********************

PART 11



My dearest Tara,



I can’t stop thinking about that night in my room… really had some potential. But it’s been two days since then and life just keeps on getting in our way. Yesterday, I was at school and afterwards my ever-missing parents decided to stop by and take me out for dinner. Today, you’re working a double shift but your boss will be there and I won’t be able to see you. So I figured a letter was a good way of getting my emotions out.

You are a Goddess, Tara, you truly are. Goddess of love and smut and Queen of my heart.



When you and Greg got back together, I thought I would die. It hurt that much. I’d like to say I’m a noble person and that I only want you to be happy… and the truth is that I do want you to be happy, but I think you can only be happy… with me. I’m babbling, even on paper, but I know you’ll understand.



I felt you even before I met you. It was like I was constantly aware of someone who is other part of my soul. And the moment we first touched, I knew that person was, and always will be, you.



I was so afraid you would be scared of these feelings and run away from me. You almost did.



Books were my best friends over the years and even Buffy couldn’t get me out of my imaginary but safe world. I felt so comforted there. But then I met you and I didn’t like my little world, cause it didn’t have you in it!



In only a couple of months you showed me how good having friends and hanging out with them feels. You brought me closer to Buffy and Xander.



My parents never really had any time for me. They were more strangers than parents. When Mrs. Summers took me in, I was already closed up from the world. Letting people in was never my strongest point, but you changed that. By letting you in I opened myself up to everyone. Now I have a family. Finally.



Remember when we first kissed? It was raining slowly and I remember being petrified. There I was though, trying to be a bad ass, and I was scared to death by the mere thought of kissing a girl. Although there was Buffy, but she wasn’t someone that I felt could complete me. You were never just a girl for me Tare, you were always that person that I knew I needed to love me, more than anything else in the world.



I’ll keep this letter short and simple. It occurred to me I never told you how I really feel about you and I thought you should know how much I love you.



                                                        Love,

                                                                Willow



P.S. I hope we’ll find some alone time soon cause I can’t get the image of your… er you out of my head…





********************************



My Willow- tree!



Honey, this letter thing is great. I hate this life that gets in between us. I’m glad you can’t get ME (not some parts of my body) out of your head and I’m sure I’ll soon be in much more exciting places than your head.



Anyway, every time I close my eyes I see you. And most of the times you don’t wear much. Not that I’m a sex maniac it’s just that… oh I don’t have an excuse really.

I can’t stop thinking about all the things I would do to you if I managed to get you alone.



Ok, I’ m back from my cold shower. Greg and I broke up. Or to be precise I broke up with Greg. He stopped by the other day and we had a really long talk. Our relationship just wasn’t working any more. Plus, I kissed you and I didn’t want you to think I’m just experimenting. I had to end everything between Greg and me if I wanted to have something with you. And I want us to have an honest relationship.



I know I’ve been acting like an ass, but I’m over it!



I won’t be coming out of the closet soon, but I’m finally comfortable with the fact that I’m attracted to you. And I have been for a while. It’s one thing feeling this, and other acting upon those feelings.



Now when I think back, I realize I fell in love with you that day when you gave me my first dance lesson. I remember feeling so uncomfortable with dancing, as usual, but then I felt your body against mine… and everything was wonderful. The way you move is like a divine song. And being part of that song, even if it was just through you, is like being part of eternity. First I thought it was because of the dance but now I know it was because of you. I felt the same way in your room the other night. Like I belonged to you and you belonged to me. And that’s all that matters.



Isn’t it strange how you bring out the best in me?



Since I had some time to think during last couple of days, I’ve made some decisions. You’re graduating this year and that means you’ll be going to college in fall. Last year when I graduated we didn’t have any money, so I never got an opportunity to go to college. Even now I’m working so Astra and then Sam can go. But I was wondering… would you mind if I also started college this year? I know it would take a lot of adjusting and all but… For the last couple of years I’ve felt obliged to take care of my family and I still wanna do that. But I want to go to college. I want to live like the rest of the kids my age.



I have to get Sam ready for school now and give this letter to Astra so she can give it to you.



Have a good day at school sweetie and I’ll be seeing you soon.



                                                Love you,

                                                        Tara

[Shadow]

Cause I've been to England couple of times I can't really blame Rachel for choosing to spend some time in the sun (and as a graduated ecology technician I suggest SPF 30 before going outside).



Anyway... here comes Part 12 but Part 13 is kinda not finished since I kinda spend last couple of days on the beach

I can't help it. My friends kidnapped me and made me enjoy sun and sea and ice cream...





PART 12



Willow was ecstatic. She was heading home after school, still filled with the warmth that Tara’s letter had awoken in her. Engrossed in her own world, she never noticed the blonde girl creeping up on her. Suddenly, the redhead halted and abruptly turned around.



“Tara!”



Before anything else could be said, the girls jumped into each other’s arms, and held on like they hadn’t seen each other for years. Tara was the first to pull back.



“Oh Willow I missed you so much!” She mumbled before slowly kissing Willow. But the redhead had been waiting too long for the blonde’s touch, so when Tara pulled away, she swept her into a more passionate embrace.

Quickly assessing their situation, Willow happily concluded that they were only a couple of minutes away from her house, and she knew that her parents were in Europe. Tugging on Tara’s hand, she pulled them both in the direction of the house. She never did figure out how they’d managed to get to the house. All she could see and feel was Tara. She unlocked the door, and quickly kissed her girlfriend Is she my girlfriend? before pulling them both inside and closing the door behind them.



As soon as the door closed Willow pulled Tara’s shirt off and threw it aside. Following the redhead’s example, Tara grabbed onto her shirt and soon it lay on the other side of the room. Taking some time to kiss, the two girls hugged each other and giggled softly.



“This is so nice.”



Tara pulled back, and grinning wickedly, she tugged on Willow’s skirt.



“ Just nice?”



Pulling her hands back, she slowly unzipped her pants and stood in front of the redhead wearing only her bra and panties. Feeling her jaw hit the floor Will once again reached for blonde’s hand and headed towards her parent’s room.



“ Way more then just nice.”



Getting rid of her own skirt, Willow kissed Tara in the doorway before pushing her to the bed. The blonde fell on the bed, and was surprised when she bounced slightly.



“ Waterbed? Why Willow, isn’t this nice?”



Grinning, Willow jumped onto Tara, placing her legs on the bed and leaving Tara in between them. Lowering her head, she nibbled on the blonde’s neck before kissing her.



Teasingly, she echoed the blonde’s earlier words.



“Just nice?”



*                 *                                *



The doorbell rang, and Astra reluctantly got off the couch to check who it was. Dad was at work, and Sam had gone to bed so when she opened the door she was expecting to see Tara, but instead found a familiar brunette grinning from ear to ear.



“ Hey there younger star girl! How’s it hangin’?”



Astra jumped on the other girl, hugging her and laughing uncontrollably.



“ Faith! I can’t believe you’re here! Tara will be so happy to see you!”



Closing the door, the two girls entered the living room and Astra motioned for Faith to sit down.



“ Glad to see you too squirt! So where’s big star?”



Smiling softly at Faith’s nickname for her older sister, the blonde teen sat next to the girl who had given her her first pair of leather pants.



“ She went to see her friend. And, you were right- She is gay.”



Shrugging Faith just nodded.



“ It’s written all over her. She getting laid as we speak?”



It was Astra’s turn to shrug. Tara ad told her she was going to see Willow, but when she’d tried to interrogate her further, Tara had just smiled and left.



After a couple of hours of talking and laughing, Astra remembered why she liked having Faith around. No one she knew was so casual and impulsive.



They’d first met when Tara started High school. Shy as she was, she hadn’t made any friends and was surprised when Faith sat next to her in the library. They’d hit it off immediately, and soon they were best friends. And Faith wasn’t just Tara’s friend. She made sure that each of the Maclay girls knew that they were special to her. Sam adored her, and the three of them used to skate together, while Tara watched them. They were happy times. Before Mom and Adrienne died. And even then, Faith had been nothing but supportive. But after they graduated, Faith had decided to head to L.A. with her new band. Astra was sure that she would join her when she graduated. If she thought about that time, she thought she could hazily remember Tara thinking about leaving with Faith, but she couldn’t be sure of it.



Soon they were lying on Astra’s bed, sleepy, but unable to stop talking.



“ Why did you leave me?”



Faith was playing with blonde locks and she sighed when question hit her.



“You cut your hair.” She was stating the obvious, but it brought a cloud of silence over them. Faith never let go of Astra’s blonde tresses, and never avoided the gaze of the blue eyes studying her face thoughtfully. This used to be their routine. Faith would avoid answering questions, and Astra saw right through her.



“ I was depressed. This was my way of dealing.”



Turning onto her back, Faith showed that Astra’s words stung her. Before Faith had left, Astra’d had long hair that she’d loved more than anything. And now Faith thought that she was responsible for Astra’s decision to get rid of it.



She closed her eyes, feeling the tears well. Suddenly, she felt pressure on top of her.

“It’s not your fault. And it’s not that bad this way is it?”



Opening her eyes, Faith smiled. Astra had shoulder length hair but unlike Tara’s, her hair wasn’t straight. It almost looked exactly like Faith’s, except for the color. Unnable to hold back Faith reached for it once again.



“ It’s lovely.”



They again lapsed into silence, but a comfortable one this time. Faith was stroking Astra’s hair, and Astra was rubbing the brunette’s belly, and they were once again falling into what used to be routine. Afraid to break the spell, but unable to hold it, Astra broke the silence.



“ What are we doing Faith?”



The brunette answered by placing her lips on Astra’s and kissing her deeply. When they pulled apart, Astra grinned.



“ I think that’s the first time you didn’t try to completely avoid my question”



Taking hold of the younger girl, Faith rotated them, pulling Astra underneath her.



“First time I liked the question. You have any more of those?”



Astra looked at her, confused.



“Questions?”



Faith cast her an annoyed look before giggling.



“ Hell NO! Kisses. You have any more of those?”



The blonde answered by kissing her.



                *                        *                        *



Willow woke up when the sun fell on her face and for a moment she didn’t remember where she was. But then last night came back to her, and she blushed. Looking around, she realized she was snuggled up to Tara. Almost unspeakable happiness filled her, and she just had to attack Tara with shower of kisses.



The blonde relaxed in her sleep, and slowly started to wake up. When blue eyes finally opened, the first thing they saw was a pair of green orbs.



“ I had this most amazing dream where I made love to you and then you woke me up with kisses,” the blonde murmured.



Willow giggled, kissing Tara on the forehead.



“ Honey, that wasn’t a dream.”



Tara pulled back in surprise, before shaking her head.



“ No. It’s impossible to do that all night.”



Willow smiled innocently.



“I’m a one-orgasm girl.”



Willow shook her head, laughing hard by now.



“ You’re a multiple orgasms girl now.”



Tara blushed. Then grinned. Then kissed Willow before pulling her under the sheets and making the redhead gasp. This was turning out to be a great morning.



                        *                *                *

Sparky: You destroy everything I believe in when it comes to having sex with guys.

Me: I'm sorry.

Tina: No, you're not.

PART 13



Willow opened the door to the house her parents lived in. Funny how over the years she stopped calling it home. This morning her father called hoping she could stop by that afternoon. Truth be told Willow would rather spend some time with Tara, her goddess, or meet this Faith Astra kept talking about. But it sounded like something serious happened and Willow was a little worried. Walking through the house on her way to her father's office she couldn't help but remember weekend Tara and her spent here. There was no place in the house Willow could look at and not blush. She still had to figure out how to keep a straight face while looking at her father behind his desk. Desk on which she loved Tara. Her Tara. With beautiful golden hair and sea blue eyes. And full soft lips that felt like fire against her own. And that hands that knew all the right places to touch. And those breasts... Willow lost her thoughts when she walked right into closed doors.



- Willow?- her fathers voice came behind the door and Willow failed to get up before he saw her there. Looking surprised he smiled fondly to her. - Do they not have doors at Summer's house? Honestly Willow didn't anyone taught you that you need to open the door before you come in? Grew up on the boat?



Pulling herself off the floor Willow glared at him. - Well my parents failed to teach me anything. You wanted to see me?



Completely ignoring her words he motioned with his head for her to come in. Rolling her eyes she obliged. He sat behind his desk and she tried to keep her eyes everywhere but on the desk.



- We have an important thing to discuss. About our family.



Willow glared at him once again and lowered herself in the chair. Talking about family meant she was about to hear of his newest affair. She got used to it over the years. Her mother made sure that her father told Willow about all of his affairs. Sheila Rosenberg as a child psychologist thought that the child should be aware of all that happens in his or her family. Willow hated it. It was constant contest about who could humiliate who more.



- Yes father?



Her voice was cold and she knew he was very aware of it even when he choose to ignore it.



- Couple of years ago I had an affair. - He stopped for a moment and looked at her. - Don't look at me like that!



Willow smiled falsely and he continued.



- Anyhow this woman ended up pregnant. She died two weeks ago and they are coming to live with us.



For the first time in her life Willow was speechless. Not sensing her distress he continued.



- I would like you to spend more time here at first so that someone is always here for them.



Finally coming around Willow lifted her gaze. -Them?



Her father looked at her like a teacher unhappy with his student. - Yes. Them. Twins. I believe they are called Evan and Jessie.



When the first shock wore off Willow warmed up to the idea of having siblings. She always wanted her parents to have another child.



- Boys or girls?



Once again Ira Rosenberg looked annoyed with his daughter.



- How should I know? I never saw them before. Well before you ask anything more could you pick them up tonight from the airport? I have something other to do.



Willow just nodded not sure what she should think or say.



                        *                        *                        *



- How will we know who they are?



Willow asked Tara while they were waiting on the airport waiting for the plane to land. Blonde hugged Willow and smiled.



- How many 6 year old twins are going to come with plane from New York?



Drowning in embrace Willow giggled.- Now why didn't I think of that?



- That's cause you have a lot to think about. - she softly whispered in the redheads ear nibbling it softly.



Pulling out of the embrace Willow looked thankfully at her girlfriend. - How am I going to pull this off? I know my parents! This kids will be my kids I'll have to take care of them. I can't do that! I'm 18 years old.



- You have me. And Mrs. Summers. And Buffy. And Xander. I did this once remember? I know how to do this. There's no thing we can't do together.



Willow smiled for the first time thinking that she could actually make this work. If her friends help her this shouldn't be too hard. She had Tara's support and that was all she needed. She was about to say something when speaker informed them that the plane from New York has landed. Looking patiently at the gate soon they noticed flight attendant with two little girls.

Tara couldn't help but grin when she saw the girl on the left side of the flight attendant. She had shoulder length red hair and wore t- shirt with kitty on it. There was a sad look in her eyes and Tara knew this was a very special girl. But Willow's eyes fell firstly on the girl on the right. Though her hair was the same length it was much darker, probably black. She was wearing blue long sleeve shirt and black t- shirt with three little aliens on over the first one.

Black haired girl looked at Willow and pulled flight attendant and her sister towards her.



- You are Willow. - she addressed the redhead with childish sureness.



Willow kneeled next to the child and offered her her hand.



- I am Willow.- girl accepted hand offered



- I'm Evan.- turning to her sister she tilted her head in hers direction.- That's Jessie.



Little redhead just smiled faintly in Willow's direction and looked up at Tara. Blonde girl couldn't help but notice that her eyes were same green colour as Willow's. Lowering down she looked closely at the girl.



- I'm Tara Jessie. - turning around she shook hands with Evan smiling at girls seriousness.



- Come on- Willow said taking Evan's hand- Let's get your stuff and go home.



Evan followed but Jessie stayed behind. Noticing this Tara motioned to Willow to go on and picked Jessie up in her arms.



- Are you o.k. Jessie?- she asked little girl in her arms.



- I miss my mama. - little green eyes were full of tears and Tara's heart broke. - You miss your mama too.



Her head shot up and she stared at Jessie before girl raised her hand and put it on Tara's cheek.



- I can see you.



Tara smiled and leaned closer to the little head. - And what do you see?



- Her.- Jessie spoke and raised her hand at Willow's direction. Tara followed little arm and when her eyes met Willow's she grinned.



- Yeah. You kinda do.
