Thank you all for your replies.

I should be able to post the next chapter tonight.

Before i even start writing now, i would like to apologise if its rubbish. As a virgin, having never experienced it, it could be difficult. But on chat yesterday i got told it just use your imagination, and pretend its happening in your head. I wish it was really happening!!!

Hello everyone. Here's the next chapter. Comments and replies would be nice. But be nice, i'm still a virgin, never done any of this.



********************************************************************************************



Chapter 7



Tara pulls up the car outside a large house.

“Here, we are, my house,” she smiles.

“Big,” replies Willow.

“Come on, we’ll go inside!” she grins.

Willow and Tara get out of the car. As Willow walks round to meet Tara, Tara grabs her hand and drags her inside the house.

As soon as the front door is shut Willow feels herself being swung round and pinned against a wall.

“Hey, Willow, like the house?” says Tara with a big grin on her face.

“I haven’t seen it yet. But lets start with the bedroom!” she grins in reply.

She feels Tara’s lip press against her own and she gives almost all the passion she has into the kiss. Still leaving plenty for what is coming up next.

“Come on then,” grins Tara taking hold of Willow’s hand.



The bedroom is quite large with a queen-sized bed in it. As Willow looks around a bit she feels like it’s already home. Which she thinks is stupid, as she’s only just met Tara. But it’s strange how much she’s fallen for Tara, and Tara for her.

Tara is standing in front of Willow waiting for her to finish looking around.

“Come on, you’ve seen enough!” she smiles.

“No I haven’t! I haven’t seen you yet!” she says backing Tara onto the bed.

Tara is now sitting on the bed with Willow straddling her. Both of them are nervous with anticipation. Tara also knows Willow’s never been out with or slept with a female before. But as she looks at Willow, she sees no fear in her at all, just want and need.

“It’s just as well it’s warm tonight!” says Willow playing with the collar on Tara’s shirt.

Just Willow twisting the material in between her fingers causes Tara to gulp with excitement.

“Well it’s about to get warmer, I think!” she replies.

“Too right it is!” smiles Willow gently pushing Tara onto the bed, laying her down.

Willow stares and smiles at the woman lying underneath her. She can feel the love pour out of Tara and it comforts Willow immensely.



As Willow bends down to kiss Tara, Tara moves her body slightly and it makes Willow’s lips connect with her collarbone instead of her lips.

“Oh you are eager!” grins Willow kissing her again but just slightly lower.



Suddenly out of nowhere Tara flips Willow over and is on top.

“Yes I am eager Willow, very!” says Tara in Willow’s ear, blowing warm air over it in the process.

“Mmm,” sighs Willow.

Tara begins to nip Willow’s earlobe which makes the small red head release a couple of quiet moans. Tara wants more and moves her hands over Willow’s small t-shirt. Her hands finally stop on Willow’s breast after brushing over them a few times. She can feel the nipples get hard and begins to kneed her fingers over them.

“Oh God, Tara!” groans Willow.

“You like?” she smiles as she carries on playing with Willow’s breasts.

“I…I, like a lot!” she gasps.



Willow is getting hot, very hot and just wants, needs more flesh.

“Tara, just take it off!” says Willow.

“You sure?”

“Oh yeah!”

Tara gently takes off the offending piece of clothing and kisses Willow’s bare belly and plants butterfly kisses over her shoulders and face. By now Willow can hardly keep still, and grabs hold of Tara’s shirt, unbuttons it slowly and slips it gently down Tara’s arms. Willow still doesn’t have enough of Tara’s flesh showing, she craves more. So she stretches her arms around Tara. Finding the clasp of Tara’s bra, she fumbles around and manages to unhook it. Suddenly she pauses. Tara notices this.

“Will, are you ok?” she says kissing Willow.

“Yeah, I’m good. Very good infact!” she says in a determined voice and rips the bra from Tara and flings it across the room.

“So you are, you little minx!” giggles Tara.

As Willow’s eyes register what is in front of them, she gasps. Not a scared or shocked gasp but in ore of everything Tara. Tara simply smiles at Willow’s reaction and takes off Willow’s bra as well.



As they stare lovingly at each other Willow feels something on her breasts. She looks down and sees two Tara hands on them. Tara notices Willow watching her. She smiles at Willow and removes her hands. She hears Willow groan at the loss on skin and contact and she kisses Willow’s breasts. As she does so she feels them harden. She also notices Willow has got goose bumps on her skin.

“You cold?” she says moving her tongue over one of the nipples.

“No,”

Willow wasn’t cold at all; she was in fact burning up. She had, had sex before with men, but it had never been like this. What she is experiencing now is something totally different all together and it’s totally blowing her mind.

“Well come in here anyway,” smiles Tara having moved to the head of the bed and lying under the covers.

Willow does what’s she’s told and crawls over to Tara,



Willow climbs into the bed and moves all the attention to Tara’s breasts. She circles her fingers carefully round the nipples, which are already hard. Willow begins to suck on one side, she realises Tara is enjoying it and switches sides. As she fondles Tara’s top half her hands venture to Tara’s bottom half. She feels jeans and wants them off immediately. Willow unbuttons the jeans and takes them off as fast as possible. Unknown to Willow she has quickly brushed her hand over Tara’s centre. Tara moans loudly, the sounds coming from Tara, stimulates very sense in Willow’s body. Willow moves one of her hands to Tara’s knickers.

“Tara! You’re so wet!” she gasps, slowly moving her hand over the material.

“Willow! Take them off now! I need you so bad!” she gasps in a high pitch voice.

“My pleasure!” smirks Willow.

Both girls are totally turned on and soaking wet. The throbbing in between their legs is getting unbearable. As soon as the knickers are off, Willow feels her own knickers coming off. Tara kisses Willow on the lips with force and hunger. Willow is surprised to feel fingers searching around her bottom half.

“Ahh! Oh my, oh my God! Tara!” she almost screams in pleasure.

Tara uses her fingers to stroke Willow’s clit. As soon as she hears Willow’s cry for more she begins to rub harder bringing Willow almost total release.



Just as Tara was about to use her fingers inside Willow she got flipped onto her back. Willow was now on top, in charge. In charge of pleasuring Tara. That’s what she wants the most. She shoves her hand down and feels around. As she hears Tara moan she knows she’s found what she’s been searching for. Her fingers move around the area, every so often brushing the small bundle of nerves. She can feel and see the need in Tara’s eyes and body.

“Willow, ohh! I need you so bad! Inside of me, ohh!” Tara manages to get out.

As she says this she feels Willow’s finger enter her.

“Ahh! Will…ooo…www!” she moans.

Tara wants them to fell the experience together so she also inserts a finger.

“Tara!” squeals Willow knowing she’s nearly there.

Both girls put in another finger at the same time. Hips swaying together, they feel each others orgasms come at the same time.



Both girls flop into the mattress exhausted but happy.

“Tara?” gasps Willow trying to catch her breath, after the most special moment of her life.

“Yes Willow,” smiles Tara.

“That was amazing!” she sighs.

“I know. That was wonderful!” she replies and kisses Willow passionately on the lips.



Their lips part and Willow can smell the scent of them. The smell of the two of them being very together. Suddenly out of the corner of her eye she spots something. Something that shocks her and slightly scares her.

“Tara! What the hell is that?!” says Willow.

Tara’s face turns to an expression of panic and horror.

End of last chapter



Their lips part and Willow can smell the scent of them. The smell of the two of them being very together. Suddenly out of the corner of her eye she spots something. Something that shocks her and slightly scares her.

“Tara! What the hell is that?!” says Willow.

Tara’s face turns to an expression of panic and horror.

Chapter 8



“That’s um, a picture,” says Tara

Willow has spotted a picture on Tara’s bedside table, which surprises her but also terrifies her.

“Yes Tara! I know it’s a picture. But who of?” says Willow.

“It’s one of me with three kids,” she says worriedly.

“And are they your kids?” asks Willow still in shock.

“Um, yes!” replies Tara quietly.

“And you never mentioned it!” says Willow raising her voice slightly.

“Well, we never got round to talking about it,” she winces.

“So you weren’t going to tell me?” says Willow.

“Willow, I was, honest,” she says almost in tears.

“Yeah, so when were you planning on telling me?” says Willow louder and fiercer than she had wanted.

“I was, I don’t know when, soon. Willow I really love you. Don’t be mad!” she sobs.

Oh my God! This is just too much to take in! Thinks Willow.

“I’m not mad. Just very surprised. I need to think about this,” she says getting out of bed and walking to where her clothes lye.

“I’m really sorry. It’s just every time I meet someone, this happens because I have kids. I can’t just take them back, can I?” she sobs.

“How old are they? How come you had them?” asks Willow getting dressed.

“I was 16. I was going out with this guy. I thought I really loved him. I got pregnant by accident. I has 3 kids, triplets and he stayed for about a year, then left. But we keep I touch for the kids sake. They’re with him now,” she says.

“So they’re nine years old?” says Willow.

“Yeah,”

Willow walks towards the door and is just about to leave.

“Willow! Don’t go!” says Tara.

“I have too. I have to go and think. It’s been one hell of a night!” she says.

“I know, I’m sorry. I take it you hate me now!” sobs Tara.

“No, I don’t hate you. I’ll see you at work,” says Willow.

“Well let me drive you home,” asks Tara.

“I’ll walk. It’s ok. I don’t live that far away. Bye Tara!” she says and walks out of the bedroom and out of the house.

As soon as Tara hears the front door slam shut, she bursts into tears and cries herself to sleep.



Meanwhile Willow has walked home and is at the front door.

Right Willow, act normal! She thinks.

She opens the front door. There only seems to be one light on. It’s coming from the living room. Willow quickly hangs up her jacket and walks in. As she walks in she sees Buffy sat on the sofa with Chris. Well they aren’t sitting, more like lying on each other kissing.



Willow is just about to leave them in peace when Buffy spots her. Buffy sits up pushing Chris off her.

“Hey Willow. Come back in here,” she grins.

“No, it’s ok. You two carry on making-out. I shall go off to bed,” she sighs pretending to yawn.

“It’s ok Willow. Stop pretending to yawn! And what’s wrong? I know there’s something!” says Buffy.

“God, you know me too well!” sighs Willow.

“It’s just as well, ‘cos I bet you weren’t going to tell me!” she says.

“Ok! Before we get to girly here. I think I’ll leave,” says Chris smiling.

“You sure?” asks Buffy.

Chris nods his head, grabs his coat and leaves.



As soon as he’s gone. Buffy sits normally on the sofa and pats the space next to her, signalling for Willow to sit next to her. So she does.

“So Will. What’s wrong?” asks Buffy putting her arm round Willow.

”I really don’t want to talk about it,” she says.

“Oh come on. Oh my. I’ve just noticed, you’re lippy is smudged and your hair is a mess!” says Buffy.

“Oh cheers!” sighs Willow.

“No, I mean. You’ve been having sex or snogging or something! I know, believe me!” smirks Buffy.

“Ok yeah I did! That was about the only good thing about the night!” says Willow raising her voice.

“Hey Will! It’s ok. But I thought you were going for a drink with your new boss?” says Buffy calmingly.

“I did!”

“Oh, oh my God! You didn’t did you? Your boss?” gasps Buffy.

“Um yeah I did actually. Big deal. It’s only my boss. Nothing else. It was just sex, that’s it!” shouts Willow beginning to cry.

“It’s ok, just shocked, not about the boss thing. It’s just the straight girl thing. You’re not now then?” says Buffy hugging Willow.

“I am straight! It was just a one off thing! Anyway there is a big thing in between us, to even be able to start going out,” cries Willow.

“Oh God. I know. The teasing at work,”

“No, I don’t care about that! She’s got kids!” howls Willow.

“Kids?!” says Buffy shocked.

“Yeah I know. Three, nine year olds. Two girls and one boy. After we did it I saw a picture. Only then did I realise. She never even told me!” says Willow trying to stop crying.

“I’m sure she was going too!”

“That’s what she said!”

“Well believe her then. You must have fallen for her big time. Because I know you very well Willow. And you wouldn’t just sleep with anyone if you didn’t love ‘em!” says Buffy.

“I know. We both said we love each other, but I don’t know if that’s enough!” she says bowing her head down.

“Well you’d be dating her, not her kids!”

“Yes I know, but it makes everything more complicated. You know?”

“Yes I understand. I think you should sleep on it, and see how you feel in the morning. What do you say?” smiles Buffy.

“Good idea. And Buffy? Thanks for listening to me,” smiles Willow.

“It’s fine, what are best friends for? Now off you go. You look knackered,” smiles Buffy.



Willow walks to her bedroom; slightly happier then she was when she arrived.

She gets changed and gets into bed. As she lies in bed she can’t stop thinking about the night.

My, my. How do I get myself into these things? Tomorrow is going to be a disaster at work. I mean I have to see and talk to Tara. It isn’t her fault. Even though it is. God I even babble in my head. I do love her still I suppose. I know she loves me, I’ve already established that. God I need sleep. Well when I wake up. I’ll have to make up my mind. And I need to speak to Tara.

AxMan936- Thank you for your reply. I'm really happy you like it so much. And i have to admit, i don't think Tara did really think about it too much. She fell in love with Willow and that was it. But who can really blame her!!



sam darls- I know 3 kids is a lot, but it makes it kindda more interesting to write.



The Rose24- Yes, they did move a bit too fast i agree. So now they have to pay to the price. You know finding out about the kids. But it should be ok in the end, hopefully!!





TaraBaby77- Glad you like my fic. They should both sort it soon.





Thanks to the people who have replied, or are going to reply (you know what i mean) The next part should be up later.



Love Hannah

Here is a new update, enjoy!

********************************************************************************************



Chapter 9



It’s Wednesday morning and Tara is fast a sleep. She is exhausted from the night before. She hasn’t had much sleep as she keep getting nightmares. They’re mainly of Willow shouting at her and in her head the evening keeps getting acted out, again and again.

God, I wish I would have just told her everything. I mean we might not be going out as a result, but we could still be friends. That’s more then we are now. Well I don’t think she likes me anymore. Oh everything is such a disaster! She thinks to herself.



Suddenly she feels the bed move. No, it’s not the bed!

“Mummy, Mummy!” she hears.

“You’re late for work!”

Tara opens her eyes and sees two girls crawling across the bed towards her.

“Huh?” she replies just waking up.

“Silly, mummy!” says a small blonde girl.

“Yeah, you’re late for work. It’s 9.30 already!” smiles a smaller red haired girl.

“Really?” she asks.

“Yes. You’re alarm obviously didn’t go off,” smiles the blonde.

The two girls are Tara’s daughters. The blonde haired girl is Emma and her twin is a red head called Holly. Tara wonders where her little boy is.

“Where’s Josh?” she asks.

“Oh he’s on the computer in the study. On his boring computer games!” grins Holly at Emma.

They both start to giggle.

“You’re so lucky you’re on holiday. You’ve got over five weeks of no school. I bet you’re happy?” smiles Tara.

She is trying to avoid going to work for as long as possible.

“Oh yes, no school! Woohoo!” both girls say in unison.

“Dad just dropped us off. He saw the door was unlocked and guessed you home. So he didn’t need to stay,” says Holly.

“That’s ok,” replies Tara.

The two girls climb higher up the bed. They sit either side of Tara and hug her.

“Hey, Mummy?” asks Emma.

“Yes?”

“How come you’re not wearing anything?” she giggles.

Oh no! I’m not am I? Help! She thinks.

“Well I was hot last night, that’s all,” she lies.

“Yeah, it was quite hot where we were too,” says Holly.

“Well if I’m late for work, you two better let me get ready!” sighs Tara.

“Oh yeah, sorry,” says Holly and kisses Tara and hops of the bed.

“Ok, we’ll go. I’ll tell Josh not to come in, as you’re um, not wearing much!” giggles Emma kissing Tara.

Both girls run out of the room giggling and shut the door.



Ten minutes later Tara walks into the large kitchen fully dressed. As she walks in she sees Emma and Holly chasing each other round the kitchen. As they speed round the kitchen squealing and laughing they almost knock over Tara.

“Hey! Hey! Slow down!” she laughs grabbing both girls by the hand as they zoom past.

“Hi Mummy, sorry,” grins Emma.

“You’re not supposed to run around the kitchen. You can go out side if you want to run,” she smiles.

“Oh no, we want to hear about your date yesterday,” smiles Holly ever so innocently.

“My date?” giggles Tara in a bit of shock.

“Yeah, you went out with another girl last night. Didn’t you?” say Emma.

“Yeah I went out with another woman. But it wasn’t a date. We’re just friends,” she says.

Yeah Tara, friends! I don’t think so!

“Come on Mummy. We know you like females. We are like nine. We kind of know that!” says Emma.

“What’s it called? You’re a um…” says Holly.

“Lesbian!” shouts Josh walking past the door.

Josh also has blonde hair. Unlike his twin sisters he looks older than his age, and tries to act it too.

“That’s it!” shouts Holly “Thanks!”

“My pleasure! Mum?” replies Josh, standing at the kitchen door.

“Yes?” sighs Tara.

“Can I go and play with Tom?”

“Where is he?”

“Just outside. I won’t be long, promise,” he smiles.

“Ok then. But remember Aunt Faith will be here soon,” she says.

“Ok, thanks. See ya later!” he says rushing out of the house.

“So, Mummy. Who’s this woman friend, not girlfriend you went out with last night!” asks Emma.

“It’s someone called Willow,” she says.

“Cool, my names Holly. It’s a bit like Willow, funny!”

“Yes. She has red hair just like you and your dad too,” smiles Tara at her daughters.

“Can’t we meet her?” begs Emma.

“I don’t know. Maybe? Well after the grilling from you two, I’d better get to work,” she smiles.

“Ok, see ya!” smiles Emma.

They hug Tara and Tara gives them a goodbye kiss. As she is almost out of the door she says something.

”Oh girls be good for Aunt Faith. She’ll be here in about two minutes. Bye bye,”

She then gets into her car and drives off.



Meanwhile at the shop Willow is pacing backwards and forwards in her and Tara’s office.

She’s late, like over an hour late! Maybe she’s not coming in today. Maybe she’s ill. No, it’s probably because of me! Why did I have to be such an idiot and bitch to her? I’m so stupid! It’s all my fault. I really want to see her today. I hope she turns up. Babbles Willow in her head.

Willow decides to ask Anya is she knows anything. So she walks out of the office and up to the counter.

“Hey Anya,” she says trying to sound cheerful.

“Oh hi Willow. Have you got any idea where Tara is today?” she asks.

“No. I was just coming to ask you the same thing,” she sighs.

“Maybe she’s ill or something. God knows, could be anything,” replies Anya.



At that moment the bell on the door rings and Willow and Anya turn to face the door. They see Tara rush in. She looks in a good mood. She seems to be smiling to herself. But as soon as her eyes meet Willow’s her smile disappears. Willow notices this and is disappointed.

“Hi Tara. Where have you been?” smiles Anya, unaware of Tara’s change in mood.

“Hi Anya good to se you. My alarm clock didn’t come on,” she says walking past Willow.

“Hi Tara,” says Willow trying to smile.

She gets ignored. Willow knows that Tara heard her, but chose not to respond.

At this moment Anya can tell something is wrong, but decides to keep her mouth shut. Which is a first for Anya.



As Willow sees Tara disappear into the office she decides to follow. So she follows Tara into the office and shuts the door.

“Hi Tara,” Willow tries again.

Yet again, no response. She watches Tara hang up her coat and sit at her desk in silence.

“So, nice day today isn’t it?” says Willow, just hoping for any response.

None.

“Fine!” she says in a grumpy voice and sits at her desk and faces the opposite direction from Tara.



Two minutes pass as both women work in total silence. Finally the silence is broken.

“We need to talk!” they both say at the same time.

TBC...

I, too, love Tara's kids. So Tara has a thing for redheads? Heh, that's cute.



But my favorite part of this chapter was the end (strangely enough, but it was funny), when they both just said "We have to talk" at the same time. It's just the kind of thing that would happen to them.

Willow: Hey Buff. One more thing. Buffy: Yeah? Willow: I’m gay. Buffy: Okay, Will. Xander owes me ten bucks.

[The Rose24]

This is repetitive, but I love Tara's kids. I hope they have a very good conversation and work things out.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[JulesP600]

Well, I am joining the bandwagon and have to say Tara's kids are cute too!!



Excellent update....wonder what they will say when they talk?

The only way to have a friend is to be one

[screeminguitar]

I agree they both need to talk and give the apologies of



1. Willow---for walking out on Tara

2. Tara---for not mentioning she had kids



Then--move on and realize what they feel!!!

My thoughts anyway. I'm sure you will write it a lot better!

Thanks for this cool fic



Rock on,

[musicmad10]

Helloooooo! Everybody! Thanks for all your replies, much appreciated. Hope you like the next part. It's basically all talking but, i hope it's ok anyway.

********************************************************************************************



Chapter 10



“Willow,” sighs Tara.

“Tara, I’m so sor…” starts Willow.

“No. It’s ok Willow. You shouldn’t be the one apologizing,” says Tara bowing her head down letting her hair cover her face.

“Tara. I should be apologizing. Las night was um…”

“I know. I bet you think it was awful!” says Tara beginning to sob quietly.

Not quietly enough as Willow hears her crying and her heart feels as if it’s going to break.

How can she think for one moment last night was horrible? It was amazing! Well apart from the last bit. Well it was amazing, just in a different way! Thinks Willow.

“Tara?” says Willow walking over to Tara.

As she gets closer to Tara she hears the crying get louder. Willow gets in front of Tara and crouch down.

“Tara, are you ok?” she says lifting her hand to Tara’s cheek and wiping away some of the tears.

“It’s ok. You don’t have to be nice to me!” she sobs.

“Yes I do. I want to be nice to you. Nothing less!” replies Willow.

“Why?” she simply asks, as if she doesn’t understand why anyone would be nice to her.

“Why do you think silly?” she replies playfully “What I said last night is true, still is, honestly,” smiles Willow.



Tara lifts her head to look at Willow. Willow sighs as she sees Tara’s face red and tear stained. She just wants to leap up and take her into her arms and just hug her. But she resists.

“You mean, you?” says Tara.

“Yes, I do still love you. Just because you have kids doesn’t change the way I feel. It can’t. You had them last night too, I just didn’t know about them,” smiles Willow.

“Oh Willow!” smiles Tara and pulls Willow into a hug.

Willow is happy to have the contact with Tara. It doesn’t feel awkward, it feels, good.

“But Tara, I think we should go slow. Just be friends, for now at least?” says Willow as they part.

“I agree, just friends,” grins Tara.

“So, now officially friends again, no ones has any more biog secrets to tell do they?” asks Willow.

“No other big secrets. What about you?” asks Tara.

“No, no biggies with me either. Well I don’t think so,” smiles Willow.

“Um, Willow? I kind of a have a problem though!” says Tara.

“What is it Tara. You can tell me anything,”

“Well my kids asked about you. Well not you exactly. They wanted to know who my date was last night! I said you are just a friend. Which you are anyway. Well now you are. And they kindda said they’d like to meet you. I said I don’t know. That’s my problem Will,” says Tara.

“Oh, I see. I can meet them if you’d like. As a friend, yeah. I would like to if you don’t mind?” grins Willow.

“You Star! Really?” grins Tara.

“Yea, sure. Why not?” smiles Willow.

“Cool. So we can arrange something later, for time soonish then?”

“Yeah. But I think I’m going to visit Anya. I haven’t seen much of her today,” says Willow.

“Sure, I’ll come with you,”

“What’s she been doing?”



Willow and Tara walk into the shop as Tara wipes her eyes so she looks normal.

“Well she’s here with her fiancée…” starts Tara.

“Xander!” screams Willow seeing the young man behind the counter with Anya.

“Yeah, Xander. Hey how’d you know that?” says Tara puzzled.

“Willow! Is it really you? Wow!” he laughs and runs over to Willow.

“Yeah it’s really me, oh wow!” smiles Willow as Xander pulls her into a hug.

Anya and Tara stare at the pair and glance at each other in a look of shock.



The two let go of each other.

“Oh wow, I’m so happy!” smiles Xander.

“Hey, you two love birds!” giggles Tara.

“Hey, he’s my love, um, hunk!” says Anya.

“Are we missing something here?” asks Tara.

“Oh yeah we know each other!” says Willow.

“Well we never guessed!” smiles Tara.

Willow sticks at her tongue out at Tara. Tara sticks hers out as a reply to Willow.

“Yes. When we’re ready you two!” sighs Anya at Tara and Willow.

“Sorry, Miss Anya!” grins Willow cheekily.

“We um, were best friends until the end of college, then we kind of lost contact. As Willow here left for university and I’m now working!” smiles Xander.

“Wow nice story guys, oh and girls!” says Anya.

“Yeah, can I get your number, you know phone number?” asks Willow.

“Sure. Paper is in the office right?” asks Xander.

“Yeah. Help yourself,” smiles Tara.

“Come on then Will!” says Xander.



Willow and Xander link hands and walk into the office.

“Looks like they used to be more then just best friends!” giggles Tara.

“No, I don’t think so. And about that,” says Anya.

“Oh don’t worry I was only kidding. Well I don’t know they might have!”

“No, I don’t mean about them!” sighs Anya.

“Oh what is it Anya?”

“You two, is anything up with you two, you know anything going on?”

“What? Me and Xander?! No, no Anya I wouldn’t!” says Tara shocked.

“Silly! I didn’t mean Xander. I mean Willow!”

“Willow?”

“Yeah. Are you two going out or something?”

“What? Me and Willow?” asks Tara.

“Well duh! No, I mean you and me! No don’t even answer that I was being sarcastic! Yes you and Willow!” huffs Anya.

“Oh no, no. We’re just friends, good friends!” she says with a big smile on her face.

“Oh just wondering. Now, what shall I do with this?” asks Anya giving Tara some paper work.

Tara just simply lets out a big sign of relief.

Hi Hannah



Well, I just finished this fic and I love. Tara had triplets? heh, that is a lot to take in for Willow, especially after such a passionate night and such. But I'm really happy they were able to work things out.



I can't wait to read more. Loving the development of this story. Thank you.

Here is chapter 11 of the story, hope you like it.

Chapter 11



Over a week has passed. It is now the next Saturday. The Maclay household is getting ready for a visitor. Everybody is excited, but also a little nervous. Tara is scurrying around cleaning and checking everything is in its place and is neat. Emma, Holly and Josh are in the living room out of the way, watching TV.



Tara appears in the living room. She smiles at her kids being quiet for once.

“Hey, you three. I’m just going to get changed. So be good. Like you are now. I’m actually impressed,” says Tara, a big grin stuck on her face.

“Good. I’m glad you’re impressed,” smiles Holly.

“Mummy, why are you extra specially smiley and happy today?” asks Emma.

“Well, why do you think? Willow’s coming and she’s my friend, so I’m happy,” she says.

“I suppose,” replies Emma turning back to face the TV.

Tara then disappears upstairs to her bedroom.



Oh wow. Why am I so nervous? I’ve been here before. Ah yes! That’s probably why I’m nervous! At least that can’t happen again. Kids are here and we’re just, friends. Good. I’m not saying that night wasn’t good! It was. It was very special to me. Always will be. Oh well here we are. Sighs Willow as she steps up to the door.



As soon as Tara hears the doorbell she comes bounding down the stairs.

“Now kids, remember be polite,” she instructs her kids.

She opens the door. Willow is stood in front of her wearing a black and red t-shirt and tight black jeans.

Wow! Willow you look darn hot! Wow! She thinks.

“Hi Willow. You look nice!” is all that comes out of Tara’s mouth.



As the door opens Willow sees Tara. Here mouth almost drops. Tara is wearing a dark blue jumper, complementing her eyes, and a pair of black trousers.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Now these are the times I ask myself, why I said just be friends! Oh well it’s all said now. Oh hang on. She just said something! Something about me looking nice. That’s sweet! Thinks Willow.

“Hi Tara, looking very nice yourself,” smiles Willow.

“Do come in,” smiles Tara.



Once the door is shut Tara and Willow give each other a ‘hello’ hug. As friends only of course.

“Mmmm!” says Willow by accident, as they hug.

Tara hears her and starts to blush.

“Willow? What was that?” she asks.

“Oh, oh nothing,” stutters Willow, totally embarrassed, “ I have a um frog in my throat. I was trying to get it out, that’s all!”

“Ok then,” replies Tara knowing that Willow was blatantly lying.

In fact Tara didn’t mind at all.

“Tara?” says Willow as they part, “You know I’m actually a bit nervous. I don’t know why. It’s only kids!”

“Don’t worry you’ll be fine. They’re ok really. A bit noisy, but you get used to it after a while,” she smiles as she leads Willow to the living room, “They’re in here,”

As they enter the living room Willow gently slips her hand into Tara’s hand. Tara gives it a little reassuring squeeze. Willow’s not sure why she just took hold of her friend’s hand, but it makes her feel safer.

Friends hold hands, don’t they? Thinks Willow.



Emma and Holly see Willow and Tara appear in the room. They also notice they’re holding hands. They don’t think anything of it as they believe their mum when she said they are just friends. Josh is facing the opposite way from Willow, so hasn’t noticed them yet.

“Hey you guys, this is Willow,” says Tara smiling at Willow.

“Hi you three,” smiles Willow.

“Oh hi, nice to meet you,” giggles Emma.

“Yeah, hi,” says Holly.

“That’s Holly, and that’s Emma,” says Tara pointing them out, “And that’s Josh,”

Josh hears his name being said and turns around. He sees Willow and Tara and horror crosses his face.

“Ahh!!” screams Josh and quickly scrambles out of the chair and rushes into the kitchen.



The room falls silent for a couple of seconds as they take in Josh’s strange behaviour.

“It’s ok Willow. I’ll go and fetch him. I don’t know what’s got into him?” says Tara puzzled.

“No, it’s ok. I’ll go and talk to him in a minute. After all I must have been the one who scared him,” says Willow.

“Sure?”

“Sure,”

“Well ok. Do you want to sit?” asks Tara pointing to the chair Josh was just using.

“Ok,” replies Willow sitting down on the armchair.

Tara sits down on the sofa with her daughters.

“So Emma and Holly how’s school going? Your mum said you’re doing very well,” asks Willow.

“It’s ok I suppose,” smiles Holly at Willow.

“Yeah not to bad I suppose,” says Emma.

“Good. So do either of you know what you want to be when you’re a lot older?” asks Willow.

“I want to be a singer in a pop band!” grins Emma.

“Wow! That sounds cool. What about you Holly?”

“An actress!”

“Cool too,”

Tara is enjoying watching her daughters and Willow interact. After Willow telling her she was nervous, she seems to be doing great.

Well it’s good. My kids seem to like her a lot. Well maybe not with Josh!

“Josh wants to be a journalist. He could write stories about you two. It would be an interesting family!” smiles Tara, winking at Willow.

“About Josh. I’ll see if I can talk to him, ok?” asks Willow grinning back at Tara.

“Sure, he looks to be in the kitchen,” says Tara.

“I’ll be back in a minute,”



Willow stands up and walks over to the kitchen door. She peers around the door. What she sees worries and shocks her very much. Josh is sat on a stool shaking and muttering some thing to himself.

Willow slowly walks into the kitchen.

“Josh. I’m sorry if I some how scared you either,” says Willow in a calm, gentle voice.

Josh lifts his head and looks at Willow. As he sees her his eyes widen and he jumps of his stool.

“Josh?” asks Willow.

Suddenly Josh slams his hands against his head. He runs out of the kitchen holding his head and saying

“Oh my God! Oh my God!”

Willow just stands in shock for a second then decides to return to Tara.



Tara spots Willow walk back into the room.

“Well?” asks Tara.

“Tara, I need to talk to you. Could you come over here please?” she says.

Tara walks over to Willow so the kids can’t hear them.

“What is it Will?” says Tara.

“It’s Josh. Something weird is going on!”



Suddenly the whole group hear strange noises coming from upstairs.

“What the hell is that?” says Tara.

Then they hear a very disturbing sound coming from upstairs, in Josh’s bedroom. A scream!
