Now that just sucks- me

[kindagay]

Okay, a looooong update (as promised). A sweet moment between Tara & a teeny redhead, then the Willow/Dawn talk.

Warning - there is angst in this update.



Flashback is in italics & was written in response to something Emms (MissKittys Ball O Yarn) asked in an early piece of feedback. So, thanks to her for setting my creative mind into motion.



Without further ado, I give you - part 13......



_______________________________________________________________________________



Just after 8:00pm Anya and Xander had said their goodbyes and took a very sleepy Ryan home to bed.

Tara had quietly slipped out, unnoticed, and sat herself on the front porch swing. When Jules did notice Tara’s absence, she went to find the blonde and wordlessly curled up with her head in Tara’s lap. They swung gently back and forth, Tara stroking Julia’s hair, Julia sucking her thumb and rubbing the material of Tara’s skirt between her fingers.



“Are you okay baby girl?”

“Just sleepy.” The little redhead yawned. “Are you okay Tara?”

“Yeah. I just, I’m not so good with people that I don’t know well.”

“Neither am I.”

“Yeah, I’d kind of noticed that sweetie.” Tara chuckled, lightly tickling Julia’s neck and eliciting a giggle from the youngster.

Once the gentle tickling and giggling had ceased, Julia’s voice filled the comfortable silence.

“My family is really big, and, everyone has someone. There’s auntie Anya and uncle Xander, auntie Dawn and Kate, Lydia and me, Ryan will have his baby brother or sister soon, and grandpa Giles is always there for aunt Buffy. But mommy, my mommy doesn’t really have anyone, she’s all by herself.” The little girl let out a gentle sigh before continuing with an assured, sincere request. “Tara, I’d like you to be a part of my family. I want you be my mommy’s someone. Please?

“Oh Jules, sweetheart, I’m already your mommy’s someone, I always have been.”

“Good.” Julia nodded contentedly and was soon asleep in Tara’s safe embrace.



Lydia had joined Dawn, Kate and Buffy on the couch, until Dawn had whispered something to Kate, then disappeared to join Willow on the back porch.



“I’d offer a penny for your thoughts but, the amount of thoughts that go on in your head at once, I’m afraid I’d run out of pennies.” Dawn joked with the redheaded woman who, over the past few years, had become her most treasured friend.

“Hey Dawnie. You finally felt comfortable enough to leave Kate alone with people?”

“Oh, there’s just Buffy and Lydia in there, I think she’ll be safe.”

“I don’t know, Lydie might babble her to death.” Willow laughed softly. “Where’s Jules and Tara?”

“Front porch I think. Tara’s great with the kids.”

“Yeah she is, she adores them both already.”

“Well that doesn’t surprise me; those girls can capture anyone’s heart in seconds. They’ve already got Kate under their spell.”

“She’s a great girl Dawn, definitely good enough for the littlest Summers girl.”

“Thanks, that means a lot. So, how about Tara? What’s the what with you two?”

“Ah, so that’s why you came out here is it? You want all the gossip?”

“Well, is there gossip to be had?” Dawn grinned and waggled her eyebrows suggestively.

“Not the kind you mean.” Willow jokingly admonishing the direction that Dawn’s questioning had been heading. “We’re taking things slow, it’s been a long time and there’s the twins to consider too.”

“That makes sense. You love her though, don’t you?”

“I always have Dawnie.”

“Does she know?”

“Yes.”

“Does she love you?”

“Yes.”



A short silence followed as both women pondered this information. Telling someone else had somehow made it more real for Willow, and now her mind was full of even more thoughts.



“Willow, can I ask you something?” The redhead’s busy mind was halted by Dawn’s tentative enquiry.

“Of course sweetie.”

“I know it was a long time ago, but, nobody really explained what happened between you and Tara before. I was trying to explain it to Kate and I realised, there’s a lot of holes in the story I was told.”

“You wanna know what happened?”

“No, I wanna understand why it happened. Why did you choose Oz?”

“Oh, okay you missed the first act this morning; I guess I can give you a repeat performance.”

“Huh?”

“I had pretty much the same conversation with Tara and the girls over breakfast today.”

“And what did you tell them?”

“I was scared, back then, back when the decision had to be made. I was scared. Scared of what people might think, but mostly scared of what Oz might do. He lost control; he wolfed out and almost attacked Tara when he figured out that she and I were together. I didn’t want to imagine what he might do if I chose Tara. If he’d wolfed out and hurt someone because of me, because I’d hurt him, I couldn’t have lived with myself. So I chose him. I knew it was wrong, I knew that Tara was the one I should have been with, but, I was too scared.” Tears had sprung to Willow’s eyes as she explained herself, re-living the biggest mistake she had ever made.

“If you knew you were meant to be with her, why didn’t you find her? After Oz left, or even before that, why didn’t you find her and tell her how you felt?”

“I tried to…



…8 years ago…



It had been two long, dark, heart-wrenching weeks since that day. The day Tara’s heart had been torn in two. Both girls had been busy (or pretending to be busy) and had had no contact, but they both knew that this moment, this precise moment, would eventually happen.



“Tara, hey.” The redhead spoke softly, her voice nervous and uncertain. The blonde only nodded, not trusting herself to mutter even a simple ‘hi’ without breaking down.

“Can, can we talk? Please. I, I miss you.” She wanted to say so much, wanted to tell Tara that she’d made a terrible mistake, that she was sorry. Wanted to beg the blonde for forgiveness and a second chance.

But how could she? She didn’t have the right, not now. She’d given that up.

“I, I c-can’t, not, not y-yet. Just… I-I n-need to, to…” She tried to explain, to ask for a little more time to tend to her pain before they had ‘the talk’, but her courage failed her, she couldn’t stand being so close to Willow and feeling so far away from her.

She ran.

With her books pressed firmly against her chest and her head lowered to hide the tears pouring down her face, she ran from the woman she used to turn to for support and comfort.



Willow stood in the middle of the common room and forced herself to watch Tara go. Forced herself to see how much she had hurt the blonde. She spent the rest of the day curled up in her dorm room sobbing anguished tears of regret and guilt.



Three weeks later, Tara’s heart still ached, but she could say the redhead’s name without crying so she decided that now was the right time. The time for the ill-fated ‘talk’.

She left a message on Willow’s answer machine, asking the redhead to meet her at the espresso pump.



It was with great trepidation that the girls approached the coffee shop that day. But they both arrived, and stayed, and talked.

They got coffees then sat in a corner booth; both girls remained silent until their drinks were almost gone. The silence slowly became louder, more deafening, until Willow could stand it no longer.



“Tara, I’m so sorry I hurt you and I know that I don’t deserve… I won’t ever deserve your forgiveness…”

“I, I f-forgive y-you.” It was the smallest whisper, practically silent, but Willow’s words stopped as she looked, amazed and dumbfounded by this incredible woman that she’d been stupid enough to let go.

“Please don’t. How, how can you forgive me? I can’t even forgive myself.” Tears sprang to the redhead’s eyes as she tried to understand Tara’s powerful words.

“I, I l-love you.” Tara explained, and it was as simple as that.



Willow was astounded, the blonde had spoken a total of six gentle, meaningful words, and every thought and emotion Willow had experienced in the past five weeks were spinning around her mind at high speed. She didn’t know anything anymore, nothing made sense. These six words; these six, simple, heartfelt, honest words, they were not what she had been expecting to hear. They were the last things she was expecting to hear.

Now what should she do? She wasn’t prepared for this eventuality.

Anger, pain, tears, guilt, punishment. She was prepared for these.

But kindness? Forgiveness? Love? She was at a loss. How could she react without causing the blonde more pain?



“W-willow, I, I n-need to uhm, to tell you… No, I n-n-need to ask you s-something.”

Shaken out of her confused state by Tara’s voice Willow could only reply with a simple and genuine

“Of course. Anything.”

“I, I n-need, I need to, to n-not be n-near you. I, I thought I c-could b-b-be your f-friend, b-but, I, I c-can’t b-be near you a-and not h-hold you.” Tears rolled unchecked down Tara’s cheeks. “I, I c-can’t not tell y-you that I l-love you, I c-can’t not s-sleep next to you. A-and I, I c-can’t see you w-with, with O-o-oz. I-it’s t-too hard, i-it all h-hurts t-t-too much. I-I’m s-sorry, but, I, I n-need s-space, I need you to, to w-walk a-away from m-me, b-because I-I’m n-not ready t-to w-walk away f-from y-y-you.”

Both girls were sobbing their hearts out, neither caring about the other patrons in the coffee shop.

Willow couldn’t believe what Tara was requesting of her. Now there was no way she could ever ask Tara for a second chance. But, she had to apologise, had to at least try to explain her actions to the blonde.

“Tara please, I…”

“J-just go. Please, d-don’t make th-this harder.” Tara finally raised her head and for the first time in five weeks Willow got a good look at the blonde’s face.



Her deep blue eyes were rimmed with dark circles. They no longer danced and shone with love, but were dulled by so much pain, almost as if she had cried their magical sparkle away. Willow realised that Tara had lost weight, her loose fitting clothes made it virtually unnoticeable, but her too pale, gaunt face made it clear that Tara had not been eating properly recently. She looked so, tired, almost ghostly and Willow’s heart broke all over again at the sight. The redhead didn’t know that she could hate herself as much as she did right at that moment. She didn’t have the right to be anywhere near Tara, not after all she’d done to the blonde.

“I’m so sorry.” Willow whispered, her heart heavy with guilt and shame.

She stood and walked away from the blonde, not even allowing herself one final glance at the broken woman that she had let go.



…Present time…



Both Willow and Dawn were sobbing by the end of Willow’s recalled memories.



“I hurt her so much. I didn’t deserve to have her in my life, didn’t even deserve to breathe the same air as her. I had no right to tell her how I felt.”

“And now?”

“Now? Now eight years have passed. That twinkle’s back in Tara’s eyes; she’s happy again. Whatever pain I caused her, it’s all in the past. We love each other so much, and, we have a second chance, a chance to make everything right. Tara and I belong together, we both knew that right from the very start, and it might have taken a little longer than it should have, but, we’re back on track now.”

Wohaa that was indeed a sad story...good that they met again after 8 years, otherwise they would have never met, called or done anything else, no? Lydia is the lil Cupid



The "love" between Tara and Jules is amazing, they do know each other for such a short time, but u already see their bonding!

[VixenyTarasHot]

Ok, well first off, yay for the longness and presentness of the update... did that make sense? No you say? Owell, it did to me ) Anyways, it was very angsty, but a nice little twang to the story, so I enjoyed it cuz I know they'll be ok now, right?! They better be! *shakes fist* So.. yeah, wahoo, and I'm waiting patiently for the next update!

*jumping up and down* My scene! My scene! *crying tears into my tea* My scene.... my scene...

I nearly cried my Flintstones chew-able right out of my mouth (grape flavored) actually....purple...I'm not sure if that's grape or not...they all kinda taste the same..



anyway...I loved the update. I'm sorry i didn't get a chance to leave feedback regarding the update before this one...I should be punished accordingly but I have valid excuses.... My hamster was sick... I ate too many tomatoes.... There...was...a spider....and I was traumatized by its hairiness...



But seriously...I loved Buffy's speech...and Dawn and her fiance are too cute...

you know... out of all the Buffy characters that people try to make gay in their fics, dawn actually makes the most sense... I mean... she always did have an unusual preoccupation with willow and Tara's relationship (in a good way).... all Im saying is.... she seemed to be paying way too much attention...to the...gayness...not to have turned out ...gay..









cant wait for the next update!

[shuyaku]

You know for someone that doesn't really do angst - that was pretty angsty. Poor Tara. But it makes perfect sense for her to have reacted that way. I always did hate the "but we can be friends" BS. Not that it can't happen, but in this situation it hardly seems plausible.



Great update!

wow. that's it. wow. the emotion displayed in that particular flash back piece was devastatingly painful. very descriptive. i was picturing it in my head as i read it, and just the thought of what they both had to be feeling .. your writing really reaches in deeply and creates outstanding imagery.



you have a gift, and a talent for writing. to be able to express another's strongest emotions so carnally and into character is a wonderful thing. keep it up. <333 kristi

[kindagay]

Hello dear, sweet kittens,



I want to start by apologising for making a lot of you cry.

Huge hugs for you all & here's Kevin bouncing about & looking cute just to cheer you up.



& now I need to tell you all that your heartfelt feedback for the last update touched me probably as deeply as the flashback appears to have touched you all. Thank you so, so much for your wonderful words - I can't begin to describe how much they mean to me.



Irishgrl3: I'm glad you felt the last update was well written - I don't usually write angst but the flashback seemed to write itself really.

The Tara/Julia conversation was rather sweet wasn't it? - Glad you liked it



SoL: Lydia is indeed a little cupid. Willow & Tara had to find each other again eventually - they were made for each other after all

I'm glad you like how I'm developing the relationship between Tara & Julia.



RaVeN: Your kind words mean more to me than you could ever imagine - Thank you



RedSun cl: I'm sorry for making you cry, especially in a public place.

Thank you so much for your sweet words & you are very welcome



Wimpy: *extends tissue box in Wimpy's direction*

Thank you so much for saying that the flashback was beautiful - that means so very much to me.

Yes, now they can move on & have many, many years of happiness together - as it should be



Arwen: Those tissues certainly did the rounds didn't they? Sorry about the sadness - but yes, now we move on & have happy times



WickedReds: Aww, poor Smutty, & poor you too - sorry for making you both sad. I hope the next update cheers you up & makes Smutty wants to dance again - Kevin was missing him.

Thank you for your kind words about the flashback.



Shy One: Aww, are you feeling better now? Sorry for making you cry. There's a happy update coming up soon okay?



VixenyTarasHot:

Actually, yes that did make sense.

Of course they'll be okay now. I'm gonna take extra special care of them after all of the angst of their pasts.



Emms: Okay, 1st off - You're so sweet posting to tell me that you're gonna try posting again later.

Yep, that was 'your' scene - glad you liked it. I'm sorry for making you almost cry your Flintstone chew-able out.



Hmm, okay, they were all rather convincing & reasonable excuses - You're forgiven for not leaving feedback, just, don't do it again



Glad you liked Buffy's speech. Dawn & Kate are rather cute together aren't they? & I agree - Dawn being gay does make a lot of sense.



Sam: Thank you for the sweet words. Glad you liked it.



Shuyaku: It was pretty angsty wasn't it? I blame Emms - She planted the seed in my mind & the flashback just begged to be written. And of course, when you're dealing with something like that, you can't avoid angst.

I never bought into the "we can be friends" thing either. There's far too much emotion between Willow & Tara for them to ever be 'just friends'.



Willowhanded: *Tries to find words to explain how much your words mean to me*

Your feedback left me speechless & overwhelmed. I had to read it 5 times before it sank in that you were talking about MY fic.

I must admit, I made myself cry as I was writing the flashback. Just the image of Tara all hurt & broken made my heart ache - it was so difficult for me to write & I'm glad that you feel I expressed the emotions so well. Your words made making my heart hurt worthwhile - Thank you so much



Okay beautiful kittens, the next update will be happy (I promise) & will be posted soon



Hugs

Jeanne

_____________________________________________________________________________



“You know, you’re gonna have to stop putting sleeping spells on my daughters. I mean, last night with Lydia I understand, it was probably the only way you could get her to stop babbling at you, but Jules? She’s never babbled in her life; she can’t have been bugging you that much?”

Following her conversation with Dawn, Willow had walked out to the front porch. Faced, for the second time in two nights, with the image of Tara cradling one of her sleeping children, Willow couldn’t resist the gentle tease.

“Actually, I think it’s just me. I bore them to sleep.” Tara giggled softly, comfortably joining in the joke.

“Ah, so that’s the secret is it? I’ll have to remember that one. Lydie’s asleep too, you ready to head off?”

“Oh, yeah sure.”

“Can you help me load the kids into the car?”

“No problem.”



The twins were gently strapped into the back of Willow’s car; Tara and Willow said their goodbyes; then they made their way back to Willow’s house.



Taking a twin each Willow and Tara managed to carry Julia and Lydia into the house; change them into their PJs and tuck them in to their beds without waking the little girls.

Standing in the twins’ doorway Willow turned to gaze lovingly at her peacefully sleeping children. She smiled to herself before joining Tara on the landing and quietly pulling the door shut.



“I could never have done that on my own. Neither one of them woke up, not even once.” Willow marvelled at how simple putting the sleeping girls to bed had seemed with Tara’s help.

“W-we do make a pretty good team, don’t we?”

“We certainly do baby.”

“I-it’s getting late I sh-should probably, uhm, head home.”



Tara didn’t want to go home. She didn’t want to be away from Willow. But, they were supposed to be taking things slow. They were supposed to be thinking of the twins; how would they react if she was there for the second morning in a row?



“You don’t have to go.” Willow’s eyes begged the blonde to stay.

“I uhm, I don’t have a-any clean clothes here.”

“Yeah you do, your stuff that got wet yesterday is still here.”

“Y-you’re not gonna make this easy are you?”

“I don’t want you to go. You know it’s not safe to be out at night in Sunnydale. Please Tara, stay.” Willow pleaded with the blonde. She sounded so vulnerable, her voice barely above a whisper.

“W-we’re taking things slow remember? I, I really should… go.” Her actions belied her words as she leaned closer and closer to the woman in front of her.



So close. She could feel Willow’s warm breath, could smell her honey shampoo. ’Honey…?’ the scent triggered a memory from long ago.

“Since when do you use honey shampoo?” A younger version of herself asked.

“Since it reminds me of you.” A teenage Willow answered, flashing her that sweet, adorable Willow-grin.

’She still uses honey shampoo.’ The significance wasn’t lost on the blonde and the thought made her heart leap with joy.



She ached to touch that soft, honey-scented hair; to run her fingers through the red, silk tresses.

Her lips burned to taste the redhead’s warm mouth. Just a little taste, it wouldn’t hurt. Don’t need to leave just yet. Just one kiss, that’s all…



They crashed together; lips meeting and melding. Tongues duelled, softly, yet so urgently. Hands reached out desperately. They clung to one another like lifelines.



Somehow, they ended up pressed against Willow’s bedroom door. Moments later the door was open and clothes were being shed as they backed towards the bed. They fell, as one, onto the bed. Kisses had become heated, frantic; breathing heavy and erratic.



“Wait, Will.” Tara pulled away half-heartedly; darkened sapphire stared deep into lust-filled emerald.

“No, no wait. We’ve been waiting for eight years. Please, let me love you.” The redhead reached up to pull her blonde goddess towards her.



Again they melted into the kisses, quickly becoming carried away. Eight years of wanting, longing, needing, all culminated to this moment of undeniable lust.



Tara once more pulled away from Willow’s persistent actions and gently explained.

“Oh god Willow, I want you. I want you so much right now but w-we can’t. I mean not yet. This, this is l-lust, it’s just sex and I, I w-want to make love with you.”



Following a moment of silence Willow seized Tara in a passionate kiss then nodded in understanding and agreement.



“Can we hold one another? Please Tara, I just need to have you close to me, to feel your skin against mine while we sleep. That’s okay right? There can be, uhm, nakedness?” Her fiery passion now cooled, Willow’s confidence failed her as she spoke with child-like uncertainty.

“Naked snuggles are good.” Tara giggled, reassuring her redhead.

“I love you Tara. I love you so much.” Willow pulled Tara close, holding her tightly. “I won’t let you go. I promise; I’ll never let you go again.”

“You really think I’d let you?” Tara smiled the sexiest smile Willow had ever seen.

“You’d better not missy.” Willow replied with the gentle, yet serious demand.



Subsequent kisses were gentler, sweeter and slower; lust no longer marring their loving embrace.

For the second night of many more to come, Willow and Tara fell asleep right where they belonged. Wrapped in the safety of each others arms.

Awwwww!!!! The honey shampoo...... was perfect, it's just a little thing...but the significance was great. I'm glad Tara didn't give into lust, opting to take it slow (but who could resist naked Willow?...)



Jeanne, once again, you've captured the romance and sweetness in every detail of everything they do... how do you do that?

and the line about.... what was it...? Oh yes when Willow said that thing about eight years of waiting....yes...that line should make history.



Great update Sweetie (I must sound like a broken record)

oh and I'm glad you forgive me for not posting before...

oh also....



<---------I love kevin

maybe they can be friends?

oh wow!



that was amazing, I really liked their teamwork, then the passion, then the romance : prefering to wait to make love and not indulge in simple lust.



MORE!!
