First Fic.....A Future Together

A line like "clothes off now" must be followed by something like "next update to immediately follow ..."

"And how long have you known your girlfriend's Tinkerbell?"

[Tiggrscorpio]

Okay, here is the final part of this story. Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and feedback. This was both fun and good therapy, for me at least, during this period of angst. Although I am fond of both, I personally don't mind if we ever see a X/A wedding, but dammit I want a W/T wedding. And I want it now!!!

Okay temper tantrum over. For those expecting hot monkey sex, I simply do not write it as well as the other amazingly talented writers on this board. You will just have to settle for tender Sarah McLachlan afterglow. Enjoy.

A Future Together - Part 8

Willow awoke to find her exhausted wife breathing deeply, still enmeshed in her peaceful dream world. Willow's heart leapt. 'Goddess,' she thought. 'She's all mine. How did I ever get so lucky.'

She brushed back a golden, stray lock and traced the back of her fingers down Tara's cheek and across her jaw.

Willow spoke softly. "I'm going to take care of you. Forever and ever. I'll always be here for you."

Tara shifted in her sleep, instinctively closer to Willow, and whispered, "My Willow."

Willow's heart leapt again. "Yes love. Yours. Always." She drifted back to sleep.

Willow awoke an hour later to an empty bed. "No fair." She pouted, but immediately brightened as Tara came through the doorway, carrying a breakfast tray.

"Hey." Tara beamed at her wife.

"Hey. I missed my morning snuggles." Willow stuck out her bottom lip.

Tara put the tray on the dresser. She climbed back into bed and wrapped herself in Willow's embrace.

"I just wanted to make my new wife breakfast in bed," Tara said, kissing Willow's lips.

"Mmmm. Taralips are the only nourishment I need," she said, deepening the kiss. When she pulled back, she smilled. "Good Morning, Mrs. Maclay-Rosenburg."

Tara returned the smile. "Good Morning to you, Mrs. Maclay-Rosenburg."

Tara arched her back as her orgasm ripped through her body. She clutched the sheets and cried out.

"Willow. Oh Goddess, yes, Willow."

Willow moved up and lay alongside her love, waiting for her breathing to return to a more regular pace.

Tara let out one last deep breath. She opened her eyes, rolled over and rested her head on Willow's chest. She looked at the breakfast tray on the dresser.

"Our pancakes are cold," she giggled softly.

"We'll make some more." Willow held her tighter.

After a brief silence, Tara looked up at Willow.

"Do you feel different?"

"Yes, actually I do." She kissed Tara's forehead, then took her hand and interlaced their fingers. "I feel stronger and safer and more inspired."

"Inspired?" Tara looked at her curiously.

"You inspire me to be a better person. Because of you, I have the courage to always try harder. Even during my worst moments, you've helped me. How do you do that?"

She looked into crystal clear blue eyes and got her answer.

"Love." Tara smiled.

Willow kissed her. It was a kiss full of hope. And knowing, that whatever the future held, they would face it together.
