Summary: Willow ends up in the hospital and that brings her and Tara closer together.
*********************************************
It was a cold winter's night when Willow was rushed to the emergancy room. Buffy and the whole gang rushed in behind the EMTs.
"What happened to your friend?" asked the head doctor
"We're not entirely sure." Xander replied
"We were all eating supper and then...." cried Buffy
"And then she just passed out." Anya added
The doctor thanked them for the information and walked back to where Willow was. The gang stood in the hall watching the nurses work on their friend. About 10 minutes later the doctor came back out and gave them good news.
"Your friend is going to be just fine, she just needs rest." explained the doctor
"Well, what caused her to pass out?" Dawn asked
"She hasn't been eating enough and she isn't getting the proper amounts of vitamins she needs. Basically she has been starving herself."
Thank-you doctor, may we go in and see her now?" asked Xander
"Yes but briefly."
Before they went into see Willow, Buffy decided that someone had to call Tara and let her know what was going on. Even if she and Willow were not together anymore Buffy thought she should know. Dawn offered to call Tara
"Hello, Tara speaking."
"Tara, it's Dawn."
"Dawn? What's the matter, you sound upset."
"Ummmm, Willow is in the hospital."
"What?"
"The doctor daid....listen I don't want to get into all the details on the phone. Come to the hospital and I'll fill you in please."
"I'll be right there." replied Tara
*********************************************
About 20 minutes later Tara was sitting by Willow in the hospital room. Willow was still asleep from the drugs she was given earlier.
"Can you hear me Will?" Tara asked "If you can I just wanted to tell you that I forgive you for your past mistakes and to say that you can't leave me."
Tara took Willow's hand in hers and placed a light kiss on the redheads forehead. Willow began to stir, and when she opened her eyes she saw the most beautiful sight ever. Looking up, Willow was met with bleu eyes and a beautiful face.
"Hey."
"Hi, sleeping beauty." Tara whispered
"How long have I been asleep?" "Wait, how long have you been here?"
"I've been here for about and hour."
"How...."
"Don't talk, you need your rest. I'll come back tomorrow."
With that said, Tara leaned over to place a kiss on Willow's cheek. At that exact moment Willow turned her head towards Tara and lips met lips.
"Ummm, I-I better go and let you get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
"O.K, Tara?"
"Yeah?"
"About what just happened..."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
