OK, GUYS THIS UPDATE IS VERY MIXED, A BIT CHOP AND CHANGE. IT SHOULD ALL TIE IN THOUGH, WITH HAPPY RESULTS......MAYBE.

"Jenny?...JENNY!!"
Rushing down the stairs, the worried former teacher opened the door to a rather ill looking Willow and a frantic Tara.
"Hey girls, come in."
"Jenny, she's all ill! she's throwing up and look at her! whats happened?"
"Sit down Tara, and Willow obviously, listen, i know your worried, but the spell you did, i did warn it had side effects, look this is fine, Willow will be ok, just keep her off of her feet from now on, it's gonna be hard, next 9 months will definitely test your relationship, as well as patience-"
"You mean, Willow's pregnant?"
Smiling softly, Jenny just nodded before being bombarded with Tara-shape hugs and tears.
"Hear that Will? you're carrying the baby! we're pregnant!"
Hardly audible Willow gave a "Woohoo" before collapsing on the sofa.
"Oh god! Willow!! WILLOW! Jenny help!"
Both women helped shift Willow's feet onto the end of the sofa, while Tara sat beside her, holding her hand. Jenny rushed off for a minute, coming back with a cup full of something.
"A potion?"
"Yes Tara, just so we can settle her stomach and to take down her temperature a little bit, kinda like curing a cold, only not, because no-one can do that...."
Tipping Willow's head back, opening her mouth, Tara gave her the potion, to see Willow open her eyes, seeing them adjust and her clamminess settle in an instant.
"Baby, i'm gonna take you home, get you in your pj's, and make you some hot cocoa, ok?"
Slurring her words slowly, Willow mumbles, "With Marshmallows?"
"Sure baby. Thanks Jenny, um, we'll, or I, will be in touch, thanks so much."
"Anytime Girls, goodbye now."
Getting back into the car, both women make their way home.
Grabbing the longest silver key in a bunch full of pointless key-rings, the blonde turns it in the lock. Carefully settling Willow on the couch, Tara runs upstairs and fetches the redhead's pj's. A small strap top, blue, with little white sheep on it, and long 3/4 length shorts with the same markings.
Seeing Willow dozing off is a vision of beauty as Tara stands for a while, smiling, staring at her partner, and the lil Willow jnr inside.
But time is fading fast, she just wants to grab a blanket, and settle in for the night. Tara carefully undresses the redhead, starting with pants first, folding them up neatly, she puts them on the table adjacent. She then takes off Willow's 'Hello Kitty' tee, again folding it neatly.
By this time, Willow is fighting the urge to sleep, eyes heavy and lips dry. Tara slips out to start making the cocoa, and keeps an eye on a sprawled out Willow.
The kettle clicks, and the cocoa is ready. Turning on the TV, low as possible so audio is heard, Tara lifts Willow's head up and places it on her lap.
Slowly the redhead's eyes open, to meet blue seas.
"Tara?"
"Hey sleepy."
The blonde kisses her lover on the hand, but Willow uses this hand to pull Tara's head down, so lips meet lips. The redhead is holding on for dear life as Tara kisses harder in response to the tight grip, and pulls away slowly.
"Um, Will, another side effect?"
Willow doesn't respond, she just carefully sits up, holding her stomach already in a maternal way, and mouths 'i love you'.
Tara licks her lips and she approached her wife, pulling her slowly down to the sofa, and leans on elbows, trying not to disturb Willow's posture.
"Willow are you sure you're up to this?"
"Yeah, just slo-BLEUGH!"
Tara crinkles her nose at the sight of Willow hurling, but carefully holds back her hair, and rubs her back.
"It's ok Will, let it all out....shhshh, it's ok..."
Now crying, the redhead squeezes Tara's hand as she fights for breath.
"Tara, baby, it hurts, it's not supposed to hurt...Tara..."
Quietly panicking, Tara grabs the phone and calls for an emergency doctor, and tells him to come over ASAP.
"Willow, you'll be ok, just hold on, i'm, i'm sorry you have to go through this, i d-don't know why, you shouldn't....maybe its whatever Jenny gave you, you're not agreeing with it, maybe it's just that the baby doesn't like it....."
No time to think. Willow's in pain. Tara pours a glass of water and holds Willow still, giving it to her, Willow's eyes close, relaxing, snuggling herself into the blondes chest, but not enough. Willow starts to shake. Her body harbors tendrils of sweat, and flu-like symptoms, Tara starts to cry.
"Willow! please don't give up! don't lose our baby! Willow, you'll be ok, the doctors coming round, he'll make you all better, please sweetie, hold on...."
'DING DONG!'
Swinging the door open, the blonde grabs the Doctor and almost throws him at Willow.
"Ok, Mrs Maclay, can you hear me? Mrs Maclay, i'm going to inject you with some Loratadine,the new formula, it seems you are coming up in hives, some kind of allergy, old fashioned dilute antihistamines might not reduce this."
Turning to Tara he asks for a blanket and some hot water.
Returning with a large bowl filled with water, she holds Willow's hand, and holds back the tears.
"Come on baby...."
The doctor then turns to Tara.
"Um, Mrs Maclay, you say that Willow is pregnant?"
"Yes, yes she is, why? is there something wrong?"
"Do you know when she is due her next period?"
Eyes darting from Willow to the doctor at all times, Tara tries to remain calm.
"Yeah, she's due on today, why?"
Pulling out a stethoscope, the Doc checks Willow's two pulsating heartbeats.
"It seems that Willow's body hasn't registered that she is pregnant, her hormones are trying to rid the baby, the molecular structure is confusing her functions, chances are, Willow's going to bleed for a long time, however this is not a hospital emergency. Just give her these."
He pulls out a small bottle containing 50 multicolored pills.
"Two of these 3 times a day, these should stabilize her hormones when they decide to push the baby away. For the bleeding, you will have to feed her this-"
He then pulls out a pink syrup.
"3 mouthfuls a day, before meals is preferred."
Thats it. No more restraints. Tara's tears fall fast and hard, looking up at the doctor, then back at the pills, she shakes her head in disbelief.
"A-and these will help her carry the baby? no side effects?"
"She should be fine, its very rare for the pills to effect the baby, just take extra special care of her, i know she shouldn't be on her feet, but take her out everyday as these pills will give her the energy she needs to carry on a healthy life for the next, lets say, 3-4 months, this treatment should be fine. After 4 months, she'll be feeling like a pregnant woman normally feels, just try not to worry."
Tara didn't even dignify that last bit with a response. Letting the doctor out, she thanks him and turns back to Willow, who is now laying, sobbing, looking around the room.
The blonde sits down beside her.
"Hey baby, take these."
She hands the redhead 2 pills.
"And some of this"
Carefully pouring a mouthful of syrup onto a spoon, she feeds Willow.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like i need my Tarebear. Like i need her so much, to sit with me, tell me it will be ok."
Tara's heart skips a beat. She hops up and again places the redhead's head on her lap, stroking her hair, pulling the blanket off of the back of the sofa.
"Wills?"
"Yeah?"
"You will be ok, i promise...."
4 months later.........
"Willow, do you want some lasagna? i just made it, it looks good, wanna be my guinea pig?"
"Um, Dawnie, i would, but i'm afraid my lil baby can't say no itself! so i will.....no thanks. But thanks."
"Thats a no then?"
"Yes, thats a no."
"BUFFY!!"
Calling upstairs standing with a fork, Dawn is shifting from foot to foot impatiently, Willow is sitting down at the table, looking up different baby names on the online baby name finder.
"So Will, where's Tare?"
Turning awkwardly toward the stairs, Willow replied.
"Oh, she went to the store, i had a mean craving for some cheese."
Looking as if she was about to throw up, Dawn snickered, then laughed out so loud, it became contagious as Buffy walked down the stairs.
"Hahaha....... what are we laughing about?"
Containing herself, Dawn managed to answer.
"Hehe....she was saying how she has developed a cheese fetish.."
"CHEESE FETISH! hahahaha!"
Willow, getting a bit annoyed, huffed."I do NOT have a cheese fetish! i just wanted some, plus Buffy you're the one with the cheese fetish!"
'DING DONG!'
"Oh, that's my wife-y with my cheese-y..."
Buffy jumps off the bottom step and answers the door.
All is quiet. Realizing the situation, Dawn retreats to the sofa, watching the smile on Willow's face disappear.
"Dawnie? What's wrong? Who's at the door?"
Slowly stepping inside the Summer's residence, a man, not as tall as most, takes off his hat and stands it up against the coat stand. Dressed in a suede beige-looking jacket, and and blue pants, he's looks carefully at Willow, almost trying to place a meaning to her puzzled look. Carefully stroking his small ginger goatee, he steps closer to Willow, now smiling, eyes as if they were made of glass, translucent almost.
Willow rises slowly from her chair closing the top of the laptop without looking, and stares straight through this person, only to not find her wife, but a stranger......almost.
"Oz?....."
"Hey, Willow."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you, actually. Is there a chance we can talk? i need to speak to you urgently, wow you look amazing....even with a large stomach..."
Sitting down again, looking down at this rather obvious enlargement, Willow strokes her stomach, soothing its rumblings.
"Oz, i'm,i'm pregnant. I'm having a baby."
Oz is startled. He steps back from the limelight as he tries to take in the situation.
"You have a new boyfriend? who is he?"
"Oz, did you really think i was going to wait for you? i didn't know where you went, how long you would be, if you were going to come back....."
Moving in closer, Oz holds his former girlfriend's hand, only to notice something else.
"You're married?!"
"Yes. Yes i am."
"To who Willow? who!?"
'DING DONG!'
Buffy opens the door again, finding it hard as she tried not to pull her focus away from the now building tension in the living room.
"Hey Buff! i have cheese! 3 types! WILLOW!! CHEESE! i didn't know whether she felt like eati-"
She cuts herself short as she see's the single thing she feared most in the whole world, standing right in front of her.
"Tara, baby you're back, and with cheese, um, could i speak to you for a moment in the kitchen?"
Grabbing her lover, she pulls the blonde into the kitchen, but before she can say anything, Tara starts.
"Willow what is he doing here? is he here to see you?"
"Yeah, he is, i'm not sure why, but i need to talk with him, it's the only way to solve this."
Tears welling up, Tara finds herself retreating back into the living room, where she turns round to see a curious Oz, staring right through her. She looks at Buffy, then at Dawn, and quickly makes her way up the stairs. Buffy follows while Dawn gathers the redhead from the kitchen.
"Willow, talk to him, make it quick, or reschedule it, Tara's real upset."
"Oh,god no, no, god no..."
flying through the rooms, Willow asks Oz to call round later, but he won't have it. So she sits him down, and tells Dawn to check on Tara.
"Buffy, why is he here?! this is killing me...Buffy..."
Cradling her friend, the slayer rocks her, trying to calm the pulsating veins in the blonde's forehead.
"Tara, they're just talking, look Willow would never do anything to hurt you-"
"I'm not worried bout Will, i'm worried what he might do, did you see the look he gave me? it was the same look before he..."
Unable to finish he sentence, Buffy does just that.
"Attacked you?"
Nodding softly, Tara's eyes flicker blue sparks, the pain is exploited, and she gets up to start pacing the room.
"OZ! NO!"
Hearing the redhead shout, Buffy flies down the stairs to see Oz approaching the steps at the same speed.
"Where is she? WHERE IS SHE BUFFY? WHERE'S TARA?!"
"Oz, calm down, let's take this outside-"
"Buffy, she's taken my girlfriend! she's gotten her pregnant! i want answers!"
Not believing what she is hearing, Buffy eye's flicker the anger, she approaches slayer mode.
"Your girlfriend?! Oz are you stupid?! 4 whole years! you've been gone, not a letter, a phone call, an email, and you come here out of the blue and demand "your" girlfriend back?"
Not knowing what to say, he fumbles with his jacket, staring at the floor.
"Oz, i don't know how you feel about Willow, but coming up here and trying to get at Tara is not the way. They're married! they're having a kid! i'm an auntie! no-one in this world is taking that away from me or these women....they love each other with every piece of their being, if you loved Willow, you would just leave now."
Not replying, Oz looks at Willow, and smiles.
"I...I love you Wills...."
"Just go, Oz."
With the ultimate instruction from his love, he picks up his hat, and heads for the door.
"Next, time..." Buffy adds, "Ring or send a letter maybe?"
He nods and jumps into his same old blue van. Closing the door, Willow races upstairs to see Tara sitting at the other end of the room, feet up, arms wrapped around them, staring out of the window.
Not saying a word, Willow walks over to her wife, waddling slightly.
"I love you, Tara, with everything i have. Until the day i die......"
"I would spill my heart for you..."
"Exactly."
Happy with Tara recognition of the song, she sits at the end of the bed.
"Willow, i-i just didn't like the look he had, that he gave me, i thought he was a danger to you, to the baby."
Hushing her partner, Willow takes her finger and places it on Tara's lips. With that, Tara stands up, and gets down on her knees. Carefully leaning over the redhead's swollen stomach, she places a long, deep kiss on her lips, stroking the fierce head hair.
"I love you. I also have cheese...."
Willow smiles.
"Just don't eat Dawnie's lasagna, i think i saw it move....."
All feedback, honest feedback is apreciated.
