"I mean, I can make picture books. I can start teaching it French, maybe some Sumerian on the side. It'd like Egyptian I'm sure, with all the cool picture writing. Then, maybe I could start Latin, just some easy words at first. And of course, with Latin comes Italian and Spanish. English is a Germanic language, so German should be easy. Ancient greek next, and then, by the time it's twelve she should know all these languages, and of course some demon tongues and maybe-" I took a breath. I wasn't a natural at babbling, but for a beginer I thought that was quite good.
"Mal and I, as siblings, could teach it computer skills, hacking, etc. I could give it pony rides. Pony rides!" I grinned. "That would be soooooo cute!"

I grinned as I heard Jessy's voice. "You may want to take breaths every once and a while."

I grinned back. "I'm so excited, I mean, it's- it's-" I stoppped, not knowing what to say.

"To wonderful for words?" I suggested with a smile.

"It's as if suddenly all my birthdays have come and I'm so overwhelmed I can't help but fly and the wind is really strong and I can't stop but I don't want to stop I want it to go on forever.

I stood beside Charlottes bed, holding her hand gently, while she crushed mine. "Relax, girl," I said. "It'll be fine."
"How would you knw?" She growled through gritted teeth. I gave her a weak smile.
"Would you believe i'm owed a few favours from on high?"

I watched Doc and Charlie from a distance and felt a tug within me- if only things could have worked out between them- they really did look perfect together. Stupid bloody demons.

"no." I said shortly. "I would never believ that. It's because of 'them up there' we're in this mess in the first place."
"huh?"
"If it wasn't for 'them' I wouldn't have come back to LA and we wouldn't...y'know...and there wouldn't be a baby...of course I'd also be dead right about now..." Yet another contraction caused me to grimace in pain. "And I'm not sure that's not the better option," I muttered through gritted teeth.

"Think of it this way," I said. "Someone up there thinks you'll be a great mum."

"I wouldn't trust anything they decide." I said firmly. "They put me through hell. I don't give a damn what they think." The midwife was giving us strange looks but was prevented from asking any questions when there was a knock on the door. Two suited men came in, one displaying an LAPD badge. He looked questioningly at the midwife who nodded and they came to stand either side of Doc.
"Excuse me sir, we'd like a word with you please."
"Can it wait?" Doc snapped, "My baby is being born right about now."
"I'm sorry sir, we need to talk to you outside."
"What's going on?"I asked panicked but no one answered.
"Outside now please sir." The policeman repeated gripping Doc's arm. Doc squeezed my hand.
"I'm not going anywhere." He protested.
"We just need to ask you a few questions, otherwise we will be arresting you."
"What?" I shrieked attempting to sit up. "i need him to stay, please let him stay here."
"i'm sorry," one of the officers said kindly "we have to follow orders."
"It'll be ok Charlie." Doc said soothingly. "i'll be back soon."
I could only watch helplessly as he was led out the door and the next contraction came, more painful than any previous ones causing me to cry out loud with the pain.

"Now what's this about?" I asked.
"The nurse reported bruising on her consistant with domestic abuse."
"And when I find the creep..." I stopped, understanding what was happening. "You think I did it?"
"You are her boyfriend," was the reply.
"Typical," I muttered. "Jumping in with both feet, no idea of the facts."
"And the facts are...?"
"We broke up about nine months ago," I said angrily. "After the baby was conceived. I didn't even know she was pregnant until she showed up this evening."
"And, of course, you didn't go after her because she broke up with you," one officer commented. I glared at him. He backed off a bit.
"She was in England before tonight, as far as I know," I said cooly. "Now, can I go back in there before she panics more than she already does?"
"Don't leave the hospital," the officer in charge conceded. "We'll need to talk more later."
"Unless you arrest me, I don't need to do shit," I growled, stalking back towards teh room. "And since all you have is circumstancial evidence, you can't do that."

The second they forced Doc out of the room, i made to start after them , fists clenched, but Willow grabbed hold of me, physically and mentally,
"Dont, Mai, you'll make things worse." She said sternly.
"But Doc..."
"It'll be ok."
I reluctantly held back.

"Dad!" I squealed as Doc came outside where I was waiting.
