~Part 36~~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Upon arriving, Willow rubbed her sleepy eyes as they were about to land. She looked around and couldn’t believe that she was finally in her destination. Yawning, she looked out the small window and saw the morning clouds roll beneath the plane.
“Miss Rosenberg?” A small girl came up to the red head and smiled.
Willow grinned and nodded at the small child. “Hey there.”
“Hi, my name is Sandy, and my brother wanted to know if he could get an autograph.” The little brunette flashed Willow another toothless smile.
“Sure. Where is your brother?”
“He’s sleeping right now, he’s tired from all the travelling he does.” Sandy said quietly. “His name is David, he’s a lawyer.”
Willow took the pen and paper from Sandy and wrote her name down carefully. “There you go.” She smiled.
“Thank you, I’ll be sure to give it to him when we land.” Sandy went to turn away. “Um, Miss Rosenberg?”
“Yes?”
“May I sit with you while we land?”
Willow’s heart clenched and she nodded silently, holding her hand out to the small girl. “You remind me of my daughter.” She whispered.
Sandy smiled and sat back in her seat, getting ready of the landing.

Hadley was fast asleep in her bed, snuggled tightly against Brady. She managed to sit by the phone for a straight two hours before nodding of to sleep sitting up. Tara carried her daughter to bed, her heart aching knowing Hadley had cried for hours quietly, wearing herself out.
Alone, Tara sat in the living room, sipping on hot tea. Watching as the time went by slowly. Her mind constantly on Willow. The month was going to be so long without the perky red head. Tara sighed and leaned back on the couch, closing her eyes slowly.
“Tara.” A soft whisper came from the hall.
Opening one eye, Tara watched as Tori walked closer to her. “What time is it?”
“The clock is right there.” Tori pointed to the time on the side table, chuckling a bit.
“I know what time it is sweetie.” Tara sighed, letting out a small smirk. “It’s way past your curfew.”
“You’ve been waiting up for me?” Tori rose an eyebrow.
“Believe it or not, I wasn’t. I’m waiting for Willow’s phone call.” Tara stood up slowly, stretching. “Besides, a lecture would help you…you’ll just sneak in some other way.”
“Sorry, I was actually studying at the library and Faith stayed with me because she wanted to do some research on some demon demension.” Tori took a breath.
“Is there trouble afoot?” Tara asked a bit worried.
“Well, Buffy and Faith aren’t sure exactly. But they want to do some research and such first about this particular dimension. Dawn said not to worry about it, Buffy hasn’t panicked yet so it’s all good.”
“Buffy doesn’t panick.” Tara smirked.
Tori thought about it for a second. “Well, she’s not freaking out about not having Willow around for groundings and such, so…I think we’re safe.” Tori kissed Tara softly on the cheek. “I think I should go to bed, I do have school in say oh…” She looked at the clock, “Six hours, night sis.”
“Night sweetie.” Tara watched Tori go to her room. A loud ring made her jump and finally reached to the phone during the second ring. “Hello?”
“Tara…did I wake you?” Willow asked softly.
“No, not at all…how are you baby?” Tara’s heart was racing, relieved that her honey was alright.
“Tired, but okay. I miss you so much…I met this little girl, Sandy, she reminds me so much of Hadley, her big brother turns out to be the guy that ran Jessica’s court case.”
“Jessica had a court case?” Tara asked, a bit amused.
“It’s nothing really, you know how celebrities get sued for things…anyways, I can’t wait for this to be over with.”
“Will, you haven’t even begun anything yet.” Tara snickered softly.
“Leaving my home was the hardest part…I did begin something.” Willow smiled.
“Where are you now?”
“Just outside the airport, I’m waiting for the limo to break through traffic. How are you?”
“Tired but okay, better now that I heard your voice. Hadley sat by the phone all night.”
Willow pouted and her heart sank a bit. “Poor girl…I wish the time difference wasn’t so…dramatic.”
“She made me promise to wake her up when you called so she can say ‘good day mate’.” Tara giggled and her smile grew wider as she heard Willow giggle too.
“Okay, go wake her up.” Willow said.
Tara picked up the cordless phone and climbed the steps softly. Slowly walking into her daughters room, she nudged Hadley lightly, carefully so she woulnd’t startle her. “Hadley, baby…Willmy’s on the phone.”
Hadley stirred a bit and felt something wet on her face. “Brady?” She whispered hoarsely, sitting up and rubbing her eyes, finding her mama on the bed holding the cordless phone. “Mommy?” Tara nodded and handed the phone to the small blonde.
“Baby girl?”
“Mommy!” Hadley bounced in her bed, causing Brady to jump off and curl up by Tara’s feet.
“How’s my little girl?” Willow asked.
“Good! I miss you so much. Can you come home now?”
“No sweetie, not for a while, but I’ll come home carrying gifts and my love.”
Hadley looked at her mama and smiled widely. “I love you mommy.” Hadley whispered. “Oh! Good day mate.” She giggled softly.
Tara shook her head and listend as Hadley said her goodnights and handed the phone back to her. “Willow…I love you.” Tara said over the phone.
“I love you too Tare Bear, I’ll call again this evening okay?” Willow made a kissing sound. “Sweetest dreams my love.”
“Sweetest dreams baby.” Tara made a kiss noise back and listened as Willow hung up.
“She still loves us mama.” Hadley whispered.
“Of course Had, she never stopped.” Tara leaned over and kissed her little girl on the forehead. “I believe she belongs in your bed.” She grinned, picking up Brady. “Sweet dreams sweetie.”
“Sweet dreams mama.” Hadley closed her eyes and pulled Brady closer as Tara stepped out, shutting the door behind her.

“Willow!”
Willow spun around. “Charlie!” She hugged her friend. “Thank Goddess you’re here.”
“Of course I’m here…hello…model in the house.” Charlie laughed and looked Willow up and down. “I’ve gotta say, you look gorgeous, seriously, from a woman who’s been travelling for what…15 – 16hours, then the ride here was another five hours…missing your family and NO make-up?? How do you do it?”
“I live and smile…that’s all the beauty you need.” Willow cracked a grin. “So…” She looked around at the big mansion in front of her while standing in the courtyard, “this is where the camp is held.”
“Well, it’s where we live for the next month…we have to drive into Melbourne for some fun competitions and stuff…like interviews…showing our girls around.” Charlie said excitedly. “You know what I like about this? And I know you’ll agree with me on this one, but what I like is the fact that we’re not in the spotlight this time, we get to be the back peddlers, where we have our girls get to know what it’s like being a model.”
Willow had to agree with her. She was liking this thing so far.
“Oh and Willow, before I forget…we have to go into Melbourne later this evening and pick up a couple of local models…” Charlie began.
“Wait, just you and I?”
“I volunteered to do it, I thought you’d love to come along seeing as you are this big Australia fan.” Charlie winked and turned to walk towards the pool house. “See you out here at 4pm sharp. Love ya Will.”
Willow shook her head and walked up to the mansion. “I hate to think how many models there are exactly.” She said as she opened the doors. “This is going to be a long long month…”
