Over it


Introduction

I can remember some moments with her like it happened just a few moments ago , our time together was beautiful.
I had been with someone when I had met her , I was in love , or so I thought , then I met her , I met that beautiful blue eyed goddess and I fell , harder then I had ever fell before .
Things were amazing and oh so complicated all at the same time .
The person I was with had been with me since I was 17 , we lived together , we had two kids which were hers from a different marriage but I still loved them and still love them as if I gave birth to them , life was safe , it was good , things were hard , there was a lot of fighting going on , we didn’t seem to click anymore , but I wasn’t about to just walk away , the kids had already seen to much of that , but it was hard.
When I met Tara I was 21 , it was an interesting meeting actually , I was at the park with my kids and partner and bumped into her , said I was sorry and she just chuckled told me it was alright , I strangely enough ran into a few more times after that , we started to hang out more , we clicked , at first we were just friends , she would come over for dinner , she got along great with my kids and partner , all our friends chilled out with her they thought she was great .
But then my partner and I would be alone and things would be bad, we were always fighting , we didn’t agree on anything , it all came to a head at one point , a few months after my 21st birthday .
And we split up.
It was a serious break , I was done , she was done , we left each other on good terms though , I still get to see the kids .
Anyhow back to the point of my story .
I called her up Tara, I needed someone to talk to , and she was there , within a few months of meeting we became best of friends , and she was there for me .
We ended up going out a lot , spending a lot of time together.
I loved her , everything about her , her smile would make my heart beat , she kept me sane .
At some point our relationship turned from friendship to more then that , we got together one night after a long day and night at the bar, we went back to her place like we always did , I was getting ready to sleep on the couch and she told me to come into her room so I did thinking she wanted to show me something , she walked up to me and kissed me, Tara was beautiful , she was in a long teeshirt and nothing else .
My heart stood still , I didn’t breathe for a few moments , she told me to sleep with her , we didn’t have to do anything but just to hold her , she needed it tonight she didn’t want to sleep alone , so I did .
It was a beautiful night , the most calming night I had ever had .
We dated for a while , almost 3 months we were inseparable .
Always together , she spent time with me and my kids , we went to the park together and just had fun .
Life was good .
Then the dreaded day came that she had to go away to finish school, she was becoming a police officer you see and her training was about two days away.
We said our goodbyes .
With the intentions to see each other in a few months for her spring break , but as it drew closer , things got harder , she called me to let me know that she wouldn’t be able to make it home for the break , I was a bit upset and heartbroken.
But I got over it I figured I would get to see her in the summer , it seemed like forever away but as it drew closer , I got more excited.
Then she called me out of the blue one weekend to tell me she was in the city , that she wanted to see me , I said of course and within twenty minutes she was at my door step .
I was excited , I flew out the front door and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the look on her face .
I didn’t want to hear what was going to come out of her mouth , I didn’t want to hear it , I didn’t want any part of it .
So I stood there frozen as she walked up the stairs and stood in front of me , she softly put her hands on my shoulders , tears in her eye’s , and she said those words that I thought tore my heart out , I remember them like it was yesterday .

“Willow” she started softly , tears were behind her eye’s , and mine were instantly filled with tears as well , but I refused to let them fall , I knew what was coming “I met someone where I go to school” and my heart broke ever so slowly “after training is done I’m going to stay there and work” and then I stopped listening .

She leaned in and kissed me one last time , and it was a kiss I’d never forget , it was a goodbye kiss , not an I’ll see you some time , or an we’ll stay friends kiss , it was a goodbye , I’ll never see you again and I hope you do well in life kiss .
………………………

Well to say the least I was a wreck for a long time .

Tara you know she was older then me , by a few years too , I was 21 she was 27 , but the age gap never bothered me , my ex was 31 when I was 21 , so you know I was used to it , but I think it bothered her , I found out later on the person she had met was a man who was 28 , it fit her more , he had the same work she did.
It was easier for her to admit that she loved him then me I guess.
I don’t know I never had a chance to ask her.
After she kissed me that day she got in her car and I haven’t seen her again .

Well its been 4 years , I’m 25 now , and a lot has changed , I went back to school , now I’m a manager of a hospital , I don’t see my kids any more , my ex decided she wanted to move to a different country , so she lives far away , I talk to them sometimes on the phone now and then but it isn’t the same , we’re still friends though.. Which is good I guess.
I’m alone and most of the time extremely lonely , I’ve dated since Tara , but nothing to serious , nothing that means more then a one night stand .
But that’s okay I don’t’ need anyone in my life , its less complicated that way.
It’s been 4 years .
And I’m doing alright , even though a day hasn’t gone by that I haven’t thought about her , I’m still doing alright.

Or at least I thought I was until I saw her for the first time in what seems like forever .

Life is like that ..

Chapter 1

~~~

I saw her that day , I was walking down the street on my way home from work and did a double take , I swore it wasn’t her , it couldn’t be her , she didn’t live in this city anymore , it had been 4 years and I hadn’t seen her so why now ?
Why now that I was fine , that I was safe and over her ?
I rolled my eye’s at my own thoughts , isn’t that always the way , you think you’re okay , you’re safe and comfortable , and then something else throws you for a loop .

Life is like that I guess.

Well there she was , standing across the street , at the local café ordering a mocha , I smiled she always did love mochas .
I just stood there , I thought about going over to say hi , but I figured that would be pretty stupid .
She tore my heart out so many years ago , what would we have to talk about if I did stop to say hi?

Hi Tara how have you been since you treated me like I was just a piece of furniture , Oh really I’m glad life went great for you while I stayed in this town and turned into a lonely loner .

I chuckled at my own silliness .

So instead I just stood there , after all these years I had so many things planned , I practiced a million times if not more what I would say if I ever ran into her again .
But now that I had my chance I froze up.
Crazy isn’t it ?


Well me and my bright ideas , well they don’t work out so well most of the time .
And today my bright idea was to stop for a few moments and just watch her , I just stood there leaning against a nice silver car that was parked along the street .
My heart started pounding wildly as she stepped out of the café with her iced mocha in hand and walked towards the car I was leaning on , straight towards me , her was looking at me but she hadn’t noticed who I was yet , or she just didn’t remember , maybe I didn’t mean as much to her as she did to me .
I had changed a lot though , had dark short hair now , just above my shoulders I wore glasses thick dark frames, I was thinner if that was even possible .
I shook my head out of my own thoughts and looked up .
And there she was right in front of me giving me a very strange look.

She looked different too , her hair was lighter if that was possible , it was long and pulled back in a neat tight pony tail , she wore glasses too but hers had no frames they were sleek and neat just like her , she had on tight jeans with tears and holes all over them , and a black teeshirt , she looked good .
Being a cop did her well I’m guessing , she was ripped and toned in places I didn’t know you could be toned .
I looked her up and down not saying anything , she just stood there , it was about 5 seconds but it felt like twenty minutes .

“excuse me?” she said her voice strong and confident , something I hadn’t really heard in her voice before other then well we were together and alone in our bedroom.

“sorry” I mumbled and stepped off the car which I then realized was hers, typical eh? Decide to go and not talk to her and end up having to anyhow …

“Hey I know you” She said softly putting her hand on my arm I looked up into her eye’s and my heart skipped a beat .

Then her eye’s went large and her smile grew even larger she was beautiful “Willow?!” her voice was high and shaky , I could feel her hand shaking against my arm as well .

“that is me” I smiled up at her , but I felt as though my face was going to break so I ended up looking like a constipated frog.

“Oh god” Tara whispered , her voice fell slightly .

And I wondered what she was thinking .

“I was hoping to see you” And that is what she said next and I wondered why ? Why would she want to see me again ?
I have no idea but it couldn’t be to bad could it ?

“oh?” I said , words didn’t seem to be working well for me today .

“I moved back” She said slightly nervous , and that tough strong Tara I thought she had grown into was out the window in a blink of the eye .

“Oh that’s good I guess” I said trying to sound calm , I knew I had no chance with her but I did tell her years ago that maybe we could be friend no matter what , but I didn’t want that anymore .
I couldn’t be friends with her , I couldn’t’ do that , I don’t think.

“I was thinking it was” Tara sighed , I knew she had something to say but I wasn’t acting like I really wanted to hear it .

“ I guess , so how’s life been treating you?” I asked after few moments of very uncomfortable silence .

“Do you have some time?” she asked me , did I have some time ? I had nowhere to be , but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be there at that moment , then I finally looked at her , I looked into her eye’s and seen her nervous smile and I realized I didn’t want to be anywhere else at that moment .

“sure” I smiled and walked towards the café she followed closely behind me.

Good beginning...

[Shai]

Nice start! This fic seems different, but I really hope Willow doesn't forgive her too easily! Tara must've really broken Willow's heart, and I'd like to see her earn Willow's trust and respect again.

[will/tarajunkie01]

You've got a really good start going! I'm excited to keep reading.

The Talk

Chapter 2

Well we sat in silence for a few moments when I realized maybe I should go get something to drink , I looked at her mocha and noticed that it was half empty so instead of asking her I just figured I would get her another one while I was ordering mine.

“2 iced mochas with a vanilla shot in both!” I yelled a bit so I could be heard over the crowd of people in line .

I waited for a few moments , till our drinks were ready then I grabbed then and straws and headed back to the table where Tara sat and waited for me to return .

“So” She started nervously I looked up and smiled pushing her drink in front of her “thank you Willow” She grinned , she always did love her mochas, I nodded my head and just sat there ,she wanted to talk so I was going to let her do just that .

“so” she said again , I think she was trying to figure out where to start “you look good” she nodded like it had been the first time she had noticed I was in a custom three piece business suit , jet black jacket vest and pants with a bright red dress shirt under it .

“thanks” I smiled and smoothed my hands over my jacket unconsciously “I finished school” I started softly and looked up at her as I took a sip of my mocha .

“Oh good” she smiled , that was something she always wanted me to do , was to go back to school and at least get my high school done and out of the way “so what did you end up taking ?” she asked with a grin, she sat back slightly seeming to be getting a little more comfortable .

“Management” I nodded with a grin “I always liked bossing people around , now I’m the manager of the local hospital” I smiled , I was proud of my job , there was only one person that did what I did in our town , we only had one hospital ,and I was the manager for it , the one and only .

Her smile grew even wider , “ that’s amazing Willow I’m happy for you!” she wound up some how placing her hand over mine and I looked down , and I noticed there wasn’t a wedding ring on her finger .

“so how have you been , Marriage treating you well?” I said my voice polite but tinged with a slight sarcastic tone underneath and full of question at the same time .

“Actually it didn’t end up working out to well , I finished training and moved there , then I caught my so called partner cheating on me about a year after we got married , so its been three years now since I’ve been divorced” Tara stated with a lovely smile, though her eye’s were slightly clouded , I guess you end up getting what you give .

“Well umm sorry about that” I said as honestly as I could , even though I wasn’t really sorry she got divorced , but I was sorry she got hurt .

If there is one thing I would never want to happen would be for Tara to get hurt .

“I’m honestly sorry Tara , I never wished for you to get hurt” I looked her in the eye’s and that’s when I noticed that her hand was still covering mine she gave it a slight squeeze .

“it’s okay , it worked out for the best anyhow , I stayed and worked out my contract which ended six weeks ago , then I moved home , got a job at the local station” she smiled softly and left her hand where it was .

“well that’s good” I grinned and leaned back slightly picking up my mocha with my free hand and taking a sip.

“so how about you , are you single, married , what’s been going on in Willow world?” She asked smiling.

“well I’m single , always have been , never really seen anyone after you” I sighed , I didn’t want the conversation to turn into her and I , it was nice just chatting like we used to .

“Oh” she whispered and lowered her head slightly ashamed “sorry” she said again .

“Tara don’t be sorry , you had to do what you thought you had to do for you , I understand that , you followed your heart and even though it tore mine out you had to follow yours ” I said and my voice cracked a bit , I just wished her heart had of led her to me .

“to be honest Willow I don’t think I did , I think I left my heart here in SunnyDale” she said after a few seconds of silence .

I smiled softly and turned my hand in hers giving it a soft squeeze .

“so other then a divorce and job transfer what else is new in your life?” I asked wondering honestly what she had been up to for the last 4 years .

“humm I have a dog” she said with a raised eyebrow .

I just looked at her “that’s it ? All this time and that’s all that’s changed?” I chuckled slightly , she always did hate change “what type of dog and what’s its name?”

“well I’m not a fan of change remember !” she laughed and it was a sound I never thought I would hear again , it was the most beautiful thing in the world “she’s a lab her name is Zoey”

“this is true you never did” I laughed with her “pretty name“ I smiled then I bounced excitedly “Oh I got my tattoo that I always said I was gonna get !” I exclaimed and pulled my sleeve up showing her the cool star and moon tattoo on my wrists .

“oh wow” she smiled and ran her fingers lightly over the tattoo , it sent shivers through my body, it had been years since I felt a touch that soft , my heart was pounding a mile a minute and I swore she could feel it in my wrist.

She smiled knowingly and I knew she felt my pulse race she rested her fingers there for a few moments , and I enjoyed the feel of her hand on me .

“Just like you always said, you’d get it so you did” she shook her head “ I guess once your minds made up you keep it that way” she laughed and I nodded it was true , once I had made up my mind I kept it that way , never once I had changed it over the years .

“so what has your mind made up on the idea of you and I ?” she asked after a moment and caught me off guard .

I wasn’t sure how to answer that , what did she mean her and I , her and I as in dating again , or did I still love her or what, WHAT DID SHE MEAN! I was so confused , but I jumped and answered no matter what happened I had to answer so I did .

“I still love you Tara , you hurt me more then you could know but I never stopped loving you , trust you I’m not so sure anymore but the love is still there” I spoke slow for a moment making sure she heard everything I said so I wouldn’t have to say it twice .

“oh” she whispered , she looked nervous again and for a moment I thought I said the exact opposite of what she wanted to hear.

“I understand you can’t trust me again for a long time if you can ever trust me again at all” Tara whispered softly looking at our enjoined hands . “but I missed this , not a day went by that I didn’t think about you Willow” she sighed “I moved back here so I could try to run into you again , thinking maybe if you wanted we could possibly go out sometime” she asked softly and I thought I would die …

The words I had always wanted to hear again finally were spoken ..

“you know for some coffee maybe a movie or something?” she asked again , and I realized I hadn’t answered .

“if you missed this Tara why didn‘t you ever call me? Do you have any idea how much hell I went through trying to convince myself that it was for the best , that it would be alright in the end somehow, how finally just this week I had finally thought I had gotten over you !!” I shook my head slightly “I seen you today ordering your mocha and my heart hit the floor , I couldn‘t breathe , walk , move , my mouth wouldn‘t let me speak I wanted to scream and at the same time run but I couldn‘t all because of you!” My voice was raised slightly , I was hurt and hurting , and still the look on her face of regret melted me “I’m sorry” my voice was finally a hushed whisper “why didn’t you just call me to say you missed me?” I asked once more

“I was scared” she shook her head , a sad look in her eye’s “I knew I hurt you , and then of course things didn’t work out with the person I was with so call you and ask you if I could come crawling back ? How fair would that be to you?” she asked and I looked up , I had pulled my hands away and placed them in my lap she snapped back like she had been hit .

“how fair Tara? It would have been fine I would have told you to come home that I was here waiting for you” I couldn’t believe this was happening , finally I was getting it all out and to the person who caused the pain .
“I’ve still been waiting for you even after all this time”

“I’m so sorry Willow” she said and there were tears in her eye’s and that was when I realized that there were tears in my eye’s too , but I refused to cry in front of her , she had already been the cause of enough tears , it wasn’t going to happen again .

“4 years Tara” I whispered lowering my head , blinking a few times quickly to make the tears go away , yet they still stung behind my eyes .

“I know” Tara said her voice filled with regret .

“It was nice to see you Tara” I said as I stood from where I was seated across from her .

I was angry and hurt and if she really wanted a second chance then she would have to come after it , I refused to be the sad love sick puppy this time .

She watched me for a moment as I headed away from the table , I didn’t look back I refused , I walked out the door and down the street .

“Willow!” she yelled and I stopped and turned just in time for her to run dead into me .

“sorry” she whispered as I caught her and helped her steady herself.

“s’all good” I sighed , what did she want now , it was all I kept thinking I wanted so badly to take her in my arms and just kiss her but I wouldn’t , I wouldn’t do that to myself again .

“Willow” she said softly and smiled, “can I please give you a drive home ?” she asked and I was stunned

I laughed “all of that , you ploughed into me to ask if you could give me a ride home?” and she laughed with me .

“yes pretty much” she smiled from ear to ear .

“sure” I answered and we both headed towards her nice silver jag “by the way I meant to tell you earlier but nice car” I nodded and grinned .

Tara laughed “best part of the divorce” she winked and I burst into a fit of hysterical laughter

Thanks so much everyone for the lovely feedback , it makes me more then happy to post more of the fic ! so here is chapter 3 ! enjoy .


After the ride home.

Chapter 3

The ride home was quiet , I was upset still and she knew it , but she was trying , she wasn’t just going to let me walk away , which I guess was a good thing , but I needed some space to think , for years and years this is all I wanted , I wanted her to come home , come home to me , and she did, she finally did and I didn’t know what to do , I wasn’t sure what I honestly wanted anymore .

I loved her yes .
But I didn’t trust her not to tear my heart out again.
I guess if we started off as friends like before we would be able to build that trust .
That is what we talked about before I got out of her car .
Being friend’s I told her that’s all I wanted at this point in my life , she agreed that she would be okay with that , she said she had missed me to much to turn down ANY kind of relationship .
We smiled and said our goodbyes and exchanged numbers , then I went home .
Back up to my big airy loft in the sky.
I love my place , it was huge and open , it was an old warehouse , still had the steel doors that slid and everything .

I could think here , I could relax and just be me , though today I wasn’t even ten minutes and someone knocked on the door.

The pounding persisted for a few moments and I hollered across the room “I’M COMING !” I gritted my teeth thinking maybe it was one of those door to door sales people I slid the door open full force and there was my two best friends standing with grins on their faces and a case of beer in their hands .

I laughed “Hey Faith and Buffy come in” I stepped out of the way and let them walk through , I didn’t have to tell them to make themselves at home , they knew where everything was and were welcome to whatever they wanted .

“Hey Red” Faith grinned and wrapped her arms around me from behind , I couldn’t help but smile , Faith always made me feel better she was there for me every second when Tara broke my heart , and so was Buffy.

“We brought beer” Buffy poked her tongue out and gave me a big hug , it was almost like we hadn’t seen each other in years , yet we spoke and hung out only yesterday.

“yay beer is exactly what I need right now” I sighed and flopped down on the couch as Faith went to go get us all one and put the rest in the fridge .

“What’s up there cupcake?” Faith grinned as she walked back in passing us each a bottle .

“I ran into someone today” I whispered softly looking at the Budwiser in my hand .

“oh and who might this someone be?” Buffy asked bouncing like a kid that just got the worlds biggest candy bar.

I took a sip of my beer , well it wasn’t really a sip more like a chug then I told them “Tara” it was a soft whisper , just so hopefully they wouldn’t hear me .

“YOU WHAT?!” Faith said and spat her beer all over Buffy and myself , we both couldn’t help it , we burst out laughing , it was a reaction I wasn’t expecting at all .

“what the fuck does she want?” Faith said after trying to clean up her mess .

Buffy and I were still chuckling softly .
Then I cleared my throat to finish telling them what was going on “she wants friendship , hopefully more” I shook my head , this was almost like one of those extremely real twisted dreams .

“fuck that!” Faith spat , she hated Tara , she hated how she hurt me , and I was hoping that at some point Faith would give Tara a chance especially if we ended up being more then friends.

“easy tiger” Buffy calmed her girlfriend down a bit , rubbing her hand up and down Faith’s back , trying to sooth her slightly.

“it’s okay Faith we are taking it slow, I walked away at first I didn’t want to hear it at the time , but then she came after me , she drove me home and we talked a bit , we figured friends was a good place to start to see if we could rebuild the trust that I had lost in her.” I cooled them off quickly and took another large drink of my beer.

Things were crazy in my life , things were just nuts most of the time and it would be nice for once if people just got along.

“Well we are happy for you either way , but just be careful” Buffy gritted her teeth slightly I could see it , or more so hear it , I shook my head and chuckled .

“Well I’m not happy about this yet , she needs to prove her self and when I do get to meet her I get to give her a hefty warning !” Faith ground her teeth so hard I thought they might turn to dust .

I couldn’t help but smile and hug my dear friends .

Chapter 4
Same Day.

Buffy and Faith had finally gone home , not that I didn’t want them here but I really needed time to relax , time to think about today’s events .

I made a nice cup of tea and put on my fuzzy PJ’s , the ones I wore when I was sad or just needed a breather from the world , they were warm and comfy and they just made me feel safe , you know those type of PJ’s .

I threw a movie D.E.B.S. into the DVD player and sat back to relax and enjoy the movie , I didn’t have work tomorrow due to it being a Sunday wasn’t much going on, on Sundays so I figured I would just stay up late and fall asleep by the TV .

About twenty minutes into the movie I started to doze off , a soft rapping on my door brought me back to life , I looked at the clock and noticed that it was nearly 2 am and wondered who the hell it could be , Buffy and Faith hadn’t forgotten anything that I knew of and well none of my neighbors really spoke to me unless they were drunk or really needed to borrow something .

I slowly rose from the couch , wondering if I should just let the knocking persist or if I should just answer it and see what the hell the crazy person wanted .

I decided to see what the hell the crazy person wanted and I slowly lifted the hatch to see who was in the hall , but my height had always been a slight problem in this apartment , because I wasn’t tall enough to see out the hatch , so instead I yelled out “who is it?” I asked my voice slightly nervous .

I heard soft chuckling on the other side and wondered what the hell the person was thinking knocking on my door at 2 am to stand there and laugh , stupid prank “if you don’t go away or answer me I’m calling the cops” my voice got stronger and more willed just so the person on the other side would believe me .

Then I heard a dog bark and wondered what the frig was going on , I slowly slid the door back , holding a baseball bat in my hand making sure if the person tried pushing their way past I could knock them over the head before they could try something .

“What the FUC………..” I was stunned , there she was Tara and her dog standing at my door , Tara was in a hoodie and jeans and the dog well she wasn’t wearing clothes cause real dogs don’t wear clothes .

“K” Tara finished off what I was about to say for me with a small smile playing on her lips .

Before I could ask her if everything was alright or if she had lost her ever loving mind she started talking “well you see I took Zoey here out for a walk , and well we were walking past where you live and I seen a glowing coming from the window and I figured you were awake so we thought by chance if we stopped by maybe we could say hi to you” She smiled a thousand watt smile and my anger went away quickly , sometimes even after all these years she was just to cute .

“so umm Hi” she smiled and waved and I looked down to see Zoey sitting on her butt waving her paw at me as well and I couldn’t help but chuckle , then Tara started to walk away .

“Tara!” I called after her , she stopped to look and I smiled “hi” I waved back and she laughed “come in for a tea?” I asked , I was slightly tired but not to tired to talk to Tara .

All the while Faith’s words were crossing my mind , she had a lot to do to prove herself once more .

“are you sure , we didn’t want to bug you , we just wanted to say hi we only knocked lightly incase you were sleeping” Tara looked slightly nervous now , I wondered what she was thinking to just stop by to say hi then leave , I wondered if she was actually thinking when she decided to knock.

“I’m sure Tara , come on in …” I lowered myself down to Zoey’s level “You wanna come in don’t ya pup !?” I asked and Zoey wiggled her tail and pounced on me licking my face all over I laughed softly , it had been a while since I was around a dog , “I think I might even have a bone laying around for you from when I babysat James!” And at the mention of bone the dog went crazy and barged through my front door .

“Well now that you mentioned bone we have to other wise zoey won’t let me leave” Tara smiled and stepped through the door kicking off her sneakers .

“that wouldn’t bother me” I whispered under my breath , and I think Tara heard me cause she stopped mid step and tilted her head watching me .

I stood quickly and walked over to the drawer that I knew the bone was in from last month and pulled it out giving it to Zoey , before I went into the kitchen to put the pot of tea on .

“Make yourself at home” I yelled as I ran down the hall realizing that I was still in my bright pink fuzzy PJ’s , I had to change and had to change fast.

“okay” Tara looked quizzical as I took off like a bolt of lightening .

After a few moments I came out wearing sweats and a tee , Tara laughed .

“I liked the fuzzy pink PJ’s .” Tara smirked and oh god I thought my heart would explode at that smirk , I hadn’t seen it in years , but it was the same as always , mischievous , and sexy all wrapped up into one .

“well ya know , I thought that maybe Zoey there might think I was a squeak toy and try to chew on me” It was a total lie but I didn’t want to tell Tara that I changed cause I didn’t want her thinking I was a goof.

Tara laughed , her whole body shaking I guess she got the image of Zoey trying to eat me .

“it’s not funny what if that happened !” I pouted slightly and she reached over with her hand and ran her thumb gently across my bottom lip , I don’t even think she thought about it , it seemed so natural .
My body shivered at the touch and she pulled her hand away quickly “I’m so sorry” She said as she stood walking over to her shoes .

“I should go” she whispered lowering her head thinking I would be angry .

“Don’t go” I whispered , even though I wanted to build the trust again , she was here and I didn’t want her to leave .

“I really should its late” she whispered and looked at the clock which was now reading ten after 3 , I couldn’t believe that an hour went by like a blink of an eye .

“where do you live?” I asked tilting my head wondering if she lived close , since she was on a walk with Zoey , she must have .

Tara lowered her head and blushed so much that ever her ears went beat red “Quinton Rd” she answered her voice quiet I almost didn’t hear her .

I thought about it for a moment then my eye’s went large “Quinton RD?!” I was rather loud and I made the dog jump and Tara as well, “ so just on a short stroll eh?” I laughed “Tara Quinton Rd is like a 2 hour walk from here!” I shook my head but crossed my arms over my chest and tapped my foot on the ground as I spoke my next line.

“You are not walking that far home this time of night” I said firmly “Resolve face” and I pointed to my face and she laughed , tears in her eye’s and I wasn’t sure if they were tears from laughing so hard or tears from the memories of my resolve face from years before .

After a moment I realized it was because of the memories , I walked towards her , I reached my arms out and pulled her into them , and I held her as sobs racked her body I held her , I wasn’t sure what else to do , I guess everything that has happened had hurt her too , and she finally was letting it all out .

“Shh” I soothed and ran my fingers through her hair and down her back “It’s okay Tara”, I didn’t know what to say .

After a few moments she stopped crying , and looked up to me with a weak smile “sorry about that” she whispered after a moment of just looking into each others eye’s…

“I really shouldn’t stay Willow” Tara said as she pointed at Zoey.

“Oh don’t worry about that , my friends Buffy and Faith have a dog named James” I said as I hurried into the kitchen and pulled out a food bowl and water bowl , also the bag of dog food a box of treats and a few toys…. Tara laughed at me and I smiled “you were always ready for anything weren’t you?” she asked with a smile as she walked into the kitchen and leaned against the wall.

“yes I do now , I won’t let you walk out that door , I’ll kidnap your dog and you can’t go” I smiled and crossed my arms again sticking my tongue out at her when she rolled her eye’s .

“okay okay” Tara shook her head “if you have some blankets and a pillow I’ll make up the couch if that’s alright?” Tara asked looking for a closet .

“I don’t think so you walked two hours to come see me I’m not letting you sleep on the couch !”I stated and Tara’s eye’s went wide

“you can have the guest bedroom” I smiled and she breathed a breath I don’t’ think she realized she had been holding .

“thanks Willow we’ll leave right away in the morning” I could tell she honestly felt bad and I knew she would have walked home if I hadn’t have asked where she lived , I wasn’t worried about it .

“I don’t have work tomorrow so its all good sleep in , maybe when we get up we can take Zoey here for a walk and talk some more ?” I asked as we walked down the hall towards the guest bedroom , Zoey staying in the living room chewing her bone like there was no tomorrow.

“That would be nice” Tara sighed and smiled as she walked into the dark room behind me .

I flicked the light before I realized what was sitting on the desk , I forgot totally that I had the picture of Tara on her Harley sitting on the desk , it was where I did my at home work , I kept her with me .

Tara walked over to the desk instantly and picked up the picture smiling softly she turned to look at me “You still have this?” she asked a surprised look on her face.

“I told you I never stopped loving you” I sighed , wondering if she would be upset or freaked out that I had it still and displayed it proudly.

“yes you did, and Willow I never stopped loving you either you know” she whispered as she walked towards me setting the picture on the bed she wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me closer to her .

I was shocked to say the least , I didn’t know what to do I couldn’t move and I really didn’t want to move .

“Willow can we just skip it ?” she asked and I kind of wondered what she was talking about .

“skip what Tara?” I asked wondering and wanting to know .
I could feel her breath on my lips as she spoke the words I had been waiting to hear for years now , ones that I would have turned away earlier in the day but ones that were needed now .

“Can you just be kissing me?” she asked her voice shaky and I did just that , I couldn’t take anymore I leaned in and kissed her with all the love I had in me , tears rolled down both of our faces mingling together , just as we did .

Slowly she moved her hands to my head and held me close, I had my hands on the back of her neck holding her tight to me “I love you” I whispered I couldn’t help it I had to say it , and she kissed me harder and with more passion then I had felt in years .

Chapter 5.…

Good morning .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke first , I was happy that I did , I chuckled softly as I moved and Zoey grumbled at the foot of the bed , it was cute I guess sometime during the night when she was finished her bone she decided it was time to come get in bed with us .

I rolled slightly , so I could look at Tara , she was sound asleep , her head buried in my shoulder , she was beautiful , so elegant and soft .
Her hair was everywhere .

I laid there for a few moments thinking about the evening before , it was an amazing night , we made love till the sun came up , touching each other like we were able to actually feel for the first time , we studied each others bodies like it was amazing pieces of art .
And it was beautiful , more beautiful then I remember it being , before when we were together and we would make love , it seemed so rushed , and fast moving , but last night it was slow we weren’t rushed , we touched and kissed every where .
It was amazing.

I was pulled out of my thoughts , when Tara stirred and moved her head back a few inches so she could look at me “Goodmorning” she smiled and I leaned down and gave her a soft kiss .

“Best morning” I smiled when I pulled away and she smiled wider , then she smirked and I knew she was thinking about the night before.

“it was amazing wasn’t it?” I asked knowing exactly what she was thinking .

She blushed slightly her shy side that definitely wasn’t there last night was back today “it was amazing” she agreed closing her eye’s and sighing softly.

The look on her face instantly put me in the mood yet again “unless you want to start something this morning you might not want to look like that” I smiled and kissed her throat , down to her naked shoulder and collar bone sucking and nipping it softly making her moan and lean her head back .
Her breathing quickened .

“Oh goddess I wish we could but I have to walk Zoey” she moaned and pulled away slightly , placing soft kisses on my lips and face as she did .

“Oh ya” I smiled and sat up , letting the blanket fall from my chest , I leaned forward and pet the dog on the head “ Zoey got tired of the living room at some point” I laughed when Tara covered her eye’s embarrassed .

“I’m so sorry I forgot to tell you she sleeps with me” Tara moaned and laughed sitting up also petting the dog , who rolled over happily excepting the love she was getting .

“so” I started I was in an amazing mood today “How about you go shower and relax and I’ll walk Zoey” I smiled as I leaned over and gave Tara another kiss before slowly standing from the bed and heading towards the closet in the room we were in to find something to throw on .

“Are you sure?” She asked her voice slightly worried sounding .

“100% sure” I grinned and threw on a sweater and pulled on some track pants .

“okay” Tara grinned , she kissed Zoey on the head and stood from the bed , her hips swaggering slightly as she walked out of the bed room and into the bathroom .

I stood there for a moment watching her ,my mouth hung open , making love to her last night was one thing but seeing her in bright day light walking around so comfortable was just wonderful , something I would never get used to , something I couldn’t wait to see again .

“come on Zoey if we’re quick maybe I can join Tara in the shower” I poked my tongue out then burst out laughing as the dog covered her eye’s with her paw and rolled over moaning .

Chapter 6
Lovely day it is isn’t it?
~~~~

“that was a nice shower wasn’t it?” I whispered as I wrapped Tara and I both in a towel .

Holding her in my arms for a few moments , just relaxing in the heated bathroom.

“It was , I don’t think I’ve ever felt so clean” Tara grinned and turned her head to kiss my neck.

“Tara?” I whispered , I had something to say but I wasn’t sure how to say it, if I should just blurt it out or if I should take it slow and just ignore my thoughts .

“you can ask me or tell me anything Willow” she whispered in my ear , nibbling on it softly.

I moaned , deep in my throat , at the drop of a hat this blonde haired blue eyed goddess could turn me on to the point where I would rather lock us both away and ravish her all day .

“okay” I said after a few moments , letting go of her so I could turn her to look at her .

“I mean it Willow anything” she said again , and I believed her .

“I don’t know what to say, or well how to actually say this , I umm I have to ask you something , and I’m not sure I want the answer so I’m just going to say it I guess , though I haven’t really started to say it and it’s taking a lot of words to say it” I sighed , I couldn’t get it out , Tara chuckling brought me back to life , and well made me take a breath.

“Willow just say it” Tara smiled and kissed me softly.

“please don’t hurt me again” I whispered lowering my head , my eyes filling with tears , this felt so right , it felt like it’s where I was always supposed to be , it was nice but I was scared , I was scared to get hurt again , Tara had tore out my heart , shredded it into a thousand pieces then grinded it into dust when she was done, and now here we were three years later , together like nothing had been between us in the past .

“oh Willow” and she wrapped me in her arms and held me like there wasn’t going to be another day , and I honestly believe I finally felt her heart , for the first time in a long time , I could feel her every part of her loving me . “I swear I will do everything in my power not to ever hurt you again” She finally whispered in my ear kissing me on the side of the face ever so softly.

~~~~~

“so what would we like to do for the rest of the day ?” Tara asked me with a smile as she walked around my apartment in a towel , a beautiful smirk on her face .

I sat on the couch in a teeshirt and my underwear watching her walk around like she was at home , it made me smile from ear to ear .

“I don’t know what do you think?” I asked with a raised eyebrow slowly standing and walking towards her .. I reached out and looped my finger in the edge of her towel , it instantly fell to the ground , leaving her in her birthday suit in front of me .

She blushed slightly and smirked at the same time , she was so conflicting sometimes , she would get shy and nervous , yet the things she had in her mind drove me wild .

“I think maybe now that you have me naked in front of you that I’m getting kinda chilly” Tara smirked even more and I quietly moaned to myself “So I really think you should maybe warm me up” She nodded her head slowly.

“I think maybe you’re right , I wouldn’t want you to get sick now would I ?” I smiled and walked closer to her pulling her in for a melting kiss ,I ran my fingers through her damp hair , holding her tightly to my mouth as I ran my tongue over her lips , then dipped it in her mouth for a taste .

“mmmm” she moaned in my mouth tilting her head slightly , we broke apart and she was panting about as hard as I was .

“Getting warmer” She smiled and leaned into kiss me again , this time it was a lot harder , and faster , we moved to the wall, I pressed her into it , moving my knee in between her legs and pressing up at the exact moment she thrust forward .
I moaned loudly when she bit my lip trying to keep from screaming out .
A few moments like this and she was near climax we rocked back and forth against the door , and right as she was about to come someone knocked , scaring us both into jumping , when we jumped her centre pressed against my thigh with such force it sent her crashing over the edge , she soaked my leg and screamed my name , both of us panting and gasping for air , we had forgotten someone had knocked …

That is until we heard the voice screaming down the door.

“WILLOW IF YOU DON’T ANSWER THE GODDAMNED DOOR I’M GONNA FUCKING BUST IT DOWN!” and it was Faith , I’m guessing Buffy was close behind her , and she sounded worried .

Tara’s eye’s went wide yet her legs were still to shaky to walk , or run into the bedroom to get clothes on .

“I MEAN IT WILLOW! WE HEARD SCREAMING ARE YOU ALRIGHT AT LEAST ANSWER!” and now they sounded extremely worried so I answered , through my giggles .

“I’m ALRIGHT!” I yelled back hoping maybe they would get the point .

“OPEN UP!” and of course they didn’t get the point , to pig headed to just leave me be for a little while .

“OKAY OKAY!” I yelled back , my eye’s wide this time , I walked to the door and slowly pulled it open a few inches , Tara was wrapped back in the towel , headed towards the bedroom .

I was watching her walk away when they yanked the door open and charged in , their eye’s caught sight of me first , Buffy slapped a hand over them right away , but Faith not so much , then Faith caught sight of a pretty much naked Tara running into the bed room, and instead of being a great friend and walking away she smirked and turned her head trying to get a better look , she only turned back to me when she heard my growl .

“So red?” Faith asked instantly smirking like the cat that caught the canary .

“Yes FAITH?!” My voice was rather high as I glared at the both of them .

“Umm can we find out what was going on in a moment , like maybe after Willow puts some clothes on?” And I finally realized that the rather quiet Buffy was still in the room too.

“Good idea” I smiled and ducked away quickly , I loved my friends but a seethru white tee and underwear that weren’t much better wasn’t something I wanted them to see me in .

~~~

“What do I do what do I do?!” Tara asked pacing back and forth with Zoey in my bedroom .

“just keep cool its okay baby” I smiled and planted a soft but quick kiss on her lips .

“Gawd I didn’t want to meet your friends this soon ! They hate ME!” She cried softly her hands shaking …. “ and especially after what they just heard !” and I couldn’t help it I started to laugh softly.

“It’ll be okay I swear to you , now let me get dressed and we’ll go meet the two other women in my life” I smiled and she finally relaxed slightly , giving me a hug before I threw on some clothes .

~~~~

Tara and I walked hand in hand up to the living room from my bed room after I got dressed , Zoey walked between our legs .

Faith and Buffy were on the couch , they had gotten out the coffee maker and made a pot of coffee which they were now enjoying , there were two other cups of coffee on the table with cream and sugar on the side .

“We weren’t sure what the other person that was here took in their coffee so we just left it black” Buffy said with a smile and looked at Tara as we walked into the living room.

“Buffy Faith?” And they both looked at me with smiles “this is Tara, Tara this is Faith and Buffy” I introduced them with smiles , Buffy stood instantly , her ears were slightly red , I’m guessing she was remembering what was going on earlier .

“ Nice to meet you Tara” Buffy smiled and shook Tara’s hand and I smiled from ear to ear , I was glad to see Buffy giving her a fair shot .

Faith didn’t stand right away though , not until I watched Buffy kick her in the foot , then she stood “Hi” Faith ground her teeth as she shook Tara’s hand .

“n..nice to mee…meet you as well” Tara stuttered for the first time in goddess only knows how long .

“Soooooooooooo” Buffy grinned and looked at me with a raised eyebrow .

“yes we were doing what you thought we might be doing , no I wasn’t being killed , yes we had a great time and again yes we are together” I answered everything before anything could actually be said , and Faith finally burst out laughing .

“you’re getting good red you’re getting real good” Faith laughed and sat back on the couch relaxing slightly .

“oh and this is Zoey!” I smiled and pat the whimpering dog on the head , making sure I scratched behind her ears .

And before they could say anything Zoey was up and in Faith’s lap instantly licking her all over the face .

Tara’s eye’s went wide with horror and she leapt after the dog .

But she came to a screeching halt when Faith started making dog noises and baby talking to Zoey as she scratched her stomach and back and head .

“I think she likes you but I am so sorry” Tara blushed and looked to the ground .

“It’s okay Blondie she’s a cutie” Faith smiled up at Tara , and for a moment I was beyond happy , everyone seemed to be fine , but then Faith realized who she was in front of and who she was talking to , and she started grinding her teeth once again, yet she didn’t stop petting Zoey.

“Soooooooo are you two up to anything today ?” Buffy asked and before we could answer she started speaking again “other then having extremely loud sex against your front door?” And I thought for a second Tara was going to crawl under the couch and never come out .

I laughed along side of Buffy and Faith …. “We’re never gonna live it down baby” I whispered to Tara who was hiding her head in the place between my shoulder and neck .

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This has some harsh shit in it but I add it because it happened to me and some friends , there is a true dose of Homophobia , and Gay bashing , but it'll be alright .


Chapter 7

~~~~~

“do you think Faith will ever give me a chance?” Tara asked me looking nervous as ever .

“She will baby give her some time is all” I smiled and squeezed her hand softly , trying to reassure her a little .

“Don’t worry bout her” Buffy bumped shoulders with Tara trying to make her feel more comfortable as we all walked towards the park with Zoey , who Faith was running ahead of us with .

“She just loves Will here and well she doesn’t’ want her getting hurt ….Again” Buffy finished with a sigh .

“Ya see Buffy likes you” I smiled at Tara who smiled back and then looked to Buffy and mouthed thank you.

Buffy just grinned and then ran to catch up to Faith and Zoey.

“I don’t know Will , she seems so mad at me , you’ve never even been this angry with me” Tara sighed and looked at me , we slowed down slightly “and you had every reason to be!” She shook her head.

“Tare I swear just give her time” I tried again , but to no avail .

“FUCKING DYKES!” and all of us stopped dead in our tracks with the comment that was screamed at us from a guy sitting on a bench , and then something that we wouldn’t even believe happened , he threw his coffee at us.

Buffy, Faith and Tara stood stunned as it nailed me straight in the face .

“YOU SON OF A …..” And before Faith could react like she always did Tara was on the guy , had him off the ground by his shirt screaming at him .

“Who the hell do you think you are you little worm!?” She asked loudly as she threw him back against the bench , knocking the wind out of him .

“Well if fucking dykes like you didn’t think you had the freedom to do what ever the hell you wanted then I wouldn’t have to defend my rights by throwing shit at useless wastes like you” and then Tara lost it and I just stood there stunned, Faith and Buffy stood beside me , I think Buffy asked me if I was alright but I was to busy watching Tara take on the dushbag .

“You lil sonofabitch” Tara said before she pulled her hand back and punched him full in the centre of the face .

“HOLY SHIT TARA !” Faith was the first to move , and before she could get to her Tara had him off the ground and brought him towards me .

“Say you’re sorry” She said her voice a growl as she clutched her hand around his neck.

“Fuck you” he spat and snarled at her .

“Say you are sorry to my partner and friends!” She demanded again , and this time he spit on her and I was about to lose it .

Then he pulled his hand back and slapped her across the face .

And she was finished , she pinned him to the ground with her foot in his back .

“Well I was being nice Asshole , but now I don’t have to be , You have the right to remain silent anything you say or do will be used against you” And Tara read him his rights , “You are under arrest for Gay Bashing , as well as assaulting an officer” …


And she showed him her ID and called in back up , she was off duty but she did have the right to have him arrested , Faith and Buffy stood back , when the other officers got there , they told what happened , Tara had to hit him due to the fact that he hit her and it was her way to defend herself , we all vouched and admitted to that even though we bent the truth slightly , after everything was calmed down we stopped to sit on the bench , the police took the guy away .

And now it was just the four of us .

Faith was the first to speak “Red are you alright?” she asked a tone in her voice we never heard often , which was soft and caring .

“I’m alright , I’m just stunned that someone can be that harsh , that’s never happened before” I shook my head , honestly nothing like that had ever happened before , and it shocked me to the core , how harsh and mean people could be .

Then Faith spoke again “Tara” she started quietly , and Tara turned to look at her “You‘re not as bad I as I might have thought ” She said and reached her hand out to shake Tara’s , and Tara returned it with a thank you and a blush .

“So now that we’ve had a healthy dose of homophobia how about we keep on our walk and go enjoy the rest of the day?” Buffy asked us all with a smile .

“Okay” I agreed , what was the point in letting it bring us down , people were assholes , but if the four of us stuck together it wouldn’t be as bad .

Chapter 8
~~~~~~~
( 1 year later )

“Tara we’re here!” Faith announced as her and Buffy walked through the front door of the blondes and Willow’s house , Willow was still at work .

“in here Faith!” Tara yelled back with a smile , she was cutting roses in the back room of their house .

“comin comin” Buffy grinned as they dropped their things and headed back into the room Tara was in , she looked up from what she was doing and waved as the girls walked , Faith had already stopped at the fridge to grab a beer for Buffy and water for herself .

“Hey ladies!” Tara smiled and whipped her hands on her apron , walking over and giving both girls a warm hug .

“so ya ready ?” Faith wiggled her eye brows up and down smirking.

“The question should be are you ready?” Tara smirked , Faith and Buffy had a huge announcement to make , everyone was coming , Joyce and Giles , Anya and Xander and Dawn and Julie , even Spike and Angel were on their way , some good old friends of theirs .

“ZOEY!?” Buffy called from where they were standing wondering where the dog was , she always brought a treat and Zoey always was right there to steal it from the blonde .

“she’s at a sitters” Tara smiled sadly , she hated sending the pup away for the night but there were going to be a whole bunch of people in the house tonight and she didn’t want to risk Zoey getting out , or someone getting her drunk or something .

“Oh” Buffy sighed , she was saddened by this fact but she totally understood .

Tara looked confused for a few moments wondering why Buffy was drinking and Faith wasn’t “so are you going to tell me what this big announcement is?” she asked looking to Buffy who looked to her feet then to Faith who just grinned as always .

They wanted to tell everyone at the same time , but asked for Tara’s help in planning the BBQ , but wouldn’t tell her what they had to say .

“Nope” Faith shook her head with a smile .

“Honey I’m home!” Willow called as she walked through the front door , smiling when she seen Faith and Buffy’s shoes and things “I see you brought home stragglers once again” she laughed as she walked into the back room where Tara had gone back to snipping roses .

“Yes yes I did” Tara laughed and put the roses down walking over and giving Willow a firm heated kiss “I missed you” she whispered as she pulled away .

“I missed you too” Willow smiled and dropped her bag finally “So we ready for tonight?” She asked looking to Faith and Buffy “you gonna tell me whats up ?” She asked with a grin “and are you going to tell me why you aren’t drinking beer?” she asked Faith her face covered in confusion .

“Nope and because I don’t want a drink yet?” Faith said it with a smirk her tone questioning .

“humm” Willow hummed , with a raised eyebrow , wondering what was up .

“you’ll find out soon enough” Buffy smiled and took a swig of her beer .

“Oh come on we’re helping you out here and everything you think you could let us know before everyone else gets here” Tara whined slightly pouting .

Faith rolled her eye’s and looked to Buffy “ That cute ass puppy dog look is killer there blondie” Faith sighed and kept looking at her partner .

Buffy nodded and Faith smiled knowing she could let them know what was up before anyone got there “I’m havin a baby?” Faith said with a grin , Willow and Tara both didn’t hear her right .

Or so they thought “You’re what now?” Tara asked her eyebrows almost reaching her hair line .

“And what a hunn a huh ?” Willow looked from Buffy to Faith so quickly all three of them laughed out right .

“I’m having a baby” Faith smiled and took Buffy’s hand in hers .

“OH MY FUCKING GOD?!” Willow screeched jumping up and down and then lowered herself to her knees to press her ear to her best friends tummy thinking some how she would be able to hear the baby say “ya I’m in here auntie !” Faith rolled her eye’s but couldn’t whip the smile from her face .

“Oh wow” Tara breathed and reached over to hug Buffy “congrats daddy” she smirked slightly , she always thought if one of them would have the baby it would be Buffy.

“Thanks” Buffy laughed and took another drink of her beer .

Then Tara hugged Faith whispering in her ear “Congrats Faith this is awesome for you , you’ll make a wonderful mom” then she gave her a quick kiss on the cheek .

Faith grinned and had tears in her eye’s “thanks Tare” She hugged back tightly for a second before letting go and taking Willow into her arms “CONGRATS!” Willow grinned and hugged her friend to her almost like she didn’t want to let her go. “I’m gonna be a auntie!” she bounced once she let go of the dark haired girl.

All three of them laughed and finally after a few moments of questioning they started to get everything ready for the day ahead .

~~~~

Chapter 9

“I can’t believe she’s finally here” Willow chuckled softly as she sat at the edge of hers and Tara’s bed to take off her shoes , it had been a long day , long long day , Faith went into labor early yesterday morning and finally gave birth nearly 23 hours later , they had spent the day at the hospital with Faith Buffy and Keagan, a beautiful teenie tiny girl 6lbs exactly and 17 inches long , dark brown hair and strangely bright green eye’s so bright they shone already.
Her name was Keagan Anne Summer-Lehan , beautiful baby.
And Tara and Willow were both so happy to be new aunts .

“I know, she’s so beautiful” Tara smiled as she sat beside the redhead .

“she is I’m so proud!” Willow grinned up to Tara , as she undid the other shoe kicking it off and into the corner .

Tara was already undressed and ready for bed .

“let me finish up here and I’ll be out in a few moments to climb into that nice snuggly bed with you” Willow wiggled her eyebrows and ran towards the bathroom , trying to hurry to get some good snuggles in before Tara fell asleep.

~~~~

After a few moments Willow bounded into the bedroom , bouncing and landed softly beside her lover , who had perfect timing and pulled the covers back just as Willow launched herself in the air , pulling them up less then a few seconds after Willow had gracefully landed beside her .

“now I will even admit that was smooth” Tara laughed as she curled up beside her lover with a smile .

“it was wasn’t it ?” Willow chuckled and wiggled around to get more comfy .

“It was considering you’re not generally that smooth” Tara teased with a pinch to Willow’s ass.

“EEPS!” Willow screeched and jumped slightly “hey now don’t be mean to me” And she pouted her bottom lip sticking out as far as it could possibly go , which only cause Tara to smile and lean in to suck the offending lip into her mouth , nibbling slightly making Willow moan softly into her mouth .

“not fair” the redhead grinned when Tara pulled away .

“is to” Tara smiled back and pulled her lover closer so Willow’s head was rested on her chest .

“comfy” Willow yawned , she wanted more then anything to make love to her beautiful girlfriend tonight but she was so tired she wasn’t sure if she would be able to stay away through it, and that would just be bad .

The redheads eye’s found Tara’s and Tara smiled “its okay love tomorrow we can make love all morning tonight we will sleep” she replied even before Willow could say anything .

“otay” Willow grinned then stifled another yawn , which caused Tara to laugh once again .

After a few moments Tara had thought Willow had fallen asleep and she softly spoke “We’re gonna have a baby together one day” she spoke ever so softly , and unless you were really listening you wouldn’t have been able to hear her .

“Yes we are” Willow replied and Tara jumped slightly , a blush settling into her cheeks .

“ I thought you were sleeping” Tara whispered and kissed the redhead on the forhead.

“not yet , was just enjoying the moment” Willow smiled and sat up slightly .

“sorry about that if I woke you babes” Tara smiled a half smile and it melted Willow’s heart .

“I meant it Tara , soon we’ll have a baby soon I’m serious if you are” Willow stated firmly looking into her lovers eye’s.

“I want” Tara nodded sitting up as well , her face nothing but a serious look.

“Well then tomorrow or the next day we’ll sit down and talk about this” Willow grinned , she was more then willing to have a baby with Tara .

“Umm will?” Tara asked softly, when the redhead looked up and smiled with a nod Tara finished “shouldn’t we get married first ?” She asked with a grin.

“Might be an idea” Willow smiled, then kissed the blonde .

“Willow Rosenburg Will you marry me?” Tara asked with a smile “I don’t have a ring right now but I can get one” she finished , knowing full well that Willow would say yes .

“yes of course I will Tara” Willow grinned and rolled over to kiss her lover , soon to be wife firmly on the mouth , suddenly she wasn’t so tired anymore , and with a quick motion she flipped Tara on her back and made love to her till the sun rose the next morning..
