Hey everyone.
I know it's taken me an extremely long time to update. Not a lot of people reviewed for this story but then I thought it wasn't fair to those of you who did enjoy it to not continue with it. So for those of you who reviewed thank you so much! This story is already pretty much done I just have to keep postin more often. I hope you'll keep reading!

Prue and Willow took Laci and Paige into the kitchen to find something that would make them tired.
Willow sat on a bar stool cradling Laci in her arms.
"Paige took a late nap so we have to find something good," Prue sighed searching through the cabinets.
"Lac took a late nap too but I finally, after going through about a thousand ideas last night, gave her some warm milk and honey and she was down for the count," Willow replied as Paige toddled over to Prue, curious to see what her big sister was doing.
"Paige want some milk?" Prue asked. Paige nodded and followed Prue over to the fridge.
"Will, did you bring a bottle for Lac?" Prue asked getting a sippy cup for Paige. Willow nodded and handed Prue a bottle out of Laci's bag. Prue filled both of them with milk and honey and stuck them in the microwave. When it was done Prue told Paige to sit at the table and she gave her the milk. Prue smiled and gave Willow the bottle for Laci. Willow fed Laci from the bottle and hummed to her gently. Lac didn't even make it till the bottle was empty before she was sound asleep, snuggled deep into Willow's jacket, safe in her mom's arms.
"All gone!" Paige said proudly.
"SHHH!" Prue and Willow warned at the same time and pointed to Laci. Paige smiled and put her fingers to her lips.
"Come on Paige go pick a bookie book for Prue to read to you," Prue whispered.
"Okey Dokey," Paige whispered back and ran to the stair case and started climbing up. She met Buffy at the top.
"Where you goin' Paigey Paige?" Buffy asked.
"Paige going to get a book for Prue to read. But Shhh Laci sleep!" Paige warned and ran into Prue's bedroom. Buffy smiled and headed downstairs. When she got there she saw Laci fast asleep in Willow's arms. Prue and her were whispering about her.
"Hey guys do we know what movie we're going to see yet?" Buffy whispered. Prue and Willow shook there heads.
"Okay I'm going to go read Paige that story and you two head over to the theatre okay?" Prue said.
"I don't want to leave my baby," Willow whispered quietly, truly looking like she was going through a moment of pain. Buffy was quickly at her side.
"Will, we won't have a long night tonight. I promise," Buffy put Willow's hair up with her hand and rubbed her neck gently. Willow handed Laci over to Prue who cradled her in her arms. Willow sighed heavily as Prue took Laci upstairs. She leaned into Buffy.
"Just think Buff, if it weren't for you Lac wouldn't even be here today."
Flashback
Willow sat on the edge of the bath tub crying in her rather large house. She was 16 and lived in a big house with her parents. It had to be about 3:30 in the morning. Little Willow had just finished taking a pregnancy test she had taken from the store down the street. Willow had taken the test from the store, slipping the 5 dollars for it secretly on the counter. She didn't want anyone to know what she was doing. The test proved that Willow Rosenberg was pregnant.
Willow had gotten raped at a party barely a year ago, and feared the outcome for what seemed like forever. Willow never told her parents about what happened. Willow wiped her eyes and slipped back into her bedroom. With the door closed she did a good deal of more crying until morning. It was the middle of summer and Willow had to go meet Buffy at the store they worked at for their summer job. Prue and her sisters had gone to Europe with her Grams.
Willow dressed hurriedly and ran out of the house without saying good-bye to her mother and father. She ran all the way to Buffy's house and knocked on the front door fighting hard to keep back tears. 12-year-old Megan Summers, still in her pjs, opened the door and smiled at Willow.
"Hey Will," Megan smiled and yelled for Buffy through the house.
"God Megamoo. No need for all the screamin'," Buffy kissed her little sister on the head and closed the door behind her.
"Hey Willow," Buffy said her regular bouncy self. As soon as Buffy parked in the parking lot of their job Willow burst out crying.
"Will, Will what's the matter?" Buffy asked alarmed as she took her friend in her arms.
"Buffy," Willow said miserably tears running down her face. "I'm pregnant." Buffy went through a moment of horror before taking Willow back in her arms.
"I don't know what to do," Willow wiped away tears. The sleeve of her jacket was sopping wet.
"Did you tell your parents?" Buffy asked. Willow shook her head.
"I have to go get an abortion."
"Willow no!" Buffy said firmly her arms still around Willow.
"You are not going to go get an abortion. You have to have this baby. How far along?" she asked, still trying to calm Willow. Willow sighed miserably.
"3 months."
"3 months Willow! You have to tell your mom and dad!" Buffy cried.
"I can't disappoint them like that," Willow replied, at this point gulping breaths of air between her sobs.
"Willow you know this state only allows you to have an abortion under the age of 18 if your parents agree or you get a judges approval. You know that court house judge doesn't ever agree when it's something like this," Buffy replied looking Willow in the eyes.
"Then I can just go and get a back alley abortion," Willow replied sniffling. She had heard about them on TV.
"WILLOW!!! You know that's illegal! Anyway those are way too dangerous. If you go and tell your parents, I'll go with you," Buffy said. Willow held back her sobs as Buffy started the engine.
End of Flashback
When the two arrived at the theatre Oz, Angel, and Andy where waiting anxiously outside. Angel smiled gently at Buffy as she came up and brought him in for a long kiss. Oz also smiled at Willow as she came and grabbed him around his waist.
"Where's Prue?" Andy asked as the three headed into the lobby of theatre. Buffy and Angel held hands while Willow and Oz had there arms entwined, Willow's head rested on Oz's shoulder.
"She wanted to read Paige a book before she left to make sure she'd stay asleep," Willow replied as her and Oz sat down on a bench, nuzzling each other.
"Where's Lace?" Oz whispered.
"With Prue," Willow whispered back.
Prue gently set Laci down in Paige's old crib. Grams had set it up in Prue's bedroom. Prue put Paige onto her bed and started reading her the book she had picked out. Soon Paige's even breathing told her, her baby was asleep.
She kissed her softly on the head and eased herself off of the bed. Then she bent over Laci's crib and kissed her on the cheek. Then she slowly turned out the light and closed her bedroom door.
Willow was right; it was hard to leave them. Prue crept over to Phoebe's room and peeked her head inside. Phoebe lay awake. The light was off but the TV was on and Amy was fast asleep under Phoebe's neck.
"Night Pheebs," Prue whispered.
"Night Prue," Phoebe whispered back. Prue closed the door and walked quietly down the staircase. When she got to the family room she saw that Piper and Megan were fast asleep under mounds of blankets. Piper was a very deep sleeper and little could wake her up. Prue was thankful for this, for what happened next.
Little cliff-hanger for you there. Updates will be more frequent I promise!
