come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Angel: You don't just get half a miracle, do you? from Lullaby (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
ANGEL: Is she gonna be okay?
WESLEY: She's tough as nails.
FRED: And immortal, so that's, you know, in her favor, health wise.
ANGEL: What about the baby?
(Wes glances back at Darla, then walks out of the room. Angel follows him.)
ANGEL: What? What is it?
WESLEY: Angel, I think you need to prepare yourself for the worst.
ANGEL: No.
WESLEY: The babies heartbeat is faint. Very faint.
ANGEL: What do we do?
WESLEY: I'm not sure there is anything we can do. Darla's body - it's not a life-giving vessel. I don't know that it's equipped to do what it needs to do in order to bring a baby to term.
ANGEL: So-so, what-what are you saying? We just let it die?
CORDELIA: Ah, what about a c-section?
FRED: Normally that's exactly what we'd do in this instance, but... the mystical forces that's been protecting the pregnancy...
ANGEL: ...is gonna end up killing it.
WESLEY: That's my fear.
ANGEL: This doesn't make any sense. I mean, this whole thing has been a miracle, right? You don't just get half a miracle, do you? I mean, the powers, they brought her this far, they protected the baby all this time...
GUNN: We don't know that. We don't know that it's the powers that's been protecting it. Angel, I'm sorry, but what if what Darla's carrying *is* the thing in the prophecies? That scourge of mankind that's supposed to plunge the world into ultimate darkness? What if... what if what's happening to Darla *now*, what if that's the powers? Finally stepping up to the plate and doing something for once!
ANGEL: How? By killing my kid?
(Angel walks towards Lorne's bedroom.)
CORDELIE: (to Gunn) Do you always have to be so damned honest?
(Cordy reaches out to slap Gunn on the arm, but her hand is repelled by a by blue force field.)
LORNE: What? Hey! Hey, it-it worked! I fixed it!
(The others continue to look glum.)
LORNE: Ah, yay, me?
