"There's our girl!" Willow said brightly as Buffy led Rhiannon towards them.
"Feeling better now?" Tara asked gently.
Rhiannon nodded, nervously glancing back at Buffy who was kneeling on the ground a little way away. Buffy smiled, giving her goddaughter a reassuring nod.
"Come here sweetie." Willow smiled, opening her arms. Feeling better, Rhiannon ran into them, hugging both her mothers tight.
"Do you want to tell us what was wrong?" Tara asked as Rhiannon settled herself in between them.
"Ok." Rhiannon said, still a little nervous. "I thought… I thought when the new baby came, you'd.. youd…"
"What did you think we'd do Rhi?" Asked Tara, slipping a comforting arm around the small girl's shoulders.
"I thought you'd forget about me."
"Oh Rhi!" Willow said, pulling her daughter in for a hug and resting her chin on Rhiannon's head briefly before pulling away to wipe a stray tear.
"I'm sorry Mummy Willow. I didn't mean to make you sad." Rhiannon said, a frown forming on her face as she leaned in and squeezed her mother.
"It's ok Sweetie." Willow said, a small smile forming on her lips as she patted her daughter's back.
"What made you think we could ever forget about you Rhi?" Tara asked.
"Babies are a lot of work. I thought with a new baby, you wouldn't have time for me anymore."
"Aww, sweetie no! That's not true. We'll always have time for you, and we'll never forget you." Willow promised, kissing her daughter's forehead.
"You won't?"
"No Rhi! We love you. We need you here."
"You do?"
"Didn't you know Sweetie?" Tara asked. "Being a big sister is one of the most important jobs ever. The baby's gonna be looking up to you one day. You're gonna be the cool older sister. Besides, don't you want to help us?"
"Help?"
"Yeah. Babies are a lot of work. We can't do it all by ourselves." Willow said.
"What would I do?"
"You could play with it, teach it things, help us give it a bath."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Of course you could." Willow smiled.
"Rhi, you're gonna be the best big sister there's ever been." Tara agreed.
"You know you were wrong before." Holly told her sister.
"I was? What about?"
"You and Willow are the best big sisters there's ever been." Holly smiled, hugging her sister tight. At the look Tara gave her, Holly spoke again. "Ok. On second thought, maybe the three of you can share the title."
Tara's face relaxed into a grin. "Maybe you and the new baby might share a title too, if it's a girl."
"Which it will be." Holly joked, knowing Willow was hoping for another girl.
"Which it will be." Tara echoed.
"What title would that be?" Holly asked.
"Best little sister ever." Tara smiled, hugging her sister close.
