Buffy and Spike: The Return

22- Hospital Panic

SPIKE'S POV

We all gathered at the hospital and stood outside the room Anya was in, Xander was in there with her. 

'Buffy I'm sorry about Jessica' Willow told Buffy, I squeezed her hand tighter to let her know it was okay, she squeezed back

'Thanks Will' she replied calmly

'Buffy you mustn't let it get to you, it's not your fault' Giles chimed in

'I... Really don't want to talk about this' she told them 'sorry'

'No, it's okay!' Willow said 'we understand, all of us, completely, 100%' she waved her arms around pointing to the rest of the gang

'Sweetie, just relax' Tara told her

'I know this is a bad time but, Drusilla has killed the watchers council, she's in England right now' Buffy told everyone but only looking at Giles

'How do you know for sure?' Giles questioned

'I called the council and she answered the phone, I mean doesn't it just seem like she'd have killed them all by now?'

'She would have' I replied 'she definitely would have'

'Hey guys' Xander said stepping out of Anya's hospital room

'How is she?' Willow asked

'She's okay, she's asleep now'

'Do they know what's wrong?' Tara asked

'They don't think it's anything too bad, just over working herself.' Xander explained 'I have to go make a call, can someone stay with her?'

'Of course' Willow said 'Tara and I can'

'Thanks' Xander smiled weekly and headed off down the corridor

'Well, we best head off' Giles said looking at Buffy and I

'Yeah, give Anya our best' Buffy told them

We headed out into the dark carpark, when Buffy asked Giles a question 'Do you think their child will be human?'

'One would think so' Giles said 'they are both human, but Anya is technically very old'

'Ew' Buffy stated 'I mean' she laughed 'you know what I mean' 

'Yes' Giles stifled a smile 'I'll see you guys later'

'Bye' Buffy replied

'Want me to drive pet?' I asked her

'Yes please' she said
