Well hoo-rah! What an excellent chapter. I'm getting impatient though I want to see Willow interact with Adrienne more. I also like the set up of this chapter through flashbacks while Tara worked. It was well done, a good way to show Tara at work while making it more interesting than telling the first part straight away. Plus gave you the opportunity for this gem:

"Tara! You wanna rub a hole in the table?”

So nicely done, am waiting very impatiently for next update!

Tara let me tell you who likes your feet men out there in the world like your feet but who loves your feet and long creamy legs willow. Willow does not mind you walking around barefooted or barenaked she loves everything about you so much she'll probably eat you if she already hasn't so no more analyzing you love her she eats i mean loves you and we have a big happy family with a cute child named adrienne. I tell you but this isn't that kind of fic so think throughly and sooner or later you'll find out that you guys were meant for each other, in other universes of course. GREAT UPDATE mon.

[hahler]

ok im here to give fb i love how your bringing the family together in a loving way but u could post 2 a week
no patients

[tru2urheart]

Okay, I don't usually make comments, that's why I'm a blessed wannabe, but I'm starting to open up a little. Love the fic. Wonderful, great, fantastic, all those other really good words, including really good .

All I ask is,MORE MORE MORE! Did I mention Please?

[onlykaren]

What? No Willow nor Adrienne? Well, that's okay though. It was a great updated anyway. Can't wait to see them going out together.

[The Rose24]

It seems as if Adrienne is exhibitng signs she is just like Willow. I can't wait to see how the two interact.

[sam]

That was great..wonderful . Love sam xx

[watty]

That was a nice update. Very nice. I like Ruminative Tara, and Loving Parent Tara, and "I think I want to be with Willow again" Tara. Otherwise why would she pick out things like

Their feet had been in perfect time again.

I smiled at Adrienne's frog fear. It's so feasible that it's genetic. And

Willow had laughed at that, in a sweet, parental way.

awwww, so sweet, and so sweet of Tara to notice.

The dinner and movie, good plan. Apart from not scaring Adrienne so much, it has a kind of date quality to it. I can't help but think that Adrienne herself will have no problems about Willow's presence, after all, she has already figured out that Willow is her other mother.

Poor Tarafeet. As someone who goes for foot massages regularly, I can relate.

Worker’s foot. She sighed, she would have to do something about it.

why do I get a sense that you're setting a scene sometime in the future for Willow to rub Tara's poor achy feet?

[Fleiss]

another great chapter!
cant wait for the dinner, should be entertaining

[tarawhipped]

Dammit, Watty already picked up on the foreshadowing of footrubs! Well, uhhh....crap....that was my one big insight.

This was so sweet, Megan, even though I wanted it to go on longer, I love that you're consistantly blessing us with an update a week on two stories, and that every Wednesday and Sunday I'll get a fix. You put so many wonderful details in here. I love that Adrienne has frog fear too, and that Willow has a thing for Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music (I count that as my first crush, even if I was clueless at the time!). Willow's lack of ice cream growing up was also a nice touch, and I like that she's using her experiences to offer Adrienne what she didn't have...even if it is a sugary fatty frozen treat. Tara's plan to let them get familiar with each other first seems sensible, AND allows for more interaction between W/T. Excellent! Can't wait til next week!

[Insanity]

Oh I liked this chapter very much. We get to know a lot about Tara's thoughts.

I especially liked the steering wheel incident. Just so cute!

And Arienne's frog fear. She can't deny beeing her mother's daughter.

It's a good thing, that they're getting more comfortable around one another again.

Insanity

[kindagay]

Hey

That was a teeny update, but it was chocked full of goodness

It was cool to get an insight into Tara's thoughts, & some very sweet thoughts she was having

This was very cute...

Tara’s smile softened, remembering the way Willow had closed her eyes and tilted her head back, enjoying the cool breath of air.

& I liked how Willow was fretting about getting Tara to work on time - so very 'Willow'
Willow seems to be in full on worry / perfectionist mode, which just shows how much spending time with Tara (& Adrienne) means to her - now if only Tara could figure that out...

Aww, poor Tara's feet I agree with uhm, whoever it was that foreshadowed it first (was it Watson?)... Well whoever it was, I think lots of foot massages are definitely required

So, is it ice-cream next update? Or are you gonna drag it out a bit? Either way, I can't wait

Hugs
Jeanne

[Emms]

Awww what a lovely update! I know I've often wondered if frog fear is genetic And I loved that this update was from Tara's POV, but now I'm kinda hoping that the next one will be about Willow and Adrienne.

[taralicious]

Tara,
How do I love your feet? Let me count the ways.
I would like to take baby oil and massage your tired and aching feet and pamper your calves with a delicate touch.
But enough of my fetishes.
I await Willow's interaction with Adrienne. Their movie choices aren't entirtely dissimilar, either.
"The Sound of Music" has Julie Andrews being chased by Nazis and "The Lion King" has parades of goose-stepping hyena Nazis.

[JustSkipIt]

Hey there,
Very happy to see this (short) update. Of course Tara is now doing a little obsessing. Of course she would. I'm glad that they decided to do something together. Definitely a good plan of action. I hate McDonalds! I could hardly describe how much and honestly there's a whole story behind it but let me sum up: I hate McDonalds! So I pity Tara if Adrienne picks that. I love Lion King and Sound of Music is dorky but sentimental. At least it's always predictable...

Why the rant about her feet? Do people really think about their feet that much. She should go get a pedicure. Just a thought. Ok, I'm back from vacation and I'll go read RSR now. Good update. Debra

[Naeryn]

LesbianJedi87 - Hey Rose. Love the enthusiasm!

AlysonGoddess - Heh, that just means you'll get two really close together!

wiccanbotanist - Yeah, I confess... I wrote that line before any of the rest of that update, then tried to figure out how I could work it in XD

chronicfuture - Holy... *blinks*

hahler - Can't post two a week, sorry. Can't handle that much.

tru2urheart - Actually, you didn't. Not until the end.

onlykaren - You'll like this then. It's very cute.

The Rose24 - Should be fun, yes?

sam - Thanks!

watson - You're good at picking out those little things. Stop it, you're giving bits away! I say NOTHING about foot massages...

Fleiss - Yes. Yes, it should.

tarawhipped - lol, it's those little details that make the story. You don't really notice when they get put in a lot of the time, but when they don't? You know. You're all, 'what the hell is this peice of crap?'

Insanity - All I can really say to that is 'yes' and 'thanks for reading' lol

kindagay - I could get into a whole psychology thing, but I won't 'cause it'd give stuff away. And ice cream isn't for awhile yet!

Miss Kitty's Ball O Yarn - Wish Granted. Heh, I should have a creepy veiny face.

taralicious - You know what? The movie thing? Total fluke. I just used my two favorites and applied the disney to the child.

JustSkipIt - Don't worry, I can't stand McDonalds either, so I won't be doing them any favours in my fic lol
Yeah, people think about their feet that much. At least when they're in pain. Six hour shift in uncomfortable shoes with barely an opportunity to sit down? OW.

-------------------
CHAPTER 9
-------------------







Adrienne frowned as a small blue car pulled up in front of the daycare. She was alternating watching through the window and playing with the callycater in her hand, figuring out which numbers made which bigger numbers. All the other kids had left already, since her mommy worked late today. So the car could only be there for her, and she didn’t know anyone with any little blue cars.

Then she smiled. The woman who got out of the car had bright red hair, and she definitely knew someone with bright red hair! She bounced off the couch and ran towards the front door. Halfway there, she stopped, ran back, put the callycater carefully in it’s place in the toybox, and started running back. Willow was here!

She was two feet from the front door when the doorbell chimed, calling the dark-haired woman who ran the daycare out of her house from the kitchen. She smiled down at Adrienne, ruffling up the girl’s auburn hair as she passed. Adrienne really liked Barbie. She laughed at the name the kids called her, her real name was Barbara. She remembered when her mom gave her the speech about how Barbara was the best kind of Barbie, because she was a real person and not an impossible social ideal, whatever that was.

Barbie swung open the door, smiling happily. Then she frowned. “Excuse me, I don’t believe I know you.”

Willow smiled, understanding. “It’s all right, really. I’m a friend of Tara’s.” She patted around herself a moment, and then reached into her butt pocket and pulled out a slightly crumpled piece of paper. “Here, it’s a note. Signed by her and everything. Says I can take Adrienne… if you want, I can tell you Adrienne’s full name and we can do a test to see if she recognizes me. I’ll stand in a lineup and everything!”

Scanning the note with her eyes, Barbie’s stance relaxed. Adrienne giggled and hurried forwards, hugging Willow’s leg since it was the closest part she could reach. “Hi Willow!” The redhead chuckled and kneeled, wrapping her arms around Adrienne, who returned the embrace. Barbie finished reading over the note and judged it to be legit. Taking a long look at Adrienne and Willow, both of whom looked back at her pleadingly, she let them go.

“What's her full name?”

Smiling still, Willow grabbed her wallet from her coat pocket. “Adrienne Lily Rosenberg Maclay.” She held out her driver’s license. “And Rosenberg is my last name.”

The woman blinked a few times, looking back and forth between Adrienne, the license, and the redhead in front of her. Finally giving up on trying to comprehend exactly what she was being told, she waved it away. “All right. Hang on, I’m going to call Tara. I really have to make sure, you understand, right?”

Willow nodded, the smile firmly in place on her face. Adrienne looked at Barbara, wondering what she was doing, just leaving the room and heading back to the kitchen without saying it was okay. They couldn’t leave without the okay. Adrienne wasn’t really sure why, but she knew that was the case.

A few moments passed, and then Barbie came back. “All right. She says I should trust the insane redhead, so you can take her. Be careful with her, she’s a sweetie.” She smiled down at Adrienne, who impulsively ran out and gave her a quick hug.

Willow held out her hand towards Adrienne. “Don’t I know it!” She looked down at the little girl. “Come on. We’re going to pick up your mommy from work, and then we’re all going out for dinner, my treat!”

They headed out to Willow’s rental car together. Adrienne stopped walking suddenly. “Willow.”

Willow looked down at the little girl. “Yes?”

“Do you have a special seat? I can’t ride in a car without a special seat.” Adrienne frowned at Willow, who began to laugh. It wasn’t funny! Grownups laughed at the strangest things.

“Y-yes, cutie. I got one,” she gasped out. Moments passed, and soon Adrienne too broke into giggles. Another minute, and Willow straightened, shaking off the laughter that had taken hold of her. “Come on, Adrienne. Let’s go get your mommy.”

She nodded, following Willow up to the car. Willow went to strap her in, but Adrienne held up her hand, claiming she could do it herself. Smiling, Willow stood back and watched as she strapped herself in properly, as she found on inspecting the job she’d done.

Slipping into the driver’s seat and snapping her own belt on, Willow sent a grin back at Adrienne. Turning the key in the ignition, she asked, “So, what did you do at daycare today?”

Adrienne began to bounce in her seat. “I played with callycaters! Did you know 23 and 10 make 33?” Her eyes were wide as saucers as the car pulled away from the curb. She hadn’t known 23 and 10 made 33. She’d have to remember that, she liked the number 33. It was all cool, ‘cause it repeated itself. And if you added the two threes together, you got six, which was three twice, like 33!

Willow swallowed her giggle and shook her head solemnly. “No, I didn’t know that. 33 is a pretty cool number, huh?”

“Yep!” Adrienne grinned and clapped enthusiastically.

“So, Adrienne, where do you want to go for dinner?”

“Oooh, oooh! McDonalds!”

Willow frowned. She couldn’t stand McDonalds, and neither could Tara. “Hey. You want to know something? I know a place that has even better burgers than McDonalds! And their meals come in pirate ships.”

Adrienne’s jaw dropped. Pirate ships? “Ooooh… Can we go there? Please?”

Smiling again, Willow nodded.

They pulled up in front of the coffee shop Tara stood in front of. Willow leaned over and tugged the door handle, pushing the door out so Tara could get in. The blonde slid into the seat, tilting her head back tiredly. She turned half around and smiled at her daughter. “Hey, Adrienne.”

“Hi Mommy!” She grinned broadly. “We’re going to get a pirate ship for dinner!”

Tara looked sideways at Willow. “What on earth have you been telling her?”

“It’s a restaurant. They serve kids’ meals in cardboard pirate ships.”

“Yeah, and their burgers are even better than McDonalds!”

Realizing that meant Willow had talked Adrienne out of the place she hardly dared called a restaurant, Tara sent a grateful smile the redhead’s way. Willow smiled back, reaching out and patting Tara’s shoulder. “You okay? You look tired.”

“Long day. Irritated customers. Sore feet.”

“Awww…” Willow leaned over and hugged Tara, who stiffened momentarily before returning the embrace. Then she sat back, pulling the car away from the curb. As they pulled up in front of White Spot not five minutes later, Adrienne smiled at the two women in the seats in front of her. They should be all gross together, like Jamie’s dads. They weren’t getting there fast enough on their own, so she was going to have to make them!

[SakuraEtsuko]

DIBS!

****comes back from reading********



awww!!! that was a cute heartwarming update!!!

They should be all gross together, like Jamie’s dads. They weren’t getting there fast enough on their own, so she was going to have to make them!

love that line!!!
great job megan...although they do seem to be moving slowly..cant wait to see what adrienne has in mind to motivate them!

~K~

[LesbianJedi87]

"bounces around"
The board is back up! And this was updated! WOO HOO!!
Im FILLED with enthusiasm!! WOOO!
Very cute cute cute update!
LiL kids make me luagh! This was a GREAT update!!!!!!!!

[The Rose24]

Adrienne is a cutie. I want to learn more about her. She and Willow should get along swimmingly.

[taralicious]

Naeryn,
Little children have the abililty to be shamelessly manipulative in achieving their desires as in Adrienne conspiring to get her two mommies closer together since they are moving way too slow on their own.
This represents a distinct example of the temporal diiference in looking at things between adults and children.
Willow does indeed have a special seat and it is called Tara's lap.
A restaurant where they serve kid's meals in pirate ships? "At a fish place, I love this country."
The way my uncle Jim's landlady used to boil hamburgers to warm them up would be better than eating at McDonald's.

[onlykaren]

Yep, definitely very cute!
I love Adrienne and her four and a half year old mind, really cute! And the interactions between Willow and her…I could totally picture them together, very very cute, hehe. Oh, and I definitely agree with the little redhead…they should be all gross together!
Looking forward to this dinner!

[watty]

What a cute chapter! It's wonderful to have Adrienne's pov. From the curious peek at Willow coming out of her car, the satisfied smile, and the easy way that she and Willow interacted. Makes me feel good.

I'm so glad the Barbie took the right pre-cautions to determine Willow can pick up Adrienne. Even with the note, and Adrienne obviously knowing her, she calls Tara to confirm, that's really responsible. From Tara's reaction

trust the insane redhead

I'm thinking Willow enthusiastically offered to pick Adrienne up, so they can do some bonding, and so Tara can rest her feet.

LOL about McDonald's. I don't know a single child who doesn't like McDonald's. Happy that Adrienne can get distracted by pirate ships. Happy that they're all going to dinner together.

The only black cloud is Tara's reaction when Willow hugged her, that just won't do! I'm with Adrienne, there needs to be kisses and gay love soon, very soon, and I totally Adrienne for taking matters into her own hands. May be some relaxing and sensuous foot rubs ?
[br]

[kindagay]

Update Sweet, happy update

Aww, how cute is Adrienne? All with the peeping out of the window, & wondering whose blue car it was & then her reaction when she realised that it was Willow & uhm, well, just about everything actually - very cute

I'm very impressed with Barbie, she's all precautious & thorough and it's obvious that she really cares about the kids in her daycare, but, she seems pretty laid back too (which is also good), otherwise Tara wouldn't have joked about Willow being

the insane redhead

- that comment could have made some people rather wary.

Yay! for restaurant with pirate ships, so sweet of Willow to rescue Tara from having to go to Macdonalds

Willow went to strap her in, but Adrienne held up her hand, claiming she could do it herself.

Yep, sounds like a typical four year old, wanting to be all independent

“I played with callycaters! Did you know 23 and 10 make 33?” Her eyes were wide as saucers as the car pulled away from the curb. She hadn’t known 23 and 10 made 33. She’d have to remember that, she liked the number 33. It was all cool, ‘cause it repeated itself. And if you added the two threes together, you got six, which was three twice, like 33!

My goodness, she's like, an exact mini replica of Willow, it's adorable

Willow leaned over and hugged Tara, who stiffened momentarily

Hmm, that's not so good, although, it is kinda understandable, the hug sort of surprised me a little too, it still feels a little early for hugs I think.

Adrienne smiled at the two women in the seats in front of her. They should be all gross together, like Jamie’s dads. They weren’t getting there fast enough on their own, so she was going to have to make them!

Oh yay! Mini Cupid's on the case, I can't wait to see how Adrienne tries to get her mommies to be 'all gross together'

Well, I'm looking forward to reading about their little family meal.

Hugs
Jeanne

[JustSkipIt]

Hey there,
I like this update quite a bit because they are moving slowly but seem to be really in "getting to know each other" mode. I mean Willow picked up Adrienne and the visited and they're all going to dinner. I also like Willow's asking Tara about her day and their closeness. Well done.

[Tonto]

Helloooo......

I really loved this update even though it was way too short. I cannot wait for them to sit down to dinner and get with the chatting. Willow is really getting a long well with Adrienne. Adrienne is so adorable. I cannot say that enough!

“Do you have a special seat? I can’t ride in a car without a special seat.”

I really loved this line. At first I was like....what does she mean by 'special seat' but then after a few agonizing seconds it hit me. I'm still coming off my high from laughing so much.

Keep the udates coming..........pretty please! See you next Wednesday!

[YMKA]

Hey Meg!

You know...I talk to you in chat almost every day....so when you talk to someone you read...you kinda forget about leaving fb....and that is very bad of me!!! plus I promised [now, don't kill me because of my typos please!]

As I said to do...I really enjoy this story And even asked ya to post it earlier (for you) when I was out for 3 weeks. For that I'd like to thank you!!!! That was really nice of you

I love Adrienne....she's so cute...and you show how she has Willow's qualities...and oh my god...she has Willow's last name!!! And that Barbie girl...you made ma laugh..... I was actually confused...."What's barbie doing here?....why barbie?...eh?" And Barbie calling Tara.... "She says I should trust the insane redhead, ......

As I mentioned it before...VERY SHORT!!!!! But you said next update is going to be longer....can't wait to read that!!!!

Thanks!

M.

[sam]

That was so wonderful. Adrienne is so frigging cute!! Love sam xx
