Pairing: Willow/Buffy


"Will", Buffy said nervously looking around the kitchen. She wasn't 
sure if Willow had heard her outburst in the waiting room or not but 
she had a feeling that she was about to find out. Willow came to 
stand in front of Buffy.
"Did you mean it", Willow asked forcing Buffy to look into her eyes.
"Do I usually say things I don't mean", Buffy whispered.
"I need to hear it. I need to know what your feeling. I need it more 
then I have ever needed anything in my life."
"I love you, Willow. I think I fell for you the first time I saw you 
standing at that water fountain. I wanted to smack Cordelia in the 
face when I saw how much she hurt you. I wish that I could have been 
able to tell you sooner. I know that you must hate me. I know you 
could never feel the same way about me. Do you love him?"
"Jason, yeah I think I do. He's a great guy, I don't think I would be 
able to do this without him", Willow said.
"I'm really happy for you, Will. I hope you guys have a great life. 
He does seem like he is going to stick around. I'm sorry it couldn't 
work with us", Buffy said and turned to leave before Willow could see 
the tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes.
"Buffy", Willow said putting her hand on her shoulder stopping her 
from leaving, "I love you too. I was so afraid of my feelings for so 
long. Jason's a nice a guy and all but he's not who I'm in love with. 
I made a mistake by sleeping with him but I needed to escape all the 
things I was feeling for you. I want to be with you, if you still 
want me." 
"Why would I not want the most beautiful woman in the world"?
"Well the fact that me being pregnant comes to mind", Willow chuckled.
"I know that starting a relationship could be difficult but I think 
when it comes to you and I it would be worth it. I love you and I 
want to share this with you. I want to be there to watch this kid 
grow up and bring grandkids home. I want to be beside you all the 
way."
"I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. Buffy 
Summers will you be my girlfriend."
"I'd love too, now come on you've had a long day and the doctor said 
you needed to get plenty of rest. We wouldn't want a grumpy pregnant 
woman", Buffy said and patted Willow stomach.



"Guys we're going to head to bed now", Buffy said as they came 
back into the living room. Joyce saw the happiness in her daughters 
face and the way that Buffy was holding tightly to Willow 
hand, "Buffy, Willow please sit down for a minute. Buffy is there 
something you want to tell me."
"Willow and I have decided to be girlfriends", Buffy said and gave 
her mom a big smile.
"Willow, I know how Buffy feels about you but how to you feel about 
her", Joyce asked coming to sit in front of the two girls. Joyce took 
Willow hand into hers and gave it a light squeeze.
"I love her with all my heart. I would never in a million years ever 
hurt her. I promise that I will protect her with my life if it ever 
comes to it. I know that this couldn't be easy for you. I just want 
to make her happy."
"That's what I wanted to hear. Will you move in here with us? I would 
feel much better if you were here, so that we could keep an eye on 
you. I was thinking we could turn the guest bedroom into a nursery."
"That would be great but where would I sleep", Willow asked confused. 
There were only three bedrooms in the house and Buffy and her mom had 
two of them. Joyce looked from the red head to her daughter.
"Oh, OH", Willow said finally coming to the conclusion.
"I figured it would be easier then trying to keep you separated. You 
are legally an adult now and I can see in Buffy eyes how much love 
there is for you, I don't think I could keep you apart anyway."
"I don't know what to say, mom. Thank you for respecting me and 
treating me like an adult. I love you."
"Well I see how mature you have become and I know how fast you had to 
grow up. Besides you are going to be raising my grandchild", Joyce 
said and hugged her daughter.
"Will, what do you think. I mean this is your decision. I don't want 
you to feel like your being pressured into anything", Buffy said 
turning to her girlfriend.
"Mrs. Summers, my own parents didn't even try to understand, they 
just held the door open the day I left", Willow said as the pain of 
her parent's rejection finally hit her. Joyce pulled the girl into 
her arms and rocked her gently, "Willow they were fools. Their lose 
is my gain. I get to see the woman that you will become and see the 
wonderful life that your about to bring into this world, they don't. 
I will always be here for you. We all will", Joyce said pointing to 
the other adults sitting in the room.
"Hey I can be the cool eccentric aunt", Jenny chimed in.
"What about you, Giles", Buffy asked her watcher.
"The young hip grandpa, of course", Giles said after a minute of 
thought.
"I love you all", Willow smiled, "Thank you for being my family."
