FIC: Learning to live pt 17

Here is this part. Not much going on in this one. It is really just a 
lead in. I have the next part almost done. It has gotten so long 
though that I will have to divide it up into four smaller sections. 
So 
if you hang for a while the next parts a doozy.

"Good morning, I just wanted to tell you that I AMGETTING
MARRIED 
TO DAY, EVERYONE UP AND AT EM", Xander yelled into the intercom
and 
then turned on the radio full blast. `That ought to get them up
in a 
hurry', Xander thought about the first morning Sara had awaken
them 
this way.

Willow rolled over and looked at the clock beside her bed, 7:00.
`God 
it is Saturday I should be sleeping in, I am so going to kill
him', 
she thought, `Well if he wasn't so cute that is'. She got
out of bed 
and stretched, it was going to be a busy day today. `Well it
looks 
like he was going to go through with it this time', Willow
thought 
about how busy things had been since their trip to the beach. Dawn 
and Jen had started high school and were both happy that they had 
managed to have 4 classes together. Buffy had started her classes and 
was very excited about them. She was taking a psyche class that she 
was finding very enjoyable which made Sara happy. Willow thought that 
Sara was hoping that maybe Buffy would follow in her footsteps. 
Willow was thinking that Buffy might be leaning more toward 
education, even though Willow had a hard time seeing the slayer 
teaching math to a bunch of high school kids. Willow laughed and 
shook the image away. Since Willow wasn't in school she took
over a 
lot of the work around the house. Sara had talked about getting a 
housekeeper but Willow had shot down that idea. `I'm not
doing 
anything let me at least do this', She had argued with Sara. Sara
had 
finally relented when she got one look at Willow `resolve
face', but 
had Willow agree that if she wanted to go back to school that they 
would get one. So Willow got up everyday at 6 and started breakfast, 
which with 9 people in the house took a lot of food, especially with 
Xander and two teenagers. She started with the girls first and then 
moved to Buffy. She was the hardest one to get up, one time Willow 
had to get a glass of water and dump it on her, then ran. Buffy had 
chased her through the house and managed to get everyone up in the 
process. Next she got the rest of them up and the group had 
breakfast together. As soon as they had got back from the beach Sara 
had called a friend of hers and he had agreed to take Willows case. 
Sara had told Willow that even though she wasn't really her
doctor 
that she didn't want there to be any confusion. So now Willow
saw 
him once a week. She liked him and found him to be very helpful. He 
knew all about the things that went on in town. He had confirmed Sara 
diagnoses and had started Willow on meds. She was feeling better then 
she had in a long time. She still had a long way to go but was making 
progress. She missed Tara a lot and always would but she also knew 
that if she had been the one to die she would've wanted Tara to
move 
on. She knew that everything was sudden but it felt right. If there 
was anything she had learned living on the hellmouth was that 
sometimes you had to take things as they were. They had not made love 
again since the night at the beach house, there just hadn't been 
enough time and neither of them want to move any faster then they 
already had. 

Willow walked into the kitchen and attacked by Xander. He gave her a 
big bear hug. "Willow I am getting married today", he said
lifting 
her off her feet.
"Xander, put me down, I am well aware of that", Willow
laughed and 
poured a cup of coffee. Dawn and Jen were eating cereal and toast, 
which they usually did on weekends now to give Willow a day off from 
cooking. Actually Sara had insisted that they do it and who wanted to 
argue with someone with super strength. 
"Where's Sara", Willow asked about her missing
girlfriend. 
"Mom is out back with the florist showing them were the flowers
go", 
Jen told her.
Willow grabbed her coffee and headed out the backdoor. Sara was out 
at the gazebo talking to a young woman. The gazebo was decorated and 
the flowers were in place and Willow had to admire how beautiful it 
looked. Willow watched for a minute and then cleared her 
throat, "Good morning".
"Hey hon., sleep well", Sara asked placing a light kiss on
Willow 
lips and then turned to the florist, "Is there anything
else". Willow 
waited until Sara was done and the florist had headed for the 
gate, "Doc, it looks lovely."
"I'm glad you like it. I haven't let Anya or Xander see
it yet. I 
wanted it to be a surprise. Do you think they will", Sara asked
with 
a hint of worry in her voice.
"I think they will love it", Willow answered and gave Sara a
kiss 
filled with passion.
"Wow not that I am complaining or anything but what was for".
"A more appropriate good morning", Willow told her.
"Well everything is in place here. All I have to do is head over
to 
the club and make sure the caterers have thing under control there. 
The band will be there to set up about 1."
"The band"?
"Yeah, all weddings have to have a band".
"Simple went out the window didn't it", Willow asked her
girlfriend.
"Yup", Sara said blushing, "I just started and one thing
led to 
another and bam here we are. I had so much fun though. I have never 
got to plan a wedding before".
"So can do I get to know what you got them for a gift. Cause you
have 
been awfully secretive about it".
"Ok but promise to keep it to yourself", Sara said and pulled
a 
envelope out of her back pocket, "I know they were just going to
hang 
out at there apartment for their honeymoon so I got them this". 
Willow looked in the envelope and then squeaked, "You're
giving them 
a trip to Hawaii. They are so going love it and then kill you. After 
everything you have done you go and do this too."
"Well yeah, I told you that I kind of got carried away".
" Sara this plane leaves at 8:00pm tonight. How are they going to
get 
packed and there by then", Willow asked confused.
"It is all taken care of. We snuck in one day and got their sizes
and 
a quick trip to the mall and wa la two packed suitcases in the limo 
that will pick them up tonight after the reception."
"You are incredible", Willow said.
"Yeah well what's the point of having all this money if I
can't use 
when I want too".
"I love you."
"I love you too, now I have to get to the club", Sara said.


Buffy and Anya had spent the night at Buffy's house and were
going to 
be back at noon and to ready. Willow and Jen were helping Xander in 
his room. Buffy and Dawn were helping Anya in Buffy's room. At 2
Sara 
went first to check on Anya to make sure she was ready. She stopped 
next at Xanders room. Sara felt her heart stop at the sight of Willow 
standing there in her tux trying to tie Xander tie. She wasn't
doing 
very well because he kept moving and trying to pace the floor.
"Xander, if you don't stand still I am going to get Buffy and
tie you 
down", Willow sighed as he started to pace again.
"Hey, would an ex-slayer work. I think I could take him",
Sara 
laughed from the doorway.
"Ok, ok I will stand still. And yes after seeing you kick Buffys
ass 
I am pretty sure you would pulverize me", Xander said finally
holding 
still long enough for Willow to take care of his tie. 
"Hey Sara, don't go anywhere I have to get the cumber bun on
still", 
Willow said.
"I'm not going anywhere but we might want to hurry up. Anya
ready and 
we wouldn't want to keep her waiting", Sara told them hoping
that the 
thought of Anya waiting would convince Xander to hold still. Ten 
minutes later they were ready. Willow and Xander headed outside and 
Sara went to get Anya and Giles. Sara went to the piano that she had 
brought in and began to play. Buffy appeared from the back door 
followed by Anya. Buffy was wearing a royal blue dress, that matched 
the ties and cumber buns on the tux's. Anya had opted to wear a 
simple white dress. Willow couldn't help but smile at Xander. He
was 
having a hard time keeping his mouth closed. She could see why, Anya 
looked lovely. She elbowed him and he turned to look at her,
"Xan-man 
you are a very lucky man". He smiled and turned his attention to
his 
future wife. Buffy started to walk down the isle and Willow
couldn't 
help but stare. `That color looked good on her', Willow
thought, ` 
and I can't believe Sara can play the piano'. Giles took Anya
arm and 
lead her down the isle. They stopped at the front and Giles gave her 
arm to Xander. Sara got up and joined the group standing around the 
young couple. "Dearly beloved?
