WOW! This fic's getting better and better all the time! And that is kinda' hard to do, 'cause it already was like... SO GREAT!



I love all your work... darnit, wish I had the creativity and could write like that... Never saw it coming when Willow said she was pregnant! Very cool! I'm not an expert on fics or anything, but I know a piece of art when I see one... and this is definitely "Emmy-award-winning"-worthy! (someone please stop me before I totally go into worship-mode...)



Oh and DarkWiccan, I hate to quote Britney Spears now, but I just have to say it:

"I'm a slave for you"!!! Keep on Rockin'!

Here I am at work... when I should be working.. and I'm answering posts.



Oh well...



***KathleenWolf -- You're presence is always a pleasure. Yes, I am a huge fan of the cliffhanger.. as you will find...



***Capricornmist -- You know.. I have a great Dr. who could help you with that distended jaw ;) Thanks



***Rocktoddy -- Wow... an Emmy? Oh, wait a second.. it's a nice thought... but, lest we forget... I'm writing Buffy fiction... and Buffy never gets nominated for anything :grin Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.



Well, back to the slave trade...



Cheers

Update!!!

Postby DarkWiccan » Mon Jun 03, 2002 10:29 pm

here is the next part.



Be gentle on me.. this is my first attempt ever at writing a W/T love scene. I hope it doesn't suck.



_______________________



Later that night, after the Scoobies had disbanded agreeing to meet the next day to start researching, Tara and Willow once again sat alone in the safety of their bedroom at home.



“I don’t know whether to be grateful or cry”, Tara said softly as she brushed out her hair in front of the vanity. “I mean, yay good that Em’s not the slayer but now we’re faced with an even worse uncertainty.”



“I know what you mean”, Willow replied from the bed where she was reclined. “At least when we thought she was the slayer, we knew what that meant. We could prepare ourselves and her. But now…”



“Now we’re only left with more questions”, Tara finished, picking up where her lover had trailed off.



An uneasy silence filled the room for a moment before the blonde spoke again. “How are you feeling?”, she asked Willow carefully.



“Okay”, the redhead answered. “A little woozy. But I can’t tell if that’s from everything going on with Emily or from… the other thing.”



“Will, I know you’re scared”, Tara said, rising and moving to sit on the edge of the bed, taking her wife’s hand in her own. “But we have to talk about this. We don’t know where… I mean, you could be in real danger.”



“I don’t think so”, Willow answered thoughtfully. “I mean, I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I keep going back to that night.”



“What night?”



“Buffy’s birthday party”, Willow reminded her, “Two months ago.”



“I don’t understand”, Tara said plainly, her confusion written on her face.



“I think we made it”, the hacker tried to clarify, “I think we made this baby… that night.”



“I remember”, the blonde said, a smiling forming on her lips as she thought back. “But, darling, despite the fact that we were under the thrall of very powerful forces, we still didn’t cast that night. I’m sure you remember how involved a spell it was to create Emily. Weeks of preparation, not to mention the incantation itself requiring total focus and concentration. Neither of which we had that night.” Tara noted the concern on Willow’s face. “Not that it wasn’t amazing”, she added with a grin.



Willow smiled in return. “But, didn’t you feel it?”, she questioned. “That night. Didn’t you feel it? Something passed through us. From you to me. It was intense. It was the most connected and intimate moment I have ever experienced. Even compared to making Emily.” Willow caressed her own belly absentmindedly. Tara placed her hand on top of her lover’s and held it there.



“I think so”, the blonde said, as they both thought back to the night in question.



*****



“Open mine next! Open mine”, Emily squealed as she ran over to the slayer, dropping a small pink and blue wrapped box on her lap.



“I guess I’m opening Emily’s next”, Buffy chuckled as she picked up the small gift and examined it.



“She’s been dying all week to give that to you”, Tara said serenely from her place on the couch reclined in Willow’s arms.



“She picked it out herself”, Willow added proudly, kissing Tara lightly on the nose as the blonde turned her head to look up at her, smiling.



“I’m sure it’s perfect”, Buffy grinned, mussing Emily’s hair, “Thank you, munchkin.”



“Aren’t you going to open it”, Emily said, her lips forming into a small pout.



“Absolutely”, the slayer said, tearing into the wrapping paper and pulling out, “Tweezers.” Buffy announced, holding them at eye-level, her expression perplexed.



“For when you get splinters from the pointy sticks at work”, Emily explained, incredibly proud of herself. “You can get them out now.”



“Thank you, sweetie”, Buffy beamed, pulling the little girl in for a tight hug, “they’re wonderful.”



“Godmommy, I can’t breathe”, Emily grunted.



“Oh, sorry”, the slayer said, quickly releasing her. “Sometimes I forget my own strength.”



“Sometimes?” Willow questioned dryly from the couch.



“Hey now…” Buffy admonished.



Xander entered from the kitchen with a fresh bowl of potato chips. “So, Buff, any news on the new goat boy in town?”



“Xander, it’s Buffy’s birthday, I doubt she wants to think about how she’s shirking her duties and leaving us all in danger so that she can selfishly celebrate her own birth”, said Anya, busily bouncing Joseph on her knee.



“You know, if you hadn’t said all of that in baby-talk, I might just have been upset with you”, Buffy stated.



“Yeah, Ahn”, said Willow, “Buffy’s dealt with Kakistos type vamps before. She’ll stake him before he starts causing any real trouble.”



“Yeah”, Xander agreed, “And for whose benefit are you using the baby talk for anyway? Certainly not Joseph.”



“I don’t know”, Anya replied, a little blustered, “It’s an autonomic response to having small children present. Especially my own. I can’t help myself. Someone please stop me.”



“I think it’s cute”, offered Tara. “Anya, you’ll get used to your maternal nature eventually.”



“I’m sure by the time you’re bouncing Joe’s kids on your knee, you’ll have adapted just fine”, Willow teased, only to receive a warning slap on her thigh from Tara. “What?” Tara only gave her a reproving glare. Willow shrugged, “Sorry.”



Buffy made a deft attempt at changing the subject. “Hey, is anybody else getting a little warm? It seems kind of hot in here.”



“Now that you mention it”, said Xander, sitting on the floor next to his wife, “Degree, I think my body heat just turned it on.”



“We could open a window”, Willow offered. “Save on the electricity.”



“That sounds like a good idea”, Anya graciously concurred, “this shirt I’m wearing is polyester and you know how odors seem to cling.”



“I’ll just get the windows”, said Buffy, moving to do so. She crawled onto the unoccupied end of the couch and leaned over the windowsill, undoing the latch and lifting the lower frame open, letting the cool evening breeze drift in.



“That feels nice”, said Tara, shifting a little in Willow’s arms. The movement of her wife’s body against her own caused deliciously sensual feelings to suddenly spark to life inside the redhead. She purred delightfully into Tara’s ear.



“I don’t know”, Willow whispered teasingly to Tara, “I suddenly feel a whole lot hotter.”



“Vixen”, Tara softly replied, her lips forming a half-smile on her face.



“Xander!” Anya barked reproachfully at her husband, as she set Joseph down and signed, ‘Go play’.



“What?” Xander jumped as his son went over to Emily, who took Joseph’s hand to go upstairs.



“Mama, is it okay if Joseph and I go to my old room to play Candyland?” She asked.



“What?” Willow responded distractedly as Tara was discreetly massaging her inner thighs. “Oh… yeah… um sure. Don’t… um… let him get the… small pieces.”



“Okay”, her little girl replied. Quickly signing, ‘Come on’ she pulled Joe up the stairs.



“What?” Xander asked again.



“As if you don’t know”, Anya sniped.



Buffy turned around to see what the trouble was, and quickly turned away. “Uh, Xander, you want a pillow or something to…uh… cover…”



“Wha?” he began again, confused until he looked down between his legs. “OH!” He bent over trying to disguise his predicament. “Um…”



“That is only supposed to happen for me”, Anya berated him, “But it’s clear that this is a reaction to them!” She indicated the two women snuggling even closer together on the couch.



So close the even Buffy looked a little uncomfortable, “Uh, guys, don’t you think you two are being a little too…uh… demonstrative?”



“Us?” Questioned Willow, “What about those two?” She pointed back at Xander and Anya who were now engaged in a full on make-out session.



“Whoa!” The slayer cried out in an attempt to pull everyone to a halt. It didn’t work. “Hey! Is there a sign on my front door that says ‘Buffy’s House of Love’?” she asked exasperated, and a little frustrated. Although not with being unable to stop her friends strange behavior, but more because she didn’t have anyone to be “strange” with herself. She turned and stared out the window in a huff. “And who are the gorgeous hunks standing out on my front lawn wearing incredibly inappropriate yet sexy black leather pants?”



Anya looked up from her face-sucking competition with Xander long enough to see what the slayer was talking about. “Oh, that explains the sudden need to copulate”, she said matter-of-factly, “Greco Lust Demons. You might want to shut the window.”



“Can they get inside”, Buffy asked, and from her tone you wouldn’t have thought she’d have minded if they did.



“No”, the ex-demon answered, “It just stops them from being able to bombard us with their over-active musk glands.” Buffy instantly slammed the window shut. “Of course, it’s probably too late for us, we’ve already been given a pretty powerful dosage.”



“So”, Willow started, trying to speak despite Tara’s hand’s wonderfully torturous explorations. “So… what does that mean? Are we in danger?”



“It depends on… Xander, a little to the left… on who hired them and what they hired them for… okay, now a little to the right”, Anya illuminated, while giving her husband instructions.



Buffy was becoming more and more repressed by the moment. She needed some sort of outlet. “What’s the difference?”



“Well, if they’re just a distraction… we should be fine… they’ll hang around and keep us occupied until whoever hired them is done with whatever they’re doing.”



“And if their not a distraction”, the slayer pressed.



“Then they’ll stay out there hitting us with ‘lust bombs’ until it drives us into an orgiastic frenzy and we all drop dead from exhaustion.”



“But what a way to go”, Xander mumbled against Anya’s breasts.



“Those sexy bastards”, Buffy bit out, “I’m gonna go out there and kick their tight little hineys.”



“Well, too bad that’s all you can do”, Anya said wistfully.



“Why is that?” asked Tara breathlessly as Willow’s hands made a move under her shirt.



“They don’t have sex organs”, she explained, “just musk glands.”



This enraged the slayer no end. She yanked her jacket from off the hall table and barreled outside, slamming the door behind her as she ran at the demons yelling some sort of battle cry.



“What did she say?” Asked Xander, as he started to pull Anya closer.



“Something tease”, Tara answered, gasping as Willow nibbled on her neck.



“Uh… honey?” Willow said, swallowing to wet her dry throat.



“Yes?” Tara moaned.



“Room?”



“Oh, yes”, Tara agreed, her voice dropping to an even more seductive note.



Both girls rose from their positions simultaneously with Willow quickly taking Tara’s hand and pulling her up the stairs.



Before they could reach their old room at the end of the hall, Tara stopped them.



“Baby?” Willow asked, concern filling her voice.



“We should check on the kids”, Tara explained, slightly breathless from her arousal. “Make sure they aren’t being affected.”



“Um, baby, what could they possibly do?” Willow queried, “Emily is seven and Joseph is three.”



“He’s Xander’s son”, Tara stated.



“Good point”, the redhead agreed. They opened the door to what had been Emily’s old room, and Dawn’s before that. They found the two children playing with several board games at once. “Hey, Emily”, Willow said, “What are you doing?”



“We invented a new game”, Emily gleefully explained, “Hi-ho Candy-Ladders.”



Joseph nodded his head excitedly and made several rapid gestures with his hands.



“Sorry, Joey, didn’t catch that”, Tara said, too flushed to focus.



“He said we can teach you”, their daughter clarified.



“Oh”, Willow replied, “Emily, um, please tell Joseph that your mommy and I are very busy right now, but we’d love to learn sometime.”



“Okay, Mama”, Emily agreed, before turning and translating to Joseph. The boy’s shoulders slumped slightly in defeat.



“We’re going to be working in our old room with the door shut”, Tara explained, “Please don’t bother us unless it’s an emergency.”



“And knock first even if it is”, Willow added quickly.



“Yes”, Tara concurred, before remembering, “Oh! And don’t go downstairs. Stay in here.”



“Yes, Mommy”, she answered, her face showing a picture of confused compliance as her parents disappeared behind the other side of the door, shutting it tightly. She turned and looked at Joseph, who appeared equally perplexed and shrugging she signed, ‘Parents.’ The little boy rolled his eyes and nodded his head in vehement agreement.



Willow and Tara stumbled into their former room grasping at one another in an attempt to stay as close as possible. Willow kicked the door shut with the back of her foot, only to find herself slammed up against the smooth wood by her wife who instantly took Willow’s mouth into her own with a deep and impassioned kiss. The redhead tugged desperately at the buttons of Tara’s blouse fumbling to get them undone.



“Just tear it open”, Tara moaned into the kiss.



“I’ll ruin your shirt”, Willow gasped.



“I’ll get another one”, Tara replied in breathless anticipation, bringing her thigh between Willow’s legs and pressing up.



Willow didn’t need any more invitation, she ripped open the front of her lover’s blouse, sending the plastic buttons flying everywhere as she pushed the material off Tara’s shoulders and down her back. Tara dropped her arms to the sides to let the shirt fall the rest of the way off, before bringing her hands back to Willow’s waist and deftly undoing the button and zipper of her jeans in one motion, slipping her hand inside as she hungrily kissed her way down Willow’s neck and to her collarbone.



“Oh, baby”, Willow panted as she felt Tara press her fingers up against her soaked panties, teasing her center through the fabric. She raked her fingernails up Tara’s back, stopping to undo the clasp of her wife’s bra and pulling the straps down the blonde’s shoulders, freeing the creamy mounds that had been held captive.



“I want you on the bed”, Tara growled, withdrawing her hand from Willow’s pants and yanking the girl’s shirt up over her head and tossing it aside with her own bra. She smiled as two pert and rosy nipples looked back at her. “No bra?”



“I kinda had made plans to ravage you later”, Willow explained through excited breaths, “You know, after the party. Thought I’d create as few obstacles toward nakedness as possible.” She smiled her cute little Willow grin as a bead of sweat ran down off her forehead. Tara licked it away and the redhead shuddered in pleasure grabbing the waistband of Tara’s skirt and forcing it down and off along with Tara’s underwear.



Tara leaned in and captured Willow’s mouth in another kiss, teasing the other woman’s lips apart with her tongue, they drank in each other’s essence. Willow dug her nails into Tara’s ass, pulling her hips closer even as Tara hooked her thumbs into the sides of Willow’s jeans and panties, sliding them down until the two of them stood naked against each other, a puddle of clothes at their feet.



Willow broke away from the kiss to lick and suck at the blonde’s neck. “You said something about the bed?” She mumbled against her wife’s sweet tasting skin, now glowing with a light sheen of sweat.



“Yes”, Tara drawled out, walking backwards toward the bed and taking Willow with her, the redhead still tasting her neck. Using her bodyweight as a balance, she swung Willow around and onto the bed, landing beside her and instantly replacing her thigh between her partner’s legs, pressing firmly into the damp red curls.



Willow threw her head back in pleasure at the contact, arching her breasts against Tara’s. “God, I love you”, she breathed, wrapping her legs around Tara’s thigh and squeezing.



“Mmmm”, Tara moaned, “I love you, too.” She brought one of her hands up to massage Willow’s breasts as her lover dipped her head down and began to suckle at Tara’s own.



Tara slowly began to introduce a gentle rocking motion with her hips. Willow quickly responded. It was a dance they both knew quite well.



“Slow”, Willow sighed, keeping their movements controlled. “Keep it slow”, she continued, “I want to savor you. All of you.”



“I don’t think I will ever be able to get enough of you”, Tara groaned, nipping at Willow’s ear lobe. “You taste so good.”



“Not as good as you”, the redhead answered as she moved to another breast, taking the nipple between her teeth and biting gently.



“Willow…” Tara whispered through an intake of breath, then moaned a deep note causing Willow to shiver in pleasure. Tara drew her wife up into another incredibly passionate kiss, their tongues dueling and pressing against one another as their heads shifted from side in an effort to taste more, drink deeper.



The rocking of their hips continued as Tara shifted Willow onto her back, bringing her leg over to straddle her lover’s hip, she rhythmically began to grind down, pushing their centers together sending bolts of white hot electricity radiating through both of their bodies. Willow grasped Tara’s hips firmly as the blonde sat up and arched her back, her breasts straining outwards into the air. The redhead was completely mesmerized by her lover’s goddess like beauty as she pressed and moved against her core.



Willow brought her hips up to match her wife’s movements, her hands still holding Tara’s waist, anchoring her there. The redhead could only watch, captivated, as the blonde brought her head out of her arch and back up onto her shoulders, long tendrils of golden locks falling down about her shoulders and teasing her breasts as she looked down into Willow’s dark emerald eyes, her own having turned a deep sea blue, and staring deep enough, was able to catch a glimpse of her lover’s soul, holding it there.



Willow held Tara’s gaze, letting her soul mate keep her there as their hips bucked against one another bringing them, with that mere contact alone, to the brink of release. Tara moved to slide her fingers down into Willow’s folds, but the hacker stopped her, grabbing her hand. “No”, she said, their eyes still locked, “I want it like this.” She thrust her hips up a little more insistently. “Just like this.” Tara nodded and increased their pace with Willow moving to match her.



Willow released her lover’s fingers and used her now free hand to pull Tara down against her, never stopping their grinding motions, which had now become a little more frantic. Tara met Willow’s mouth again in yet another searing kiss, the redhead closing her eyes in satisfying response, as she dug her nails into Tara’s back, pulling her closer. A strange and wonderful electrical storm began to take shape and form between the blonde’s legs, building in her center, seeming to pull from every part of her being.



“Oh Goddess, Will”, Tara gasped at the powerful sensation, pulling out of the kiss and looking down at her love’s closed eyes. “Open your eyes…Will… look at me… I need to see your eyes.” Willow opened her beautiful green eyes and gazed into her wife’s blue pools.



Willow exhaled in wonder as she returned Tara’s intense gaze. “Your soul”, she breathed, “I can see your soul. I can feel it.”



“And I yours”, Tara returned her voice deep and airy.



With one last thrust of her hips downward, Tara sent the storm of electricity out from her center and into her lover’s body, the intensity of the orgasm causing Willow to arch her back hard up into Tara, her eyes nearly rolling back into her head. “Tara!” She cried out as she fell back. At that moment, Tara came again, hard, crying out Willow’s name as she collapsed on top of her wife, entirely spent.



“Willow”, she managed to whisper, brushing a few soft red hairs out of her lover’s face. “Are you okay?”



“I can feel you… inside me”, Willow whispered back, before slipping into an unconsciousness that Tara soon followed.



The next day they had awoken wrapped in each other’s arms on the bed. After getting up and checking on the children, who they found curled up asleep on opposite ends of Dawn’s bed, they went downstairs to see Anya and Xander asleep on the couch, covered only by a large afghan. They made their way into the kitchen where they found Buffy who told them that she had successfully destroyed the lust demons as well as “goat boy” who had hired the demons not only to distract the slayer and her pals, but also to lure “ten ‘ripe’ virgins” to his lair where he had planned on devouring them in a ritual that would have made him indestructible. In other words, the Gem of Amara, without the gem.



When asked to explain what she meant by ripe virgins, Buffy answered, “Horny teenage girls.” The two women only nodded in response. But the events of the night before lingered in their minds.



****



“Well”, Tara concluded after she and Willow had finished their walk down memory lane, “I think you’re right, Will. I think this baby is ours.” She paused as she watched the redhead relax some. “But it still doesn’t totally explain how or even why. And right now, the first thing we have to do is find out what is going on with Emily.”



Willow nodded silently before saying, “We’ll figure it out. We’ll figure everything out.”



Tara drew her lover into a gentle embrace, prior to drawing back and kissing her deeply.



Outside, unbeknownst to the two women, a mysterious cloaked figure gazed at their small house from afar.



“Don’t you realize”, the stranger spoke to the air, “That the two things are linked? Ah, well… soon enough.”

This vivid image in my mind of a horny Buffy really made me laugh all the way through... even when I got to the W/T smut I was all giggly... don't know why, my sense of humor is weird that way... I also thought the kiss in the Body was funny, so ya see? I'm weird...

Oh God, I really love the update... you just keep surprising me, don'tcha?

Well... good. I'm glad it didn't suck. I wrote this scene at my mother's house with her watching Harry Potter on the DVD *really* loud... so I was afraid that I'd suddenly have W/T getting down at Hogwarts in Hagrid's cabin... not that that wouldn't be amusing... just not right for this story...



***Bobos Mom -- There will most likely be more scenes of this nature later on



***Fairydust -- The next update should *begin* to clarify some of the mystery...



***LeatherQueen -- You know, I threw in those leather pants just for you, LQ. Even though they were on the demons and not the girls... maybe next time the girls. :grin But that was my little nod to you :)



***Rose24 -- Well of *course* I'm dragging things out! :grin How else would I keep you guys captivated?



***Thanatopsis -- It's okay, I just reread the update, and apparently I have lost the ability to type as well. (Mental note: Go back later and edit typos)



***Rocktoddy -- Well, as long as the laughing isn't a bad thing I guess that's okay. OH! You have a quote from No Matter in your sig! I have arrived!! Cool! Thanks!!



***Mollyig -- Yeah, the sequel thing is kindof weird to me because I used to have this mantra that sequels were evil self-indulgent things with no point... but then I was sitting in my office the other week and poof! there's the story to There You Are and I just had to start writing



***KathleenWolf -- Oh wow... your praise means so much to me... I like worship your and Beth's work (as I have mentioned before, but I really mean it. Wow!)



***Xita -- But are they *really* coincidences? hmmmm....



***Jennpurr -- Yes, "Poor Buffy" indeed... girl can never seem to get a break... destined to be a spinster slayer I'm afraid.



***Grimaldi -- Why, thank you :smile



Okay... working on the next part now... should be up tonight... I should warn you now, don't expect nightly updates to be too much of a regular thing as I am about to go into production with a show that I'm working on. The updates may slow down a little, but the story will go on!



Cheers

DarkWiccan: Great fic so far, I really like Emily, she seems like such a sweetheart. I finished reading "No matter where you go" yesterday, that was also great, I really loved how Willow and Tara were so natural as a family, it was really sweet to read. I'm very curious about Willow being pregnant and about what Emily is chosen for. I can't wait to read more.

Coupla quick responses:



***Jennpurr: It's a show that my production company (aka me) is producing for our summer season. "Three Viewings" by Jeffery Hatcher... it's a really excellent piece and we're looking forward to a large success with it.



***Lonewolf22: Yes, Emily is a love, isn't she... I may just have to have throw a tantrum just so no one starts to confuse her with an angel from heaven hee :grin



Update later...

Mini Update

Postby DarkWiccan » Tue Jun 04, 2002 7:00 pm

Okay.... so here I was clacking away at my keyboard when suddenly I came to screeching halt with the following realization, "Holy Underwear! I can't post this next section until I get my friend to do some translations for me!"



So, after much pondering and puzzling, I decided that rather than break my promise to have an update tonight, I would write myself to a stopping point and post what I had so far. Then I would send off the stuff I need translated and hope that my friend has them done by tomorrow evening so I can post the rest tomorrow night.



Sound fair? Excellent. Enjoy!



The next bit, Part "A"



___________________



“Emily! Breakfast”, Tara called out as she finished cracking another egg into the large bowl of batter in front of her.



It was Saturday morning, and in the Rosenberg-Maclay household, that meant one thing, pancakes and lots of them.



“Funny shapes! Funny shapes! Funny shapes!”, Emily chanted gleefully as she came bouncing into the kitchen.



“Funny shapes, huh?” Tara inquired playfully.



“Yeah”, Emily responded in anticipation.



“I think we can handle that”, her mother assured, turning back to stir the batter some more. “Drink some of your juice and the pancakes will be ready in a few minutes.” Tara indicated to a small stool near the counter and a plastic cup of orange juice waiting near by.



Emily hopped up onto the stool and began sipping at her juice. “Guess what I did in school yesterday”, she said.



“What?” Tara replied playing along as she turned on the burner under the frying pan.



“I made a collage for art”, the little girl declared, puffing her small chest out with pride while taking another drink.



“A collage? Really, of what?”



“Bunnies. Lots of bunnies”, Emily explained, “Mama said I should give it to Aunt Anya after Miss Henckle finishes grading it.”



“Your ‘Mama’ thought she was being cute”, the blonde replied, rolling her eyes, “You will do no such thing.”



“But…”



“When you get your collage back I want you to give it to me so I can put it on the fridge along with all your other pretty pictures, okay?”



“Okay”, Emily sighed, she really did want to give it to Aunt Anya. After all, Mama said that bunnies were her favorite. She took another drink of orange juice.



“Morning”, Willow said groggily as she entered the kitchen tying her robe over her pajamas. She moved over to where Tara was standing and embraced her from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. “Mmmm, morning”, she said again, nuzzling the blonde’s neck.



“Don’t get started with me”, Tara said, her tone one of teasing reproach, “You are in trouble, missy.”



“Me?” Willow questioned, lifting her head, “What did I do?”



“We’ll talk about it later”, she replied, continuing to stir the pancake batter in front of her. “Funny shapes or…”



Willow took one look at the vanilla colored mix and jumped back, cupping her hand over her mouth and racing out toward the bathroom.



“Oh, dear”, Tara exhaled, setting the bowl down on the counter and turning the burner off.



“What’s wrong with Mama”, Emily asked concerned.



“Mama isn’t feeling very well today.” Tara explained as she drew off her apron, “Drink your juice, I’ll be right back.”



Emily watched as her mommy disappeared down the corridor. “But I’m out of juice”, she grumbled to the air.



Tara found Willow on the floor of the bathroom, hugging the toilet as if it were her closest friend. She quickly dampened a wash cloth before kneeling down and gently pulling the redhead’s hair away from her face, placed the cool material on the back of Willow’s neck while soothingly stroking her back.



After a moment, the hacker stopped retching and leaned back away from the commode and against the tub. Tara continued her calming ministrations.



“Are you okay?” She asked after a moment.



“I don’t think I’m ready for this, Tara”, Willow answered, defeated.



“Ready for…”



“This!” The redhead barked, making a gesture with her hands that indicated her state on the floor. “All of it…” Tara simply waited for her wife to calm down enough to continue from where she had trailed off. “Don’t misunderstand me, Tara, please don’t. I mean, I want this baby, she’s ours, so far as we can tell, and even if for some reason she wasn’t, I’d still want her but…”



“But what?” Tara gently prodded.



“I don’t want to be pregnant”, she stated, her voice hollow, “and I keep thinking that I must be such a terrible person for feeling this way.” By now Willow had started to cry, streams of tears cascading down her face. “I know this must sound so stupid”, she continued, choking on her words, “but with us it’s always been that you’re the homemaker and I’m the provider. I know that’s a really oversimplified way of looking at our relationship…”



“Darling”, Tara whispered, pulling the redhead to her in a show of compassion.



“I feel so strange”, Willow continued on, her voice strained by her emotion, “The idea of having a life inside me is so foreign and scary. How did it feel for you with Emily?”



“It was scary at first”, the blonde answered, “but, the good kind of scary. Knowing that you and I had created this life that was growing inside of me was amazing and terrifying. But I remember feeling this warm calm feeling because it was you. It was you inside of me…”



“Then why don’t I feel calm?” Willow asked anxiously, “If it’s the other way around. If it’s you inside of me then why don’t I feel calm?”



“Maybe because I had been able to prepare for being pregnant with Emily and with you it’s been a complete surprise.” Tara offered, “Something you weren’t prepared for. Something neither of us were.”



“Or maybe because I never saw myself as having a baby in the first place”, the hacker commented, her tears starting to dry.



“Maybe”, Tara agreed. They stayed on the floor of the bathroom in silence for several long moments before Tara found the strength to add what they both feared as a possibility. “Or… maybe we need to find out for sure that this baby is ours.”



Willow swallowed a gulp and nodded her head seriously. “Any ideas?”



“Possibly”, Tara stated, “I think I may know of a couple of spells that can identify paternity.”



“Don’t you mean ‘maternity’”, Willow inquired.



Tara smiled sadly, taking the still damp washcloth from the redhead’s neck and using it to wipe away Willow’s still drying tears. “Will, you’re Emily’s father”, she illuminated gently, “in this case the term ‘paternity’ doesn’t apply to gender. Okay?”



Again Willow nodded and adjusted herself so that her head was resting on Tara’s lap. The blonde tenderly ran her fingers through red hair.



“Mommy?” Emily said softly, peeking her head to look into the bathroom. “Is Mama gonna be alright?”



“Oh, sweetie”, said Willow, sitting up a little and forcing a smile, “I’m fine. But a hug from you would make me even better.”



Emily tentatively stepped into the small tiled room, aware on some level that she had interrupted something important, but needing her parents’ assurance that nothing was wrong. She finally made it over to Willow’s side and leaned down to wrap her arms around her Mama’s neck when Willow grabbed her gently and drew her down into a tight hug, kissing the top of her head.



“I love you, baby-girl”, Willow said against her daughter’s hair.



“I love you too”, Emily answered softly. Then even more softly she called out, “Mommy?”



“Yes, baby?” Tara replied.



Again, keeping her voice as small as possible she asked, “Can we have pancakes now?”



Both women instantly burst out laughing at their daughter’s adorable request.



“Yes, sweetie, we can have pancakes”, Tara stated, rising to her feet and lifting Emily out of Willow’s arms and into her own. “Funny shapes, right?” Emily nodded an energetic affirmative. “Coming, Will?”



“Just let me brush my teeth”, said Willow, standing up.



Her wife and child left the bathroom leaving her alone. She turned to the sink and lifted her toothbrush out of its cradle, and started to put paste on it when she paused. She looked up into the mirror to find her reflection staring back at her. She stayed there, looking her self in the eye, not completely sure why, before snapping out of her reverie and proceeding on with the task at hand. Despite what she had said to her lover earlier, a haunting notion seemed to suddenly present itself in her mind. If this baby isn’t Tara’s, she thought, I don’t think I can go through with this…



She rinsed out her mouth and splashed some water on her face, her gaze returning to her image in the mirror, looking scared… and ashamed.

oooooooh wonders, this was great. Willow is so.. lol, i mean they do fall in those patterns but it's just cute watching her express it. And I can sort of understand her desire to not have it if it isn't Tara's, but I think generally she is just petrified of being pregnant.



Well, I'll try to wait patiently for updates now :)

Mini update Part Two!

Postby DarkWiccan » Tue Jun 04, 2002 9:31 pm

Hiya! Aren't you all just so glad to see me back again so soon? :grin



Anyhoo... my translator friend happened to be online and I was able to get the couple of words that I needed taken care of. So... with out further ado...



Mini Update Part Two! (hehe, I made a rhyme :) I'll answer all replies tomorrow) Cheers!

____________________________



Later that day at the Magic Box, the Scooby Gang had reconvened to begin going through the small store’s extensive library of books in an attempt to discover the mystery behind Emily’s sudden unknown status.



After several hours of nothing to show for their efforts, Giles finally suggested that Willow and Tara start researching their own family histories for connections to any ancient legends or prophecies.



Willow dove into the net on her laptop finding various genealogy sites and putting them to work sorting through her and Tara’s family names as far back as she could remember. Tara meanwhile was discreetly assembling the ingredients for the spell to determine whether or not she was the “paternal” half of Willow’s still unexplained pregnancy.



Although she could not deny the definite plausibility of the night of Buffy’s party being when the child was conceived, she also had to acknowledge that two women, no matter how caught up they are in the throes of passion, could not “accidentally” create a life. There were too many questions and not enough answers and Tara knew that her own upset was nowhere near the level of anxiety of her lover. Not to mention, she still hadn’t apologized to Willow for accusing her of using magicks behind her back, and that thought weighed heavily on her mind. In all honesty at this point, Tara would have rather that Willow had done something without permission, than face the uncertainty they were both now staring at.



“Anya”, Tara called to the ex-demon, requesting her presence away from the research table. Anya complied and joined Tara over by the counter.



“Yes?” Anya questioned, somehow instinctually knowing to keep her voice low.



“Where are you keeping the asphodyl these days”, Tara asked in a hush.



“Asphodyl?” The other woman said, a little perplexed. “What for.”



“A cleansing ritual.”



“But asphodyl isn’t used for cleansing”, Anya retorted.



“A protection spell, then”, Tara offered, wanting to avoid the direction of this conversation.



“It’s not good for that either”, Anya pressed on. “Generally it’s used with a combination of mandrake root to determine the sex of an unborn child... Or who the father is.” She added on after a thought. “Oh my God, Tara”, she gasped, clutching at the other girl’s arm, “Are you pregnant?” She had mouthed the last word, in case Willow wasn’t supposed to know.



“No, Anya, I’m not”, Tara assured her, “I just need some asphodyl for…a spell. Do you have any?”



The ex-demon narrowed her eyes at the blonde momentarily before answering, “Yes, it’s over by the dragon’s blood.”



“Thank you.” Tara went over to the shelf stocked with herbs fully aware that Anya had kept her gaze locked on her as she searched out what she was looking for.



Next to Willow at the research table, Buffy tossed another unhelpful book onto the growing pile.



“Buffy, do be careful”, chided Giles, “several of these texts are over five hundred years old. Not to mention from my private collection.”



“Sorry, Giles”, Buffy apologized, “just starting to get a little frustrated.” The slayer moved to twist her back in a stretch, her sight landing on her best friend who was clacking away on her keyboard, and looking a little green around the gills.



Willow was doing her best to ignore her lingering nausea, occasionally wiping her hand across her brow, absorbing the light sweat that had formed there.



“Hey, Will, you okay?” Buffy asked, “You’re looking a little seasick.”



“I’m fine”, she answered, trying to sound perky, and failing miserably.



“Are you feeling bad again, Mama?” Emily inquired from her place on the floor where she and Joseph had been playing “Slap-Hands-Charlie”. Emily had been letting the small boy win, and as a result the tops of her hands were turning a bright red.



“Again”, Buffy said with alarm, “What does she mean ‘again’?”



“It’s nothing”, the redhead guaranteed, “stomach thing. I’m fine.”



“Are you sure? I could run to the store and get you something?”



“It’s fine. Thank you, Buffy.”



“It’s probably all the stress”, Xander offered from the other side of the table. “I know if it were Joseph, I’d be having a hard time keeping anything down too.”



“Will, it’ll be okay”, Buffy soothed, “We’ll figure this out. Who knows, maybe Emily’s the Chosen Interior Decorator. She alone who can stop the increasingly scary use of chintz in modern homes.”



“I don’t know, Buff”, Willow chuckled, “between Slayer and Interior Decorator, I’m leaning heavily toward slayer.” Just then the laptop beeped, recalling Willow’s attention. “Dammit!” She said rapidly pounding on the keys.



“What’s wrong?” Giles queried.



“Well, I’ve managed to trace my lineage as far back as the Jews of ancient Egypt”, she sighed, “But with Tara I keep getting stuck at around 811-ish A.D. somewhere in the British Isles.”



Giles brow furrowed in recognition, “That’s around the same time as the Arthurian Legend. Anya…” He called over to the former demon still standing by the cash register. “I had several books in Olde English and Gaelic expounding on the prophecies of King Arthur’s time. Do you recall where you saw them during your last inventory?”



“I think so”, Anya replied, moving toward the office, “Maybe in the back?”



“Don’t bother”, a new, heavily Irish-accented voice said from the front of the store, “I’m sure I can answer any questions you may have. After all, I was there.”



Everyone looked up to see a beautiful woman in a dark green velvet cloak standing by the front entrance. The hood of the cloak was down, revealing the woman’s light-brown hair, decorated with several small braids in which different colored ribbons had been woven for embellishment. In the center of her forehead near her hairline was a small tattoo of a half-moon pointed upwards so that is looked almost like a tiny bowl. She had piercing blue eyes like the waters of the Gulf and her smile had a warm and calming quality. But still she was mysterious, and mystery to the Scoobies equaled danger.



“Who are you”, Giles asked, rising from his seat.



“My name is Ghaena Faoilteach”, she explained, “the last of the priestesses of Avalon.” Her gaze shifted to where Emily watched from the floor. “Until her.”
