Following the visit from Anya, and her discovery the next morning that Faith, like Buffy, was recieving a wish as her 10-year slayversary present, Willow's mind began to form an idea. Of course, their were a couple of things that she needed to make clear to herself before she attempted to make this idea a reality, and to make these things clear, there was only one person she could ask. Thankfully, this was the one person she trusted more than anyone else in the world to tell her the truth.

"Hey Tara, can I ask you something?" Willow said to her wife as she made lunch for Sophie who was sitting patiently at the kitchen table. Lily was down for her nap.

"Anything" Tara replied, raising an eyebrow at the redhead. "You know that."

"Yeah. So um, when Buffy wished you back to life, you came back exactly as you were before you died right?"

"Um, I think so" said Tara, becoming a little confused. "Why? Did you notice anything different about me?"

"No, I just wanted your opinion" said Willow.

"It's 'cause she wants Auntie Faith to use her wish to bring Auntie Anya back, and she wants to know if she'll still be pregnant if she does" said Sophie, reading her mother's mind.

"You got me there kiddo" Willow smiled, ruffling her daughter's hair as she placed a ham and cheese sandwich down in front of her.

"Oh" said Tara, now understanding. "Well, since I wasn't pregnant when I died I can't really tell you. That's really the type of thing you'd have to ask Cordelia."

"Yeah, too bad I didn't think of it last night."

"It's a nice idea though" Tara continued. "You should definitely suggest it to Faith if she can't think of anything else."

"And I could ask Cordelia abouts it for you next time she visits my dreams" said Sophie through a mouthful of sandwich.

"Really?" said Willow, getting a little excited.

"Uh-huh" Sophie replied, nodding. "She visited me in my room last night and tolds me she was gonna come see me again real soon. Cordelia likes visiting me in real lifes, she says the hugs are better."

A few days later, in the early morning, Sophie crept into her parents room and gently shook Willow awake.

"What is it?" ahe mumbled sleepily.

"Cordelia comed to see me last night" said Sophie. "All she tolds me was that bringing back Auntie Anya would be likes getting a two for one deal."

"I think I know what that means" Willow grinned as she sat up, rubbing sleep from her eyes. Cordelia wasn't so bad really. Especially since every one of her supposedly cryptic messages were obvious to anybody possessing a fully functional brain.

"And Uncle Xander's here" Sophie continued. "He's downstairs with Lily and Mama Tara." This didn't surprise Willow at all. Since the baby had been born, Xander had begun regularly dropping in for visits on his way to work. Seeing as newborns don't know the meaning of the word sleep-in, either Willow, Tara, or both were always awake to greet him. As she walked downstairs today however, the sight of her best friend cradling her baby daughter, making funny faces at the little girl while she smiled up at him, had a more powerful effect on Willow than it had ever had before. Xander would have been a great father. She looked across to Tara, knowing that they shared the same thought. Now, with a little help from Faith, they had the chance to get their friends a happily ever after just like they had. They were going to get Anya back, her and her baby.
