Epilogue
"Welcome To Heaven..."
"Wwwaaaaahhhhhh!"
"Congratulations,
Mrs. Windsor, you have a beautiful baby girl." The midwife smiled at the still-panting slayer, speedily snipping
and tying the umbilical chord with years of practice under her belt.
Wrapping the baby, she
handed her to Spike, smiling at the look of gentle awe on his face as he
carefully took the baby from her.
"Bloody
hell..." He murmured as he took in
the red mass of baby-mush. He walked
back to sit next to Buffy, placing the baby into her outstretched arms.
"Oh...." Buffy gasped as the baby quieted, tears
filling her eyes as she watched her daughter yawn for the first time.
"She's
perfect." Spike whispered,
carefully reaching out one gem-of-Amara-covered-finger to gently stroke one
chubby cheek, gasping himself as the baby sighed, her eyes fluttering open and
closed.
"Would you like me
to take a picture?" The nurse
asked quietly, holding up the camera that she'd found peaking out of the bag.
"Would you
mind?" Buffy whispered back,
looking up for the first time.
"Not at all,
smile." The nurse snapped a few pictures
before her buzzer went off.
"Someone will be back to help in a few minutes."
The couple barely noticed
her departure, too enamoured with the now sleeping child in their arms.
Spike tore his eyes away
from the wonder that was his daughter, to take in the amazing view of his child
and mate together.
"I love you both, so
much." He sighed.
Buffy looked up at the
wealth of emotion in his voice and pressed a gentle kiss to her husband's
chiseled cheek. "We love you
too."
Then the slayer giggled cheekily,
"Told you it was a girl!"
-----
Buffy smiled at the
euphoric feeling that filled her as she watched her vampiric mate swing their
four-year-old daughter round and round in his arms.
Their search was over.
This was heaven.
