New Fic- Never A Night Like This (AU)

[YouGetMe]

Holly



I don't know where to begin, but I do know that you are doing one great job on this fic. It really is a heart healer you know? Anyone can read this and say that it just takes your breath away the way you write this family. A very beautiful family. One that belongs together forever, whether or not they actually stay together, a family they'll always be.



Oh and Oddy misses you.

Summary: Willow is one of the hottest models in the world. When she comes home for her holiday, she meets a nice family that is new to Sunnydale. Can she find love, and continue her much loved career? This is an AU fic. There will be a little angst between some characters, but nothing big for I want to keep the angst issue light. Thoughts are in < >



~Part 29a~

Two Weeks Later



“Ok…wow.” Willow breathed heavily as Tara’s head came up from under the covers. Their bodies were slicked with sweat and Tara’s face was a rosy red, matching perfectly with her girlfriend’s. “Can I have that every morning?”



Tara smirked and nuzzled Willow’s neck playfully nibbling. “I think…” Her tongue traced little circles up towards her ear, “You can have…” She whispered huskily, “Anything you want love.” Her mouth engulfed the redhead’s earlobe, sucking gently.



Willow felt a moan escape her lips. Her heart pounded against her chest. “Tara.” She groaned when their bodies moved together again slowly.



It was only early in the morning when Tara had woken up the red head by kissing her way down the freckled body. Of course she knew that this act would only lead them to a lot more play rather than sleeping. Neither girl minded though, especially not Willow.



Lips pressing against her ear, Willow heard Tara whisper, “Why don’t you go get the shower going, I’ll be there in a few.” Green eyes flew open to meet deep burning blue.



Tara sat up, straddling her girlfriend, tracing circles on the taut stomach grinning down at her lover. “So?” She asked playfully, her head tilting towards the bathroom door.



“So? I kind of can’t move when you’re on top of me.” Willow coyly smiled resting her hands on Tara’s hips.



“And you’re complaining?” Tara raised a questioning eyebrow.



Willow sat up and held Tara close to her, pressing her cheek against the warm sticky skin of Tara’s chest. “No complaints here, no ma’am.”



“Great.” Tara kissed the top of Willow head and extracted herself gently from her girlfriend’s loving embrace. “I am going to check on Hadley, see if she’s up or not.”



Willow groaned when the cold air hit her body all at once. She watched Tara’s robe covered body disappear out into the hallway. Quickly she threw on her own robe and made her way into the bathroom.



“Bubble bath or shower?” The red head wondered turning on the cold water, then the hot water to balance out the warmth and temperature. Thinking about it for a minute, she peeled off her robe and stepped into the rather hot stream. “Shower it is.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Tara looked in the room Hadley chose for when they stayed at the model’s place. Of course the little girl’s name written in marker on the door gave that away a long time ago when Willow first started to have Hadley there during the times Tara needed a babysitter.



Tara giggled at the thought of actually sleeping with one of Hadley’s babysitters. But Willow was no longer a babysitter, she was much more than that. Willow was the missing piece to their family. Hadley loved the red head so much, calling her Willmy and all.



The blonde was slightly surprised when she found her daughter in bed still.



Most of the time Hadley was up and about. Playing with her toys or her rather new wardrobe and Brady, she was always quiet except for when it came time to wake up Tori, but Tori made it clear the night before that with Dawn spending the night, they’d probably be up chatting all night and would like to sleep in. Willow had made it clear to Joyce, Buffy, Tori, and Tara that Dawn will be going to her own room by the end of the night or else no more sleepovers.



Tara kissed her daughter on the forehead then the puppy and shut the door quietly behind her. She walked over to Tori’s room and knocked lightly, opening the door she found her younger sisters bed empty and made still. Frowning, she turned to walk down the hall a bit to Dawn’s room and gave a gentle knock as well. Slowly she turned the knob and peeked her head through. Breathing a sigh of relief she seen Tori and Dawn curled up in their jammies.



“Tara?” Tori whispered rubbing her eyes then sat up quickly. “This is so not what it looks like.”



Tara snickered and rolled her eyes a bit, “Now tell me, what does this look like?”



“Uh…just sleeping.” Tori calmed down, starting to wake. She looked at her girlfriend sleeping peacefully beside her. “She’s beautiful Tara.”



“I know.” Tara agreed standing near the bed.



“So, the brat isn’t up?” Tori asked giggling.



“No, I believe you and Dawn wore Hadley out last night with all that hide and seek.” Tara laughed tucking blonde hair behind her ear.



“You’re up early.” The young Maclay quirked an eyebrow at her older sister.



“It’s not early, it’s after eight you know.”



“Well I’m a teenager, eight is still very early, besides you’re old.”



Tara smirked at her sister and ruffled her hair a bit. “Not old sweetie, just more mature.”



“Riiiight.” Tori backed away from Tara. “And get away from me…unless you’re wearing clothes underneath that robe, which I highly doubt.”



“Aw, come on, don’t be like that…I’m your sister, you loooove me…” Tara grinned.



“Ew…back off.” Tori squealed sitting back more waking up Dawn by accident.



“What?” Dawn rubbed her eyes and sat up a little looking over at Tori. A grin curled up at her lips as she moved in for a good morning kiss.



“Wait…until I leave the room.” Tara said startling the young Summers.



“Tara, hey.” Dawn smiled blushing a bit.



“Hey.” Tara smiled back.



“TARA!” A voice rang through the halls.



All three heads in the bedroom turned towards Willow’s room.



“Uh oh…blondie, you’re in trouble.” Tori teased.



Tara gave a quick smirk and ran out the door leaving the two teens alone for their morning kissage to find her love.

What a cute morning scene.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[sheila wt]

This story is so absolutely sweet, it's unbelivable!



I love the whole family interaction, they are all too cute...



But I can't help thinking about Willow's trip... it's getting closer and closer, poor girls... Every update I think, ok it's now... I'm dying to see what you're going to do with this situation. I'm sure it's going to be something as wonderful as the rest of the story.

[Cindipitude]

Holly,



I love your wake up calls



And Tori and Dawn stealing some time away for just holding...thats always nice to have

And poor Hadley.....so worn out from playtime the night before.

Makes me wish I was a little kid again, sleeping the sleep of the truly contented and happy child, who has everything she wants and no fear.

And yes a bit of a cliffhanger, but it's nice to see Tara isn't stubborn when it comes to Willow and showers...she went running the *first* time Willow called out for her



Loving this sweetie, and yay!



Shower scene!

Oooh and I got a Yea

Go ME!

*just noticed* Hey! No Hiding! *grins*

[Grimlock72]

Heh, I can so imagine Willow's kinda frustrated call to Tara to get in the shower already



Hardly surprising that Tori and Dawn spend the night in the same room. Even though they promised otherwise, not nice to do that to Willow really. Who's to say Joyce would have a problem with that anyway, did they ever ask her ??



Sooo we got no shower scene because your computer refuses to cooperate ? Well, assuming you've a windows pc, mail me the problems you got if they're still there. I do IT-support for a living, a lowly pc shouldn't but too much trouble



I don't mind waiting a bit for an update really, christmas is hardly a period where you have plenty of free time. With all the required dinners and such it's actually hard work

Somehow it is the perfect combination with Tara and Willow so in love and sexy and then Hadley & Brady asleep (this story doesn't make me want a child now any less). And Tori & Dawn snuggled together in pjs? How cute is that? ahhhh. Thanks for the update. When is the evil australia trip? Must be soon since this is 2 weeks later.



Happy New Year. debra
