O.K. it seems no one liked my first fic. 
That´s ok, I´ll try one more time. Love it, hate it... And as to my mistakes, truth be told I grew up learning 7 languages so I never really got to know one. And finding beta isn´t easy so...And why does always Tara get to be the one with a child? That is so not fair. Willow would be great mother...

Summary: Willow is the biggest animator for anime in the world, she lives in Tokio but comes home for Christmas and meets beautiful writer Tara...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Willow Rosenberg sat in her seat and enjoyed the movie. She was finaly taking a break and coming home. It made her feel very warm inside. She missed her family, Buffy, Faith, Xander and his wacky wife Anya, their little twins who were just adorable... Living in Japan was great for Willow. She could do what she loved the most- draw. And get paid for it really good. And to think people told her she was crazy if she belived for one second that some american kid was going to be the best animator of anime! She just needed to make some drastic changes in her life. Like leave Sunnydale, her family and friends and move to Tokio where she knew nobody.
It was a crazy decision for an eighteen year old girl who just got out of high school but it was a right decision. This was the first time in ten years that Willow took some free time and decided to go back to Sunnydale. Her friends visited her over the years but she never really wanted to go back home. To a place where people tought of her as a reliable geek who can do only one thing right- study. Even her best friends never knew of her passion to anime. She spent most of her free time watching anime like Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne... And ever since she was just a little kid she knew how to draw that specific characters with big eyes. But the thing that attracted her to anime was the fact that those characters displayed so many emotions. They over reacted and exagerated but they were full of love, and never afraid to express it. That´s what little Willow liked. And that´s what Willow wanted to show to other kids. Make a better world for them.
A movement pulled her out of her thoughts. Little girl shifted in her sleep and reddish hair fell on her tiny face. Willow gently smiled and moved strains of hair behinde what she thought was the most perfect ear in the world. Little green eyes opened and girl simled.
- Mama-chan?
- Hello there sleeping beauty.
Willow always smiled when her daughter used japanise words or phrases that she somehow mixed with english and made a completly new language.
- Are we...in America?
She smiled at uncertain english and her heart felt lighter when she actually heard little girl use english rather than japanese. It was a big problem for her. All of their friends spoke japanese and her co workers also spoke japanese, somehow they just stoped speaking english. And even though she taught her kid english it still seemed foreign coming from the little mouth.
- No honey, we are over the ocean. Look outside.
She heard gasp as child looked through the window.
- Mama-chan look at the cloudz and the sky. Everything iz so beauthiluf.
- Beautiful, my little girl. And do you know what is even more beautiful than all of that?
- What?
- You.
Child giggled and huged her mother.
- Now kid, what were we talking about your behaviour when we get to Sunnydale?
A thoughtful look apeared on girl´s face. Same one her mother got whenever she thought about something.
- I have to speak only english. I can not tease Aunt Buffy like I did over the net that one time when I kept...
- Yeah, I know that. What else?
- I must be really, really good.
- And?
- I am zo not allowed to beat up cousin Jesse and cousin Jenny.
Willow smiled and pulled her child closer.
- Right, cause all that beating stuff is wrong, even if someone is bad and hits your best friend because she is different, ok?
- Wokay mama-chan, you know the best.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You have got to be kidding me!!!! She is coming here? And she is your best friend? How come I didn´t know this before?
Small blonde stood on the kitchen table and yelled at bigger blonde who looked scared.
- Shush Jewel, you are going to wake up your mummy and she is going to kill me. She worked late last night and I promised her I will feed you in the morning so you don´t make big fuss.
- But you didn´t tell me you know magic lady. She is like world´s greatest... tell me again how you call them?
- Animators.
- Animator. She is the best.
Buffy Summers smiled at her surogat niece and pulled her in big hug.
- What is that awful noise?
- Your daughter.
- Well thank you Auntie Buffy.
Tara Mclay pulled her daughter of the table at the same time pouring herself a cup of coffee.
- First honey, get of the table. Second, good morning. And third, love you.
Jewel giggled and kissed her mother. Tara was a single mother. Tara was a writer. Tara was tired. She just wanted to sleep all day, but that was imposible. She shared a house with Buffy ever since Buffy´s sister went to college and Tara came to town pregnant and alone. Buffy offered her friendship and her home. Now Buffy´s best friend was coming over for a month and Tara wanted to help.
- Come on girls, let´s go and get my best friend.
- Magic Lady!!!!!!!
Tara just smiled and walked to bathroom. This was going to be a long day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunnydale airport wasn´t really big. Only couple of international flights landed there. Willow was just glad hers did. She was now waiting for her lugage her daughter asleep in her arms. To Willow it seemed like all kids do was sleep. There were people all around her and it made her nervous. She really wasn´t crowd lover. It always seemed to drive her crazy. Relatives were hugging, bussiness people shook hands... And all she could think of was how the hell is she going to get their bags with child in her arms. Though she never had to worry about it because something whined, screamed her name and trew herself around her neck waking child and scarring Willow. Whe she realised who it was she just smiled and pulled her friend in for another hug.
- Hi Buffy, I am so glad to see you.
But Buffy wasn´t paying any attention to Willow and neither did dark haired girl that popped up behind Buffy.
- Oh Red, is this IT?
- Yes Faith, and please don´t call her it.
- Oh come her sweet child. Let Auntie B. and Auntie Faith take a look at you.
Willow was forced to handle the child to Buffy and Faith. She shook her head and turned to find their bags. As she did so she felt light pull at her skirt. Lowering her head she saw beautiful blue eyes looking right at her.
- You are my magic lady.
Child said and smiled before launching herself in Willow´s arms. Though she was surprised she hugged child and smiled.
- And who are you pretty lady?
- Jewel Danielle Mclay what do you think you´re doing?
Willow winced as Jewel made face.
- Guess you are Jewel?
Tiny nodd was her only confirmation before her eyes landed on blonde woman with deep blue eyes. She felt her knees go weak and felt butterflies in her stomache because in front of her stood the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.
- Sorry, she usually doesn´t jump on people like that. I don´t know what got into her.
Blonde apologized and tried to take Jewel from Willow´s arms.
- That´s ok. Kinda missed all the having someone around my neck feeling when crazy aunties took my kid. I´m Willow.
- Tara. You-you have a kid?
As they shook hands Willow pointed towards Buffy and Faith who were making little child giggle.
- Oh, goddess. I haven´t seen them this bad since I gave birth to Jewel. And they spoiled her so you better be careful.
Tara smiled and Willow smiled. They would probably just keep smiling at each other if small voice didn´t interupt their smilin fest.
- Hello pretty lady.
They both looked down to see small redhead who finaly menaged to get out of her aunts´ grasp.
- Hello to you to. What is your name?
- Yuki.
- That´s a very nice name Yuki.
Yuki shily pulled behind her mother blushing furiously.
- That´s weird name.
Another kid said looking down on the floor that seemed very far away.
- Yeah, well what´s your name?
- Jewel.
- That would sound weird back at home.
Jewel jumped from Willow´s embrace and stood infront of Yuki.
- But my name has a meaning. I´m a jewel. Right mommy?
She looked at Tara with her big eyes and Willow knew that nothing could ever be denied anything when she put a pretty smile like that on.
- Yes honey. You are my little Jewel.
- But my name has a meaning too. Mama-chan gave it to me because on the day I was born there were cherrie flowers falling from the trees everywhere. It looked as it snowed, so mama-chan named me snow princess, Yuki.
Jewel considered that fact for a while then pulled Yuki by her hand and started walking towards exit.
- You know what snow princess, you and I are going to have so much fun. I mean grown ups are fun and all, but you sometimes need normal, healthy, kid company, you understand what I´m saying?
- Got ya sister! They are like totaly weird!
Willow stood. Tara stood. Buffy and Faith stood.
- We are in some deep trouble, right?
All they could do is nodd and follow the children. Buffy and Faith grabed bags so Willow just walked by Tara feeling like something big is coming this holiday season. Something that will change her life forever.

and glad you love this story. Sorry if it´s kinda hard to read. Well Willow and Tara never met because Tara came to Sunnydale a year after Dawn went to college (it´s in the story... I think), and that would be like 
Well Tara is in Dawn´s room with Jewel since her room became guest room for Willow and Yuki. I´ll make it clear in the story. And as for Faith...
guess where she sleeps...
