"Hey Dawnie, ready to go home?" Xander asked coming into the girl's room. Behind his back he hid a small bouquet of forget-me-nots.

Willow looked up at his arrival, the circles underneath made more noticeable by the make-up she had used to cover it up. "She isn't here, the doctors had to run a final test." She told him as she saw his eyes wander around the room. "Tara is with her."

"Will, you have to sle--"

"I sleep more then you Xander, besides I found something. We have to talk later." She informed in cutting him off.
Any reply he wanted to make was cut off when Tara came into the room pushing Dawn's chair.

"Xander," Dawn said seeing him as she came in. Tiredly she held her arms out to him. Moving quickly he went over and gave her a gentle hug.

Smiling slightly he gave her the flowers. "For my lady," he teased hoping to get a smiled.

She rewarded him with a small one. "Can we go home now?"

"As soon as I sign the papers Dawn," Willow told her leaving the room to find the doctor followed quickly by Tara.

Turning back to Xander she asked her lips trembling slightly, "You're going to stay right?"

He hugged her again to reassure her, "I'll always be around Dawnie, always. For your sake"

Three Hours Later:
"She's asleep" Xander informed Willow coming into the kitchen.

"Xander we need to talk. A Scooby talk."

"Where's Tara?" he asked looking around confused.

"A kinda original Scooby only talk," she clarified pouring him a cup of coffee. "I think I found a spell last night, one that would bring her back!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"What?" he asked choking on his coffee. "Bring her back you can't Will she died." He yelled his voice getting louder with each word.

"You'll wake Dawn," she told him as she took note of the tears, which had again filled his eyes. She decided to play on them.

"Xander she is in hell. This spell I found can bring her back, out of that place."

"No, no, no" he repeated backing away from her. "She is not hell Will. Not after what she did I could never believe that."

"So you would leave her there, in hell to suffer without you thinking you abandoned her?" She taunted him.

"I would never ever do that!" He yelled finally snapping. "I can't be here right now, tell Dawn…tell her I'll be back." He yelled going out the kitchen door.

Not giving up she yelled after him, "Tara and I did a locating spell she is in hell!" She watched, as he didn't turn around in his haste to escape from the house.

"I'll talk to him Will, maybe he will understand better if he hears it from someone else," Tara told her coming into the room. She walked behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. A cry from Dawn broke them apart."

"Go and talk to Xander, I'll go to Dawn.' Willow told her pulling away. "Tara ask Spike to come over, it will cheer her up a bit." With that she headed up the stairs to Dawn's room.
