Kittens!! This one may the shortest yet. I kept it that way because the next Part takes place maybe a week ahead. And I do have more of Hadley's reaction. But for now, I wanted to post this. Again, forgive the shortness, I meant for it to be. 
Hope you Enjoy!

~Part 43a~~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tara and Willow entered The Maclay house, giggling and kissing. Someone clearing their throat brought them out of their happy daze.
“Have fun?” Tori smirked, walking up to her sister and Willow.
“Much fun.” Tara answered, kissing Willow on the cheek. “Where’s Had?” She asked, furrowing her brow when the little blonde never came running in like usual.
“Out like a light. She tried to keep her eyes open while we watched Lilo and Stitch for the third time.” Tori smiled and took the bag from Willow. “She told me that you shouldn’t worry about reading her a book just in case she fell asleep.”
“But I wanted too.” Willow pouted playfully.
“So???” Dawn stepped in and was practically bouncing from foot to foot.
“So?” Willow gave her a confusing glance.
“Did ya?” Dawn rubbed her hands together.
Tori and Tara exchanged looks. “Did she what?” Tori asked her girlfriend.
“I did!” Willow’s face broke from to serious to ecstatic. She grabbed Dawn’s hands as they jumped up and down.
Tori and Tara laughed. “What’s going on?” Tori asked again, smiling widely.
“Oh you know…” Tara pretended to yawn and put her left hand up to her mouth. “Just getting married.”
“What?!” Tori stepped back in shock. “She asked…you asked?” She swung to look at the red head. Wanting to get into the excited action, Tori threw herself in Dawn and Willow’s arms, bouncing up and down.
“Shh, you’re going to wake up Hadley.” Tara giggled quietly. “Or we could…”
“No, let her sleep.” Willow smiled softly. “First thing in the morning, we’ll tell her.”
“Okay.” Tara agreed and looked into green orbs.
“Yes well, you two want to watch Lilo and Stitch with us? We’re going for a new record.” Tori grinned and led her sister to the couch.
“Um, Tor? Don’t you think they’d want to be alone?” Dawn raised an eyebrow, smiling.
“No.” Tori shook her head and sat down, putting the popcorn bowl on Tara’s lap.
Willow and Tara exchanged smiles and the red head sat down beside Tara. “It’s okay Dawn.” She grinned. “Tara and I have the rest of our lives to do any celebrating.”
“I just want my sister and sister-in-law to sit down with us and watch a movie for once. Is that so bad?” Tori asked looking at the older women.
“No, not a problem at all.” Willow snuggled against Tara.
Dawn sighed and flopped down next to her girlfriend. “We could’ve had the living room to ourselves.” She whispered.
“We could’ve…but why not wait until we have the whole house to ourselves.” Tori nudged Dawn playfully. “Let’s just enjoy the movie…again.”
Dawn smiled and leaned in, kissing the brunette on the cheek softly. “Okay.”

Hadley felt very warm in her bed the next morning. She shut her eyes tightly and stretched, curling her fingers and toes, letting out a small sigh. She froze when she felt soft breathing on both sides of her neck. Turing to her left, she seen bright green eyes looking back at her, smiling softly. “Hey mommy.” She whispered.
“Hey baby girl.” Willow spoke quietly.
Turning her head to her right, Hadley was eye to eye with her mama. “Good morning, Mama.” She reached her hand over and caressed her cheek.
“It is a good morning.” Tara grinned and moved forward, placing a kiss on her daughters cheek. “How did you sleep?”
“Good. I had a dream about a monkey again. He was wearing a clown costume and was at Dawn’s birthday party.” Hadley let out a small giggle.
“Cute.” Willow smiled and wrapped her arm around Hadley’s small waist, allowing her fingertips to caressed Tara’s slightly exposed stomach.
Hadley relaxed and smiled softly. Her parents were in bed with her and what a way to wake up and start the day; family snuggles.
Tara smiled over at her lover and licked her lips. She was more then ready to let Hadley know about the recent engagement. “Hey Had, Mommy and I have something we want to share with you.”
Wide blue eyes looked at both of her parents, questionably. She waited and watched the smiles turn into mile wide grins. “What?” She asked getting all excited.
“Mommy asked me to marry her. We’re getting married.” Tara smiled as she watched Hadley’s face go from excited to shocked then back to excited again.
“What?” Hadley asked, sitting up, her curls flying around her head as she turned her quickly to look at her parents, several of times before her gaze landed on Willow. “You…really did?”
Willow nodded and laughed as Hadley bolted up and started jumping on the bed. “You’re getting married!” She squealed. “I have a family!!” She jumped up and down for falling to her knees and hugging her parents. “Really?” She asked a bit out of breath.
“Really, really.” Tara smiled and pulled her daughter close. “And yes, a family. We have a perfect family.”
Willow watched the two blondes embrace in a huge hug. “Come on, mommy.” Hadley reached out her hand and allowed Willow to join in their hug. “Perfect.” She nuzzled the red head’s collarbone.
The three fell into a comfortable silence, letting such a powerful moment settle and surround them.
Hadley squeezed her eyes shut, smiling brightly.

Paulie: You think I'm a lesbian?
Mary: You're a girl in love with a girl, aren't you?
Paulie: No, I'm Paulie in love with Tori. And Tori is - she is in love with me, because she is mine and I am hers. And neither of us are lesbians. - Lost and Delirious -

, happy happy..and "Willow was getting frustrated with herself, this wasn’t what she wanted to say but then decided that whatever words she used...", that's an entirely real and very true description, that overwhelming feeling you can't put into words, Holly you are so good with showing the emotions...
Whoo-hoo!!! I can't wait to see Hadley's reaction. She's gonna start floating or something outta sheer happiness.
