10 - The comeback



At last Willow's five year contract with MGM was over in 1968 and she was free to move onto new challenges. Both Willow knew it was time to start singing and touring again.



Willow: What if I cant do this anymore

Tara: Do what?

Willow: Go on stage and knock them off their feet?

Tara: Willow, you are still the queen of rock and roll. I believe you can do anything you want

Willow: Even the Colonel told me my career needed a shot in the arm

Tara: He might be a bastard but he is right.



A few weeks later NBC made Willow an offer to do her own televison show. The idea was very tempting and the money was right. Willow wanted to meet the director before she signed anything. She wanted someone she could talk to and understand.



Willow: Come with me Tara

Tara: I will be right at your side

Willow: I cant do this alone. I am too worried about it

Tara: Dont be worried, it's gonna be great fun



When Willow had met Steve, she was shocked to find out he was in his early 20's. He was a huge fan of her and had every recorded. They hit if off and become good friends. A few weeks before the show, Willow came down into the living room at Glacelands dressed up in tight black leather suit. Tara couldnt believe her eyes



Willow: I really do look silly

Tara: You look really sexy

Willow: Sexy?

Tara: Oh yeah. You look very eatable in my book



Willow giggled when Tara walked over, pulled Willow into a hug and gave her a hot, deep passionate kiss. It took Willow's breath away.



Willow: mmmmm cool

Tara: Do we have to leave for LA yet?

Willow: Nope. We have 3 hours before we leave

Tara: Good, come to bed with me.....and leave the suit on

Willow: Oooooooh you're kinky



Three hours later, Willow and Tara walked out of Glacelands smiling like mad. On the plane Willow showed Dawnie how she could make a teddy dance. The 4 month old girl smiled and giggled. Willow 's heart melted when Dawn's grin was Tara's half grin. They arrived in LA and Willow took her family to the television centre. Backstage, Willow came alive with her musicians. She felt alive with music like she did in the 50's. But a few minutes before the taping, she pulled Tara aside



Willow: I cant do this

Tara: Sweetie, I will be watching you

Willow: I cant do this. Dont let me do this

Tara: Listen to me, everything will be fine. I will be there for you

Willow: Dont leave till I go off stage?

Tara: I'll never leave



Willow gave her a wife a kiss before Tara walked to take her seat. Willow then just took a deep breath and wondered if she was doing the right thing. If this got messed up, everything was over for good. But she knew that Tara and Dawn would never leave her. Then with a deep breath, Willow walked into the bright spotlight and into the cheering of the crowd.



While on stage, Willow was joined by Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, Buffy on bass and Xander on guitar and vocals. Off stage, Faith played percussion and Tara did hand claps and cheered at her wife. It felt great for Willow to have everyone near her and it felt like home. When the show was over, Willow left and headed home. They staye up all night, singing, drinking and having a laugh. Willow then pulled Tara into their bedroom.



Tara: You were wonderful tonight, baby

Willow: Really?

Tara: Yeah. You made me feel funny

Willow: Funny?



Tara pulled her wife close and said something into Willow's ear. Willow's eye's went wide open at Tara's words.



Willow: So you mmmmm came?

Tara: It's that black leather.....sooooooooo sexy. And that voice! I always knew you had a great mouth

Willow: Down girl!



Tara then pulled Willow onto the bed. Willow undressed her wife but Tara stopped Willow from undressing. She really liked the feel of the leather against her body



Tara: Just leave them on

Willow: It's too hot for me

Tara: Please leave them on for me



How could Willow say no?? Well she didnt and the two woman made love all night. A few months passed before the tv spiecal was aired. It was christmas time and everyone came around to watch it. Everyone watched nervously waiting to see what happens. Willow, sat holding Tara's hand, was quiet and tense through the whole thing. Then at the end, there came a shock for everyone. On the screen we saw:



Alexander Harris - Guitar and vocals

Elizabeth Anne Summers - Bass guitar

Faith Spencer - Percussion

Tara Rosenberg - hand claps



Tara and the gang looked at Willow. She was trying not to laugh or smile. She had that planned all along. They were over the moon



Xander: Oh I was on tv!

Buffy: They used my real name?? Why not just Buffy?

Faith: I'm famous!

Tara: Sweetie, all I did was clap my hands. Thats nothing great

Willow: You all made my night great. I just wanted to put your names up



Once the show was over, the phone began to ring non stop. Willow knew she was still the Queen of rock ' n ' roll. That she still had it and never lost it. Willow hoped this would lead to more great things



Willow: Was I really that good?

Tara: Honey, you were amazing! I was there and I loved it

Willow: So shall I record more songs??

Tara: It's what you do, sweetie. I hope you start to record new songs

Willow: I couldnt have done that without you and Dawnie



So then Willow began to record new songs for the first time in 14 years. She recorded ' In The Getto ', Kentucky Rain ' and Suspicious Minds '. She always took Tara and Dawnie with her. She wanted them to see her record and hear her new songs. Tara really loved ' Suspicious Minds ' and knew that would be a new number one. Then within a few weeks, The Colonel had completed a deal with The Las Vegas Internation Hotel. They wanted Willow to headline for a month, at the price of half a million dollars.



Willow: Las Vegas wants me?

Tara: Look's that way, how do you feel?

Willow: Scared, worried, freaked out. Last time I played there, I was crap!

Tara: That was then and this is now

Willow: Shall I go for it??

Tara: Whatever you do, I shall be there for you



They had to move into a Vegas hotel. Tara and Dawn settled into their new home but everyone didnt like Vegas. Willow met her new band and even asked Xander to play guitar with her. She wanted him in her band, Xander took the job with pride. He knew Willow needed him to make her feel safe and happy on stage. Tara and Dawn spent everyday with Willow, off and on stage. Unlike the tv show, Willow hid her feelings. Tara could tell Willow was scared coz she would tap her foot loudly when they were together. Willow's temper would come back and go off at any time. Tara knew that the only thing that calmed Willow down was Dawn. One night, Willow was playing with Dawnie.



Willow: I cant believe she is 1 soon

Tara: Yeah the time has gone fast

Willow: Shall we have a small birthday party?

Tara: Yeah. Only us, family and friends. That would be the best

Willow: Yeah I know. So princess how's gonna be one soon??



Dawn gave her mama a smile, Tara's sexy half grin. The next night, Willow was about to go on stage. Her nerves were playing up. She couldnt stop pacing the floor. All she wanted was for this to be over. Willow got Tara and Dawnie a chair up front, she wanted her wife and daugther to see her live on stage. But now Willow couldnt move....she needed Tara



Willow: Daddy, get me Tara!

Ira: Just calm down Willow. It's fine

Willow: I need Tara NOW!



With that, Ira ran to Tara's table. She pasted Dawn over to Faith and Buffy and walked off to be with Willow. She found her in a bad state. Tara ran over and pulled her wife into a warm hug



Willow: I cant do it, Tara

Tara: Now come on baby. I know your scared

Willow: I dont wanna mess all this up

Tara: Mess it up?? Willow you could never do that

Willow: Dont leave me



Willow broke down into her wife's arms. Tara rocked her and kissed her forehead



Tara: Me and Dawn are gonna be watching. We both love you and we know you can do this.

Willow: Dawnie. My little girl. I love her so much. God, Tara I cant do this

Tara: Yes you can



From the side, Ira calls out



Ira: It's time baby girl



Willow and Tara pulled away from other other. Willow stopped crying and rubbed her eyes. Her mind told her to grow up and get ready.



Willow: It's time I got on stage

Tara ( smiling ): Yeah and I will be there, watching and cheering

Willow: Give a kiss to Dawnie from her mama

Tara: I will and good luck



Tara watched her wife walk off. She ran back to her seat, took Dawnie into her arms and waiting for Willow to come on stage. When she did, the whole place went crazy. Women screamed, man yelled and little kid's jumped up and down. Willow held them in the plam of her hand from start to end. For Tara, this was her first Willow concert. She couldnt believe how wonderful Willow looked and sounded. The power of her wife took Tara's breath away and before she knew it, she was crying.



Once the show was over, Willow ran off stage and into Tara's arms. The ' Memphis Mafia ' all ran over, hugged their boss and told her how wonderful she was. That night no one went to bed. They waited up for the newspaper's to arrive. Faith bought every one she could get and gave them to Willow. She read every review and most said this ' Willow was great ' and She never looked or sounded better '. Willow shared all the credit with everyone in her life.



Willow: Well we did it. It's gonna be a hard, long month, but it's gonna be worth it if we get the reception we did last night. I know I have been a right pain in the ass, but it was well worth it

Tara: You being a pain?? Never Willow

Faith: So I think the Queen is back for good

Willow: I never went away!



Three days later it was Dawn's first birthday. Willow wanted Dawn to have a party at Glacelands but that wasnt gonna happen. So they bought a ton of gifts and got her a sweet little cake reading ' Happy 1st birthday...Dawnie '. Their whole friends and family were there for this great moment. Willow bought the birthday girl in and everyone went ' awwwwwwww '. Dawnie was wearing a cute little pink dress.



Willow: Here is the birthday girl!



Dawn was given so many different gifts. But Anya got her a teddy which sung ' Teddy Bear ' thinking it was cute. Willow couldnt help but laugh at her gift



Willow: That is classic! I wish I had had

Anya: Oh, I could buy you one! They were very cheap

Willow: Anya, I was joking. I am gald Dawnie likes it away

Anya: She likes to shake to it, look at her



Dawnie was sitting on Tara's lap, moving with the music. Willow watched her daughter and let out a laugh. She has some movement in her, just like Willow. Then Ira bought in her cake. Willow stood up, joined by Tara and their daugther



Willow: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you Dawnie. Happy birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!



Everyone clapped and cheered. Dawnie was now a year old and was becoming more and more loved. Willow and Tara gave her whatever she needed. There was nothing Willow wouldnt give her daugther, for love or money. Willow knew Dawn wouldnt have a normal life but if Willow gave it up then maybe Dawn would be fine. But for now, Willow was there to make her wife and daugther 100% happy.

11 - Houston Astrodome and President Nixon



After an extra few month's added on, Willow finally left Vegas. She arrived home longing to see Tara and Dawnie. They couldnt stay for the extra months, due to Dawn missing Glaceland's and Tara helping her mother buy a new house. A few weeks, Willow was called by the Colonel who told her he had planned six gig's at the Huston Astrodome. Willow would make a million dollars for the three nights. But Willow didnt wanna go



Willow: I just came home from Vegas! I need some rest

Tara: Sweetie, it's your job

Willow: I hate it! I just wanna be with you and Dawnie

Tara: Me and Dawnie will come with you

Willow: Really??

Tara: Yeah. It's only for three nights

Willow: What would I do without you?

Tara: Mmmmmm nothing



So a few weeks later, everyone flew out to Texas. They were driven to the Astrodome and Tara was scared to death. The place was huge! It was a like a football pitch, Willow was more freaked out. She grabbed Tara's hand and shook her head



Willow: Holy crap! They think I'm gonna sell this place out??



But within a day all the ticket's were sold out. Willow broke their box office takings and she was a hit. The concert's were a smash. On the second night, Tara took her eyes off Dawn and the little girl, walked on unsteady feet, climbed onto the stage. Willow didnt notice her daugther at first, till Dawn grabbed her leg. Willow looked down, smiled at her and picked her daughter up and kissed her.



Willow: Everyone, this is Dawn. Say hello to everyone



Dawn who was nearly two, giggled and look the mic off her mother



Dawn: Boo!

Willow: Close enough sweetie



Willow placed her daugther on the stage and began to sing ' Hound Dog '. Off stage, Tara watched and laughed as Dawn shook along with her mother. The fans went wild and clapped along. Faith and Buffy were by now taping the whole thing. Tara was too busy laughing and crying at the same time. Then she turned to Buffy



Tara: Like daughter like mother



Soon the gig was over and they rushed into the limo. Willow placed Dawn on her lap and looked over at Tara



Willow: I think I got upstaged!

Tara: Did you see her shake?? My god it was great

Willow: I think we have a mini me

Tara: Awwwwww baby, there is only one Willow



Dawn was now fast alseep on her mother's lap. Tara guessed being on stage was too much her their princess. The next night bought a shock for Tara and Anya. Half way throught the gig, Buffy and Faith left to get some drinks. All night the girls have been acting funny, giving each other looks. So Tara left them to do, and walked up to get a kiss of her wife. She stood there for ages, waiting and waiting. It seemed Willow wanted her to wait in line. Tara could hear some girls saying ' she is topless'. Her dress showed off her back.....it made her look topless! After a even longer time, Tara begged



Tara: Kiss me! Kiss me so I can sit down!



Willow grinned, give a wink and then give her a hot kiss. Then slowly lifted Tara onto the stage



Willow: Everyone this is my wonderful wife, Tara. Say hello to everyone baby

Tara: Good evening



Then Tara slowly climbed off the stage and headed back to Anya. Still no sign of Buffy or Faith, the two friends go to look for them. They walked backstage and headed down to Willow's dressing room. A few steps closer and they heared moaning and a table banging. Anya and Tara slowly pushed open the door and saw Buffy on her back with Faith on top of her. They were making love like mad. Anya yelled out and Faith looked up, grinned and carried on making love to Buffy. Tara took Anya's hand and pulled them out of the room.



Anya: My god! First you and Willow, now them!

Tara: Hey! Dont tell Willow, ok?? I wanna tell her

Anya: Oh dont worry. But I can tell Xander right??

Tara: Then he will tell Will......please dont tell anyone

Anya: Fine I wont....but does Willow sweat like that??



Right after the gig, everyone flew home to Glacelands. Tara couldnt wait to tell her wife what she saw. So once they were alone and in bed, Tara couldnt stop herself



Tara: I need to tell you something

Willow: Are you ok?? Is Dawn sick??

Tara: We are both fine. It's about Buffy and Faith

Willow: Buffy and Faith?

Tara: I caught them today

Willow: Caught them?? What do you mean??

Tara: Half naked and doing it on your dressing room table



Willow give a small grin and began to play a little



Willow: Doing what??

Tara: You know Willow! Do you need a picture!

Willow: So did they see you?

Tara: Faith did. She didnt care coz she just carried on.

Willow: Tell me what they were doing

Tara: Faith was on top of Buffy, they were kissing and Faith had her hand between Buffy's legs. They were both so sweaty, so I just pulled Anya out from the room



Willow was now laughing like mad. Tara saw tears running down her face



Willow: Good for them

Tara: Willow!

Willow: Maybe we should get down and dirty

Tara: Later but your not shocked?

Willow: They like each other, which is always a good thing

Tara: Yeah your right

Willow: But I will tease them tomorrow at breakfast



True to her word, the next morning Willow couldnt wait to have her fun



Willow: So did you and Buffy have fun at the gig?

Faith: Yeah, Red, you rocked

Wilow: No I mean in my dressing room? On a table?



Both Buffy and Faith looked at Tara. The look on her face was classic



Faith: Look me and Buffy fancy each other

Buffy: We both wanted it to happen

Willow: If you wanted to have sex, you could have used a bed

Faith: Dont act all sweet, we've caught you and Tara on a table

Willow: But we are married, it's different

Buffy: Still its the same thing

Willow: Look if you guys are happy, then so am I



The morning went fast but in the afternoon, Tara could hear Willow and her father fighting about The Colonel



Willow: Fuck him! Daddy, call and tell him we are over! Tear the fucking contracts up and I'll pay him what I owe him!

Ira: Are you sure??

Willow: Yeah I am! I dont wanna leave my family anymore! I am fucking sick of him!



With that Willow stormed out of the house and never came home that night. Infact she never came home for a few nights. Everyone was mystifed. She never traveled alone, she didnt carry any money and she didnt even know her own phone number. Tara was worried something would happen to her wife. Then one day, Tara was playing with Dawn when she heared a news reporter saying:



Willow Rosenberg meets President Nixon at The White House



Tara couldnt believe it! She almost dropped Dawn, who was snugging in her arms at the time. When Dawn saw the picture of her mother, she ran to the screen and kissed it. The story is that Willow wanted to get a Federal Nercotics badge. That means she and her friends could carry guns. Then Tara saw Xander and Buffy, who joined her after finding out where she was.



Tara: Ira! Ira! Come here quicky!



Ira came running in with Faith and Spike. Tara was sitting with her mouth open



Tara: Willow is at the White House!

Ira: Oh god!



Everyone just sat around watching this. Then a few hours later, Willow, Xander and Buffy arrived home. Tara ran into her wife's arms before she got throught the front door. They started to kiss softly before Willow pulled away



Willow: Look at my bagde! Aint it cool?

Tara: Honey, I have been so worried about you

Willow: I am sooooooo sorry I just left like that

Tara: It's fine but dont do that ever again!

Willow: I wont sweetie

Tara: Good coz I would have to spank you!



The next day, Willow bought gun for everyone. They always carried their guns around when on tour. Tara knew guns were bad but Willow liked them, so Tara didnt say a word. Whatever made Willow happy made Tara happy.



Two years had passed and now it was time for Dawnie's 5th birthday. The day was gonna be marked by a family photo shoot. But on the day, Dawn was acting up.



Tara: Come on sweetie

Dawn: No!

Tara: Now dont take that tone with me

Dawn: I want mama!

Tara: She is busy getting dressed herself



Tara then took Dawn by the hand and lead her over to the sofa. But Dawn began to drag her feet to make it worse for her mother. Slowly Tara started to lose her temper, she stopped walking and looked down at Dawn



Tara: Stop it! If you dont behave, you cant have your party!



Dawn stopped acting up and began to walk. Then Willow came out, Dawn ran over and jumped into her arms. Willow smiled and give her a kiss



Willow: Hey baby girl. You and your mama look so beautiful today

Dawn: Can I sit on your lap, please mama?

Willow: That would be lovely but you must let mommy hold you too

Dawn: I will but you hold me first



The shoot went passed without any tears. Then later at night, Dawn sat between her mother's and squezzed her spinach through her hands and smeared it all over her face. Tara shook her head while Willow started to laugh



Willow: You are a little hellraiser



Then later the night, Tara went up to check if Dawn was asleep. When she arrived at her daughter's door, she could hear ' Hound Dog ' being played. She slowly opened the bedroom door and saw Dawn shaking and singing with the song. Tara couldnt help but smile at her daughter. Dawn saw her mother and stopped



Dawn: What do you think??

Tara: Your just like your mama

Dawn: I wanna rock for her

Tara: It's late and time for bed baby girl

Dawn: Please? Just one song?

Tara: Alright, come on lets go



Tara took her daughter's hand and walked downstairs. Willow was watching the football with her gang. Dawn ran over, jumped onto the table and looked at Willow



Dawn: Watch me mama

Willow: Sure sweetie....show me



Dawn started to sing ' Hound Dog ' note perfect. She shook her hips with style and acted like her mother does on stage. Willow sat there, smiling and clapping along. Everyone esle was shocked that Dawn would do this, she is very shy most of the time. Then she finished and Willow jumped up yelling and clapping. She picked up her daughter and give her a kiss



Willow: Didnt I say Dawn was a rocker?

Tara: Yep you sure did

Dawn: I am just like my mama



The next day, Faith needed to talk to Willow. She had something she needed to tell her real bad. So she walked into their bedroom and sat down.



Faith: I really need to talk to you

Tara: Are you ok??

Willow: Is it over with Buffy?

Faith: It's about Dawnie

Willow: My little rocker, whats wrong?

Faith: She said something to me

Tara: What did she say?

Faith: A few days ago she wouldnt go to school. I had to pick her out of bed and make her get dressed. But then she said to me ' I'm gonna tell mama and you're gonna get the sack!'

Tara: She said that??

Faith: Yeah she did and I hope I did the right thing by telling you

Willow: I know Dawnie can be a handful

Tara: I'll go and talk to her



Being a weekend, Dawn was at home in her room. Tara knew that Dawn has seen Willow say that to her friends. If something didnt go her way, she would tell them they would be sacked. Tara didnt want Dawn to say such things. Tara walked into Dawn's room and sat down next to her



Tara: Faith just told me and your mama what you said

Dawn: I'm sorry

Tara: I know you have seen your mama say stuff like that, but it wont work for you. It's abusive and nasty. You cant go around threatening them, do you understand?

Dawn: Yes mommy I do. I didnt mean to upset aunty Faith

Tara: I know but you cant say that anymore



Tara kissed and hugged her daughter. Dawn watched her mother go and looked out of her window, seeing Buffy and Faith she smiled. She picked up her water gun and headed outside to say hello. Back inside Willow and Tara's bedroom, Tara sat next to her wife and give her a small kiss



Willow: Did you talk to Dawnie?

Tara: Yes I did and I think she wont do that anymore

Willow: Thats a good thing then

Tara: So you have to stop saying it, incase she hears you again

Willow: Yes dear



From outside we hear Faith yelling



Faith: Dawnie....thats cold water!



Back in the bedroom, Willow starts to laugh and looks at Tara. She is trying so hard not laugh with her wife. Dawn was a good kid but she couldnt help herself at times.



Willow: She is so like me, its scary

Tara: I know! Thank god I can handle you both



The next few weeks were heaven. Willow, Tara and Dawnie spent everyday just playing, talking and being together. Then one day, around mid afternoon Willow ran outside to the pool. Tara could tell she was over exicted about something. In the pool, Dawn, Buffy and Faith was having races to see who was the fastest. Willow ran over to Tara and picked her up and give her a huge hug



Tara: Whatever your taking, I'll have some

Willow: I'm gonna be live around the world on tv! Honey, everyone, we are off to Hawaii!

[Tempest Duer]

Aw, Dawn is such a hellraiser. She's gonna make life tough for our heroes...



They gonna get rid of the Colenel? Please make it work out! Don't stay totally true to Elvis' life!

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[bluewillowwitch]

Tempest Duer: Dawn is gonna stay that way! She knows how to wrap her mama around her little finger. The is gone for now....just wait till Willow fakes her death! Any guess how does she does that??



BlueWillowWitch: Dawn is a cute kid. I have read alot about Lisa telling people what to do - or they lose their jobs! Even like the story, Lisa sung for her father and friends one day....so I had to add that in.



Anyway there is another 3 parts. I am working on the new one right now. Then after that, the last two are about Willow getting bored about her music life, then planning her fake death and living happy ever after with Tara and Dawn. So I hope to have the next part soon.....ooooooh and in this part Willow turns 40!

12 - Aloha from Hawaii



Hawaii is a beautiful place. Willow, Tara, Dawn and their friends moved into a beach house before the concert took place. Willow knew the gig was gonna be a world wide live tv show, shown in 40 countries. Willow was looking forward to being back on tv show all her fans around the world, that she is still the Queen. Tara and Dawn really enjoyed Hawaii. They loved the sunshine and the blue clear water. It was pure heaven and they enjoyed building sand castle's on their beach. A few days before the concert, Willow took her family into the arena and onto the stage.



Dawn: Mama, where are we gonna sit?

Willow: At the front row, right there

Dawn: So close! Can I come on stage?

Willow: Not this time. You just have to watch mama

Tara: The count down is on



The night came and Willow took the stage. Like always, Xander was on stage and the concert was wonderful. For 2 hours, Willow sung all her hits, talked and joked with her fans. Down at the front, Tara and Dawn watched and clapped along with the fans. But when Willow sang ' Ameican Trliogy ' Tara could see tears running down her face. She was worried Willow was losing her love for music or even life. So once the gig was over, Willow and the gang stayed up all night. No one was ready to get some sleep. Around 8am, Tara was woken by Willow



Willow: Good morning baby

Tara: Hey, sweetie

Willow: Did you miss me last night?

Tara: Yeah but your back now, so wanna sunggle?



Willow smiles and sunggles deeper into Tara's arms.



Tara: I saw you crying on stage last night

Willow: That song just makes me cry

Tara: I know you find it hard, being on stage

Willow: It's not that baby. Soon I am gonna be 40 years old!

Tara: Ahhhh I love older women

Willow: Good, coz your married to one

Tara: Let's go back to Alabama...just be alone

Willow: Sure. Let's get Dawnie and go



So the family left the night. Willow didnt want the ' Memphis Mafia ' to go with them. They just played, talked and had fun. Willow loved being with her family, she hated leaving them. Then after a few weeks, Tara had a call off her mother. She had some sad news



Andrea: Tara, I have to tell you something

Tara: Is everything ok mama?

Andrea: Tara, sweetie, it's your father. He was killed in a car crash last night



Willow who was carrying Dawnie on her back, saw Tara start to cry. She walked over, pulled her wife into a hug and took the phone off her



Willow: Andrea, it's Willow. What's wrong?

Andrea: Donald was killed in a car crash last night

Willow: Oh no. Hang on



Tara was still crying and holding onto Willow. Willow started to rock her slowly while rubbing her back.



Willow: What can I do?

Andrea: I need Tara here with me, please Willow

Willow: Let me sort everything. I will call you back



Willow put the phone down and slowly took Tara over to the sofa. They looked at each other and Willow rubbed the tears off Tara's face



Willow: Let's go to your mother's side

Tara: I need to go alone

Willow: That's not a good idea. I know what it's like to lose a parent

Tara: Willow, I love you, but let me do this alone

Willow: If your sure??

Tara: I am really sure. I need to go alone. I want Dawn to stay with you

Willow: Yeah, I'll take her home



Within a few hours, Willow and Dawn were back home. Tara flew out to be with her mother even though Willow thought it wasnt a good idea. Tara was gonna spend a few weeks with her mother, so it meant Willow would be sulky without her. Then one night, Tara called home to check her two girls.



Tara: Hey sweetie, is everything ok?

Willow: I am sooooo missing you! Are you ok?

Tara: I am copin with everything. I am missing you too. I hope Dawnie is in bed?

Willow: Yeah, she's taken care of. She's in bed, fast asleep



But that was a little white lie. Willow was wrapped around her daughter's little finger. Dawn knew what worked so that Willow couldnt say no



Tara: I am coming home tomorrow, I cant wait to see you

Willow: I cant wait! You have no idea how much I missed you

Tara: I cant wait to kiss you and get you in bed

Willow: Ooooooooh vixen



Then from behind Willow, Faith yelled out



Faith: Dawnie! Stop hitting me with that pillow!



Suddly Willow knew she was gonna get told off



Tara: I thought she was in bed?

Willow: That's a different Dawn

Tara: Don't lie to me

Willow: I let her stay up, no big deal baby



Tara had always told Willow to stop Dawn from getting her own way. Willow couldnt help but handing everything to Dawn on the proverbial silver platter. Tara was the tough one on Dawnie, which made Tara seem like the bad girl.



Tara: She need's to go to sleep, Willow. It's for her own good. She has to go to school tomorrow

Willow: To hell with school

Tara: You are gonna get such a spanking when I get home

Willow: With the whip?

Tara: You know I will, sweetie

Willow: I cant wait now

Tara: Get Dawnie on the phone, I wanna say goodnite



Willow turned around and couldnt help but laugh. Dawn was now hitting Faith with 2 pillows. The poor girl couldnt fight back. Dawn saw her mother looking, stopped and give her a huge, innocent smile.



Willow: Come and stay goodnight to your mommy

Dawn: Hello mommy, are you ok?

Tara: I am doing fine

Dawn: Is grand mommy still upset??

Tara: She is feeling a little better, so I am coming home tomorrow

Dawn: I cant wait coz I've missed you

Tara: I have missed you too. Anyway you better go to sleep

Dawn: I am going now, good night mommy

Tara: Goodnight sweetie



Dawn give the phone to Willow, before she kissed her mama goodnight. Once Dawn was gone, Willow started talking



Willow: So I better let you get an early night

Tara: Willow, I love you so much

Willow: I love you too, baby girl

Tara: So you better get to sleep too

Willow: Oh, once you get home I have something to show you

Tara: I cant wait. Goodnite baby

Willow: I love you



Once Willow put the phone down, she smiled and went off to count the hours. Then around breakfast time, Tara arrived home and Willow couldnt wait to show her what she talked about. So Willow took Tara's hand, they walked up to the roof and Willow pushed Tara on the egde, pointing out to the road



Willow What do you see?

Tara: Cars and fans everywhere

Willow: Haha, higher.....



Tara looked higher and then her eyes saw it. There was a new road sign and it read:



Willow Rosenberg Boulevard



Tara smiled and turned to Willow. Willow was like a little kid, all giggly and happy



Willow: They named it after me!

Tara: That is sooooo cool! I love it

Willow: I thought it would make you smile

Tara: I wanna go to bed, wanna come with me?

Willow: How can I say no??



A few months later, Willow and Tara are asked to a award show. Only Ira knew why Willow was asked to go along, he knew it would make her smile. Around 9pm, Willow was named one of One of the Ten Outstanding Young Women of the Nation by the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce (The Jaycees). Willow had an idea of what was going on, she is nervous about her acceptance speech. She is touched, excited and deeply proud



Willow: When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.



Willow walked back to her chair, Tara flew her arm's around her wife and gave a huge kiss. Tara was so happy for Willow. This was a huge deal for Willow and her life.



Tara: Willow, for a woman who grew up poor, and, in your early career knew the sting of ridicule from the Establishment, who, through the years has known criticism of your work, this is one of your proudest moments. I could never be more prouder then I am tonight, baby

Willow: I couldnt have done with without you, baby girl. I love you so much



For the next 2 years, Willow travel's all over the US. She never saw much of Tara or Dawn due to the concerts. She needed to go home. Then on Jan 7, 1975 Willow flew home because she was about to turn 40. She called off a few weeks off work so she could be alone with Tara and Dawn. When she arrived home, Tara and Dawn were there to greet her



Willow: Look my two fave girls!

Dawn: Mama! Your home at last!

Willow: Nothing could keep me away....hello baby

Tara: God, I have really missed you



The next day, Willow turned the grand old age of 40. There was a small party of family and friends at Glacelands. There was a cake with 40 written on it and lots of gifts for the birthday woman. Tara could tell there was something wrong with Willow, it seemed she was losing the passion for being her. Later alone in the yard, Tara and Willow had a small talk



Tara: What's wrong?

Willow: I can never be normal

Tara: What do you mean??

Willow: I can never work down a street, go to the park and even take Dawnie to school

Tara: Willow, you're very speical

Willow: I'm 40 now, I just wanna be little geeky Willow.....not rock star Willow

Tara: You wanna give all this up??

Willow: If I could find a way, I would kiss all this goodbye....just live with you and Dawnie alone

Tara: Willow, I know you hate being here at times, but you cant just throw it away

Willow: I would believe me.....I would



Willow bent over and gave Tara a huge kiss. Then she took Tara's hand and they walked around to the yard, talking and kissing. There was no more talk of Willow giving up her muiscal life to be normal. Tara knew that something Willow say's things and then never talks about them again. Then a few months after, Tara was printing Dawn's bedroom wall when she heared Willow yelling



Willow: Tara! Come quick.....I wanna show you something



Tara ran downstairs, worried Willow was hurt. She stopped just before she left the front door and saw a plane. Not just any plane but a Convair 880 jet standing there, with Willow standing next to it. The whole yard was almost taken up by it, Tara couldnt believe her eyes. Willow walked over, took her wife's hand and gave her a kiss



Willow: What do you think??

Tara: It's huge and it's in our back yard!

Willow: I just bought it! I always wanted my own plane......

Tara: Sweetie, why is it in our yard?

Willow: Someone flew it in....

Tara: What??

Willow: Ok, it was driven in. See the little car over there



She pointed to the back wall, there was a small car waiting. Tara still couldnt believe what was going on. She looked back to the plane and let out a giggle at the name



Tara: You've called it the Dawn Marie?

Willow: Yeah I did. Oh, come inside with me

Tara: It wont take off, will it?

Willow: Nope baby. I wanna show you the inside



Willow walked her wife up the plane stairs. Tara walked in and couldnt believe how big the inside's were, there was a king size bed! Tara looked around the plane before looking back to Willow



Willow: Like it?

Tara: It's huge but cool

Willow: Good coz I want you to be able to fly with style

Tara: This is style alright!

Willow: Dawnie is gonna love it!



Tara loved seeing Willow happy. After all their years together, they still loved and wanted each other. Sure Willow was 40 and Tara was 35 but there love was still hot with passion. Tara knew nothing could stop them or take their love away.

[Tempest Duer]

Whoa... Willow's still hot at forty... man... hehe.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[The Rose24]

This is a lovely story. I am still loving the family structure. Here's hoping W/T will be able to spend more time together soon.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

AmberAlysonlover ,

I love this fic! seeme so sad with her life. I'm glad that she has and Dawn with her. She bought a plane. She is a little crazy isn't she. Okay, so now you have m wondering. Is this where se starts to get the idea to fake her own death? I find one thing really sad. I was thinking,when she does fake her death does she let hr friends know or do they go on thinking that she is really dead. That is too sad. I can'twit to more. Update soon, please?

13 - Moody Blues



Willow had now turned 41 in 1967. At the start of the year, she had began to record her last ever ablum ' Moody Blues ' in the Jungle Room at Glacelands. Willow would record all night and then just still up with her family all day. Tara slowly could see that her wife was losing the passion for music, but trying to talk to Willow about it was like getting a blood out of a stone. Then one day, Tara sat down at an old piano and started to sing ' Are you lonesome tonight ' when Willow walked in and sat next to her. Tara bend and gave her wife a small kiss



Willow: You have a great voice

Tara: Nothing matches your voice, baby

Willow: Maybe we should sing a duet on the album

Tara: No way! Look at Paul and Linda....bad idea!



Willow let out a loud laugh. Tara was sad when the Beatles broke up, but then she couldnt stand Wings.



Willow: Tara, I need a rest

Tara: I can tell baby. I can see you have lost your passion for music

Willow: I just need to get away and be myself for once

Tara: Everything will work out for you, trust me



Willow smiled and melted into Tara's hug. They both sang together before Willow moved in for a kiss, which knocked Tara and her off the seat. They both fell onto the floor.



Willow ( grins ): Now seeing as we are down here

Tara: Willow!

Willow: Oh come on, let's get dirty!

Tara: Your a bad woman!

Willow: I'm just wicked Willow



They started to kiss, Willow let her hand's move down Tara's body. But then Tara began to move away.



Tara: What about Dawnie?

Willow: She is with Spike and Angel, she's fine

Tara: Well if you say so........



With that, Willow pulls a rug over them and start's to make love to Tara. Meanwhile, Dawn was bored and wanted to play. Spike and Angel were too busy watching tv. So Dawn walked outside, went to the stables and sat on her horse. Then something hit Dawn, maybe she could take the horse into the house! So she slowly rode up to the front door and rode into the horse, making Angel and Spike jump up.



Spike: Dawnie, get off that thing!

Dawn: No!

Angel: Get off before I pull you off!

Dawn: You have to catch me first!



Dawn rode off into the living room, with the guys running after her. Spike went to stop Dawn but fell over the coffee table. Soon Angel jumped onto a table and then knocked Dawn on the floor. Before anyone could get near her, Dawn let out a yell before starting to cry. Within seconds, Buffy, Faith, Fred, Anya and also Tara ran into the room. Seeing Dawn crying and sitting the floor, not to forget the horse, Tara ran over and picked her daughter up.



Tara: What the hell is going on?

Angel: She bought the bloody thing into the house

Spike: So we had to stop her

Tara: So you knocked her off the horse??

Angel: We never meant to hurt her

Tara: Faith, please go and get Willow

Faith: Sure thing, Tara



Within seconds, Willow came into the room. She saw a very upset Dawn and a very confused looking horse. Looking over at Angel and Spike, Willow temper went off



Willow: What did you do?

Spike: Red, she bought the horse into the house



Willow walked over the Dawn, picked her up and gave her a hug



Willow: So you hurt my daugther and upset my wife?

Angel: Listen, if you were a better mother then maybe your daugther wouldnt be such an ass!

Willow: Pardon me??

Angel You heared me, Willow



With that, Willow walked over to him and hit him hard in the face. Angel fell back onto his ass and Willow stood over him. Everyone didnt move or even go to help Angel. He had dug his own grave



Willow: You're sacked!

Angel: What?

Willow: You heared me, you're sacked! I dont need you anymore



Spike then walked into the fight



Spike: Now come on Red.......



Willow turned to Spike



Willow: Oh do you wanna go with him?

Spike: No, I dont

Willow: Then shut up! This is between me and him



Spike backed off and re joined the girls. Tara was now watching and still hugging Dawn



Willow: Now pack up your crap and fuck off, Angel

Angel: Dont worry I am going. I hated being with you anyway



Angel slowly stood up and walked out of the house. Willow then turned to her other friends and looked at each of them



Willow: If you ever hurt Dawn or Tara, like Angel did, then I will sack you. Do I make myself clear?



Willow saw her all friends nod their answer. Willow then took Tara's hand and walked out and up to their room. When they were alone, Buffy was the first to speak.



Buffy: That wasnt Willow, wasnt it?

Faith: She was mad, B, dont worry about it

Spike: Yeah she's cool



Meanwhile, Willow checked her daughter over. She had a small cut on her forehead but nothing real bad. Tara could tell that Willow was angry and a little fed up



Tara: Sweetie, talk to me

Willow: That bastard! I give him everything and he treats me like this!

Tara: Dawnie, go outside and play

Dawn: Ok mommy



Once Dawn was gone, Willow really let loose



Willow: I bought him into our home, bought him homes, car's, boats...everything! Then he hurts Dawnie!

Tara: He didnt mean too

Willow: I dont care! No one can touch my child and get away with it!

Tara: Come on, just calm down

Willow: I've had enough! I just wanna be Willow, not this rock star

Tara: I know you dont like it. It's what you are

Willow: Not for much longer.......



Tara watched her wife walk to the window. It was a warm, sunny day and Dawn was now swimming with Buffy.



Tara: Not any more?

Willow: I have an idea, wanna hear it?

Tara: Yes I would

Willow: There's a fan I met, who look's just like me, she is gonna become me

Tara: Become?

Willow: Take over while I leave everything behind



Tara started to laugh. She couldnt believe what Willow was talking about.



Tara: Oh yeah and I am gonna marry Xander

Willow: It's true. I have been planning this for a while now

Tara: I wanna meet this girl, get to know her

Willow: Sure, she is coming over soon

Tara: Good but do you really know what you're doing?

Willow: I really do. I need to get away baby

Tara: I know but I want to know more

Willow: You will soon baby



Tara nods, walks over and slowly kisses Willow. She knew Willow couldnt stand doing this anymore. She needed to be able to walk down a street, go to the park with Dawn and just be normal. Willow was older now and she didnt wanna be on stage all her life, singing ' Heartbreak Hotel'.



Then from Feb till August, Willow toured the US again. Tara and Dawn would come along from time to time, but Willow hated it. All she wanted was too go home and never tour ever again. Then one day, when Willow was in Texas, she got a called off Tara who was in tears



Willow: Baby, whats wrong?

Tara: It's mama

Willow: Is Andrea sick?

Tara: She.....she had an heart attack last nite

Willow: Oh sweetie

Tara: She's gone, Willow....my mama's gone

Willow: That's it, I am coming home. I cant let you go through this alone

Tara: Would that be ok??

Willow: I dont care. I need to be at your side



Within a few hours, Willow was back home and hugging her wife. Tara fell into Willow's arms the moment she walked througth the door.



Willow: Don't worry, I'm here now

Tara: She's gone! She up and left me!

Willow: I know baby, I know



With that Tara broke down. She wanted to stay strong but with Willow's arms around her, she couldnt stop it. Within a week, Andrea was buried next to Willow's mother, Shelia. Tara knew that Willow would never leave her. They were together forever. Nothing could come between them and pull them apart. Later in the night, Willow and Tara were in bed. Willow was hugging her wife and running her finger's throught her hair



Willow: Baby, I have called off the concerts

Tara: All of them?

Willow: Yes. I didnt wanna leave you

Tara: Thank you baby. So when I am gonna meet that girl?

Willow: Soon. She has gone away for a while, but once she's back

Tara: We will have to tell Dawnie

Willow: Yes but only her. I dont wanna tell anyone esle

Tara: Not even Ira??

Willow: No one would understand

Tara: That's true baby

Willow: Let's get some sleep, night baby



Tara nodded and watched Willow fall asleep. She looked so cute when she was asleep. Tara knew once Willow gave up all this, they wouldnt have to be parted again. But Tara was worried that something would go wrong, but Willow told her ever to worry. Month's had passed and Willow enjoyed the time with Tara and Dawn. She never missed doing her conerts or meeting her fans. She was at peace with her family. Then one day before November, Buffy and Faith walked into the living room, hand in hand.



Faith: Red, we have something to tell you

Willow: What's wrong?

Buffy: Faith asked me to marry her and I said yes

Willow: Holy crap!

Tara: That's wonderful news!



Willow walked over to her friend and gave them a hug. Tara followed and gave each woman a small kiss on the cheek.



Buffy: I have something esle to ask

Willow: Go ahead?

Buffy: Would you be my best man?

Willow: How about best woman, I would love too

Faith: Tara, wanna be the bride's maid?

Tara: I would be happy too

Faith: And we want Dawnie to be the paige girl

Willow: You better ask her



Dawn then came running in, coved with mud. It seemed the 8 year old has been playing with Kate, Xander and Anya's only child.



Willow: Faith wants to ask you something

Dawn: I didnt do anything!

Faith: You're in the clear, but would you like to be our paige girl?

Dawn: Do I have to wear a dress?



Willow and Tara both let out a small giggle



Faith: Yes but a cute dress

Dawn: Yeah alright I'll do it

Faith: Thank's Dawnie



So just before the end of the month, Buffy and Faith got married. They used the ground's of Glaceland's for the wedding. Willow, Tara and Dawn all wore matching dresses for the big day. Willow was more scared about being best man then what she looked like for once. Willow and Buffy were almost sisters, they were so close. Later that night, Willow slowly stood up and did her best man speech



Willow: I am so happy for Buffy and Faith. Today has been such a happy and wonderful day for everyone. Buffy is like a sister to me, we have been friend's from the start. I have never met a nicer woman. Faith, well is my minder. She picked on me in high school, till the day she heared my sing. We hit it off and become great friends. I am very happy I met everyone of you in this room, I couldnt have done all this without you. I will never forget you all



Tara could tell that was Willow's way of saying goodbye. But then Willow turned to her father, who was drinking with Joyce.



Willow: Daddy, I love you so much. We have been througth hell and back. We have lost mama but our love still is strong. I will never stop loving you.



Ira pulled Willow into a warm hug. Willow caught Tara's eyes and they both give each other a smile. Soon it was christmas time. This was gonna be Willow ever last christmas at Glacelands, so she made the most of it. She filled the house up with gifts, laughter and singing. Willow loved to make everyone happy. Then one night, Willow's double turned up for the christmas party. Tara couldnt believe how much alike they were.



Willow: What do you think?

Tara: It's scary! She is just like you!

Willow: Why do you think I picked her?

Tara: Good thing you did



The girl was laughing with ' The Memphis Mafia '. They really liked her and they seemed to hit it off big time. The girl had long red hair, green eyes, the Willow smile and was well just like Willow in everyway, shape and form.



Tara: So when's it gonna happen?

Willow: Next summer, around August

Tara: So what's gonna happen?

Willow: She takes over and I leave for good

Tara: Then??

Willow: Then what??

Tara: Does she start singing your songs?

Willow: Nope. I will take care of the Colonel, it will be fine

Tara: I know you have planned something

Willow: She is a drug taker, she said will all overdose

Tara: WHAT??



Willow knew Tara would take that bad. Willow told the girl to overdose but not to die, she wanted a break but not for her to die. Willow knew she would have to return to make her friends, family and fans happy.



Willow: Look, she wont die. She overdoses and takes years off

Tara: Are you mad?

Willow: Tara, I need to go away. She will take my place and the rest will happen

Tara: And does Dawnie understand??

Willow: Yes I told her. She told me she understood everything

Tara: So now we just wait??

Willow: Yes. Then when the time comes, we leave

Tara: Are you sure??



Willow nods and rubs her eyes



Willow: 100% sure.....I need to get away

Tara: I will stand by you.....I understand why you are doing this

Willow: I love you baby girl

Tara: And I love you too



Willow slowly kisses Tara before she walks away. Tara sits back, looks at the other red headed girl and wonders how this will end. She knew she could help her wife do this but how would she keep the game up when she hear's Willow is ' dead '? Only time will tell.......

[Tempest Duer]

Oooh... Willow's running away... and Willow's going to take care of the Colonel, too... hehehe... I'm excited.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[AmberAlysonlover]

Tempest Duer: Yeah Willow is running away! Tara is making sure nothing goes wrong and the Colonel....well he gets more nasty really......



I am gonna write the last part tomorrow. I hope I can end it off real good.......and then Willow and Tara can live together forever......

[Tempest Duer]

I'll be waiting...

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[bluewillowwitch]

AmberAlysonlover ,

I loved this update! The wedding was a great idea! The look alike is to overdose but not die, yeah that's going to go well. NOT! is going to be thought dead and then and Dawn have to pretend they are sad when they know that she really isn't. What about the rest of them? The last part? It's over so soon. I'll have to just do with waiting for an update from your other fic. Can't wait for the end. Hope it turns out at least a little happier than I'm thinking.

14 - Anywhere Is Paradise



Willow started 1977 off with another tour. She had turned 42 and really didnt wanna leave Tara or Dawn anymore. Tara would come out once in a while, but they never got time alone. Willow was too busy and she hated leaving Tara alone in the hotel room. There was no time for smoochies or snuggles. But like always the tour was a smash and the fans loved seeing Willow up on stage. All Willow wanted was to leave all this behind and settle up with her wife and daughter forever. Then one night, Willow called home



Willow: I need to come home

Tara: Just another few weeks baby

Willow: I dont care! I need to be with you

Tara: Maybe I should come out and be with you?

Willow: Yes! I'll get Dawn Marie ready for you

Tara: Just call me when its time



But a few days later, Tara got a called off Xander. It seems that Willow had fallen down in her hotel room and broke her leg. They were gonna fly home that same day. Tara and Dawn went over to get Willow. Once the plane landed, Tara saw Willow waving out from the small window. She was helped down the stairs and into the car. Once home at Glacelands, Tara took her wife to their bedroom. Once Tara had closed the door, Willow undid her cast and gave Willow a sly smile



Tara: You faked it!

Willow: I had to find a way to come home

Tara: But your tour?? You will let your fans down

Willow: They understand. I dont have to tour for a month! Dont you want me home?



She gave Tara a puppy dog look. Tara could never say no to that face



Tara: I am very happy. You are a very bad woman

Willow: Come here and kiss me



Tara walked over and gave her wife a soft kiss. Willow pulled her into her arms and onto the bed. Once they kissed for a little while, Tara snuggled deeper and let out a sigh



Willow: What's wrong?

Tara: Are you sure you still wanna do this?

Willow: Tara, I need to rest. I've had enough of being a rock star.....I just wanna be me

Tara: So when does she come in?

Willow: End of July

Tara: What do we do?

Willow: Go to Alabama and live happy ever after

Tara: You think nothing will go wrong??

Willow: Trust me, I am the Queen of rock and roll



A few days later they met with Lara. They had met some many times before but more and more Lara become like Willow. They could have been twin sisters, so whats what Tara thought. Lara knew everything about Willow and looked at her in awe.



Lara: So when do I move in?

Willow: End of July

Lara: And I be you for a years?

Willow: Yep, doesnt that sound good??

Lara: It sounds wonderful

Tara: I wanna ask you something

Lara: Sure, whats wrong?

Tara: I dont want you to take any more drugs. Not if my daugther is gonna be there

Lara: You mean Dawn??

Willow: Look, guys calm down. Dawn is only staying there till August 16, then she comes to Alabama

Lara: Why not take her with you?

Willow: She wants to stay with Faith and Buffy. She knows we need time alone

Lara: Cool. I will stay away from her, thats cool

Willow: So it's all sorted out now



Tara nodded but she knew that something was gonna happen. She had a feeling in her gut and she was worried about the outcome. A few weeks later, on June 17, Willow did her last tv concert. Willow went onstage a little down. Her fans could see she wasnt enjoying music anymore, but she still gave a wonderful concert. Just before she sung ' Are You Lonesome Tonight ' Willow began to laugh



Willow: Sorry, I'm kinda down tonite



But she carried on for her fans. She went off the stage and heared Spike tell her fans



Ladies and Gentleman....Willow has left the buliding



Then a few days later, Willow did her last ever concert. It happened in Indianaoplis Market Sqaure arena. Like always Willow put on a good show and gave her fans their money worth. Tara and Dawn were they to see her last gig and Tara could see her losing the passion for this music life. At the end of the gig, Willow told her fans



Willow: Till we meet again, may god bless you all. Adios.



The place went up in screams. Willow had said goodbye to her fans and left the stage. Running to her limo, the screams carried on and Willow gave herself a smile. Willow didnt feel sad that she was gonna leave all this goodbye. She felt happy that her life was gonna start again. Only with Tara and Dawn. In the last few weeks, Willow had fun and started to pack up. She never told her friends she was leaving till one nite, she left by the back door. Front the outside, Lara walked into her role. Tara was gonna fly over to Alabama the next day but she was still worried leaving Dawn at Glacelands. Dawn, who was now 9 years old, didnt wanna leave Faith or Buffy till she had too.



Then on August 1, Tara flew out to be with Willow. She arrived at their house in Alabama and saw Willow waiting at the front door. Willow stood there, holding red roses and smiling like a mad woman. Tara flew her arms around Willow and gave her a deep kiss. They looked into each other's eyes



Tara: Please take me to bed

Willow: I would love too



Tara then took Willow's hand and led her upstairs. But once they got there, Tara pulled Willow onto the bathroom. Willow looked into the bathroom mirror and saw Tara undressing. Once she was naked, Tara turned on the shower and then looked back at Willow. The room was hot, full of steam and Willow wouldnt think properly. Willow then heared something drop to the ground, she saw that Tara was had dropped the towel and was totally naked. Tara gave Willow a sexy half grin and licked her lips



Tara: Make love to me, Willow



With those words, Willow accidentally pulled the entire wall cabient off, all the contents went flying about the room. Willow had totally destroyed it. Willow moved around and picked Tara up, she wrapped her legs around Willow. Willow looked down at her wife's nudity, slowly moaning Willow pushed her against the shower wall



Tara: I've been waiting forever for this



Willow moved forward and kissed her deeply, moaning into Tara's mouth. Their tongues began to fight with each other, before Tara sucked on Willow's tonuge, that sent shives up and down her spine. Willow started to caress Tara's breasts, making Tara moan and hold onto Willow's head. Tara then began to kiss down Willow's neck



Tara: I so love your neck.....



Willow groaned and started to kiss Tara harder



Willow: I need to really ravish you



Tara went to say something but stopped. Willow was now pulling on Tara's nipples and saw Tara move her head back. So Willow moved forward and began to suck and bite Tara's neck, hard and deep. Then Willow moved her hand down between Tara's legs.



Tara: Oh god......Willow



Willow loved hearing Tara say her name. It sounded so sexy



Willow: Tara, you feel so good



Willow then began to caress Tara's tight bundle of nerves. Tara moaned and started to moan her hips against Willow's hand. Willow loved the way Tara felt on her hand, so wet and so warm. So Tara wrapped her legs harder around Willow, they moved in time together.



Tara: Willow, I have been so worked up



Willow looked up to her wife



Tara: I dont think I cant last much longer



Tara's word came out strained. Willow just smiled in a feral way



Willow: I bet your cunt is really wet......



Tara groaned and bent her lips to Willow's ears. She slowly sucked on it and heared Willow groan out



Tara: Why dont you find out?



Willow moaned in response and sild her fingers into Tara. Her wife was so wet, totally liquid heat. Willow looked into Tara's eyes, they both smiled and kissed. Then Willow drove two fingers deep into Tara's body. With that, Tara bent her head back and yelled out, then Tara's breasts pushed against Willow's. With that, Willow's mind shut down and she couldnt think much



Tara: Oh Will, Ooooh god....you feel sooooooo.....uhhhhh



Willow pushed her fingers in deeper now. She started to slide them in and out slowly before moving faster. Tara rocked and rolled on Willow's hand. It felt so good for Willow and Tara. Still after all these years, Willow still knew what she needed



Tara: Will, so you are so good. Please dont stop



Willow started to suck on Tara's breasts now. She sucked and bit her wife's nipples hard, but for some reason she stopped moving her hand. Tara didnt like this but she carried on rocking on her hand. Then Willow felt Tara move around and pull her fingers in deeper



Willow: Holy crap! Tara that was sooooo good



Willow started to move in time with Tara. She knew Tara was gonna come and so she picked up her pace. Tara held onto Willow's head and carried on rocking agaisnt her hand. Tara had never felt any better then she did right now



Tara: Will, dont stop!

Willow: Believe me, I wont stop anytime soon

Tara: Do it harder!



Willow was desperate to hear Tara say that again. So she started to fuck Tara harder, slamming her body onto the wall.



Willow: Come on baby, come on Tara......come for me



Willow moved her fingers harder and deeper, while bending her fingers



Tara: God yes!



Then Willow felt Tara starting to contract around her fingers. Tara cried out and bent back on the wall. She was moving her head from side to side, holding onto Willow tighter now. Tara was pulsating so hard around Willow's hand, Willow was scared that her finger's wouldnt come out. Once Tara came, Willow picked up and carried her to their bedroom. She slowly paced Tara in the middle of the bed.



Tara pulled Willow in for a kiss. The kiss was hot and full of passion. Willow was now dripping wet from the shower, she didnt take her clothes off. So Tara started to undress her wife, but Willow didnt want that. So Willow pushed her roughty back onto the bed



Willow: No!



Tara didnt like Willow's show of dominance. Willow began to kiss down her wife's body, slowly pacing kisses and licks all over her. Willow stopped and looked up to her wife



Willow: You are so beautiful

Tara: So are you, sweetie



Willow slowly moved between her legs. Slowly she began to lick



Tara: Oh Willow!



Willow started to lick at Tara's clit before pulling her closer. Tara started to moan and then she felt Willow push her tongue deep into her, which made Tara moan out loud. Willow loved how Tara tasted, so yummy...so sweet like chocolate. Willow went back and just buried her head between Tara's legs. Tara loved the feeling Willow was given her and so she rocked against her wife's tongue. The deeper Willow went, the more Tara pushed her closer.



Tara felt her orgasm brurst through her body. Willow felt Tara's wetness cover her chin and she heared Tara yell out



Tara: WILLOW!



With that Tara fell back onto the bed. So Willow slowly move up Tara's sweaty body and gave her a small kiss. Tara's legs fell onto the bed in exhaustion. Tara pulled her wife closer and just held each other. They kissed and Tara licked off her arousal, which was still on Willow's face



Willow: Are you ok? I didnt hurt you, did I?



Willow saw a sleepy smile on her wife's face. Then with a dreamy laugh, Tara pulled Willow closer once again



Tara: I'm all shook up



Willow laughed and gave Tara a loving kiss. She then watched her wife fall asleep and sunggled down for her own nap. But Tara had a sad dream. That their plan was gonna fail, backfire in a big way for Willow.

[Tempest Duer]

Grrr cliffhangers... oh well. This chapter was

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[The Rose24]

I hope Willow will finally get the break she wants because family is more important. Also, who would want to leave Tara for months at a time?

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

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



15 - To live and die in Dixie Land ............



It was August 16,1977, Tara found the day to be overcast and dreary. It's not a normal beautiful Alabama day. Tara had left Willow in bed so she could get food and everything ready for Dawn. Tara walked outside to an stillness, an un - normal calm. She drove into town and saw a number of people crying, then she saw her friend, Michelle. She pulled over and Michelle came to the window.



Tara: What's wrong, Michelle?

Michelle: Tara, I heared the news. I am sorry

Tara: What's happened?

Michelle: Xander called me, Willow's is in hospital



Tara felt a wave of panic hit her. Xander wouldnt have called unless it was bad news.



Tara: I need to go



With that, Tara drove off and headed home. She hoped everything was alright and Dawn was safe. But she felt a cold rush go through her.....



Tara: Please let everything be ok



Tara ran through every red light and once she arrived home, she heared the phone ringing. She guessed Willow was still fast asleep. She stopped the car, jumped out and ran to the front door. She was worried the phone would stop ringing



Tara: Dont hang up! I'm coming!



She fell through the door, dropped her keys and picked up the phone. Tara was worried who or what was on the other end.



Tara: Hello, hello?



All Tara could hear was the hum of the long distance line, then a stricken faint voice



Xander: Tara, it's Xander

Tara: What's wrong?

Xander: It's Willow

Tara: Please tell me she's ok?

Xander: Tara, she's dead



Tara's mind began to scream. Their plan had fallen on it's ass



Tara: No! No, this wasnt gonna happen

Xander: She's gone



Both Xander and Tara began to cry down the phone



Tara: Where is Dawn?

Xander: She is playing outside

Tara: Get me the plane ready, I'm coming home



With that, Tara dropped the phone and ran up to their bedroom. Willow was still fast asleep, she looked so sweet. Tara couldnt believe that she was ' dead '. She walked up to Willow, bent down and shook her awake



Tara: Get up!

Willow: What is hell is going on?

Tara: Lara is dead!

Willow: What the fuck? Are you joking?

Tara: NO! Get up we are leaving

Willow: She cant be dead, what about our plan??

Tara: Forget it, we need to get to Dawn



Tara moved around the room, picking up Willow's clothes. She was mad coz everything had gone good to bad



Willow: Go back to Glacelands?

Tara: Yes, Glacelands

Willow: I cant go back! They think I'm dead!

Tara: Willow Aaron Rosenbreg....get up now!

Willow: But.......



They were stopped by the phone ringing. Tara hoped it was all a bad dream and everything wsa fine. But they was to be no happy endings.



Dawn: Mommy, mommy



Tara's heart broke when she heared their daughter's voice. She was confused about what was going on, she needed her mommy



Dawn: Something's happened to mama



Tara wanted to hug her daugther down the phone. She hated hearing her daugther so upset



Tara: Sweetie, I heared what happened. Listen to me, I am coming home. I am waiting for the plane to come and bring me to you. Just stay in our bedroom, away from everyone

Dawn: Everyone's crying mommy



Tara felt helpless. What could she say to her daughter. Dont cry coz your mama is still alive?? Tara was worried Dawn was gonna hear or see. She was mad at Willow for everything right now. She was mad for putting their daughter through this



Tara: Listen sweetie, stay in our bedroom. I will be there very soon



In the background, Tara would hear Ira crying and yelling out



Ira: My daughter is gone! Dear god, I've lost my baby girl

Dawn: I am gonna go out to play

Tara: Good idea. I will see you soon



Tara hung up and saw Willow coming down the stairs. She could tell Willow was scared and freaked out. Willow never wanted Lara to die, that wasnt the plan. Tara was mad at her wife till she saw Willow's worried face. They walked into each other's arms and hugged tight. Tara pulled away and looked into Willow's green eyes



Tara: Listen, dont leave the house. I am going home. Then I will bring Dawn here so she can see you

Willow: They think I am dead?

Tara: Listen to me, I will bring Dawn home. Just stay in and dont leave ok?

Willow: Dont be too long

Tara: I wont. I love you



A few hours passed and Willow private jet came. Tara climbed into their bed and hugged the cover's. She knew once she arrive home, everyone would be going through hell. She knew Dawn would be hurt, what would happen if they worked out Willow was still alive? Tara just closed her eyes and blocked her mind.



The trip seemed endless. By the time Tara had arrived, she was met by a crush of press and fans. They needed to know what was going on. Tara was rushed into a car and driven to Glacelands. She was met by frantic family and friends, throwing themselfs into her arms. Ira was sitting with Faith and Buffy, who didnt show their sadness. Tara felt everyone's pain and it was totally devastating.



Tara saw Dawn riding her goft cart with Kate. At first Tara was amazed that she could play at this time. Then Tara remembered Willow wasnt dead, she was still alive. But Dawn didnt know that right now. Dawn looked over, saw Tara and ran off to her mommy's arms.



Dawn: Is it true? Is mama really gone??



Tara was lost for words. She was their child, it was hard to lie to everyone esle but she couldnt to their daugther. Tara held her little girl, kissed her cheek and then shook her head



Tara: Mama is fine, sweetie. What happened here isnt what you think. Believe me when I say, mama is alive.



Dawn looked into Tara's blue eyes. She could tell her mother was telling her the truth. Dawn kissed her mommy and went off to play some more. Tara then walked upstairs and used the phone to call Willow. It didnt take long before Willow picked up



Willow: Tara? What's going on?

Tara: It's hell. I need you here

Willow: I cant come home! They think I'm dead?

Tara: Get a hotel room, Dawnie needs us both

Willow: How's daddy?

Tara: How do you think? Heartbroken Will

Willow: I'm coming now, I'll see you soon

Tara: I love you



From behind her, Faith walked into the bedroom. Tara jumped and turned to face her. Faith could see through Tara's fake heartache, so she moved closer and then looked into Tara's eyes



Faith: Willow aint dead, is she?

Tara: No Faith. She paid Lara to take her life

Faith: Take her life?? for good??

Tara: No one knew this would happen

Faith: Well good for Red. She wanted to get away

Tara: Your not mad?

Faith: Never. Red is a wonderful woman

Tara: Yeah, well at times



Faith came closer and pulled Tara into a hug. They have always been close friends from the first time they met. Then Faith took Tara into see Buffy. Tara needed to know what happened that night and day. Buffy told Tara they they played some racquetball before ' Willow ' headed up to bed. She was knackered and needed some rest. But Buffy saw ' Willow ' head into the bathroom around 12pm. Then a few hours later, Faith went to check on ' Willow ' and found her face down on the bathroom floor.



Faith then called Buffy and Xander to help her. Buffy called paramedics, leaving Xander to give ' Willow ' mouth to mouth. Faith was worried Dawn would see this, but it was too late. Dawn was hiding behind the bathroom door, crying for her mama. Then Dawn watched them take ' Willow ' away. They worked on ' Willow ' in the amblance and once they arrived at the local hospial. They worked on her for an hour, but it was all futile. ' Willow ' was pronounced dead on arrival of heart failure.



Ira: They are bring my little girl home tomorrow

Tara: Oh god, this is too much

Ira: We have lost someone so beautiful, so young

Tara: We havent lost her, Ira. I know we havent

Ira: She's dead. Tara she wont be coming back

Tara: I better go and get a hotel. I want Dawn to get a good nites sleep

Ira: Call me??

Tara: Always



Once at the hotel, Tara watched Dawn sleeping. She looked so at peace, so sweet like an angel. Then Tara heared a soft knock at the door. She walked over and opened it to see a worried Willow. They fell into each other's arms.



Tara: Willow, thank god

Willow: I dont know.....what is going on

Tara: She died of heart failure. Everyone is so cut up



Willow was now crying. She was happy to be in her wife's arms. Then she looked over and saw a sleeping Dawn. Just seeing her little girl's face mad her heart jump. She pulled out of Tara's arms and walked over to the bed. Willow bent down and gave Dawn a small, loving kiss



Willow: I need to see my father

Tara: You cant go back, you will get ripped apart

Willow: I dont care. I dont want my father to die of a broken heart

Tara: Listen to me, Lara is dead which means your dead.

Willow: I didnt want that! I didnt know she was gonna die

Tara: I know sweetie, I'm sorry I yelled



Then Dawn jumped up in bed. She couldnt believe it when she saw her mama, alive and standing in front of her. Willow walked over and slowly picked up her 9 year old daugther



Dawn: Mama? Is that you?

Willow: It's me baby girl....I am alive

Dawn: I thought you were dead??



Dawn wrapped her legs around Willow. She didnt wanna let go, incase this was still a bad dream. Dawn started to cry, Willow rocked her back and forth. She never wanted to hurt her, never in her life. Soon Dawn fell back to sleep.....



Willow: What do we do?

Tara: Nothing. It's all over Willow

Willow: I just need to talk to daddy, please let me

Tara: Listen, your getting buried in 2 days. Stay in this room, dont leave for nothing.

Willow: I'm scared

Tara: I know you are. I will sort something out

Willow: I love you so much

Tara: I love you too



The next day Tara watched friends, family and fans walk past ' Willow's ' casket. She felt sick coz she knew Willow was still alive. She was hiding in a downtown motel. Tara wished she could stand up and say ' She's alive!' but she couldnt. Once everyone was gone, Ira took Tara into see ' Willow '. Tara took a deep breath and looked into the casket. The sight took her breath away, she forget it wasnt Willow for a second. But she felt herself began to cry



Tara: You look so peaceful, so happy. I hope everywhere you are, things are wonderful and great for you. But dont cause too much trouble at the pearly gates



Tara was now crying for Lara. She was gone but everyone thought she was Willow. She was gonna take Willow name and use it on her grave. Then Tara heared Ira start to yell, she walked out and saw the Colonel. He was dressed a blue shirt and jeans. He didnt look too upset to Tara, all he wanted was money. This wasnt the right time or place



Tara: Hey, jackass....back off!

The Colonel: Look its the widow.....how sweet

Tara: My wife is dead. She no longer needs you

The Colonel: You cant sack me! Who do you think you are you?

Tara: Tara Rosenbreg.....Willow's wife. Your sacked. Leave Ira alone and never come back!

The Colonel: You are a total bitch

Tara: If you dont leave, hey Faith and Buffy come here



The two girls walked over to Tara.



Tara: I will make these woman kick you out!



The Colonel looked at the woman. They would take no bull shit and they would kick him out. He just shook his head and walked to the front door.



The Colonel: I hope you dont lose Dawn next

Tara: GET LOST!!!!!



The Colonel walked to his car and drove off. Tara watched him go before seeing Willow hiding behind a tree. She couldnt believe Willow had come out. She looked back to Buffy and Faith



Tara: I need some air



She walked into the back yard and stood in front of Willow. Willow slowly smiled but knew Tara was mad at her.



Tara: What are you doing here?

Willow: I need to see my daddy

Tara: Go back to the hotel. You cant see him

Willow: NO! I need to see him



Tara got mad and pulled Willow agaisnt the tree



Tara: If you go in there, they would kill you! The whole house is in shock and heartache. Go back to the hotel!

Willow: I will but one day, I'll see my daddy



Tara watched Willow slowly walk off into the darkness. She felt bad for her wife, but everything was too much. If Willow did walk in, the whole place would panic and freak out big time. Tara and Dawn stayed at Glacelands that night for the service the next day. The day was hard for Tara and Dawn, they acted like they were sad. Only Faith could feel thier pain. They then went to the grave yard, and Tara watched them lower ' Willow ' into the ground. She held onto Dawn tight. But a few days later, Ira moved ' Willow's ' body to the Meditation Garden at Glacelands. When Tara arrived at the hotel, she broke down in Willow's loving arms.



Tara: It's been so hard

Willow: I am so sorry. I never knew it would end like this

Tara: It's not your fault, sweetie. No one knew Lara had a bad heart

Willow: I hated making you act like I was dead, god I'm such a bitch

Tara: No your not. It's been hard but it will get better.

Willow: What can I do to make it up to you?

Tara: Take me to bed and hold me



The next day, Tara woke up alone. She knew Willow had gone off to see her father. She was worried what was gonna happen, but she couldnt stop Willow. She knew once she did this, they could move on from Glacelands. By now, Willow was running through the woods, she jumped over the back yard wall and walked up to the front door. She walked into her old house, it felt so cold. Then she heared her father talkin on the phone, so she took a deep breath and walked in to see her father.



Ira, had his back to the door. He was talking to a friend when he stopped, took the phone from his ear and slowly turned his chair around. He couldnt believe what he was seeing, he thought it was the ghost of Willow....till she spoke



Willow: Hello daddy

Ira: Willow??



Willow nodded at her father and give him a small smile. Ira slowly stood up, walked over and pulled Willow into a deep hug. Willow melted and began to cry. They couldnt let go of each other.



Ira: I knew you wasnt dead....I had a feeling

Willow: I am so sorry I put you through this

Ira: Dont cry, Willow....your home now

Willow: I'm not gonna live here. I cant daddy, I'm dead

Ira: What? Where are you gonna go?

Willow: Back to Alabama....with Tara and Dawnie

Ira: You are happy at last?



Willow pulled away and looked into his eyes.



Willow: I am happy. I feel sad coz Lara is dead...but I am happy

Ira: I am so gald my little girl is alive.

Willow: I need to go, daddy. I just had to come and say goodbye

Ira: Call me once you get home?

Willow: I will daddy. I love you so much

Ira: I love you too, baby girl



Willow held her father tighter. They didnt wanna pull away from each other. Willow gave him a last kiss and slowly walked away. She started to walk towards the back wall, then stopped and turned to the Meditation Garden. She looked down at her grave, she felt her heart miss a beat and so she sat down and placed her hand on it.



Willow: I am so sorry about what happened. I know your taking my place, I am grateful for that. But one day, I will take my own place, but you will keep it warm for me.



Willow placed a kiss on her name. It felt freaky but at last Willow felt 100% happy. She was just gonna become normal Willow, the rock star was dead. She couldnt wait to be alone with Tara and Dawn forever. The next day, Willow, Tara and Dawn felt to go back to Alabama. They were gonna start anew, and it felt great.



Tara: Are you happy?

Willow: 100% happy baby girl

Tara: I am happy your happy, for a price

Willow: There's always a price for everything

Tara: So are you ready to go home?

Willow: Yeah I am. This does prove something......

Tara: What??

Willow: There is life after death



Tara held Willow close and kissed her. This was a new start for everyone. There was no tours, records or insane fans. All Willow was now was.....normal.



Back to 2003



So there you have it. I faked my own death, see the stories were true. I am now 77 years old, yeah I'm very old. Me and Tara are still together, still happy and in love. Dawnie become a singer this year, she's a true rocker. I am very proud of my little girl, but I think she could pick better guys to marry! I mean Micheal Jackson was a huge mistake! Anyway, I just wanted my side to be told. I hope you all enjoyed it. I enjoyed telling you what really happened to me. But for now, I am gonna join Tara on the sofa....Angel is on! So Till next time, Ladies and gentleman....Willow is still in the building.............

[Arwen276]

The whole dying part, was so sad and frustrating!

Poor Tara, she had to endure so much!



I'm kinda surprised no one noticed there was a difference between Willows ...



Great ending! and hmm Willow at 77? watching Angel on the sofa curled up with Tara?



that's so sweet!! and Dawnie with Michael Jackson? LOL





~Arwen

Hear That Baby? You're My Always... Willow

[Tempest Duer]

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[The Rose24]

Magnificent ending. *sigh*



I am glad things work out for our ladies, but I am so sorry for Lara.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.
