New Fic: There You Are

[mollyig]

Willow still hasn't fully reconciled herself to the idea of being pregnant, bless her. I'm sure when she talks things through with Tara it'll be better.



And Emily being all jealous of her new sister sharing her room. Poor love.



Excellent chapter, as ever.

[Miss1234Kitty]

Emily is so sweet, and so realistic. I remember being like that when my sister was born - first of all loving is and then hating it. My first memory is trying to poke her eye out when my mum was playing with her!



I hope that Willow starts talking to Tara about the pregnancy soon, but she really needs to talk to Buffy as well. I also think it's really good that Tara and Will have both told Emily firmly that dark magick is bad.



Fantastic update, DarkWicccan. More soon, please? *jumps up and down excitedly*

Hey DW just read the last four updates, am so loving this story. Love the way that Willow, Tara and Emily interact together. And what's with that Raven? Any way England got knocked out of the world cup today so I needed cheering up and this story has done the job. Thanks DW!

Update soon.

[tkheaven]

Hmm, sounds like Willow isn't very comfortable with the idea just yet...like she'll procrastinate till the last minute..



Emily and Joseph.. (it's a conspiracy, I tell you!!)



Emily is too cute with the sarcasm...

-----------------------------
Tara was similarly riveted, her body on slow burn as Willow's lips parted and her mouth opened, the food slipping inside and being consumed. Never in her life had Tara ever wanted to be a chicken casserole so badly...Later that night..."It's good to be a chicken casserole," Tara murmured, before passing out. ~ Answering Darkness by Sassette

[Grimaldi]

great update jealous Emily was too cute, looks like Willow needs a kick in the butt(metaphorically speaking) to make up her mind about birthing options. looking forward to the next part

Dude, we're surrounded by perverts!

oh my good i love this so much Emily is so cute. I was just the same when my sister was born. This is a really good fic, update soon please!!!

[DarkWiccan]

Okay...um.... WOAH! Lotsa replies.... I knew I shouldn't have waited so long to respond.



Alrightie, I'm just gonna stick to my usual major comment replyage in bulk and then individual stuff after.



Comment #1 -- Jealous Emily = Cute Realism



Reply -- Thanks! Not bad for someone who A) Doesn't have kids of her own and B) is an only child, eh? Alot of the sibling rivalry is coming from watching my godsons interact. When my eldest found out he was going to be a brother, he was excited for all of a month, until the reality of having to "share" started creeping up on him.



Comment # 2 -- Willow, still with the issues.



Reply -- Yup. And she is still making me a nervous wreck too... Empathy can be a real bitch sometimes



On to the single shots:



First off, a shout out to everyone just sayin' thanks, or who I answered in the bulk bit:



the slayers girl, Puff, LeatherQueen, VampNo12, Xita, the Rose 24, singgirl, mollyig, Grimaldi, and breaking!



And now... singles:



***Scout: I've always felt that Xander would make a good dad because he would work so hard to be the opposite of his father.



***LoneWolf22: Ghaena and Emily are doing fine right now, but Ghaena does have a few opinions that may clash with Tara and Willow's own... I'm interesting myself to see how that will play out...



***Miss1234Kitty -- It's funny you should say that Willow should chat up Buffy....hmmm...



***earthlovinwicca -- Sorry to hear about the UK... glad I could cheer you up! (I know nothing about sports, the GF caught me stuck on the sports channel the other day and asked me if I was feeling alright!)



***tkheaven -- So... how are you and Jennpurr doing?



Working on the next li'l bit right now... It should be up over the weekend if not sooner... depends on how the muse strikes.



Cheers

i only just read the update and it was great! for some reason it reminded me of one of the early seasons, when everything was light hearted and amusing.

but i get the feeling it's gonna need some major pushing from tara to get willow to talk about having the baby.

_____________________________



“Honestly, Anya, I’m getting to the end of my rope”, Tara said to the ex-demon as the two of them chatted over chai tea and coffee at the Espresso Pump. “I mean, I’m not a walking thesaurus, there are only so many ways to say, ‘Don’t worry, Honey, everything will be fine’.”



“I must admit even I have been stunned by Willow’s overwhelming insecurity with being pregnant”, Anya replied, “She’s even worse than I was, and I was a complete mess.” She thoughtfully sipped at her amaretto-flavored caffeine. “I don’t know how you’ve made it this far without giving her a swift kick in the pants.”



“Will’s always needed a lot of reassurance in everything”, Tara explained, “Truthfully it’s part of why I love her so, her need for me is so tangible, and mine for her as well. But, I just… I don’t know…”



“If I were you I’d be concerned about her rejecting the baby”, Anya stated matter-of-factly.



“What?” asked Tara, unusually shocked by her friend’s typical candor.



“Oh it happens”, the former vengeance demon went on, “and not just in the wild. It’s rare but occasionally a human mother will reject her offspring.”



“Willow would never do that”, Tara replied, sipping her tea resolutely.



“Oh, I’m sure you’re right”, Anya agreed, “Especially with the way she’s embraced this pregnancy, she should be fine.”



“Anya, I’ve got enough on my mind as it is, I don’t need you relaying last week’s Sally Jesse Raphael.”



“I’m just trying to be honest with you”, she commented, trying to smooth her ruffled feathers. “Anyway, it wasn’t Sally, it was Geraldo.”



“I thought his talk show was canceled years ago”, Tara queried.



“This is a new one”, Anya illuminated. “Yesterday his guests where Tipper Gore and Puff Daddy.”



“What was the topic?” The wiccan was almost afraid of the answer.



“‘People with Hair’.” The ex-demon replied. “Talk shows have really gone down hill.”



“Yeah”, Tara agreed. They continued nursing their beverages for a moment. “You don’t really think Willow will reject the baby, do you?”



“No, of course not. She’ll be just fine”, Anya responded, tapping Tara on the hand. “Unless of course she isn’t.”



Tara let out a defeatist sigh.



*****



“I just don’t understand why we have to decide this now”, Willow complained. She and Buffy were seated at the island inside the Summers’ home kitchen. The sounds of Emily and Joseph playing in the backyard filtered into the house.



“You’re absolutely right, Will”, the slayer agreed, “You shouldn’t have to decide this now.”



“Thank you”, the hacker replied.



“You should have already decided three weeks ago before you were half-way into your seventh month”, Buffy finished.



“But—“



“Face it, Will… the baby is gonna come out”, she continued, “And there is nothing you can do to stop it so you had better figure out the ‘where’ and the ‘how’ especially since you’re getting awful close to the ‘when’.”



“Yes, but—“



“Ghaena says you’re going to be fine, Tara says you’re going to be fine, everyone says you’re going to be fine”, Buffy said, exasperated. “So you’re going to be fine!”



“Why are you being so mean about it?” Willow asked in a small hurt voice.



“I know what you want, Willow”, the slayer replied, “You want me to agree with you and tell you that I think everyone is pushing you too hard to make a decision. But, that’s not what you need. You need someone one to tell it to you like it is and as your best friend, I feel it is my sacred duty to do so.”



“So, you’re giving me what I need and not what I want”, the redhead bitterly surmised.



“Yup”, Buffy admitted plainly.



“How very benevolent of you.”



“Will, what do you think is going to happen when nine months is up?” Buffy questioned. “I mean, honestly, what do you think? Do you even realize that at the end of all this there’s going to be a new life in your hands? Or do you think that you’ll just stop being pregnant and everything will go back to how it was before?”



Willow stared into her glass of ice water, she could feel her nostrils flaring as her temper rose, but she kept it in check, because she new deep down that her best friend was right. “Of course I know that there is a life inside of me, Buffy”, she said. “I can feel her kick.”



The slayer decided to let the subject rest for the moment. She could see that Willow was taking this conversation in a similar fashion to how she used to take a beating from a vamp. Hard.



“When does Emily start back to school?” She asked softly.



“Middle of August”, Willow answered, “The school district has decided to try the year-round thing.”



“How does she feel about that?” Buffy pressed on.



“Emily?” Willow questioned to verify. Seeing Buffy nod, she continued, “Oh, she’s excited. She loves school.”



“Just like her mama”, the blonde smiled. Willow smiled back. “Will, you’re a great parent and you’re going to do fine. But you need to start making plans.”



The redhead nodded dumbly, absent-mindedly rubbing one of her hands over her growing belly.



*****



Willow lay wide-awake in bed, propped up in a nest of pillows; Tara curled up at her side. She scanned the varying darkness of the bedroom, her eyes falling on the digital display of the alarm clock: 2:36am. Letting out a tired sigh she shifted a little, feeling the child inside her respond with a protesting kick.



“Oof”, she winced quietly, “I guess I woke you up.” Another kick. “Sheesh. You’re starting to feel like an entire AYSO soccer team in there.”



Tara stirred next to her, “Will?”



“Sh, baby, go back to sleep”, Willow urged, “I’m just having a little argument with mini-me in here.”



“Is she really active tonight?” Tara asked, sitting up.



“I think she joined a step aerobics class behind our backs”, the redhead joked. Tara smiled and placed her hand on her lover’s belly; feeling the movement, joy filling her heart. She didn’t notice Willow’s expression taking a sudden turn downward until her wife spoke something so softly she barely registered it.



“What, darling?” She replied.



“I said ‘I’m scared’.” Willow repeated, her voice still tiny. “You were so much better at this”, she continued.



“At what?”



“Having a baby”, the hacker explained. “You were so natural. I mean, you were so beautiful and sexy and… you handled everything so well. Even with the difficulties near the end… you were perfect.”



“I wasn’t perfect, Will”, the blonde sighed.



“To me you were”, Willow pressed on, “you were my beautiful pregnant earth goddess.”



“Get me down off that pedestal right now”, Tara responded softly but firm. “Because there is no way that you are going to be able to live up to an idealized image in your head. I know that if that’s what you feel you have live up to, you know you can’t so you’ll think you’ve already failed. But, you haven’t failed, Will and you need to get yourself out of the mindset that you have or else you will. And I can’t stand to see that happen. I won’t.”



Willow winced as she felt another kick. It seemed she was getting hit on all sides. Literally.



“What’s her name?” She asked after a moment.



“Michelle”, Tara immediately answered, a great smile suddenly crossing her face.



“I know”, Willow agreed, her eyes brightening in the dark. “Michelle. She told me, just now.”



“Me too, just now”, her love echoed.



After an age of basking in the glow their new daughter’s name, Willow finally spoke up, “Do you think Buffy would mind if we used our old room?”



“For when you have the baby?” Tara inquired.



“Yeah.”



“We can ask, but I don’t see why not”, the blonde responded, beaming, “I think she’d be positively thrilled!”



“Good”, Willow replied, stifling a yawn.



“Think you can sleep now?”



Willow nodded, feeling her eyes drifting shut.



“Good”, Tara whispered, leaning up to kiss her lover’s cheek. “Goodnight, sweetheart.” She then placed her lips softly on Willow’s belly. “Goodnight, Michelle.”



“Oof… she says ‘goodnight’.” The redhead mumbled. Tara chuckled softly as sleep overtook them all.

[VampNo12]

I really enjoyed this update DarkWiccan! Anya was her typical self not holding anything back with her comment "If I were you I be concerned about her rejecting the baby", which only now adds more worry to Tara's growing concerns. I must say I really love how you write Anya in this so story. Meaning she is still the same blunt woman she has always been, but having Joseph has given her added depth. Also loved their conversation about which talk show Anya was watching in order to give out this advice ("People with Hair" as the topic with Tipper and Puffy Daddy as guests made me laugh-out loud).



And of course as Tara is commiserating with her friend Anya, we then see the same with Willow and Buffy. However its "reality check time", and I loved how you conveyed this by using Joss personal view of "So, you're giving me what I need and not what I want" (truly wicked! ). Buffy is truly trying to point out that Willow needs to work out her fears before her time is up, and the baby is ready to be born. Also significant was Buffy making Willow realize that once the baby is born things will be different (ie not just be that Willow isn't pregnant anymore, but rather another child she will have to love and be a parent to).



Lastly, I loved how Tara communicated to Willow that she is setting herself to "fail" by making Tara the ideal, and her belief that Tara was just "so perfect" while being pregnant. And the way the baby communicated her name "Michelle" was just beautiful, it truly shows how connected not only W&T are, but to their unborn daughter as well.

Lovely exchange between Willow, Tara and the baby. I love the way you show all three are connected.

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?

[Scout]

The relationship dynamics among all the pairings in this update were very interesting. Even though this was written for a future time, I can hear all the characters saying these lines.



And I love the 'what I need, not what I want.' I know I've heard that somewhere before.

[Jennpurr]

Awww.. lovely W/T stuff there. Thank you.



I'm kinda scared for Will though. She's so not ready to have a baby. She needs to get with it though. Can't wait to see what happens next or where you take us. Thank you for this story, DW.



More, soon?

Great update! Great way to end a bad day. i.e. new job = much stress. Glad they finally found a name for the baby. As for Willow rejecting it, NO!!!

DarkWiccan: Great update, I really loved the interaction between Willow, Tara, and Michelle(great name BTW). I feel so sorry for Willow she is so scared but she has to realize that everthing will be OK and that not everything is perfect.



I also really liked the interaction between Anya and Tara and Willow and Buffy, good to see that the Scoobies still like to hang out together. I can't wait to read more.

[Thanatopsis]

I love Anya. “Unless of course she isn’t.” and Tara/Anya interaction is always interesting.



And while the whole "what I need and not what I want” cracked me up, I loved Willow's “How very benevolent of you.”

Chatting up Buffy? Oh, no. There will be no chatting up of Buffy. Or anyone but Tara. There is a big, big difference between talking and chatting up. At least there is in England, I might be totally confusing you if our terms of speech are about thirty years behind yours.



I'm glad that Willow is beginning to deal with it. But I still don't know why she is so nervous. I know there's the whole adopted thing, but to me it seems as though there's more. Does Tara know why, or does she think she's just nervous for no reason and that's why she's getting a bit annoyed?



Am I making any sense at all?



This fic is brilliant, DarkWiccan. But where was Emily? There has to be some baby Willow/Tara cuteness. Besides Michelle, because she hasn't mastered babbling yet. Great name, by the way. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what it means?

Hee... Hry guys... working on the next part right now... it should be up inthe next couple of hours...



till then:



Replies--



LeatherQueen -- Happy to oblige



tkheaven - Awesome *avatar* I love it!



VampNo12 -- I hope that now that the baby has a name, Willow will now relax a little more because the reality of the ultimate outcome of the pregnancy is now more tangible...I'll have to see what *she* tells me.



the Rose24 -- Yes, they are all connected and it's way past time that Willow realized this.



Scout -- As I've said before, the characters talk to me, so I write in their natural speech pattern (or at least try to) I'm glad it's working for you



JennPurr -- You're right, as of right now Willow *isn't* ready to have this baby... hopefully she will be by the time she does...



singgirl -- Oh Wow... I got a kiss! I feel the love!! Thank you!



xita -- Yes, and Tara will be even harder to live up to if Will refuses to take her down off that pedesta



LoneWolf22 -- As with the first story "NMWYG" I've tended to focus heavily on W/T on their own... but the scoobies are still a very important part of their lives and I try to remember to show that



Thanatopsis -- Will's line "How very benevolent of you." Is actually my own... I mean... It's exactly what I thought when I read Joss's quote... see...what he said can and does apply to certain situations... killing characters for ratings not being one of them.



Miss1234Kitty -- LOL...Yes, I know what "chatting up" means...I was playing with words to see if anyone caught it... I love doing that...playing with "isms" and phrases... watch out for it in my storytelling too...



More to Come!!

Here's a little update to tide you over....



Here We Go!

________________



“Thanks for helping with the clean-up, Tara”, Buffy said as the two women made rounds through the Summers’ home picking up used paper plates and the scattered remains of balloons and wrapping paper. “I hadn’t realized when I suggested having Joseph’s birthday party here just how tiring it was going to be.”



“Well, been there, done that”, Tara smiled, “And you’ve got to admit you had fun. I saw you playing pin the tail on the donkey, you seemed very enthusiastic.”



“Well, ten sugar-rushed four year olds holding me at plastic, cake-covered knife point was a very persuasive tactic to get with the playing”, the slayer joked.



Tara laughed as they walked into the kitchen, dumping their disposable bounty into an over-sized garbage bag. Buffy checked out the backdoor window to make sure that the remaining party guests were still playing nice. She chuckled as she saw Xander giving several of the kids pony-rides on his back while Anya fussed over Joseph, wiping his face of any left-over cake.



“One thing I will say though”, Buffy continued, “Joseph being the way he is and, most of his friends coming from the deaf pre-school, made for a very quiet party. At least the neighbors won’t complain about noise.”



“Yeah, they’ll be far to focused on the toilet-papered front lawn”, the wiccan pointed out. “But it’s the quiet that makes me nervous. I’m still not very fluent with sign language… I always get the idea that they’re plotting something.”



“Example, toilet papering the front lawn.” Buffy commented. “Especially when Em and Joe get together. Those two are just plain mischievous.”



Tara nodded in confirmation as she turned her attention to the sink and began filling the basin with hot water and soapsuds.



“Oh don’t worry about the dishes, Tara”, the slayer said, moving to her side. “I’ll get them later. Besides, you should probably start thinking of getting Willow home, she looked tired.”



“She went upstairs to lie down a little while ago”, Tara explained, “the baby has been really active the last week or so, keeping her up at night. She just can’t seem to get comfortable enough to sleep. I feel for her, I remember with Emily the last weeks were almost tortuous.”



“How close is she?”



“Still a few weeks from full term”, Tara replied, “her due date isn’t until the middle of September, so she’s nearing the end of her thirty-seventh week.”



“Is she doing any better?” Buffy questioned. “You know, with the dealing?”



“Oh yes”, the blonde said, letting out a grateful breath. “Ever since we came up with a name she’s been doing a whole lot better. Still nervous, but better.”



Emily came bursting through the back door, making a bee line for the hall. Buffy stopped her with a quick grab of her arm. “Whoa, Speed Racer”, she chided teasingly, “where you headed with the gas pedal down?”



“Uncle Xander just showed me a neat trick, Godmommy! Watch!” The little girl stuck her tongue out in concentration as she sloppily tried to recreate what Xander had shown her. After a couple of unsuccessful tries she finally did a fairly decent job of making it look like she could separate her thumb in half.



“Wow!” Buffy stated, “That’s pretty neat. I didn’t know you had a ‘snap-on’ thumb.”



“It’s not really”, Emily knowingly explained, “It’s just a trick.”



“Well it’s a very good one”, her mommy approved.



“Can I go show Mama?”



“Mama is upstairs lying down in our old room”, Tara illuminated, “But if you promise not to wake her if she’s asleep, you can go and check on her and see if she’d like to see.”



“Which means no storming up the stairs like a herd of elephants”, Buffy added.



“I’ll tip toe the whole way”, Emily promised, and demonstrated her seriousness by slowly tip toeing out of the kitchen and into the hall.



The two women laughed as they went outside to rejoin the rest of the group. Two more kids had been collected by their parents and now only one pint-sized party-goer remained. He and Joseph sat on the garden bench talking to one another excitedly.



“What are they so wrapped up about?” Buffy asked of Xander as she and Tara joined the young man and is wife in sitting on the porch steps.



“I think they’re debating who the better superhero is”, Xander responded, “Spiderman or Daredevil.”



“Brian, that’s the little boy, is arguing for Spiderman”, Anya explained, “But Joey is pressing for Daredevil. Either that or they’re discussing plans for world domination. And they’re just far too young for such talk.”



“Oh yes”, Tara agreed, “World domination is definitely in the five and over category.”



The back door opened and shut behind them and they all looked over their shoulders to see Emily standing there nervously.



“Hey, kiddo”, Xander smiled, “Maybe you can help settle a debate. Who’s the better superhero? Spiderman or Daredevil?”



“Mommy?” Emily asked softly, walking over to Tara.



“Yes, sweetie?” Tara inquired, noting her daughter’s sudden change in mood. Emily leant down to the blonde’s ear and whispered something. “What, baby? I didn’t understand you.” Emily tried again. “Sweetie, just say it out loud”, Tara urged.



“It’s embarrassing”, Emily explained.



“It’s okay, munchkin”, Buffy soothed, “We won’t laugh. Did you have an accident?”



“No”, Emily answered, “Mama did, she wet the bed real bad.”



Tara leapt to her feet, her eyes wide. “Oh god, Buffy, call Ghaena now!” She ordered as she rushed past her daughter and inside the house.



“But I don’t know her number!” Buffy called futilely after Tara.



“You don’t have to”, Emily stated, “Just whisper her name and she’ll come.”



The slayer nodded and did just that. On a nearby tree branch, a dark bird suddenly took flight.
