About halfway to the hospital, Willow groaned, her eyes fluttering open. With a glance at the womans leg and the burns and bruises all over her, Tara was glad they had given her pain meds before they reached the hospital. Though even with them, Willow seemed to still be in pain. When her eyes were finally fully open, they flickered around the ambulance, slightly alarmed until they landed on Tara. Taras heart ached to see the alarm fade completely from panic, to warmth, love and relief. Willow murmured something sleepily and Tara leaned forward,
“Whats that sweetie..?” A small smile lit Willows face as she repeated it, her voice weak, but louder than before.
“..You didn’t leave me..” Tara placed a gentle kiss to her forehead, ignoring the look the paramedic gave her.
“Never. You’re stuck with me.” Willow closed her eyes blissfully after the kiss, her smile growing.
“Good…”

Once they got to the hospital, they were quickly brought to a room. Tara had to answer some questions while they transferred Willow into a bed, asking Tara to get her into a gown, saying they would be back soon. Getting Willow into a gown was harder than it sounded, since she was so weak she could barely lift her back off the bed, but after a good 15 minutes, they got it. A little bit later, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Tara called, silently scolding herself in case it had been a vampire. But it was only a doctor - Well, she hoped it was only the doctor.
“Willow Rosenberg?” Willow could barely lift her head off the pillow at this point, and her face was pale and slightly green. Tara saw this and nodded to the doctor, her voice desperate when she spoke,
“Please tell me you're coming to do something to help her, not ask me questions..” The doctor nodded with a sympathetic smile,
“I’ve come to take Willow for a procedure to get out the object in her leg, but for this procedure, we need Willow to be awake, so she can tell us if anything goes numb or such, so we dont accidently damage a nerve.” Willow whimpered a bit, so Tara took her hand, giving it a small squeeze. The doctor gave this gesture a small glance, smirking to Taras surprise before continuing, “Your um.. Friend.. Can come with you for support, if you’d like.” Tara looked back to Willow, her stomach flopping at her appearance again. Willow nodded shakily, squeaking out,
“Please..” The doctor nodded,
“Of course.” He moved to unlock the beds wheels, giving the iv bag to a nurse who had been standing in the doorway until now. Tara got up, following right by Willows side as she was rolled down the hall, not letting go of her hand.
“It’ll be okay.. I’ll be right there the whole time..” Even as they entered the room for the procedure, Tara didnt let go of Willows hand, until the doctor asked her to.
“Only for a little bit, dont worry.” He assured her, helping lift Willow onto a table, “Put your arms on those.. Good..” Willow panicked more when they strapped her arms and legs down carefully, “This is just for both yours and my safety, okay?” After a moment of staring at the doctor, Willow nodded. The doctor moved, waving to a chair next to Willows side for Tara. “Now, we’ve given you some pain meds, but this will probably still sting a little, but i need you to keep your leg still for me or I might mess up and hurt you, okay?” Willow nodded with another whimper, calming a little when Tara took her hand back. Her lip still quivered when the doctor pulled on gloves and a mask after scrubbing his hands, nurses coming to stand next to him, laying a blue paper with a square over the injured area on Willows leg.
“Look at me,” Tara instructed softly, squeezing her hand. When Willow still stared at the doctor, Tara repeated it a bit firmer, “Willow, Look at me. Look at me, not him.” Willow slowly turned her head to the side to look at her, eyes bloodshot and sparkling with tears. Tara gulped back her own tears, “Good.. Thats really good.” Tara could hear the doctor start to do something, and Willow yelped, “Shh.. Its okay Sweetie… I need you to be brave for me, and keep still, okay?” Willow gave a whine in response, tears slipping out of her eyes. “Can you do that for me?” After a second, Willow nodded, then whined again, gritting her teeth. “Squeeze my hand when it hurts, okay sweetie? I'm right here.” Willow sniffled and nodded again, wincing again. Tara decided she might calm down if she got her talking,
“Buffy and the gang are on their way too. They all really missed you.” Willow grimaced and squeezed her hand, but responded with a weak,
“They did..?” Tara smiled sadly, squeezing her hand back.
“Yes, we all did.” Another squeeze.
“Did.. Did.. you miss me..?” Tara bit back tears, risking a glance at what the doctor was doing, shocked to see him place a piece of bloody wood in a metal pan, going back to stitch Willow up. Tara looked back to Willow, smiling sadly,
“Most of all, Will… Most of all..” Willows eyes fluttered weakly as she appeared to fight sleep.
“You can go to sleep now, Willow.” The doctor instructed quietly, “We’re all done.” As Willow started to succumb to sleep, she responded to Tara with slurred words,
“I missed you too.. My.. Tara..” Tara finally gasped out tears, leaning her forehead against Willows.
“You did so good.. I'm so proud of you..” Then Willow fell asleep, a small smile on her face.

Ace went to the remains of the library, sifting through the rubble by the fence. It had to be here somewhere. Finally, he found a small, flimsy card. It had been far enough from the fire that it seemed untouched besides the dirt. Wiping the dirt off with his sleeve, he read the printed name.
‘Willow Rosenberg’
((In the last chapter by 'pulsing' I just meant it was badly inflamed, sorry for any confusion))
