Hey all. I would just like to say thanks for you're wonderful responses. I was so inspired that I spent a week plotting out ideas for the story and you'll just _love_ them! Plus I have a whole lot of surprises planed for the future chapters. Tell me what you think. I'm not sure but I think I did better in this chapter. I think that I'm actually getting this whole dialog thing down which is odd considering how little I actually talk… to anybody. Anyway tell me what you think and I'll take suggestions whatever and see if they work for what I have planed. Thanks for listening to me babble if you're reading this. I'll let you get to the story now.

Chapter Two
Some Secrets Come Out
"All I get is a hug? Have you found someone else and not told me Red?" Methos asked his eyes glinting with repressed humor.
"Never. You should know that old man." Willow said before dragging his head down and pulling him into a deeply passionate kiss.
"Looks like she _has_ had sex with him." Anya observed while watching in interest as they kissed like lover's who knew each other's body's well and weren't afraid of being public in their affection.
"I can tell. Hey guys! Remember? Impressionable youth here?" Xander called out to the heavily involved couple in front of them.
Willow pulled back reluctantly from Methos and turned to face Xander and Anya, "Sorry about that, but we haven't seen each other for an extended periods of time so you'll understand if we're a little…"
"Enthusiastic?" Methos suggested as he slipped his arms comfortably around her waist.
"That'll do." Willow said as she turned her head and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Oh where are my manners, Methos this is Xander my newest student, and his girlfriend Anya, a former vengeance demon. She'll become one again soon but not until we're ready to leave town though. Xander, Anya this is Methos my former teacher and now my husband."
"HUSBAND! When did you get married? And why wasn't I invited?" Xander yelped slightly hurt that she hadn't told him.
"The first time or the most recent time?" Willow asked mischievously.
"Umm…both." Xander said hesitantly not really knowing if he wanted to know the answer but decided that it was best to know.
"Well… the first time was about 2300 year's ago wasn't it?" Methos looked at Willow, who nodded before continuing, "and the most recent was about 10 years ago. We like to renew our vows every so often." Methos answered as he kissed the top of Willow's head.
"Damn Willow, I knew that you went back in time a way's but not that much." Anya said slightly astonished at the scope of time that they had been together, "You're even older than me!"
"I know. And the whole time I was able to keep it down to only a handful of immortals and other beings that know about me and their mostly family so I don't worry. I'm going to officially enter the game in a couple of years so that I can thumb my nose at the Watchers without them knowing. One of the family is going to pretend to be my teacher."
"Family? I thought that we couldn't have kids." Xander said slightly confused.
"Well our family is a bit odd, it consists of me, Methos, Methos' brothers, my former students, you, and Anya now." Willow answered her face glowing at the mention of her family.
"Wow. I have a family now. When do we get to meet them all? I mean I would like to meet my new family." Xander said enthusiastically.
"Soon. Every once in a while we like to get together and through a big party that usually lasts a few months. Usually we get together after I've had a new student for a year or so. We all help with the training, but I'm the main teacher. So we like to get the student comfortable around all of us. Makes for less problems in the future." Willow said as she leaned back comfortably into Methos' embrace.
"Besides it's a good excuse to get drunk with people that can actually keep up with us." Methos added in wry amusement.
"Wow, sounds fun. And when exactly will this be? Is that why Methos is here?" Xander asked enthusiastic at the thought of what sounded like a totally wild party.
"About a week or so they'll start arriving in town, Methos always show's up a week previous if he isn't with me already, so that he can meet the new student and start planing on what the student needs to learn and with who. Only ones we didn't do that with were my first three students because things were a little… tense between him and his brothers. Also there were some other contributing factors that you will learn soon enough."
"Oh. So I go from having a crappy family to having a really cool big family huh? Sounds great." Xander said happily.
"Well some of them are a bit… unusual but you get used to them after a while." Willow said laughing lightly as she thought of some of the more… eccentric members of the rather extended family.
"Also Xander you should be careful of my brothers. Don't piss them off. You won't like what they do." Methos warned Xander.
"Got it. Respect the uncles. That the only warning I need?" Xander asked taking the warning to heart because Methos gave this feeling of being a person who rarely gave warnings, and when he did you should listen to them.
"There are a few others that you shouldn't piss off for the same reason or similar ones but you should be able to tell when you meet them." Willow said softly.
"Cool. So can we go home now? It's getting kinda late and I would like to actually get some sleep tonight if possible. You know with the research, and finding out all this stuff about you, and the training that you're going to be putting me through tomorrow." Xander said.
"Sure Xan. Come on Methos, let me show you the place we're staying. Got plenty of room for everyone and no one around for a few miles or so. It's a way's out of town but that just means that no one will be disturbed by our… enthusiastic family discussions." Willow said as she started to walk to were she had parked her car.
Methos laughed at her description as he followed Willow. Xander and Anya shared a considering look before following them and getting in the back seat of the car before it drove off out of town.
