Chapter Four

Chapter four

Spike took the stairs in leaps and bounds, skipping whole flights in his rush to get to Buffy. He knew the nurse was after him and that eventually she would catch up. He had outrun her for the moment though, so she wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Now what floor would she be on? “Damn!” Spike thought as he realized that the nurse hadn’t mentioned the floor that Buffy had been admitted to. But then he saw Willow leaving from a door a few levels below. “Luck is certainly on my side today!” Spike mentally congratulated himself, as he leapt down the last few stairs and entered the door.

Walking up to the nurses station Spike asked where he could find Buffy. The nurses didn’t even look up as one pointed towards a door in the rear of the ward. Spike sauntered over to the door and rapped sharply before entering.

Buffy looked up from the book she was reading as Spike entered her room. Her mouth fell open as she saw who had come in. Leaping up from the bed, she grabbed the stake that Giles had left for her and walked towards Spike, hitting him squarely in the nose. The blow knocked Spike off his feet so he landed flat on the floor. Buffy came to stand over him and placed a foot on his chest.

“Oi, Slayer! What the bloody hell was that for?” Spike grimaced as he wiped a hand across the back of his nose. He was trying very hard not to notice the wonderful view the ill fitting hospital gown was giving him of Buffy’s panties.

“Don’t play dumb with me!” Buffy seethed at Spike “You know perfectly well what this is all about. I may have not been willing to fight you the other day, but today, well today is a different story.”

Xander and Giles came into the room stopping short when they saw the Slayer on top of Spike.

The two men exchanged a look and grabbed Spike by the shoulders hauling him to his feet. “What the bloody hell is going on here!” Spike yelled as the grips on his arms tightened.

“Gee, I don’t know what this is about at all Spike. You could try beating Buffy into a bloody pulp and putting her in the hospital, though!” Xander said his sarcasm evident.

“I did no such thing!” Spike defended himself. “I would never hurt Buffy, she knows that! Tell them Buffy.”

Buffy avoided his gaze unsure of what to say. “I used to know that, before you died.” Buffy mumbled softly.

“What the…? Slayer?” Spike was so confused at this point, that he couldn’t even begin to comprehend what was happening.

Emily rushed into the room out of breath. Stooping and placing her hands on her knees, Emily looked at what was going on. She had had an idea that Spike would not be wanted in the room of this young woman, but it was even more serious then Emily had thought.

“There you are!” Emily said glaring at Spike. “I told you not to come down here and now look what you have gotten yourself into. Spike, please come back upstairs with me. You shouldn’t be out of bed at all!”

Giles, Xander and Buffy all exchanged glances. “Upstairs?” Giles finally squeaked out.

“Been in a coma for the last six weeks they tell me.” Spike said suddenly getting a smug look on his face. “Got myself a beating heart and everything!”

Giles looked at the very confused nurse for clarification and she nodded. “He’s really fixated on that beating heart.” She shrugged.
“Oh this is SPIKE!” Giles said with a mock tone on realization as Buffy put on her best I-told-you-so look. “See we thought it was his twin brother…umm…Mike.”

“Yes,” Buffy nodded, “his very not nice, twin brother Mike. So you can leave him here with us.”

Emily looked around the room confused. Not that that was a new state of mind since this mystery patient had come to the hospital. “Alright,” she shrugged. “But don’t be too long, Spike. We really need to get you back on those IV’s.”

“I think Xander, we had better go and locate Willow.” Giles said realization of exactly what this meant dawning on him. “Come along, they will be just fine on their own.” Dragging the reluctant Xander out of the room, Giles followed Emily out the door.

Buffy walked forward and grabbed Spike by the shoulders. Her grip dangerously hard

“Are you going to hit me again now that we are alone?” Spike asked his hands coming up to defend his face. He didn’t think he could handle his nose being broken again. Instead, Buffy surprised Spike by pulling him into a rough kiss.
