"So do you think we should have left them alone in there",
Tara 
asked me. I thought about things for a minute and shrugged, "Well
it 
seems pretty quiet in there. I think it will be ok. So what do you 
think about all this." I saw her get a far away look and I
wondered 
what she was thinking.
"I don't know really. The last few days with Buffy have been 
incredible. We have been taking things slow but somehow it feels like 
I found my home. Last night after we left we went home and just 
cuddled in bed for a long time. I have only felt that complete once 
and that was back in college when you used to stay. Will, what did 
you mean you would be the third party to this?"
"I can't be in a relationship with two women, not right now.
I have 
the kids to think about and they have to come first. As much as I 
love you both I can't bring you both into my bed everyday. Angie 
would probably understand but the others are just too young. They 
have had so much to deal with already; I don't want to add any
more 
confusion to their lives. It doesn't mean that it can't
happen just 
not the way that I want it to. So you see for now, when we are ready, 
it will always be me coming to you guys. That's why I want you
to 
find the love between you too", I said and tried to read her
face. I 
saw emotions that I couldn't recognize go across her face.
"You're a good mother and when you feel that we are ready I
would 
like it very much to have you around."
"Good because I want to be there", I said and felt tears
trying to 
escape. It seemed like I had been holding my breath waiting for her 
answer. I felt strong arms wrap around me and pull me close and a 
whisper tickled my ear, "You ok", Faith asked me. I turned in
her 
arms so that my face was inches from hers, "Yeah I think I am. I
take 
it there was no bloodshed in my living room." I watched as Buffy 
snuck up behind Tara and snatched a piece of tomato from the salad. 
Tara swatted at her and laughed.
"There cute together", Faith whispered to me.
"Yeah they are", I said and kissed her on the tip of her
nose, "You're
pretty cute yourself."
"Flattery will get you everywhere, Red." I used to hate it
when she 
called me that but now it seemed right, it was meant as an endearment 
now and not an insult.
"Really I asked, will it get me?", the rest I whispered into
her ear 
not wanting the other couple to overhear. Faith let what I'd said 
sink in and turned as red as my hair, "Red", she choked. I
had to 
giggle and Buffy and Tara looked at us.
"Faith are you ok", Tara asked her, seeing the blush she just
smirked.
"I-I um oh?", Faith stumbled. 
"Will, I think you hurt her."
"Not yet", I smirked and I thought all of their eyes where
going to 
bug out.
"Well", I said, "I think dinner is almost ready. Faith
can you grab 
some drinks while I set the table. Buffy can you grab that bowl. Tara 
can you bring the salad." I laughed at the way they all jumped
and 
began to run around the kitchen, running into each other. This could 
be way too much fun I 
thought.



"Red", I cried. I can't believe she said that to me and then
just 
giggled. I thought I was going to lose it right there in her kitchen 
in front of everyone. No I was right when I told her she had changed, 
she was defiantly not the same shy geek she was in high school. Nope, 
no way. I wanted to just skip dinner and our night out and just carry 
her upstairs right now. Damn, Tara said something, don't know 
what, "I-I um oh". Oh great one, now their just looking at me
with 
smirks on their faces, come on Faith, get it together. "Will, I think 
you hurt her", Buffy said. 
"Not yet." Huh 
what. Hurt huh. She talking again, hell what did she say, get drinks, 
gotta move she giving me that mom look. Drinks, getting drinks. Now 
she is laughing what is she laughing at. I look at her and she has 
this `cat that ate the canary look', I wonder what she is
thinking. I 
can't believe she said that to me and then giggled. She is so in 
trouble when we get
back 
here tonight.

  

In my most stealthy slayer move I crept up behind my girlfriend, ooh 
I like the sound of that. The way it rolls off my toung, my 
girlfriend, Tara is my girlfriend. I'm really not sure when I
have 
been this happy. I have Tara, Willow is back, I glance around and see 
Faith holding Willow, whispering in her ear. I see Will smile,
I'm 
not so sure if I like the thought of her and Faith but she does look 
happy. Plus she gave me hope for some kind of future with her and 
that's all I can ask for right now. A threesome, oh how the mind
can 
wander. Tomato, I see it, can I get to it before she see me. Jackpot 
and I got away with just a swat and a smile. I love a Tara smile it 
lights up the whole room. I think I could lose myself in it. I open 
my mouth to tell her just that when I hear Faith yell. Tara and I 
both turn to see what had happened. Faith is standing their as red as 
Will's hair. 
"Faith are you ok", Tara asked and I'm touched at her
sincerity, well 
that is until she sees the blushing and then she just smirks. I
don't 
think I have ever seen Faith so lost, "I-I um oh", was all
she could 
say. Oh how the mighty slayer had fallen.
"Will, I think you hurt her", I said. 
"Not yet", she said and I really had to concentrate to keep
from 
having to pick my jaw up off the floor. I looked at Tara and saw what 
I know had to mirrored on my own face. Disbelieve, shock, and I might 
add just a touch of lust. "Well", she said, "I think
dinner is almost 
ready. Faith can you grab some drinks while I set the table. Buffy 
can you grab that bowl. Tara can you bring the salad." Grab the
bowl 
was all my brain was able to digest as I run into Faith getting 
drinks. She's laughing at us, I try to read her face but all I
see is 
a look of pure mischief, oh boy we are in so much trouble.


   
 
I can feel her sneaking up behind me, she thinks that she is being 
sneaky but I know. After all of these years of being beside her 
through the good and bad, I always know where she is. This is the 
person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Well her and a 
certain red head. Will people understand? Oh hell like I care, after 
everything I have seen in the last six years. They love me, me, 
scared shy little ole me. Me who grew up thinking I would turn into a 
demon, the one thing that these wonderful people had pledged their 
lives to fight. Buffy saved me from my family and I'm sure if
Willow 
hadn't had to go fight her own insecurities she would have too.
They 
were my family now, all of them. She grabs a tomato out of the bowl 
and pops in her mouth. I swat at her arm. She gives me these sad 
puppy eyes and all I can do is laugh. She has me wrapped around her 
little slayer finger, she knows it, and I know it. She looks at me 
like she would like to lose herself in me. I have seen that look many 
times in the last few days and I will never get tired of seeing it. 
She opens her mouth to say something but is cut off by a cry from 
Faith. I turned concerned that she had hurt herself, "Faith are
you 
ok", I asked but when I saw the blush all I could do was smirk
and 
wonder what Will could have possibly said to make the slayer blush 
like a school girl.
"Will, I think you hurt her", Buffy said and I was going to
agree 
until Willow in a straight face said "Not yet". I thought my
eyes 
were going to roll across the kitchen floor. She started to issue 
orders, we all jumped almost running over each other to comply. She 
just stood there and laughed. I stopped, looked at her and for minute 
I couldn't help feeling like I was getting on a very long roller 
coaster and it was going to be one wild ride.
