Over the next few months Willow & Tara started to get closer. Willow has met Tara's mum Rosie & they got along great. Tara was happy that her mum liked Willow & was happy that Willow could spend some nights at her place when she was lonely. Tara's mum didn't like Tara being alone with Willow in Willow's house so she said it was ok if Willow stayed a few nights with them. The girls didn't argue & enjoyed sleeping in the same bed & waking up together. They havn't been intimate yet but they have touched each other above the waist & havn't seen each other topless yet.
It was the day of Tara's 18th birthday she was excited to see her brothers & sisters with their partners & lil Mark. Her dad has rang her wishing her a happy birthday but said he couldn't get out of work to be there. Tara was sad but she knew she would be ok once she saw her family.
Willow was gonna be late to Tara's party cause the cheerleading squad had a competion & Willow told Tara she shouldn't come so she can spend time with her family. Tara was a bit sad about that but Willow told her once the competion is done she will put a big smile on her face. Tara agreed & kissed her girl with so much passion that Willow went weak in the knees.
Tara spent time with her family before Faith & Xander arrived "Happy birthday T" Faith said giving Tara a hug & handing her a present. "Thanks Faith. You didn't need to get me anything" Yeah I know but your my best friend & this is a important age for you" Xander hugged Tara "Happy birthday T. You look great. Willow will have to keep an eye on you. Alot of people might hit on you ha ha" "Thanks Xander Willow knows she is the only one for me. I want you guys to meet my family"
Tara introduced them to her family & they all got along good. Jesse & Oz turned up & they mingled & had fun. Darlene walked up to Tara "Hey baby sis can I talk to you for a bit" "Yeah sure. We can sit outside. Everything ok" They walked outside & sat on the stairs. "Baby T I want to move closer to you & mum. I want to live in Sunnydale. James lost his job & there is a few jobs he is good at here. I know Mark loves you & misses you so I was wondering if you would be ok if we moved here" Tara looked at Darlene & smiled. She hugged her "That would be great. I have missed so much when dad kicked me out. When do you think you will move here" "Next week we havn't got a house yet. Mum said we could stay with you guys but I wanted to make sure you will be ok with having us all here" "If I get my big sis back in my life then I really would love for you guys to live with us" Darlene hugged Tara tightly "Thanks baby sis. I love you" "I love you too"
They pulled apart & started talking about how living together will be like again. David saw them sitting & sat next to them "So what are you guys doing out here" "We were just discussing me moving here with mum & Tara" "I'm gonna miss you guys even my lil nephew" "I know Dave but it will be good for us to live here" Tara looked at them & smiled "Hey I've missed you guys for years & now I get to see my nephew grow now" Darlene & David had a sad face & hugged Tara "We are sorry that we didn't keep in contact when dad kicked you out we didn't know why he didn't want us to contact you" Darlene said. "It's ok guys. You are here now that is what's important"
A little girl came running on top of Tara. "Woah lil one what's up" Tara said laughing & hugging Aly. "Jimmy & Mark have a crush on this red head girl. They won't leave her alone ha ha" Tara smiled. "What's with the smile Lil T" David asked "Willow is here my girlfriend" Tara stood up ''Come on I want you guys to meet her" They all walked in the lounge & saw alot more people then when they went outside. "Happy birthday Tara here is your present" Anya said giving Tara a hug & handing her the present. "Thanks Anya how did you guys go" "We came 3rd which is good. That means we made the finals so we will work harder to win it" ''That's good Anya''
Buffy walked up to Tara ''Happy birthday hope you are having fun" ''I am I have my family here" Tara said smiling looking at them "I also have my friends" ''So the little ones are they your family who are hitting on Willow'' Nikki said hugging Tara ''Yeah the older one is Jimmy my brother & the younger one is my nephew Mark. These two tall people are my older siblings Darlene & David. This lil cutie is my sister Aly" They all said hello's & smiled at each other. "I'm just gonna say hi to my girl i'll be back" Tara said walking to Willow.
Willow didn't have a chance to see her girlfriend she was being talked to by two cute boys who wouldn't let her leave them. Willow heard a voice & looked up & saw her girl walking to her.
"Hey baby brother are you hitting on my girlfriend" Tara laughed looking at Jimmy "What she is your girlfriend. How in the hell did you get her Tara'' Jimmy looking at Tara in shock. Tara ruffled his hair "I have game lil bro" She said smiling down at him. Tara walked over to Willow & hugged her ''Hey sweetie I missed you'' "I missed you too. Happy birthday baby" Willow said kissing Tara. "Oh man so not fair you got her Tara. So not fair" Jimmy grabbed Mark & walked away. Tara laughed & grabbed Willow's hand that was my brother Jimmy & the cute lil boy was my nephew Mark.

Willow the tall guy is my older brother David next to him is my sister Darlene & the lil one here is Aly'' They all shook hands & smiled.

She looked at her friends & said "I think i'm gonna tell Tara i love her tonight" ''Really Will that is awesome'' Buffy said with a smile. Anya looked at Willow "hey Will you know all of these people hey" "Yeah kinda why" ''The guy with the black hair next to Tara what is his name" Willow looked over there. She chuckled "That's Xander he goes to our school An ha ha'' "Really do you think he will go out with me" "Not sure An you might need to ask him yourself'' ''Ok I will"
