Buffy was putting the last of the dishes into the dishwasher when 
her girlfriend came through the door.
"Hey honey how was your day", Buffy asked her grabbing a quick kiss 
before sitting down at the bar.
"Pretty good really. I still can't believe that I only have four more 
month until we graduate from college."
"I know it just seems like yesterday we blew up the high school."
"Yeah but think of all the things we have done since then. You gained 
a sister and closed the hellmouth all in one year."
"Well Glory closed it but the sister thing was pretty cool", Buffy 
said.
"Where is Dawn", Willow asked?
"She went over to a friends house after school. Mom has a dinner 
meeting so we have the whole house to ourselves all evening, what 
shall we do", Buffy said with a mischievous grin.
"I was thinking we could talk for a minute."
"Talk sounds good?huh, talk. I kind of thought we could do something 
a little more exciting, not that talking isn't exciting but oh hell, 
I just keep digging the hole deeper", Buffy said noticing the bemused 
look on Willow face.
"I know honey but I think we need to talk about the future", Willow 
said.
"What's there to talk about? You have that job working with Jason's 
dad's computer company and I'm going to take that job working as the 
gym teacher at the new middle school next year."
"I know, so you would say things are pretty set for us then."
"Um yeah, I would say the future looks pretty bright considering that 
seven years ago I didn't plan on living much longer. What's this all 
about, Will?"
"Well remember when we talked about having another baby someday and 
you said that you trusted me to know when the right time was. Do you 
still believe that", Willow asked hopeful.
"Yeah, do you want to have a baby, Will?"
"Well you said to just do it and surprise you. Surprise", Willow said.
"We're going to have a baby. When?"
"End of September, is this really ok", Willow asked afraid that Buffy 
had changed her mind.  
"Is it ok", Buffy said and jumped up lifting her off her feet and 
spinning her around.
"I take that as a yes", Willow.
"Oh yeah, defiantly a yes."
"Uh Buffy spinning a pregnant woman around for very long is not a 
good thing. You might get to see what I had for lunch up close and 
personal", Willow laughed.
"Oh sorry, kinda got carried away", Buffy said sheepishly, "Have you 
been to the doctor yet."
"Yup this afternoon and he said that things look good, that we 
shouldn't worry."
"Well I'm sure I will anyway. You know that if I could put you to bed 
and keep you there until September I would."
"I know but you can't so lets just enjoy this", Willow said and 
pulled her girlfriend into a hug.
"Can we tell everyone tonight? We could have a big Scooby meeting."
"I think that could be arranged, why don't you call them. I'm going 
to grab a bath, maybe when you get done you can come join me."
"How could I turn down an offer like that", Buffy said grabbing the 
phone, "see you in a minute hon."



Xander and Cordelia where the first to show up, followed shortly 
later by Jenny and Giles with there twin boys. Jason and his 
boyfriend came right behind them. Joyce brought snacks and drinks in. 
Dawn sat on the couch between Jenny and Willow talking about a 
computer project she was working on for school, while Buffy stood in 
the corner watching her odd family.
"Ok Buffy you have all of us here now so spill. What is it and how do 
we kill it", Xander said then grinned, "I just wanted to say that 
again, we haven't had to kill anything in a long time."
"Well there are two things really. I have something to ask then Will 
has something she wants to say. Me first though", Buffy said and then 
moved to sit on the floor in front of Willow, "Willow we've been 
together for a long time now and for the life of me I don't know what 
I was so afraid of. I know we had a rough time there for a little bit 
but since then I can't imagine wanting to spend my life anywhere 
else. I had this big long speech prepared, I even wrote it down but I 
reread it and decided that there are no words to describe the love 
that I have for you. Will, can we make it official, I mean I know 
that legally we can't make it official but I can stand in front of 
the people that we call our friends and family and do it. Willow will 
you spend the rest of my life with me", Buffy asked and wiped the 
tears that had started to run down her cheek half way through her 
speech.
"I wouldn't be anywhere else", Willow said squeezing Buffy hand. The 
room erupted with congratulations and about times. Xander whistled 
getting everyone attention, "I think Buffy said that Willow had 
something to tell us."
"Can you top that, Will", Cordy asked.
"Well I was wondering if you guys knew anybody who wanted to fill a 
few positions for me. Lets see I need grandparents and aunts, an 
uncle and oh I know I need a eccentric aunt too", Willow said 
grinning as the recognition set in.
"Willow are you pregnant", Joyce asked.
"Yup, Jason and I decided to give it another try", Willow said.
"And we weren't drunk this time", Jason laughed. The room erupted 
again. Buffy stepped away and stood off to the side smiling at her 
family. Joyce, Cordy and Jenny were already talking about how to 
decorate the nursery. Xander, Giles, Jason and his boyfriend Bill 
where slapping each other on the back talking about the crib that 
Xander wanted to make. Buffy sought out Willow across the room and 
mouthed I love you. Willow face lit up and returned her sentiment and 
returned to her talk with the women about colors for the room. Yup 
the future looked pretty bright for the oldest living slayer.
