Chapter 14:
On Saturday the party went great. Everyone had fun and gave Emily the best birthday they could. On Sunday the funeral was very sad. Lots of tears, but it was beautiful. Tara and Willow and Jake stayed with Anne both Saturday and Sunday. On Monday while the teens and two kids went to school, Paige and Anne went out to the city for the day.
"So mom and Anne probably won't be home till late tonight, do you all want to come over my house and hang?" Xander asked. They were at lunch.
"I can't come," Cordelia said from her position on Xander's lap. "I have to go out to dinner with my family tonight. My dad got a promotion or something."
"Good," Anya said under her breath.
"What was that?" Cordelia glared at the girl.
"Well if you really want to know..." Anya went to stand up off Matt's lap.
"That sounds great," Buffy said grabbing Anya's arm. "Hanging at your house Xander. That sounds great."
"Good," Xander said. "Everyone else in?" Everyone agreed.
___________
"We are gonna head to the house," Xander said to Tara.
"Okay," Tara said. "When Willow's get done talking to her teacher we will meet you there."
"Alright," Xander and everyone got in their cars. "Mitch, Cole you coming with us?"
"Nah," Mitch said. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Cole you can go."
"Nah I'll stay and keep Tara company," Cole smiled at his best friend.
"Aw well thank you," she smiled back. The others drove away.

Willow hummed to herself as she walked out of the classroom and down the hall. "Going to see my baby, going to see my baby," she sang quietly to herself and swayed back and fourth.
"Hey."
Willow jumped at the voice and looked up. Her face hardened. "What do you want Gwen?"
"To talk to you," Gwen said.
"Well I don't wanna talk to you," Willow went to walk past her.
"Hey wait," Gwen grabbed her arm. Willow pulled away fast. "Look I wanted to say I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you."
"It's okay," Willow said. "Cause Tara took me back even though you made up that stupid shit."
"Yeah I noticed you guys were back together," Gwen snapped.
"Yeah we are," Willow went to walk away.
"What do you see in her?," Gwen said.
Willow turned around and glared at the girl. "I''ll tell you what I see. I see a strong, independent, beautiful girl who has dealt with some sort of abuse her whole life. Who took care of her little brother when her mom was sick and than died of cancer. A girl who was almost killed by her ex girlfriend. A girl who adopted her brother and gives him all the love and care and happiness she can. A girl who helped two older women out and is still taking care of one after her soul mate died. A girl who tells me all the time how beautiful I am and how amazing I am and treats me like I'm the most precious thing in the world. A girl who thinks of everyone else before herself. A girl who would do anything to help anyone. A girl who kept a secret from everyone including me cause a friend didn't want people to know about the person they are dating just yet. A girl who makes my heart race and makes me smile even when I don't want too. A girl who I'm completely in love with and who is completely in love with me. So ask me again what I see in her?"
Gwen just stood there, staring at Willow. Than before Willow knew what was going on Gwen grabbed her by her arms, slammed her against the wall and kissed her. Willow tried to move away, but Gwen had her fully pinned and she was stronger than Willow. Willow tried to scream and kept squirming to get away. Finally Willow got her head turned away from Gwen's face. "Get off," Willow screamed, but Gwen wouldn't let up.
"Hey," a voice said than all of a sudden Gwen was off Willow and on the floor. "What the fuck is your problem," Mitch yelled at the girl, he turned to Willow. "Are you okay?"
"I...I..." tears were in Willow's eyes.
"Your lip," Mitch said noticing the blood.
"Her...her tooth c-cut it when I moved away," Willow said.
"Come on," Mitch grabbed her hand and lead them outside.
"Do you like pickle juice?" Cole asked Tara.
"What?" Tara looked at him.
"Pickle juice form the jar?"
"I don't know," Tara giggled. "I have never tried it."
"I love it," Cole leaned back on the hood of the jeep. "I drink it all the time and Mitch thinks it's weird."
"Is it heathly to drink pickle juice?"
"I dunno," Cole sat back up. "Is it? I don't see why it...." he trailed off when he saw Mitch and Willow coming out of the school. "What the hell happened?"
Tara turned around and her smile dropped at the sight of Mitch with his arms around Willow, tears in her eyes and blood on her lip. Willow ran to her. Tara jumped off the hood of her Jeep and met Willow half way almost falling as the small girl ran into her. Tara wrapped her arms proctectly around Willow whose face was buried in her neck. "Baby what happened?" Tara asked. Willow said nothing. "Baby?"
"What happened baby?" Cole asked Mitch.
"I came out of the bathroom and I saw Willow pinned against the wall by Gwen and they were kissing. At first I got pissed thinking Willow was cheating, but than Willow started to scream at her to get off and Gwen wouldn't and Willow was crying and I grabbed Gwen and threw her to the ground."
"Her lip?" Tara almost shouted.
"She said Gwen's tooth cut it when she moved away."
"Is she still fucking in there?" Tara did shout this time.
"I don't know," Mitch said.
"She is gonna pay," Tara let go of Willow and went to walk into the school.
"No," Willow shouted, Tara turned and was almost knocked to the ground again by her girlfriend. "Don't leave me," Willow cried harder.
Tara looked at Mitch and Cole, both looked at the two girls with tears in their own eyes. "Okay baby," Tara said. She had to gasp to get it out, Willow was holding her so tight.
"I wanna go," Willow sad.
"Okay," Tara said. Willow loosened her grip, but quickly grabbed Tara's hand. Tara kissed her girlfriend's forehead and threw the keys to Cole. "Drive."
"Okay," he said. They all got into the car. When they got to Xander's, Tara took WIllow upstairs without saying anything to anyone.
"What's going on?" Buffy asked getting up.
"No," Cole put his hand up. "I'll tell you what happened."
"Come on baby," Tara lead Willow to the bathroom. She set her girlfriend on the toilet than grabbed a wash cloth and wet it. "This might burn," Tara said. She put the warm cloth on Willow's lip. The redhead cringed, but then relaxed. "Are you okay baby?"
"I will be when I'm in your arms," Willow looked into her girlfriend's eyes.
Tara smiled at her. "After I get your lip cleaned up, we will go into my room and I'll hold you for as long as you want."
"I hope you are free forever," Willow smiled at her. Tara's smiled grew and she leaned up and kissed Willow's forehead. "Can we go to your room now. Please?"
Tara saw the pleading in her girlfriends eyes. "Just let me make sure your lip is okay," she looked at the lip. It seemed to be not bleeding anymore. She wiped the rest of the dried blood away than walked to the sink and started to rise the blood out the cloth. She felt Willow wrap her arms around her waist and she smiled. When all the blood was gone she wringed the cloth out and threw it in the laundry. "Come on," she grabbed Willow's hand and lead her to the room. "You want to put on some sweats?" Willow shook her head as she laid on the bed. "Okay," Tara said and climbed in the bed with her.
"Come here," Willow pulled at Tara till she was laying on top of her. "Will you kiss me?"
Tara looked at her girlfriend. "I don't want to hurt your lip."
"But I don't like the feeling my lips have from her," tears came to Willow's eyes. "I don't want anyone kissing me, but you. It feels wrong when someone else does. It feels gross and I don't like it. I like the tingling you give me lips. I like the gentleness of your kiss. Even when we are making out, you are gentle."
"Baby I made your lip bleed once from biting it to hard," Tara smirked.
"Yeah, but it was still your gentle bit, which sounds stupid, but it's true."
"It doesn't sound stupid," Tara smiled. She leaned down and gave her girlfriend's lips a gentle to kiss. Willow moaned at the contact. Tara opened her mouth hoping Willow would get the hint, she did and slide her tongue into her girlfriend's mouth. Both girls moaned at the contact. Tara pulled away.
"No," Willow whimpered.
Tara sat up straddling her girlfriend. "Lift up." Willow did so and Tara pulled off her shirt. When the shirt was gone she leaned down and kissed her girlfriend again. Willow deepened the kiss. Tara reached around and unsnapped Willow's bra. Tara pulled away to move the bra off Willow's shoulders. She stopped and her mouth hung open. She stared at her girlfriend's arms and ran a hand on each upper arm where two bruises were forming. Anger filled Tara's eyes. "I'm gonna beat the fucking hell out of that stupid bitch."
"Tara..." Willow said.
"No," Tara snapped. "Look at what she fucking did. She fucking hurt you and now I'm gonna hurt her."
"Please," Willow said. She grabbed Tara's face into her hands. "Please just let it go."
"Let it go?" Tara almost shouted. "Why?"
"Cause I just want to forget it."
"Who knows what she would have done if Mitch hadn't come up."
"She probably wouldn't have done anything."
"You don't know that."
"Baby!" Willow shouted. Tara looked at her girlfriend, shocked. "I'm shirtless, your straddling me, I'm horny and I want you to stop talking and make love to me right now." Tara sat there and stared at her girlfriend. She got off her lap. "Tara?" Willow started to panic as Tara moved towards the door. "I-i'm sorry. Baby I'm so sorry. Please come back. Please..." she stopped when she saw Tara lock the door. Tara turned and smirked at her girlfriend. "That was mean. You scared me."
"Well," Tara walked back to Willow. "Remember when you scared me when I told you about my past?"
"Yeah," Willow said.
Tara got back on her girlfriend, straddling her again. "Pay back's a bitch isn't it," Tara smirked before capturing her girlfriend's lips and pushing her back onto the bed.

Tara stirred at the knocking on the door. She went to move, but realized she couldn't. Willow had her pinned to the bed by her arm and a leg.
"Tara?" Anne voice's came from outside the door.
"Hold on," Tara said. "Baby," she shook Willow.
"No evil frog get away from Tara. Don't make me squish you..." Tara giggled at her girlfriend's sleep talk. She pulled herself away from her girlfriend and got out of bed. She pulled on sweats and a shirt and opened the door.
"Hi," Anne smiled.
"Hi," Tara said.
"Tired?" Tara nodded. "Are you and Willow's coming to my house? Jake is downstairs and he wants to know which house he is sleeping in tonight.
"Yours, " Tara stretched. "We will be down in a minute."
"Okay," Anne smiled and walked back downstairs.
Tara closed the door and walked over to the bed. "No," Willow mumbled. "Give me her back. She is mine. Not yours. I'll kill you frog beast."
Tara covered her mouth to muffle her laughter. She leaned down on the bed and hovered over her girlfriend. "I'm here baby," she said. "The evil frogs couldn't keep me from you." Willow smiled in her sleep and grabbed Tara. Tara squealed as Willow rolled and took Tara with her. Tara giggled. "Baby get up." Willow didn't say anything or move. "Baby," Tara kissed her girlfriend's head. "Baby," she kissed her lips. Willow moaned and started to kiss back. Tara pulled away. Willow whimpered and tried to find Tara's lips again with her eyes still closed. Tara backed her head away and giggled. Willow pouted and opened her eyes. "Hi," Tara smiled.
"Tara lips," Willow kept pouting.
"Not till you get up. Anne..." before Tara could finish Willow was up.
"I'm up," she said. "Tara lips."
Tara giggled and got up to, she walked over to Willow. "I love you," she said and kissed her girlfriend.
"Mmmm," Willow said as they pulled away. "I love you too," she smiled against Tara's lips than kissed her again.
"Naked girlfriend," Tara giggled.
"Huh?" Willow said than looked down.
"Tara, Willow," Jake said. The knob started to turn.
"Jake no," Tara said. Willow grabbed at her clothes and started to put them on.
"What?" Jake said as he stopped turning the knob.
"We will be right out sweetheart."
"Okay," Jake said. "Get dressed and hurry up I'm sleepy," he giggled and they could hear his running footsteps go down the stairs.
"I love how he is so cool with us," Willow said as she finished getting dressed.
"I love how cool he is with you," Tara wrapped her arms around her girlfriends waist. "I love you so so so so much," she kissed Willow's cheek.
"I love you so much too," Willow buried her face into the girlfriend's neck. They don't know how long they stayed that way, but they soon heard Buffy's voice.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah," Tara said.
Buffy opened the door and smiled at her two friends hugging."How are you?" Buffy looked at Willow.
"Good, no beating up Gwen," Willow said.
"What?"Buffy shouted.
"My reaction, but she doesn't want to start things," Tara said.
"Willow..." Buffy was cut off.
"Buffy," Willow gave her a look. "Promise me."
Buffy stood there for a couple seconds. "Fine, I promise." she stormed out of the room.
_____________
"Good morning Anne," Tara smiled walking into the kitchen.
"Tara," Anne smiled. "Sit."
"Okay," Tara was a little confused as she took a seat. Anne sat across from her.
"I want to talk to you about something."
"Yes?" Tara asked.
"How much do you love this place?"
"Very much."
"How would you like it to be yours?"
"What?" Tara's eye grew.
"Upstairs is two rooms. Mine and Sophie's and Billy and Dean's old room. Both rooms have bathrooms. So Jake can have his own one. I can keep mine until I am gone and Jake can have the other. The basement can be turned into another bedroom. It has a bathroom and it's nice and big. What I'm offering is for you and Jake to move in. You will have a house so you can keep Jake and I will have company and I will have someone I trust to take over this place."
"A-a-are you serious?" Tara stuttered out, eyes still wide.
"Yes I am," the older women smiled.
"Thank you," Tara jumped up and ran over, grabbing the older women in a hug almost knocking them both and the chair to the floor. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"Strong girl, weak women," Anne said.
"Sorry," Tara backed off.
Anne smiled at her. "You can move in whenever you want. I talked to your uncle and him, Xander, Mitch, and Cole are going to fix up the basement, but you can move in and stay on the sofa till than."
"Okay," Tara smiled. "Willow!" she shouted and ran into the living room where Jake and Willow were sitting.
__________
"You will be here after I get out right?" Willow asked Tara as they stood outside of her first period.
"Yes baby, I will make something up and get out early," Tara said. "I love you," she leaned in and kissed her girlfriend.
"I love you too," Willow hugged her tightly. "I don't want to go in," Willow's whispered in her girlfriend's ear.
"I know sweetie, but you have to go to class, I will be with you whenever you aren't in class," Tara kissed her cheek. "See you after class love." they kissed again and Willow walked into the class. Tara waited till she could see Willow sitting at her desk before she walked down the hallway. She stopped when she saw Gwen. Tara balled her hands into fist and walked towards the girl. "Hey," she grabbed Gwen's shirt and slammed her against the lockers. People in the hallway stopped and looked.
"T-t-tara..." Gwen had fear in her eyes as she looked into the angry blue eyes.
"Listen to me you fucking little bitch, if you ever, ever, touch my girlfriend again you will regret it. You understand me." Tara pulled the girl away from the lockers and than threw her back against them. "I said understand me?" she shouted.
"Y-y-yes," Gwen finally got out.
"Good," Tara turned and walked away. She looked at Buffy and Anya were were now standing near her.
"You are lucky," Buffy said looking at Gwen "That I promised I wouldn't hit you," she turned and followed Tara.
"I," Anya walked up to Gwen. "Didn't promise anyone, anything," and with that she punched Gwen in the face. Buffy and Tara turned around at the sound of something hitting the lockers. Their mouths hung open. When they saw Gwen on the ground, against the lockers, blood coming out of her nose. "Stupid bitch," Anya said and walked away. Buffy and Tara watched her walk, looked at each other than looked at Gwen, they started to laugh than followed Anya.
Gwen stood up and wiped the blood away. She than looked at about 20 students angry eyes glaring at her. "Hi," she said to all the students.
"What did you do to the Rosenburg girl," one asked.
"I uh well..." Gwen couldn't talk.
"That's what I would like to know," Gwen turned to see the principle staring at her. "My office now." Gwen looked down at the ground and followed the principle.
______________
"Did you hear," Willow came running up to Tara in their last period.
"Hear what?" Tara asked taking her girlfriend in her lap.
"Gwen got suspended. Apparently something happened and the principle got involved and she confessed to what she did and she got in trouble for harassment and the principle suspended her and said that she was lucky she didn't call the police."
"That's great," Mitch smiled.
"I know," Willow said. She kissed Tara. "I love you, thank you for doing what I asked you too. Buffy and Anya told me you yelled at her, but I know you didn't hit her. Anya is very proud in the fact that she did," Willow smiled.
"I love you too," she kissed Willow.
"Alright, alright," the teacher walked into the room. "Let's get started."
__________
"He looks so peaceful," Willow giggled as she followed Tara who was carrying Jake up the stairs of their new home.
"Yeah he does," Tara smiled at the boy. They walked into the room. Willow ran over and pulled the covers down and Tara put her brother in the bed. They covered him up.
"Night buddy," Willow leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"Night sweetie," Tara kissed his head.
Jake rolled over onto his side. "Night mommy, night mama," he mumbled.
Tara and Willow looked at each other than looked at the boy who was sound asleep than they looked at each other again and smiled. Tara leaned over and kissed her girlfriend's lips softly before they walked out of the room hand in hand.
