The months passed by quickly and soon, it was almost time. "Hey Baby." Willow said, stroking her wife's belly as they lay in bed. "We're really excited for you to come. We really want to meet you."
"I'm more than excited." Tara said sleepily.
"I'm sorry Sweetie. Did I wake you?"
"No." Tara smiled. "It's ok."
"I wish she'd come already though." She winced as she turned slowly to face Willow. "This is really starting to hurt."
"Oh Baby, it'll be alright." Willow said sympathetically, reaching over to massage her wife's shoulders.
"Oh that's nice." Tara smiled happily, leaning as close as she could to kiss Willow.
"Any day now hey Tara?" Xander smiled as she came into the kitchen with Willow and Holly close behind, helping her.
"I hope so." Tara said. "I really, really hope so."
"Well it could be." Xander said shrugging his shoulders. "You're pretty big."
"Way to make me feel better Xander."
"Sorry."
"You're still beautiful Baby." Willow said. "Glowing."
"Thanks Willow." Tara said, meeting her lips for a kiss.
"Willow's right." Buffy smiled. "You are glowing. Just the way you should be. A wonderful wife who loves you, a bundle of joy on the way. Gosh Tara, I'm kinda jealous."
"Really?" Tara asked disbelievingly.
"I am too." Holly admitted. "If I could find someone half as beautiful as Willow I'd be the happiest girl on the planet."
Willow blushed. "Thanks Holly." She said, hugging the girl close.
"Well, if I haven't seen a happier couple." Faith said as she came into the room. "You two look like you're on top of the world."
Xander nodded his agreement.
"Ok, I think we can all agree on one thing, if nothing else." Buffy said and everyone turned to look at her.
"What?" Dawn asked.
"Willow and Tara are the happiest couple in the room." Everyone nodded.
"Tara, why did you wet yourself?" Anya asked bluntly. "I thought you'd be old enough now to…"
"Anya!" Xander hissed, embarrassed, clapping a hand over his girlfriend's mouth before she could say any more.
Tara winced as a sudden rush of pain coursed through her. She tried to ignore it but couldn't as another jolt soon took it's place. She knew what that meant.
