A Child, You Say?

Postby musicmad10 » Sun Jan 09, 2005 1:57 pm

Hello. I haven't posted for ages, and i'm sorry i haven't completed my last story 'Suprise Suprise' i don't know if i will it depends if i get an idea how to end it.



Well here's a new story, hope you like it.



Summary- Willow and Tara are 19 and in college. They have a dorm room together and have been going out for about a year.



That's about all that you need to know so far! ;)







A Child, You Say?



Chapter One- Kill the Demon



Room 167 on the 3rd floor of UC Sunnydale was unusually quiet this evening. Only the rustle of paper and a few sighs of frustration where heard in the last two hours.



Come on I can do this, I know I can I mean, hello? I’m clever! Thinks Willow biting her lip a little as she flips back over her assignment sheet for Physc 101.



She looks so adorable. Stop it! I’ve got to stop looking at her and do my stupid work. We said we’d do the work now and get it out of the way, so no more late nights for us. Well with our clothes on anyway. Grins Tara trying to get that thought out of her head otherwise she’d never be able to concentrate.



“I can’t do this!” moans Willow.

“Yes you can,” says Tara lending moral support.

“No I can’t cause my minds not in it. I keep thinking about what happened last night with that demon. I mean it nearly killed Buffy, and it came close to you well that’s very bad in my books!”

“Yes but the only thing we can do is that spell and well I don’t want to sound all stupid but it’s a bit advanced for us,” replies Tara sitting up on the bed to face Willow by the desk.

“It is but we won’t know until we try and I say I think we should do it. We’re going to do that spell, it’s our job to help kill the bad guys!” she says as she stands up from her chair and stamps her foot on the floor to make a statement.



Willow gives Tara her resolve face and she knows she’s already lost the battle.

“Okay, okay and anyway it gets me out of doing my homework so I’m all for it,” remembers Tara chirpily.

“Oh I’ll make sure you do it missy, so you don’t get chucked out of College and out of our lovely room, but here are the ingredients,” says Willow handing over a bag of smelly substances with a big grin.

“You already had it all set didn’t you?”

“Well yeah I was gonna do it at some point. Don’t be mad,” pouts Willow as she steps up to Tara and rubs her hands up and down Tara’s arms.

“I’m not. Okay where’s the spell?”



Above the building unknown to anyone is a spirit watching over them. It wears black and is the form of a woman, but it is impossible to tell whether it is a good or bad spirit.



“We’re done. See it wasn’t too hard now. So at least I don’t have to worry about the demon killing you. But there’s still a whole load of demons left to kill just to be sure that never happens,”

“You’re my hero!” says Tara mocking a damsel in distress.

“You’re so sweet. I think you should join me in drama as Buffy chickened out,” Willow replies as she kisses Tara firmly on the lips.

Quickly checking all candles are out she pusses Tara down onto the bed.





The spirit has seen all it needs to and quickly drifts away into the dark nights clouds.



TBC....



I hope you like it so. I should update either later this week or weekend.



Luv Hannah :banana

Chapter Two

Postby musicmad10 » Thu Jan 13, 2005 12:51 am

As promised here is the next chapter. I won't waffle on, so here it is- ;)



Chapter Two – Oh Baby!



It’s the day after the demon spell and Tara’s sat on the bed reading one of her favourite books. It’s a romance novel. Before she met Willow just over a year ago she wasn’t much into the romantic stuff. She didn’t really see herself as the type. But as soon as she saw Willow at the Wicca meeting for the first time she knew it was meant to be and from there the hidden Romantic emerged.



She sighs a little as she reads the part, which reminds her of her Love.



I can’t wait for her to be back. Her classes take too long. Thinks Tara, just as she hears a knock on the door.

That’s weird; I’m not expecting anyone
?



She clambers off the bed and opens the door. There’s no one there or so she thinks. Slowly looking down she spots a baby wrapped in a white blanket.

Stunned, Tara doesn’t know what to do. So she just stands and stares at the baby. She then realises what she’s doing and knocks on the next-door down.



“Hi,” says Tara.

“Oh hi there, how you doing Tara?” asks the friendly looking girl.

“I’m okay, but did you see anyone drop off a baby about 5 minutes ago,” she asks pointing at the child.

The girl peers round the door and shrugs.

“Sorry I didn’t see anything. But it’s strange though. Do you know anyone with a baby, who could have dropped it off?”

“No, no one. Well thanks anyway. I’ll carry on asking around,”

“Oh say hi to Willow for me,” she smiles.

“Okay, thanks Lisa,”



This weird, but then again what isn’t in Sunnydale?



Tara cautiously picks up the baby and asks around a few more doors, but nothing.



The baby begins to cry after the forth door so Tara gives up. While quietly swaying the baby in her arms she goes back inside the dorm room. Glancing at the clock she is relieved that Willow will be home soon so they can sort this out.



“Hey there. Did you’re Mummy leave you here? Don’t worry we’ll find her,” smiles Tara as the baby gives her the cutest smile.



Just then Willow storms in the room, shuts the door and gives a pretty loud scream as she sees the scene in front of her.

“Oh my God you have a baby? You never told me you had a baby. Please don’t tell me you were pregnant and just gave birth. Cause that would be pretty impossible and you weren’t big and round!” gasps Willow pacing up and down the room fast.



“Willow, sweetie calm down. Breathe. It’s all right. Well I’m alright anyway,” she smiles at Willow’s dramatic gestures.

“It’s not all right you lied to me,” says Willow raising her voice a little.

The baby begins to cry again.

“Look Will I found it on our doorstep, so to speak. I was not pregnant. I have never been pregnant. Now calm down and sit over here,” she replies as she and the baby sit on the bed.

“O-okay then,”



Tara explains everything that has happened. All Willow can do is feel horrible. Horrible for the baby because it may have no home and horrible because she shouted at Tara and accused her of lying.



“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” says Willow almost in tears, “I didn’t want to say those things, it just came out. Just coming in and seeing you smiling at a baby which you’re holding in our room it was just…”



“Will, it’s okay now. We should be quiet we just got him to sleep and I’ll go and ring the police outside,” smiles Tara giving Willow a kiss.



The pair found out he was a boy after Willow asked what sex it was. Tara had totally forgotten to even check. There may have even been a note inside the blanket but no such hope.



Two hours after Tara had rung the police someone came to pick him up to see if they could find his home.



TBC..



Hope you liked? Feedback please?



Luv Hannah :luv

Oh! I'm curious about this fic.

I supose you will make some sort of excuse so the police make them keep the baby (for a while at last), then it really will be fun :D

Besides, if Will reaction to the baby was dramatic...what about Buffy and the rest of scoobies .

I can't wait to read more. keep it up

Re: Chapter Two

Postby musicmad10 » Wed Jan 19, 2005 9:03 am

Hello. Thank you for the replies, they are much appreciated.

Here is my new update!



Chapter Three – Please?



It’s been 3 weeks since the police took the baby away and there’s been no news. Willow and Tara just expect that means that he has found his parents and there are no worries.



But both Willow and Tara have a small gut feeling that’s not the case.



“I kinda miss him you know,” says Tara all of a sudden

“Who?”

“The baby,”

“You were only with him for like an hour or two,” states Willow as she mindlessly flicks through a gossip magazine.

“I know but, I can’t explain it I just liked him. There was something there,” she smiles.

“Well of course there was, I mean you found a baby all by it’s lonesome. You’re gonna feel sorry for him, I know I did,” says Willow stroking Tara’s back.

“But it’s more than that,”

The phone rings just at that moment and Willow picks up.

“Hello,”

“Hello it’s Officer Lowe. I’m ringing about the baby you found,”

“Oh hello, yes that’s us,”

“Well I have some bad news. You see this case is very strange,” he began

Willow decided Tara should hear this so she turned it on Loud so she could also hear.

“When we took the child in and tried to find its mother we started with all the hospitals in the area. But you see no one recognized him. And he isn’t that old so. Anyway we can’t find his Mum, she seems to be missing or something. I tell you something’s wrong but I can’t figure it out,”

“So why are you ringing us up?” asks Willow nervously.

“Well you see Miss, we were wondering if you or anyone you know would be a suitable parent for the child?”

“Oh whoa! Me? A Parent? I’m only 19!” shrieks Willow.



Tara grabs the phone from Willow’s hand.

“Can you bring him round later while we discuss this a little more?” she asks.

“Sure. Would 4 o’clock be okay?”

“Yeah I don’t see why not,”

“Okay thank you,” says Tara and puts down the phone.



“Are you insane? Or just mad? We are not having a kid! No way!” says Willow trying to stay calm.

“Look it’s a defenceless baby and it doesn’t have a home. We can’t just abandon it?” pleads Tara.

“Well not abandon, just send him to another family. One that’s a bit older and more mature and has married parents!”

“Will, we are mature. Fine we’re a little young, but I can’t give that baby up. Please at least try it for a month and see?” begs Tara.

“We’ll see. I’m not saying anything until I talk it through with the officer,” says Willow and slumps back down onto the bed and carries on reading her magazine.



4 o’clock came and just as planned Officer Lowe arrived with the baby.

“Hi come in. Oh he looks so cute!” smiles Tara at the baby.

“Have you decided on anything?” asks the officer.

“Well I know I would like too. But its just Willow I have to convince,”

“Willow? Who’s that?”

“My girlfriend,”

“Your g… Okay um, that’s different. I thought I’d be sending him to a female or a couple?”

“We are a couple and we are both female,”



The door opened and Willow appeared.

“And if you like officer I can always be butch and beat the crap out of yo…” Tara put her hand across Willow’s mouth before she could finish the sentence and get herself in trouble.

“Well okay then. That’s fine. I was just asking,” replies the officer a little wary of Willow.



“Have you decided yet? You know about him?” asks Tara carefully taking her hand off Willow’s mouth.

“Um yeah, why not. I’ll give it a go,”

“I love you!” grins Tara jumping at Willow and hugging her tightly.

“I hope so,” replies Willow also with a grin.



The three of them discussed what would happen and the situation with keeping him in the dorms. Thankfully the officer said he’d take care of it so they wouldn’t have to move out.

Willow and Tara are now left with the baby. The first thing Willow says is

“Buffy and Xander are never going to believe this!”

Postby musicmad10 » Thu Jan 27, 2005 3:08 pm

Thank you for the replies. Sorry for the long wait. I have finally done a new update, so i hope it makes up for the time.



Chapter Four – I Can’t Do This!



“I’m so glad Joyce had a pushchair just handy at such short notice, I mean it’s gotta be old but as long as it works I’m happy,” smiles Tara as she pushes Kevin down the road.

“Course we are,” replies Willow.

       

They decided to call the baby Kevin Maclay, as Tara was the one who found him. It was the day after they had gotten Kevin and they were shopping for baby supplies.

So far so good. The night went okay, with Kevin only crying a little. As they didn’t have a cot they put him in their bed for the night, which meant they couldn’t snuggle much just in case they woke him up.



“Right so we need to buy..” says Willow getting out her shopping list. “New Pram, Cot, Clothes for baby, Bottle (at least one) and food and stuff for the baby,”



They decide to go into ‘Mothercare’ first. Luckily for them they found everything they needed in the shop and a couple of extra things they just couldn’t resist. They put down that they wanted the bigger things delivered to the dorm that day. They forgot to mention the only reason it needed to be that day was so they could get there well earned snuggle time!



“I’ve got to go to class now, see you later sweetie,” says Tara reaching for the door.

“Whoa hang on. Aren’t you taking the baby?” asks Willow.

“Uh no, he can’t come with me to class silly. You’ll be fine, just give him a dummy or bottle if he cries. And if that doesn’t work he probably just wants cuddles,” she instructs.

“See you’re so much better at this than me, I’ll take you’re class if you look after Kevin?” begs Willow.

“Oh no, you’re looking after him. After all he’s your son too. And you’ve got to learn,”

“But..”

“Bye now. Have fun you two. And behave!” she smiles as she leaves the room.



Willow looks at Kevin laughing and squirming on the bed, and her heart warms.

“Right you and I are going to have so much fun! We’ll show Mummy we can behave!” she smiles at her son.



Two hours pass and Tara’s lessons have finished. As she walks from the classroom to her dorm room she wonders what on earth she is going to find. She is expecting a mess and maybe a very stressed and frantic Willow. But nothing awaits her for what she sees when she opens the door.



There is Willow fast asleep on the big chair in the corner of the room with Kevin lying in her arms desperately trying to reach the bottle Willow is holding in her hand.



As Tara looks at the pair, she’s so happy she’s almost in tears.



They look so adorable and poor Willow she’s so worn out.



“Hey sweetie. Have you tired your Mum out already? And oh dear you can’t reach you’re bottle. Let me see if I can help,”



As she reaches out for Kevin and tries to take him out of Willow’s arms she subconsciously holds onto him tighter.

“Okay that’s not going to work let me get the bottle at least,”

She manages to get the bottle easily and feeds Kevin.



After 5 minutes Willow opens her eyes slowly to the sound of whispering and a little wriggling feeling in her arms. She smiles as she listens secretly to the pair.



“You’re going to be so happy when all your stuff comes and you can lay in your new Cot and we can take you into the park in the sun and have all sorts of fun. You, me and your Mum,”



“That’s nice,” smiles Willow as she lifts her head to face Tara.

“You’re awake?”

“Just about,” she grins and gives Tara a kiss and then Kevin.



TBC....

Ahhhh!:heart

Chapter five

Postby musicmad10 » Sat Feb 05, 2005 3:24 pm

Thank you for the reply. Here is my next chapter!



Chapter Five – Happy Birthday



“Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday our Kevin. Happy Birthday to you!” sings the crowd.

Today is Kevin’s birthday and he’s going to be 3 years old. September 2nd was when he was found by Tara so as there wasn’t any record of him that’s his official birthday.



Willow and Tara wanted to make this birthday extra special, as it would be the first one he’d be able to really remember and take part in. He wanted to have a party in their local park.



The three of them had moved out of the dorm when he was 2 years old as Willow and Tara had finished their studies. They moved into a house in central Sunnydale where they were a 5-minute walk away from a large park with a playground.



They had invited the whole Scooby gang, Buffy, Xander, Giles, Joyce, Dawn and after some persuasion from Tara, Willow also invited Anya.



Kevin had wanted to bring his two best friends along too, which of course they said yes to. His friends where Tyler and Kimberley.



At the moment everyone was sat around eating the big chocolate birthday cake, which Kevin chose himself.

“This tastes good,” he smiles at Buffy with chocolate covering his mouth.

“It definitely does Kiddo!” she replies as she hungrily munches away too.



In a quiet place slightly away from the group Tara and Willow are sitting peacefully just spending some quality ‘partner time’.

“This is nice,” smiles Tara.

“Yep, I can agree with that. Sitting here under a lovely big tree with you and watching my friends and family enjoy themselves. This is the life,” sighs Willow blissfully.

“Totally,” Tara replies as she begins to tease Willow with her hands.

She moves them gently over Willow’s thigh and slightly inside her leg.

“What are you doing?” grins Willow, full well knowing what’s going on.

“Well I just though we could you know?”

Knowing just what she means Willow leans over and starts kissing Tara passionately.



“Hey! Hey they’re making out no fair! I want to have se…!”

“Anya! Kevin is sat just there!” hushes Xander.

“He’s 3 he won’t understand. And anyway how come we don’t get to you know, make out?” asks Anya.

“Because we are looking after Kevin. They don’t have as much time as us to, ‘make out’, so it’s okay,” he replies patting Anya on the back.

“I still say it’s unfair!” she grumbles to herself.

Chapter six

Postby musicmad10 » Sun Feb 13, 2005 1:51 pm

Chapter Six – Something Strange



“Okay now, Mum’s just going to go upstairs for a minute okay. Will you be okay to stay here and just watch TV?” asks Willow.

“I’m a Big Boy now I can do that!” Kevin says sticking out his chest.

“I know you are. Now be good,” she smiles and ruffles his hair a little with her hand and wonders upstairs.



'Oh it’s Scooby Doo! Yay!' Thinks Kevin.



Kevin is now 3 and a half and growing fast. He’s quite cleaver for his age and enjoys nothing more than running around playing soccer.



As he watches his programme he begins to think about how hungry he is, but he’s to tired at that moment to even walk to the table in front of him and get a biscuit. The more he wants the food the harder he seems to concentrate on the biscuits. All of a sudden he sees one of the biscuits floating in the air.

Kevin rubs his eyes to make sure he’s awake.

“Wow! I must have done that! Okay how to make it stop?”

Kevin then just stops thinking about it and it drops back into the bowl.



Willow then trots down the stairs and into the TV room.

“Hey, what’s up? Looks like you’ve seen a ghost?” she asks.

“Oh no, just saw one on the TV is all,” he says sitting back down.

“Okay, Scooby Doo, I see. Do you like scary programmes then?”

“I don’t get scared!” he pouts.

“Okay, okay just wondered,” she smiles putting her hands up like a surrender.



Kevin decided not to tell anyone about his special powers as he thought they’d ground him or think he’s weird.

During the next week or so he’d found out he had more than just a levitation power. He could click his fingers (or the best he could) and what he looks at will appear in his hand. Kevin can also read peoples minds, well sometimes anyway. He thinks this power especially is very helpful for knowing what his parent do and don’t want him to do so he cannot get into trouble as much.





TBC..



I hope you like it. I apologize for the short update, the next one will be longer. Feedback would be great! :laugh



luv Hannah
