HEY PEOPLE!!!!!!!! IM BACK!!!!!!!! Soon, I know...but now I am going to take a few days to work on the last chapters....

AUTHOR'S NOTE:: Okay...so...this Chapter was thought up to A- explain a little who are the strangers...and B- a little part that I think you're gonna like. And yes, I used a character from the comics, Satsu...because I honestly liked her. And I just thought it would be kinda funny. *giggles*

Anyway, I'll leave you to the Chapter...

DISCLAIMER:: I don't own the song Crystal, it belong to its singer, Stevie Nicks. I'm just borrowing it for a moment.




CHAPTER 35- The help…


We may be able to help…


The Scoobies looked at the door and saw a green-haired man and a black-haired Asian girl standing in the door of the Magic Box. They both had big swords attached to their backs and wore the same outfit: work boots, jeans and black shirts.

Instantly the Scoobies went into defensive mode. Willow, Xander and Giles stood up and put themselves between the strange creatures and Tara and Anya.

“Who are you?” Willow asked in a low menacing tone.

“We’re here to help,” the green-haired young man said and he and his companion took a couple of steps forward.

Willow took one step as well and raised a defiant eyebrow.

“Don’t take another step…or I’ll fry you alive,” Willow threatened. “Who are you?”

“We’re Guardians of the Light. We were sent to help you,” the black-haired girl said with a kind tone.

“Guardians of what? You don’t even look human,” Xander said.

“We’re hybrids. Half-human, half-angels. The Guardians, we’re a group. We work for the higher powers, we help keep the balance leaned to the good side,” the green-haired man explained.

The Scoobies just stared at them.

“We were sent by our Elder. To help you. Here, we were given this for you, the Red Witch,” the green-haired man said.

The young man looked at Willow and extended his hands. With a quick thought, the object in the man’s hands floated slowly towards Willow. The redhead Wiccan grabbed it and stared at it in shock. There was a plain silver ring in the palm of her hand with a dolphin engraved on it.

“Will, what is it?” Xander whispered to her.

“My ring… I gave it to…” Willow showed Xander the ring and saw the recognition in his eyes. “I gave it to Buffy before she died. She was buried with it,” was all Willow said. The redhead looked at the strangers again. “How did you get it?”

“She gave it to us. She’s our leader, our Elder,” the black-haired Asian girl said. “I was given this…for the White Witch.”

The girl extended her hands just like her companion had done and once again the object floated slowly towards Willow, who grabbed it and passed it to Tara.

Tara grabbed the object and her jaw hit the floor. In her hand there was a small amber stone tied with a thin black cord…Tears filled her eyes, she hadn’t seen that necklace in years…

“Tara, baby, what is it?” Willow glanced at her girlfriend and took a step back. She took Tara’s hand with her own.

“This…it was my grandmother’s. She gave it to my mom and mom gave it to me before she died…Father threw it into a lake after mom’s death…” Tara wiped the tears away and looked at the strangers. “How…”

“She gave it to me. She said you’d understand,” the black-haired girl said.

“Are you seriously Guardians of the Light?” Anya suddenly asked. “Or you’re just trying to fool us so you can kill us?”

Both strangers lifted the sleeves of their shirts and showed them the mark engraved in the skin: a sword surrounded by two angel wings. It wasn’t tattooed, it was literally engraved on the skin, as if it was burnt on it.

“You really are Guardians of the Light! I never met one before, I thought you were a myth!” Anya exclaimed, obviously impressed. "I always heard the stories but most demons think the Guardians don't exist," she told the other Scoobies.

“Most creatures believe we are and that is fine with us. It serves our purpose better,” the green-haired man said.

“Are you saying that Buffy is some sort of leader to you?” Xander asked.

“She is our Elder. She sent us to help you, others will come too,” the black-haired Asian girl said.

“You’ll need our help if you want to win,” the other warrior said.

“How do we know we can trust you?” Willow asked.

“You can’t know, but you can trust what your mate sees,” the black-haired girl said and nodded towards Tara.

Willow looked at Tara.

“I can see…their auras…they’re so pure…” Tara spoke but she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She had never seen such auras…

Willow looked at Giles and Xander. Tara had never failed them before, the blonde Wiccan was always right when it came to reading people’s auras…Both Xander and Giles nodded.

“Okay, we take what you say as the truth…for now,” Willow said and nodded.

The strangers simply nodded before walking further into the store. They stood by the counter, they didn’t say anything else or even moved.

The Scoobies shared a look as they went back to their seats.

“Is there anything you could tell us about the Order of Judas?” Giles asked and didn’t take his eyes off the Guardians.

“I’m afraid that we don’t know anything more than you do,” the black-haired girl said.

The phone rang and Giles hurried to answer.

“We were sent today to introduce ourselves, our Elder said that it was necessary. We’ll be around watching your backs but you’ll barely notice our presence like we’ve been doing,” the green-haired man said. “That’s our mission.”

“Wait, wait…you’ve been like…watching our backs?” Xander said.

“Direct orders, nothing can happen to the Red Witch and the White Witch or their children,” the green-haired man said.

“The others had to be guarded too. No direct intervention unless it was strictly necessary. Except for the Slayer and the Key,” the black-haired girl added.

“She did that herself, didn’t she?” Willow asked. She was sure that if Buffy had to choose somebody to watch her sister and her girlfriend’s back, she’d do it herself.

“Yes, ma’am,” the black-haired girl said and nodded.

Dawn walked out of the training room. At first she didn’t notice the strangers standing by the counter and when she did, she froze.

“What’s going on?” Dawn asked. “Faith.” It was almost a whisper but Faith was instantly by her side, looking at the two strangers.

“What’s goin’ on?” The Slayer asked.

“Sit down, guys,” Willow said.

Dawn and Faith hesitated but after a minute of silence they sat by the research table and Willow explained everything to them. The Slayer and the former Key were holding hands under the table, communicating without words what they were thinking.

As soon as Willow finished speaking, Faith stood up and walked towards them, looking at them as if she was studying them.

“How strong are you?” The Slayer asked.

“Almost as strong as you are, ma’am,” the green-haired man said.

“You’re immortal?” Faith asked. If they were, it would be really useful.

“We are, ma’am,” the black-haired Asian girl said.

Faith smirked, pleased.

“Not bad, at all,” the Slayer said and nodded.

Faith walked back to the table and sat by her girlfriend’s side. Faith looked at Tara and the blonde Wiccan could see the question in her friend’s eyes: ‘Are they trust worthy? ’ Tara nodded slightly and Dawn grabbed Faith’s hand under the table again.

Giles placed the phone back in its receiver and walked back to the table.

“That was Angel on the phone. It seems that Cordelia had a vision…about the Guardians,” the Watcher explained. “I think we can confirm they are on our side.”

“What a coincidence,” Xander said.

“I’m afraid there are no such things as coincidences, Xander,” Giles said as he polished his glasses.


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



“Are you still sure it was the right thing to do, ma’am?” The green-haired young man asked.

“It was, Marco,” Buffy answered.

Buffy was standing between him and the black-haired Asian girl. Everything was white around them…they were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The blonde Slayer was barely looking at them.

“They still don’t trust us,” the black-haired Asian girl said.

“And they won’t trust you until the last moment,” was all Buffy said. “When they’re sure you won’t turn your backs on them and try to kill them.”

“So what do we do now, ma’am? How shall we proceed?” The green-haired man, Marco, asked.

“The mission still remains. Nothing can happen to any of them, they are essential. Especially Willow, Tara or their babies. It’s essential for our purpose that they are 100% okay,” Buffy said.

“Um, ma’am? Can I ask a question?”

“Go ahead, Marco.”

“The prophecy speaks about the Slayer…and your sister. Why are the witches so essential?” Marco asked.

Buffy chuckled for a second and then grew serious again.

“Without Willow, Faith and the others will be lost. Without Tara, Willow will be lost. Willow’s protectiveness is highly volatile when it comes to Tara. We cannot afford to have a lost Willow in our hands. Willow, Tara and their children are and will be essential, in their own time. But we must protect them from now. I won’t talk about this again, Marco. Now, leave.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Marco said, slightly scared that his Elder was pissed at him. The green-haired man did a small vow and disappeared.

“Do I leave as well, ma’am?” The Asian girl asked.

Buffy finally turned around and looked at her.

“I’ll keep an eye on Faith and Dawn myself. I want you to gather the best 40 warriors. Make sure they are ready for the battle,” Buffy ordered, but using a kinder tone.

“Yes, ma’am.” The girl vowed her head slightly.

“And Satsu…”

“Yes, ma’am?”

Buffy gave her a small smile.

“Come to see me later, Satsu,” Buffy said and that earned her a little smile from the other girl.

“Yes, ma’am.” Satsu vowed slightly again before banishing in the air.

Buffy sighed and chuckled.

“I still can’t believe that I find it sexy when she calls me ma’am,” Buffy whispered to herself. After a few moments, she smiled brightly. “They’re going to win. The Oracles are never wrong, they’re going to win.”

“It’s nice to see you enjoying life, finally,” a voice said behind Buffy.

Buffy turned around and faced a golden-haired woman in her late thirties. She had the most striking blue eyes, high cheek bones and full rosy lips. The older woman was wearing a white halter beach dress and sandals. Yes, she and her daughter were like two drops of water.

“It’s not easy. But who would have thought, huh? I had to die to find peace, to learn how to forgive Faith, to realize what a wonderful young woman my little sister had became and how… much I missed the company of somebody,” Buffy said. “Isn’t that a bit ironic, Amelia?”

“No, it’s not really. But you didn’t quit the job, you’re still the boss.”

“I have to help, Amelia,” Buffy said.

“Oh, I know. I know, darling,” Amelia said and gave her a small smile.

“Did ya need anything from me, Amelia?” Buffy asked.

“Actually, Joyce asked me to come get you. She was waiting for you,” Amelia said.

“And..?” Buffy smiled knowingly.

“And I wanted to know how is my baby girl and grandchildren,” Amelia replied. “You’re allowed to watch, after all.”

Buffy laughed.

“Tara is…more beautiful every day. And bigger too. The twins are perfectly fine. Don’t worry, I got my best warriors looking after them,” Buffy reassured her.

Amelia gave her a lop-side smile that was just like her daughter’s.

“I know but I still worry. A mother never stops worrying, you know?” Amelia said.

“I know. C’mon, let’s go for a run with mom.”


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



“How are you feeling, baby?”

Willow and Tara were in bed after the long day. Tara kept playing with the amber stone with her fingers….She couldn’t believe it… The blonde Wiccan left the necklace on the night table and looked at Willow.

“I don’t know, really…”

“It’s okay, baby,” Willow said and grabbed her hand.

“I never thought I would ever see that necklace again and now…mom still loves me. She still thinks of me…Before I used to believe it but now…I know…”

“I know, baby…I get it.”

“I’m tired…Goodnight, Will. I love you.” Tara smiled at Willow and placed a sweet kiss on Willow’s lips.

“Love you too, baby. Night.” Tara made an attempt to move but Willow stopped her, “Wait, wait, I haven’t said goodnight to our babies yet.”

Tara smiled as she watched Willow lowered her body and placed a sweet kiss on Tara’s belly through the fabric of Tara’s nightie. They did this everything night: Willow would insist in saying goodnight to the twins.

“Goodnight, baby boy, goodnight, baby girl. Now, listen to mommy, no bothering mom tonight, okay? Because if you move too much, then mom won’t be able to sleep. Be good tonight, please?” Willow told the belly in front of her face.

Willow kissed Tara’s belly again and then kissed her lips.

“Baby, could you sing something? I miss hearing you sing,” Willow asked.

“Alright.”

Tara got comfortable on her back and Willow spooned her side. As usual, Willow placed her hand on Tara’s belly. The blonde thought for a moment, searching through her mind for a good song… Since she couldn’t think of any, she sang the first one that came to mind.

Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea


Willow fell asleep quickly just after the twins kicked one more time, as if saying goonight...

Ha, I love that Buffy's basically taken over Heaven. Awesome.

Lol. I don't read the comics ('cause really, no Buffy without Tara) but I've heard about her so I think Buffy's little "I find it sexy when she calls me ma'am" line was funny :D

Aww @ Tara's mom asking Buffy about Tara and the babies!

I love Tara singing to Willow *swoon* Watch out for her doing it soon in Hacker! :wink

Great chapter! Can't wait for more!

Yay for excellent update-y goodness... Good that the nature of Guardians is somewhat resolved... Big yay for Amelia wanting to find out what's happening to Tara and the babies... I wonder if we are going to see Satsu taking "care" of Buffy some time...

Hey Alex I'm finally getting my reviews up for ya

Chapter 28 I really like the way that Willow is determined to not let Tara lift anything heavier than a pillow during their house move and the fact that Willow doesn’t believe Tara when she says she doesn’t want to hear the gossips is a nice, little humorous touch.
Glad to see that Dawn and Faith are in a happy relationship together, hopefully it’ll last a long as Willow and Tara’s has.
Really like the way that both Will and Tara warn Faith about what they will do if she breaks Dawn’s heart. The quick flash of black in Willow’s eyes is a nice touch too as it reminds us how powerful a witch she really is.

Chapter 29 Thank you so much for using the fight sequence I wrote for you. I was really concerned that it wasn’t good enough a fight but the way you have used it really makes it work.
Really like the way that you have Giles become Ripper and Willow has to explain it to Faith has she has never seen that side of Giles.
Willow and Tara having twins YAY.
I love the way that Willow and share that moment of joy and happiness together. It emphasises the love that the two girls share for each other and why we love them so much.
‘”You’re the most amazing thing that ever happened to me” Willow whispered to Tara.’
‘”I feel that way too, you saved me from them, from myself, from my fears and insecurities, I don’t know what I did to deserve all this but I have it and I love you so much” Tara replied her voice cracking a little.’
Beautiful couple of sentences with the girls telling each other how much they mean to one another, very sweet.
Nice that Willow wants Xander to be godfather to one of the twins.
Chapter 30 Like the fact that Faith is more concerned about what the others think of Dawn than of herself.
Really nice reaction from Xander on being asked to be a godfather to one of the twins and placing a small kiss on Willow and Tara’s foreheads is a nice sweet touch showing how he genuinely cares about them both.
I can understand Xander’s reaction to catching Dawn and Faith together in the kitchen, especially after Faith threatened Willow in season 3. However it is good to see that Giles is understanding and accepting if somewhat surprised at Dawn and Faith’s relationship.
‘“Wish you many happy orgasms together,” smiled Anya’ really nice line for Anya and bang on character too, a character I’ve found hard to write for.
I like the way that Willow tells Xander to back off from Dawn and Faith’s relationship reminding him of how he supported hers and Tara’s when they met.
‘“Give them a chance. We promised Buffy to be Dawn’s family, remember? Family supports each other Xander.”’

Cool sentiments, makes me wish for a family like that.
‘“Thanks Willster…for not letting me behave more like an asshole than I already did.”
Willow turned around and gave him a small smile
“You’re my best friend” she replied before leaving the room”’
Again more wonderful dialogue between the characters, here Willow and Xander showing what a close friendship they really do have and how close they are to one another.
Chapter 31 Finally we have some idea as to what is going on with the vampires and what they are up to with their plan to open the Hellmouth.
I’m guessing that Dawn has some power still within her that could prevent the vamps from opening said Hellmouth, but at least the story is moving forward a bit more now so hopefully we can expect some more action based chapters to come.
As for the chapter itself, it’s excellently written, as are the others so far in this story. Have to agree with Laragh though, I don’t think it was ever completely mentioned about Hellmouth’s and Slayer’s. Giles just refers to there being another one in Cleveland.
Chapter 32 Nice start to the chapter with Willow discovering she is a legend on the Sunnydale High Campus through being Tara’s girlfriend and having taught there. Love love love that Tara is going to be elected teacher of the year at the prom YAY. Presumably, she’ll get this award every year she’s a teacher at Sunnydale.
Love how Tara knows that the twins love both her and Willow just through their kicks.
Chapter 33 Nice start to the chapter with Faith finally opening up to Dawn on things she has done in the past. It shows how close the two of them have become. Then Faith’s reaction when Dawn reveals that she was a virgin when they first made love shows a great integrity the dark slayer has for her girlfriend and hopefully people in general.
Beautiful little scene where Willow reassures Tara that she will always be around for her girl and their babies. The story that Willow relates is a sweet touch and the way that it is written showing Willows hesitation’s, as she herself knows that storytelling is not her forte.
Some more nice witty lines from Anya too.

Chapter 34 Hmm, intriguing chapter, what exactly is the prophecy referring to? Will Tara and Dawn leave Sunnydale or stay to fight with their lovers and friends? Who are the two newcomers, well ok, one of them is Satsu from the comics but who’s the other newcomer? Why did Xander say ‘“Or how Willow knocked Tara up”’? Has he been married to Anya too long? Will any of these questions be answered? Tune in to Fire and Life, Same Willow & Tara time, same Willow & Tara channel only on the KittenBoard.

and another on chapter 35

Pretty cool chapter with the angels finally making their presence known to the scoobies and the special items for Willow and Tara. Why Mr. Maclay would throw such a precious item as the piece of Amber on the cord is beyond my though. I guess it just goes to show how much of a dickhead he really is.

I like the fact that Buffy knows how much Tara means to Willow and how volatile she could be if her lover is ever hurt in any way. ALmost as if she saw season 6.

And even more of the story is becoming clearer as we discover there is a big battle due, but are Dawn and Tara going to be there or do they have to leave town for a while.

HEY PEOPLE!!!!! IM BACK!!!!!!!!!

Took me a few days but Im SERIOUSLY proud of this scene... This happens the night before Tara and Dawn leave Sunnydale and go to LA....

DISCLAIMER:: I used a quote from the movie Deep Blue Ocean. I dont own it. I dont really know who made the movie but Im just using that quote for a moment.



CHAPTER 36- Never say goodbye, part I




“ Einstein's theory of relativity. Grab hold of a hot pan, a second can seem like an hour. Put your hands on a hot woman, an hour can seem like a second. It's all relative.”



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




“I’m scared, I feel like this is the last time we’re going to be together. I don’t like it,” Tara finally said, as if they had been talking constantly.

Willow and Tara were snuggling in bed. Willow’s head was resting on Tara’s chest and her hand was caressing Tara’s belly. It was so huge that Tara couldn’t believe how she did to move around. Willow loved it, though, and the redhead also loved how Tara’s breasts were even fuller now that she was so close to give birth…

“Baby, don’t worry, please. It’s just for a few days. I promise you as soon as we’re done here I’ll go get you. Okay?” Willow promised. “Do you feel okay? Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?” Willow got an idea and grinned sensually. “Maybe some Willow-lovin’?”

“I always want to make love with you but I feel that if we do, it’s going to be like a goodbye and I don’t want that,” Tara said and sighed.

Willow propped herself on her elbow and looked down at Tara. The redhead brought up her hand and caressed Tara’s cheek.

“This isn’t a goodbye, love.” Willow’s eyes met Tara’s. “This would be me loving you. Goddess, Tara, I love you so much…I need to make love to you, please, Tare…”

“I love you so much too, Willow,” Tara said back and placed her hand on top of Willow’s, that was still on her cheek. “Promise me this isn’t a goodbye. Promise me you don’t want to make love because this may be the last time-”

Willow cupped Tara’s face with her hand and kissed her softly.

“This isn’t a goodbye,” Willow reassured her after pulling away. “I want to make love to you because I love you and I want you and you look so beautiful pregnant that I don’t know…I can’t keep my hands and eyes off you…”

“Oh, Willow…”

Willow kissed Tara’s lips and Tara instantly responded to the kiss. Their lips moved against each other expertly, caressing the tender flesh. The kiss was so wonderful, so perfect…Each kiss felt like home…

Willow’s eyes looked into Tara’s and the blonde nodded slightly.

The redhead took her time…She traced a path down Tara’s jaw line and neck. The redhead kissed and nibbled the skin of Tara’s pulse point, making the blonde gasp. Willow kept kissing down to Tara’s collarbone as her hands unbuttoned Tara’s top. She helped Tara sit up and Tara took her shirt and bra off, leaving her clad in only her panties. Willow’s mouth watered at the sight of Tara’s even fuller breasts and the semi-erect nipples…

“Baby, I love you being pregnant,” Willow breathed out, her voice lazed with wanton desire and love.

Tara smiled somehow shyly and kept her eyes on Willow’s face. Tara never felt more beautiful than when Willow was watching her with those green eyes as emeralds. When Willow looked at her she was the most beautiful woman on Earth, in Willow’s eyes she was a Goddess that could do anything…When Willow looked at her…Tara believed that she was the wonderful and beautiful person her lover always said she was…

Tara placed her hands flat on the mattress and used them to support her so she stood in that position, letting Willow look at her lustfully. She could see Willow’s eyes turning a darker shade of green and that made her head spin with desire…

Willow took in the sight of Tara like that: the blonde’s eyes were as dark as the deepest ocean; her luscious lips were slightly parted; her breasts were even fuller and rounded now and the hard nipples were fuller as well, in such a delicious way that Willow wanted nothing more than take them in her mouth. The redhead’s eyes roamed freely south, over the smooth, big and rounded belly where their number one priorities were growing…She found Tara the sexiest woman on Earth, but pregnant Tara…The blonde wasn’t the only one who suffered sometimes because of the hormones. Willow never thought she’d would find a pregnant woman so sexy but again, it was Tara…Tara made everything to look sexy…

“Goddess, baby, I love you so much…you’re so beautiful, inside and out…”

“I love you too, Willow. You always make me feel beautiful,” Tara whispered, her voice already heavy with desire.

“You are, baby,” Willow confirmed and smiled. Her eyes met Tara’s once again and she forgot about everything…Like many times before, Willow got lost in the depths of Tara’s eyes: you could see the world in them. Willow could see love and life in them. It didn’t matter that she knew Tara wasn’t perfect, because in Willow’s eyes…she was…

“Will…could you…take your clothes off?” Tara asked and Willow’s eyes sparkled at the shy undertone in her girlfriend’s voice.

Tara’s words made her realized she was still wearing the over-size t-shirt and her underwear. Willow gave her a sensual grin as she grabbed the hem of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head and threw it across the room. Tara licked her lips unconsciously when she saw Willow reached back to unclasp her bra, which quickly followed the same direction as the t-shirt…

Willow knew that look in Tara’s so she sat back on her heels and let Tara observe her…Since Tara got pregnant, their lover making was usually more hurried, they hadn’t really taken the time to observe each other like they used to…

And there was just too much to look: Willow’s beautiful and lustful eyes; her delicious lips; that cute collarbone Tara loved to kiss and nibble on; those perk breasts and raspberry nipples that drove her crazy with desire; the flat and smooth stomach; the slender womanly hips that Tara usually held on to when they were making lover…Tara loved everything about Willow, both the good things and the not-so-good things…Tara was proud of being able to call Willow hers and the blonde knew her redhead lover wasn’t perfect but in her eyes…Willow was.

Their eyes met once more and they knew…Willow moved closer and brought up her hands to caress Tara’s silky hair. The redhead used her soft hold on Tara’s hair to pull the blonde closer so their lips could meet in a soft passionate kiss…

Their lips moved expertly against each other…Their mouths worked together, the kiss slowly escalating into a more heated and hurried kiss…Their tongues started fighting for dominance. Tara brought up her hands as well to stroke her lover’s hair. She loved to do it, she loved that silky red hair…

“Baby, do you want to lay down? I don’t want you to get too tired,” Willow suggested as soon as they pulled apart.

“I’m not tired but yes, lying down sounds good,” Tara hurried to say.

Tara laid down on the pillows and Willow laid down next to her. The redhead propped herself on her elbow and smiled at her girlfriend peacefully.

Willow’s smiled grew bigger and leaned in to kiss Tara’s lips as her free hand traced circles on Tara’s belly.

“I love you and it’s so easy to get lost in your eyes, baby.” Willow kissed Tara again and this time her hand made its way up while Willow started tracing a path with her lips down to Tara’s neck and collarbone. Willow licked the length of Tara’s collarbone and the blonde shivered when the action sent a bolt of pleasure straight to her core, which was followed by a flood of juices…

Willow started placing a series of kisses around Tara’s left breast, obviously avoided touching the nipple that was begging to be sucked into the redhead’s mouth. As Willow worked her magic with her lips, adding a bit of tongue, the redhead’s hand was cupped Tara’s right breast and was slowly massaging the tender flesh. Willow got a deep throaty moan from Tara for that…

Tara’s left hand was brought up to entwine her fingers with Willow’s hair and tried to make Willow take the nipple into her mouth. Willow smirked…She wrapped her lips around Tara’s nipple and sucked as hard as she could, causing Tara to arch her back as much as she could into the touch and moaned loudly. The blonde’s right hand grabbed the sheet to gain some control…

“Goddess, Willow…I…more…” Tara gasped for air again and closed her eyes.

Willow left the breast she was playing with and kept kissing her way south. The redhead started placing the kisses all over Tara’s belly. She loved kissing Tara’s belly, it was impossible to resist…Willow’s kisses were going south when Tara spoke again.

“Will, I want you up here,” Tara managed to breathe out.

Willow grinned and kissed her way up, stopping only to place a kiss on the still wet nipple. The redhead placed her hand flat on the mattress by Tara’s ribcage so she wouldn’t lay any weight on Tara. Willow leaned in and took the neglected nipple into her mouth, causing Tara’s back to arch again…

“Goddess, yes! Please, Will…I need you…”

As Willow kept circling the nipple with her tongue, the redhead’s hand caressed its way down, over Tara’s belly, down to her hips and thigh. Willow caressed Tara’s inner thigh and her fingertips tickled the short hairs of Tara’s sex…

Tara’s hips bucked, trying to get Willow to touch her but the redhead kept tickling the short hairs, not giving her any kind of friction. Tara couldn’t take it anymore, the ache between her legs was unbearable by now, she was closer to the edge, she could feel it…

“Ummmm, Willow…don’t tease…”

The fingertips of Willow’s fingers kept tickling and teasing Tara by caressing up and down the blonde’s slit…

Two of Willow’s fingers started exploring the well known territory of Tara’s sex, getting the blonde to cried out of pleasure. Willow bit her lips at the amazing sensation of touching Tara, of feeling the wetness of her girlfriend’s liquid pleasure covering her hand, of the heavenly moans coming from Tara’s beautiful mouth. Willow’s fingers circled Tara’s entrance and the redhead couldn’t think of a more beautiful sight: Tara, sweaty and moaning, her mouth opened and her head bent back; her eyes, dark with desire, unfocused and foggy. Nothing was more beautiful than Tara. Well, there was: a pregnant, sweaty and moaning Tara…

“Will, please…Can’t…take it…anymore…” Tara moaned as Willow started circling her clit slowly, barely putting pressure on the throbbing bundle of nerves.

Tara’s hips were bucking wildly, trying to get more friction on her clit…more…something! Tara was going insane! She was on the edge and by the Goddess she wanted to fall over. She wanted to fall into that abyss of pure bliss, ecstasy and above all, love, that only Willow could take her to…

“Hoooooolyyyy…” Willow’s fingers slowly entered her and Tara’s back arched off the bed. “Goddess, yes! Willow! Please…”

Willow started a pumping motion with her fingers, in and out, getting louder and louder moans from her blonde lover. The redhead leaned in and whispered in her lover’s ear.

“Keep your eyes open, baby. Let me see you while you come…Love you,” Willow whispered. The redhead moved her wrist a little so the heel of her hand was in constant with Tara’s clit.

Tara made the huge effort to keep her eyes open and looked at Willow…Her whole world exploded and all she could see was Willow… The blonde cried out but Tara could only see Willow’s wonderful eyes that were full of love. Tara’s back arched all it could and all Tara could see was the pure adoration in Willow’s eyes as wave after wave of the most intense orgasm of her life rippled through her body…Willow was all Tara could see: Willow and the adorable way her nose would wrinkle when she laughed; Willow showing her over and over again how much she loved her…

“You’re so beautiful, Tare. And I love you so much, baby, so much. You make so happy. You gave me so many wonderful things and I don’t know what I’d do without you, baby,” Willow whispered in her lover’s ear as she came down from her heights.

Willow carefully snuggled up to Tara’s side. She rested her head on Tara’s chest and listened to the blonde’s racing heart slowly go back to its usual rhythm.

“I love you too,” was the first thing Tara said once she could speak again. “Goddess, Willow, you…you’re the love of my life and I…"

Willow saw tears in Tara’s eyes again and hugged her. Tara wrapped her arms around Willow as much as she could and closed her eyes to stop the tears. Willow placed a kiss on Tara’s cheek and rested her forehead against the side of Tara’s head.

“It’s okay, baby. I’m scared too. But we’re going to be okay, we’re going to be okay, baby. Nothing’s going to happen to us. You know how I know?”

“How?” Tara asked and Willow’s heart broke at hearing the desperate undertone in her girlfriend’s voice.

“Because I have faith, because I know that we’re going to win. And I know we’re going to win because I know you’ll be safe. I can’t fight, hell, I can’t breathe if I know you’re not safe. I’ll fight my best because of you. Because I love you, and our babies, and I know you’ll be waiting for me, that you three are going to be…Please, don’t be afraid, baby…”

“I love you, Willow.” Tara looked up.

“I love you too, Tare.” Willow looked too and her eyes met Tara’s.

And in that moment they both knew it...they were going to win...they'd be okay...


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

So sad that Tara and Dawn have to go, but so smart that they're leaving. Hopefully Dawn will be able to make Tara behave and stay away from the fighting...

Yay for excellent update-y goodness... Good that both Tara and Dawnie are going to be safe in LA (I truly hope so)... Tara & Dawn being safe is going to be a big motivational bonus for Willow & Faith... Can't wait to read about Faith's and Dawn's night of naughtiness...

Beautiful piece of smut there where it's shown that it's not just about the girls having sex, but also how Willow and Tara feel about each other on a deeper level too. How much they genuinely love one another which is demonstrated nicely in lines like

"I love you and it's so esy to get lost in your eye's baby, said Willow."

Or Tara's thought

Tara was proud of being able to call Willow hers. She knew the redhead wasn't perfect...but in her eyes she was.

These lines just sum up so eloquently the real love our favourite girls have for each other.

And what do you mean by do we want to see chapter 37??? Of course we want to see chapter 37 and if you don't write a chapter 37 I'm just gonna have to go over there and kick your ass. WE WANT A CHAPTER 37 AND WE WANT IT NOW. :wtkiss

Hey Alex !
Okey, I'm soooo sorry for how late i am..as usual, well you know..working XD

Anyway, that was a really amazing chapter. As everyone before me already said it, you wrote their emotions so well it wasn't just a sex scene, it was more of an "i love you" scene.

Keep it up =D ! (and YES, of course i want that chapter 37 ! ^^)

HEY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! IM BACK!!!!!!!!

I really hope you all like this Chapter... There are a couple of things that I wanted to point out with this Chapter.

A- How F/D relationship is growing stronger and deeper.

B- How Tara and Faith's friendship is growing as well...even if we didnt see it much....

C- And how Willow and Faith have reached something similar to a friendship.

Anyway...I'll leave you to the Chapter....




CHAPTER 37- Never say goodbye, part II




“Are you seriously going to do that the whole night?”

Dawn, annoyed, crossed her arms across her chest and looked down at her girlfriend, who was doing push-ups on the floor by the bed. Faith stood up and began to stretch her arms and her legs.

“I didn’t go to patrol and need to burn off the energy. You know I can’t sleep if I don’t. But don’t worry, D, I’m goin’ downstairs. Won’t bother ya,” Faith said as she put on a pair of sweatpants.

“Faith, hello!” Dawn waved a hand in the air. “Girlfriend right here? It’s kinda a duty and a pleasure to help you with that, you know? And I don’t want you to go downstairs because I’m leaving tomorrow and don’t wanna be alone and I want to be with you and please, stay?” Dawn finished her mini-babble and looked at Faith with pleading puppy-dog-eyes. Faith sighed.

“Sorry, babe. But you know I can just go downstairs. Won’t be able to sleep and…” Faith frowned slightly. “I’m kinda not in the mood, for that, really.”

Faith looked down and brought up her hand to rub her neck.

“You’re not in the mood? You? Okay. Who are you and what have you done to my girlfriend?” Dawn joked and chuckled.

“I’m bein’ serious, D,” Faith said, serious.

Dawn sighed.

“I know that, okay? I’m just…trying to laugh to not feel that this is the last time I see you and you’re just…ARGH!!!!!!!” Dawn threw her hands in the air, frustrated, and let out a long sigh. “Do whatever you want, Faith.”

Dawn walked past her and went to the living room. The former Key started pacing around and the living room trying to calm herself down. The brunette stomped her foot down and sighed again.

Faith took a deep breath and followed her.

“I’m sorry, D. Please, forgive me,” Faith said as soon as she got to the living room.

Dawn stopped pacing and crossed her arms across her chest again.

“For the last few days you’ve been pushing me away, Faith. And I get it, you’re the Slayer, you need to think as the Slayer and for God’s sake, I swear I get it. Buffy was my sister, after all, remember?”

“D…” Faith took a step forward but Dawn held up and hand and the Slayer stopped.

“Let me finish. Yes, you are the Slayer and I get that, okay? And I’m trying to be understanding, I’m seriously trying. But I’d like it if for atleast…20 minutes you were just…Faith. I’d like to have a conversation, or maybe make love, with my girlfriend for atleast a few minutes. I need…I need to know that I’m not alone in this, okay? But I can’t do that if you keep pushing me away…"

Faith walked to her and wrapped her arms around Dawn’s shoulders. The brunette sighed and finally gave in: she didn’t uncross her arms but she rested her head on Faith’s shoulder.

“I’m scared, Faith.” Dawn said. “I’m scared that something is going to happen to you, or Willow, or Xander or Giles and that one of you may die, especially you and I don’t wanna loose you and am I a bad person for worrying more about you than Willow or Xander or Giles? Because that’s how I’m feeling right now and I-”

“It’s okay, babe, it’s okay,” Faith cut her off. The Slayer began to stroke her girlfriend’s long hair. “I’m not goin’ to die, D, you hear me? I’m not leavin’ ya alone. And I don’t think you worry more about me than the others, I think you worry about all of us.”

Dawn wrapped her arms around Faith’s waist and held onto her for dear life…The Slayer could feel the taller brunette shaking slightly so she pressed her lips to the side of Dawn’s head.

“Please, D…Everything’s going to be okay, babe, we’re goin’ to beat this. What if I promise to take you out on a date once we’re in LA together?” Faith suggested, trying to make her feel better. “Would that make you feel better?”

Dawn looked up and rested her cheek on Faith’s shoulder.

“A date? An actual date?” Faith could see her girlfriend’s eyes sparkling with the idea. “Like…our first official date?”

“I know I never took you out on an actual date, D. And I’m sorry, babe. But I promise you I’d take you on a date, ‘kay? When this whole shit is over, I will…”

A small smile appeared on Dawn’s lips.

“You don’t have to take me on dates, you know? I like it just being with you,” Dawn said.

Dawn moved her head so her chin was resting on Faith’s shoulder. The Slayer tucked a strand of hair behind Dawn’s ear and lowered her head a little to kiss the side of Dawn’s head.

“I want to take you on dates, babe. I do.” After a few seconds of silence, Faith opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but then closed it again. Faith took a deep breath. “I…I’m…”

“What is it?”

Dawn tried to pull away so she could see her girlfriend but Faith didn’t let her. The Slayer shook her head slightly to indicate she wanted to stay that way.

“I…I am…I’m scared,” Faith admitted. “I wanted you to know that is okay to be scared ‘cause I am too, babe. And lately…a lot of things scare me.”

“I’m going to be okay, Faith. Tara and I will be okay in LA while you and Willow kick ass,” Dawn reassured her.

“I know that, D. And I’m scared about that but…that’s not all…Everything….is scary lately…”

“Do you want to talk about it? We could sit and talk…if you want to,” Dawn said, giving her the chance to talk about it or no.

“Come here…”

Faith led her to the couch and made Dawn lay down on her side, which surprised the brunette even more when Faith laid down on her side in front of her and made Dawn wrap her arms around her. For a moment Dawn was shocked: Faith had never wanted to be in that position, she never wanted to be held before…And realization finally hit her like a ton of bricks…

After a long silence, Dawn managed to clear her throat a little.

“We don’t have to talk about this right now, you know?” Dawn offered a way out.

“This never happened to me before, D. You gotta understand,” Faith suddenly said.

“What do you mean with this?”

“This…everything…I never had any friends, I never thought I needed them, I never…got along with people. I never…felt welcome in any place…and us…Us is what scares me the most, D,” Faith admitted.

“Being with me scares you, Faith?” Dawn asked calmly.

“Bein’ with ya is easy, D. Havin’ a relationship with ya? Scares the shit outta me,” Faith explained.

“Why?” Dawn knew she had to stay calm, Faith needed her to remain calm and supportive and she would be.

“‘Cause I…never felt like this way before…I never trusted a person before, never cared…” Faith gulped and took a deep breath. She knew she could do it, it was Dawn after all, she could trust Dawn…she had to tell her…

“It’s okay. This is new for both of us, Faith. This is scary, I know. Sometimes, scary things can be…good things,” Dawn said.

“I guess but…I don’t know…this whole deal is…” Faith closed her eyes and took another deep breath. “Guess I’m just waitin’ for you to realize that you don’t really wanna be with me and leave me.”

Dawn sighed and tightened her hold on her girlfriend.

“Listen to me, Faith. I’m not going to leave you. I’m in this for real, okay? I’ll only leave when you tell me you don’t want me anymore,” Dawn said.

“I…I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of you, D,” Faith said slowly…

“Then, I’ll never leave you. I told you, Faith, even if we don’t work as a couple, I’ll always be here for you,” Dawn said.

“This shit is really confusin’…” Faith muttered.

“What is?”

“Feelin’ like this…”

“How?”

Faith turned around, not breaking her lover’s embrace and placed her hand on Dawn’s hip. The Slayer pulled their lowers halves together and leaned in enough so her lips brushed Dawn’s when she spoke.

“What you say if show ya?” There was no sensuality in Faith’s voice, no. Her voice was tick with all the emotion Faith wasn’t able to say out loud.

“You’re going to show me?” Dawn couldn’t believe that Faith had changed the mood so quickly. The former Key cleared her throat and let go of Faith slowly. “Faith, baby, I thought we were going to sleep. I…I think I’m going to bed, yeah.”

Dawn quickly kissed Faith’s forehead and practically ran upstairs.

Faith sat up on the couch and frowned.

'What the fuck…D never says no to sex…' Faith thought.

Faith waited for a few minutes and then walked upstairs and entered her lover’s bedroom. Dawn was putting her clothes in the laundry basket she had by her closet and walked back to the bed. Faith’s hormones couldn’t help to notice how sexy Dawn looked wearing nothing but a baby pink spaghetti strap tank top and matching boy shorts with nothing else underneath. The Slayer’s sense focused on not jumping her right there and then.

“Are you going to come to bed or stand there all night long?” Dawn asked as she got into bed.

Dawn covered herself with the duvet and turn off the light from the lamp on her night table, the only light in the room came from the other lamp on the other night table.

Faith took off her socks and sweatpants. The Slayer walked to the laundry basket and dropped the clothes in it. Then she pulled her black tank top over her head and dropped it inside the basket as well, followed by her bra. The Slayer walked towards the bed, wearing nothing but her black boxers, and got in before turning off the lamp from the night table by her side. Faith laid there in silence for a few minutes before she moved closer to Dawn. She didn’t like to lay there, staring at her girlfriend’s back. Dawn had never done that before…

Faith moved closer so she was spooning Dawn from behind. What the hell had she done now? Dawn didn’t move or gave any indication that she could feel Faith behind her, which was completely weird, since Dawn loved to cuddle, and impossible not to notice, because Faith’s naked breasts were pressing against her back.

“D, are you awake?” Faith whispered in case her girlfriend was asleep.

Dawn was wide awake and she was very, very, very aware of her half-naked girlfriend spooning her. But she couldn’t give in, she couldn’t…

“D, I know you’re awake. What the hell is goin’ on? Why are you actin’ like this?” Faith asked.

Dawn sighed.

“I’m tired, Faith. I want to sleep,” was all Dawn said.

Faith sat up on the bed and reached out to turn on the lamp again.

“What the hell is wrong? What did I do now?” ‘Cause it’s okay if you’re not in the mood but you never said no to sex before. And an hour ago you wanted to,” Faith said, confused.

Dawn didn’t even look at her.

“D! What the fuck! You’re always sayin’ we need to talk about our feelings. I talked about mine, and you know that was hard for me. Now you freak out and…I don’t know what I did wrong. What did I do wrong, babe?”

“You didn’t do anything wrong, Faith,” Dawn said and sat up as well. “For God’s sake, cover up, please.” The brunette lowered her head to not look at Faith’s naked torso.

“This is how I sleep. You never complained before,” Faith said. Finally, she grabbed the sheets and covered herself with it. “Happy?”

“I know you sleep like that but…not tonight, please,” Dawn said.

“Why?” Faith asked, still confused.

Dawn sighed.

“Faith, please,” Dawn begged.

“No, you always say that we gotta talk to each other. Then fuckin’ talk to me,” Faith said.

“You drive me crazy, Faith,” Dawn said and sighed. “I see you and I want you. I see you and I feel like a hormonal, out of control teenager! And I usually enjoy feeling like that and making love with you but…not tonight.”

“Why not? Babe, don’t you know that’s how I feel too? I see you and can’t think of anything else but to…push you against the wall and take you, right there. I see you and I can’t help to become a hormonal teenager,” Faith admitted.

“Faith, please, let it go,” Dawn said and closed her eyes to erase the images Faith’s words had given her.

“D, talk to me. What is wrong?” Faith asked.

“I really want you, okay? I do, all the time. But I…feel that if we make love tonight…I’m afraid I’m going to feel like we’re saying goodbye. I don’t want to make love because you…something may happen to you during the battle. Okay?”

Faith sighed.

“Babe…”

Faith scooted closer and wrapped her arms around Dawn. The former Key instantly leaned into the warm embrace and rested her head in the crock of Faith’s neck, forgetting that Faith was half-naked.

“It’s going to be okay, babe. Promise ya, nothing is goin’ to happen to me. And don’t worry, we don’t have to have s…to make love. But I promise you I’ll be okay. Do you trust me?”

“I do,” Dawn said. She didn’t hesitate. She trusted Faith with her life.

“Do you believe in me?” Faith needed to hear that her girlfriend believed in her because if Dawn did…then she would live…she would win…

Once again, Dawn didn’t hesitate.

“I do.”

'Do you love me?' Faith thought unconsciously. The Slayer wanted to ask that question but she didn’t. She barely acknowledged it. Instead, the Slayer stared into Dawn’s eyes and let her eyes show all the emotion she couldn’t voice.

Dawn reached out to run her fingers through Faith’s dark hair and grabbed a handful. The brunette pulled her girlfriend to her so they could kiss.

Dawn didn’t waste time and parted Faith’s lips with her own; her tongue worked its way into the Slayer’s mouth and instantly fought for dominance with Faith’s.

The former Key slowly rose to her knees, never breaking the kiss, and tugged the sheet away. Faith happily let go of it and brought up had hands to caressed Dawn’s long silky hair but the Slayer suddenly found herself on her back. Dawn was still kissing her and the brunette swung her leg over Faith’s so she was straddling Faith’s hips.

“D, what the fuck…” Faith was shocked. Dawn had never acted like that…it was kinda sexy though… Dawn placed her hands on the mattress, one by each shoulder’s side, and looked down at Faith seriously.

“Promise me you won’t die. Promise me you’ll come back to me alive, Faith.” Dawn looked at her with such intensity that Faith thought she was looking at somebody else. She had never seen such fire in her girlfriend’s eyes. “Please, Faith…” Dawn’s voice cracked a little and Faith could notice the desperation her girlfriend was trying hard to hide.

“I promise you, Dawn…I promise you,” Faith vowed. “D-”

“Shut up,” Dawn cut her off. “Just kiss me.”

Dawn kissed her again, more forcefully this time. He tongue found its way inside Faith’s mouth and right away Dawn made sure her girlfriend knew she was taking control that night.

Faith’s head was spinning with desire…and a bit of confusion. Dawn had never acted that way before, and she had never surrendered so easily to anybody. Okay, Faith had never given up control before to a lover. But again, Dawn wasn’t just any lover…Dawn was special…

Dawn’s hands grabbed Faith’s breasts almost roughly and pinched her girlfriend’s taut nipples, making Faith arch into her touch. The former Key broke the kiss and started tracing a path from Faith’s lips down to her jaw line and neck.

Faith felt Dawn start nibbling on her pulse point and groaned. The Slayer tilted her head to the side to give her more room…For the first time, Faith realized that she wanted that. No just be marked, but she wanted somebody she trusted enough to give up control…she wanted what Dawn made her feel and she highly doubted somebody else would ever make her feel like that…

“Holy fuck!” Faith cried out when one of Dawn’s legs sneaked in between hers and made contact with her already throbbing sex. It was incredible how fast Dawn could turn her on… “Mark me, D.” It was a needy whisper and Dawn gladly sucked harder, happy to oblige and leave her mark on her girlfriend.

Faith bent her leg up a little and both girls started moving against each other, groans and cries of pleasure soon filled the room along their heavy breathings.

Faith’s hands grabbed the hem of Dawn’s skimpy tank top and tried to take it off. The former Key quickly pulled apart and sat up, causing them both to moan at the extra-friction, long enough to pull the tank top over her head, throw it across the room and her mouth attached to Faith’s pulse point again while her hands went to pinch and tease Faith’s breasts.

“D, fuck…”

Dawn drew a circle with her tongue over the love bite she had given her girlfriend and kissed her way down to Faith’s left breast. The Slayer arched her back into the touch when Dawn took the nipple into her mouth and bit down on it the bundle of nerves softly.

“Fuck! D, that feels fuckin’ great!”

Faith’s fingernails left a trace behind as she literally scratched her way from Dawn’s arms to the brunette’s shoulder blades and down to her ass, which the Slayer grabbed roughly making her girlfriend cried out. Faith used her hold on Dawn’s cotton clad ass to make her grind harder and faster against her, causing them both to moan and cry out. Dawn let go of Faith’s nipple with an audible ‘pop’. The brunette kissed and licked the valley between Faith’s breasts as her hand occupied the place where her mouth had been.

“God, Faith…UMMM, Yes! There!” Dawn grinded harder against Faith’s thigh and felt her orgasm getting closer and closer…Dawn took the other nipple into her mouth and gave it the same treatment she had gave the other.

One of Faith’s hands snaked to play with her breast while the other slid under Dawn’s underwear and grabbed Dawn’s ass cheek. Faith loved Dawn’s ass…she could spend hours just worshipping that glorious rounded and perfect ass…

Dawn never told Faith about it but she loved it when Faith scratched her back. She loved being marked by her girlfriend as much as she loved to mark Faith. The brunette was sure nobody would even make her feel like that: hungry, like a predator; sexually confident; but above all, she had never felt more beautiful and sexy before…only Faith could make her feel like that…

“Fuck, D, I need more!” Faith groaned. She could feel she was close but the fabric of their underwear did nothing to help them fall over the edge.

“Me too!”

Faith tugged at Dawn’s boy shorts but the brunette didn’t want to move away.

“Rip them!” Dawn cried out and felt the pleasure pooling in her sex when she heard that tearing sound of the as Faith ripped her underwear in both sides. The Slayer threw the now useless boy shorts away groaned in frustration when she realized they’d have to move if she wanted to remove hers.

As if sensing her lover’s predicaments, Dawn sat up, on her knees, and jerked away Faith’s boxers. She admired the toned, muscled body of her girlfriend for a second before she straddled her again and pulled her up into a sitting position, their lips crashing together again. They were kissing with wanton passion, teeth clashing and biting and tongues fighting…

“Hoooolyyyyy Fuuuuck!!!!!!” Faith threw her head back and cried out when suddenly two of Dawn’s fingers were inside her pumping in and out furiously. “D, fuck!”

Faith’s hand found its way to Dawn’s dripping sex and quickly entered her, causing the brunette’s eyes to roll into the back of her head as she cried out.

“Faith, God! Yes, yes, right THERE!” Dawn’s head was thrown back as Faith hit hr g-spot.

“Please, D, fuck me!” Faith whispered hoarsely.

As their now sweaty bodies kept moving in perfect synch, their breasts and nipples rubbing together, kissing…Dawn’s free hand grabbed a fistful of Faith’s hair and leaned in to whisper harshly in her girlfriend’s ear.

“I’m not…fucking you.” Faith groaned at her lover’s use of the word. “I’m, umm, right there…I’m making love to you,” Dawn whispered quickly between breaths.

“Yes! Yes, make love…I like that…idea…fuck, fuck, fuck!” Dawn had repeatedly hit her g-spot and the Slayer was ready to explode… For a second Faith thought nothing could ever be more erotic than hearing Dawn’s heavy breathing in her ear…

Their bodies each together and their shared orgasm burnt every cell and made them go blind with pleasure. Their mouths opened in silent cries of a pleasure that was beyond anything they had ever felt before and the threatened to consume them both…the pleasure that comes with love…
Faith fell back onto the pillows, still breathing heavily, and Dawn laid on top of her, her breathing just as heavy and her head was resting on Faith’s chest.

“I’m not…too heavy, am I?” Dawn asked a few seconds later when she could speak again.

Faith closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“You’re perfect, D…” Faith found herself saying. 'And I love you' Faith’s eyes shot wide open at the thought…but said nothing. Somehow, the thought of actually being in love with her brunette girlfriend didn’t freak her out as much as it was expected, although it did sent her hear racing…

Dawn moved onto her stomach, laying half on the mattress and half on Faith’s body. The brunette propped herself on her elbow.

“Are you okay, Faithy? Your heart is beating really fast,” Dawn said while one of her fingers traced circles on Faith’s skin, right over her heart.

“I’m great, D. Kinda tired though. Wanna get some sleep?”

“I’d like that,” Dawn said. The brunette looked down for a second and then bit her lip. “Um, Faith?”

“Yes, babe?” Faith looked at her with her new eyes and smiled slightly. Dawn’s beautiful eyes were filled with concern. “What is it?”

“Um, was it…I mean, I know I never- But I just felt so…and I can’t help to think that maybe…was it…I good? I wasn’t too forceful, was I?

Faith watched how Dawn’s baby face blushed and grinned. The Slayer reached out and placed her palm against Dawn’s cheek.

“I have no idea what came over you, babe…but I sure as Hell loved it. You were great, D. Fuckin’ awesome,” Faith replied, still…amazed at what she was feeling. She felt like a little kid learning how a machine worked…she couldn’t understand what was exactly happening but she loved it.

“Really?” Dawn blushed a darker shade of red and Faith couldn’t help to think how cute it was.

“Yes. Now, how about we get some sleep? You really wore me out, babe.” Faith winked at her girlfriend and Dawn hid her face against the mattress. Faith laughed out loud as Dawn moved to grabbed the sheet and the duvet from the foot of the bed.

But Dawn could see the real tiredness in Faith’s eyes that had nothing to do with their…um, activities. The brunette curled up to Faith’s side, her head on the Slayer’s chest as usual, as Faith covered them both with the duvet. The Slayer wrapped her arms around Dawn’s body and smiled peacefully. The last time she remembered ever feeling this safe and cared for…was in her grandmother’s embrace…

“I…Goodnight, D.” 'I love you, D.' Faith placed a short kiss on Dawn’s hair.

“Goodnight, Faith,” Dawn whispered. 'I love you, Faith,' Dawn thought as she drifted off to sleep, safe and happy in her lover’s embrace. She had known for a little while that she had fallen hard for the dark-haired Slayer…She just was waiting to see if there was any chance for Faith to return the feelings…


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



“I’m going to miss you, baby,” Willow said.

“I know, me too.”

Willow and Tara were hugging, holding onto each other for dear life. One of Willow’s hands was caressing Tara’s belly. Neither of them wanted to let go of each other…

They had packed everything Tara and Dawn may need. Faith had given Dawn the keys of her car and they all were trying hard not to cry.

“I love you, Tara,” Willow whispered again.

“I love you too, Willow,” Tara whispered back.

They finally pulled apart. Tara went over to Faith and Dawn went to Willow. They all hugged again. Faith gladly returned the hug.

“Be careful, ‘kay, T? ‘Cause I sure as Hell wanna see those two little angels, ‘kay?” Faith said after they pulled apart. “And take care of my girl.”

“As long as you take care of mine, I will…sister…” Tara’s eyes looked right into Faith’s.

It had been a silent agreement, a silent bound between them and it had happened without them noticing. Somehow they had known it since Tara had shared her history…they were both survivors of the worst…they shared a bound that nobody else could understand…they were sisters that had raised from the ashes...

“I will…sister.” Faith nodded and they hugged again.

Willow had helped Tara to sit down in the passenger seat and knelt on the ground so she was in the same level as Tara’s belly. She pressed her cheek against the belly and smiled when she felt the soft kicks of her babies.

“Be nice to mom, okay, babies? Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay. I love you, guys, with all my heart,” Willow whispered against the belly between kisses. The redhead kissed Tara’s belly once more and stood up. Tara pulled her into another kiss.

A few feet away, Dawn was hugging Faith for dear life… Faith was trying really hard not to cry…

“Please, be careful, Faith…” Dawn whispered.

“I will, D. Don’t worry. I got reasons to live, remember?” For a moment Faith thought about Dawn, about her new sisterhood with Tara…about the two babies she secretly was dying to meet.

“I mean it, Faith. Or I’ll kick your ass,” Dawn warned her.

Faith chuckled and before they pulled apart, the girls shared a sweet kiss.

Xander’s car pulled over in front of the house and the carpenter got out, followed by Anya, who was holding a travel bag.

“There’s room for one more, guys? Anya’s going with you,” Xander said.

“Xander!” Anya whined. She didn’t want to go.

Xander looked at her.

“No. We’re not talking about this anymore. You’re leaving with them,” Xander said firmly. His friends stared at him, impressed. They had never seen him so…firm about something.

“Fine!” Anya finally gave in and sighed. The former demon left the bag on the grass and hugged her husband. “Be careful, okay? I love you.”

“I love you too, honey.”

Xander and Anya kissed slightly


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



After Tara, Dawn and Anya left in Faith’s car, Xander told them he was going to Giles’s house and left.

However, Willow and Faith stood there, staring at the empty street in silence.

“Are you scared, Red?” Finally Faith asked.

“Not at all, F.” It was supposed to be a joke but none of them laughed.

“Bullshit, Red,” was all Faith said.

“I’m scared shitless,” Willow admitted, still looking at the empty street. “You?”

“Don’t know what fear is, Red.”

“Bullshit,” Willow used Faith’s own words.

“Am scared shitless too,” Faith admitted.

And there was silence again…

“Nice love bite, by the way.” Again, it was supposed to be a joke…but none of them laughed.

“Things got a bit…possessive last night,” was all Faith said.

“Tell me about it…” Willow muttered to herself. The redhead looked at Faith. “Atleast you can’t see mine…”

“I keep tellin’ D not in the neck but...Since when she listens to me, ya know?” Faith said.

“Wanna have lunch?” Willow suddenly asked.

Faith seemed to think about it for a moment.

“Sure. Lunch sounds awesome.”

“Let’s go, then…”


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

Nice little chapter, but for me doesn't really take off till the morning after the night before. Then you really gfet the sense that something dangerous is coming and the tear filled goodbyes from everyone, Willow and Tara, Faith and Dawn and Xander and Anya is a possibility thtnot everyone will survive.

I loved the way that both Tara and Faith addressed each other as sister showing a deeper friendship there than we have seen previously but definitely a friendship.

Nice scene at the end with Willow and Fath after Tara, Dawn and Anya have gone off to LA. THey make som bad jokes as people do in that situation, but there was also a more positive atmospere between te witch and the slayer, perhaps because they are both fighting for the same thing. The safe return of loved ones, in this case Tara and Dawn. :wtkiss

HEY PEOPLE!!!!! IM BACK!!!!!! I hope you missed me...just a tiny bit?

Anyway...I hope the wait was worthy! Here is Chapter 38... By the way...I put a little scene for you, Sami. Maybe its not what you asked for, exactly...but its something.. lol



CHAPTER 38- Just…waiting…



“The pizzas are here.”

Xander went to answer the door, followed by Willow and Faith.

Angel, Gunn and Wesley had arrived as soon as the sun had set a couple of days before. At first, they had been surprised to see the 42 Guardians surrounding the Summers’s house. Angel had gone into battle-mode instantly but Willow and Faith had come out of the house and told them they were the Guardians.

Willow, Faith and their friends had entered the house after convincing the green-haired man and the Asian girl, who seemed to be the leaders, that it wasn’t a good idea if people saw them in the front yard. Now the Guardians were all in the backyard training. Apparently, they didn’t eat, they didn’t get thirsty…they were the perfect army.

Angel had told them how things were in LA. The Elder vampire explained how Cordelia had wanted to go with them to Sunnydale but they had convinced her to stay with Fred, Dawn and Tara. Willow practically yelled, demanding to know why they had left them alone and Angel had hurried to explain that Gunn’s old gang had agreed to take care of LA while they were gone and that they were posted near the hotel to protect the girls along with Lorne. Nobody could believe that old-geeky Willow had put that look of utter shock and fear in Angel’s eyes…

Willow and Xander came back carrying three boxes of pizzas each. They put it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch, Giles was in the armchair next to the couch. Faith came back holding a twelve-pack of beer and a big steamy travel mug. The Slayer handed Angel the mug.

“Here ya go, Fang-Boy. The best from Willy,” Faith said.

“Thank you, Faith,” the vampire quickly replied and went to the dining room. He knew some people got uncomfortable sometimes when he drank blood in front of them.


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




In the backyard, 40 of the warriors were all sitting on the grass Indian style, their eyes were closed and seemed deeply concentrated on their meditation. Only the two leaders weren’t meditating, they were just sitting on the bench in silence. Both Guardians looked up to the sky when they heard the calling.

“Our Elder is calling me,” the Asian girl, Satsu, said.

“Go,” was all her fellow Guardian said before the girl banished in the air.



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



Satsu materialized again. She was inside an office: the walls were all white, just like the floor and the ceiling; there was a glass desk with a tall comfy white leather chair; a white leather against one of the walls and a couple of wooden chairs. Buffy as standing in front of the glass desk, her back turned to Satsu.

“Did you call me, ma’am?” Satsu asked and made a small vow with her head.

“We’re alone, Satsu,” was all Buffy said and the younger girl clearly relaxed.

“You called me, Buffy?”

Buffy turned around. She had her arms crossed and was frowning slightly.

“Did you send a Guardian to La?” The Elder asked.

“Yes, Buffy. I knew you’d be worried about your friends there. So I took the liberty to send one Guardian, just in case something happened and extra help was needed. Are you mad, Buffy? I know it was out of line but I-”

“Thank you,” Buffy cut her off.

“What?”

“Thank you. Yes, what you did was out of line, you’re a squad leader after all. But what you did…shows initiative. And I like that,” Buffy said.

Satsu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

“Is that all you like about me?”

“Satsu, please, not now,” Buffy said and Satsu’s smile banished.

“Sorry, ma’am. Is there anything else?” Satsu asked, her business tone back on.

“You have to talk to Willow, tell her to focus. She’s way too nervous, which is understandable, but she needs to focus. Tell her to remember Glory, Satsu,” Buffy said.

Satsu nodded.

“If I’m allowed to say, ma’am, I can see why you…value and think so highly of your human friends. Specially the Red Witch,” Satsu commented.

“Willow’s the best,” was all Buffy said.

“Your other friend, the Slayer…It’s obvious why,” Satsu commented and Buffy raised an eyebrow at her. “I’m just saying that it’s obvious. Now if you don’t need me anymore, ma’am…”

Buffy finally let out a small chuckle and extended one of her hands.

“Come here…”

Satsu walked closer and looked down at Buffy’s hand, raising a questioning eyebrow. Buffy grabbed Satsu’s hand and pulled her closer.

The petite blonde’s hands caressed the long silky black hair and pulled her so their lips could meet. Satsu wrapped her arms around Buffy’s waist and pulled their bodies together.

“I have to go now,” Satsu whispered after pulling away, although she didn’t want to.

Satsu kissed Buffy’s lips one more time and banished. Buffy sighed: she truly needed that. She needed to feel what Satsu only made her feel…



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



“Tare, you need to eat!”

Cordelia, Fred, Dawn, Tara and Anya were in the Hyperion, in Tara and Dawn’s room (the two friends had decided to share a room after Anya had declared she wanted her own room so she could have phone sex with Xander). They had decided to eat in the bedroom while watching a movie. Tara was sitting in the big, comfy loveseat; Dawn and Fred were on the small couch, already wearing their pyjamas. Anya and Cordelia were each on a chair.

“I’m not hungry, sweetie,” Tara said and left the take-out box on the coffee table. Dawn sighed, they went through this every day…

“Tara, you need to eat. I don’t care if you’re not hungry, you’re eating anyway,” Dawn said.

“Dawnie-”

“Tara, eat or I’ll force you. Those babies need food, so you’re going to eat whether you like it or not,” Cordelia said, giving her best Queen C look and pointed the take-out box with her fork. “Eat. Now.”

Tara sighed and grabbed the food again. She started eating slowly, fighting back the urge to throw up. And to think she had once said that she was so happy to be pregnant that she even liked the morning sickness.

“You’re feeling alright, Tare?” Dawn asked, watching her worried.

“I’m fine, Dawnie,” Tara said.

“Are you sure, Tara?” Cordelia asked, also looking at her, concern written all over her face.

“I’m fine,” Tara repeated and nodded. The blonde went back to eat in silence.

Cordelia sighed and kept eating. Since arriving to the hotel, Tara had barely spoke and if she did, she only spoke to Dawn. The younger girl was just as worried as her surrogate sister, after all her friends and girlfriend were going to fight, but as Dawn herself had said after one of Anya’s blunt comments: ‘They’re the Scoobies! You’re crazy if you think they’re going to lose!’ Truth be told, nobody had more faith in the Slayer than Dawn, although it was logical, since it was her girlfriend. Cordelia frowned slightly, even Anya was quieter than usual and spent almost all the time in her room.

Tara’s cell phone ran and the blonde hurried to pull it out of her jacket pocket as she left the take-out box on the coffee table.

“Willow!”

“Hey baby. How are you tonight? I missed you.” Willow’s sweet voice said on the other end.

“Just a sec, Will.”

Tara used Dawn’s help to get up and went to the bathroom. The blonde quickly closed the door behind herself and sat on the edge of the bathtub.

“I missed you too, honey. Goddess, you have no idea how much. I can’t stand this…”

“I know, baby, I know because I feel the same way. Goddess, Tare…I wish you were here, I…damn…”

“I know, honey, I know. I wish the same…we wish the same…” Tara unconsciously placed her hand on her belly.

“How are our little angles tonight?” Willow asked.

“They miss their mommy. I know it from their kicks, they miss you. And your stories. How are things over there?”

“Things are…tense, to say the least. Angel went to do a little patrol with Gunn while Wesley retired to the room I set up for them. Xander is watching TV, well…he’s not really. Giles is still reading in the living room, I think. It’s…I don’t know…you know that things get crazy, we’ve been there before but now…”

“There’s more to lose,” Tara finished the sentence for her lover.

“Yes, love. So…have you been taking good care? Eating well? Getting rest?”

“Yes, honey. I’m taking care. Besides, I have Dawnie and Cordy looking out for me, remember?” Tara said and smiled slightly.

“I’m glad.”

They both felt silent, not sure of what to say. They could hear the other’s breathing on the other end of the line but what else could they say? What word would assure them that everything was going to be okay? What could they say that they hadn’t said already? There was no word, there was nothing that could calm their restless minds…

“I can’t sleep anymore without you, baby…”

“I know, I’ve been barely sleeping too,” Tara admitted. There was another silence. Tara sighed and asked: “So tell me, have the Guardians show up, yet?”

“They’re all in the backyard, meditating.”

There was another tense silence until Tara heard a sob.

“Willow?”

“Goddess, baby, I love you so much. ” Willow’s voice cracked but the redhead forced herself to be strong.

“I love you too, Will. I…I need you so much.” Tara felt her eyes watering but she took a deep breath.

“I need you too, so much. So much, baby.”

“Are we going to be okay, Willow? Because if you tell me we’re going to be okay, then I’ll believe you. I’ll believe it,” Tara said and Willow’s heart broke at hearing the subtle desperate tone in her lover’s voice.

“We’re going to be okay, baby, we’re going to beat this and then we’re going to get ready to meet our babies. We are going to be okay, baby...”

Tara came back to the bedroom after composing herself and sat down on the love seat. The blonde closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Are you okay, Tara?” Cordelia asked.

“I’m fine,” Tara said and opened her eyes.

The blonde looked around and noticed that Dawn, Anya and Fred weren’t there anymore.

“Fred went to sleep. Dawn went downstairs to wait for Faith’s call and Anya went to her room to talk to Xander,” Cordelia said when she noticed that Tara was wondering where they friends had gone.



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



Willow entered the bedroom she was now sharing with Faith. The Slayer was sitting on a chair by the window with a blanket wrapped around her. She was holding her cell phone and looking at it as if her life depended on it.

“Oh, you’re busy. I’ll leave you alone, then,” Willow said and pointed behind her to indicate she was going to leave.

“Don’t leave. I’m not doin’ anythin’. Ya called T yet?”

“I just talked to her. You’re going to call Dawn?” Willow nodded.

“Yeah but…” Faith shook her head.

“I get it. I’ll go downstairs to see if the Guardians need anything,” Willow said, although she just was going to leave her alone.

“They’re still meditatin’.” Faith pointed to the window. She had a great view of the backyard and she could see the strange hybrids still meditating. They hadn’t moved in hours…

“I’ll just leave you alone, then,” Willow said and chuckled as she left.

Faith sighed and dialed Dawn’s number.

“Hey, babe.”

“Faith, I was starting to think you wouldn’t call. And that would have been okay, you don’t have to call every night, maybe you were busy or tired or something-”

“Shut up, D,” Faith cut her off gently. “No, I wasn’t busy. And I’m sorry you thought that, it’s just…” Faith sighed again. “I don’t really know what to say anymore.”

“I know, it’s okay.”

“I miss you!” Faith blurted out before she could stop herself. The Slayer kicked herself mentally for admitting that.

“Really? I miss you too, Faith,” Dawn’s sweet voice admitted on the other end. “It’s the first time you said it,” the brunette added after a pause.

“I’m sorry, babe. I just…there’s so much inside my head right now I feel like it’s gonna fuckin’ explode,” Faith said.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“I…I think that…”

“Stop, it’s okay. We’re not talking about this right now. Don’t worry, honey,” Dawn said on the other end.

“I’m sorry, babe.” Faith wasn’t exactly sure what she was apologizing for…maybe for not being able to talk more freely about her feelings…maybe for being so damn confused…

“No, it’s okay. Although, could I make a suggestion? If what’s bothering you has to do with Slayer’s business…I’ll talk to Willow about it.”

“What? No, what? I can’t talk to Red.”

“Why not? Trust me, nobody, not even Giles, knows, understands how Willow does. She was practically the Slayer for more than three years, Faith. She understands even better than Tara does. You don’t have to, it’s just a suggestion.”

“When did ya grow up so much, kid?” Faith joked and chuckled.

“Probably, like Tara said, when nobody was watching me,” Dawn said and laughed along.

“To be honest, I wish you were here. I wanna kiss ya and touch ya… Fuck, I want you here, D,” Faith admitted.

“I want the same thing, Faith. God, you have no idea…”

“What are you wearing?” Faith joked with a clear lusty tone. It made her feel better to joke around with her girlfriend. She was just joking, she was in no shape to do anything over the phone, no matter how fun it could be…

“Faith!”

Faith laughed like she could only laugh with Dawn.

“Just kiddin’, babe. If ya wanna have fun though…”

Faith could see her girlfriend rolling her eyes but still smiling.

“Faith, c’mon.”

“You’re so not fun, babe,” Faith kept joking.

“Do you wanna know what I want to do right? Well, it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while,” Dawn said.

“Throw me onto the bed and fuck my brains out with the strap-on? ‘Cause that would be hot!” Faith was only half-joking this time.

“You’re such a gutter brain! I swear you’re worse than a guy sometimes, Faith.” Dawn was laughing and that laughter for Faith was Heaven. “And although that sounds…like something we could try…sometime, what I want to do is nothing sexual.”

“We could so totally try it, babe…And what is that you wanna do?” Faith asked.

“Honestly, touch your scar. The one on your lip.”

“Why’d you wanna do that?” Unconsciously, Faith brought up her hand and let her fingertips touch the thin scar.

“Because I want to. I don’t know…I always wanted to but I thought it would make you uncomfortable. It’s kinda sexy.”

“Ya think so?” Faith asked and knew Dawn was blushing on the other end.

“I do. I always wanted to touch it.”

“Well, you can touch it, I guess,” Faith said.

They fell silent for a few seconds, none of them really knowing what else to say. Faith heard Dawn yawning.

“Maybe you should go to bed, babe,” Faith said although she didn’t want her girlfriend to leave yet.

“I don’t want to. I can’t sleep,” Dawn said.

“Babe, I know you’re worried, it’s okay. But you need to relax. You need to sleep,” Faith said, worried.

“That’s not why I can’t sleep, Faith. I…I can’t sleep without you,” Dawn admitted.

Faith knew Dawn was blushing again, she could hear it in her voice…A small smile lighted Faith’s face.

“I…I can’t…sleep without you either, babe.” Faith tried hard to ignore the light blush that was spreading over her cheeks. She didn’t blush, damn it!

“Really? Guess I got so used to having you with me that I…don’t know…”

“It’s cool, babe, I get it. I got used to have you with me too,” Faith said and she still could feel the fire in her face.

“Maybe I should go to bed. I’m falling sleep here.”

“That’s a cool idea, D. Get some rest and we’ll talk tomorrow. ‘Kay?”

“Yes, we’ll talk tomorrow, Faithy.”

There was another silence…

“I…”

“I...”

They both spoke at the same time and Dawn giggled a little bit.

“Have a good night, babe. I…I’m gonna miss ya,” Faith said the next best thing.

“I’m going to miss you too, Faith. I…good night.”

“Night.”

Faith finally closed her phone and looked at it.

“I…I love you, Dawn.” Faith sighed and groaned. “Fuck, fuck, fuck! You fuckin’ coward!”

Willow walked downstairs and went to the kitchen to make herself some tea. The redhead made the tea and heard a soft knocking on the back door. Willow saw the Asian girl knocking so she opened the door for her.

“I’m sorry to bother you but I have a message for you, ma’am,” Satsu
said.

“Oh, okay. Come in. Um, do you want some tea? Coffee?” Willow asked, thinking that she should be polite atleast.

“No, ma’am. Thank you, anyway,” Satsu refused politely.

“So you have a message for me?” Willow sat on one of the stools around the kitchen island and took a sip of her tea.

“Yes, from Buffy.”

“Buffy sent me a message?” Willow asked, shocked.

“Yes, ma’am. Buffy told me to tell you that you need to focus more. She said remember Glory.”

“Glory? What the hell…I don’t understand…”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, that’s all she said.

Willow sighed.

“Could I say something, ma’am?”

“Yes, of course.”

“We are here to make sure you and your friends win this battle. So you don’t have to worry. No army of demons can defeat us, you have the best of the best here. I think she wanted you to focus on your priority number one right now, in the reason why you’re doing this.”

Willow nodded, strangely feeling better.

“Thank you.” Willow hesitated before speaking again, but she needed to know. “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course, ma’am.”

“I know that probably you don’t know, after all some things never change but…you’re the only one I’ve ever heard saying her name…Are you her friend?”

“Not exactly, but we do…talk, sometimes, ma’am,” the Guardian replied.

“How is she? I just want to know if she’s happy now…maybe if she met somebody…” Willow frowned. “Wait, can you meet somebody in Heaven?”

“Well, ma’am, I’m not sure I’m the one to answer those questions,” the Guardian said.

“I just want to know if she’s happy finally. Please,” Willow begged.

“I think so, yes, ma’am.” Seeing that the Red Witch needed more than that, she decided to give her something more. “She is sort of…seeing somebody at the moment.”

“Thank you…Sorry, I don’t know your name, yet,” Willow said.

“Satsu, my name is Satsu,” the Guardian replied and gave her a gentle nod.

“Thank you, Satsu. I really thank you.”

“Not a problem, ma’am. Now, if you excuse, I’ll go back with the other Guardians,” Satsu said. She wanted to leave before she said anything else.

“Of course, yes.”

By the time Willow went back to the bedroom she shared with Faith, the Slayer was already sleeping in one of the camping cots they had set up in the room. Trying to be quiet, willow changed clothes and went to the other side of the room, where her cot was and laid down for a night of restless sleep…



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



The next day…


“Hey, could we…talk?”

Willow looked up from the ancient book she was reading and saw Faith looking at her nervously.

“Sure,” Willow said.

Willow left the book on the coffee table and followed her upstairs. The redhead sat down on her bed and watched Faith start to pace around the room.

“What’s wrong, Faith?”

“D said that I could talk to you. That you’d get it,” Faith said. Willow realized that running her hand through her hair was a nervous habit of Faith. And in that moment, the Slayer seemed to be extremely nervous.

“What am I supposed to get?”

“I admit it, I’m fuckin’ nervous ‘bout this whole shit,” Faith admitted.

“It’s your first big battle. It’s easy to understand, Faith. I would like to say it gets better…but it doesn’t.”

“I just…I’m fuckin’ loosin’ my mind and I keep wonderin’ how the fuck did B do to put up with this? How could she do it over and over again? And I’m goin’ crazy ‘cause I know I’m not B, I’ll never be Buffy. I’ll never be half as good as she was! How the fuck am I supposed to do this? How did she do to just sit and wait? This is fuckin’ insane!” Faith finally exploded.

“Okay, Faith, try to calm down,” Willow said and waited until Faith stopped pacing around. “Look, I’ve seen this before, trust me, Buffy wasn’t the kind of person who could just sit around and wait either. I don’t really know what to say to make you feel better but…”

“But what?”

“You’re right, you’re not Buffy. That doesn’t make you better or worse. It makes you a different person. You are you, Faith. And if I have to be honest…you have a fire inside that Buffy never had. Maybe is because of the fact that you don’t see your gift like a curse. I don’t know. But it’s true. How did Buffy do to do this so many times? Well, I would like to believe that we had something to do with that,” Willow said.

“She wouldn’t have done it without you, guys, I know that,” Faith said.

“I would really like to believe so. Now, how are you supposed to do this? I don’t honestly know. Every person has different skills. But Faith…nobody expects you to be Buffy. You’re not her and like I said, it doesn’t make you better or worse, it just makes you a different person. Because you’re a different person! You know, sometimes I wonder how we can keep doing this too. And then I remember…”

“Remember what?”

“The reasons why we do this. We don’t do this just because of the greater good, not just because it’s right. We do this because we want to live.” Willow saw that the message wasn’t exactly getting through to Faith. “I do this because I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman I love, I do this because I want to grow old and watch my children grow up and have children on their own.” Willow chuckled. “I want to see Tara be that awesome grandma who bakes cookies and knits sweaters for our grandkids,” Willow explained. “What are your reasons, Faith?”

“I…I…I’m the Slayer. I was Chosen to do this,” Faith offered lamely.

“And that’s where you are similar to Buffy. Faith, I’m no expert but it’s basic psychology…I didn’t understand why Buffy had jumped from that tower at first but after a while I realized she did it for all of us. She fought because she wanted us to live, to have a life. You need to learn from that. What I mean is…you need to think about your life, about you…no matter how small, only one reason to live for can make a HUGE difference. Do you get what I mean at all?”

Faith seemed lost in thoughts for a moment but then she nodded.

“I do. Thank you, Willow. Really,” Faith said.

Willow smiled at being called by her name and nodded.

“No problem, Faith. I’ll be downstairs if you want to talk some more,” Willow said.

Willow left the room and Faith laid down on her cot. She started thinking…

She was an idiot. She had reasons to live for: Dawn, her new status as Tara’s sister, she was a better person now…Faith was secretly dying to see Willow and Tara’s children, she liked kids and she was good with them…And Tara had made sure she knew that she’d be a big part of the babies lives.

Faith pulled out her cell phone and went to see the pictures. Instantly she saw one of her and Dawn: they were just laying on the couch; Dawn’s head was on Faith’s chest. Both of them were smiling. The next picture showed Dawn, blushing like crazy, and Faith remembered she had taken it right after making a really naughty comment. The next one showed Dawn sitting between Faith’s legs: the Slayer had extended her hand, doing the classic Ronnie James Dio’s horns sign with her fingers. Her other arm was around Dawn’s waist and the brunette was resting against her, smiling sleepily. Tara had taken that picture one afternoon when they were just chilling out in the backyard.

Faith found a few pictures of Tara and Willow. In the first one Willow and Tara were on the couch, completely lost in each other’s eyes. It was taken the night they had announced that Tara was pregnant. Another one was of Willow and Tara cooking. They were working side by side in perfect synchronicity, they didn’t need to say anything, they just knew what to do. There was another one of Tara sleeping on the couch, Willow was sleeping by her side, the redhead’s head was resting right above Tara’s four months pregnant belly. Dawn had taken that picture and then had ran away, giggling like a school girl, to show it to Faith.

The Slayer smiled as the next picture rolled on screen: it was a picture of the twins sonogram. It was made her heart swell to know that she’d be a part of those little angel’s lives. The next picture was one of Tara when she was seven months pregnant: Dawn had an arm around Tara’s back and her free hand was on Tara’s belly; Tara was smiling, obviously happy. Faith laughed loudly when she saw the next picture: Tara was wearing a red t-shirt that said ‘The twins live here’ that Willow and Dawn had gotten her. The blonde was blushing but smiling, one of her hands was resting on her almost 8 month’s pregnant belly.

Faith laughed again at what she saw next. Tara and Dawn had insisted in taking one picture of Willow and Faith together. They both had refused, using as excuse that they were busy, but it was useless. At first they had only stood next to each other and had smiled, but their girlfriends had wanted a really nice picture so they had wrapped one arm around each other, relaxing after a few seconds, and Tara had take the picture.

The last one was one of Tara and Dawn, both were sitting between the giant stuffed panda bear’s legs in the nursery. Both girls had been finish up the room when Tara had sat on a cushion against the bear. Dawn had sat next to her and Faith had taken the picture. Willow had pouted when she saw the picture and that she hadn’t been there.

Yes, that was it. That was why Faith was fighting for…



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



Right next door, Willow was sitting on the couch inside the nursery. After her little chat with Faith, the redhead couldn’t help to need to go and see it. Willow smiled at the light colors on the walls, she had caressed the clothes she and Tara had bought for their twins. The redhead had smiled as she touched the giant panda bear.

Willow nodded… This was why she was fighting for…


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