"Charging to 300. Clear," Dr. Corday continued to try and bring him back.
Again she tried, "Charging to 360. Clear!"
After this attempt one of the nurses said, "Normal sinus." (in other words his hearts beating)
"Good job everyone we got him back," Corday sighed.
The whole time Faith had stood there with silent tears running down her face. Since she had not made any movements or noise the doctors and nurses had forgotten to ask her to step outside. When Corday saw her she explained to Faith that everything was okay now.
Again Faith just nodded. She wondered how this could be happening to her, to Robin? He was a good guy; he fought to save the world and this was how the world paid him back. Faith turned to Dr. Corday, "Is he brain dead? I mean like is he in a coma or will he wake up?" Faith feared that he would be in a comma like she had been, except he didn't have slayer healing powers so he might never wake up.
"We don't know right now, and I don't want to have to say this to you but his chances don't look good. He just went under extensive surgery and had heart failure. The shock may not have been good for him," Dr. Corday answered her. She had a concerned look on her face. She did not want the girl to go through suffering but she had to ask her a final question. "I'm so sorry Faith but I have to ask you one final question, if Robin here goes into heart failure again do you want us to take heroic measures to save him or would you rather sign a "do not resuscitate order?" Faith do you know what that is?"
Faith shook her head to imply that she didn't know. Dr. Corday kept talking but Faith only half listened to her. As she looked at Robin she wanted to scream. How could he have been right? Somehow he had known that he wasn't going to live. Faith immediately shook that thought away. He is going to live she thought; he hadn't died yet, at least not for good anyway.
!*!*!
Faith went back to the hotel and found Buffy I the lobby just sitting there. Faith felt sorry for her, at least Robin was still alive for her. Buffy didn't have anything, Spike was dead and she couldn't do anything about it. That's when the thought came to Faith, she would ask Angel to bring Spike back like Wolfram and Hart did with Darla. She didn't know that Buffy had realized he was in a happy place and that she n o longer wanted to bring Spike back, Faith had just thought it was because Buffy was afraid to ask Angel. Faith looked at Buffy once more before heading off to find Angel. She thought that this would not only make things up between them but it would also bring happiness to Buffy.
The whole time Buffy had been sitting there she had not once thought of Spike, her thoughts had been on Dawn and also Willow. Faith hadn't come over to talk to Buffy so she had just assumed that Buffy was sad because of Spike. Buffy had begun to have a new dream at night. Spike was now in a happy place and she no longer felt the same need for him. Don't get me wrong she still missed him and wanted him back but now she was also concerned for Spike and knowing that he was happy helped her let go.
Buffy got up and walked put into the sunshine. She took a deep breath and started her day. This had become her daily ritual; she would walk outside and look around, take a deep breath and start a new day. She would tell herself that she needed to move on and get on with her life. Buffy decided to go shopping that day, when she couldn't be patrolling she would blow off her steam by shopping. She went to at least twenty different stores and bought something at almost every store. She bought everyone something, including all the other slayers.
When she thought of all the slayers that Willow had "activated" Buffy wondered if she would have to go out and find them. She had thought about giving up her duty as a slayer but she realized that she could never do that. She was still the most experienced Slayer that was alive and she had to help who she could. With this idea Buffy had become excited for a while. Maybe she could hold seminars or something like that for all the slayers. After she finished shopping Buffy decided that she would go talk to Giles to do something like that. She would build her own version of the council to help out all the Slayers in the world. Maybe more experienced Slayers could help newer and younger Slayers like Watchers had done in the past. Buffy was so pleased with her idea that she was very close to skipping.
As she ran into the hotel happy she saw many sad faces and a sobbing Faith. At first she didn't know what had happened, she just looked around at everyone. Than Dawn came over, "Buffy, it's Principal Wood, he got worse. Faith said something about the doctors finding out that he really was brain dead and that he was on life support. They want to take him off life support and give up his organs to help others and Faith doesn't know what to do she's been crying like that for the past twenty minutes."
Buffy let out a sigh of relief, she had thought that Robin had died. When she thought about it she realized that he was already pretty much dead. Buffy's heart surged with sympathy for Faith, she had to make the decision of "killing" Robin or not. Buffy didn't thinks he would ever have been able to do a thing like that. Even though Buffy still did not particularly like Faith she went over to her and put her arms around her.
"Come on, lets go upstairs," Buffy said as she helped Faith to her feet. Faith just nodded and followed along. She had stopped sobbing and now tears were just running down her face, she felt numb and she couldn't do anything. Buffy walked her over to her bedroom and got Faith a cup of water. She sat with her for an hour and didn't say anything. Finally Faith spoke up.
"You know you don't have to stay with me," she whispered.
"It's okay. I want you to know that I'm here for you okay."
Faith nodded and looked at Buffy. She had talked to Angel right before she had gone to the hospital. After convincing Angel that Spike was a good person and for Buffy's sake he needed to be brought back Angel agreed he would look into a way to bring him back. Faith made Angel promise not to tell Buffy and that it was surprise for her.
"Do you think I should give up his organs so he can help other people?" Faith asked.
Buffy was afraid that Faith would ask her that question. She did not know how to answer that one. It was Faith's choice and it was what she believed in her heart that would answer that question. So she told Faith that she had to make that decision herself. This made Faith start crying even harder, "What if can't make that decision? What if I make the wrong decision? I could kill him right before he was about to come back or I could just let him keep living until his organs won't be good for anything anymore. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Robin tried to talk to me about this once but I stopped him. Somehow he knew this was going to happen. He knew he would die."
"Stop right there Faith, he's not dead yet and he still has a chance at living. I'll tell you one thing though, don't let go of him until you are ready. Do you understand? Do not let him go until you are ready yourself. If you let him go to soon you will regret it for the rest of your life," Buffy's voice trailed off and she thought about Spike wondering if things would have been different if she had let Angel stay and were the medallion thingy (not sure what it was) or if she would feel better in her heart if she had told Spike earlier what had happened. She wondered a lot these days but she looked at it in a happier perspective knowing that Spike was happy.
Faith could not possibly know what Buffy was thinking even though she was right at thinking that Buffy was thinking about Spike. To Faith Buffy seemed sad and as if she wanted to bring Spike back, not for him to stay in a happy place. This automatically made Faith feel better knowing that she was helping Buffy. Faith looked up and her tears stopped a small smile playing on her lips.
"Thanks for helping me B, I'll pay you back somehow." Secretly she thought, "I already have and you're going to be thanking me soon."
Buffy just smiled and looked at Faith. She gave the friend she had just gotten back a hug. Maybe Faith wasn't as bad as a person as Buffy thought. She did have feelings for others and Robin had helped her a lot. As Buffy walked out of Faith's room she had a big smile on her face. She had just mended a friendship and she felt lucky for having done so. For weeks she had wanted to be friends with another Slayer. Someone who knew how she felt and with this came an ear to listen and a heart that would care.
TBC.
I know, I know it's a short chapter and all I'm sorry but I've been really busy. I went to an Evanescence concert up in LA yesterday! Oh my god it was so good, Evanescence rocks I've never had so much fun in my life. There were some freaky people there though that dressed up like Amy and it was kind of scary but it was still a good concert. So I always remember I was sitting in Log 20, Row A, seat 8!! I loved it and I'm gonna go to another concert soon. I went to the premiere of the movie Freaky Friday today (haha) my friend got some free tickets. So anyway sorry about not updating lately, I was busy as u can see and I couldn't really think of what to write. Some ideas would be nice to.can you tell me what you want to happen if you think Robin should die or not. Anyway I've written enough.
After this attempt one of the nurses said, "Normal sinus." (in other words his hearts beating)
