---
Buffy Summers' pale figure lay in the hospital bed, her heart monitor beeping steadily. Angel was leaning against the wall, silently cursing himself for not being there for her. A couple of college guys caught her off-guard and beat her for her purse. They also took her cross. Angel found her later on that night, when he was out walking and immediately took her to the hospital. It was funny how the very people she protects every night would do this to her. Stupid bastards.
She suffers a severe concussion, some broken ribs, a fractured leg, and several cuts and bruises. The doctors aren't sure if she'll wake up.
Angel hears shouts and in come Willow, Xander, Oz, Giles, Cordelia, and Joyce Summers. Joyce runs to Buffy and starts sobbing, "My poor baby! My poor, poor baby!" over and over. Willow and Cordelia gasp and turn to their boyfriends at the same time. Oz and Xander hold them close. Giles was speechless. Here lay his slayer? Dying? No, it couldn't be true. All of a sudden Joyce moves over to a startled Angel and hugs him.
"Thank you for saving my baby," she whispers. Angel awkwardly hugs her back.
After an hour everyone slowly leaves but Angel and Joyce. The doctors allowed Angel to stay because he told them that he was Buffy's brother. They were skeptical at first, but Joyce confirmed it.
A nurse came in at about 2:00 am and told Joyce grimly, "I'm afraid your daughter's not going to make it through the night." She turned to Angel. "I'm sorry.
Joyce was frozen. Silent. Then she began to sob. Angel stepped in and hugged her, crying himself. All of a sudden they heard a small moan coming from the bed. Their heads shot up and Joyce and Angel rushed to Buffy's side.
"Buffy?" Angel asked, afraid he was dreaming.
"Angel? My head hurts," Buffy whimpered softly.
"It's a miracle!" the nurse cried. "I'll go get the doctor!"
"Oh, baby!" Joyce cried, hugging her.
Angel stepped in and kissed her. "The doctor said you wouldn't make it through the night," he whispered.
"Doctors," Buffy scoffed, "what do they know?"
