I sighed and removed my glasses to clean the lenses..it was the one thing I was certain I couldn't do wrong

After hearing what Willow said, I couldn't help but think, can we get some good news for a chance, and stop with the I'm-so-tortured talk?

I felt bad for Willow, I really did. But, it could have happened to me, as well. Luckily, that wasn't the case.

Deep down inside my heart, I had a soft spot for Buffy. She's gotten me out of a lot of creepy situations. She saves people from the big bads of Sunnydale. I hope she's ok.

I walked up to stand next to Xander, and intertwined my hands with his, and lightly kissed him on the cheek. I knew this was probably hard on him. I gave his hand a slight squeeze.

"Willow, it's not your fault." I finally said, having fallen silent after what Giles had told me about Buffy.

"It's my fault, for moving here. If we hadn't moved, none of this would have happened. You'd all be safe and there wouldn't be a psycho vampire out there terrorizing you. So, you want to blame someone, blame me."

I was tired of all of this, and just wanted to be by Buffy's side, I need to make sure she's okay and keep her from being scared, she hates hospitals so much since her cousin died in one.

I hoped Giles got back soon. The more I sat here, the more I got depressed and worrisome. I held tears back as I sat there, gripping my plastic cup for dear life.

"J--Joyce"

I whispered softly

"If you hadn't moved here, both Xander and I would be dead or I would be love slave to a psycho robot, and to be honest..if I had survived that, I would still be alone all the time. Buffy is the only person other than Xander who even took a chance at being my friend...and you are like a mom to me, so please don't regret moving here."

I looked to Xander who was nodding in agreement.

[seerxander]

"What she said"

I said as I clung to Cordy's hand as if I thought she was gonna run away.

"You havent had the chance to meet my parents Joyce, but lets just say you are the mom I always wanted. Beside that, you have all the great snack foods..all we have is liquor at my house."

Ok did I really just say that? I need to go hide now.

[wesleywpryce]

I reach out and pat Xander's arm sympathetically. "We all have our crosses to bear with difficult parents." I tell him quietly.

[seerxander]

"are yours drunks?"

I asked a bit bitterly. I didn't really want to start the whole whose parents are worse game, I know mine would win, I just don't feel like it.

"Doesn't matter, its something you learn to live with, thatw as until I met Joyce."

[wesleywpryce]

"Ahem, no, but they were cruel in their own unique way Xander. I'm sorry you have had to endure that, I hope someday you will consider me a close enough friend to come to as well." I state, looking at my shoes.

[slaymomjoyce]

Buffy's friends are so sweet. And Wesley, reaching to Xander like that, was so nice. I was in a room full of good people. That made me feel a little better.

"Thank you. All of you. It means a lot that Buffy has friends like you at her side." I whispered. Then I laughed a little.

"You know, it used to be the worst thing that could happen when you had a child is that they would turn out exactly like you. They sure didn't know about slayers, did they?"

I sighed, leaning back in my chair, drinking the rest of my tea. I would have to accept this slayer life of Buffy's no matter how much I hated it. But that didn't mean I had to be okay with it right now.

"So..." I said, focusing on the person who had put my little girl here. "What is going to be done about this Angelus? He has to be...he has to be stopped before he hurts or kills anyone else."

[eternally_ozs]

I sighed

"The plan is to resoul him."

I whispered and got a look from Joyce.

"Its more punishment for him than killing him, death is final, where as living with a soul remembering the pain he caused and having it cause him pain in return is punishment."

[wesleywpryce]

I frown. "Are you sure? The Council clearly states that all vampires should be staked. You can see that having him run around with a soul, pretending he was a man, has done nothing but cause grief and destruction. Perhaps it would be a small mercy to everyone involved if he was put down."

[eternally_ozs]

"You arent the one he raped and tortured and nearly drained. I know what I am talking about and when Angel was souled he was a good man...he can be that again, and its more pain and I want him to suffer."

I said the last part loudly and firmly. I wasn't about to let him off easy

[seerxander]

"I am with council boy here."

I said softly

"Dead boy should be killed and I for one will be there to watch if not be the one staking him."

[wesleywpryce]

I bite my lip, not wanting to get into Willow's obviously painful ordeal too much. It's certainly not my place to try and tell her how to feel. However, I can't help but think that Angel being dead solves a lot of issues here in Sunnydale. I push my glasses up on my nose. "How exactly would you prevent Angel from reverting to Angelus and causing more mayhem? It's a huge risk. Xander obviously feels the same way, what about everybody else?"

[frisky_watcher]

"I know how I feel, I feel this is an inappropriate time to be discussing this."

I said as I returned to the waiting area. I then looked to Joyce to tell her what the doctor said.

"Joyce, you can go see Buffy now. She is in room 213 and for the moment they only wish you to be in there. As soon as she regains conciousness that could change."

I said softly as I sat next to her.

[cordiechase]

I look at Xander. "You will not be stalking anyone", I whispered sternly. "I told you before, I don't want you hurt." I wasn't ready to lose him.

I'm still standing near Xander with my hand in his hands. "Giles, do you think she'll want to see us?", I said concerned.

[frisky_watcher]

I watched as Cordy scolded Xander and I had to admit that today I was thrilled to have her here.

"I think that for now it should just be her mum."

He spoke softly and with concern.
