"You can kinda…" Willow started, her eyes lit up.
"No you can't. Not yet." Tara laughed at her wife's enthusiasm.
"I can!" Willow protested, a small pout forming on her lips.
"You're the only one." Tara said, kissing her wife's lips.
"No she's not." Holly said, studying Tara side on. "I can see it a little."
"See?" Willow turned to her wife, the smile returned to her lips. Tara smiled back at her.
"This is really exciting!" Holly said, coming closer and enveloping her sisters in a hug. "I'm going to be an aunty!"
"The best one there's ever been." Willow smiled.
"Your baby is so lucky." Holly gushed. "You guys are going to make the best mums!"
"You think so?" Tara asked, hugging her little sister's shoulders.
"Uh huh. Like Willow said, the best there's ever been."
"Xander, Buffy," Tara started. Hearing their names, the two looked over at her.
"We were hoping you'd be the baby's godparents."
"What…" Xander started, stopping as Buffy gave him a hard shove in the ribs.
"Ouch! Buffy! What was that for?"
"We'd love to." Buffy said, smiling back at her friends. "Of course we will. We'd be honoured."
Only Tara noticed Holly's face fall, ever so slightly.
"What wrong Hol?" She asked, smiling softly.
"You don't want me as a godparent?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper.
"Oh sweetie no! It's not that!" Tara laughed, taking Holly in her arms and hugging her tight. "We'd love you as one. We haven't forgotten about you, don't worry. We thought you could share with Giles on the next one."
A smile escaped Holly's lips. "Twins?" She asked breathlessly.
Tara laughed again, rubbing her belly. "Oh no. When we have another one. There's only one for now."
Holly laughed. "Ok." She said as her sister hugged her again.
"Tara?"
"Yeah?"
"You really are the best." She smiled. "When I came here looking for you, I never dreamed I'd get a sister as brilliant as you. Willow too. You've both been so kind to me, so generous. I'm really lucky."
"You're so sweet Holly." Tara smiled. "I'm so glad you did find me. To get a sister, and you in one day, it was wonderful. One of the best things that's ever happened to me."
"Best thing that's ever happened huh?" Willow asked, slipping her arm around Tara's shoulders.
"Right behind you of course." Tara smiled playfully, kissing Willow's cheek in greeting.
Willow shot a concerned look at Holly. "It's ok Will." Holly smiled. "I never dreamed of being first instead of you. Being second to you is pretty awesome anyway."
Willow's face coloured and she put her free arm around Holly, pulling her close to them and hugging her affectionately. "You know you're second too right?" She asked her.
Holly looked confused before understanding set in. "To Tara."
Willow nodded. "You're like a little sister to me. The little sister I always wanted and never had."
Holly smiled, hugging Willow back. "You two are the best!" She smiled, hugging them both.
"So are you Holly." Willow and Tara said.
"There's your baby." The doctor smiled, pointing to a little blob on the screen.
"Wow." Willow breathed, squeezing Tara's hand. "That's ours."
"Sure is Sweetie." Tara smiled, looking over at her wife. "Tiny isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"Would you like to hear the heartbeat?" The Doctor asked, interrupting the couple's musings. Both nodded eagerly, returning their eyes to the screen.
"It's even more of a miracle when you hear it." Willow said breathlessly.
"It makes it real doesn't it?" Tara asked. "There's a little life growing in there."
Meanwhile, the doctor was studying the screen intently, her expression a mixture of concern and seriousness.
"What's wrong Doctor?" Tara asked, catching on to the doctor's concerned silence.
"Oh ah." The doctor said nervously, turning back to face them. "I don't know how to say this, but ah, there seems to be a problem."
