Chapter seven
After Tara and Piper had went up to bed, Willow went upstairs to her room, and got her photo albums. She had the sudden urge to look at the life that she once lived with her beloved Tara.
'Oh, I remember that day, Tara looked so beautiful, well, she always looks beautiful but that day especially.' Thought Willow as she looked at a picture of when her and Tara went to the beach for their 1 year anniversary.
All the sudden, Willow heard a noise. Someone was coming down the stairs. Willow knew who it was, and was very happy to see this certain someone.
"Hey Piper Jean," she said to the little girl who had wandered her way into the living room.
"Hi Willow, do you know where the potty is?" The girl asked as she blushed and hid her face under her hair, just like her blonde mommy did.
"Yeah sweetie, come on, follow me." She said as she stood up and showed Piper where the first floor bathroom was.
"Thank you." said Piper when she was finished.
"Ok, you should go back to bed now honey. You're mommy won't be very happy if she wakes up and finds you're not in bed anymore." Said Willow, she didn't want Tara to get any madder at her than she probably already was.
"But I'm not tired anymore Willow. And I saw you looking at pictures. Can I look at a few before I go back to bed? Please?" the little girl looked up at her mommy, she didn't know she was her mommy, but Willow smiled and nodded her head.
They made their way over to the couch where Willow sat down, with the little blonde-red head next to her.
"Willow, can I sit on your lap?" Piper asked shyly.
"Of course sweetie," Willow said as a smile lit up her eyes.
"Thank you." the little girl said as she climbed onto Willow's lap and got comfortable.
"Hey, look, it's mommy!" the little girl pointed to the picture that Willow was looking at before Piper came downstairs.
"Yep, that's your mommy, isn't she pretty?" said Willow.
"My mommy's very, very pretty. So are you. You look a lot like me." Said Piper.
"You're mommy's beautiful, and so are you honey." Willow said.
They spent about 15 minutes looking at pictures before they fell asleep together on the couch. Willow was leaned up against the arm of the couch with her legs on the couch, with Piper on top of her. Just like Willow used to lay with Tara when Willow had a bad day.
Around 5:30 AM Tara woke up, and rolled over to find that her daughter was no-where to be found. She started to panic, and got up. She looked in every room upstairs, trying to not wake Dawn or Buffy up. She still couldn't find her. So she went down stairs, and noticed that the living room light was still on. When she walked into the living room, she saw Piper and Willow asleep on the couch.
'Thank you goddess,' she thought to herself as she noticed how peaceful they both looked. She then decided that she would let Piper stay there because if she didn't Piper would be mad at her for waking her up, and so would Willow. She covered them up with a blanket, shut the light off, and went back to sleep feeling safer than she had in 5 years.
