Hi there! I'm not sure if you remember my post from many moons ago, but just wanted to let you know that I am still here appreciating your Fic above all others on this site.

As I mentioned before, I have a little daughter (Hadley) and can appreciate all comments and actions little ones can make. Well, most of the time I appreciate them!

Just want to share a big piece of me that I have not been able to share with anyone. The fact is that I am with a man because of my daughter yet can not bring myself to ever experience the love of another woman. I just want you to know that through stories like these, I am able to fill a big gap in my life. For this, I truly thank you.

I hope your medical set-back is not too serious, please picture all us kittys holding your hand through it.

God bless.

Hey Holly

Just wanted to say that i hope you will be better soon and i bet all the kitties are thinking of you!

Im just gonna wait right here till you get back!

hi to everyone on the board!

This fic is brilliant, ive wanted to post my feelings for this fic for a long time but it just ends up saying the same as everyone elses but it is truly an amazing story with just the right amount of angst and plenty of the W/T cuteness that we all know and love

Still have to hand it to you, very special moments between the family that is building. I mean, all of them, family. And you always wondered why everyone was so interested in this fic. Because everything you say, everything you feel or write down, it comes from within you, from within your heart. You, sweetie, have to keep it up.



Heading to Edmonton on Monday, for surgery must be pretty hard on you right now. Sorry Oddy and I can't be there to help you through this, but you were always the strong one and I know things will be and go okay. Sending our love to you and your family. Get well soon, (and no racing down those halls in wheelchairs, you speed demon you). Plus, you have your girl to keep your mind occupied, very nice thoughts I assume, she'll keep you and your heart safe, I know it. *grins* Lucky girl she is.



Sending Oddy's love.

Kittens; Here I am, running around, getting everything packed for my early trip tomorrow. And what a long week this is going to be. So, here is a very very short update, it ends in somewhat of a cliffhanger, and I’m sorry about that. I’ll be back in no time. Everyone have a safe and happy week. Enjoy!

Summary: Willow is one of the hottest models in the world. When she comes home for her holiday, she meets a nice family that is new to Sunnydale. Can she find love, and continue her much loved career? This is an AU fic. There will be a little angst between some characters, but nothing big for I want to keep the angst issue light. Thoughts are in < >



~Part 31b~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~



“Tori, open the door.” Tara said knocking on the bedroom door.



Tori opened the door and smiled at the two blondes facing her. “Tara, Buffy, hey.”



“Why’d you sneak up here?” Tara asked crossing her arms.



“Because it was getting a little boring down there. After we helped Hadley with her song we figured we’d come up here and get some alone time.” Tori shrugged a bit.



Dawn came up behind her girlfriend. “Buffy, Tara, what brings you two up here?”



“Like you don’t know.” Buffy raised an eyebrow.



Tori and Dawn looked at each other, “Uh, no, we don’t….” Dawn frowned a bit.



“Ok, don’t you begin to be smart with me young lady.” Buffy warned, letting a slight smile curl at her lips so her sister would know she wasn’t being to harsh.



“Why don’t we all head downstairs and have a happy fun night with the rest of the gang.” Tara nodded smiling.



“Please, it’s boring down there. Anya is talking about her sex life again like we want to hear all of that again.” Dawn partially whined.



“And the harm in that is? I mean, it’s not like she’s telling a five year old face to face about ecstasy and making one happy.” Buffy raised an eyebrow.



“What?” Tori shook her head. “Of course not, who would talk to Had… HADLEY!” Tori rushed past her girlfriend, Tara and Buffy. “I can’t believe that little brat.” She mumbled.



Hadley’s head spun around towards the staircase, hearing her Aunt stomp down the stairs. The little girl moved her body as fast as she could and jumped behind Faith on the couch. “Hide me.” She squealed. “Don’t let her know where I am.” She tried to scrunch her body up as small as she could.



“Hadley Maria!” Tori walked into the living room where the rest of the gang sat, looking back at her. “Ok, where is she?”



“Tori, calm down, what’s wrong?” Willow asked walking over to the brunette.



“Hadley doesn’t hold anything back, that’s what’s wrong.” Tori looked around corners.



“Tor, sweetie,” Dawn came up to her. “She’s only five, you can’t expect her too always keep her mouth shut. She’s gonna talk because she doesn’t know what she’s doing wrong.” Dawn laced her fingers into Tori’s, squeezing lightly.



Tori let out a long sigh. “I know, I’m sorry.”



“Why are you all with the burst out anyways?” Faith asked curiously. “Did Tara and B ruin your fun?” She smirked. “I mean, you two weren’t…you know, giving, what’s the word…oh right, estasy.”



A small giggle came from behind the dark haired slayer. “Estasy..hehe.”



“Hadley, come out from there.” Tori said calmly.



“No.” A light muffled sound came from behind Faith.



“I know you’re behind Faith, just come out.” Tori tried again.



“Don’t wanna.” Hadley peeked her head over Faith’s shoulder, resting her small chin there.



Willow came up beside Tara and wrapped her arm around the blonde’s waist, kissing her lightly on the cheek. “Gotta love that little girl.” Willow whispered into Tara’s ear.



“Oh yes, I do very much.” Tara grinned at her lover. Brushing her lips over the red heads, she whispered very quietly against the soft flesh, “Our little girl.”



Willow’s heart did a thousand flips, opening her eyes wide as she saw the love of the blonde pour into her. Their gaze held for what seemed like forever. Licking her lips, she moved her head so their mouths were only a breath away, taking a deep breath she whispered, “Our daughter.” She felt Tara’s lips instantly capture hers in a slow, deep kiss.



Hadley focused on her ‘parents’ and grinned when she saw them all happy and smiling and kissing. She turned her gaze towards her Aunt and Dawn; suddenly wishing they had what her Mama and Willow have. Slowly making her way out from behind Faith, she jumped off the couch and made her way to Tori. Tugging on her Aunt’s pant leg, she waited until Tori picked her up, she flinched a bit, not knowing what reaction to expect from Aunt Tori. “I’m sorry.” She whispered softly. “Did I ruin your fun?” She asked.



Tori shook her head grinning, “No sweetie, Dawn and I were just sneaking away for a while to…”



“Do that?” Hadley asked pointing to her Mama and Willow, who were locked in a tight embrace.

*Sigh* such a wonderfully warm and loving update. Just so damned cute. I've been catching up on my fics and it seems the season of loving is all around judging by updates.



So I thank you for aiding in me going to bed at the end of 'Valenties Weekend' (why stop at just a day I say ) with a warm heart and smile.

Thanks so much for the updates, best wishes.

~ Jen

I'd like to take a moment to talk about something that's happened lately. I'm also in love. It's a very special thing and I'm really rather proud of it. Yes, I'm in love with my own breasts. I feel no personal shame about this; in fact, I think this is the one. It's going to last. ~ Ruth

[JustSkipIt]

Hi Holly,

I hope everything goes well and you feel ok soon. This update is just plain Awwww. So cute and Hadley's "ours". Tee hee. Love it. Debra

Ok,

Just heard from my baby herself...she's doing fine but in a bit of pain and should actually be out of the hospital by tomorrow. My stupid ughy cell phone cut off on her *throws it across the room* buuut, she *is* doing fine

It is really painful for her to talk right now since they went in near the diaphragm..thats also making it a bit painful to breathe deeply. She is going to try and call people but please understand that it is a bit painful to do so right now and she may not be able to. Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers,they mean a lot to the both of us. Annnd i'll wrap this up before Xita smacks me



Cindi

[eccentrictulip]
