------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn sat up at the sound of his voice. She hopped off the bed and went to hug Spike. "There, there love it's gonna be alright. Big sis is a fighter" he said noticing that Dawn had definately been crying.
"I just don't know how much longer she can fight" Dawn said as they both walked over to BUffys bed, each grabbing a seat and a hand. "What happened?" Spike asked as Dawn filled him in on what she knew. "At least thats what they told me, but they usually don't tell me the whole scoop ya know" Dawn said as Buffy started to wiggle her head and her eyes started to flutter.
"Bu.. Buffy" Dawn said as she stood up.
"Dawn" a confused Buffy said as she tried to bring herself back to reality. "Wha.. what happened" She asked as she noticed that Spike was also in the room.
"Warren shot you and Tara" Dawn said
"Tara is she ok?" Buffy asked
"we don't know shes still in surgery" Dawn said
"Xander?" Buffy said a little panicked like.
"He's fine Buffy he is the one who called 911" Dawn said as Buffy got a relieved look on her face.
"I'm gonna go let a nurse know you woke up, they wanted us to notify them of any changes." Dawn said as she kissed her sister on the cheek and then walked out of the room.
They were alone, just the two of them. He couldn't help the feeling of wanting to just wrap his arms around her and tell her everything was alright. It wasn't though he couldn't just do that, not after what had happened between them.
"You alright?" Spike said as he brushed his hand across Buffys face.
"I guess for just being shot." Buffy said as she tried to sit up.
"Buff, maybe you shouldn't be trying to sit up" Spike said concerned like.
"No I have to go check on Tara" she said as she went to remove the iv's and things from her wrists.
Spike put his hands over hers and tried to calm her down. "Buf, you need to rest Glenda is in good hands with the doctors" he said as Buffy eased back into her bed.
She shivered a little bit as she tried to bundle up with the covers. "You cold?" he asked
"A little" she answered.
"Here, this should help a little" he said as he tucked the covers around her feet and then placed his leather coat over her legs.
"thanks" she said.
"Buffy, look I.. I'm..." he stuttered as he looked up and noticed that Buffy was slipping back into her coma. "No...Buff.. you gotta stay awake, pet" he said as he shook her shoulder a little.
"Here she is nurse" Dawn said as she entered with a nurse. She stopped and her grin turned to a frown when she noticed that Buffy was again in a deep state of sleep.
"What happened she was just awake and talking" Dawn said as the nurse went over to check all of Buffys fluids and monitoring devices.
"I don't know miss, but keep talking to her maybe that will help. Your sister needs some more fluids so I will be right back with them" the nurse said as she left the room.
"I should be leaving if Xander comes in and finds me here he won't be too happy and I don't think thats what Buffy needs right now" Spike said.
"No, I want you to stay!" Dawn protested.
"Pet, it's too complicated to explain right now. Trust me, it would be better for Buffy if I left" He said
"Ok, but promise you'll come back" Dawn was scared of what his answer might be.
"I will be back, promise me that if anything changes you'll let me know" he said
"I promise, you'll be the first to know" she said as He got up and kissed Buffy on the forehead. "Don't do this again" he wispered into her ear. He stroked his hand over her hair and down her face. Then he turned to Dawn and gave her a hug.
"She'll make it! Big sis' is a fighter" he said as Dawn wiped a tear away from her face.
Spike poked his head out of the door and made sure the coast was clear. He walked out of the hospital and into the night. All the way he thought back to the last time she had died. He might not have been able to save her then, but he was gonna find a way to save her now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xander and Willow finnished breifing the Officers on what had happened to them that morning and walked back towards Buffys room.
"I'm gonna go see if there is any news about Tara" Willow said as Xander nodded and headed into Buffys room.
"Spi...Oh hey Xander" Dawn said hoping that Spike had decided to stay after all.
"Hey Dawnie, any change" Xander said as he sat down and grabbed Buffys free hand. "Wait, whats this? Has Spike been here?" Xander said noticing Spikes coat drapped over Buffy.
"Yeah, he was, but he decided that it was better for Buffy if he left. She was awake for a few minutes and then she wasn't" Dawn said as she started to well up again.
"I can't believe he showed up here after what he did" Xander thought to himself trying not to show that he was unhappy at Spikes actions.
