~Part 46c~~*~*~*~*~*~
“Dawn, our song is on.” Tori came up to Dawn, who was standing with some friends talking.
Dawn smiled and took Tori’s hand as they walked out onto the dance floor. Alison Krauss’ song was playing. “When You Say Nothing At All.”
“I had this dream,” Tori began to dance with Dawn, her arms wrapped around her waist firmly. “I was sitting in Chem class, with this other girl who appeared to be my lab partner, when you surprised me with balloons, wearing this cowgirl outfit.”
Dawn had an amused look on her face. “Oh yea? What were the balloons for?”
“I have no idea, but even in my weirdest and funniest dreams, you are always with me.” Tori whispered, closing her eyes. “And when I have nightmares, it’s you who fights away all the bad demons. You are my hero in my dreams.”
Dawn blinked back a few tears and leaned in closer, listening to the lyrics from the singer’s smooth voice. She thought back to the day when Tori sang to her in the parking lot. “Tori?”
“Hmm?” Tori murmured, stroking Dawn’s back gently.
Dawn pressed her lips to Tori’s ear and whispered. “I’m so in love with you.”
Tori smiled and brushed loose hair from Dawn’s beautiful face. “I know.”
“Look at everyone minding their own business.” Dawn watched the couples dance, all of which were female/male couples.
“Good, they should. They have nothing to see here, just two girlfriends who are absolutely in love with each other, dancing to their song.” Tori moved in time with Dawn, as they swayed to the soft melodic music.
“How did I ever become so lucky?” Dawn’s eyes shined.
“Remind me to thank your parents.” Tori chuckled quietly. “For having the most gorgeous daughter enter into this world.”
“Well I’ll also pass this news on to Buffy and let her know what you think of her.” Dawn sighed dramatically.
“Dawn,” Tori cupped Dawn’s face and brushed her lips over her girlfriend’s. “Only you, okay? Only ever you.”
Dawn nodded slowly and closed her eyes, allowing the lyrics and the memories of Tori singing this song to her, wash over her and shower her with a love that she never knew existed.
The smile on your face let’s me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

“Three horses!” Hadley smiled and hopped out of the car, behind her mama.
“Three, yes.” Tara smiled and took her daughters hand as they reached the porch. “Mommy sure knows how to make a woman feel loved.”
“And a girl!” Hadley turned around and waited for Willow to finish locking up the doors. “I can’t wait until you and mommy get married.”
Tara smiled and sat on the porch step, grabbing Hadley to sit on her lap. Watching as Willow approached them, Tara nuzzled the back of Hadley’s neck. “Me neither.”
Willow noticed the Maclay ladies had similar smiles plastered on their faces. “What?” She asked.
“Nothing.” Hadley said quickly.
“Oh no, those aren’t ‘nothing’ smirks, what’s up?” The red head sat down and laced her fingers with Tara.
“Seriously honey, nothing.” Tara raised an eyebrow and grinned. “We’re just having a-”
“Nothing.” Hadley said again and looked at her mama.
“Right, a nothing moment.” Tara replied.
“I don’t believe you, but because I’m getting a little chilly and want to go inside, I’ll let it slide.” Willow smiled and stood up, waiting for Tara and Hadley to follow.
“Can I have a bath?” Hadley asked, stepping inside the warm house. “With my toys?”
“Sounds like I good idea.” Tara smiled and kissed Hadley on the forehead. “Why don’t you pick out your jammies and which bath toys you want and I’ll get the water going.”
“Okay!” Hadley took off her shoes and bolted for the stairs.
Tara shook her head and felt Willow’s arms wrap around her waist from behind. “Mmm, looks like someone will be swimming tonight, at least.” She smirked as she fell back into Willow’s embrace.
Hot breath washed across Tara’s neck as Willow whispered, “Oh trust me love, you have plenty to dive into.”
“Oh Goddess.” Tara breathed. “Promise?” She purred.
“Absolutely.” Willow mumbled, nipping at Tara’s neck. “Now go and get our daughter’s bath going, I’ll make us some tea.”
“O-Okay.” Tara whimpered when Willow pulled back and kissed her cheek. Sighing heavily, the blonde made her way to the downstairs washroom and started to draw the bath.
“Mama?” Hadley was downstairs with jammies in hand and one toy she wanted to play with. She sat down on the edge of the tub and looked up at her mama with big blue eyes.
“What is it sweetie?”
“Are you mad that mommy gave us a farm?”
Tara’s eyebrows rose up slightly and frowned. “No baby, why would I be mad?”
“Because you didn’t seem all that excited about it.” Hadley whispered.
Tara smiled and felt the water temperature before shutting off the tap. “Sweetie, I am very happy about the farm, the land, the horses and the future we get to spend there. I was in shock.”
“Why?” Hadley questioned.
“Well, it’s not everyday you have your dreams come true.” Tara softly spoke. “I have the most beautiful daughter in the world. I have the most wonderful sister, a gorgeous and loveable woman who loves me and we’re going to get married, plus I have the childhood memories bounce back to life.”
“When you and mommy have another baby, I won’t be the most beautiful daughter anymore.” Hadley smiled. “Because the baby will have her turn to shine and feel and be beautiful.”
Tara eyed up her daughter before smirking. “Planning on having a little sister are we?”
“Or brother, but since you and mommy are girls, I hope that we have another girl added to the family.” Hadley shrugged. “What if Anya and Xander have a boy?”
“Then Xander won’t feel so left out.” Willow snickered as she set down a teacup on the sink for Tara. “I just want a healthy baby.”
“You want a baby?” Tara and Hadley asked at the same time.
“A healthy one.” Willow confirmed. “And yes, I would love to have children, but only with a certain blonde gorgeous Goddess.”
“Oh! Mama is a certain blonde gorgeous Goddess!” Hadley clapped her hands and grinned, looking up at her parents. “What?” She noticed them looking back at her with amused faces. “Fine, laugh at the cute one.”
Tara and Willow snickered. “You’re so adorable.”
Willow took the jammies from Hadley and placed them on the counter. “I’m going to start the fire.” She kissed Tara softly, sucking in the full plush bottom lip into her mouth, running her tongue along it before pulling back and winking. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Both Hadley and Tara sighed and continued to get things ready for the little girl’s bath.

Buffy sat on the mats, in the training room of the Magic Box, watching as Faith kicked the punching bag and moved with grace. She watched as the brunette’s muscles flexed with every tiny movement. Taking a deep breath, she looked at her hand where Faith’s ring was placed. “Faith?”
Grabbing the punching bag to stop it from swinging back and forth, Faith wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and turned towards her girlfriend. “Yea?”
“This ring, how much does it mean to you?”
Faith let go of the bag and took off her hand wrappings, sitting beside the petite blonde. “My Grandmother gave that to me, it was in the family for as long as her mother could remember.” She frowned. “Why? You don’t want to wear it anymore?”
“Oh no Faith, I was just curious. I just…I just can’t believe you gave it to me, knowing how much it means to you, to your family.” Buffy shrugged.
“Then clearly you don’t realize how much you mean to me, B.” Faith scooted closer. “If this is about you thinking I’m about to take off anytime soon, you’re absolutely wrong. I’m so not going anywhere,” The brunette leaned forward and pressed her lips to Buffy’s ear, “without you.” She whispered.
Buffy turned her head and looked into soft brown eyes. “Really?”
“God yes, Buffy.” Faith turned herself completely towards her girlfriend, so she was facing her. Getting on her knees, she took Buffy’s head and started to lower her onto the mats. “It was hell out there without you, no matter how stubborn I got, how I get, there was not a moment of the day that went by without me thinking of you. And the more time I’m home, with you, I have to fight to remember why I left in the first place. You have to believe me on how sorry I am.”
Buffy stretched out beneath Faith, their bodies pressed together. She watched Faith’s lips move, the way her voice was so gentle and soft. Reaching her hands up, she tucked strands of dark hair behind Faith’s ears. “I believe you.” She swallowed.
“No more questions.” Faith murmured, pressing her lips to Buffy throat, placing soft gentle kisses there.
“No more.” Buffy whispered.
Moving her mouth up Buffy’s jaw line, Faith let her tongue make small trails in it’s wake, finally settling by the blonde’s ear. Nuzzling and taking in Buffy’s sweet scent, Faith sighed heavily. “I’m in love with you, Buffy.” She whispered, pulling back she looked at the girl beneath her.
Buffy licked her lips and moved her hands up and down her girlfriend’s back. “Oh Faith.” She breathed, cupping the back of Faith’s neck and kissed her with such love and passion, no words could even describe the feelings they were now sharing. They both knew that they finally passed the last hurdle in their relationship, now all they had was time. Forever.

“Hadley’s sleeping…and peacefully I might add.” Tara whispered, climbing into Willow’s embrace in front of the fire.
“Really?” Willow sighed as Tara’s mouth made liquid trails along her neck.
“Mmmhmm.” Tara mumbled, lapping lightly at the creamy pale neck. “I’ve missed you Will.” She whispered, her eyes a dark shade of blue, her eye lids heavy.
“I’ve missed you too, baby.” Willow pulled Tara to her lips and kissed her deeply. “I want to swim now.” She watched as Tara sat up and slowly tossed her shirt to the side. “Um, Tare? Shouldn’t we move this to the room?”
“Nope.” Tara unzipped her skirt and peeled it off. “Here is fine.” Her voice was low and husky. “In front of the fire.”
“But-”
“We’re fine.” Tara said more firmly, pressing her now, nude body up against Willow’s clothed body. “Hadley is sleeping, Brady is sleeping, Tori and Dawn have a few more hours until they return and I doubt Faith, Buffy, Xander and Anya are gonna stop by.”
“I…uh…” Willow’s fingertips traced patterns up and down Tara’s naked back, smiling every time the blonde would take in a sharp breath. “You sure?”
“Willow Rosenberg,” Tara started as she undressed her fiancée, “Please don’t make me beg, I want to make love with you…” She pushed Willow on her back, who landed on soft pillows. “And I want to make love with you now.” She purred.
They kissed and rolled around the pillows, giggling softly as they caressed and touched sensitive spots. Whispering sweet nothings and moaning out light and soft sighs of appreciation.
Taking on the role to get things further, Tara held Willow’s hands above her head and slipped her thigh between the red head’s. “I want to go slow, can we?” She asked.
Nodding, Willow kissed Tara gently, lifting her knee to give her love more leverage. They began a slow rocking motion, bathing each other’s thighs with their sweet essence. Resting her forehead against Willow’s, Tara brushed her lips across the red head’s so softly, sharing each other’s breath.
Blonde hair curtained around them, blue eyes met green ones and smiles appeared on their faces. Tara moved her head to nuzzle Willow’s neck, biting the flesh softly.
“Oh Gods.” Willow’s body shuddered when she felt Tara bite and suck on her pulse point, she shuddered again when hands moved across her sides to cup her breasts. “Tara-” She sighed as Tara’s body slid down slightly.
Tara’s hands cupped Willow’s breasts perfectly, she felt the hard nipples tickling her palms, feeling the soft tissue underneath each flex as she massaged them. Her mouth moved to the swell of Willow’s breasts, her warm tongue peeking out for tastes.
Willow arched her back when Tara wrapped her hot mouth over her nipple. Tara’s tongue circled the hard nub a few times before taking it captive and suckling it gently, at first. The red head cried out as Tara sucked harder, pressing her wet center into Willow’s thigh, trying to relieve some of her aching want.
Tara let go of Willow-nipple and moved back up her body. “Willow, I need you.” She growled, flipping them over so she was now flat on her back.
“I, what about slow?” Panted Willow, turned on more than ever. Her clit throbbed with anticipation, her body swirled with desire.
“Please?” Tara breathed, cupping Willow’s hips and pulling her up along her chest.
“Tara?” Willow frowned as she felt her body being moved, she wasn’t quite sure what the blonde wanted, but she allowed her body to be led wherever Tara needed her, she trusted her love, no words were needed to confirm that.
“I-” Tara huskily moaned as she had Willow right where she wanted her. “Turn around.” She softly commanded.
Willow turned around, she was kneeling above Tara’s face, even though her knees were weak and wobbly, she managed to keep herself up until Tara said otherwise.
“I want you, and I need you.” Tara nodded south and looked back up with Willow, with very heavy lidded eyes.
“Oh Tara.” Groaned Willow. She kneeled above Tara, on her hands and knees, so her face was now right in front of the most delicious treat ever. Breathing in deeply, Willow moaned quietly to herself, “Heaven.”
Tara grabbed Willow ass and pulled her down at the same she craned her neck. Moaning loudly into Willow’s hot flesh, she licked the wetness.
Willow held back a near scream as Tara licked her. A little worried about being to much weight or pushing too hard, Willow let her leg muscles tense as she leaned forward and placed a kiss on Tara’s mound, before diving into the wetness that awaited her.
Stretching her tongue, Tara felt and tasted the slick hot walls of Willow. She felt the smoothness of them clutching around her tongue, trying to pull her in deeper. Her hands braced Willow as they moved in a perfect motion. Holding her tongue in for a brief second, she felt Willow do the same. “Mmmm.” She groaned.
Their bodies moved quicker and moans and groans filled the air as the fire crackled in front of the two women. Neither woman had noticed that every time their bodies would shake or shudder, the fire grew more intense, and the ring on Tara’s finger, glowed.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“I’m so glad we moved this to the room when we did.” Willow smiled, leaning back on the headboard.
“I swear I didn’t know Anya would come over looking for onions and peanut butter.” Tara sighed and curled up along the red head. “Don’t blame the woman though, she’s pregnant, she needs her cravings.”
“Yea.” Willow stroked Tara’s hair. “Your hair is so soft.” She said dreamily.
“So is yours.” Tara grinned and looked up at Willow. “About earlier, downstairs…I’m sorry I was, um, a little demanding.”
“Why sorry?” Willow smiled. “Tara, I’d do anything for you, especially when I get to drink from you at the same time you get to drink from me.” She let out a quirky grin.
“You nut.” Tara giggled and nuzzled her face in Willow’s neck. “I loved the way your tongue danced inside me.” She whispered.
“It was like swimming in a warm hot spring, only more fun and tastier.” Willow chuckled, moving her hands down Tara’s silky back.
“Willow.” Tara moaned, she felt her body awakening again, with the small patterns Willow’s nails drew on her sensitive back. “Ah,” She sighed. “When your tongue swirled around inside of me, I chose that time to tackle your clit.”
Willow could fell the heat radiating off their bodies, she could feel the place between her legs start to gather moisture and grow more wet. “Made me lose my rhythm I had going.” She chuckled throatily.
“That was the idea.” Tara grinned and moved her body so she was laying on top of the red head. They both sighed gratefully at the skin on skin contact. “How wet are you now?” She murmured, playing with Willow’s pebbled rock nipple with her finger tip.
“Oh very.” Breathed Willow.
“Really?” Tara smiled coyly, her hand making it’s way down the red head’s firm stomach.
“Oh yes…” Willow moaned. “Re-ah-lly.” She gasped as fingers circled her clitoris.
“I can feel.” Tara nibbled on Willow’s earlobe.
“Feeling is good.”
“Very.” Purred Tara, sliding her hand lower, tracing Willow’s wet opening with just the tips of her fingers. “You feel so good wrapped around my fingers, Willow.” She murmured slipping two fingers inside her lover, sighing as the muscles immediately grasped them.
“Oh!” Willow arched her back and moved her hips slowly, helping Tara build the rhythm. Her hands clutched at Tara’s shoulders.
“Wrap your legs around me.” Tara whispered hoarsely, she groaned when Willow complied and she felt her questing fingers probe deeper.
Willow’s head rolled back and she gasped for air. Tara was planting soft loving kisses on her neck and collarbone, as her fingers moved in and out at a slow pace.
“My everything.” Tara murmured, slowly starting to shift her hips against the thigh she straddled.
“Oh Tara.” Willow’s voice quivered with desire, she grabbed the back of Tara’s head and gently guided their lips together.
With Tara’s free hand, she trailed it up Willow’s right arm, taking her hand and spaying their joined hands above Willow’s head. Fingers laced, bodies moving in perfect harmony, tongues dancing in perfect bliss.
Tara finally pressed her thumb against Willow’s erect nub, moaning into Willow’s mouth as the red head’s legs squeezed her hips and the inner walls squeezed her fingers.
“Tara!” Willow’s orgasm ripped through her torturously slow, her hand that was laced with Tara’s, held on firmly. She felt the heat rise within her and explode in her body. Then she felt a sense of calmness when Tara took things slow, loving her, being gentle, caring. She could feel Tara inside her body, exploring the red head’s desires herself. Reaching her heart, her soul, her every being.
“Shh.” Tara cooed. She wrapped her arms around the red head, their sweat soaked bodies fitting perfectly together. “I love you.” She whispered, placing her hand over Willow’s heaving chest, feeling the heartbeat beneath her palm.
Willow sighed peacefully, she frowned a bit when something hard and quite warm touch her heart. “What is that?” She asked softly. “Doesn’t that burn your finger?” Willow asked concerned. “Tara?”
“No sweetie.” Tara nuzzled Willow behind her ear, looking down at her left hand where her ring had a faint glow to it.
“I knew I should’ve bought you a normal ring. Damn, what were you thinking Rosenberg!” Willow groaned and smacked herself in the head.
“Hey.” Scowled Tara. “No hitting yourself. Willow, I love the ring.”
“I know, but…it’s all glowing.” Willow held Tara’s hand and inspected the ring.
“Baby, we’ll figure this out tomorrow. Right now I just want to snuggle with my future wife and have sweet dreams.” Tara softly spoke, pulling up the covers and tucked them in nicely.
“When you made love to me just now, I swear you were inside me.” Willow whispered into the dark.
“I was.” Tara smirked. “You were in me.” She smiled and kissed the top of Willow’s head. “It felt like a life was inside me, yearning to grow, yearning to burst with love. And that’s you sweetie, you grow and you burst with love everyday.”
Willow smiled softly and snuggled further into her lover’s warm soft body. “I love you Tara, night.”
“Night Willow, I love you too.” Tara replied sleepily, she tightened her embrace around Willow as they drifted off to a nice sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Good night?” Tori asked, wrapping her arm around Dawn’s waist.
“Best night.” Dawn smiled and opened the front door to Willow’s place.
“Good, cause I had the best time with my girlfriend.” Tori closed the door and twirled Dawn close to her. “I feel like it’s Prom night or something.” She giggled quietly.
“Really?” Dawn grinned.
“But it won’t be like they usually are at the end.” Tori quickly said. “I mean, instead of taking your date home, you usually take them to a hotel and have sex with them.” She finished, blushing slightly at the way Dawn was looking at her – amused. “However, I wouldn’t have it that way, cause first of all, you get a hotel room for one night and have to check out early, so after morning snuggles are out of the question. Second of all, it’s just sex so after morning snuggles are out of the question anyway.”
“Looks like you thought this through.” Dawn smirked.
“No, I haven’t. It’s just common sense when it comes time for prom. I can see it working out that way if we weren’t in love.” Tori reasoned.
“So what are you trying to say?” Dawn played with Tori’s hair.
“That if this were Prom night, I’d rent a weekend cabin and make love to you, with no rush.” Tori blushed.
“I love you.” Dawn smiled and kissed her girlfriend softly.
“But seeing as it’s not Prom night and we’re in a house with grownups and a little one, it’s not gonna happen.” Tori grinned.
“No rush.” Dawn licked her lips. “I can wait.”
“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.” Tori smiled nervously. “But not now because it’ll probably ruin the evening, so why don’t we go upstairs, change into our pajama’s and sleep.”
“Okay. But I won’t let you forget.” Dawn said, slightly concerned.
“Oh I know.” Tori grabbed Dawn’s hand and made their way up to the bedroom.
After getting out of their dresses, cleaning up and getting into the night wear, the two teenagers snuggled up in bed. “I can’t believe we both were nominated for Sunnydale Winter Carnival Queen.” Dawn giggled.
“I know.” Tori smiled. “But it’s cool, I’m glad we were accepted tonight without anybody trying to break us up.”
“Me too.” Dawn sighed, her head pillowed on Tori’s shoulder.
“We’ve come a long way, Dawnie.”
“You and me baby.” Dawn yawned and nuzzled Tori’s neck. “Me sleepy.” She yawned again.
Giggling softly, Tori patted Dawn’s arm and closed her eyes. “Night.”
“Night love.”
