"So Tara, how's it feel to know you're going to be a daddy?" Xander asked the blonde.

Tara couldn't help but the notice the way Willow shifted in her
seat
and hated that the new conversation was making her so uncomfortable. "Um&well I don't know ask me after the baby's born
and
I haven't slept in a month," Tara said.

Buffy smiled and scooted closer to Tara on the couch. It had been four months since she had told her parents and friends about the
baby
and Tara had stepped up and taken responsibility. A lot had
happened
since then, Jenny's death and Willow's retirement being the
biggest.
She too noticed Willow's shifting and couldn't help but rub her
hands
over her growing belly. At six month along she could no longer hide her pregnancy. A momentary flash of guilt floated through her mind
at
keeping the secret from the former Slayer. Tara had promised to support her but she still tried to convince Buffy that she needed
to
tell Willow that the baby was hers but Buffy knew that too much
time
had passed and there was just no way she could do it now. "So Will, where's the kids today?" Buffy asked her, trying to ease the discomfort the Slayer was feeling.

"Huh, oh they went shopping with Cordy."

Xander chuckled, "You're a brave woman to let Cordy take your kids shopping. Please just tell me you didn't give them the credit card?"

"Um&yeah, why?" Willow asked.

"Hehe, that'll be a shocker when you see that bill," Xander
snickered.

"Oh I know but I'm used to it after living with their mother. She used to be able to do some damage," Willow said sadly.

"You miss her, don't you?" Joyce asked from her spot beside Giles
on
the couch. Joyce could hear the sadness and longing in the red
head's
voice.

"All the time."

"Well the good to hear," the voice said from the foyer
doorway. "Glad
to know I didn't come back for nothing. I was going to knock but I didn't figure I could get anyone to let me in."

Willow jumped up and blocked the newcomer from entering the room, "You're dead."

"Yeah&well." She said and shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh God not The First again," Willow mumbled her mind racing to figure out how protect her family.

The older looking Buffy chuckled and walked over to the bookshelf
and
picked up a book, "I kinda figured you think that but look. Ok let
me
think of something only we would know. Not long after we moved to Cleveland, the twins were three and we were in the kitchen. I was cooking dinner and you were playing with the girls. Xander came in the front door. Jess loved her Uncle Xander and she took off for
the
living room. Well she tripped where the tile met the carpet and busted her head open on the coffee table. Oh god I flipped. I was crying and she was crying. You&you were so calm. You got her
cleaned
up and made her stop crying, Xander finally had to take me outside because I was upsetting the other kids. We took her to the
emergency
room and they didn't even have to put stitches in, they just used that super glue stuff. That night after I'd tucked the other two girls in bed, I found you in our bedroom and you were rocking Jess. God you looked so beautiful sitting there holding her, I just stood in the doorway for the longest time. I think it was that minute
right
there that I knew; I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my
life
with you. We never really talked about it before. I knew that I
cared
for you but somehow up until then it was like we were playing
house.
After I had carried Jess to bed, I lost it. I couldn't hold it together anymore. All my super human strength and I couldn't keep
my
baby from getting hurt. You pulled me into bed and held me. You
told
me that we couldn't run behind them and keep them safe. That they were going to get bumps and bruises and broken hearts, that all we could do was be there for them, to kiss the boo boo's or soothe the heartaches," Buffy paused and started inching forward. "After I had finally quit crying like a baby, I got down on my knee and I asked you if you'd be willing to get up in front of our family and commit to spending the rest of your life with me. You made me the happiest woman alive that night and said yes."

Willow had been slowly making her way to the newcomer all through
her
speech and as she finished launched herself forward, "Buffy."

"Yeah baby, it's me." Buffy caught the red head and held her tight.

"How?" Willow cried.

"I guess saving the world umpteen times puts you in good favor of
the
Powers To Be. After waiting in some kind of cosmic waiting room and let me tell you you'd think someone like the PTB would have a
better
selection of magazines but they didn't have any. Anyway I finally
got
to see them and as a reward for everything I did, I got a choice. I could either go on and go to heaven or I could come back to you."
"You gave up heaven for us?" Willow asked.

"No," Buffy said and looked into the former slayers eyes. "For me being here with you and the kids is heaven."

Willow hugged Buffy and whispered in her ear, "I've missed you so much."

"Me too, baby. Me too."

Willow turned, "Buffy's home."

Buffy took the time to look over the group gathered in the Giles living room, "Mom, well I guess you're not my mom but you look just like her and I don't know whether I can not call you mom. You don't mind if I call you mom, do you?"

"Breath honey. I think you spent way too much time with the other Will. You picked up her babbling along the way," Willow laughed,
not
letting go of the blonde.

"Relax, Buffy if you want to call me mom feel free," Joyce told the newcomer.

"You do realize that this Joyce is only six years older then you, Buff." Willow chuckled at the dumbfounded look on her partners
face.

"Oh&yeah, younger Buffy, younger mom. Still you'll always be mom to me," Buffy said with determination. "Giles, I like this less
uptight
look."

"Yes well it's nice to get to meet you. Willow has told me so much about you," Giles said rising to shake her hand.

"Still a proper Englishman though," Buffy chuckled taking the
offered
hand. "Tara&wow, Will said you were different but damn girl, you
look
hot. It's good to see you again."

"Willow said my counterpart was a bit shy," Tara said returning Buffy's hug.

"Shy might be an understatement," Buffy answered and turned to the younger Buffy. "Hi. Now I know how weird it was for Willow the
first
time she met Will."

"Yeah," Buffy mumbled, not making eye contact with her other self.

"And look it's little Xander," the older Buffy said approaching the younger version of her best friend. "Wow Buff," Xander said looking between the two Buffy's, "You look good when you get old&umm&er."
"Did he just call me old," Buffy asked looking around the room.

"Yes I believe he did," Willow chuckled.
"But&but I said you looked good," Xander sputtered.

"Well ok then I'll be sure to be quick when I kick your ass," Buffy said, glaring at the young man.

"Eep," Xander yelled and ran to hide behind Willow.

Buffy collapsed into the chair laughing, "Relax Xan-man, I won't
hurt
you. Will where's the girls?"

"The mall with Cordy."

"You let our children go shopping with Cordy? What did they ever do to you?" Buffy questioned.

Willow pulled Buffy out of the chair and sat down, pulling Buffy
into
her lap, "Hush, she's not as bad here. She's actually really nice."

"Cordelia Chase and nice in the same sentence, this I have to see," Buffy chuckled.

"I retired," Willow told Buffy.

"I know," Buffy told her.

"How?" "PTB, they were very informative. I know all kinds of things, even
a
few secrets," Buffy said and looked between the younger Buffy and Tara.

"Ooh what kind of secrets?" Willow asked.

"All in good time, Hon."

"Party pooper," Willow pouted.

"So who wants drinks?" Joyce asked, standing up.

"Hey mom, why don't you let me and Buffy and Tara get those? We can bond," older Buffy said.





"So how's it feel to be back?" Tara asked, trying to break the silence that had developed as soon as they had entered the kitchen.

"I can't wait to see the kids. I missed them and Will so much."

"I bet, we tried to help but she loved you so much," Tara told her.

"Thanks for looking out for her for me. You need to tell her
Buffy."
Buffy turned to her counterpart.

"Tell her what?" Buffy asked, her back to the blonde Slayer.

"I understand why you didn't but she still needs to know. This is
her
baby too."

"So you know?" Tara asked.

"Yeah and I'm here now, so your fear of her just wanting to be with you because of it are kinda moot now," Buffy told them, wanting to make sure Buffy knew that she had no plans of giving up her red
head.

"Yeah I guess so," Buffy said lowering her head.

"Look kiddo, I'm not trying to hurt you. It really does work out in the end, you were meant to be with someone else. You just have to trust me on this. She has a right to know."

"Who has a right to know what?" Willow asked from the doorway. "We were beginning to wonder if you all got lost."

"Willow I think you ought to sit down. Little Buffy has something
she
needs to tell you before I do," Buffy said making sure Buffy knew
she
would tell Willow if she didn't.

Tara came to stand beside her best friend taking her hand, "Buffy, tell her."

"I-I can't."

Tara looked at the confused Slayer, "Will, remember the demon
aspect
thingy?"

"Um&yeah. Giles was kind of worried I would change or something or the other but I didn't."

"Yeah you did," the younger Buffy whispered.
"How"

Tara tried to come up with a delicate way of telling the red head that she momentarily changed genders and gotten Buffy pregnant, "Um& well&you see&uh&there just isn't an easy or delicate way to say
this."

"So just tell me," Willow growled, becoming impatient.

"You got a penis," the older Slayer finally shared.

"WHAT!! That was like&I don't know long it was but it was before I left and you guys are just telling me now," Willow yelled.

"Six months ago," Tara muttered.

"You didn't remember it and I didn't want to embarrass you," Buffy said.

"You still should have told me," Willow told them.

Tara sighed, "I know but Will that's not all."

"Of course not, that would be too easy," Willow mumbled and sat
down
in the stool at the bar.

"It seems in your fevered delirious state you&uh&had sex with
Buffy,"
Tara rushed hoping the Slayer understood her.

"I had sex with Buffy? I HAD SEX WITH BUFFY?" Willow yelled and
stood
to pace.

"Honey calm down." Older Buffy caught her with one arm and pulled
her
close.

"Calm down? Have you lost your fucking mind? I had sex with Buffy that I don't remember, no one told me about it and you want me to calm down"

"The baby's yours," Buffy whispered looking into the red headed Slayers eyes.

Willow started to open her mouth then closed unsure of what she was going to say. "M-mine?"

"Yes"

"Why&why didn't you tell me," Willow asked taking the younger
Buffy's
hand.

Buffy wiped the tears that were making their way down her
cheeks, "I
knew that you'd feel obligated to take care of me and I didn't want that to be how we got together. I wanted us to be together because you loved me, not out of a sense of responsibility."

"So you think I would've moved you in across the street and play house because I felt obligated too?"

"And you would've too," the older Buffy said stepping in to defend her counterpart.

"Huh," Willow said turning to Buffy.

"Oh come Will, think about it. It's how we finally got together. Do you think it would've happened if we didn't have the girls?" Buffy questioned her.

"I&uh&no," Willow stumbled.

"See, she did have some precedence here," Buffy told her.

"Still&"

"No Will, she was scared, hurt and had no idea what to do. Remember how scared and confused you were when you found out about the twins and we knew it was a possibility."

"Ok, so the babies mine. Oh god I'm going to be a father," Willow said in a panic.

"Honey it not like it's the first time," Buffy laughed. "We do have three of our own."

"Oh yeah, yeah three that don't know you're alive yet."

"Will they be home soon," Buffy asked, excited at the chance to see her kids again.

"Yes we should go home," Willow said standing up. Willow hugged the younger Buffy and whispered in her ear, "It's ok. I understand, I think. It'll be fine. We can work this out, I promise."

Buffy sniffled then smiled, "I think we will. You have your Buffy back. I'm happy for you."

"Really?" Willow asked.

"Yeah and it was pointed out to me that I'm meant for someone
else,"
Buffy said and glanced shyly at Tara.

"I&go for it," Willow told her seeing the look she gave Tara.
Willow
pointed at Tara, "And you, Witch."

Tara shifted from one foot to the other, "Oh boy."

"Thank you for taking care of her."

"Your welcome, I think I kind of liked it," Tara beamed.

"Come on Slayer lets go home," Buffy said dragging Willow out the back door.
