Happily Ever After (sequel to The Outing)

[xita]

That's great how Anya's instincts kicked in like that. It's interesting how w/t see themselves in these very traditional roles.

[The Rose24]

Very cute.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Willow: Hi, um Tara. I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?

[eccentrictulip]

*please use both hands....*

[Lonewolf22]

Mainer: Great fic, I just got caught up with both parts and they are great, I really love the idea of Willow and Tara as parents, and its really cool that you have Xander and Anya as parents too, I can't wait to read more.

Okay, so i'm liking this. I have a soft spot for W/T mommy fics... in case you didn't know



So.... are we going to find out just how Willow "accidentally" got Tara pregnant?



Hmmmmm? Pleeeeeease?



Cheers

[Mainer]

How Willow got Tara pregnant seems to be the question on everyone's mind. I do have the answer to that question, but I am still undecided as to whether it will make an appearance in the story or not. There is a possibility that it will.

Spencer,



Please let it?? I'm very interested in finding out.



Loved the update. Willow trying to build everything herself and not being able to read, "Carpenter talk." She's so cute. Hee... I bet Xander was floored when he accidentally walked in on them.



I'm just loving this fic so much. And that nursery just sounds, darling.



Can't wait for more,

Jen

Part three



"Okay now that everyone is here we can officially start the baby shower," Dawn said.



"Dawn, you only invited me and mom, and of course Willow, Tara, and Anya, so I don't think we need an elaborate speech," Buffy said.



"Buffy leave your sister alone," Joyce said.



"As I was saying. The first thing is that everyone gets one of these pacifiers on a string and if you hear someone say the word baby or cute you take their pacifier, the person with the most at the end of the party wins a prize," Dawn said handing everyone a pacifier. "Starting now, no one can say those two words."



"What two words?" Buffy asked.



"Baby and cute," Dawn said.



"Thank you," Buffy said holding out her hand ready for Dawn's pacifier.



"That doesn't count," Dawn said.



"Yes it does, it's not my fault your stupid."



"Mom?" Dawn asked.



"It counts, they were your rules," Joyce said. Dawn reluctantly handed the pacifier over to Buffy.



"I like this game," Buffy said.



"You tricked your little sister," Willow said.



"I know," Buffy said proudly.



"Um, now before we eat everyone needs to rip off a length of toilet paper . One that will fit around Anya and one that will fit around Tara. Willow and Tara only get to do one for Anya and Anya you only get to do one for Tara. The blue roll is for Anya and the pink roll is for Tara."



"Dawn," Tara said following her into the kitchen of the Summer's home. "Can I ask you a question?"



"Sure."



"Why did you do everything for Anya in blue and everything for me in pink?"



"Because you're having a girl and Anya's having a boy," Dawn said.



"We don't know that," Tara said. Both couples decided they wanted to be surprised.



"I know that," Dawn said.



"How?" Tara asked.



"Intuition," Dawn said. "Do you think they're done with the toilet paper yet?"



"Probably," Tara said.



"You can go ahead and grab a plate, I'll go tell everyone it's time to eat," Dawn said.





"I see how it works. You go into the kitchen under the guise of helping Dawn, so you can get to the food first," Willow said as Tara returned to the sofa with a full plate of food.



"I got you something," Tara said.



"Forgiven," Willow said smiling and picking a carrot stick off Tara's plate.



"Actually I wanted to ask her why she's so convinced we're having a girl," Tara said.



"What did she say?"



"Intuition."



"Ah, yes, intuition. A typical Buffy answer. Clearly they're spending too much time together," Willow said. "This is all good and fun, but I want to get to the presents."



"I know you do Sweetie. You've been so patient. It'll be present time soon enough," Tara said rubbing Willow's leg. "See people are almost finished eating."



"If you keep rubbing my thigh like that, we aren't going to be here long enough to open presents," Willow whispered, and smiled when Tara's hand immediately ceased it's actions.



"When everyone's done we can do the gifts," Dawn said.



"Stop eating, stop eating," Anya said. "We're all done. Present time."



"Okay," Dawn said shaking her head and laughing at Anya. She had expected that response from Willow, but she and Tara were busy whispering about something on the sofa. "We'll do one each until they're all gone."



"I want to go first," Anya said.



"Are you guys with us?" Buffy asked Willow and Tara who hadn't even looked up since the mention of presents, which is highly unlike Willow.



"Huh?" Willow asked.



"Presents," Buffy said.



"Oh."



"Here you can open mine first," Dawn said handing the gifts she bought to Anya and Tara who in turn handed it to Willow. Anya opened her package and pulled out a little blue dress suit. Tara's present contained a little pink dress. "See they go together, so you guys can have their pictures taken together."



"That's so cute," Tara said examining the little dress.



"Hand it over," Buffy said as she was the first to notice Tara's slip. Tara willingly gave her pacifier to Buffy.



"You lasted longer than I thought," Willow said to Tara, who playfully swatted her back.



They continued opening gifts. Both women got numerous outfits, and toys, and some practical things from Giles like baby powder and baby wipes, as well as a book of course. Buffy continued her quest to get all the pacifiers, but she hadn't succeeded in getting anymore as they were all expecting to be tricked.



"Is everyone ready to find out who won the toilet paper game?" Dawn asked.



"Yes," Buffy said with annoyance in her voice. She was more than a little tired of Dawn's excitement for this whole baby shower. She'd been listening to it for months.



"Okay. Anya was 15 squares and Tara was 17 squares," Dawn said giving everyone time to count their toilet paper. "Who's closest?"



"I have 14 for Tara," Anya said holding up her toilet paper proudly.



"Read em and weep losers. I have 15 for Anya and 17 for Tara," Buffy said doing a little happy dance. It had been said on occasion that the slayer was just a teeny bit too competitive. "Where's my prize?"



"You cheated," Dawn said.



"How?" Buffy asked.



"I don't know, but you did."



"I won, I want my prize," Buffy said.



"No," Dawn said holding the prize in her hand.



"Give it," Buffy said moving to where Dawn stood.



"No."



"If you don't give that to me, I'll take it from you," Buffy said.



"I'm not giving it to a cheater," Dawn yelled and started running toward the kitchen.



"That's it," Buffy said launching into full slayer attack mode.



"Girls," Joyce said trying to gain control over her daughters. "I'll send you both to your rooms." With that both girls stopped.



"She started it," Buffy said.



"Dawnie, just let Buffy have it," Willow said through her laughter. Whenever Buffy and Dawn were together they just seemed to resort back to two four year olds. Willow looked over at Tara, who had also been laughing, but now she was yawning. "Tired, baby?" Willow asked quietly.



"I heard that, Will, give me your pacifier," Buffy said.



"I didn't hear anything," Anya said.



"I have slayer hearing."



"Take it, and stop listening to other people's private conversations," Willow said turning her attention back to Tara.



"A little," Tara admitted, even though truthfully she was exhausted.



"This has been really fun, but it's time for us to go," Willow said standing up from the sofa. If Tara was tired, the party was over.



"So soon?" Dawn asked.



"Yes, but you'll see us again tomorrow after school," Tara said.



"I'll just go grab my stuff," Buffy said sprinting up the stairs.



"Buffy's staying with you?" Joyce asked.



"Yeah, we have class together tomorrow," Willow said.



"Plus, I wanna see the nursery," Buffy said.



"I bet the baby's room looks so cute," Joyce said.



"Gimme, gimme," Buffy said taking the pacifier from Joyce.



"The party is over," Joyce said.



"Not officially," Buffy said. "Don't I get another prize for this?"



"You cheated at this too," Dawn said shoving the prize into Buffy's hands.

Awwww sibling love....hehe.....Buffy is so funny, no one else was even paying attention to the 'baby' and 'cute' thing. As far as the question of how Tara got pregnant goes...sure I'm curious obviously but just having her alive and starting a family with Willow is cool for me....so whether you decide to include it or not will be cool by me....you're the talented writer not me

[Lonewolf22]

Mainer: Great update, it was very funny to see Buffy and Dawn fighting like little kids, I like that Dawn is so sure that Tara is having a girl and Anya is having a boy, pretty cool intuition. I can't wait to read more.

Great update! Buffy and Dawn fighting, too funny! W/T are just soo cute! Can't wait 4 more!!
