The blonde haired witch was cleaning up in the kitchen from breakfast. It wasn’t that big of a mess just some spilled water and dirty dishes, putting the dishes in the dishwasher and starting it she slowly entered the living room to find Willow, Gracie, Ryan and Morgan sitting on the couch watching cartoons.



“Hey Gracie, Ryan, Morgan and Willow.” Her voice sounded very happy and enthusiastic.



Willow smiled brightly up at her Wife, her green eyes shimmering in the light that was hitting off of the television. Grabbing the remote control she turned down the volume so she could talk to Tara, but she also kept the volume high enough so that the kids can hear it.



“Hey Baby, what’s up?”



“Nothing exciting exactly, just finished cleaning up the kitchen, loading the dishwasher you know all that stuff.”



Willow padded the spot on the left of her, requesting Tara to sit down next to her. Tara nodded her head softly as she walked over to the couch carefully and slowly and sat down next to Willow.



“What are we going to do for our daughters B-i-r-t-h-d-a-y.” Tara spelled it out so that the girls couldn’t figure out what they were talking about. The triplets birthday was going to be in one day and they had barely got any party plans except to invite the scoobies over for some fun filled games, of course there would be cake and ice cream and presents for them.



“Hmm… maybe… I have an idea why don’t we go to Knotts Berry Farm, for their birthday?”



“That sounds like a great idea, lets just remember that we can’t go on all the big rides because Gracie, Morgan , and Ryan are not tall enough yet.”



Willow nodded in agreement she knew that they’d only go to like Camp Snoopy and some little shows that they had there, in fact she already had called and made a reservation at the Knotts Berry Farm Party Center, she got all the information on the shows and prices. Her green eyes gazed over at the three small children who seemed to be hypnotized by the television.



Grace looked up at Willow and Tara with her big green eyes as she smiled brightly, showing off her little white baby teeth.



“Tomorrow is me and my sisters birthday!!!!” It seemed as though Grace made it a fact and said it like Tara and Willow never knew it was their birthday.



“Yeah! Is Uncle Xander coming to our party?!” Ryan asked, she loved Uncle Xander all she did was hang out with him whenever she got the chance to.



Morgan seemed to hypnotized by the television to say anything, she seemed to love tweety bird cartoons, she had a full tape of cartoons that had tweety bird on it, even her room was covered with little yellow birds.



“Well, I’m going to go call Xander and all the scoobies to tell them about your party all right? You will be getting a lot of presents hopefully!” Willow said as she stood up from the couch and made her way to the phone, picking it up. She first dialed Buffys house phone number.



*



Dawn looked lazily at the phone as she moved her small arm to pick it up and put the phone to her ear, her voice sounded half-awake.



“Hello?”



“Hey Dawnie! Did I wake you up or are you being all lazy again?”



“Oh no, I’m not being lazy at all I swear!” A laugh came from the other side of the phone line, Willow shook her head slowly.



“Tomorrow is Ryan, Gracie and Morgans birthday party… It’s at Knotts Berry Farm, it starts at 12:30 P.M and we will be meeting at Knotts Berry Farm Party Center… that is where the party is being held.”



Dawn wrote down this information as she smiled brightly. “Okay let me go ask Buffy!” Setting the phone down she stood at the edge of the stairs and yelled as loud as she could. “BUFFY!!!!!!!!”



The Blonde Slayer walked to the top of the stairs with her arms crossed, her hair was messed up and her make up looked like a wreck. “What!!?” Her voice sounded very impatient and angry that Dawn had to disturb her.



“Man, who woke up on the wrong side of the bed!” Dawn commented as she pointed at Buffy who looked like a mummy that had a hard time getting out of its coffin. “Willow and Taras daughters are having a party tomorrow as in it is going to be fun and not a world ending event, they’re turning 5 can we go?” Her eye brows raised at the comment that she had just made.



“What? Oh yeah sure…”



“Great!!!” Dawns voice sounded quite excited as she ran to the phone and picked it up. “Will? We can go! I can’t wait!!! I already got them a present as I had remembered it was their birthday!” coughing at what she just said, Buffy just looked down at her and shook her head walking back to her room and closing the door.



“That’s great! See you tomorrow! Bye!”



“Bye!”



They both hung up.



~*~



Willow smiled as she mouthed a ‘they can go’ to Tara who nodded happily. Turning back to the phone the flamed haired girl picked up the phone and dialed the number to Xanders and Anyas house. She played with her fingers while she waited for Xander or Anya to pick up.



Anya glared angrily at the phone as she picked it up and put it to her ear. “Hello?! What do you want?! I was just in the middle of having a good time with Xander! We were going to have sex and you had to disturb us?!”



“Uhm, Anya… its Willow and tomorrow is Gracie and Morgan and Ryans Birthday and we were wondering if you could come? It is at the Knotts Berry Farm Party Center in Knotts Berry Farm… it starts at 12:30 p.m can you remember that or do you need some more brains to remember it?”



“Yeah we can go, Xander and I that is, just make sure you wait for a couple minutes or a couple hours before you call! It is very rude to call and just call! Yeesh, you should at least tell us when you’re calling!”



Xander looked at his fiancé’ as he shook his head and told Anya to get off the phone and that we’ll see them tomorrow.



“Xander needs me!!! I should go now!” Anya hung up without saying good-bye or anything.



“Good-bye to you too!” Willow yelled into the phone and hung up the phone slowly as she turned around finding four people staring at her funny.



“Sorry, anyway.. tomorrow big day! Party time!!!”

Hot damn, you fooled me!! ;)

I thought with the title, this would be the fabled "Biker Fic", which would of course be :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

but no, it's :tara and :willow with triplets! Don't you think though that the 2 wiccans would be unhappy with their 3 kids being so attached to the TV? Turn it off, go outside and play!!

Part: 2/?

Special thanks: Lisa!!!(AmberBensonRocksMyWorld…) Or something like that…



Chapter Two: Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!!!



Ryan above all people was the first one up on the bright and early Saturday morning, she smiled brightly as she felt the warm sun beat across her face. Throwing her feet off the bed she stood up. Humming a little tune to herself when she walked down the stairs.



“Happy birthday to me!! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday to me!” She sang quietly as she walked into the living room.



“Cartoon time for me! Cartoon time for me!” Ryan giggled violently as she sat down on the couch and curled her feet up to her small chest and turned on the television watching Alvin and the Chipmunks.



Tara being awoken by the sound of the television sat up and groaned when she looked at the alarm clock, it was 7:30 A.M, to early to wake up, wondering which triplet was up she slowly got up from the bed careful not to wake her sleeping red head Willow.



“Ryan? Morgan? Gracie?” Tara asked quietly as she walked down the wooded hall, her feet padding against the wooden floor, she glanced inside Morgan’s room to find her sound asleep holding a tweety bird stuffed animal. She then walked to Gracie’s room to find Gracie sleeping on the floor again holding her little blanket that had a G on it, she smiled lightly as she went over to Gracie and picked her up setting her back down on the bed.



Gracie woke up slowly as she looked up at Tara, her green eyes showed that she was still sleeping yet half awake, she seemed to be a bit confused on who was holding her.



“Mommy?”



“Yes, it’s mommy… now go back to sleep it is to early to wake up…”



“Okay..”



Grace slowly fell back asleep after Tara put the covers over her, smiling at the sight of her daughter sleeping she stayed there for a little longer to watch her sleep, then with the turn of her foot she walked out of Gracie’s room quietly closing the door.



Tara made her way downstairs to find Ryan watching Alvin and the Chipmunks, she walked inside the living room and sat down next to Ryan having to wonder why Ryan would get up this early to watch Alvin and the chipmunks… it couldn’t be *That* important, or maybe it could? She didn’t exactly know.



“Hey Sweet-cheeks”



“Hey Mommy, it is my birthday today! I am turning 5!!!” Ryan held up 5 fingers to show her mom.



“Yes I know, Happy birthday…We’re going to be going to Knotts Berry Farm today…”



Ryan’s eyes lit up as she smiled brightly then she had ever done. “Really! Wow!!! I have always wanted to go there and see snoopy… Woodstock… Lucy!!! Will they be there?! I want to see Linus the most!!!” Her voice sounded really eager.



“Yes Ryan they will be there… I think you should sleep just a little bit more, I know we have this Episode on tape somewhere in the video cabinet…”



“Okay Mommy… but if I go back to sleep can you sing to me?”



“Of course sweetie.”



Tara gathered Ryan in her arms and she started to walk up the stairs, her blue eyes looking at all the pictures that were hanging on the wall in the hallway. Making her way into Ryans room she placed Ryan down on her bed and sat down at the edge of Ryan’s bed leaning towards her.



“What song do you want me to sing?”



“The song where days go by a lot…”



“The Days go by a lot..?? Oh! That song.. all right, your wish is my command” Tara said as she smiled all goofy like.



Tara slowly started to sing to Ryan:



Sunny came home to her favorite room

Sunny sat down in the kitchen

She opened a book and a box of tools

Sunny came home with a mission

She says days go by I'm hypnotized

I'm walking on a wire

I close my eyes and fly out of my mind

Into the fire



Sunny came home with a list of names

She didn't believe in transcendence

It's time for a few small repairs she said

Sunny came home with a vengeance



She says days go by I don't know why

I'm walking on a wire

I close my eyes and fly out of my mind

Into the fire



Get the kids and bring a sweater

Dry is good and wind is better

Count the years, you always knew it

Strike a match, go on and do it



Days go by I'm hypnotized

I'm walking on a wire

I close my eyes and fly out of my mind

Into the fire

Light the sky and hold on tight

The world is burning down

She's out there on her own and she's alright

Sunny came home

Sunny came home...



Tara glanced at the sleeping Ryan who had probably fallen asleep at the last part of the song. Her blue eyes looked at the little sleeping blonde, kissing her on the top of her head she stepped out of the room and back to her own room, looking at her sleeping Willow.



~* Two Hours Later *~



Ryan sat in the middle of the back row since she was the oldest and got to pick where she got to sit, her hands were clapping lightly because she got her way.



Gracie sat behind the drivers’ seat, with her hands against the window making funny faces at the cars that were passing by them as Tara drove. Morgan however was sleeping on the way to Knotts Berry Farm, She wanted to save all her energy.



“Mommy make Morgan wake up, I want to listen to the Radio but she is on the side behind Mommy…” Ryan whined about this as if it were going to be the last day on earth.



“I can’t wake up Morgan Sweetheart… She’s sleeping and I’m driving, Willow can’t either because she’s controlling the radio.” Tara had stated as she switched lanes in the freeway.



Willow who had not been paying attention turned on the Radio to the station KIIS FM, it was 9:30 and they were doing the top 9 in the morning and they seemed to like all the songs except for Eminems Song and Pinks “Just like a Pill”Song.



“Number 3 Today is John Mayer, with No such thing!!!!”



Gracie and Ryan let out a little cheer as they clapped their hands together really loudly wanting to listen to the song.



“Turn it up!” they both yelled, in unison.



As requested Willow turned up the Radio and hummed along with the song.



“I wanna scream at the top of my lungs!!!!” Ryan and Gracie sang along with the song “I just found out theres no such thing as the real world!!!”



The song ended, and there were little whines from the kids in the back of the car. They seemed to love that song. Hoping that they got that CD for there Birthday if they did they would be really happy.



“We’re here!”



“Yay!”

Thanks for the feedback

"Willow smiled brightly up at her Wife"

I love it already!



Ryan likes "Sunny came home"? Does she realize that song is about arson? I always found it a bit depressing. When is this set if Willow and Tara had time to get married and have triplets, (which not allowed by law and too darn expensive, respectively)?

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. My keyboard has this deal where it randomly stops working, right when I have something really witty to say. :mad . However, I do have some questions.



First of all, who was actually the mommy?



Second of all, how did said mommy have time to bear the kids while still going to college?



Third of all, did they get married prior to having kids? If so, how? Do you see a radical change in California marraige law in the not-too-distant future?



Fourth of all, if it's five years in the future, why are "Like a Pill" and "No such thing" still getting airtime? Sorry for the inquisitiveness; it must be annoying to have someone pestering you about your story :grin .

Thanks for the answers! They all have blonde hair and green eyes? Are they identical triplets? Also, having re-read it, why is Dawn still living at home at 20? Shouldn't she be in a dorm room or at least college-owned housing?

Part: 3.



Chapter Three: Party Time!!! Woohoo!!!



Gracie was running around wildly inside the Party Room at Knotts Berry Farm, she was very excited about having her party here, and everyone they invited could come! That was the best part more presents for her!!! She already had 5 presents on the table.. Well actually there was one of her, One for Ryan and One for Morgan and the other two were for her she hoped, since she was the youngest she should get the most presents that is what she thought.



Ryan however was sitting in front of the presents guarding them like there was no tomorrow. She didn’t want anyone to touch any of her presents they were hers… all hers… then again she had to share with her two other sisters since it was there birthday to. But she really didn’t want to, she deserved all of them after all she was the oldest by 4 minutes.



Morgan however did not care about the gifts, she seemed to occupied with the television screen that was playing snoopy cartoons, and she hadn’t seen any of these cartoons before so she enjoyed watching them. She had her blonde hair pulled back in two pigtail braids and was wearing a blue sun dress with blue socks and white shoes that had little light ups at the bottom.



Tara was sitting down next to Morgan watching the cartoons only because Morgan had requested for her to watch them with her. Her eyebrows raised at one of the little comments that one of the snoopy characters had made. Strangely she actually liked this cartoon. It was cute so she decided to just sit there and watch it, her sapphire colored eyes glanced over at Gracie and Ryan for a second just to check up on them since Willow was outside waiting for the others then she glanced back at the television.



“Mommy…” Ryan said as she saw a kid and a mom and a dad walk past the party room.



“Yes Sweet-heart.” Tara asked, as she looked over at Ryan her eyes curious on whom she was looking at.



“Why don’t I have a daddy?”



Tara looking a little shocked for a moment closed her eyes and had to think of something to say quickly. “Because, you have two mommies who love you very much, besides isn’t it better to have two mommies who know what you like and get you all the girly stuff.”



Ryan smiled. “Okay, I don’t want a daddy anymore, because I have cool mommies!” after she said that, she ran over to her mom and gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. “ I love you mommy.”



“I love you too.” Tara said, as she smiled brightly pulling Ryan into her lap she kissed Ryan on the top of her head.



Gracie stopped running for a moment, her sapphire eyes caught a big dark figure standing by a tree outside the party room, and she walked slowly over to the window to get a better look. She squinted her eyes so she could see better but she couldn’t make the picture on who it was, she knew it was a person she just couldn’t see the person.



Willow walked inside slowly, not long after Buffy and Dawn were walking inside arguing on about who was cuter.



“Snoopy is much more cuter!” Protested Dawn.



“No, Woodstalk is cuter after all he’s a little cute yellow bird that doesn’t say anything.”



“Snoopy doesn’t either, he only thinks!”



Gracie who glanced over at her aunts who seemed to arguing about something quite pointless, her sapphires went back to the tree, and the black figure was gone, her eyes widened as if she just saw a magic trick.



“Grace what are you looking at?” Dawn asked curiously as she walked over to the window and looked out the window, she didn’t see anything but that was okay, she slowly picked up Morgan and carried her over the group. “When are we gonna have Pizza and Cake?”



Willow who seemed to be hypnotized in thoughts that she was having, looked up at Dawn, her emerald eyes shining in the light. “What? Oh Cake? Uh...I think we’ll have it soon.”



Dawn smiled lightly as she glanced at the door seeing the dark figure, she blinked slowly to make sure she wasn’t seeing who she thought she saw. She then wondered if she should tell Willow and Tara but she decided not to because it must just be her imagination, just then the door opened and she screamed.



Gracie who was being held by Dawn covered her ears and closed her eyes wondering why Dawn was screaming.



“Dawn, what is it? Why’d you scream?” Buffy said as she looked around crazily as if Dawn had seen a demon or something.



“Oh uh… it was nothing…”





‘Okay.”



Xander and Anya entered the room, Anya who seemed like she was pouting like crazy. “Why do we have to buy gifts for people?”



“Because Ahn, it’s there birthday.”



“I want the presents, It is my birthday… give me the presents! Yeesh sometimes people just don’t get it, they should spend money on themselves not you spend money on them!”



“Ahn, your birthday just passed and it shows that you care about them.”



“Well, fine! But the girls owe me something when they get money! Like their money!”



Dawn and Willow and Tara and Xander and Buffy had all rolled their eyes and Anya and said in unison “Yeah…. Yeah right.”



~*3 Hours later*~



“Thank you for coming to our party!” The three young kids said in unison.



“Your welcome” Xander replied.



“Give me your money.” Anya said then she got in the car waiting for Xander to get in the car, they still had business to finish.



Xander shook his head at his wife, it seemed quite sad for his wife to want the girls money. “See you later”



Xander and Anya got in the car and drove off towards Sunnydale again.



Willow and Tara waved as the car left Knotts, this party had been a success as the girls got what they wanted, even Ryan and Gracie and Morgan seemed very happy with what they got.



Tara turned her head towards Dawn and smiled lightly. “Hey, do you think you can watch Gracie and Morgan and Ryan tomorrow night from 7:30-11 ish? If that is okay with you and only if you want to.”



“I’d love to!”



“Great!”



“I’ll see you tomorrow then Tara.”



Dawn and Buffy got in the car and Buffy backed up and rolled down the window. “Thanks for inviting us it was a great party.”



“Your welcome! Thanks for coming!” The flame haired Wiccan responded.



Buffy then drove off in a quick speed because it was 3:45 and she had to get to her job soon and Dawn had to do some college homework.



Tara who was putting Morgan and Gracie and Ryan inside the car on their car seats, she smiled lightly at all of them after she buckled them all in she got inside the car and waited for Willow to get in so she could drive back home.



The red head opened the passenger side door and got in slowly shutting the door after she got in and put on her seatbelt and looked back at the girls. “Happy birthday you guys!”



“Thanks mommy!”



Tara buckled up and started the engine and drove back home, little did she know she was in for a big surprise tomorrow night.

Why does Dawn have to do college homework if she doesn't go to college?

Is the creepy black figure Spike by any chance? Maybe Spike has come back human? Or do they just not like him enough to invite him?

Chapter 4: Dawn The Baby Sitter!



“Bye Willow, Bye Tara! Have a fun time at the party you guys are going to!” Called Dawn from the door as she waved at the walking couple, sighing deeply she closed the door. “Alright girls what do you guys want to do?”



Gracie who had been sitting by the window, was watching both of her mommies leave. “Why’d they leave…” her voice sounded very upset as if she knew something bad was going to happen.



“Aw, stop being a little baby!” Ryan said as she crossed her arms.



“I am not a baby!!!!”



“You are too!”



“Girls!” Dawn said slowly as she glanced from Ryan to Gracie. “Gracie is not a baby okay Ryan? She’s just as old as you but she’s younger than you by 6 minutes about..I think?”



Morgan who was sitting in the kitchen drawing a picture of a fairy, the fairy had dark black hair and blood red colored eyes, she didn’t know why she was drawing it but something was telling her to. Her sapphire eyes concentrated on the picture as she colored in her dark purple dress that had little spikes at the end of it. Then after drawing that she drew the legs slowly and carefully and drawing little tights that had X’s all over them and they were dark purple matching her dress, then she made her wear black high heels.



Dawn slowly stepped over to Morgan and looked at her curiously. “What are you drawing?” Voice sounded very happy as she glanced down at the picture then her eyes widened in shock. “Uh Morgan… Why’d you draw that?”



Morgan shrugged because she really didn’t know why she drew it, something just told her to draw it. “I don’t know, I guess I felt like drawing it…”



Dawn slowly took the picture and folded it in half and put it on Tara and Willows desk for them to look at, she was going to have to tell them what Morgan drew, something about that picture was not right. She sat down on the couch and turned on the television.



“Well guys, do you want to watch some television or do you guys want to play N64 which I got for you on your birthday and I got you some games today because I was well bored and needed to buy something.”



Gracie, Ryan and Morgan all ran to the television and picked up there controllers. Ryan’s was Red, Grace’s was Purple and Morgan had a Blue colored one and Dawn plugged hers in which was gray.



“Want to play… Mario Race?”



The girls nodded as Dawn turned on the game, Dawn picked Mario while Morgan picked Toad and Ryan and Grace started to argue again…



“I want Yoshi!”



“No I get him first! I am the oldest!”



“But I’m the youngest!”



Dawn sighed deeply as she looked from Gracie to Ryan, raising three triplets was hard and she knew how it felt now for Tara and Willow but it had to be much much worse.

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



Tara sat down on the white bench, her sapphire eyes were looking at the woman she loved more than anything in the world, Willow, she slowly put her hand in Willows lap thinking about something.



“What are you thinking about TarBear? Aren’t I supposed to be thinking?” Willow teased as she poked Tara on the shoulder.



“Oh, I can think if I want to… I’m just thinking about the girls… Gracie has gotten really upset every time I went out without her…”



Willows emerald eyes looked concernedly at Tara, she could tell by the tone in Taras voice that she was worried and uncomfortable, she thought for a moment and then pulled Tara into her arms. “They’re okay, I hope… most likely they are because Dawn will call us if we have any troubles… you know that.”



Tara nodded slowly as she closed her eyes feeling safe and more comfortable and less timid now that she was in her lovers arms.



Willow kissed Tara on the top of her head and smiled. “I love you.”



“I love you too.”



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



8:15 read the clock in Tara and Willows home, and Dawn knew it was time for the girls to get to bed, they played Mario Racing for a long time and every time Gracie and Ryan would argue about who was better.



“Alright… Ryan… Gracie… Morgan time for be-” Dawn said as she turned her head seeing that Ryan and Gracie and Morgan were sleeping leaning on each other while asleep and Ryan was leaning against the couch. Dawn smiled brightly as she thought *How cute!*



Dawn slowly walked over to Gracie and picked her up, she slowly walked up to Gracie’s room and sat Gracie down on the bed making her lean against her little bed post thing. She quickly dressed Gracie in her Pajamas and put Gracie’s overalls and t-shirt in the hamper as she put Gracie under the covers. Quietly leaving she kept the door open and the hall light on so if Gracie got scared she could find her way down stairs and another reason was so she could hear and check up on Gracie.



Morgan woke up slowly as she looked around, she noticed that Dawn had picked her up and carried her to her room, so she wasn’t in the living room no more. Her green eyes glanced around nervously hearing noises out side her window.



“Stay away you can’t hurt me.”



Morgan put the covers over her face as she closed her eyes tightly trying to fall asleep.



Dawn was sitting down in the living room after putting all the girls to bed, she was quite tired herself but she needed to stay up just a little bit more, like 2 hours about it was 9:00 p.m and they were supposed to be back by 10.



“hmm… I’ll just turn on the T.v and…” Dawn was cut off when she heard screams from upstairs, she nearly threw herself off the couch and ran upstairs and entering all of the girls rooms one by one.



“OH MY GOD!!!!”



TBC



Btw: Thank you for the Feed back people.
