The sun was rising and since their rekindling the previous night, Willow and Tara were happily lying in bed wrapped in each other's love. Willow placed her head on Tara's chest as she sighed.
"I know this is going to sound crazy but…I think there might be something going on…with Spike and Buffy." Willow wondered out loud to her girlfriend. "I think maybe…"
"They've been sleeping together." Tara blurted out.
Willow laughed. "I don't know if I'd go that far."
"No, she told me they'd been sleeping together." Tara confessed as Willow turned to look at Tara.
"The naked kind of together?" Willow said, still very much in shock. Confusion and sadness showed on Willow's face. She'd been left out of the loop.
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I promised her I wouldn't. It's just, she's going through something bigger right now…She's pregnant." Tara said, watching Willow's reaction.
"Does everyone else know? Am I the only one she didn't—"
"No, God. She didn't even mean to tell me. It just kind of came out." Tara said, caressing Willow's soft red hair.
"Wow. This changes her whole life. I mean, she's the slayer. That was her whole life. Now…How could she hide something like this from me?" Willow began quieting.
"I think she was afraid of the look on your face. Kind of like the one you're wearing now." Tara said, delicately.
"No, I'm not—I'm just trying to understand." Willow corrected.
Tara smiled at Willow before giving her a serious look of concern. "So is she."
"Wow. She probably really needs someone to talk to."
Tara kissed her girlfriend's forehead. "Probably."
