feeling sick and crampy. I came in her because I 
thought I was going to be sick. I got really dizzy and I must passed 
out."

"It's ok", Buffy said as she saw the panic fill the red head 
face, "I'm here now." 

"Buffy, I'm scared", Willow said as the tears filled her eyes.

"I know baby, me too." Joyce glance at Jenny and both women had tears 
in their eyes.
