Time for ? and a reply... Woooo so cute it was cute... it is cute.

I think I know what Spencer wrote to Santa. A cute red restaurant lady for his mom and maybe hoping Logan will take him somewhere just the two of them. You know mother and son time.

I'm still wondering if Willow saw Tara's paintings. Maybe she was to focused on the Spencer art to see them or just forgot to look further. Or Tara had taken the wrong ones with her. She had left the best art at home. Is that it? Is Willow coming over for a cup of coffee one night and then she will see the real Tara art? I meant paintings not Tara love....ok that too but you know what I mean.

And I was wondering if Willow will be posing for Tara so she could paint her....naked heeee this is NC17 you know.

Well I get the feeling that shy Tara will leave the building soon.

This update is soooo cute and the three of them together is just perfect.

Please Please Please Please Please update soooooooon please!!! pretty please.

Henny

There are no words for how funny and wonderful that Picasso painting line is. Just awesome.

Spencer is so cute. I love the "I'm six!" when he's introduced to Willow. Heh. And the restaurant lady stuff was funny, too. Especially when Tara said the same thing when she realized who Willow was.

Can't wait for more.

Yep. I check the column marked "cute" for this fic.

Definately an A in my book. And I'd like to read more soon please

It's late. I need to study.. thus equaling the lack of proper feedback again.

But more soon please haha

Hey Emms! Remember me?

Sorry for the tardiness. I'm finally getting some time to read again and of course, was so giddy to see you having yet ANOTHER wonderful story. This has your trademark touch of sweetness factor, and I'm sensing soon to be romantical factor. I feel sorry for Tara having to deal with Logan's general crappiness. It's one thing if it's just you, but when there's a child involved, it makes it so much worse. She's so selfish not seeing what she's doing to Spencer, not to mention Tara.

Anyway, back to the good stuff. So...they're having lunch. I love Tara taking the initiative (no reference to Riley's old employer).

So, yay, yay for Emms. Can't wait to see what comes of their lunch date.

Hugs!

Well I hope I am posting this is in the right place & didn't miss a link or something but anyway...
Well what to say about the divine Ms Emms? Emms you know I how much I love your writing and if you don't you should & although I don't post in them I do visit the Studio and the Longue and I love your work on there too. You are so amazingly talented Emms and such a lovely & nice person as well. It was your work and writing that originally got me interested in fanfic so I thank you sooo much for introducing me to such an amazing world. You are always there if someone asks for your help and you have so many fans on here. I haven't been here for all that long but I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every moment being here reading your posts, your fic, you poems and looking at your artwork. Thank you so much Emms and we all love you!!!
(It won't be long till little miss tarebear comes here and expresses her praise too! EDIT- she even beat me too it...)

X-Katie-X

Emms,

Just a small thought...
Your writing puts a smile in my heart. Thanks!

Hello ms Emms,

I'm one of your big fans and I mean BIG BIG BIIIIIGGG. I just wanted to let you know I really adore your work in different ways.

I'm not the only one out there. I just chatted with our old friend Rhi the smut bunny well she wished she had more time to leave you a big big BIG reply (because of farm work and a sick horse she wasn't able too do it) and she promised she would do it this year not really sure when yet...but this year. In the meantime I'm her homing pigeon so on behalf of her. I can tell you that she worships your work.


Brenda

As a poor, unfortunate senior in high school, I have been busy working on countless papers and projects until past midnight for the past few nights. You're fics give me a half an hour long mini vacation every night before I finally call it quits and go to bed. Instead of falling asleep thinking of Macbeth and what Shakespeare is really saying, pre-calc problems I may never actually understand, college deadlines, World War I, and other assorted school related horrors, I fall asleep thinking about my latest adventure in the world you create with your fics. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Hi everyone I'm close to posting the next chapter, but I wanted to stop in first, and leave you all some much needed responses to your wonderful feedback. I know it's been a long time and I hope that everyone's still interested.

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

The Rose24



Yep, the lunch meeting is next

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

Thank you. I'm glad you find the tone of the story, not too overbearing. and I'm delighted that you like the story, thus far!

*************************************************************
tarebear



Awww, thank you sweetie But now I feel all bad for having waited so long between postings. I hope you still like the next chapter as much.



hehehe...that bit of feedback bordered on a ramble, there sweetie. But I liked it. And yes. You are right. No good can come from kidnapping....it's much safer to enjoy Spencer from a distance



You are right. There is so much that they could give eachother, and that is so important in life...it's about balance. Tara needs someone to take care of her, for a change, and Willow needs someone that's going to slow her down a little and show her that life is not all about work. They're perfect for eachother, I think.



hehehe....well, I've been writing it for how long now? a couple months? so I'd say it is the longest "quick" lunch in all of history!



I'm so glad that you came out of lurkdom, and thank you so much for all your kind words.

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

Thank you, dear.



Thank you. I felt when I was writing that part between Spencer and Willow, that it was completely necessary, so I'm grateful to know that it came off so well.

Darth Pacula



yes, but just a dash, mind you....angst can be very spicy.



I have to agree there



Yes, it's true. She hasn’t exactly presented herself as an exemplary mother...but I think she's like a lot of people; in the way that she's at least making an attempt (okay, so it's a drunken attempt) to have a relationship with Spencer (some of the time)...and she hasn't exactly made any right decisions thus far...but I sense change in the air.



Thank you.



Yes...poo-poo on Kirkland Jr. I'm sure Willow's going to end up kicking him, (as you said) hard in the goolies before this story is over. yes...I'm quite certain of that. hehe



Thank you.



Yes, I like that. Hillclinger, it is.







No, no, no...definitely stuffed in the cuddly way...there's nothing taxidermish going on....yet. hehe. But seriously though, remember that big dog Willow always had on her bed during season four?



perhaps incorrect isn't the right word....premature, maybe. Spencer is very much fixated on Logan right now, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's writing to Santa in order to get his missing mommy to return. But then again, it could be something else all together (I'm evil)



I'm so glad you loved the stepping on the shoe. I actually went back and forth with that more than a few times...I very much wanted to get across that the stepping on Spencer's shoe was a maternal thing and not a reason to call Child protective services. LOL



Thank you so much for leaving such detailed and wonderfully thoughtful feedback. I really appreciate the time and energy that must have taken.

Hi there Amy! Well, I’d say there could be a little kissing soon….and I agree Willow would look hot in a business suit.

Jeanne, I've been sitting here for ages trying to create a reply that would equal your wonderful thoughts. I couldn't. I just want you to know, I think you're great and I very much appreciate your support and kind words.

I don't pretend to be the best writer...or even a good writer, for that matter, but each time I get a few words from you (or a ramble, usually right? ) it makes all the heart I put into writing, worth it. Thank you.

Hi sweetie...wow, well....it's been too long since I've updated this fic, I'm looking forward to getting back to it though. Thank you for the kind words...and yes...I guess the little get together could be considered a date...which might eventually lead to an even bigger date. There could be cooking involved even.


********************************************************************************
Chris,



Children tend to go on what they know



Yeah, I figured a lot of people would suspect that, because I practically said as much (with out actually saying it) at the beginning of the update when Tara asked Spencer if he put his canvases in the car.



Probably, but it's kinda oookey, if ya ask me.



I hope it's the latter, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Ms. Emms, just wanted to drop a line and say that I absolutely love this story. Thank you for not going overboard with the angst, but giving us just enough to where it isnt boring(Not that your stories would ever be). Logan is an absolute doll! Again, thanks for the journey and I look forward to more!

Toodles, Take care.

I'll be posting the update directly after these. I just want to say again, a big thank you to everyone who has left a few words. Writing is hard sometimes and I think I speak for writers everywhere when I say; we really appreciate all the wonderful kitten feedback. I know, for me, anyway, it makes all the hard work worth it. Thank you.

Thank you. I just had to write in the "shout six" I think it's universal that all six-year olds do that. And it seems localized to just that age group too.

Willow still couldn’t believe that they’d gotten an actual table. The small deli was packed with hungry people from the exhibit; many of them tourists. But the blonde seemed to have friends everywhere; first at the art show; people had stopped to shake her hand and kiss her cheek. Then at the deli where an across-the-counter kiss on the cheek had gotten them the best table in the place--not that Willow thought the woman was some kind of kiss-slut or anything, in fact the blonde had seemed conservative with the kissing and not at all flamboyant.

Willow shifted her red and white sneakers under the table--it was true that they didn’t really go with the expensive leather jacket she was wearing, but then again, Willow had always been more of a comfort-gal than a cutting-edge, fashion diva. In her youth she had even been considered one of the more “funky” dressers; in high school, all the way up until college, where her creative flare for the mismatched-matched sort of got lost amongst the equally exotic patterned and pressed folks in attendance.

“Do you paint as well?” Willow asked, directing her thoughts into a more forward motion. She couldn’t deny that she held a double intention in wanting to know. Aside from being truly interested in this blonde woman, Willow also had to consider the dwindling window of opportunity for employing an artist for the Kirkland Group. And since she couldn’t very well hire a six-year old, she was forced to reasses her options.

“Oh, yes. I don’t have anything out there today…I was going to, but I just…” Tara’s words ended. She didn’t want to admit to virtual stranger that she’d been feeling a little “off” the last couple days. But there was something in Willow’s eyes that gave Tara a sense of ease and comfort. She didn’t know what it was though…maybe just the day playing tricks and instilling a false sense of security. Willow’s eyes were green, and held a strength that made Tara want to open up to her. But she remembered Spencer seated between them, which was enough to make her censor her words.

“I would really like to see your work…Will you be showing again?” Willow asked, secretly hoping the inflection in her voice wouldn’t reveal her true intention-- which was simply to see this woman again and by that time, had nothing at all to do with art.

Tara nodded offhandedly and tried to recall when the next showing would be. She drew a blank. Tara watched Willow over the rim of her glass as she pretended to drink the iced tea inside. Spencer, seated beside Tara, shuffled in his chair which caused the metal legs to scrape across the concrete floor with a grating sort of sound.

“I’m going to Disney World for my birthday this year.”

Spencer announced proudly, taking a sip of his lemonade. The cup, the woman behind the counter had given him was child-sized and plastic. “You are?” Willow asked, turning her partial attention to the child, whom she could tell was waiting for her to respond. The rest of Willow’s attention skirted across the table, toward the gorgeous blonde, who, at that moment, was delicately picking a brown spot of lettuce from her sandwich. Willow never knew how deliciously exciting damaged produce could be, until that moment. She was riveted.

“Yep. Isn’t that right Mommy?”

Tara smiled but said nothing. She wondered when those plans had been made; Logan had never said anything to her about it. Tara wondered if the other woman even remembered promising Spencer they’d go. Tara worried about what to say. She didn’t want to upset her son, but she didn’t want him to be disappointed when it didn’t happen, either. “We’ll see.” Tara said, deciding neutrality was best at the moment; she’d talk to Logan later that evening to get the full story. Tara grew quiet...She didn’t want to think about Logan.

Willow could sense the change in atmosphere immediately following the little boy‘s declaration. It was a heavy, silent kind of change and Willow felt the need to fix it. So she delved deeper into conversation, trying to keep things light. “I like amusement parks, If I had a back yard I’d probably put a Farris wheel in it…well not a Farris wheel, cause they’re scary, but maybe a camel for the kiddies to ride around on. But not a pony…because…well, lets just say there is a traumatic pony moment in my past that I’d rather not relive…ever,” Willow said, knowing full well that she had gone beyond filling the silence and had traversed fully into the land of babble. She knew that if she didn’t stop herself she might continue on, straight into her scary-pony past. Tara was smiling though, which made Willow feel more confident. However, she couldn’t help the fleeting wonder if amusement parks in general were a sensitive subject for Tara, or if her particular aversion was to this one specifically.

Tara smiled at the redhead’s babble. “Ponies aren’t that bad…sometimes, but not usually,” She said, putting Logan from her mind completely. Tara could feel Willow’s eyes on her which was making her feel a bit warm. Tara loosened the scarf she wore. Then, extracting it from around her neck and slipping it out from under the collar of her jacket, Tara set the flowing material on the only other empty chair at their table.

“Do you ride?” Willow took a bite of her sandwich, and noticing the way the blonde woman was removing the red and brown scarf from her neck, swallowed with a bit too much enthusiasm. Her throat clenched, threatening to lodge the food there, and kill her right on the spot.

“A little…I’m not that good, but I don’t fall off either,” Tara said. She caught Willow’s gaze momentarily, but it was gone before Tara could let her own linger. Spencer sat between them, he’d been silent for a long time and Tara wondered if he had sensed her silence from a moment earlier.

Tara could feel Willow’s gaze flicker to her, once more, from across the table. Tara deliberately kept her eyes on her sandwich. For the moment, the brazenness she’d felt when she’d boldly asked Willow to accompany them had fled, leaving her alone with feelings of self-doubt and a strange, unexplained tingling sensation just below her kneecap. It tickled and Tara had to take a bite of her sandwich to keep from laughing.

Willow regarded the beautiful woman curiously and wondered if the funny look on Tara’s face was in fact amusement, or if the blonde simply thought Willow was a complete dork.

“These are Antirrhinums.”

Spencer spoke suddenly almost as if he could sense Willow’s thoughts and meant to diffuse the situation before it had a chance to escalate into Willow saying, or doing something to embarrass herself. As if to further reiterate his statement, Spencer reached out to touch the delicate pink and white petals of the flowers in the center of the table.

“Yes, they are,” Willow said, amazed that a boy his age would know the scientific name for Snapdragons. “They’re pretty aren’t they?” Willow leaned forward to take a closer look at the flowers. Snapdragons had always been amongst her favorite flowers.

“I like them a lot.” Spencer smiled.

“Me too,” Willow said kindly, and was rewarded with a grin from the boy. “What grade did you say you were in, again?” She had to know. Willow recalled he’d said he was six…but since when did six-year-olds study botany?

For the rest of their lunch hour Spencer monopolized the conversation. He regaled Willow in detail on his daily adventures at the Montessori school he attended.

Tara sat back watching the interaction between her son and this beautiful woman across from her. She was amazed by the ease with which Willow exchanged conversation with Spencer. Tara, deciding Willow was a natural with children, wondered if she had any kids of her own.

Tara casually glanced down at Willow’s hand, her eyes gracing the redhead’s slim fingers, lingering only slightly longer than necessary to see that she wore no wedding ring--a small victory, but hardly evidence enough to convict. Maybe she was divorced…or dating someone. Tara wondered lightly on how to go about gaining such information without coming right out and asking.

Fortunately she didn’t have long to worry about it, because through the large glass window Tara could see Ginny, motioning for Tara to hurry up. Unfortunately that meant lunch would have to be over.

[center]***********[/center]

They walked back across the street, causally dodging foot traffic and the street vendors who’d, it seemed, organized themselves into a most effective obstacle course. Tara gripped Spencer’s hand tightly, in order to keep him standing next to her, but felt him tug on his hand slightly, and loosened her grip.

Tara stopped once they had reached their stall, and tuned to Willow. “This was….fun,” She said, rocking back on her heels. She swung Spencer’s hand lightheartedly for something to do so she wouldn’t have to meet Willow’s eyes. She didn’t want this to end.

“It was…fun,” Willow agreed. Her gaze traveled away, of their own accord and down the woman’s body with the precision of a surgeon. Then shocked at her own behavior her eyes fluttered back to the safety of Tara’s face, so as not to make herself a candidate for the “Pervert files” that were, she was sure, kept on record somewhere at the police station.

Neither woman knew what else to say.

“You’re leaving already?” Spencer piped in, his tone a scathe away from a whine.

Willow came to her knees so that she was eyelevel with the young boy.

“Will we see you again?” he asked, tilting his head to the side.

“I um…I--” Willow looked in Tara’s direction for some sign that would guide her in her answer, but found none.

“What about your paintings?” Spencer asked.

Spencer put his hands on either side of Willow‘s face

“You could come over for dinner. Mommy, can Willow come over for dinner?”

Willow was surprised and had to be stop herself from pulling away from his small hands. She wasn’t used to children and didn’t feel prepared for this kind of physical interaction. “Oh…I don’t think that---your mom would…I mean…” Willow stammered, trying to answer before Tara could have a chance to object. All the while, Spencer kept his hands locked to Willow’s cheeks, forcing her to look at him. He smelled of bubble gum and fabric softener and Willow had to smile in spite of her position.

“--No! I mean, that would be nice.” Tara tried not to blush. “Unless you don’t want to….” She added, not wanting it to seem like she was forcing Willow into something she didn’t want to do.

“No, I do. I really do. Okay?” Willow, put her hands over Spencer’s warmer ones. Then lowering them from her face, she clasped them together in front of him as if he were praying. Willow smiled, then stood.

“Tuesday sound alright?” Tara asked. She could feel her teeth sinking into her bottom lip. She wondered if the suggestion of dinner on Tuesday made her seem presumptuous. Tara wondered if she should’ve let Willow pick the day. “That is, if you’re not busy,” she added, just to be on the safe side.

“Tuesday sounds great,” Willow said. Tara nodded and took a slip of paper from the table. Bending, Tara wrote something on the paper; it was her address and phone number. Willow took the slip of paper from Tara, and held onto it as she didn’t trust her pockets to keep it safe.

“Tuesday it is, then,” they both said at once, then laughed nervously. They smiled at each other shyly and shook hands awkwardly as if they’d just made a business deal, and then Willow turned to leave.

Willow had gotten a few paces away, then turned back. Spencer was waving with one hand while the other hand shielded his eyes from the sun. The cuffs of his blue sweatshirt had slipped down so that it looked as if he had no hands. Willow waved back, catching one last glance at Tara before heading in the opposite direction.

Willow knew she was grinning like an idiot, and a pair of older women even gave her funny looks as she passed by them on the way to her car…but it didn’t matter. Her thoughts were already turning to Tuesday.

Wow, what a great birthday present for me for tomorrow, a new update of my favourite fanfic ever, & I'm first to leave feedback this time ! I can't get over how amazingly written the character of Spencer is, I love everything about him, especially the way he is initiating the relationship between his mother and Willow! Willow's interaction with him is so cute too and it's even better when the fact that she isn't used to children is established, it explains a fair bit actually! I loved the Willow babble at lunch too, I could just imagine Spencer's face looking up at her when she was babbling!


That is such a Tara thing to do, swinging the hand... awww, so sweet!
I like the way Tara checked for a ring on Willow's finger too, very subtle! Basically I loved the whole update and how the story is panning out!
Thanks Emms, can't wait for tuesday's dinner!

X-Katie-X

Aww yay spencers so adorable!! He likes willow already thats so cute!!! Well i cant wait for tuesday either!! Please update soon!
Happy Holidays!
Erin

Yay! for update-y goodness!

That was lovely Emms, lovely, & sweet, & cute & aww! I loved it.

It seems Tara's got lots of friends, that's nice to see.

Cute

Well, everything's looking very good for our girls; what with Willow getting on so well with Spencer (& a big yay! for Spencer), & a nice dinner date planned for Tuesday - that will be fabulous, Willow & Tara will both get a nice break from their usually lonely nights & they'll see how perfectly they fit together & they'll fall in love & everything will be perfect.

Hmm, I do hope that Spencer doesn't get upset, I'm pretty certain that, if Logan did make that promise, she's not likely to keep it, but, I'm sure there's a certain redhead who could probably afford a trip to Disney World.

Wow, Spencer is very clever - do I get the feeling that his advanced knowledge of flowers is thanks to Tara's influence?

I'm sure there'll be lots of opportunity for Tara to find out lots more about Willow when they have dinner together.

I'm very excited about the dinner - as I'm sure you've figured out from the fact that I've mentioned it in practically every paragraph. I can't wait to read about all the fun that they'll have.

Thank you for this update sweetie, it was exactly what I needed.

Hugs
Jeanne

Well she is KISS ME... KISS ME .. KISS ME TARA !!! moww wa moww wa lol that was so funny.

Ok first off



you don't have to thank me silly. It's all true and you so deserve it.

Back to the story.

I loved it they are both playing it cool...the whole are you or aren't you liking me theory. Then there is the eye contact. I want to look at you but I'm so shy and what if you don't like me or don't like what I am doing too you. That is so cute! Lucky for them that the little men is there to help them even if he doesn't really know what is happening or he is in love with the green eye lady.

It really is a big thing for Willow not to move away from Spencer's little hands. She is a business woman normally her work comes first. So it's kinda understandable that she isn't use to kids. So this little thing that went on is a big step even if it's just a normal thing of life for some people.

I really hope Logan won't forget to take Spencer. It will make there relationship better. But that also could mean that...(because I don't know when his B-day is.) Just think hypo if it is like 6 months away that could mean that W and T's relationship should be a few steps further and if Logan will take him away that could mean that Willow will be jealous about there closeness since she isn't the boys mom. Are you still following this? But yup a BUT you know me too well I need to have my but's. So if it's sooner and Logan won't show up and Tara can't afford. Willow can take them both. That would make there connection even better. Get it??

Like the rest off us I can't wait for the next update...just take your time!!! just relax a little now and then.

Ah... Emms that was great! Jeez, all that ackwardness, I was a nervous wreck just reading it. Although Spencer and Willow seem to be connecting wonderfully. Maybe Dinner on Tuesday will be less ackward between Willow and Tara.

This chapter was full of hysterical lines. Way, way too many to mention without quoting your whole story,:-D but these two bits stuck out expecially funny to me.






I am looking forward to the two of them seeing each other again although I'm afraid Logan hasn't made her last appearance and might try some heavy interference.

Happy New Year!

Emmy,
I'm just really enjoying this story. Spencer is such a delight. After writing my Fruitcake story, I am learning to have a real liking for cute kids. And Spencer is definitely a cute kid.

I like the bit of nervousness between Willow and Tara. Thank the heavens for Spencer...those two women would never get to the date stage if it weren't for him. I think you're developing their budding attraction very nicely.

Well done, Emms. So glad you came back to this. Can't wait for more.

Emms,
So glad to see an update to this very cute story. Spencer seems quite the genuis, knowing the name for snapdragons. Of course we're reminded just how emotionally vulnerable he is though with his Disney comment. Surely this is something Logan told him and he's latched onto it. What an idiot she is. Willow's quite cute and Tara too. Well done.

Funny scene at the deli. It's more than obvious to us, the readers, that there is interest and attraction between the two women. Yet they seem almost afraid to explore it. Willow keeps asking Tara questions, about whether she painted and whether she rode. Tara, on the other hand, seems to be more concerned with the tickle underneath her knee. It falls to Spencer to clear the cold air between them.

Even worse back at the stall. The emotional ping-pong they seem to be playing. If I were Spencer I'd be thinking, what do I have to do to get Mommy and this nice lady together?

I guess this is the initial stage of a typical relationship. There's the tentative feeling out stage that is sweet yet awkward. I'm glad they have Tuesday coming up.

Yay! This fic rules. I love your writing style. It has a flow that is easy to read but never boring. It just kinda sucks you in until you realize you're at the end, I like that. Thanks for the lovely update!

cute story! spencer is such a sweet boy! I think his letter is not about having Lee-Lee back... maybe he's asking Santa a proper girlfriend for his mother, someone who won't hurt their feelings and love them as they deserve.

my thoughts are turning to tuesday too... tomorrow, maybe?

take care,
dani
