CHAPTER 28- Two days later



Willow finished folding the jacket and placed it inside the box she was packing. She was packing their clothes on boxes. She had gotten the keys of the house that morning from Mrs. O’Connell that same morning and everything was ready for them to move, since the older couple had left them almost all the furniture. At first Tara was a bit worried about the money (it was quite the amount) but Willow had reminded her that they had the money Willow’s grandmother had left the redhead and that the price was more than reasonable.

“Will?” Tara’s voice came from downstairs.

“Up here!”

Willow could hear Tara’s footsteps ascending the stairs and Tara entered the bedroom. The blonde left her briefcase on the floor since the now naked bed was occupied with boxes. Tara gave Willow a kiss and crossed her arms across her chest, as if inspecting what her girlfriend was doing. The bed and most of the room was filled with boxes.

“Honey, why are you packing? We’re just moving next door,” Tara said.

“I’m not packing, exactly. I’m just putting all our clothes in these four boxes so it’s easier to carry them next door. Those two are yours and these two are mine. That box over there has the sheets, that other one has towels, those two have the duvets. Our books are in those four boxes over there. Our shoes and bathroom stuff are the only thing left to pack and I was thinking we could just carry the pillows and-”

“Honey! Relax,” Tara cut her off. “I’ll help you. Don’t worry and breathe.”

“But you’re not carrying any weight. What I can’t carry myself, I’ll wait and call Xander tomorrow,” Willow said.

“Why don’t you call Faith? She’s stronger than you and Xander,” Tara suggested and Willow smirked.

“Admit it. You want the gossips. Dawn hasn’t come back in two days so I think we can assume things went well,” Willow said as she closed the box. “Besides, I don’t want to intrude. It’s not nice when somebody interrupts. We should know about that.”

“I don’t want any kind of gossip, Willow,” Tara scolded. “But Dawn said she wanted to help and I’d rather get this over with today. I’ll go order some Chinese food for lunch and call them.”

Tara left the room and Willow chuckled. The redhead shook her head, laughing.

“Sure thing, baby. Don’t want the gossips, my ass.”

Tara went downstairs and grabbed the phone to order the food. After ordering the food she grabbed her cell phone and called Dawn.

“Hey Tare. What’s up?” A perky brunette answered on the other end of the line.

“Well, since you haven’t come home in two days and sound so happy…I guess things didn’t go well?” Tara joked.

“Better than well, Tare. We’re…girlfriends.”

Tara could hear her giggling like a school girl and couldn’t help to smile.

“I’m glad to hear that, sweetie. I’m happy for you,” Tara said.

“Thanks, Tare. So, what did you need? I don’t think you called me just because you missed me,” Dawn joked.

“We’re moving today next door. We could use your help and especially Faith’s, since I can’t carry a lot of weight,” Tara said.

“Willow wont probably let you lift anything heavier than a pillow,” Dawn joked again and this time Tara could hear Faith laughing in the background.

“Very funny,” Tara said although she knew Dawn was probably right. “That’s why we need Faith’s help. Tell her I ordered a lot of Chinese food.”

There was a strange sound in the other end.

“We’ll be there in ten minutes, T!” Faith’s voice said in the other end. Tara knew the Slayer loved Chinese food…

Tara laughed. She heard Dawn’s voice saying ‘Give me that!’ in the background. The blonde laughed again.

“I think we’ll go to help, then, Tare. See ya in ten.” Dawn’s voice said, back on the phone.

Tara hung up and went back upstairs. Going up and down the stairs was tiring, especially since she got pregnant, but she wasn’t about to complain. She knew Willow would insist on carry her up and down the stairs or something like that, if she complained.

Willow placed a small box on top of another.

“Baby, I’m going to start taking these boxes to the house. Wanna come?”

“I’ll help,” Tara said and walked towards the bed to grab one of the small boxes.

“Oh, no, missy,” Willow said and stopped her.

“Will, I’m pregnant, not sick,” Tara said.

“But you’re MY girlfriend and you’re pregnant with MY baby so NO WAY I’m letting you carry weight,” Willow said stubbornly.

“Will-”

“No. We’re not discussing this, Tara. You’re pregnant, no way I’m letting you carry weight,” Willow said.

“Willow, okay, I get it, honey.” Tara gave up. She knew there was no use in arguing with her girlfriend.

Willow walked to her and wrapped her arms around Tara’s waist and leaned in to place a short kiss on Tara’s lips.

“You know I worry, baby, I just don’t want anything to happen to you or the baby,” Willow whispered once they pulled apart and rested her forehead against Tara’s.

“I know, I get it,” Tara said.

Willow giggled when the tips of their noses brushed and smiled. The redhead pulled away to sit on the edge of the bed and pulled Tara to her. Willow lift Tara’s shirt and placed a short sweet kiss on her girlfriend’s belly. The redhead pressed her cheek against the baby bump slightly and sighed. She was almost constantly touching her lover’s belly, she needed to do it, she needed to know that this was real, that this wasn’t part of her imagination…

“Will, we should start,” Tara said although she didn’t really want to. She loved it how Willow had the habit of touching her belly or kissing it.

“Yeah. Bring those pillows if you want to,” Willow said as she stood up.

Tara rolled her eyes as she grabbed the four pillows from the bed and followed Willow downstairs and out of the house. She waited as Willow opened the door and entered the house first.

Somebody laughed behind her and Tara turned around to see Dawn and Faith walking towards her, laughing their assess off. They had parked Faith’s t-bird in front of the Summer’s house.

“Told you, Tare!!” Dawn said among the laughter.

“But dude, I’m surprise Red let her carry four!” Faith joked as she laughed.

“You two are very funny. Dawn, wait for the food. Faith, go upstairs and start bringing the boxes, please,” Tara said and entered the house.

Tara entered the house, looking around her in the process. The walls were bare, all the pictures that decorated them were gone but they could easily fix that. The house was basically the same model as the Summer’s house. The only difference was that it was bigger.

Tara entered the master bedroom. The walls were painted with a nice peach color. There was a big oak wardrobe in one corner by the closet door and the bathroom door was in the opposite wall. They had now a four posted bed, which Tara loved since she had always wanted one.


Willow placed the boxes on the floor and waited until Tara left the pillows on the mattress.

“This house is so big…I love it,” Willow said.

“Me too, honey. I love it,” Tara agreed.

Tara walked towards her girlfriend and Willow wrapped her arms around Tara’s shoulders. Tara wrapped hers around Willow’s waist.

“Are you happy with this decision?” Willow asked.

“I am, very, very happy,” Tara replied.

Tara lowered her head and kissed Willow’s lips. The redhead instantly responded and started moving hers against Tara’s…

They were about to deepen the kiss when Faith entered the bedroom carrying two of the biggest boxes.

“Yo, if ya keep makin’-out we’re not gonna finish today, ya know? But keep goin’, it’s hot,” Faith joked as she left the boxes on the floor.

“Um, you’re right, Faith,” Willow agreed. The redhead placed one last kiss on Tara’s lips before leaving the room with Faith.

As they got downstairs, Dawn entered the house holding two plastic bags with the food.

“The food is here,” Dawn said as she walked into the living room and left the food on the coffee table. “Plates? Utensils, Will?”

“They’re in the kitchen. I brought them earlier before Tara got home,” Willow said before leaving the house with Faith.

They walked next door, Dawn had left the door unlocked, and then upstairs.

“Are you sure you can carry all that?” Willow asked when she saw Faith lifting a big box and putting it on top of another big box.

“Easy as cake, Red,” Faith said and stretched the muscles of her arms.

“So I take it that things went well. Are you guys like…dating now?” Willow asked uncomfortably.

“Yeah, we are, Red. She didn’t leave me much of a choice really, but I kinda…” Faith looked at her and cleared her throat. “I thought about what you said… Remembered when you said that...That it was worthy…”

“I wish you both good luck, then,” Willow said and made sure the box she was about to lift was closed. “I want to assume that you DO know that if you break her heart you will see just how much power I got, ‘kay?” Willow looked at her for a moment before lifting the box and heading out of the room.

Faith could swear she saw Willow’s eyes turning black for a fraction of second. The Slayer shivered, and not in a good way, and lifted the two boxes. She followed Willow downstairs.

“Got it, Red. No breakin’ her heart. Don’t plan to,” Faith said.

“Glad to know, Faith,” Willow said.

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

“I’m going to get a shower, I’m all sweaty,” Willow said.

They had moved everything between Willow, Faith and Dawn. Faith had moved the TV from Willow and Tara’s bedroom to the living room of the new house. Mr. and Ms. O’Connell had left them plates and glasses and a lot of utensils since they didn’t need them. In only one day, they were all set up in their new house.

“Thanks for helping, guys. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you, guys,” Willow said.

“It was a pleasure, Will,” Dawn said.

“T got Chinese for lunch and cooked dinner, that’s enough thanks for me,” Faith said and laughed.

“Faith, you’re a pig. How can you eat so much?” Dawn looked at her girlfriend confused.

“Slayer metabolism,” was all Faith said and shrugged. Then she smirked and leaned in to whisper. “And you know how much I like to eat.”

Dawn’s eyes widened and a deep blush spread over her cheeks. Willow and Tara blushed slightly too.

“Anyway, I’m going to shower."

Willow left the room and Tara was left on sitting on the couch. Faith and Dawn were on the loveseat, Dawn’s head was resting on Faith’s shoulder and the Slayer’s arm was around her girlfriend’s shoulders. Tara observed them for a moment. Faith’s hand was unconsciously playing with Dawn’s hair and she was really trying. The Slayer had given all her attention to Dawn, always making sure she was comfortable, if she needed anything… Faith was trying a bit too much, it seemed…but she was really trying…

“I’m going to take this to the kitchen,” Dawn said.

“Dawnie, you don’t have to do that,” Tara hurried to say.

“You did enough for today and I feel like doing something, so let me,” Dawn said as she stood up and started gathering the dishes.

“Why don’t you let me do it, babe?” Faith said.

“You sure?” Dawn looked at her girlfriend.

“Yeah, you know I like to wash the dishes,” Faith said and stood up.

“Okay. Thanks, Faith.”

“No problem, babe.”

Faith leaned in and kissed Dawn before grabbing the dishes from the coffee table and left the room. Dawn smiled as she looked at her leaving and Tara raised an eyebrow.

“You’re glowing,” was all Tara said.

Dawn’s eyes widened.

“What?”

“Not like that. Not that kind of glowing,” Tara clarified and rolled her eyes.

“You scared me for a second, Tare. Don’t do that,” Dawn said.

“Sweetie…”

“Unlike…others, I do have safe sex,” Dawn teased. The brunette crossed her arms across her chest and smirked.

“And you’re NOT going to forget it, are you?” Tara said.

“Nope. Because you and your girlfriend tried to give ME a lecture about safe sex and who got pregnant? Oh yeah, you did,” Dawn kept teasing with an evil smirk.

“And you’re not going to forget it,” Tara said and sighed. She wasn’t really upset, Dawn had made many jokes about it before.

“Never,” Dawn said and giggled.

They fell silent for a few seconds until Tara spoke again.

“Faith’s really trying. Maybe a bit too hard,” Tara commented as if talking about the weather.

“Yes, I know. I’m going to talk to her later,” Dawn said. “She needs to relax.”

“You are ready for what may happen, right?” Tara asked.

“I am. But nothing indicates that I won’t break her heart either,” Dawn said and frowned.

“I know. Just like I know you know that Faith won’t be easy…right?”

“I know. But you know…everybody thinks she’s not easy…the thing is that…it’s easy with her. It’s easy to be with her, to talk, she’s honest, and she’s real…I know she’s trying. And that’s why I’m going to talk to her because I don’t want her to try, I want her to be…her,” Dawn said.

Tara smiled. Dawn had grown up so much. And just like had happened to Willow, it saddened her to realize that Dawn had grown up while nobody could see her…among the death and destruction and the danger…

Faith chose that moment to enter the living room and sat back on the loveseat with Dawn.

“Well, I think it’s a good idea for us to go,” Dawn said and stood up. Faith stood up with her.

“Good thinkin’, D,” Faith agreed.

“I’ll walk you guys to the door, then,” Tara said.

They walked towards the door together. Dawn gave her best friend a warm hug and exited first. Tara placed her hand on Faith’s arm and the Slayer understood.

“Go ahead, D. I’ll catch up with ya in a sec,” Faith said.

“Okay,” was all Dawn said and left. Faith looked at Tara.

“Your turn now, Blondie?” Faith said, only half-joking.

“I don’t have to say that if you hurt her on purpose you’ll find out just how much power I have,” Tara said.

“Too late, Blondie. Red already gave me the shovel speech. Don’t worry, I won’t,” Faith vowed.

“Good. Have a good night, Faith,” Tara said.

“You too, T.” Faith walked out of the house.

“We’re having dinner tomorrow night. Don’t forget it,” Tara said before Faith left.

“Sure, T.” Faith smiled at her friend and walked back to the Summer’s house.

Tara closed the door, made sure it was locked and walked upstairs. She could hear the shower running and for a moment pondered to join Willow but to be honest her feet were aching a little and she wanted to lay down.

Tara took off her shirt and placed it on the foot of the bed. The blonde unbuttoned the side buttons of her skirt and placed it on top of her shirt on the bed. She should have a shower but she was quite tired despite the fact that she wasn’t allowed to do anything, so she simply got into bed and rolled onto her side away from the door.

Tara sensed her lover entering the bedroom and the mattress sinking under the light weight of her girlfriend’s body. Willow scooted closer and wrapped one arm around Tara’s waist pulling her own body closer. Tara shivered at the contact of bare skin against her back. She could feel her girlfriend’s hard nipples against her skin and that sent a bolt of pleasure straight to her core.

“Ya know, I was thinking about you,” Willow whispered, her mouth near enough to Tara’s ear to make the blonde shiver again. “While I was having my shower, I was thinking that we have to christen all the rooms from our new house. And that may we could…Oh, I don’t know, start by our bed…” Willow placed a series of kisses from Tara’s shoulder blade to her neck and Tara could feel the fire start to raise within her body…it was irresistible, it was like a tornado of fire that consumed it all, including her… “What do you think, baby?”

“I think that is a great idea, Will,” Tara whispered and tried to roll onto her back but Willow didn’t let her.

“No, stay like that, baby…lean back against me,” Willow instructed, her voice no more than a whisper in her girlfriend’s ear.

Tara did as she was told, she liked it when Willow took control of their love making, which was most of the times, but she didn’t mind, of course. The blonde leaned back against Willow. She was half on her back and half on her side, supported only by Willow’s body. Willow tucked Tara’s hair behind the blonde’s ear and placed a sweet kiss on Tara’s cheek and another on Tara’s lips. Tara instantly answered the kiss by parting her lips and allowing her tongue to caress Willow’s bottom lip. She liked it when they made love slowly but since she got pregnant, her hormones had different ideas…Willow deepened the kiss immediately, their tongues fighting for dominance and exploring the known territory with almost raw passion.

Willow placed her elbow on the bed to support more her weight and Tara’s body as her other hand explored her lover’s body. She cupped one of Tara’s breasts and massaged the tender flesh, purposely avoiding to touch the hard nipple.

“Umm, Will…don’t tease…” Tara gasped when Willow started circling the hard nipple with her fingertip, making her body burn with desire and pool between her legs. “Actually, you could hurry a bit there…”

“You’re ready so soon, baby?” Willow asked although she knew that since getting pregnant, Tara could get ready with a few kisses. “Where is the fun in that?”

“Yeah well, I’m burning over here so I wouldn’t make myself to wait, really…” Tara gasped. Willow had pinched her nipple and that made her back arch into the touch. The redhead teased the valley between her breasts as she switched to the neglected breast… “Willow…” It was a warning.

“Umm, you’re not fun, baby,” Willow joked and smiled mischievously since Tara couldn’t exactly see her.

“Willow…Don’t tease,” Tara demanded.

“Why not? It’s so fun,” Willow whispered in Tara’s ear as she gave the same treatment to the right breast. Tara’s hips bucked slightly, as if seeking the friction Willow wasn’t providing.

“Don’t tease!” Tara whined. “Um, yeah…” Willow’s hand started her descent by caressing Tara’s belly and her thighs. “Will, please…”

Willow caressed the skin of Tara’s thighs up until the blonde’s knee and back, she caressed Tara’s navel with her fingertips, teasing her until Tara’s hormones were screaming for release, begging…

“Willow!” Tara’s head was thrown back, resting against Willow’s arm. Her back was arched and she couldn’t take it anymore, she needed her, she needed to feel Willow… The redhead had won once again, her hormones were begging… “If you don’t make me come right now I swear we won’t have sex for two weeks!” Tara yelled between breaths.

Willow’s eyes widened.

“What? You wouldn’t do that,” Willow said, her voice losing all excitement.

“Oh yes, I would, Willow!” Tara panted and her hips bucked slightly again. “Please, Willow…”

“Okay, baby…” Willow wasn’t going to risk pissing Tara off.

Tara parted her legs. Willow made her bend her leg up and rested it against hers.

“Oh, Goddess, yes…right there…” Tara’s eyes closed when one of Willow’s fingers teased her slit. The digit was pressed up a little and Willow met the pool of wetness of her lover’s sex. Willow added another finger and explored the known territory of Tara’s sex slowly, tracing circles around Tara’s clit, causing it to throb with desire. Tara’s muscles were getting tauter and the volcano within her body was about to explode, it wanted to explode…and it would be so delicious when it did… “Willow, please…”

Tara gasped for air when she felt her lover’s fingers circling her entrance. It was such a deliciously sweet torture. A part of her didn’t want it to end and the other 90% of her body was begging for release, for the release she was more than ready for…

“Sweet Willow!” Tara cried out and her back arched even more when the two fingers entered her and started a pumping motion, in and out…

“Goddess, baby, I love those pregnant hormones,” Willow said as she kept moving her fingers in and out of her lover’s sex. The tight walls were trying to keep her inside but there was just so much wetness that it was impossible…

“Yes, yes, there…oh Goddess…”

Tara bit her lip and her hips bucked against Willow’s hand. She was almost there…she was ready to explode… Tara’s hips bucked wildly when Willow started hitting her G-spot with every thrust, causing her to go closer and closer to the edge of ecstasy…

Willow moved her wrist slightly and the heel of her hand applied constant pressure and friction to Tara’s clit.

Tara opened her eyes again and gasped for air. She was so close to the edge, she could feel it, just a tiny bit more…

“I love you, Tare…let it go, baby,” Willow whispered in her ear and Tara couldn’t see anything else…Fireworks had exploded in front of her eyes and the roaring volcano within her body had exploded with all the fury of nature… “You’re so beautiful, Tara…so beautiful…”

Willow kept whispering words of love and adoration as Tara came down from her orgasm.

“Wow,” was all Tara could say. The blonde felt Willow started to pull her fingers out of her and Tara shook her head. “No, don’t pull out…Don’t…Stay inside.”

“You sure, baby?” Willow asked.

“Yes. Let me rest on my back,” Tara said and they moved awkwardly, since Willow’s fingers were still inside Tara. The blonde moaned again when Willow’s fingers brushed against her G-spot again.

Willow supported her weight on her elbow and leaned in to kiss her girlfriend, being careful not to lay any weight on her. Tara’s hands grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up, making Willow’s sex to enter in contact with Tara’s thigh. Willow moaned when she felt the sweet friction and lowered her head as she took a deep breath.

Tara pulled her into another kiss, making Willow to support herself on her knees. The redhead placed her hand flat on the mattress to support her weight as her tongue kept fighting for dominance.

“Holy fuck!” Willow hadn’t even noticed the hand sneaking up her thigh until two of Tara’s fingers were inside her. The redhead arched her back a little and instantly started moving her hips in rhythm with Tara’s thrusts.
Willow started moving her fingers as well and Tara’s hips started bucking again against her hand.

Both the redhead and the blonde looked at each other…the world was in their eyes…

Soon, the time stopped… Everything was in slow motion… The only image in the world was the one of their lover, head thrown back and mouth open in a silent cry of ecstasy…Everything else just disappeared and they became part of the blinding pleasure that made their backs arched and their bodies begged for air…

AUTHOR'S NOTE:: OKay, first I want to say....Thank you Rick (willowtaralover) for writing the fighting scene.... It was AWESOME but unfortunately, I had to modify most of it because it didnt quite fit with the story. I promised you I'd use and I did, I only modified a few things. Thank, buddy.

Anyway, since I don't think you wanna keep hearing me speak... I'll leave you to the Chapter....



CHAPTER 29- Surprise!!!




Faith kept her head turning constantly, looking in all directions where there were shadows in case vampires were lurking in search of victims to literally, bleed dry.

“Dude, this is dead,” Faith complained. They haden’t seen not even one vampire while patrolling that night.

Willow, who was walking by her side, nodded and Giles nodded as well.

“Indeed, the lack of vampires cannot mean something good,” Giles agreed.

“Ya think, Giles?” Willow joked.

Faith stopped walking and held out an arm. Willow and Giles stopped walking and pulled out stakes.

There was a sudden roar from not too far ahead of the trio. Ten of the black cloaked bloodsucking fiends suddenly appeared from out of nowhere and surrounded them.

“Guess the game’s on guys,” Faith said as she reached for the stake that was tucked into the rear of her leather pants.

The Dark Slayer quickly dived into battle with three vamps at the same time while Willow and Giles turned to face the others. The redhead suddenly found herself face to face with one of the most vicious vampires she had ever encountered. Its face was badly burned. It resembled a beef burger more than a face and yellow pus came from open wounds on its face.

Willow reacted quickly and lifted her hands in the air, hurried to say a spell under her breath and flames flew from her hands straight to the ugly vamp, which turned to ashes in less than a second.

“Giles, Faith DOWN!” Willow yelled, sweat started covering her body as she fought to maintain the spell long enough to throw more flames at the others vampires.

Giles and Faith dropped to the ground as six of the vampires were turned to dust in a matter of seconds. Willow lowered her hands, her breathing short and elaborated, and pulled out a knife that Faith had given her and a stake. She was tired and her body felt like it was on fire but she was going to keep fighting. Giles jumped to his feet and talked a vampire, sending them both to the ground.

Faith, back on her feet, was in her element fighting two of the vamps left after Willow’s spell. She punched the first one hard in the face before wrapping her arms round it’s neck and using it to provide momentum aiding her to swing around and kick another of the vamps in the head. While the one she kicked was lying dazed on the ground, she whipped out her stake from the rear of her pants and stabbed it into the non-beating heart of the blood-sucking monster.

Whilst still in the stabbing position over the vamp on the floor the first that she had punched had recovered and kicked her in the ribcage, winding her.

“FUCK! You mother fucker…” she muttered rising and quickly aimed kicks of her own at its sternum and groin. Then while it was still getting back its balance, Faith dusted it. By her reckoning there was only two left.

Willow ducked behind a large headstone and the vampire’s fist collided with the stone. Using the headstone to impulse her, she kicked the vampire’s ribs making him bend and fall on his knees. She was about to dust him when Faith yelled not to dust him yet.

“What?”

Faith ran to her and kicked the vampire in the head hard enough to make him loose consciousness.

“We need to know more about them,” was all Faith said before she ran to Giles to get the vampire off her Watcher.

Again, she kicked the vampire in the head hard enough to leave him unconscious and extended her hand for Giles to take.

“Thank you, Faith,” Giles said and got up from the ground.

Faith quickly dusted the vampire and then they walked towards where Willow was, watching over the unconscious vampire.

“What are we gonna do with him?” Willow asked.

“Let’s take him to that mausoleum,” Faith said. She grabbed his arms and let Giles grab his feet.

They carried the unconscious vampire to the mausoleum. After Faith broke the lock of the door and made sure it was empty, they dragged him inside and Willow bounded him with magic to a column.

“Again I ask, what are we gonna do with him?” Willow asked.

Faith pulled out the spare stake she had in her back pocket.

“Give me the knife I gave ya,” Faith said.

“What for?” Willow asked and didn’t give it to her.

“Give it to me, Red,” Faith said firmly.

“Faith, what are you planning to do?” Giles asked.

“Gonna make him sing,” was all Faith said and the Slayer looked away.

“What? Faith, are you…Oh.” Willow took a deep breath.

“I will take care of it,” Giles said. “Give me the knife, Willow.” The Watcher and the Witched looked at each other and finally Willow nodded, giving him the knife. “You and Faith should go out and make sure there are not more vampires.”

“Let’s go, Faith,” Willow said and turned to leave but Faith didn’t follow her. “Let’s go, Faith!” Willow repeated firmly.

Faith looked at Giles frowning for another second before following Willow out of the mausoleum.

“What the fuck was that, Red? That didn’t look like Giles,” Faith said.

“Because that was Ripper, that wasn’t Giles,” was all Willow said.

Faith stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Willow wide eyed.

“Fuck…”

“Yeah. Let’s sit here and wait for him,” Willow said and sat on a small headstone.

Faith sat by her side and they waited in silence.

“So…how’s Blondie?” Faith asked, breaking the silence.

“She’s great. We’ve been going crazy with the nursery but it’s so worthy,” Willow said and smiled instantly. “And you? How you been with Dawn? I ask because it’s not like we see either of you much anymore,” Willow joked.

Faith chuckled.

“Yeah well...Not my fault, trust me. Most of the time we’re in D’s place-”

“I don’t wanna know,” Willow cut her off and chuckled.

“Watching TV, Red,” Faith finished her sentence and chuckled again. “I think D’s spending a lot of time with me ‘cause she won’t once your baby is here. She’ll be all the time cooin’ and spoilin’ your kid,” Faith added and both of them share a laugh.

“Yeah. I know,” Willow agreed and nodded. “Our baby is going to be really spoiled.”

“Look, the G-man’s comin’,” Faith said and they both stood up.

Giles looked tired and there was blood all over his shirt. He was holding something in his hand that he quietly gave Willow. It was a medallion of two pentagrams joined by a snake.

“Did he say anything?” Willow asked, trying hard to ignore the fact that Giles’s shirt was covered with blood.

“The Order of Judas,” Giles replied.

“Do you know what that is, Giles?” Faith asked, looking at the medallion in Willow’s hands.

“I am afraid I do not. We must do research,” was all Giles said before walking towards Faith’s car as he took off his shirt and was left with nothing but a white t-shirt he was wearing underneath.

“Should we…say anything?” Willow whispered to Faith as they walked a few feet behind the Watcher. Faith shook her head.

“He needs to be alone,” was all Faith said and Willow understood.

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

The next afternoon, Tara was lying on her back, her almost six months pregnant belly was rounded and she kept insisting it was too big. She and Willow were waiting for Carolina to see if everything was okay with the baby. So far, the couple of tests they had made were all perfectly okay.

They had already decided to use the bedroom next to theirs as a nursery and Tara had already painted a forest with trees and flowers and birds on the walls. They had gotten a crib already, a chest of drawers and a changing table all hand made by Xander.

Carolina asked Tara to lift her blouse. Willow, as usual, helped her and the blonde shivered when Carolina applied the cold gel on her belly.

“Okay, here we go…” Carolina said and the tiny image of their baby appeared on screen. Willow and Tara smiled widely at the image of their baby… “Ready to hear the heart beat for the first time?”

Both Witches nodded energetically and Carolina pressed a button. A strong steady rhythm filled the room.

Willow noticed that the heart beat was irregular so she frowned.

“Carolina, what’s wrong? Why does it sound like that? Is there something wrong?” Willow asked, alarmed.

“Is there something wrong?” Tara asked.

“No, there’s nothing wrong. That sound…is your other baby,” Carolina said, sounding and looking completely impressed.

“What?” Both Tara and Willow asked at the same time.

“Yes…” Carolina moved the little device, looking for the other baby. Another form appeared on the screen finally. “There it is. Oh my God, I can’t believe this. You’re having twins.”

“Twins? As in…two babies?” Willow asked.

“Yes,” Carolina confirmed.

Once again, Willow’s eyes rolled back into her head and everything went black…

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

Willow felt dizzy, her eyes were closed but she could feel the world spinning. The redhead finally opened her eyes and once again, her eyes met Tara’s.

“Déjà vu…” Willow whispered. “Tare, I had the weirdest dream ever.”

Tara bit her lip, just like she had done months ago. Willow sat up and looked around. They were still in the sonogram room, Tara was sitting on a chair next to the bed.

“That wasn’t a dream, was it?” Willow asked.

Tara shook her head.

“No, it wasn’t,” Tara replied.

Willow’s eyes widened.

“Tara, we’re having twins! Two babies!”

“I know. Are you mad, Willow?” Tara asked.

“Mad? No, I’m not. I just…shocked,” Willow answered. “Twins!”

Tara sat by her side and Willow grabbed her hand just as Carolina entered the room with an ice pack.

“Good, you’re awake. Put it on your head, Willow.” Carolina handed the redhead the ice pack. “You can’t keep fainting, you know?” Carolina joked.

“Have somebody tell you that your girlfriend is pregnant with twins and let’s see if you don’t pass out,” Willow said.

Carolina let out a small laugh.

“So I am forced to say this…Go Willow, go Tara. You girls have seriously impressed me,” Carolina said.

“How come we didn’t notice another baby before?” Willow asked.

“Because it was hidden by the other baby. This was the first time we heard the heart beat, so I’m not surprised. And if we remember the circumstances in which you Tara became pregnant, well, it’s not a big surprise,” Carolina said.

“What you mean?” Willow asked.

“You told me you were given the capacity to create life for a fraction of time. The body, every time one person is having sex, gets ready for reproduction. In your case, since the reproduction cycle doesn’t get completed, your bodies have that extra…pent up energy, if you want to call it that way.”

'That would explain why we go at it like bunnies,' Willow thought and couldn’t help to giggle. Tara glared at her as if she knew exactly what Willow was thinking.

“So you mean that is why I’m pregnant with twins?” Tara asked, looking back at Carolina.

“According to what you told me, yes. That would be the most logical explanation,” Carolina replied.

“So both babies are okay, right? I mean, I know you said they were but-”

“They’re better than okay. Right size, weight, everything looked normal,” Carolina confirmed with a smile.

“Good, I’m glad,” Tara said.

“It’s awesome,” Willow added and smiled at Tara.

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

“We can totally go shopping for another crib tomorrow. We haven’t bought any clothes except the ones I got but we could look into it. Oh! Oh! And we could get one of those strollers for twins, those are so cute! What do you think they will be? Two boys? Two girls? Boy and girl? That would be perfect! That would be cool because we’d have both and it would be like…balanced, don’t you think? What do you think? Baby, are you okay?”

Willow had been babbling while driving back to their house. The redhead pulled over as soon as she could and turned to look at Tara.

“Tara, baby, are you okay?” She saw tears in Tara’s eyes. “Oh baby…you’re not happy that we’re having twins?”

Tara looked at her with tears in her eyes.

“I am. I’m really happy, Willow. It’s just…I can’t believe it. Twins…two babies,” Tara said.

“We are, Tare, everything is going to be okay. I promise. Just, please…Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Willow asked.

“Of course I am. I was ready to be a mother. For us to be mothers together. I’m just a bit shocked still. We’re going to have twins, I can’t believe it…I’m so…I’m so happy,” Tara said.

Willow reached out and grabbed Tara’s hand. The redhead lifted her lover’s hand and placed a short sweet kiss on the back of Tara’s hand.

“It’s okay, baby. I get it,” Willow said.

“How are you about this? You passed out…again,” Tara said and frowned slightly.

Willow smiled.

“I did but I’m so happy about it! Twins! We’re having twins! And we can but all these matching super cute outfits for them! And they’re going to be like…a mini-Tara! I’m going to have two mini-Tara! And Goddess, you’re the most wonderful woman in the world!” Willow finished with a look of utter adoration and love in her face.

Tara laughed.

“You say that because I’ll be the one pushing them out of my body,” Tara joked.

Willow laughed as well.

“That and I love you,” Willow said.

Both Wiccans moved at the same time. They met half-way and shared a short sweet kiss.

“Dawn must be in her house already. Wanna go and tell her?” Willow suggested. She felt like screaming it from the rooftop, she wanted the world to know Tara was pregnant with her babies and that she loved her…no, she loved THEM, the three of them…

“Yeah, let’s go,” Tara said. She really wanted to share that wonderful news with her Dawnie first.

They drove to the house in silence, both basking in their love and the feeling of their joined hands. They left the car in their driveway and went to the house next door. Dawn had insisted in them keeping their keys, in case something happened, but they had decided they would only use them in case of emergency, nothing else. They respected Dawn’s privacy after all…and they just knew they would end up walking in on her and Faith at some point so they wanted to avoid that…

Tara knocked on the door and they waited. They heard a loud thud and what sounded like somebody running upstairs. Willow and Tara looked at each other, both raising an eyebrow in questioning.

“Hey, guys!” Faith opened the door, sounding way to perky to be her, and led them to the living room. Faith sat on the couch as Willow and Tara sat on the armchair. “What’s up, guys?”

“Well, we had some news to share with Dawn and you,” Willow said and tried hard to hold back the threat of giggles that were about to erupt from her mouth.

Faith looked completely flushed and didn’t seem to be able to stay in one position. She kept shifting on the couch and was completely avoiding to look her them.

“Good news? That’s great. Did ya find anything on the vamps?”

“No, we haven’t gotten lucky on that,” Willow said, a little frustration in her words.

Willow took another look at Faith and couldn’t help to start giggling like a school girl. Tara hid her face in the crock of Willow’s neck to try not to laugh.

“What?” Faith had the feeling they were laughing at her.

Willow couldn’t stop giggling. The redhead pointed to her own neck and Faith grabbed her cell phone from the coffee table, using it as a mirror. She had a huge love bite right over her pulse point…

“Fuck! D, what the fuck!” Faith stood up looking pissed. The Slayer looked at the ceiling. “Dawn! Get your ass here right now!”

“She ran upstairs, didn’t she?” Willow guessed.

“Yeah.”

Dawn entered the living room. She was way too embarrassed to look up. Her face was completely red and was avoiding to look at Willow or Tara.

“Hey, guys,” was all Dawn was able to say. She knew they knew. She knew Willow and Tara knew what they been doing before they got there…and she didn’t like to know that they knew…

“You better have enough make-up upstairs,” Faith said. She wasn’t really pissed but it was annoying to deal with the hickeys. And she knew Dawn loved to mark her, not that she needed to though…

“Why?” Dawn looked up and her blush got even darker. “Oh…I’m sorry?”

“I thought we agreed to the ‘no hickeys’ rule,” Faith said and looked at her girlfriend with a raised eyebrow.

Dawn frowned and pouted, sticking out her bottom lip.

“I’m really, really sowy?” Dawn said in a small child-like voice.

Faith narrowed her eyes. She had to fight hard to not kiss Dawn’s pout away. The Slayer wasn’t going to admit it out loud, of course, but she loved it when Dawn’s pouted. And she had the feeling that Dawn knew it so she did it on purpose…

“We’ll talk about this later,” was all Faith said before going upstairs. Dawn waited until her girlfriend was gone but burst out giggling. She looked at Willow and Tara.

“She’s not really pissed. But she’s going to try to get even later,” Dawn said and started giggling again.

“Okay, I don’t need to know about this,” Willow said. “We have awesome news.”

“We just came from out appointment with Carolina,” Tara added.

Tara pulled out the folder where they kept the sonograms and handed the two pictures to Dawn. The brunette smiled.

“Aww, how cute. They gave you a copy? Can I keep it?” Dawn asked, excited.

“The other is not a copy,” Willow said.

“It’s the…other baby,” Tara commented.

Dawn frowned until realization hit her like a ton of bricks and her eyes widened.

“Two babies?” The former Key asked, as if not believing it.

Tara nodded.

“Twins. We’re having twins,” Tara confirmed.

“OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! TWINS!” Dawn squealed and jumped up and down, excited.

Tara and Willow stood up. Dawn hugged Tara gently and then she squeezed Willow.

“You’re having twins! I can’t believe it! Congratulations, guys,” Dawn said. “Faith! Faith! Come here!” Dawn yelled.

Faith ran downstairs and looked around, as if trying to see a demon about to attack them.

“What happened?” Faith asked.

“Look at this! Twins!” Dawn squealed and showed her the two pictures.

Faith grabbed the two sonograms and the Slayer looked at them, obviously surprised.

“Twins? For real?” She looked at Willow and Tara.

“The second baby was hiding behind the first baby,” Tara said.

“Holy shit! Wow…Twins, T, that’s…awesome. Congratulations, guys,” Faith said.

Incredibly, Faith hugged Tara gently.

“Seriously…That’s awesome,” Faith said honestly.

“Thank you, Faith,” Tara said, smiling at her friend’s honesty.

“Thank you, Faith and wow, no jokes?” Willow said and smiled.

“I’m thinkin’ and laughin’ in my head, Red,” Faith joked.

After a few minutes of talking Willow and Tara went to their house. They took off their shoes and Willow laid down on the couch. Tara laid down on her back and smiled when Willow placed her hand on her lover’s pregnant belly. The redhead’s hand sneaked under Tara’s blouse and started to caress Tara’s belly as usual.

“Baby, I love you, did I tell you that?” Willow said and placed a short kiss on Tara’s clavicle.

“I love you too, Willow,” Tara said.

Willow lowered her head and rested her cheek against Tara’s belly, being careful not to press on it.

“We already love you, babies. You sure gave us a surprise but we can’t wait for you guys to be here,” Willow whispered to Tara’s belly. “Mom and mommy love you two, so much…”

And then they both could feel it…one small kick inside Tara’s belly followed by another small kick...Willow’s head shot up and looked at Tara wide eyed. Tara’s eyes were wide open as well and her mouth was opened in shocked.

“Did they just…” Willow tried to say but couldn’t finish.

“Kicked. Their first kicked! Oh Goddess, Willow, they kicked!” Tara’s eyes filled with tears and so did Willow’s.

“My Goddess, they kicked…I can’t believe this…” For the first time in her life, Willow didn’t know what to say…

Willow simply leaned in and placed a sweet loving kiss on Tara’s lips, her hand never leaving Tara’s belly. The blonde Wiccan answered instantly, moving her lips against Willow’s and entwining her fingers with the fiery red hair she loved so much…

“You make so happy, Tara. And you and out babies…you’re just the most amazing thing that ever happened to me,” Willow whispered against Tara’s lips.

“I feel that way too, Willow. You…you saved me, and not just from them. You save me from myself, from my fears and insecurities. And now our babies…I don’t know what I did to deserve all this but I have it and I love you, so much,” Tara’s said, her voice cracking up a little.

“You deserve the world, Tara,” Willow said and rested her head in the crock of Tara’s neck.

“You are the world to me, Willow,” Tara whispered but she knew Willow had heard her.

Willow looked at her and they kissed again. It was perfect, every little kiss felt like the first…pure bliss and perfection… it was life…

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

“Willow? I was thinking…”

They were still in the same position on the couch. Willow’s head was resting on Tara’s chest, hearing the peaceful heart beating. Her hand never left Tara’s belly, she couldn’t keep it away…

“What is it, baby?”

“I was thinking that we could, you know…ask Faith to be the other baby’s Godmother,” Tara said.

“Faith? Um, baby, I know she’s your best friend but I thought we would ask Xander,” Willow said.

“You want Xander? Um, okay, no problem, then,” Tara said and gave her a small smile.

“No, wait. You want Faith?” Willow propped herself on her elbow and looked at her lover.

“Well, besides you…Faith IS my best friend. You know that. But don’t worry. Xander deserves it,” Tara said. She knew that it was true, Xander did deserve it. He had been like an older brother for both of them for years. She just couldn’t help to think about Faith first… She wanted Faith to be part of her family. She couldn’t help it. They had so many things in common, not just their pasts…

“Baby, we should talk about this. I mean-” Willow was cut off by Tara’s finger pressed against her lips.

“No. Don’t worry. Xander deserves it and he will be a proud Godfather,” Tara said.

“But-”

“No. Xander is like a big brother to us, so he’s perfect,” Tara said, cutting her off again.

“You’re sure?” Willow asked.

“I am,” Tara said and smiled at her.

“You’re the best, baby…” Willow leaned in and kissed her again.

AUTHOR'S NOTE 1:: Okay, first.....This is what most of you have been waiting for....Xander's reaction and we find out the sex of the twins!!! OH yeah!

AUTHOR'S NOTE 2:: Okay, I know that in theory, each baby could have a Godfather and a Godmother..... but I seen way too many times that it is NOT such a good idea to pick couples...even if they're married.... So I decided to make it simple and use only ONE for each twin....

AUTHOR'S NOTE 3:: I'm sorry that I didn't post this sooner... but for the past two days I have been WAY TOO stressed (which means a lot of pain for me). Imagine a REALLY strong headache and add to it neck and shoulders pain and fever.... yeah, that's how I've been these past coupel of days....


Anyway...I leave you to the Chapter.... Hope you like it!!!!




CHAPTER 30- Our babies…




Willow closed the book, frustrated. Xander looked up from the other side of the table.

“Found nothing?” Xander asked.

“Not a word. Not a reference to the Order of Judas…nothing!” Willow took a deep breath and sighed. “You?”

Xander closed his book as well and yawned.

“Nothing. The same, not a word,” Xander replied.

They looked at Giles, who was sitting on the stairs that led to the upper floor.

“Did ya find anything, Giles?” Xander asked.

The Watched looked up from the book he was reading, then closed it and walked towards the table.

“Not a word.” Giles took her his glasses and started cleaning them.

“We have to find something. We’ve been doing research for a month. There has to be something about those weird old-school vamps,” Xander said.

Something clicked inside Willow’s mind. The redhead slapped her own forehead.

“Goddess, how could I not think of this before? I’m an idiot!” Willow exclaimed.

“You thought of something?” Xander asked.

Willow was already typing in her laptop at full speed. She only stopped to grab her cell phone and make a call.

“Hey, it’s me. Yes. Yes. Look, I don’t have the time to talk right now, sorry. I’m emailing you a picture. Yes, we need your help. Please, make him take a look at it. Thank you.”

Willow was talking on the phone when Tara entered the shop. Her now 6 months pregnant belly was getting bigger and bigger…but Tara didn’t complain. She was too happy to complain about how difficult it was to find the perfect position to sleep at night, or how sometimes her feet hurt or that she was constantly hungry. She was loving every minute of it! She loved how Willow was always willing to satisfy any craving she may have, not matter how small. She loved how Willow would spend hours talking to her belly, telling their babies fairy tells or just telling them how much they loved them. She loved how it had became their night routine to let Willow spread cream on her belly to prevent the stretch marks, she loved that every second Willow showed her how much she loved her and desired her…

“Will, we’re going to be late for our appointment,” Tara said.

“Shit, I’m going to be late. Yes, call me tonight, yes. Talk to you later,” she told the person on the other end and hang up.

“Will, what-” Xander tried to ask but Willow had already packed her things and was walking towards Tara.

“I’ll explain later tonight, I promise. Now we gotta go. See ya guys later,” Willow said, looking over her shoulder to her friends as she walked to the door with her girlfriend.

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

“Okay, girls. Would you like to know the sex?”

They were back in the sonogram room with Carolina. With the shock of finding out they were having twins, they completely had forgotten about seeing if they can find out the sex, although Willow and Tara hadn’t talked about it, really.

Willow looked at Tara and Tara returned the look.

It was clear that Willow was saying ‘You choose. I’m happy with whatever you choose.’. Tara nodded and looked at Carolina.

“Yes.”

“Okay. You sure?” Tara nodded again and her grip on Willow’s hand tightened. “Let’s see… Well, it looks like…one of your babies is a boy…” Carolina smiled. “Congratulations.”

Willow looked at Tara, smiling.

“A boy! We’re having a boy!” Willow bounce up and down on the balls of her feet.

“And… I’m sure your other baby is a…girl! Well done, girls!” Carolina said as she stared at the image of the second baby on the screen.

Willow’s jaw hit the floor.

“A girl!” Both Willow and Tara’s smiles grew bigger.

A few minutes later, after Willow had helped to clean her girlfriend’s belly and a Tara was able to sit up, the redhead hugged her close.

“I love you, baby, so much,” Willow said. The redhead took her girlfriend’s face with her hands and kissed her, not caring if Carolina was still the room.

“I love you too, Will,” Tara replied with tears in her eyes. They hugged again.

Carolina smiled at the young couple.

'To be young and in love...' Carolina Stevens thought and mentally chuckled.

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

Willow and Tara entered their house, almost floating in the air. Both Wiccans sat down on the couch.

“I guess now we can start buying clothes,” Tara said and gave her girlfriend that lop-side smirk that was only for her.

“We could go shopping tomorrow, baby,” Willow agreed excitedly.

Tara yawned. She got tired really easy these days.

“Will? Want to take a nap?”

“Sure, baby,” Willow said.

Willow got up first and extended her hand. Tara smiled as she grabbed the offered hand and let her redheaded girlfriend to lead her upstairs. After closing the bedroom’s door, Willow stood in front of her love and grabbed the hem of Tara’s shirt. The blonde chuckled after she realized that Willow wanted to undress her so she lifted her arms up in the air while Willow took off her shirt. The redhead knelt on the floor and slowly opened the buttons of Tara’s skirt, then she hooked her thumbs on the waist band of the skirt and dragged them down. Tara stepped out of the skirt and waited until Willow placed it all on the foot of the bed.

Willow smirked sensually when grabbed the hem of her own shirt and took it off slowly. Then she lowered the zipper of her jeans and pulled them down.

They got into bed. Tara instantly rolled onto her side and Willow spooned her back. Willow placed her hand on Tara’s belly as usual and a kiss on Tara’s shoulder blade. Tara smiled.

“Ummm,” Tara purred. “You could continue doing that but a little bit lower, honey…” Tara said, sounding sleepy.

Willow chuckled.

“Sleep, baby. There’s plenty of time for that later. Get some rest. I love you,” Willow said.

“Umm…Love you too, Will,” Tara whispered.

Willow’s phone started ringing and the redhead quickly got out of bed and grabbed her pants from the foot of the bed. Willow ran out of the room to not wake up Tara, still holding the pants.

“Cordelia, what’s up?” Willow asked as soon as she reached the living room.

“Angel and I are getting there as soon as the sun is gone,” Cordelia’s voice said on the other end.

“What’s wrong? Why are you coming here?” Willow asked and frowned.

“You will want to hear this in person, Will.” Cordelia said.

“Do I call a meeting?” Willow asked.

“Call a meeting,” Cordelia said.

“Damn. So you’ll be here around 7?”

“Around 8. Sorry but I gotta go now, Will,” Cordelia said.

They both hang up and Willow left her cell phone.

“Damn, damn. Not now, please, not now…”

Willow put her pants on and sat down on the couch. The redhead rested her elbows and her knees and her head on her hands.

“Please, not now. Not now…”

Willow took a deep breath and put herself together. She had to be strong. The redhead grabbed her cell phone again and wrote a text message.

Meeting at my house.
8 o’ clock.
Angel and Cordy are coming.

Willow sent it to Faith and Xander. Willow dialed Giles’s phone.

“Hello?”

“Giles, it’s me, Willow.”

“Oh, Willow. Is there anything you need?”

“There’s a meeting at my house tonight. 8 o’ clock. Angel and Cordy are coming,” Willow said.

“Did they tell you why they are coming?”

“No, but it’s important. I’ll tell Xander to pick you up. It’s not a good idea to be alone right now,” Willow said.

“Of course, of course. Do you need me to bring anything?”

“I’m going to re-charge the protection spell we put on the house while Tara sleeps. We have everything we need here. We could use some weapons though,” Willow said.

“Alright. I’ll bring some weapons.”

“See ya later, Giles,” Willow said before hanging up.

Willow wrote and sent the text message to Xander indicating him to pick Giles up as she ascended the stairs. The redhead put the cell phone back in her jean pocket and entered quietly the bedroom. Tara was still fast asleep. Willow grabbed her clothes and her shoes and made sure to close the door quietly, being careful not to wake Tara up.

After getting all the ingredients, Willow set up the candles and herbs in a circle in the living room. The redhead knelt down in the middle of the circle and started chanting…

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

“Hey guys.”

Willow opened the door to Faith and Dawn. They entered the house and Willow noticed they were holding hands. The redhead had to admit they did look good together. Faith and Dawn sat on the loveseat. Faith’s right arm was instantly around Dawn’s waist and the brunette instantly leaned into Faith’s embrace.

“Where is Tara?” Dawn asked.

“Upstairs sleeping, she needed a nap. By the way, we found out the sex of the twins,” Willow said and smiled as she sat down on the couch.

“Really?” Dawn looked at her wide eyed.

“We’re having a girl and a boy!” Willow would have been bouncing up and down if she wasn’t as worried as she was.

“Oh my God! Really? Girl and boy?” Dawn giggled, excited.

“Yes.” Willow gave them a little smiled.

Dawn looked at Faith.

“You so owe me 20 bucks,” Dawn said to her girlfriend.

“Damn. I was convinced they were two girls. I’ll pay ya later, babe,” Faith said and grinned.

“Okay, later,” Dawn agreed, knowing the way her girlfriend would pay.

Faith looked at Willow.

“What’s up, Red? You’re not happy?”

“I am. I’m just worried,” Willow said.

“Why? There’s something wrong with the babies?” Dawn asked.

“With Tara?”

“No. They’re perfect. I’m worried about this whole deal with Angel and Cordy. I don’t know what they’re going to say and it’s driving me crazy,” Willow said.

“They’re comin’? What for?” Faith asked.

Willow frowned.

“You didn’t get my message? Isn’t that why you’re here?” Willow asked, confused.

“We came to see if you guys wanted to go to the Bronze with us after dinner. I didn’t get any message,” Dawn said and pulled out her cell phone from her jean’s pocket.

“I sent it to you, Faith,” Willow said.

“I didn’t get a message,” Faith replied.

Faith looked for her cell phone in her pockets and frowned.

“I don’t have it.” She looked at Dawn. “I think I left it in your bedroom.”

Dawn blushed slightly.

“Go, look for it now.” Dawn ordered. “Go.”

“Sorry, babe.” Faith kissed her cheek and left the house.

Faith left and Dawn avoided looking at Willow.

“Sorry.”

“Dawn…I don’t wanna know about it but I think we’re all adults here, aren’t we? Besides, you could just have been watching a movie,” Willow joked and gave her a little smirk.

“So you don’t know what Angel and Cordy want?” Dawn asked, changing the subject.

“No and I’m worried. I don’t want something bed to happen now, not now…” Willow looked down and sighed.

“Tara and the twins…” Dawn’s eyes widened slightly. “They’ll be okay, Will, all of us are here for them. We won’t let anything happen to them,” Dawn reassured her friend.

“I know and that’s what is keeping me sane right now,” Willow commented.

Faith entered the house again while she checked her cell phone. The Slayer sat down by her girlfriend’s side again.

“Damn. I got the message and didn’t hear it,” Faith said and frowned.

“It’s okay, Faith, we’re here now.” Dawn placed a kiss on Faith’s shoulder and snuggled her side almost instantly.

“So you don’t know what’s goin’ on?” Faith asked the redhead.

“I don’t know but it may have to do with the vampires,” Willow replied.

“Fuck. Not another apocalyps,” Faith said.

“Let’s NOT get ahead of us, guys. But if something does come, then we’ll fight it,” Dawn said, trying to calm them both down.

“You’re not fightin’ shit. If somethin’ comes you’re gettin’ the hell outta here,” Faith said and looked at Dawn seriously.

“We’re not talking about this again, but I’m not leaving,” Dawn contradicted her girlfriend.

“You are. Both you and Tara are getting outta here. And that’s it. We’re not talking about this anymore,” Willow interrupted her.

“Agree with Red.”

Dawn frowned and crossed her arms across her chest. Willow’s phone ran and Willow grabbed it again.

“Xander, Anya and Giles are coming. Let’s not get ahead though, let’s not worry.”

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

Xander and Giles entered a big wooden chest with weapons and deposited it in one corner or the living room. Then Xander joined his wife on the other loveseat and Giles sat on the other end of the couch while Willow told them about Angel and Cordy coming.

“Hey, Red. Mind if I make myself a sandwich? I’m getting hungry,” Faith said and stood up.

“Feel like home, Faith,” Willow said.

Faith went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She grabbed the ham, ketchup and mayo. Then she grabbed some bread and started preparing a sandwich.

A few seconds later, Dawn entered the kitchen.

“What happened?” The brunette asked.

“What you mean?” Faith asked as she sat on the stool and began eating her sandwich.

“Since Xander and Giles got here you’ve been acting like you’re not my girlfriend. You’re sitting right next to me but you’re away from me. Are you so afraid of them?” Dawn sounded slightly pissed and Faith frowned.

The Slayer sighed.

“I don’t fuckin’ care what they may think of me. But I do care about what they think of you. I don’t want them to give ya shit just ‘cause you’re with me,” Faith said.

“Well, I don’t care what they think of us, Faith,” Dawn said as she walked around the counter and sat on the stool next to Faith’s.

The former Key placed her hand on her girlfriend’s thigh.

“I really appreciate the fact that you care about what they think of me. But it’s okay. Faith, they don’t have any right to say anything about us. And even if they do say something, I don’t care. I want to be with you, and I don’t want you…to hold back. If you’re going to be my girlfriend, then don’t hold back. Be my girlfriend…anywhere, anytime,” Dawn said seriously.

Faith finished her sandwich and stood up. The Slayer put everything back in the fridge and turned to face her girlfriend. Faith walked closer, cupped her girlfriend’s face and pressed their lips together softly. Dawn instantly answered the kiss and brought up her hands, caressing Faith’s arms on her way up to the Slayer’s neck. She loved massaging Faith’s neck and shoulders and of course Faith didn’t complain.

They pulled apart for a second to breathe and Dawn pulled her back into another kiss. Dawn smiled into the kiss when she tasted the mayo and ketchup in her girlfriend’s mouth but she could definitely identify that special taste that was Faith and purely her…

Faith walked ever closer so she was standing between Dawn’s legs as they kept kissing. She loved kissing Dawn. The brunette was an amazing kisser but it wasn’t just that. Every time they kissed she could feel her body humming with excitement, her stomach jumping up and down, the volcano with her awakening… If that was love, then it wasn’t so bad…

“Anywhere, anytime,” Faith agreed and rested her forehead against Dawn’s.

Faith bit her lower lip and leaned in to kiss Dawn’s lips again…

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

“Willow?”

Willow stood up from the couch and walked towards Tara.

“Baby, you’re awake. Good, we were thinking about ordering food,” Willow said and hugged her girlfriend softly.

Tara was still a bit groggy from her nap so she followed Willow into the living room.

“We?” They entered the living room and Tara saw the others. “Oh, hey guys.”

Giles instantly stood up from his place on the couch and brought a chair from the dining room.

“Thanks, Giles. How are you, guys?” Tara sat down on the couch and instantly leaned in against Willow. The blonde had the urge to be held and to cuddle Willow, it was stronger than ever. She didn’t ever hear what Anya was saying about the latest sales of the Magic box. “Will…”

Tara didn’t need to say anything else. Willow sat on her side and wrapped her arms around Tara and placed her hands on her lover’s belly, instantly started a circular motion with her thumbs over the fabric of Tara’s t-shirt. Tara nestled herself in her lover’s embrace and rested her head against Willow’s shoulder.

“So, how are your babies, guys?” Xander asked.

“I was actually waiting for you, baby, to tell them,” Willow said looking at Tara.

Tara smiled.

“That is a great idea, Will,” Tara responded.

“We found out the sex of the babies,” Willow said and looked at her friends. “We’re having a boy and a girl.”

“Wow, Will, that’s awesome,” Xander said.

“Indeed it is a marvelous news, girls. Congratulations,” Giles said.

“Will, tell him,” Tara said and Willow nodded.

“Well, we were hoping that you’d want to be our son’s Godfather. He will need an older brother to be his role model, after all,” Willow said.

Xander’s jaw hit the floor.

“You’re telling me? Me? Seriously?”

Willow laughed.

“Of course we’re telling you, silly. You’ve been like a brother to us for years,” Willow said.

Xander stood up, walked to the couch and gave them both a warm hug.

“I’m honored, guys. Thank you. Thank you.” Xander placed a short kiss on each of their foreheads and sat back on the loveseat. “You will, your baby boy will be building things with the uncle Xander in no time.”

“You could teach him how to swim. Willow said you’re a good swimmer,” Tara added with a smile.

“Remember, Xand, when we were in high school? You joined the swimming team?” Willow started giggling. “Buffy and Cordy’s faces were priceless!”

Xander laughed.

“You’re terrible, Will. Be right back, the Xand-man is going to get another beer,” Xander said before leaving the room.

Tara smiled because Willow’s hands were tracing circles on her belly and it felt so good…the twins were always more calm when Willow was talking to them or caressing the belly.

“What the hell!”

Willow’s eyes widened and looked at Tara.

“Faith and Dawn were in the kitchen,” Willow said.

“I knew it! I knew they were having sex!” Anya said triumphantly.

“Good Lord… Willow, please-”

“They’re girlfriends,” Tara cut him off.

Giles’s jaw hit the floor.

They could hear a loud thud and it was followed by Dawn’s hysterical voice.

“Xander, back OFF!”

“Shit!”

Tara moved instantly and she and Willow almost ran to the kitchen. Xander had shoved Faith against the wall. Dawn was grabbing him from behind to stop him from moving.

“Xander, calm down,” Willow said as soon as she entered the kitchen.

“Faith, Dawn, go to the living room,” Tara said.

“Tara-”

“To the living room,” Tara cut Dawn off.

Dawn grabbed Faith’s hand and dragged her out of the room.

Faith and Dawn entered the living room, still holding hands. Faith sat down on the loveseat and Dawn started pacing around the living room, her arms crossed across her chest.

“D, please, sit down,” Faith said.

“He doesn’t have the right!” Dawn snapped. “He had no right to shove you against the wall!”

“D, I’m a Slayer, I barely felt it. It’s okay,” Faith said, trying to calm her down.

“No, it’s not!” Dawn stopped and looked at her girlfriend. Then she looked at Giles and Anya, who were watching her. “What? You have anything to say?” Dawn snapped at them.

“Wish you happy orgasms together,” Anya said with a smile.

“Um…thanks, Anya…I guess,” Dawn said and frowned at Faith when the Slayer pretended to cough to hide her laughter at the ex-demon comment.

“I must say that I’m surprised,” Giles said.

“Giles.”

“Please, Dawn, allow me to continue. You are an adult now and you are correct, none of us have any right to tell you who to date or not. I accepted and supported Willow and Tara’s relationship so it would be quite hypocrite of me not to support yours,” Giles said. Although he wasn’t sure them having a relationship was the best idea…he admitted that Dawn wasn’t a little girl anymore and that Faith had proven to be trust worthy...

“Thank you, Giles,” Dawn said.

“Yeah, thank you, Giles, for real,” Faith added.

Back in the kitchen, Willow and Tara were looking at each other.

“Go, I’ll take care of it,” Willow said.

Tara nodded and left the room, leaving Willow and Xander alone.

“Xander, please…”

“You knew!” Xander pointed at her with an accusing finger. “You knew and you didn’t do anything! You let her! You let her touch her!”

“Xander, what did you expect me to do? Neither you nor I have the right to tell Dawn not to date Faith. She can date whoever she wants. And I know you don’t like Faith but honestly? I think they make a great couple!” Willow defended them.

“We swore to protect Dawn and now you let her date Faith? Are you insane?”

“Dawn is an adult!” Willow snapped. “Goddess, Xander! She’s an adult now, let her be! Faith is a good person and she really cares about Dawn, that’s all I need to know!”

“But-”

“No buts!” Willow cut him off. “Alexander Lavelle Harris! You listen to me! Dawn can date anybody she wants. Faith is a good person. I can see she cares about Dawn, and I trust her when she says that she won’t hurt her. If you take just…five minutes to look at them…you’d see it.” Willow lowered her voice as Xander started pacing around the kitchen. “You’d see that Dawn is happier when she’s with Faith. You’d see that Faith is caring and tender with Dawn. Xander…you supported my relationship with Tara… Give them a chance. We promised Buffy to be Dawn’s family, remember? Family supports each other, Xander…”

“Dawn is really happy with Faith?” Xander asked after a few minutes of silence.

“Ask her…but yes, she is,” Willow replied.

“You trust Faith won’t hurt her?”

“I can’t guaranty they won’t hurt each other…But I do trust Faith when she says that she won’t hurt Dawn on purpose. I do,” Willow said and said a silent prayer hoping not being wrong.

“I-”

Xander was cut off by the doorbell.

“The guys are here. We’ll talk some more later, okay?” Willow said.

“Okay…” Willow walked towards the kitchen door. “Thanks, Willster…for…not letting me behave like an asshole more than I already did.”

Willow turned around and gave him a small smile.

“You’re my best friend, Xand-man,” was all Willow said before leaving the room.

[LonelyTara]

Another delightful chapter. I love how happy Willow is making Tara with her attentiveness. It's wonderful to see Willow is such a devoted Mommy already. I'm tense to know what news Cordy and Angel will have. And I don't want to see the fight that will happen if Willow tries to get Tara to leave Sunnydale without her. Yikes.

Yes, and what jogged Willow's memory to ask Angel and Cordy about it in the first place? And why did it take her a month to think of it?
