CHAPTER 12- The Long Way Home, part III
The dark haired woman and the brunette pulled away after they heard giggles. Turn out that Tara, Willow and Amber had come back inside and found them kissing. The older blonde and the redhead were giggling like school girls but the little blonde was looking at them with her head tilted to one side, apparently thinking about what the adults in front of her were doing.
“I’ll go order some food. Italian is okay, guys?” Willow said and after a round of nods she left the room.
Amber walked towards Dawn and sat on the coffee table, still studyin the brunette.
“Who are you?” The little girl asked. “I am Amber Elizabeth Rosenberg” The little blonde extended her hand and didn’t see her mother covering her mouth to stifle her laugh at her formality.
“Dawn Summers, nice to meet you, Amber” The brunette extended her hand and shook Ambers.
“You’re Dawn?” Amber seemed a little surprised and looked at her aunt. “She’s the aunt Dawn mummy and you told me about?”
“She is kiddo. You’ve seen her picture before” Faith said and pointed to the large framed picture on the wall. The whole Scoobie Gang was there, except Faith of course. The younger Dawn was standing between Willow and Tara, who were posted like shields by her sides.
“I remember you. Why were you kissing my aunt Faith? Can I call you aunt Dawn?” Amber asked the first question kindly but with a hint of protectiveness in her voice. The brunette actually felt smaller under the strong gaze on the little girl’s eyes.
“I…well…” Why Dawn suddenly felt like she was meeting her girlfriend’s parents?
“Hey kiddo. Remember that I told you about D before? That I really like her?” The little girl nodded. “Well, I asked her out on a date” The Slayer said. Amber looked at Dawn.
“Did you say yes?”
“I did”
“And you really like aunt Faith?”
“I do kiddo” The brunette smiled. That little girl was just too cute.
“I’ll make sure she looked beautiful for your date, aunt Dawn”
Amber jumped from the coffee table and gave the brunette a loving hug, which made her heart to swell with happiness.
“So that means you’re okay with me dating aunt Faith?” Dawn asked, after the little girl pulled away, she had sat on Faith’s lap to hug her favourite aunt.
“Of course I am! My family is complete again. That’s all I ever wanted!” Amber jumped from her aunt’s lap and ran to Tara’s awaiting arms.
“The food’s on its way, people” Willow announced entering the living room again, happier than ever.
**
After they had lunch together, they all sat in the living room, talking like friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, which was true in a way, but a little ironic in the other…
“Baby girl, why don’t you show mom your room? I bet she’ll love it”
“Great idea, mummy! Mom, do you want to see my room?”
“I’d love to”
“Come, come, then. I’ll show you my room”
The little girl dragged her mother upstairs and the others laughed at Amber’s eagerness.
“I swear, sometimes I don’t know where she came from” Willow chuckled.
“She’s your kid, Red” Faith shrugged. Dawn stood up and stared at Willow for a few minutes.
“You’ve done an amazing job, Will” dawn said. “Your daughter is beautiful”
“She’s her mother’s living portrait, Dawnie” Willow responded obviously indicating that she thought her daughter was pure Tara. “And I didn’t do it alone, Dawn”
“Of course not, Faith was here always”
“You all were. Since she was born she’s been hearing about you guys, about our adventures…so you all have helped me”
“I…” Dawn cleared her throat and said what had been running through her
head since leaving Sunnydale. “I just wanted to that I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the future but… Just like I said in Caritas, what happened 8 years ago, it’s all in the past now. And like your little girl just said…All I ever wanted was to have my family back. I want us to be a family again, Will”
“I want that as well, Dawnie. I want us to be a family like we used to… I… I promise I’ll do my best to make it all work out”
Faith stood up as well and put one hand on Willow’s shoulder and the other on Dawn’s.
“We’ll all do our best” The Slayer vowed to her friends.
She didn’t expect her friends to pull her into a group hug though, the Slayer hesitated but after a second she hugged them back. After pulling away, she said.
“Why don’t you go up and take a look at Lil’ Red room? Go, babe”
“Of course”
They waited until the brunette was out of ear shot.
“Thank you, Faith, for real” Willow said.
“Don’t thank me, Red. Somebody had to do something, Queen C sent me, period. I know you would do the same for me”
“Still, thank you”
**
Dawn saw that Amber’s room sign, she knocked to make her presence known and opened the door. Her jaw hit the floor…
As soon as she opened the door all she could see was Harry Potter everywhere. In the wall there was a mural of Harry, Hermione, Ginny and her brother Ron in front of the castle. In the other wall, where the window was, the owls of Hogwarts were flying freely in the morning sky, Hedwig among them. The two wooden doors Dawn guess were the bathroom and the closet were surrounded by the Forbidden Forest, a big book shelf among them. The four posted bed had a lion’s head on the headboard and the dark red curtains were pulled back, revealing Tara and her daughter reading. Oh yeah, even the sheets and covers were of Harry Potter.
Tara saw Dawn standing in the middle of the room with her mouth open while looking around.
“You really like Harry Potter, don’t you Amber?” Dawn asked the little girl.
Right there in the ceiling there was a huge mural of a hippogriff flying across the sky. The whole room was a piece of art, it was like a dream.
“She’s mine and Willow’s daughter, what did you expect? Barbie?” Tara said, only half-joking.
“Mummy got someone to paint it all. I really love my room” Amber said excited. And after a moment she left the book again in her night table and yawned. “Mummy likes to read and write Hermione/Ginny…I don’t remember the word…” The little blonde frowned trying to remember.
“Fan fiction?” Tara tried to help her and not laugh in the process.
“Yes, mom. She’s really good, sometimes she lets me read a little, not everything because she says that Im too young and that I’ll get scared” The now sleepy blonde told her mother and new aunt. “She always lets me read the funny parts”
“Really, princess?” Tara asked, not knowing this piece of information about Willow.
“Mom, would you mind if I take a nap? I feel tired” The little blonde asked, fighting to stay awake and her mother kissed her forehead.
“Sleep, my beautiful princess” Tara told her daughter the same words her own mother used to tell her before she could even realized she was doing it.
Tara and Dawn closed the door carefully behind them and walked downstairs to find Faith and Willow watching TV. The redhead looked up as if wondering where Amber was.
“And Amber?” She asked.
“She was tired and fell sleep” Tara said.
Willow frowned for a second and looked up to the ceiling, then she relaxed her expression and moved so Tara could sit by her side. Dawn sat on the armchair, not noticing the look on Faith’s face when she didn’t sit with her.
“Does she always fall sleep?” Tara asked the redhead.
“Not usually. But…Tell me if you don’t feel it. Today was exhausting for her, y’know…emotionally” The redhead whispered to her…whatever they were for now. Willow wasn’t sure what exactly but Tara was back on her life and she wasn’t one to complain. She wasn’t gonna push anything, they were just starting to work things out…
“She’s an angel… just like you” Tara suddenly murmured in Willow’s ear.
“No, not like me. Just like you, ‘cause you’re a Goddess and only a Goddess could create such an angel” The redhead found herself whispering back, her lips only an inch away from Tara’s.
Their hands found each other and entwined their fingers. The witches rested their foreheads together and their lips met chastely a few times before Willow laid her head on Tara’s shoulder and the blonde wrapped one of her arms around the redhead smaller frame.
“I love you, Will” Tara whispered while kissing the top of her head. Willow looked up.
“Love you too, Tara” And their lips met again.
Faith was trying hard not to hear what they were saying. Usually she would think two women were hot, but they were Willow and Tara, and the Slayer wanted to give them privacy. God, these were the times when she cursed her Slayer hearing.
“Hey, D, wanna get outta here? Don’t know, take a walk?” The Slayer said to the brunette in a low voice, she didn’t want to interrupt their friends.
“Sure, let’s go. They need some privacy” Dawn agreed and they left. The others didn’t notice they were gone until oxygen became a serious issue.
“They’re gone! Where did they do?”
“No idea…”
“So, did you like Amber’s room? Impressed?” Willow looked a little funny smiling with her lips a little swollen from the kissing.
“I am very much impressed, sweetheart. I knew you were a fan of Harry Potter but I didn’t think you turned our daughter into one”
“I didn’t need to push, baby, she’s got it in her blood, y’know” Willow raised an eyebrow when Tara giggled.
“You look kinda funny with your swollen lips, honey, sorry” The blonde said again kissing her briefly.
“That was your fault” Willow pouted.
“Oh, not the pout…” Tara breathed out. She could never resist that pout.
The blonde thought.
Willow pouted further and Tara thought a way to stop her.
“Amber told me something really interesting, Will”
“She did? What was it?”
“That somebody likes to read and write Harry Potter fan fiction… Hermione and Ginny femslash to be more specific…” Tara commented casually. Willow’s eye widened in horror.
“I…well-you’ll see-I…” Willow saw the small grin on Tara’s face and sighed. “There’s no way I’ll get away with this one, am I?” The redhead asked.
“No…” The blonde saw her looked down and added. “There’s nothing wrong with that, Will. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It’s kinda cool…”
“Really?” Willow looked up, hoping Tara wouldn’t think she was a dork. Suddenly, she felt like her old teenage self, nervous and unconfident. Why was this happening to her?
“Of course, I think it’s cool. I read some fictions a few times. There are lots of writers who are better than the actual writer” Tara said with honesty and Willow began to feel better, confident again.
“There is some good stuff about your books, if you ever wanna check it out” Willow commented.
“You read my books, Will? Faith told me you did, but…” Tara asked shyly.
“Of course I have! Tara, your books are amazing! You are an amazing writer” The redhead told her and the blonde blushed slightly.
“Thanks Will. I suppose you haven’t let Amber read them, right?”
“No, she’s only allowed to read the book about art you wrote while you were in college. Oh yeah, I got that one. She understands that she’s not allowed to read the novels” Willow reassured her.
“Good, she’s way too young… And about the fictions, I know. I kinda checked it out a couple of times” Tara commented. “You never wrote one?”
“Oh no. Harry Potter is one thing, your books are a different matter. I could never touch your plot. Always thought that it was too perfect to change it” Willow answered being completely honest.
“Thanks”
“It’s true. You wrote a world of mysteries, of adventures, fantasy and it has hundreds of characters, girl-on-girl action, sexiness and love! Lara Croft and Indiana Jones are school boys compare to your story, Tara! And don’t think I haven’t notice some of our own adventures are there too…” Willow said, smiling mischievously. “The Gentleman…”
“Of course I added some of our own adventures, Will. When I wrote about the Gentleman I was thinking about you…well, I always think about you” To admit this caused Tara to blush a deep shade of red and looked at Willow shyly.
“When I was reading that scene of the book I was goin’ crazy. I was shaking more than that night in the laundry room!” Now Willow was so excited that she was weaving her arms in the air like crazy and her eyes were big as saucers. “The scene was scaring the crap outta me! And I lived that moment for real! And I was scared, shakin’, excited and a little horny if I’m honest, y’know, rememberin’ that night, and I swear I had to leave the book and start laughin’ ‘cause I couldn’t take it anymore! I mean…I HAD to laugh!”
Apparently Willow had ran out of air because she was breathing heavily and when her eyes met Tara’s the blonde didn’t have any problem recognizing that darker shade of green.
“What?”
“Nothing” Tara simply said, her eyes never leaving Willow’s. “You just looked beautiful…And for a moment, it was like were back in my dorm room and you were babbling excited about some new spell or a cool thing you read or Harry Potter’s new movie”
“We’re both changed so much, Tara” Willow away for a second but her eyes returned to Tara, they always did. “The only thing that hasn’t changed is our love, baby”
“No, our love has changed as well. I can feel it. It’s stronger than ever, sweetheart” Tara contradicted her softly.
“I’m glad, then”
“You know…there’s another room I have yet to see” The blonde said, moving closer to her soulmate. The look on Tara’s face made Willow to gulp, loudly.
“Really? I don’t think I forgot to show you any room, Tara” The poor redhead was trying to keep it together and erase the erotic images in her mind, but she was failing miserably.
Tara couldn’t help it and exploded into a fit of laughter. Willow’s face was priceless! The blonde knew what was going through Willow’s mind. They may have changed through the years but some things would never change. And the fact that Willow Danielle Rosenberg was a horn dog would never change…
“You DO know that it was cruel, don’t you? To tease it’s cruel” Willow said in mock-indignation.
“I’m teasing you, Will?” Tara was so close not that she was almost in the redhead’s lap and their lips were almost touching. “I’m teasing you, Willow?” And the redhead actually looked down this time.
“You are and it’s not fair, to be honest, cos I’m doin’ my best to behave here, y’know”
“And why are you doing that, Will? I said I wanted us to go slow, I never said that you had to be…I don’t know, a lady of some sort, as if we were teenagers again. I was just joking, Will. We used to joke like that when we were alone, don’t you remember?”
“I remember everything, Tara. I’m sorry, I just…overreacted a little, don’t pay me attention”
Tara put a finger under Willow’s chin and made the redhead to look at her.
“What’s wrong? Tell me”
“There’s nothing wring Tara. This been a very exhausting day, emotionally exhausting. That’s all” Willow said, but Tara could see right through her.
“Will, the first time we both messed up because we couldn’t talk to each other. No, we both messed up, honey” The blonde added after seeing Willow’s look. “So, please, talk to me. If we’re really working things out, then, talk to me”
Willow took a deep breath. She knew that Tara was right, of course she knew that…
“It’s just that…you came last night and it all has happened so fast…You showed up at the club, in one moment we were yellin’ at each other and the next we were kissin’, Amber. I completely fell apart, we spent the night together. Today I woke up thinking that everything had been one more dream but it wasn’t, I woke up and you were there by my side…The seein’ you with amber, seein’ how natural you are for this…I’m afraid this whole thing is just another dream and I’m about to wake up…” The blonde hugged the restless redhead and kissed the top of her head.
“Shush, honey. This isn’t a dream, I promise. I know, this morning I was thinking the same thing, I was completely overwhelmed just like you, Will. Everything was…heavy stuff to deal with just like that. You have no idea of how many times I dreamt about this Willow. But, do you know how I know this isn’t a dream?”
“No. How?” And a small teasing smile appeared on Tara’s lips.
“Because if this was a dream, right now I’d tied up to the bed and you’d be using your Mistress outfit”
Willow had to laugh at the old joke. How many times Tara had made her laugh with that silly joke, always in times when laughter was needed?
“Of course, can’t forget that” Willow agreed and finally her face lit up with a genuine smile.
“You know…I could use a nap right now…” The blonde trailed off and Willow raised an eyebrow.
“You wanna go and take a nap, Tara?” There was a twinkle in Willow’s eye and the blonde knew Willow was remembering all those afternoons they took ‘naps’ together…
“I think that’s exactly what we need right now, baby” Tara stood up pulling Willow along with her and both witches simply stared at each other.
They smiled at the other and hand in hand ran upstairs before Amber woke up….
Holy Horny Lesbians, Batman!!! Are they gonna do it?? There will be some smutty goodness in the next chapter?? I guess you're gonna have to wait and see, guys!!
