"So, Mrs Summers how are you feeling today?" He asked as he walked in her hospital room.
"My head's a little sore, but I was expecting that" she said placing a hand to her temple.
"We were too" he smiled at her, to help ease her pain. "I'll get you something to help with the headache." He moved around to the end of her bed and looked at her charts.
"No, I don't want anymore medication. I'll tell you what I do want, I want my daughter. Is she here?"
Ben again, walked around to the right side of her bed and wrote down her obs. "You're in luck, I believe she just walked in. I'll go get her." He smiled and walked to the door.
"Wait a second Ben". Ben stopped, and turned to her. "How do I look?"
"Beautiful as always" he smiled, and walked out, bumping into someone.
(OOC- Was given permission by Buffy to say that she was here)

Blinking and walking into the room, Dawn smiled seeing her mother and couldn't help but be relieved that she was up and around. Smiling at Ben and trying to appear calm, she looked back at Joyce "Mom...you always looked beautiful..."
Setting her backpack on one of the chairs, she shrugged "Buffy should be in soon...I just wanted to come see how you were doing." Looking down and remaining a couple feet from the bed, she remembered how sick her mother became and sighed then looked back up at Joyce, brushing her hair back from her eyes "How are you doing? W...what did the doctor say?"

Buffy was in the bathroom and made sure her tears were gone from her cheeks before entering the hospital room. It wouldn't help her mother if she walked in a blubbering mess, possibly making her feel worse or guilty and that's not what Joyce needed right now. Taking a deep breath, she pushed away from the mirror and walked out of the bathroom, making her way to Joyce's room.
She had her head down, preparing herself to be brave, for her mother if not for herself. That's how she found herself bumping into someone and her head shot up, an apologetic expression in place.
"Oh... Ben, hi." She smiled weakly and ran a hand through her hair in anxiety. "How is she... is she okay?" Buffy asked him quietly, so Joyce wouldn't hear. She could hear Dawn in there with their mother, so there was a huge chance Joyce hadn't heard her ask.

Joyce had to look at Dawn twice, something unusual was surrounding her, it was an attractive green and yellow glow. Joyce tried to reach out to her, but couldn't just far enough, whenever she got close enough it would move away. "The Key" she said breathlessly.
"Oh Buffy" he greeted her, "sorry for bumping you... I mean bumping into you" he smiled nervously, Ben wasn't sure what it was but every time he saw her, he would begin to stutter and become breathless. "She's doing great, the best she's been in a long time, Dawn's in with her now. She was asking for you by the way. So I think you should go be with her, she needs her family" he smiled at her, and he noticed the tear stains on her cheeks.
"Are you okay?" He asked, placing a hand on her shoulder for sympathy.

Blinking Dawn furrowed her eyebrows as she saw the strange expression on her mother's face. Seeing her reaching out to her, Dawn smiled and started to move toward Joyce then frowned, hearing what she said. "Mom...you okay? What do you mean? What's the key?"
Thinking that her mother was having a relapse, she turned toward the door, hearing Buffy and Ben outside and bit her lip thinking about getting them. "I...I'll be right back Mom...promise...I'm gonna go get Buffy..."
Moving out into the hall, she looked down and swallowed deeply. That had happened to her once before but she never told anyone about it. She didn't want to bother anyone with it. Looking back at the door to her mother's room, she couldn't help but worry about Joyce then turned around and looked at Buffy and Ben. "Hey, I...I was just coming to look for you Buffy."
Looking at Ben, she smiled a little then noticed the look on her sister's face. Closing her eyes and swallowing again, she felt crying herself but knew that she had to be strong. "M...mom's looking for you..." Furrowing her eyebrows, she looked back at Ben "You might want to check on her too Ben...she's saying something about a...a key?"

Since Buffy was too busy worrying about her mother and how her and Dawn would cope without Joyce, she failed to understand Ben's mistake. If she had, she would have laughed it off, not bothered with it, but her mind was elsewhere. Her head jerked up to look at Ben when he said Joyce was doing great. Her expression brightened a little and hope was shining through her eyes.
"Oh my God... that's..." Buffy put a hand to her mouth, overwhelmed with happiness. She opted to nodding after Ben suggested she should go in the room with her mother and sister so they could all be together.
After Ben showed her sympathy, Buffy looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Yeah, I am now. Thank you." Without thinking, she gave him a hug of gratitude. But then it was interrupted with Dawn coming out of their mother's room and Buffy immediately released him. Buffy walked up to her sister and put an arm around her shoulders. "It's going to be okay, Dawn."
She then frowned at Dawn's words and glanced back at Ben. "Why would she be talking about a key?" That dreaded feeling came back to her like a tidal wave and she realised she may have jumped on the hope wagon way too soon. With a brave smile to Dawn, Buffy added, "Let's go see her together."

Blinking Dawn tensed a little as her sister put an arm around her shoulder then looked away "Yeah..suppose it is..." Closing her eyes, she sighed then shrugged knowing that she should be more hopeful.
Looking back at her sister, Dawn tried to fake a smile then frowned as Buffy brought up the subject of the key. "I...I don't know...Mom...she was just talking about it...she got a weird look on her face when she saw me...and she mentioned something about a key..." Blinking, she studied her sister as Buffy put on a brave smile then bit her lip and nodded "O...ok..."
