The Right Decision

Jeanne....



The chaos was perfect... it was wedding preparations you described... pre-wedding activities usually = chaos . I loved seeing how the different people of the scooby family handled the pressure .

Maid of horror... that's perfect. I can't wait for the wedding... knowing you it'll be hilarious.

I got bitten by a drunk lesbian! Does that mean I'll turn into one?

I have been trying to leave you feedback on this cutesy- wootsy update since yesterday morning, but I keep finding myself interrupted by stinkin' real life stuff. Grrrr.



I loved it, and not to worry, the jumping around from house to house wasn't confusing at all. Everyone was in such a tight-nit group at their individual houses that it was easy to tell who was where....and the nifty line-breaks helped too.



Yes Bob is back and he may not look happy about it, but believe me, in his own way...he is simply ecstatic to be here. He says to tell Steve "Hi".



I'll leave more feedback later, cause I don't feel like I've gotten my full ramble out, but I have to go to work...

I can wax philisophically on a variety of different subjects...that doesn't,however, mean that I have anything constructive to add to the conversation.

I didnt think it was confusing either, just great! Keep 'em coming!!

Hello dear sweet kittens . How are you all? I hope you're well



Okay, I know that I haven't updated for ages & I deserve to be punished , but RL stuff has been piling up and it's a wonder I find time to sit down some days.

Plus, do you have any idea how much planning & organizing you need to do for a wedding? Let me tell you, it's hard work - & this was only a fictitious one



Anyway, the update is all finished & ready to post, but, I have some replies & thank you's to post first, for the wonderful kitties who left me feedback oh so long ago for the last update - Thank you all





DreamLover: Hello

I'm glad you enjoyed the pre-wedding chaos & I'm very glad that it wasn't confuse-y

So, you were impressed with the limos yes? Aww, I'm sure Dawn & Kate would have loved to have you there, but uhm, I don't think I could have gotten you into the limo - sorry

The maid of horror comment was kinda funny wasn't it? Do you know, I honestly think I pinched that from something, but I can't for the life of me remember what.

Yes, next stop is the wedding - I hope it lives up to your expectations - I've tried to make it as sweet as possible & also, very soon, I promise there will be much hot, Willow & Tara love



Aww, you rushed back just to say that you'd give Xander some slack? - that's so sweet of you





behindhereyes: I'm glad you felt that the chaos was perfect. It was lots of fun figuring out how all the different scoobies would handle the pressure & I'm glad you had fun reading it





watersong84: Thanks for the feedback , wedding coming soon





Tempest Duer: I'm glad people appreciated the 'maid of horror' comment - & it is such a wonderful, accurate way of describing Anya

Wedding is coming very soon - but I went with sweet & romantic rather than hilarious. I hope you still enjoy it





Emms: Hey sweetie ,

I'm sorry that RL kept getting in your way when you were trying to leave feedback. Judging from the rate at which you're updating all of your wonderful fics recently, I'll assume it's safe to say that RL is being a bit easier on you now? - which is definitely of the good



I'm really glad you enjoyed the update & yeah, the nifty line-breaks are pretty useful for stopping any confusion aren't they?





pipsberg: I'm glad there was no confusion & that you thought it was a great update

Thanks for the feedback - more coming soon





CrazyTaraWitch: Sorry I've kinda kept you waiting for the wedding. It's all finished now & I hope the vows are as sweet as you hoped.



Sorry I had you a little confuse-y - I was trying to explain what was going on without over-explaining it.

Anyway, Anya was at Buffy's helping Ryan get dressed, & then a little later, Xander walked over to Buffy's so that he could get the limo from there. - I hope that clears it up for you



Update coming right after this - sorry, again, for making you wait.





Okay kittens, the wedding will be posted in a minute or so, I really hope you feel that it's worth the wait.



Hugs

Jeanne

Hello ,



Welcome one and all to the wedding of Miss Dawn Summers and Miss Kate Bell. Grab a chair, make yourself comfortable and enjoy....



_____________________________________________________________________________



Le Château D’Or was a newly established, four-star hotel, located on the outskirts of Sunnydale. The large, five-storey mock-Tudor style building stood elegantly in the centre of an acre of expertly landscaped gardens.

The hotel offered a reasonably priced, comprehensive wedding service which included everything needed for the ceremony; a silver service banquet lunch reception; as well as an evening disco and the use of hotel rooms for all guests for the day and night of the wedding.



Dawn’s limousine arrived at the hotel grounds first and travelled slowly along the pebbled drive-way, coming to a stop outside the huge, mahogany, external doors. The doors of the limousine were opened and an eager young bellboy met everyone at the entrance.



“Good morning ladies, gentlemen, welcome to Le Château D’Or. I trust you are with the Summers and Bell wedding party?”

“I’m Miss Summers.”

The bellboy smiled at Dawn’s confirmation and held the door of the hotel open so that the guests could enter.



“My name’s Benjamin Clarke, I’m here to see to anything you might need. If you’d all like to follow me, I’ll show you to reception and sir can book in.” Ben indicated the large reception desk to Giles.

“I believe you’re all familiar with the layout of the hotel, Miss Summers will wait in the Nightingale Suite until everything is ready.”



Just as Dawn was settling in to the Nightingale Suite a second bellboy, who introduced himself as Adam Jennings, was welcoming the occupants of the second limo.



Whilst Kate and her father followed Adam into the hotel Lydia and Jules skipped gracefully behind and stopped as they approached the two identical stone statues which stood at either side of the doors. Each of the smooth sculptures depicted a small cherub, with a turtle dove resting delicately on their small outstretched hands.



“Good morning little cherubs, how are you today?” The twins greeted the statuettes and giggled, curtseying politely.



“I believe Miss Summers is in the Nightingale Suite, so if you’d like to follow me to the Kingfisher Suite. The guests have already started to arrive and everything should be ready to begin promptly at noon.”



----------------------------------



As an orchestrated rendition of a soft, familiar melody filled the ceremony hall, a reverent hush descended among the small gathering of friends and family. Even Alicia, who had been giggling and gurgling at her Aunt Tara, became quiet. Everyone stood and turned their heads towards the doors at the rear of the room.



Xander, the best man, lead the procession, his shiny leather shoes squeaking just a little with every step. He was followed by Buffy and Willow whose simple, elegant, deep lavender bridesmaid dresses perfectly accentuated their every curve. The silk fabric shimmered under the soft sunlight that filtered in through the small skylight in the angled roof of the hall.



As she walked past Tara, Willow mouthed ‘I love you’ and flashed her love a sweet smile. A simple, significant look passed between the two women; a silent agreement that the next scooby wedding would be theirs.



Ryan was the next down the aisle; a precious grin lit up his face as he carried the two commitment rings, tied with a silver ribbon upon a white silk cushion and took his place, stood proudly with his father and Buffy.

Lydia and Julia walked slowly, yet excitedly, down the aisle, they each carried a little basket, out of which they scattered white rose petals along the floor. Their identical, lilac satin dresses made them look like “fairy princesses”. The sleeveless bodice of the dresses had a square-cut neckline and tiny white bows sewn along the V-shaped waistline. The full, bell-shaped skirt flared out with the help of a tulle underskirt, and an escalloped hemline accentuated the overall design of the skirt. The ‘finishing touch’ was provided by more tiny white bows, sewn at each point where one scalloped curve met the next.



When the twins had taken their places at the front of the room with their mother; the romantic, musical ballad stopped and the orchestra began to play the traditional wedding march.



Giles proudly walked his youngest surrogate daughter down the aisle. The Brit was determined that he wouldn’t cry, but was having some trouble holding back a tear that shone in the corner of his eye.



Dawn looked breathtaking in a beautiful, off the shoulder wedding gown in pale-gold silk with a draped cowl neckline in faux-fur of the same colour. The delicately embroidered, figure hugging bodice was fastened at the back with tiny gold hooks and accentuated the bride's tiny waist-line. A curved seam around the waist flared into a simple and elegant A-line floor-length skirt.



Kate’s father slowly escorted his only child towards the woman she loved. Even as they made their way down the aisle he kept repeating to his daughter that she looked beautiful, an opinion which was shared by everyone else in the room.



Kate’s silk A-line gown was the colour of champagne and the fabric fit naturally to her feminine curves, the low-cut, scooped neckline offered a teasing glimpse of her ample cleavage. Sheer cap sleeves were delicately edged with white beading to match the beaded decoration around the hem of the flared skirt.



As the two brides finally took in the vision of one another in their wedding gowns their breath caught in their throats

“You’re stunning.” Dawn whispered, overwhelmed tears sparkling in the corner of her eyes.

Kate subtly took her love’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“You’re breathtaking.” Kate smiled, desperate to delicately kiss her girl’s lips, but sorely aware of the fact that she had to wait.



“Dearly beloved.” The officiator began, calling for everybody’s attention.



Dawn and Kate slowly, reluctantly, pulled their gaze away for each other. Their hands, however, remained firmly entwined throughout the ceremony.



“We are gathered here today, to join, in love, these two beautiful women. Dawn and Kate, in the time you have been together your love and understanding of one another has grown and blossomed. You are here today to solemnly vow, in front of your family and friends, to love one another completely and without condition; to share in life’s happiness and sorrow; and to build your lives together in love, trust, honour and understanding.”



The sincere, friendly, middle-aged woman continued with the opening readings of the service, the parental blessings and the presenting of the brides.



“Who has the rings?” The officiator smiled at Ryan, who stepped forward with great importance and held the cushion out carefully.

“I understand you have written your own vows?” Following a small nod of agreement, one of the two-colour gold, diamond set rings was passed delicately to Dawn.

“Would you like to go first?”



Dawn gently took the ring and held it at the end of Kate’s wedding finger. Looking directly into her love’s stunning grey eyes, with a heart warming smile lighting up her face, Dawn proceeded to speak her heart.



“Kate, from the first moment I saw you I knew that I would love you for the rest of my life. Every morning I wake up in your arms and I know that I’m the luckiest woman on Earth. Every morning I open my eyes to see your beautiful smiling face and you take my breath away. Your love helps to make me be the best that I can be and having you in my life is the best thing that has and ever will happen to me. Today, I want to promise you that I will spend every moment of the rest of my life loving you and making you happy and proud. My heart and the very best parts of who I am, belong to you, from this day forward.”



The ring was slid delicately onto Kate’s finger and Dawn lifted her partner’s slender hand to her lips in order to seal the ring’s promise with a loving kiss.



Kate took the second ring without shifting her gaze away from Dawn.



“My sweet Dawnie, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about exactly what I want to say to you here today, then it occurred to me that there are no words to tell you how much you mean to me and how much I love you. When you put your arms around me; when you look at me and your eyes sparkle; when I feel that warm, butterfly feeling in the pit of my stomach just from thinking about you – I know that what we have is real and honest. Dawn Summers, you have taught me what true love is and right now, in this moment, in front of all these people, I promise to love and care for you, for the rest of our lives.”



The ring was gently pushed fully onto Dawn’s finger and their marriage was made official.



“Forasmuch as these two women, Dawn and Kate, have stood before a gathering of their kindred and friends to exchange rings and speak their vows of union, then I have the privilege and honour to announce what they have made real - they are united. Let all persons honour the threshold of their home. Dawn, Kate, I wish you the best of luck in your lives together, you may now kiss.”



With the go ahead granted Dawn and Kate eagerly leaned in to share their first sweet, passionate kiss as an officially married couple.

AWWW!! That was so great! I'm going to cry now! I'm a sucker for weddings. And what's this? I see the next one will be Willow and Tara?! OOO wouldn't that be wonderful?!?! Can't wait for more!

"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die...it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive"

[Irene73]

Girl,

You have managed to make my cry like a bumbling idiot.



That was the most beautiful, heartwarming wedding, I have ever attended.



Most weddings people go to are all about how far the bride and groom went in trying to impress their guests with the "Dollar" value of the ceremony instead of the "Loving, Committment" part, which is what it is really supposed to be about. The more intimate the wedding, the more it signifies that 2 people are there to announce to the whole world that they are committing themselves to one another, for the rest of their lives and that to me is more important than what designer designed your wedding dress. More celebrities should have simple, intimate weddings...perhaps their marriages will last longer.



AND SO ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE MANAGED TO IMPRESS THE HECK OUT OF ME WITH A WONDERFULLY WRITTEN UPDATE...KUDDOS



See what an education can do?



Now I really CANNOT wait for Willow and Tara's wedding...OMG!!! If I cried at this one...TISSUES PLEASE...TWO BOXES!!!



Now...Christmas came and went and I got most of the gifts I asked for...most...but for one...*clears throat, ahem*...cameo appearance in fic, ring any bells? My birthday was last month on the 13th and I figured...actually prayed...that perhaps I might be included...but alas I wasn't.



SO IN CONCLUSION...a very important wedding is coming up...Willow and Tara's...and I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, St. Valentines will grant me an invitation to the ceremony of all ceremonies...perhaps I could be a distant cousin...or the limo driver (the one on their way to their honeymoon perferably)...or perhaps the maid of their honeymoon suite...



You make the decision...



I'm happy to be back...last month was pretty bad...that's why I haven't left any feedbac. My computer went kabloowee and worst of all my father in law passed away...I miss him...he was a gentle soul and best of all he gave me my soulmate, my life.



But I got my computer fixed, were coping with our loss supportting one another, remembering wonderful times, and understanding that his suffering in this physical world is now over. I'm sure he's giving God a good laugh!



Awaiting updatey goodness,

Irene



Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

Awww.. I don'T cry at weddings, but this one sure was moving!!



So sweet.. you wrote it really well.



I liked the part where Will and Tara looked at each others, knowing they'll be the next to get married

[kindagay]

Hello



I'm glad you all enjoyed the wedding, now if you'd like to make your way through to the reception....



This is my special Valentine's gift to all of you lovely kittens (& I even put some nice W/T smut in it too )

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

_____________________________________________________________________________



“I don’t wanna be in more pictures, Mama I’m hungry.” Ryan was finding this particular part of his pageboy duties to be extremely boring, and the insistent rumbling in his tummy wasn’t helping matters.

“Just a few more Ry, I promise. Go stand with Jules and Lydie for a minute sweetie.”



The little boy was currently curled up under a wrought iron patio table in the gardens of the hotel where the photographs were being taken. Anya was desperately trying to coax him out.



“But it’s boring.”

“Ryan, just two minutes, and then it’ll be time for lunch.”

“One. Two. That’s two minutes Mama.”

“That was two seconds sweetie.”



As the photographer glared impatiently at Anya her patience gave out, she crawled underneath the table and dragged her son out kicking and screaming.



“No. NO! Mama stop it, I don’t wanna. Put me down. Daddy help!”



Anya thrust Ryan into Xander’s arms and the little boy sobbed quietly into his father’s shoulder.



“Shh, it’s okay Ry, just one more picture then we’re all finished okay? Dry your eyes little man, you can’t have red, puffy eyes in Aunt Dawn and Auntie Kate’s pictures.” Xander pulled a tissue out of his pocket and wiped the tears from his son’s eyes.

“Do I look han-sum now?” The little boy asked softly, nibbling tentatively at his bottom lip.

“Yep, you sure do kiddo. Are you gonna stand with your cousins now?”

“Okay.”



The rest of the photos were taken quickly and everyone moved back inside ready for their meal.



Dawn, Kate, Buffy, Giles and Kate’s parents sat at the long main table that stretched along the back wall of the dining hall. Willow, Tara, Xander, Anya and the children sat around a large round table located between the main table and the French doors to the gardens. There were several other round tables in the room, which were occupied by a few members of Kate’s family and some of Dawn and Kate’s close friends.



When everyone had finished their three course meal and were contentedly enjoying glasses of wine (and juice for the children), Giles gently tapped the side of his wine glass and stood to make his speech.



“I’d just like to say a few words, I know it’s the tradition to recall embarrassing tales from the bride’s past, but I think I’ll leave that for someone else. When I was asked to fill the role of father of the bride and give Dawn away today, it was the proudest moment of my life. I have know Dawn for almost thirteen years, since she was just ten years old, and in that time I have watched her grow into the beautiful, intelligent, compassionate woman you see today. I was very close to Dawn and Buffy’s mother, who I am sure, is looking down on her daughter today content in the knowledge that her life will forever be filled with the love she so graciously deserves. On behalf of Joyce and all of Dawn’s family I would like to welcome Kate into our fold. Dawn, Kate, I wish you a lifetime of happiness. To the happy couple.”



The guests raised their glasses and sang out a toast to the happy couple and Giles reclaimed his seat.



Several other speeches followed, including a particularly embarrassing one from Xander (which, at some points was rather unsuitable for the children’s little ears) and a rather moving one from Kate’s father which had almost everyone in tears.



Finally, and much to Dawn’s surprise, Kate stood and called for everyone’s attention.



“I know that the bride doesn’t usually make a speech, but, well, there’s no groom to make one and I just want to share a little story with you all. Just over three years ago, at a Halloween dorm party, Dawn walked over to me, dressed in a black Lycra cat suit, which you looked very sexy in by the way, and told me that I was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life, and then she vanished for the rest of the night. A week later, Dawn sat next to me in a criminal law lecture and spent the full hour writing little notes to me.” Kate rummaged around in a small velvet purse and pulled out some rainbow coloured note paper. “Now, I can’t share all of the notes, because some of them were most definitely of an NC-17 variety, but, there’s one that I’d like to read to you all today.” Kate proceeded to read the three year old love note. “I saw you checking me out at the Halloween party, or at least I hope you were; ‘cos if you tell me that you were actually just stood around waiting for your boyfriend to turn up and take you away from the crazy women in the cat suit, my little kitty heart will be shattered into pieces. And you don’t want to be responsible for breaking a kitty’s little heart do you?” Kate smiled as she recalled the nervous smile on Dawn’s face as she had passed her that note so long ago. “Now, at the time I thought that Dawn was a babbling nut, but then I met Willow and found out that she was Dawn’s main confidante, and suddenly it all made sense. I believe I have you to thank for most of these notes Will.”



“Happy to have helped.” Willow chimed in, grinning at Dawn and Kate.

“Although I really hope you had nothing to do with the more, intimate ones?”

“No, I wrote those all on my own honey.” Dawn assured her wife proudly.

“That’s good to hear sweetheart. In that case, Buffy your baby sister is so not as sweet and innocent as you’d like to think.”

“Oh yes she is.” The slayer insisted, much to everyone’s amusement. Well, everyone except Giles, who was busy cleaning his glasses.



“Anyway, after almost two weeks of sending me notes in class, Dawnie finally asked me out on an actual date. The date was, well, to say it was a complete disaster would be an understatement and, long story short, we ended up spending six hours in the ER. Although, I must say, it was the most fun broken ankle I’ve ever had. Now, riddled with guilt over my poor broken leg, Dawn decided to play nurse maid to me. And Xander, the image in your head may have occurred a few times over the years, but please stop imagining it now before Anya, Dawn, myself and Buffy all try to kill you.”



Everyone’s eyes turned to an embarrassed looking Xander just as Anya gave a sharp jab to the top of his arm.

“Sorry.” He muttered sheepishly.



“When Thanksgiving came, Dawn drove me home on her way back here and four days after Christmas she drove back to my parent’s house told me that she couldn’t stop thinking about me; that she missed me more than her poor little kitty heart could handle and that she loved me completely and eternally. Then she kissed me, and the rest, as they say, is history.”



As Kate finished her speech she turned to her wife and placed a soft, sweet, lingering kiss on Dawn’s lips.



The speeches, and indeed the reception, ended with coffee, tea and after dinner mints, and some thank you gifts for the bridal party. Silver, heart pendants for Buffy, Willow and Kate’s mom; silver cufflinks for Giles and Kate’s father; little gold signet rings for Lydia and Jules; and a big boy’s watch for Ryan.



At around four in the afternoon the guests filtered out of the dining area; some moved to their hotel rooms, other’s headed for home so that they could change into less formal clothing for the night-time festivities.



----------------------------------



“Jules and Lydie refused to change out of their bridesmaid’s dresses. I have a horrible feeling that I’m gonna have to cut them out of those dresses while they’re asleep.” Willow giggled as she kicked off her white shoes.

“Where are they?” Tara enquired as she watched her lover in the mirror of the dressing table.

“They dragged Buffy and Xander off exploring, they want to try and solve the giant maze in the gardens.”

“So they should be occupied for oh, at least an hour?” The blonde asked with a playful glint in her eyes.

“Oh at least, maybe even an hour and a half.” Willow smiled knowing exactly where the conversation was heading.

“Whatever are we going to do with all that time?” Tara stalked slowly towards the bed, unbuttoning her white blouse, revealing her smooth, milky skin to her practically drooling lover.

“You want me to help you out of those clothes baby?”

“No my darling, I just want you to watch.”



Willow let out an audible gulp as Tara proceeded to perform a slow, sensual striptease just for her.

The blonde’s hips swayed in a hypnotic dance as she delicately and teasingly removed every item of her clothing.



“Lie back sweetie.” The blonde whispered huskily in her lover’s ear, her warm breath delighting the redhead’s senses as she leant her body in close to Willow’s, gently forcing her down onto the bed.

“You are so hot.” Willow breathed quietly.

“I can’t help it; you look so sexy in that dress.” Tara rubbed her naked body up against the soft silk of Willow’s dress. “You wouldn’t believe how wet I am for you right now. I’ve been watching you all day. Watching the way this dress hugs every curve of your beautiful, perfect body and it’s taken every ounce of strength I have not to pounce on you and have my wicked way with you.”

“There’s nothing stopping you now baby. It’s just us, all alone. You can pounce all you like.”

“Oh, I intend to. But first, I need to see the treasures that this dress has been hiding away from me all day. Turn over honey.”



Tara moved to allow Willow to roll onto her stomach then she swiftly straddled the redhead’s ass, grinding her moist centre against the smooth silk dress. She gently took the zip between her teeth and slowly eased it down. The redhead’s back was then slowly showered with tiny, hot kisses, like gentle summer rain beating down on her naked flesh.



“Your skin tastes so sweet, I want to taste every inch of you.” Tara informed Willow as she lifted red hair to nibble and kiss the back of her soul mate’s neck.



Nimble fingers pushed the straps of Willow’s dress off her shoulders and down lightly freckled arms.

Tara lifted herself slowly off Willow’s body and slid the lavender silk down the redhead’s body.



“Let me see my treasure.” The blonde demanded softly as she raked her eye’s over her lover’s body.



Willow sat up and removed her bra and panties then she lay on her back, allowing Tara to see all that she desired.



“You look delicious.” The blonde appraised as she slowly crawled beneath her redhead’s legs. “Do you taste delicious? I’ll bet you do. These sweet, pert breasts look especially yummy. May I taste them sweetheart?”

“Oh yes, please darling. Taste them, they’re all yours.”



Tara leaned in slowly, subconsciously twirling her tongue around her lips in anticipation of the sweet, hard nipple that would soon be captured by her eager mouth.



Willow moaned as Tara’s expert tongue came into contact with her left nipple. The blonde flicked her warm tongue over and over the dark, pink nub, causing Willow to writhe in sweet, agonizing pleasure beneath her. Tara moved her attention to the redhead’s right breast; the tip of her tongue sending wonderfully torturous vibrations from Willow’s nipple all the way down to her throbbing core.



The hard, rhythmic flicks soon slowed and became long, sensuous licks of the dusky peaks. The blonde took her time to suckle, nibble and devour her love’s breasts, slowly driving the smaller woman crazy.



“Tara baby… need you… please.” Willow begged breathlessly, completely at her lover’s mercy.

“You need me darling? Where do you need me?”

“Inside me. Please. Deep inside me.”



Not one to deny her sweetheart anything, Tara slowly raked her fingers down Willow’s body, stroking them through damp, red curls and slowly, teasingly sliding two long, expert fingers inside her lover’s warm, dripping centre.



“Oh yesssss.” Willow breathed as she felt her angel’s fingers filling her so completely.



Within seconds Willow’s own fingers were buried between soft, golden curls and the two women were moving in perfect synchronicity, enticing one another to the very edge of climatic bliss.



Their movement’s increased. Fingers thrusting harder and faster; eyes locked, sharing wordless declarations of love and desire.

Then all movement stopped for the briefest moment before their bodies roared and trembled together in sweet, blissful ecstasy.



With the little strength they had left Willow and Tara curled up safely together, pulled a thin cotton sheet over themselves, and contentedly drifted into a peaceful slumber.

Yep, much fun at the reception, and I have a feeling that you'll REALLY enjoy the end of the next update





DreamLover: Aww, thanks for the sweet feedback. I'm really glad you felt the wedding was perfect - I tried my best

I hope my RL calms down soon too, but I have a feeling I'll get buried down with more work over the next few months -but, I'm trying hard to fit fic writing time in.





stillrunning: Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'm definitely a sucker for weddings too - they're so pretty & romantic

Yep, Willow & Tara's wedding soon - but that has to be WAY more romantic than Dawn & Kate's, so it might take me longer to write - but, you can wait right?





Irene: Aww, a bumbling idiot? Was it really that good? Well, if you think that one was good - just wait for Willow & Tara's wedding

I completely agree with your thoughts on what a wedding should be



Now, I must beg for your forgiveness. I am so sorry that I haven't written you in to my fic yet - I promise I will, & you'll have a really good part too. I just need to figure out what the part will be, okay?



I'm very sorry to hear about your father in law - you & your family are in my thoughts.





xonethousandtears08x: Yep, little Dawnie's all grown up

Thanks for the feedback





Willster: I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding & thanks for saying that I wrote it well

Yeah, the Willow/Tara moment was pretty sweet wasn't it?





Okay sweet kittens, the extra long update will be posted for you in a few brief moments.



Hugs

Jeanne

“But it’s boring.”

“Ryan, just two minutes, and then it’ll be time for lunch.”

“One. Two. That’s two minutes Mama.”

“That was two seconds sweetie.”



that is sooo what kids do... If I could count the times that that very situation has happened to me....we lets just say that I would need a lot more than 10 fingers and 10 toes to get the job done.



I loved the whole reception scene, it was very sweet and very real.



okay....now lets talk about the happy valentines day smut scene. Mmmm....nipples.... and pert nipples at that.... well done Jeanne... cause with the nipples...

Is it me, or is it always this hot in here?



Anyways that was a awesome update. It's been a while but it was great.



Kudos to you

[Tempest Duer]

Uh... the wedding was very sweet and romantic but for some reason that's not what I'm really thinking about now...

I got bitten by a drunk lesbian! Does that mean I'll turn into one?

[TaraBaby77]

HOLY SHEEP!!!! . This has been one of the most enjoyable, funny, sad, all around GREAT, fics I have read in a while. And that wedding at the end was simply amazing. The vows that Dawn and Kate gave were very touching. Anyhoo, loved it and CAN'T wait to see an update... Great work!!! =)

Hello all you lovely kittens ,



My how I've missed you all - I feel like I've been away for ages & it's actually only been like 2 weeks or something. RL sucks sometimes



Okay sweet kitties, I have essays & projects to type & a presentation to prepare for uni. So, I sat at my computer, like a good little student, fully intending to at least make a start on one of my essays... but the temptation to write an update was too strong & I could no longer resist the offer of escape to the wonderful world of Willow & Tara fic

just, don't tell anyone okay?



So yes, I have an update ready for you, & it's nice & long, & there's a little surprise at the end of it....



But, you're gonna have to wait for a little while longer, 'cos I need to say some thank you's to all the wonderful, beautiful kittens who left me feedback.





Emms: Yeah, kiddies do tend to do the whole "One. Two. That's two minutes." thing a lot, don't they? My nieces do it all the time

I'm very glad that you enjoyed the reception scene - I wasn't completely happy with the way it turned out, but, your seal of approval makes me feel lots better about it

& I'm also happy that you enjoyed the happy valentines day nipples... uhm, I mean smut .... No actually, I mean nipples





veiled isis moon: Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm glad you feel that I write the characters well

& I'm glad you enjoyed the smut too





stillrunning: I'm glad you loved the story of Dawn's little 'Willowesque' notes

& thanks for saying that the smut was great





Henny: Hey there , no worries about the lateness - you got here in the end, that's all that matters

I'm very glad you enjoyed the last update & yep, I try to always keep my promises

I'm guessing you've had time to recover from the last update by now? I certainly hope so anyway

Oh, & thanks for the bouncy guys - they make me





xonethousandtears08x: Uhm, well, it's not always quite that hot in here - but there are definitely quite a few hot moments I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the feedback - sorry the updates are taking a while.





Reds: Hey how ya doing?

I'm glad you enjoyed Kate's speech - she spent a lot of time on it

Wow, two different kinds of melting? I hope you've recovered now?

I'm glad the smut met your (& I assume Smutty's ) approval





Tempest Duer: Now, I can't think why you might have not been thinking about the wedding? Surely not 'cos of the Willow/Tara smut?

I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding, & the smut





TaraBaby77: Hello & a very warm welcome to my fic

Thank you so much for your wonderfully sweet words - I'm touched

I'm very glad that you enjoyed the wedding & the update is coming very soon





Okay sweet kitties, please stay tuned for chapter 28 - which will be appearing right below this very post in a matter of minutes.



Hugs

Jeanne

[kindagay]

Hi all



Okay, as promised - nice long update, with much Willow/Tara sweetness & a little surprise at the end.....



_____________________________________________________________________________



“Could you two please get a room? There is a baby watching you know.”



Willow reluctantly pulled away from a rather heated make-out session with Tara and glared at her best friend, who was holding a gurgling Alicia on her lap.



“What is this song?”



Having realised that she’d never heard the currently playing song before, and to hide her slight embarrassment, Tara decided to quickly change the subject.



“It’s their song.” Willow gestured unenthusiastically to the happy couple, desperate to resume the kissing, despite Buffy’s objections.



“But, what is it? And do they know that it’s awful? I mean, this guy sounds depressed.”

“It’s George Haskell, or uhm, maybe Gordon Haskell, I don’t remember which.”

“Gordon.” Buffy piped up, rescuing her necklace from her youngest niece’s chubby fingers.

“Yeah, anyway, apparently this is the song that was playing when Dawn told Kate that she loves her.”

“How… depressing.”

“I always say that she should have waited for a more jolly song to start.” The slayer informed the wiccans.

“Oh yeah, that would have gone down well. ‘Kate, I need to tell you something, but in three years time we’re gonna be dancing at our wedding to the song that’s playing while I say it, so, do you mind if I wait for a better song than this?’.”



Tara giggled at her lover’s impersonation of what, according to Buffy, Dawn should have requested.



“What song was playing when you told Tara that you love her?” The slayer asked cheerily.

“Which time?”

“The first time.”

“But, the first first time, or the second first time?”

“Oh right, I keep forgetting that you guys have had two firsts of everything. Okay, so the first first time then?”

“Hmm, oh, there wasn’t any music the first first time. It was when Faith switched your bodies. Uhm, we were uhm... Oh, the spell, of course, that was it, it was after the spell to connect to the nether realms.” The slayer’s brow creased in puzzlement as a light blush flushed Willow’s cheeks. “We were all snuggly on the bed with just the fairy lights and a few candles lighting the room. And we were just, listening to one another breathe, and Tara was running her fingers through my hair and everything was so wonderful and perfect, and I looked up and I told her how much I love her.”



“That’s beautiful.”

“Yeah, it was.” Tara smiled adoringly at Willow and pressed a soft, lingering kiss to the redhead’s sweet lips.



“So, how about the second first time? What song was playing then?”

“The second first time, uhm, I think Tara said it first, and we were listening to…”

“Alison Krauss.” The blonde offered, prompting her lover’s memory.

“Oh yeah, I remember now, it was uhm, Looking in the Eyes of Love.”



At that moment Lydia ran up to her mother, her bottom lip jutted out in a tiny pout.



“Mommy, Ryan won’t dance with me, he just keeps running around and crawling under the chairs.”

“Well, that’s what little boys do Lydie, why don’t you dance with Uncle Xander?”

“He can’t dance.” Lydia deadpanned, her face serious.

“True. Well, where’s Jules, won’t she dance with you?”

“She keeps following Auntie Kate’s little cousin around everywhere he goes.”

“Which cousin?” Willow enquired curiously.

“Uhm…” Lydia scanned the room on the lookout for her sister. “…there.” She slowly extended her arm to point out a small, dark-haired boy who looked to be about ten years old. An obviously love-struck Julia was close behind him, grinning up at the boy shyly.



“Oh god, Jules has a crush, on an older man. He’s twice her age for goodness sake and nowhere near good enough for my princess. Just look at him, he’s not even paying her the slightest bit of interest. I mean, would it really kill him to turn around and at least look at her? And I don’t like the look of him one little bit, he looks like he doesn’t like school. I’ll bet he doesn’t like school, or math, or even reading. He’s probably never picked up a book in his life, the last thing he read was probably some silly little comic, and he’ll have only looked at the pictures. I wouldn’t be surprised if he can’t read, yeah, that sounds right, he’s illiterate, and, and he’s been held back at school, probably still in the first grade or something.”



“Willow, sweetie, calm down.” Tara placed her hands on Willow’s shoulders, her finger tips rubbing soothing circles over the redhead’s shoulder blades. “Just breathe baby, it’s okay. No need to get all worked up, it’s just a little crush.”



“Jeez Will, give the poor kid a break. You’ve not even talked to him and you’ve already decided that he’s illiterate and a bit slow.” Buffy rolled her eyes teasingly at Willow’s over-the-top reaction.



“She can’t have a crush, she’s just a baby.” Willow searched for reassurance in her soul mate’s eyes, a frown of motherly over-concern creasing her brow.

“It’s okay sweetheart, it’s just a little crush. She’s still your baby girl; she’ll always be your baby girl.”



“Auntie Buffy? Why is Mommy so upset? I, I thought crushes were good?” Lydia whispered worriedly to her aunt.

“Oh, it’s okay kiddo, Mommy’s just being a big silly billy. She doesn’t want you and Jules growing up too fast; she wants you to be her little girls forever.”



Lydia walked over to her mom, climbed onto her knee and wrapped her arms around Willow’s neck, her fingers tangling in the familiar comfort of her mommy’s soft hair.



“I’m your little girl Mommy, for always. I won’t have a crush on anyone, I promise.”

“It’s okay Lydie, just uhm, wait until you’re eighteen before you start taking an interest in boys okay?”

“Eeewww, boys are smelly and yucko. Girls are lots more pretty-full.”



With a large grin and a quick peck to her mother’s cheek, Lydia jumped from Willow’s lap and ran to the dance floor.



Tara delicately ran her finger-tips under a stunned Willow’s chin, encouraging the redhead’s jaw to snap shut.



“Well, that’s one way to come out to your parents.” Buffy chuckled lightly.



----------------------------------



“How can that child sleep through all this noise?”

“It’s one of the wonderful advantages of being a baby Buff, the ability to fall asleep anywhere.”

“Buffy does have a point though; this isn’t the best place for her to get a good night’s sleep. Maybe we should take her up to Xander and Anya’s room?” Tara suggested caringly.

“But we can’t just, take her up there and leave her, someone has to stay with her. You know, this is really Anya’s responsibility, where is she anyway? Ryan’s struggling to stay awake too.” Willow pointed out as Ryan’s head lolled forwards, almost, but not quite making contact with the table.

“She and Xander vanished together about ten minutes ago.”

“I don’t think I wanna know.”

“Maybe we should take all the kids up and put them to bed, it is ten thirty.”

“I don’t think you’re gonna get those girls of yours away from the dance floor any time soon.” Buffy flicked her thumb towards the centre of the room, where the twins were dancing their little socks off.

“It does seem a shame to drag them away.”



An internal conflict played across Willow’s face as she debated the pros and cons of prising her little girls away from the party, versus leaving them so she could look after her nephew and niece.



“You two take the mini Harris’s and I’ll send Anya and Xander up as soon as they get back.” The slayer offered helpfully.

“Thanks Buffy.” Tara smiled gratefully as she manoeuvred Alicia from her lap into her arms, causing the baby girl to fuss a little from having her sleep disturbed.



----------------------------------



“There you go beautiful, all nice and snuggly in your sweet little ducky PJs. You want a lullaby Alicia? I bet you do, don’t you sweetie?” Tara cooed softly as she cradled a very sleepy Alicia close to her chest and began to hum a soft lullaby.



Willow smiled at Tara, who looked up at her through soulful, loving eyes and returned the tender smile.



The redhead slowly, silently made her way over to her soul mate and tenderly slid her arms around the blonde’s waist, brushing her lips gently against Tara’s shoulder.



“I want to tell everyone.” Willow whispered confidently.

“Not yet sweetie, it’s still too early. Just, wait a few more weeks okay? Can it be just ours for a few more weeks?”

“Of course baby.”



Tara lowered a sleeping Alicia into her crib then leaned back into her love’s embrace.



“You’re gonna be such a wonderful mommy.” The redhead assured, her hands resting protectively against Tara’s stomach.

See? I told you there was a surprise at the end



Okay, I'm going sleepies now (it's very late in the UK) < ---- how cute is the little green guy?
