Willow's heart was pounding rapidly in her chest as she stood there 
staring at the brunette. She could barely believe her eyes it had 
been three long years since Faith had sacrificed herself at 
graduation so they could defeat the mayor. Three years of hospital 
visits and praying to the Goddess , but now it had finally happened, 
her Faith had come back to her.

Willow careful reached out and brushed her hand against Faith's 
cheek, afraid that it was all an illusion, that if she moved to 
quickly it would all fade away and she would find her lover still in 
a comma.

Faith let out a deep sigh as she felt Willow's tender caress across 
her cheek, she took her lovers hand and kissed each of her 
fingers, "Red, I missed you so much, God just to see you again, just 
to tell you how much I love you, it's everything to me."

Tears of Joy filled Willow's eyes as she took Faith in her arms and 
held her tightly, there hearts beat as one and time seemed to stand 
still as they embraced, so many years had been lost since Faith had 
used herself as bait at graduation.

"Promise you won't ever leave me again," Willow whispered into Faiths 
ear.

"I won't ever leave you again," Faith replied sealing her promise 
with a kiss.

"I missed you so much, God Faith I love more than ever."

"Same here Red, I think I would have gone mad if you hadn't came and 
talked to me everyday."

"You could hear me?"

"I could hear everything, I just couldn't reply," Faith sobbed.

"That must have been awful, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be, I knew the chances when I pretended to side with the 
mayor, I knew the chances when he found out I had betrayed him, and I 
sure as hell knew what was my odds where when I lured his ass into a 
school wired with explosives, but I had to do it."

"Why, why did you have to do it, we could have found another way."

"There wasn't another way and I couldn't risk having you get hurt in 
the fight, it was the only way I could know you where safe Red."

Willow squeezed Faith as tightly as she could and passionately 
embraced her, "God how I love you."

Willow and Faith's embrace was broken by the sound of a male clearing 
his throat, the two lovers truend around and smiled at the watcher.

"I got the last of the paper work cleared up," Giles stated, "so we 
can get out of her now."

"Thanks, G man," Faith replied as she picked up her backpack of the 
hospital bed and wrapped her other arm around Willows waist.

"Uh Faith, sweetheart.."

"Yeah love."

"We have to take you out of her in a wheel chair, it's hospital 
policy."

"That's nuts, I'm a slayer I don't need a chair," Faith exclaimed.

"It's policy, "Willow answered putting in her best resolve 
face, "could you do it for me?"

Faith looked at Willow and new there was no way she could resist her 
lovers charms, "I'd do anything for you but I have one question.'

Okay, what is it?"

"Who's this Tara that has been coming with B to visit me, cause from 
what I heard why I was out of it they seem to be really into each 
other."

"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it after."

"After what?"

"After I get you back to my place and we catch up on a little lost 
time," Willow replied with a mischievous grin."


The End
