Paring: Buffy/Anna

Summary: Buffy goes on the road with Anna's band. And Buffy is pregnant.

A/N: Lesbian themes and a child on the way. I'm getting stupider by every story.

The Wife, The Child and The Band:

Part One

**Magic Box**

"Guys we need to talk." Buffy said as she came in the store with Anna following behind her.

"What's up Buffy?" Xander asked.

"Anna's band wants her back, to do touring and CD's and other band stuff. And we have to decided to do it. We are going out next week for her to begin recording on her new album. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm leaving with her." Everybody tried to protest at once but Buffy threw up her hands to silence them. "I have made up my mind and I'm going with her. I'm sorry, but she is my wife." Everybody gave Anna bad looks.

"I'm going to go outside." Anna went outside and sat down. Tara followed her out to get her side of the story.

"Why?" Tara asked as she sat down.

"I hate tearing her up from her friends but this was her idea. At our reception, she made me promise to go back with the band if they asked me. And they asked me, I tried to talk her out of it, believe me."

"Do you not want this?"

"I've wanted to be back in the band since the day that I left. It's Buffy that I'm worried about, it's rough being out on the road all the time. And I want a family. Buffy herself said that she wanted four kids." Tara laughed slightly.

"I think that you should do it. Everybody will get over it."

Buffy and Anna left the next week for a recording studio in Cambodia. Anna said that it was part of her family's. Buffy met with the band and sat through every recording. After more than a month, Buffy decided that she wanted to start a family. Anna and Buffy did the spell, and a couple of weeks later found out the Buffy was pregnant. They began planning and setting up a room on the tour bus. Anna had to buy her own tour bus so that they wouldn't disturb the other band members.

Part Two

**Tour bus, Buffy is 7months pregnant**

Buffy stood in front of a mirror, looking at her stomach. She turned different ways and let out a sigh. Anna came up behind her and laid her hands on Buffy's growing stomach.

"Do I still look cute?" Anna began singing the chorus to a song.

Looking back on when we first met,

I cannot escape and I cannot forget

Baby you're the one you still turn me on

You can make me whole again

"I hated that song when it first came out and I hate it now. But it was a kind gesture. The doctor might be able to tell us if it is a girl or boy today." Anna smiled and mouthed "boy."

As it was getting closer to Buffy's due date, they decided to stay home. Because of the media hype surrounding the band, Buffy thought it to be safer if she kept quiet and not contact her friends. One night, standing in the kitchen, Buffy and Anna were cleaning up the dishes when the Elders called her. She went to see them, when she came back she hurried Buffy to the car with her things.

"Why are we doing this?" Buffy asked.

"Trust me." As they were nearing the hospital, Buffy's water broke and she was having contractions. They rushed in and got a room. It wasn't crowded, seeing as how it was only eleven at night. Inside the room, Buffy held Anna's hand, occasionally squeezing too hard and saying that she never wanted to have another kid.

"You're almost there, you're doing good sweetheart."

"I'm never having another kid so you better make this one last." The doctors and nurses had to laugh at this. After a few more pushes, Buffy delivered a baby boy. Anna held her son and knew that this was the second most beautiful creature in the world. The first of course being Buffy.

"Look Buffy, it's our son. Collier Michael Carlisle-Summers." Anna handed her son to Buffy and both girls fell in love with his adorable face. They didn't get to call their friends, even though they wanted to. Buffy decided to try to send some letters and pictures.

**Eight weeks later, Summers old house**

After Buffy left, Dawn, Anya, and Xander moved into the Summers house. Dawn took her old room back while Xander and Anya took Joyce's old bed. The gang, including Willow and Tara, were at the house when Dawn turned on the TV.

"Oh my god! Guys come here quick." Everybody moved into the living room. "I taped Total Request Live today and look who is on it." Dawn pushed play and everybody watched intensely.

"Guys, we've asked you to keep it quiet because the lead singer of the band "Rise of Avalon" is here and she brought her son. She asked that we keep it quiet and not scream and yell. So, and keep it quiet, here is Anna, her wife Buffy and their new son Collier." Anna, carrying Collier, and Buffy walked out. The audience awed at the sleeping new born.

"We are going to premier one of your videos today and the other one tomorrow. What made you think of the idea for the video "When You Dream"?"

"I was looking at my son one night I wanted to do a video with him in it. And as I was trying to think of a song he would be perfect in, I was listening to the "Bare Naked Ladies" CD and I heard this song and thought that it would be perfect."

"Who directed the video?"

"My band mate Jim, he came up with the idea to do it in black and white."

"Why two videos back to back? And whose name do you use?"

"I wanted to do this video for my son, and then I want a video with the band. I use my name because it's just me playing the guitar."

"Buffy, how has Anna been with your son?" Buffy laughed.

"She won't let me touch him. I'm the one who carried him for nine months but now I can't get within three feet of him. She takes him everywhere, to photo shoots, to recordings and even interviews."

"Okay, quietly we are going to premier the video "When You Dream" by Anna."

They went into the video with shot's of Collier's baby pictures. Then it showed, in black and white, Anna sitting next to the crib playing this song while she was watching Collier. It showed various shots of her in the nursery room, and then song ended.

Dawn turned off the tape and looked at the gang.

"Buffy has a kid and doesn't even bother to tell us?" Willow said as she sat down.

"He was cute though." Tara sat down with her lover.

The phone rang and Anya answered it. She spoke briefly and then hung up. "Well you can yell at her tomorrow. They are taking a vacation and are coming to see us."

Part Three

**Summers House**

The doorbell rang and Dawn jumped up to answer it. From the living room the gang could see Dawn holding the door open. Buffy walked in and looked behind her. Anna came in carrying a car seat with Collier in it. Buffy pointed to the kitchen and told her to set him in the floor.

"Can't even call your best friends and let them know that you're pregnant?" Tara asked as she hugged Anna and then Buffy. Everybody looked at the baby and moved him into the living room. "He is so beautiful Anna." Tara said proudly.

"Well look at his mother, would you expect anything less?" Anna kissed Buffy.

"I saw you on Total Request Live the other day." Dawn said. "That video was cool." Collier sneezed and made everyone aw. Anna leaned down and unbuckled him from the car seat, she picked him and handed him to Willow.

"I know that you all want to hold him." Willow smiled happily and held the baby.

"Are you still going to continue with the band?" Xander asked.

"I think so."

*************************

Anna kept on touring with Buffy and Collier at her side. Her band was successful and were known world wide. Buffy lived a happy life and raised her son. Willow and Tara got married a year later. Xander and Anya had their first baby that same year. A month later they got married. Five years later, Giles took ill and died.
