“Someone should stay with her.” Gabe growled belligerently, maybe to convince himself that it was for her sake and not because he was afraid she wouldn’t wake up.

Xander nodded, setting a hand on his son's shoulder. "You'll stay here, then? All night?"

Gabe shrugged his hand off. “No one else will.”

"She wouldn't be too happy to see me first thing in the morning, at least not till I talk to her." Xander said with a shrug. "But I've spent plently of nights sitting up watching her, and I'll be taking over that job again soon." he grinned slightly, looking at Cass instead of his son.

“…wha-“ Gabe started in a very small voice. “…What if she doesn’t wake up…?”

"She will." xander said knowingly. "Too damn stubborn to give up if living is what she wants to do."

Gabe nodded mutely, accepting this. “You leaving?”

Xander nodded as well. "After I tell Frank you're spending the night in here."

“Okay.” Gabe shrugged. “I don’t hate you.”

"I'm glad." Xander grinned, shooting one more look at Cass before turned back to the door, shutting it behind him and fighting down and urge to yell.
Gabe didn't hate him, and he knew what he had to do next.

Frank was sprawled over the armchair in his favorite position, arm thrown over the back and leg over the arm of the chair. He was still on the phone but not contributing much to the conversation, only muttering a few ‘yeahs’ and ‘uh huhs’, and looking rather bored.

Xander finally made it downstairs, grin long gone, standing in the doorway and waiting for Frank to acknowledge him.

Frank glanced up, pointing at the phone with his free hand and rolling his eyes.
“Yeah, sure thing, Mr.Tate. I’ll call you in the morning.” He heaved a sigh, closing the phone as he pushed himself off the chair. “Everything alright up there?”

"Gabe's spending the night in Cass' room." Xander said flatly. "I said he could, so I'd like if you let him..."

“He’s gonna be grumpy as hell in the morning.” Frank grumbled, waving his hand. “But, whatever, if you said it’s fine.”

"More grumpy than he is now?" xander said, a grin breaking out across his face.

“I take it you’ve never had the pleasure of being in the company of a sleep deprived six year old.” Frank responded dryly, blinking and narrowing his eyes. “Why the hell’re you so happy all of a sudden?”

"He doesn't hate me." Xander's grin widened. "He said it, even. My son doesn't hate me."

“Yeah,” Frank rolled his eyes. “I seem to remember telling you that.”

"It's different when he tells me." Xander's voice grew more serious though his grin remained. "Listen, I gotta have a tlak with my wife... I'll be back in the morning."
