Buffy was patrolling that night, as usual. Nothing was in site, except for the headstones on the graves. The wind was calm and the moon was bright.
"No vampires, no demons, or anything else evil for that matter," Buffy said as she paced around the graveyard with a stake in hand. "Just another lonely night."
"Are you sure that I'm not evil, lover?" a voice called out. A shadow reveled itself out from the darkness. Buffy knew that voice too well, to be fooled.
"What do you want?" her voice was cold, but still winced the way he used the word, lover. "I'm ready right now. You want to become ashes? Come on. Let me see what you've got." Buffy put up a fighting position.
"I didn't come here to fight," Angel said in a cool tone. He walked up to her and grabbed the stake out of her hand. Buffy looks at him with anger. "I came here because one of your friends are in trouble. Right now."
Buffy pushed him out of the way and started running towards the library. She hopped over bushes and ran around cars parked on the street. Her boots clicked on the benches and on the black, paved roads. She finally reached her destination within minutes.
Out of breath, she ran into the library. Buffy took a quick glance around and assumed everyone was there. "Is eveyone okay?" her voice was with worry.
"Yeah. Everything's fine here. Just having another crazy night of fun," Xander replied with sarcasm. He held up a book to show his point.
"Buffy, what is the..the matter?" Giles asked with concern. He still held a book in his hand as he went over to Buffy.
Buffy exhaled and closed her eyes. She heard Giles, but just barely. The image in her head, was of Angel. Then, she passed out.
"Buffy!" Willow ran over to her and caught her before she hit the floor. "Giles, what's wrong?" her voice full of worry.
Giles walked over to them and picked Buffy up and placed her in his office. He examined her and found nothing wrong.
"Giles! Talk to me!" Willow grabbed his arm, turning him towards her. Tears started racing down her face.
"I..I don't know what's wrong. N..Nothing seems to be wrong." Giles said. He examined her some more.
Xander came into the office. "What happened to Buffy?" he questioned. He walked over to Giles and glanced at him.
"Like I said, I don't know," Giles replied, still looking at Buffy. Her face had turned pale. "I need to get her to the hospital."
"Okay. Then why don't you go?" Xander said with anger.
Giles grabbed his keys. "Xander, get Buffy. Willow, think of a story to tell her mom. As you know, anything but the truth," they knew that she went up against Angelus. They headed out of the school and towards the hospital.

"What happened to her?" a doctor asked Giles.
"She passed out. Wh..when she walked into the library," Giles said. It was the truth.
"Okay. Where is her mother?" the doctor questioned.
"I'm right here," the doctor and Giles both turned to look at her.

Buffy is sitting up in the hospital bed, eating jello. "I'm okay. I might of passed out because I ate something," she looked at Giles and then at her mom. "It's funny. Here I am in a hospital again." she laughed.
They had been there for a few hours, waiting for tests to return. Joyce spoke up, "Buffy, I'm going to go home. Unless you want-"
"No, mom. I'm fine," Buffy smiled to reassure her mom.
"Okay," Joyce replied. "I'll see you tomorrow," she smiled and kissed her daughter on the cheek. She then left.
"Okay. What's wrong with me?" Buffy asked as soon as her mom was out of the room. She looked at Giles, like always, for the answer.
To her surprise, Xander answered. "The doctors don't know, but they think it's harmless.
"I WANT to know what's wrong with me." she demanded. She put her jello aside and crossed her arms.
"We don't know, Buffy. What happened tonight with Angel? Did he do anything?" Giles questioned. He expected that Angel did do something.
"All he did was step up to me. I really think that that couldn't do anything." she replied. She wanted some answers.
They stopped their conversation when a female doctor came in. It was a different doctor than the one had been seeing her. "Buffy Summers, I need to speak to you," her voice was serious. "I need you guys to go outside and wait," she spoke to Buffy's friends.
They did as they were told and shut the door on the way out.
"What's wrong with me? Is it anything serious?" Buffy questioned. She was worried.
"Well, it isn't anything fatal, but it is serious," she paused before going on. "How have you been feeling lately? Have you been sick any?"
"Well, I sometimes feel dizzy, but that's about all," the slayer replied, truthfully.
"Well, the last test we took," the doctor picked up Buffy's hand. This made Buffy sit up straight. "Proved that you were pregnant."
Buffy was shocked. She was lost in her own world, until the doctor called her back. "Buffy?"
"Huh? Oh. Well.." she couldn't believe it. She knew it was from Angel. On her seven-teenth birthday. "I don't know how I'm going to tell my mother."
"You can tell her tomorrow, when you go home," the doctor got up and left the room. Buffy could hear her telling her friends that they could go in.
Giles came in first and then Willow and Xander. They looked at Buffy, worried that it was something fatal.
"What's wrong?" Giles was the first to question.
"Nothing," she was still in a trance. "Nothing," she repeated herself.
Giles shook her until she was back. He looked at her with worry.
Willow went by her friend's side and took her hand. "Buffy, tell us what the doctor said."
"I'm...I.." she tried to hold back the tears of joy, happiness, and pain. "I'm pregnant," she finally got the words out.
