Sorry it's been so long!!! I had exams to do and then I got into writing other fanfics. I will finish this! (eventually!) I promise!
Part 6
Everyone was silent as they sat in the hospital waiting area, desperately hoping that Willow would pull through. They were all there. Sheila and Ira Rosenberg; Tara; Buffy; Giles; Xander; Joyce...Everyone.
Losing Jonathan had been bad enough, but if Willow died too... the prospect of losing her was more than any of them could bare.
It was almost three in the morning before the doctor came up and asked to speak to Sheila and Ira. The rest of the group watched as Ira, comforting his sobbing wife, followed the doctor to a place just out of earshot.
As they all sat there, trying to work out what their friend's parents were being told, thoughts and feelings
ran through their heads;
Xander: 'Look God, I know I'm not what you'd call the religious type, but if you let Will pull through, I'll
be totally grateful. Please don't take her away from me.'
Tara: 'No! No! No! Please be okay. Please. I can't live without you Willow. You have to be okay!'
Buffy: 'When I get my hands on whatever or whoever did this to her I'll make them wish they'd never
been born. I just face can't losing her. She's my best friend.'
Giles: 'This is killing me, so god only knows what her parents are going through...'
It was at that point that Willow's parents came back over to the others.
"What did the doctor say?" Asked Joyce, stroking Dawn's hair with one hand and holding Giles' with the
other.
"She's got a blood clot on her brain. It's called a sub-dural something-or-other." Sheila said, wiping a
tear from her eye.
"Heamatoma. It's a sub-dural heamatoma." Ira told them. "They're going to operate this morning. She
should be fine." He added, managing a slight smile for the first time since he had heard about what had
happened to his daughter.
Knowing that Willow would be okay caused everyone to breath a sigh of relief. It was the best news
they had heard all day.
It was one week later, and Buffy, Riley, Xander and Anya were waiting in Buffy and Willow's room for
her return later that day. Tara was at that very moment on her way to the hospital to pick her up.
"You okay Buff?" Xander asked, looking at his friend with concern.
"I'm getting there. It's just kind of weird to get used to you know." Buffy replied as the song that was
playing on the radio ended.
Despite their doubts about the timing, Joyce and Giles had gone ahead with their wedding plans, and were
now (along with Dawn) across the Atlantic in England. At first they had wanted to postpone their
wedding until Willow had recovered, but Willow herself insisted on them not changing their plans. In fact
she had refused to speak to either of them until they finally agreed to get married on that Saturday as
planned.
As strange as it was for Buffy to get used to the idea of not only having a step-father but also of him being Giles, she had to admit that she had never seen her mother more happy.
The wedding had been small yet beautiful. It had taken place in a near-by registry office, with the reception held in the Summers' house and garden. It had been a great day all round.
Just as Buffy was remembering how beautiful her mom had looked in her tailored cream skirt suit, her
thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing.
"Buffy Summers." She said into the receiver. "Hi Tara...What!? Are you sure?"
Xander, Anya and Riley looked towards Buffy with worried expressions that matched her tone of voice.
"We'll be right there." Buffy hung the phone up and turned towards her friends and boyfriend.
"What's happened?" Riley asked his girlfriend with concern.
"It's Willow. She's in a coma."
Okay, I know it's kind of short, but that's because I need you guys to give me some ideas of what to write!
