"Well, Ms. Rosenberg, I have some good news and some bad news," Dr. Malcolm, a pleasant, attractive woman and the doctor that Willow had found to replace her old one here in London, said.
Willow winced. She hadn't been expecting such a build up. Quite frankly she had expected Dr. Malcolm to tell her she was suffering from a bad case of stomach flu before sending her home. Five minutes and she was done. Instead, Dr. Malcolm had demanded a full examination, complete with blood and urine samples. She had been here for an hour already. "Give me the bad news first," she said quietly, worriedly.
Dr. Malcolm sighed and sat down in the chair next to her. "Your red blood cell count is extremely low, that would be why you've been fainting, feeling light headed and suffering from fatigue lately." She shook her head in wonder. "I really don't know how you've been getting through the day with the lack of energy you should have been suffering from." She paused. "And now for the good news"¦."
Xander sat on the couch in the flat he and Willow shared. With a sigh, he looked at his watch worriedly and put the book he had been reading down. She should have been back by now. He walked into the kitchen to put on the teakettle. Willow would probably want some tea by the time she got home. Tiredly, he rubbed a hand over his eyes. He hoped she was alright. After all they had been through"¦.it didn't seem right that NOW something would happen to Willow.
Suddenly, he heard the door to the flat slam. She was home.
"Xander?" he heard her sob from the living room. Xander's brow furrowed. Oh God. His thoughts immediately went to the worst possible scenarios.
"Wills? What happened?" he said, taking her into his arms and going to sit on the couch with her.
"Xander. What am I going to do?" her face crumpled as more sobs racked her thin frame.
"Oh Willow"¦what's wrong? What'd the doctor say?" He asked as Willow sniffled loudly.
"Well, I have a really low red blood cell count. That's why I've been so tired lately." She snuggled deeper into Xander's chest.
"Well that's not so bad. Why the tears? There's more isn't there?"
Willow nodded sadly, tears running freely down her cheeks. She turned her head and looked into Xander's eyes. "I'm pregnant."
Xander's jaw dropped. "Seriously? That's it?"
Willow's eyes darkened with anger. "That's it? Xander, I'M PREGNANT! That's a lot!" She glared at him. "I can't believe you just said that"¦"
"Wills, I was thinking you were seriously ill, you know, cancer or something. But this"¦.."
"I know," Willow laughed through her tears, her anger calming. "I'm keeping it you know."
He smiled gently. "I knew that. You're just that type of person." He was silent a moment. "It was that guy wasn't it? The guy from Vegas?"
She nodded silently. "Yeah."
"Are you going to try to contact him?"
Willow shrugged and shook her head. "Xander, I only know his name and that he has a British accent. That doesn't narrow down the search at all." She laughed bitterly. "His name was Harry Potter. Do you know how many Harry Potters there are in the world? Hundreds! It's a very common name. And that's not even counting the different forms of the first name! I mean, if you count all the Harold and Harrison Potters out there, the list gets even bigger." Xander opened his mouth as if to say something and Willow stopped him with a pointed look. "And don't tell me that because he was British so that narrows down the search. Just because he has a British accent does NOT mean he lives in England. He could be someone that has recently moved to Canada or Australia, or anywhere for that matter." She shook her head. "No, I think I'm in this alone Xander."
Xander hugged her close to him. "No you're not Wills. No you're not."

Harry Potter wasn't sure how Hermione had talked him into going to this meeting. It was Tuesday, a school night, and he had classes to teach in the morning. He did not have time to go gallivanting off to London with his two best friends to have a meeting with the Watchers Council and Wolfram and Hart. Quite frankly he wasn't sure what good it was going to do anyways; he, Dumbledore and the rest of the Order had been trying to defeat Voldemort for years with no luck, what could two organizations that specialized in demons and vampires do with a dark wizard?
Sighing, he entered the Council building with Hermione, he and Ron trailing behind her until they reached a darkly lit boardroom. A man sat at the head of the table, leafing through a large dusty tome. He looked up as they walked in.
"Hello. You must be from the Ministry of Magic," the man stood and went to shake their hands. "I'm Rupert Giles, Head of the Watcher's Council."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Giles. I'm Hermione Granger and these are my friends and colleagues, Ron Weasely and Harry Potter."
Giles' eyebrow rose at this last name. "Harry Potter? You have a vested interest in tonight's meeting then?"
"Yes sir." Harry replied grimly. "Voldemort has been after me since I was one years old. There's a prophecy and everything. It appears that I am the only one that can ultimately kill him." Harry had come to terms with the prophecy over the last few years when Voldemort had found out about it. Well, he and the rest of the wizarding world. Somehow, the Daily Prophet had gotten hold of the information. Harry had never been so furious in all his life.
A smirk grew on Mr. Giles' face. "Remind me to introduce you to my slayer, Buffy, some time Mr. Potter. I think you two would have a lot to talk about. She's been the subject of quite a few prophecies and lived to tell the tale. I'm sure that with our help, you'll achieve the same feat."
He motioned for them to take a seat. "We just need a moment longer and then we can start the meeting. Xander and Willow are briefing Angel in her office."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel walked into the Willow's off cur curious at why his meeting with the Ministry of magic had been moved to tonight and why the Watcher's Council was getting involved. He stopped just beyond the door. Something was wrong.
"Willow? Why do you have two heartbeats?"
Willow looked up from the conversation she had been having with Xander on the couch. "Angel, you're here. Good. Let me just get my notes and we'll tell you what's going on"¦"
Angel sat down in the armchair across from Xander as he watched her go to her desk and retrieve the notes. "You didn't answer my question Willow"¦why DO you have two heartbeats?"
Willow winced and sat down again, folding her hands primly on top of the notes on her lap. "This wasn't how I wanted to tell people"¦I'm pregnant Angel."
Angel's eyes widened and looked between the two former Sunnydalers. "Well congratulations you two"¦."
Xander burst into laughter. "No. Angel, it's not mine. No, Wills and I are just friends."
"Then how"¦" Angel frowned.
Willow blushed deeply.
"Yeah Wills, why don't you tell Angel how this happened"¦." He teased.
Willow burst into tears. The smirk that had formed on both mens lips at her blush immediately turned into looks of shock and concern.
"Willow, I'm sorry. I'll shut my mouth. See? Teasing stopped. I'm sorry. Just stop crying. I'll be good." Xander said in a panicked voice, sharing a horrified look with Angel before moving closer to the sobbing woman and taking her into his arms.
"No, Xander, I'm sorry. I don't even know why I'm crying. Damn hormones. It's just, this is such a bad situation." She looked up teary eyed at Angel. "It was a one night stand. Remember how Giles sent the three of us on vacation in August?" Angel nodded, remembering how he had helped Giles procure totelotel suite they had rented for the trio on such short notice. "Well, I got"¦.pretty drunk and the next thing I know, I'm waking up next to this guy and"¦and"¦and there was a marriage certificate, but we got it annulled"¦ but it's just one big mess now that I'm"¦"
"What?!" Xander interrupted, shocked that she had left such a big part of the story out the first time. "You got married?! Why didn't you tell Buffy and I?"
Wi shr shrugged weakly. "Nothing to tell. We got it annulled that morning. Then I went to breakfast and I KNEW that you guys would never let me live it down and so I just, left that part out." She started crying again.
"Are you going to tell the father?" Angel asked quietly. Of all the people that this could have happened to"¦..
Willow shook her head. "I only know his first name and it's INCREDIBLY common. We didn't exchange numbers, addresses or anything"¦." Fresh tears formed in her eyes and she buried her head into Xander's shoulder.
Xander hugged her closer and sighed. "It's gonna be okay Willow. Everything's going to be fine." He couldn't believe the situation she had gotten herself into. If he EVER got his hands on the man that had done this to her"¦.well, he wasn't sure what he was going to do. Obviously, neither one of them had wanted to be married and they were both drunk"¦.he wondered what he would have done in the same situation. It didn't matter though. His best friend was hurting deeply because of this Harry Potters actions or lack thereof and therefore deserved to be hurt. How hard was it to remember a condom anyways, even if you were drunk at the time? With another sigh, he pulled the files from her lap and handed them to Angel. "Here's the information on this Voldemort guy Angel. Think the Judge but without the whole blue thing and a hell of a lot more magic."
Angel absorbed this quietly, opening the first file and beginning to read as Xander calmed his friend down. After 10 minutes or so, he looked up. "What can I do to help?"
