Talking about Babies and Badies
A few days later, Aly and Katie are at the desk in the young Slayer's room looking at the site on the computer. They look at each other and their eyes meet. Flushed from both embarrassment and arousal the teens quickly look away. It is Katie who is first to compose herself and she reaches a hand to Aly's chin and lifts it. "So-what are you thinking?"

Aly's blush deepens and Katie smirks- "What?- Like you're not?" She leans forward and kisses her. As the kiss intensifies Aly's arms go around her girlfriend's waist and pull her closer. As she pulls back she leans her forehead against the other teen's. "I want us together at the cabin-but we can't."

"It doesn't have to be the cabin," whispers Katie as she kisses her young Slayer.

"But I want it to be special," admits Aly- "Not just sex in the backseat y'know?"

"I get that-and I want special too. We could-" she stops, the temptation of Aly's lips calls her back in and they kiss again. Hands begin to explore bodies and both moan slightly. Finally out of breath and control Katie eases away. "Let's go for a walk?"

"Yeah-air's good," agrees the redhead. After a few more quick, less heated kisses they go towards the door hand-in-hand.

In the training room Kennedy is working out. The door opens and she looks up from the punching bag to see Aly and Katie. "What's up-"

"We're going for a walk."

"Back before dark-okay?"

"Sure-" the teenagers leave.

Kennedy goes back to work on the bag only to be interrupted by someone else walking in. She looks up to see Annie- "Sorry Mama-"

"It's okay-"

"Can I borrow the car?"

"To go where?"

"Ah-to the game room. Jake and I-"

Kennedy raises an eyebrow, "Game room right," she says teasingly. "Keys are on the hook back before dark and no making out in my backseat."

"Check no making out in the backseat!" She whispers- "That leaves the front seat."

"I heard that-Slayer hearing," informs Kennedy.

"Damn-" mutters the young Slayer.

"And that-watch your language."

"Sorry Mama," she half smiles and leaves.

Kennedy shakes her head and turns back to the bag. After hitting it a few more times the door opens yet again. Kennedy smiles as she sees Willow holding a bottled water. "Hey-come 'ere you." The redhead walks to her Slayer and smiles as they kiss softly. Kennedy takes the bottle and then a drink.

"Hungry?" asks Willow with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"That too-" she kisses her girl and then begins to tease her body with her wrapped hands. Willow pulls her Slayer's hands away and begins to remove the wraps.

"I want to feel your hands-" she clarifies her actions. Once finished Kennedy's hands move to rest on the redhead's waist as they kiss again. As lips open and close against lips, Kennedy's fingers and then hands slide under Willow's shirt and cup her breasts.

The redhead moans, her head thrown back. "Hey-stop that." She bites her bottom lip and forces her eyes open to meet Kennedy's confused ones. "We can't-" Kennedy kisses her, "not if we want," she licks up to the redhead's ear as she hands continue to caress. "The magic-we need-"

The Slayer removes her hands and then she leans her head on the redhead's shoulder, "It's been so long I almost forgotten-"

"No sex for seventy-two hours," Willow says sadly.

"I hate this part almost as much as the morning sickness," pouts the Slayer.

"Me too, but it's important-the energy helps with the conceiving."

She nuzzles her witches neck, "Saturday-I'm gonna make you-" her words turn to a whisper as she puts her lips to Willow's ear.

She moans at the words and then whispers back, "Goddess I hope so-"

"That's a promise," assures Kennedy as she kisses Willow.

And the kissing continues though the scene changes. Annie and Jake are sitting in the car outside the arcade. "We really need to go inside," he says as he slides his hand to her neck.

"Should-yeah," she kisses him again and then reaches behind her for the door handle. Breaking the kiss she bites her lip. "Let's go-" she opens her door and he does the same but they lean in for one more kiss before exiting the car.

After ice cream Aly and Katie are walking through the park on the way home. "Can we play on the tire swing?" Asks Katie.

Looking up at the sky trying to gage the time Aly nods-not one to tell her girl no, "For a few minutes then we have to go."

"Yah!"- Excited, the teenager pulls Aly that direction.

The girls climb on and begin to rock the swing back and forth then in a slow circle. "No circles," whines the young Slayer. "I'll hurl."

Katie slows the swing and begins to bite on her bottom lip, "Can't have that-" she leans across and kisses her redhead. It escalates quickly as Katie's tongue seeks entrance and is not refused. "Chocolate-" she says in a whisper as she raises her eyebrow teasingly.

Before long they are lost in each other. Aly's strong arms pull Katie closer and hands begin to explore first on top of clothes and then under. Finally after a slight moan Aly ends the kiss. "It's late we need to go-don't want grounded this weekend."

"Definite no to that," agrees Katie.

They slowly stand on opposite sides of the tire as they do Aly's Slayer senses start to tingle. "Ah-no-no-!"

"What's wrong?"

"Vampires-" she begins to scan the area but doesn't see anything. She takes Katie's hand and leads her away. They haven't gone ten feet when three newbies moves from behind the concession stand. The closest one grabs Katie but Aly quickly punches him in the face. "You so picked the wrong girls-" she slides a stake from her boot and dusts the nearest one before he knows what has hit him. "Dust-" she coughs before continuing. "That's what you're all gonna be unless you're smart enough to run." On cue the smallest one runs away. "Looks like that leaves you and me."

"And me-the dollies want to play," says the dark haired woman as she changes to her game face. "Let's do it."

The young male vamp attacks and Aly is able to keep him off balance. However he is finally able to land a right hand to the face. Now angry, her adrenilin pumping she hits him with a round house kick and then a sweep. She knocks him off his feet, she pounces on him and then stakes him-again dust fills the air. "Your turn," the young Slayer's eyes meet the woman's.

"You're no fun-hurt my boys, but it's not done." She starts to back away.

Aly steps closer to Katie and as the vampire disappears she leads her away. Their pace is faster then before. Aly finally speaks, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah-have I told you how much I don't like vampires?"

"Maybe once," she half smiles.

When the Langdon house is in sight Aly begins to calm down but as she relaxes the hungries and hornies hit. As they stand on the porch Aly leans in and kisses her. The young Slayer's hands travel Katie's body-caressing, teasing and her lips find the sensitive place behind her girl's right ear. She moans- "You taste so good-" her hand slides down to the button on Katie's pants. "I need-" her lips lock with the taller girl's and she works the zipper down. Breaking the kiss and stilling the young Slayer's hand Katie looks into lust filled eyes. Aly begins to apologize. "I'm sorry-the slaying-"

"I get it-" she leans her forehead against Aly's.

Aly smiles playfully, "But I don't-right?" she pouts blushing slightly.

"Hey-our first time isn't gonna be a slay and then a lay-" she stops, turning red at her own words.

"I don't want that either-it's just-" she starts to kiss her again.

"Go take a long cold shower and I'll see you at school tomorrow." She playfully pushes her toward the door. "Night-call me?"

"Yeah-" she watches as the teenager goes to her car. Aly opens the kitchen door to find her parents standing there. "Hey-"

"You're late," says Kennedy their eyes meeting.

"Yeah-there was a little trouble. We ran into some vamps-"

"Wouldn't have if you had been home on time," states Willow.

"I'm sorry-can we just do this later?" asks the teenager.

Kennedy senses the hum of the young Slayer and fights to keep the smile from her face as she backs off understanding her daughter's need, "The balcony after we get the kids to bed."

"Thanks-" the teenager runs up the stairs.

Willow looks at her Slayer unsure, "She got a bad case of the double h's-thought it would be better if-"

The redhead nods, "I forget about that sometimes-since it's not all hellmouthy and the problems have been almost nonexistent of late, wasn't thinking."

"A lot of that going around tonight."

"Don't be too hard on her, we've lost track of time once or twice." The redhead smiles and kisses Kennedy softly.

"Think we should worry about the vampires being out in groups?"

"I'll tell Giles he can send the young guns to check it out.-I wouldn't worry."

In a crypt at the closest cemetery, the female vamp plays with several dolls as she lines them against the wall. "Edith-do you think she'll remember us after all these years?"

Later Aly walks onto the balcony to find her parents sitting in each other's arms. She sits down across from them. "I know I messed up-but it won't happen again."

"How can we be sure?" asks her mama.

"Katie almost got hurt, trust me I've learned my lesson."

"Happens again-grounding follows," states Kennedy after glancing at Willow for her approval. "Got it?"

"Definitely." They are quiet, "Mama about the trip this weekend-what if we drive up Saturday morning and come back Sunday?"

Willow speaks, "It's too far sweetie-but you could take the truck to the lake." Her eyes meet Kennedy's, "Right Kennedy?"

"Sure-you could stay over night if you wanted."

"The lake?"-She considers it. "Yeah-maybe, I'll talk to Katie. And thanks for not blowing up about earlier." She stands and so do her parents. She hugs Willow and then Kennedy before leaving.

The Slayer wraps her arms around her witch's waist and kisses her neck. "You okay?"

"I guess-they're just so young, I mean-it's gonna happen. I know that it's- not I'm pretending-" Kennedy smiles as she realizes full babble mode is about to happen. "I know they are, I just wish I didn't know-does that make sense?"

"You saying that you wish she wasn't honest with us about her sex life?"

"No-yes-no-it's just-I wish there wasn't a sex life to be honest about. I don't need to know that Saturday they're gonna-"

"Trust me Red on Saturday what they're doing won't enter your mind," she smirks.

"Sound pretty sure of yourself Slayer," teases Willow.

"What can I say-when you're good-" Willow's lips stop her lover's words.

The next day at school Katie and Aly are talking on the bleachers at lunch. "The lake has possibilities. We could put blankets and pillows in the truck bed and sleep under the stars," Aly is excited about the prospect.

"Sleep?" asks Katie with a smile.

"Maybe a little-" the redhead smiles, "Eventually. We could bring the CD player and-"

Katie interrupts, "And candles-it would be great."

"So Saturday, I'll pick you up at noon. We'll do the picnic thing-"

"Ohh-and we could feed the ducks-" adds Katie.

"Sounds like a plan," smiles Aly. They both get quiet as they lace their fingers together. Trying to lighten the mood the redhead asks, "Should I bring my laptop-there were pictures." Katie begins to laugh-and Aly joins in.

Second Thoughts
Willow is walking down the upstairs hall Friday evening. She sticks her head in Alex's room to find her only son on his bed reading a spell book. "Hey-what ya reading?"

"Trying to see if I can find a spell-need to practice."

"Why don't you make a list and Monday you and I will get the ingredients-maybe test out a few."

"Really?"

"Sure," she can't help but smile when she sees his excitement. "I'll pick you up after school and we'll make an evening of it. Just you and me."

"Deal-" he scrambles from the bed for a notebook and pencil. Willow leaves quietly.

On down the hall she knocks on the closed door of her oldest girls. Without thinking she opens it and sticks her head inside. "Annie I-" her words stop as she is surprised by what she sees.

On the bed she sees Annie sitting on Jake's lap, her legs wrapped around him. They are both shirtless, kissing and caressing each other. When she hears her name her eyes open and meet those of her mother. Jake, startled, breaks the kiss and moves off the bed. He slips his shirt on- "This isn't what you think-" defends the boy.

"Good-bye Jake. Annie I want to see you in the living room in ten."

"But Mom-"

Willow interrupts her, "Just-not now, okay?" She goes back out of the room.

Jake can see that Annie is upset, he sits on the bed beside her. "I'm sorry-"

"Hey-I didn't do anything I didn't want too," she forces a smile. "It's not your fault." She leans in and kisses him softly.

"I should go-don't want her more upset than she is." He stands.

Annie stands too and reaches for her shirt as she slips it on he smiles, "What?"

"I took it off-can I put it back on?" He steps toward her as she nods. He begins to button slowly-his hands slightly brush her breasts and she gasps surprised. He smiles as he leans down to kiss her gently.

Willow walks into the training room and takes Kennedy's hand pulling the teenager's mama from her seated position on the mat. As she faces the redhead she speaks, "What's wrong Will?"

"So much for PG-13," she states as she pulls the Slayer toward the door. Kennedy is totally confused, "Annie is waiting for us in the living room.

"Jake?" Her voice is suddenly angry.

"I sent him home," is all she says as she walks out of the room holding Kennedy's hand.

Annie paces while she nervously waits for her parents. She begins to talk to herself- 'I can't be in too much trouble. I mean they didn't ground Aly and she was doing way more. So-relax-relax-' the babble in her mind slows just a little. She sits on the arm of the couch but stands as soon as her parents walk in.

Deciding to defend her position, Annie speaks first, "Nothing happened-or was going to happen."

Willow tries without much success to stay calm, "You're right it's not!"

Kennedy attempts to sooth the redhead, "Will-"

"No-she's going on the pill."

"The pill," repeats Annie, "But I'm not-you've caught Aly and Katie doing a lot more then kissing!-This so isn't fair," the teen is now angry and her voice is a bit louder.

"Tone-" cautions Kennedy.

"But she's not-" her volume decreases.

Willow interrupts her, "It's not like they can get pregnant Annie."

"Still-it's not-"

Kennedy tries again, "Let's sit down and talk-please?" She looks into the eyes of her wife and her daughter. "Please?" Annie nods as she fights tears, she sits down on the couch-staring down at her feet. Willow and Kennedy sit on the coffee table in front of her.

Willow reaches forward and puts her hand on Annie's chin lifting it so that their eyes meet. "I believe you when you say you're not planning to-" her voice is calmer.

"Then why with the psycho Mom act?" asks the young Slayer.

Kennedy answers, "First, she's not psycho-that's Faith," they all smile. "Second, cause sometimes-things just happen."

"Without the planning and then it's too late and I'm so not old enough to be a Grandma-" finishes Willow.

Annie takes her hand from her face and holds it in hers, "I get that-but we're not even close. He's not ready to-you know?- And neither am I."

"Not ready?" asks the redhead as she repeats her daughter's words.

"Nah-I mean I'm the same age as Aly but I'm not her. Just because she thinks she is doesn't mean-" her eyes meet Willow's.

"Okay-but promise us something-" says her mom.

"Promise that when you are ready-you'll tell us?" asks Kennedy.

"Yeah-I can do that." They are all quiet, "So-are we finished? I really need to let Jake know he isn't being hunted down as we speak."

Her eyes meet Kennedy's and the Slayer smiles, "What?- I wouldn't-okay I might, but I didn't."

"Call him-" smiles Willow. Annie stands and jogs from the room. The redhead moves to the couch and her Slayer follows sitting next to her. "Teenagers-are we really sure we can handle another baby?"

"A baby? Absolutely-another teenager? Not so sure." Kennedy wraps her arms around her girl as Willow snuggles into her arms. "Are we taking the kids to Buffy's or is she picking them up?"

"Buffy is picking up Alex and we're dropping the girls off at Faith's."

"Faith?-When did plans change?"

"Before I caught Annie and Jake making out. Forgot to tell you-"

"Guess we should get up and make sure they're packed."

"We should but I don't seem to be able to move." She smiles and tightens her arms. She turns slightly and kisses Kennedy's lips.

Before they can pull apart the room fills with four ten-year olds-backpacks in hand. "Can we go now Mama?" Erin asks Kennedy.

"Nikki said we could play dress-up," smiles Kara excited.

"Hugs first," says Willow with a smile and the kids launch themselves onto the couch and their parents. They all giggle.

Later that night Katie and Aly are sitting on the couch at the Langdon house facing each other, kissing. They have the place to themselves or so they think! Katie's hand rests on the young Slayer's shoulder. Her fingers begin to caress the soft skin of her neck. As tongues come into play both teenagers moan. Aly's hands move to Katie's sides, fingers find bare skin and begin to tantalize. She lays back and pulls her girlfriend down on top of her-their lips never lose contact. Katie, though taller, seems to fit perfectly against Aly's body.

Finally needing air the teenagers part-they are both breathless. "So-you're sure about tomorrow?" asks Aly, their eyes meeting as she bites her bottom lip nervously.

Katie nips at the girl's lip and smiles, "Yeah-" they kiss softly. "You?"

"Nervous-but definitely."

Katie's hand brushes hair back from Aly's face and caresses her cheek, "No reason to be nervous."

"I want this to be-what if I'm not-"

Katie's lips on her lips stop the redhead's words. As she pulls back her eyes find her young Slayer's- "We will work it all out together-got it?" Deciding not to trust her voice she nods. "I love you-" whispers Katie as she kisses her softly.

"I love you-" whispers Aly as she fights to keep her tears away. Without further words Katie shifts her position, still lying down she puts her back against the couch. Aly moves too, she turns her back to her girl and sighs as she feels Katie wrap her arms around her waist spooning her tightly. "Want to watch a movie?"

"Nah-just want to hold you," says Katie as she places a soft kiss to her cheek before resting her face there.

"Like that idea too-" her eyes close and she relaxes-worries of tomorrow momentarily forgotten.

An hour later that is how Kennedy and Willow find them, snuggled together and sleeping on the couch. Willow kisses Kennedy's cheek, "They look so peaceful-" whispers the Slayer.

"Yeah-I hate to wake them."

"We could call Gail-see if she can stay?" Willow nods and they go towards the kitchen.

The stars shine in the night sky as Katie and Aly are kissing and caressing in the bed of Kennedy's truck. Music plays softly in the background as they continue to kiss. As things heat up, hands find buttons and clothes disappear- one article at a time.

Minutes later hands explore nude bodies they both moan and close their eyes lost in the feelings and emotions of the experience.

Aly smiles as they come to earth in wrapped in a tangled mess of arms and legs. The face of a baby flashes in her mind, "Mama-" whispers the child.

Opening her eyes to find the room dark and events a dream she wonders about the baby. She's a little unsure then brushes it away to worry about all the things that could go wrong tomorrow. Her waist still encircled by Katie's arms, Aly shakes the dream away. She almost smiles. Careful not to wake her girl, Aly turns and wraps her arms around the teenager. Her power of her Slayer vision allows her to see the sleeping girl. "So beautiful," whispers Aly as she lightly trails a finger along Katie's cheek. "I hope-" her words stop as she tries to convince herself that tomorrow will be what they both have imagined-no surprises. "I'm not sure about-"

Katie's eyes open and those she can't see her well-their eyes meet. "Sure about what?-" Aly is quiet. "You don't want to-" she stops-her eyes filled with hurt as she reaches for the light. It's purpose two fold, to light the room so they can really talk and second so they can see eye to eye. Neither girl could lie to your face. One look and both know there is trouble in the Land of the indecision. "Have you changed your mind?" Again Aly doesn't answer.

Tonight's the Night
Still on the couch the teenagers face each other. They are sitting cross-legged, their eyes locked. "Gotta agree it's a strange dream-a baby-but it was just a dream Aly. It's not like we can get pregnant-both girls here-no 'Y'-," she smiles shyly.

"I don't know I mean it's possible-with magic and Slayer powers-I'm here and my brother and sisters."

"True but they probably did a ritual-or something right?"

"I guess-" she looks down.

Katie reaches forward and takes Aly's hand, "It's a big step-and it's okay if you want to wait-"

"No-I don't," her words surprise them both a little. "The dream just-it threw me. I want to be with you-" she meets Katie's eyes again.

"So we're good?" Katie asks trying to get some assurance.

"Yeah-I think tonight-" she stops and a blush covers her face-but she forces herself to finish, "Tonight we'll be good together." She smiles nervously.

Katie leans in and kisses her softly, "Yeah-really good. So no more nerves?"

"I'll try," agrees the young Slayer. They lie back down. This time Katie lies on her back and Aly snuggles against her on her side. "I love you Katie."

"I love you-now sleep, no sleepy girlfriend later when we-" her words stop too and she is suddenly the shy one. "You know-" she raises an eyebrow playfully. Aly smiles and snuggles closer, she now rests on top of her girlfriend. Katie holds her tightly and presses a kiss to the top of her soon be lover's head. "Night."

"Night baby-" her eyes close and she gets lost in the soft sound of Katie's heartbeat under her ear.

Upstairs the sleeplessness continues, Kennedy and Willow are spooned together. The Slayer holds her redhead safely in her arms, "This is it-less then twenty-four hours we'll be pregnant again," whispers Willow.

"Pretty exciting huh?"

"Yeah-but I'm a little nervous," confides her witch.

"Why?" She loosens her hold so that Willow can turn in her arms and face her.

"I'm not sure-just the waiting I think. The not knowing who will-" she kisses her love's lips softly, "I love you and either way I'm glad we decided-" she pauses, then continues- "Another baby-I can't wait."

"You should try to sleep Red-making love till daybreak, you'll need your strength."

"Never been a problem before-" smiles the witch her hand trailing down the front of Kennedy's gown-the Slayer gasps surprised.

She swallows hard, "So not fair-" she bites her bottom lip. "You'll pay for that-" assures her Slayer.

"Promise?" smiles her redhead.

"Oh-yeah, now sleep." Willow presses the smaller girl onto her back and crawls on top of her. She snuggles against her body and Kennedy wraps her arms around her to still her movement. "Will-sweetie-mmm-if you don't-I'm gonna and we'll have to wait till next month." Her dark eyes beg the redhead to stop the torture.

"Sorry just trying to get comfortable." She smiles a vixeny smile.

"Right-" states Kennedy not believing her at all. "Goodnight Will."

"Night," she smiles as she kisses Kennedy's neck teasingly.

"Jeeze-are you trying to kill me?" She lifts the redhead off of her and then pins her to the bed, "Behave-" she says as she stares into green eyes. She leans down and kisses her redhead.

As the kiss ends Willow smiles, "Fine-" she realizes the game must stop, "But can I sleep on you?" She says, her pouty lip ready to be added for effect.

Kennedy surrenders and turns to her back-her arms to her sides as Willow smiles and crawls back on top of her. She snuggles back into her favorite spot and closes her eyes. Kennedy tries to steady her breathing and then wraps her arms around her love.

The next morning Aly is awake but lays still. In the night their positions have switched and Katie is sleeping on her lap as she leans against the arm of the couch. Not wanting to wake her girl she lies unmoving.

Annie walks in and sees them on the couch. She can't help but smile though she is a little sad when she realizes this is something that her parents will never allow with her and Jake. Though she thinks it's unfair she understands their fears. She starts to walk away but stops as she hears her name, "Annie," whispers her twin.

"Hey-" she sits down on the coffee table facing the couple. "Mom know she stayed?"

"I guess we were watching movies-must have fallen asleep. Where are you headed?"

"Ah-to get breakfast." She looks to the kitchen then back to her twin. "Want me to fix you something too?"

"Nah-I'm good but thanks."

Annie nods and stands. "So-tonight?"

"Yeah-" she runs her fingers through her girl's hair.

"Can I ask you something?"

"If you want."

"How do you know she's the one?"

Aly thinks about the question and then starts to answer, "I just- I do-" she stops and then starts again, "I can feel it in here." She points to her heart. "She makes me better-stronger-make sense?"

"I guess-" she looks down.

"Something not right?"

"No-just wondering." Annie leaves the room.

Aly watches her unsure-her connection with her twin screaming that all is not right in the world of Annie Langdon. Careful not to wake Katie she slips from the couch and follows her sister.

In the kitchen Annie is putting eggs into a bowl and whipping them as Aly walks in. Without a word she moves to help her twin. She gets bacon out and then a pan. Annie looks at her and finally speaks, "Mom and I had a fight-sort of. She caught Jake and I making out in our room."

"And she freaked?" Annie nods. "But you talked right?"

"She talked, then Mama talked, and finally I got to talk- so yeah. She was worried about us-you know-having sex."

"Really?" Annie nods. "Why?"

"Said she wasn't ready to be a grandma yet," Annie smiles. "I get that but she's worrying for nothing."

"True-" There is a pause, "Wanna hear something funny?"

"Definitely-"

"I dreamed Katie and I were and there was a baby."

"No way-you're just saying that."

"I'm serious-it was weird. I mean I know we can't without help-but it was-it freaked me out."

"Maybe you should talk to Mom-"

"Maybe-"

"Talk to Mom about what?" asks the redhead from the foot of the kitchen stairs.

"Where babies come from," deadpans Annie as she smiles at her twin.

"You'll pay for that one-" she swats at her sister.

Willow can't help but smile at the banter. "Talk to me Aly-"

"Later-after I take Katie home-"

"Got plans for later-porch?"

"That will work-" they go out the back door.

Annie continues to cook as Katie walks into the room. "Hey sleepy-"

"Morning-know where Aly is?"

"Talking to Mom on the porch-help me with breakfast till she gets back?"

"Sure-"

On the back porch Willow and Aly sit on the swing, "Why the question?"

"I had a dream-Katie and I were-" she stops then blushes.

"Got that part," she smiles.

"Then there was this baby-it said Mama-" Willow smiles at the image of a baby. "You think it means we'll get pregnant if we-"

"No-for us-it takes more than just the act."

"I get that-I.Q. of over 160-how much more?"

"A really strong connection, lots of Magicks, some exchange of words and a cleansing-and there's the blood."

"Okay so no accidental babies for Katie and me-"

"Think you're pretty safe on that front-but it doesn't mean there aren't consequences."

"Like-?"

"The things we talked about before. Make sure it's what you both want and talk to each other before-during and after." Aly nods. "So tonight's the night?"

"Yeah-that's the plan." Willow hugs her daughter, "You okay with it?"

"Not my decision-it's yours and Katie's. Just-just have fun and take it slow. Make memories-"

"Plan to-" Aly smiles as she thinks of the day and night. "I should get back inside but thanks."

"Anytime," says Willow as Aly stands and hugs her, then goes inside.

Kennedy and Willow are sitting under a tree on the coven grounds. They are in each other's arms kissing softly. "So when does the ritual start?"

"Right before sundown-with the cleansing," answers the redhead.

"I like that part-" says Kennedy. She again kisses her love-her hands caress soft skin. "This part too-"

"Cause you're a tease," smiles Willow.

"Never complained before," her lips slide down her jaw to her neck and then back up to kiss behind her ear.

Her love moans, "Not-complaining now-" their lips meet again.

At the lake Katie and Aly are lying on a blanket under the shade of a tree. Side by side they kiss softly-lips open and close in a steady rhythm. Aly's hand moves to Katie's face and she tracing her cheek with her fingers, "So beautiful Katie-" she whispers as she is pulled into another kiss.

Hours later Aly and Katie are dressed in shorts and bikini tops. They look out over the lake- "Think it's warm enough?" asks Katie.

"One way to find out-" smiles Aly.

"Push you in?" says Katie with a smile. Her hand on her girlfriend's back.

"No-throw you in-" and in one motion she picks up the girl and runs toward the water.

"You-you wouldn't-" protests Katie. "Aly please-" the young Slayer sets the girl down on her feet.

She leans in and kisses her girl's lips, "You're right I wouldn't."

At the coven Willow and Kennedy step into a large pool of water. They stand facing each other and start to slowly trail water over each other's body. The witches behind the curtains around them chant- "Hear us goddess-let the union be blessed-allow the witch and her Slayer to create life..." the words fade.

At the lake Katie and Aly stand in the water, they splash playfully getting each other wet as they try to get use to the cold. Aly finally grabs Katie's hands to stop the assault- she leans in and kisses her softly.

Now standing beside the bed Kennedy slowly undresses the redhead. As she does she kisses bare skin and teases her with soft words, "Soon-" she whispers.

Willow shivers with want and anticipation, as the Slayer removes the last of her clothes. "My turn," she pants as her hands begin to work the buttons on Kennedy's shirt.

Katie and Aly are now standing beside a fire, still in their shorts and bikini tops they kiss and caress. Aly's hands find the tie and slowly remove the top from her girl, "Okay?" asks Aly as she touches the buttons on the teenager's shorts. Her girl nods. She kneels in front of her and slides them down her tanned legs. Katie steps out of them-her hands go to Aly's as the young Slayer touches the last article of clothes- "We can wait-" she stands in front of her once again. They kiss softly-Aly's hands explore and caress-tantalizing bare skin. Aly's lips slide down her girl's neck and lick and nip the pulse point she finds there. As she pulls back she looks into Katie's love filled eyes- "Your turn."

Without hesitation Katie's hands find the tie on Aly's top and it falls to the ground. Her eyes settle on her girlfriend's breast and she licks her lips without realizing it. "I want-" she forces her eyes back to her Slayer's eyes, "Can I?" Aly simply nods and her hands find their way to Katie's hair as she takes one taut nipple between her teeth. Aly moans.

Willow and Kennedy are lying together in a large bed-behind the curtains the chanting continues, "Goddess hear us-bless the Slayer and her witch." Willow's hand traces a path down Kennedy's body teasing her driving her forward- her lips follow the same trail and Kennedy cries out as the redhead suckles gently at first the right and then the left breast.

Both teenager's are standing at the bed of the truck in only their panties-Aly climbs up and sits on the mattress. She reaches down and takes Katie's hand then pulls her up. They both move to the head of the bed and Aly whispers something-lighting the candles that line the frame of the truck. Katie smiles and turns on the soft music of the CD player. They turn to face each other- "How are you doing?" asks Katie as she lies down on her side.

"Not so nervous now," confesses Aly with a smile. She lies down beside her. At the same time they lean forward and lips meet. Katie wraps her arms around her young Slayer and moves her closer still. The kiss intensifies-lips and tongues caress and explore. Finally in need of air they pull apart. They kiss again softly-Aly's hand traces lightly against exposed skin-her fingers tease at Katie's bellybutton. Their eyes meet-and she sees Katie's fear. She slides her fingers back up Katie's body. She kisses her neck, then between her breasts-she smiles and looks up at her girl again as she hears her breath catch. "Okay?"

"Oh-yeah-" Katie's eyes close as Aly's lips move slightly right and capture a stiff peak between them. "Yes." Katie's hands hold the young Slayer's head in place.

As the ritual continues Kennedy and Willow still tease each other the power of their release important for the effect they desire. Willow pushes her Slayer to the edge but then reels her back not allowing her to fall. "Please-" begs Kennedy.

"Soon-" answers the redhead as her lips move lower, trailing kisses in her wake. Kennedy arches up trying to force contact where she needs it most but Willow presses the kiss to the inside of her thigh instead.

At the lake the teenagers are driving each other just as insane. Their slow deliberate acts have them both needing more. Katie hooks her thumbs in the waistband of Aly's panties and looks up at her girlfriend- "Okay?" Aly is able to only nod her voice lost momentarily. Katie slides the last article of clothing down Aly's legs as far as she can reach and the young Slayer removes them the rest of the way. Eyes meet again but soon Katie's eyes travel down Aly's body to rest on the one place she hasn't seen before. She can't help but smile. Aly's puts her hand on Katie's chin and rises her head slightly. "Sorry-" she says nervously.

"It's okay-" they kiss softly. Aly's hands move to Katie's hips and down to the top of her panties. She starts to speak but Katie speaks first.

"Only seems fair."

They kiss again as Aly's removes her girl's panties. The young Slayer slides down Katie's body to remove they from around her feet. Aly is now kneeling at her feet-she slowly lays herself down resting partly on Katie, bare skin touching fully for the first time. "Goddess-" moans the young Slayer.

Katie bites her bottom lip and closes her eyes at the contact. "Mmmm-" is all she is able to manage. The moans increase as hands begin to gently explore.

At the Langdon house Annie and Jake are sitting on the couch kissing, again both are shirtless. As they break for air Jake looks into her eyes, "I should go-"

"No-" she pouts, "It's early."

"I know but-here alone-not a good idea."

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm not ready to be a dad anymore than your mom wants to be a grandma."

"Meaning?" She looks at him unsure.

"It's hard to stop-so it's easier not to start."

"I don't understand-" says the young Slayer.

"Annie sometimes when we're-" he touches his lips to hers his hand slides down her body and rests on a bra covered breast. "I want you so much-" his eyes meet hers.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah-"

"But you said you weren't ready and -"

"I know-and I'm not-but sometimes-" he smiles.

She bites her bottom lip and thinks about her words. "We could-"

"No-we couldn't not yet-" he says.

She leans forward and kisses him softly, "Not yet but there's things we could do-" She moves onto his lap and straddles him. Her knees rest on the couch on either side of him. As she settles against him he moans and she can't help but smile at the hardness she finds beneath her. "Okay?"

"Annie-I-" he starts but his words are stopped by her lips on his. They kiss and his hands massage her breasts. She rocks against him in a steady rhythm. They both moan as their bodies race toward release. His hands move to her hips and he stops her. She looks in his eyes unsure-her skin flushed, her eyes wide-and he smiles. "Slow okay?"

She nods and leans her forehead against his. He raises her gently and she moves back to him. They keep the pace steady as they kiss again. He moves his lips to her neck and nips playfully as the rocking increases. He attaches his lips to her neck and she moans softly as he sucks harder, marking her for the first time. "Oh-goddess-" she cries as she feels herself begin to fall-his hands on her hips move her faster.

At the lake it is Aly who is moaning as she feels Katie's fingers tease her wet folds, "Please-baby-" she tries to form sentences, words that actually connect.

"Don't want to hurt you-" Katie measures her words as she forces herself to stay in control.

"Won't-please-just-" she raises her hips slightly and she feels Katie's fingers closer. Katie's lips meet hers and they kiss lost in the passion. As Katie enters her slowly for the first time she moans into her mouth.

Katie doesn't move-her finger is still- "Aly-?"

"Hmmm-" she tries to think- "I-I'm okay-" again she forces her hips up and Katie's finger slides farther. She begins to rock slowly against her lover's hand.

Finally convinced the young Slayer is ready she begins to match the rhythm of her movements. She presses soft kisses to Aly's neck and shoulder then moves lower and begins to suckle. "Goddess-" cries Aly her body overwhelmed by the stimulation it is experiencing.

At the coven it is Kennedy lost in the desires coursing through her. Willow's fingers and lips drive her closer. She cries out as she falls-shattered by the force of her release. Willow crawls up her lover's shuddering body and holds her Slayer tightly. Soft lips kiss wet skin as she starts the trip again. "Love you-" pants Kennedy her words barely audible.

"Love you-want me to show you again?" smiles the redhead.

"Oh yeah-" her eyes close and she bites her lips as Willow kisses a trail to her sex.

Annie and Jake are still moving together. "Jake-" she cries as she begins to shudder, her inner muscles triggering her release. "Jeeze-" she holds her tightly as she tries to regain control. Her breathing is fast, her words forced. "That was-"

He finishes for her- "Wow-"

"Hmmm-" she leans in and kisses him softly. Her movement making her realize that he is still hard. "You didn't-"

He smiles, "It's okay-" she moves against him and he groans. She begins the pace again only faster and her concern is just with him. After a few strokes he begins to mutter, "Yes-just like that-" her lips find his and she feels him explode. "Oh-Annie." He calls as he leans his forehead against hers.

At the lake Aly is on the edge-she bites her bottom lip as she feels her release building faster. She tastes the blood as she screams, "Katie!" and her body convulses as she is rocked by her orgasm. "Oh- goddess-" she struggles to slow her breathing. Katie keeps her fingers moving slowly as her lips find Aly's she tastes the blood and she is unsure but she kisses her gently. "Amazing-" manages the redheaded Slayer.

"Yeah?"

"Oh-yeah-feels-" her words fail her as she feels herself building again. She pulls her hand on Katie's shoulder and slides it down her body till it rests on her butt. "Turn over-" she is able to breath out.

"Not finished yet-" smiles Katie as she fingers pick up the pace unable to protest, Aly's eyes close and she is carried away.

The ritual continues the chanting gets louder the words are now faster matching the torrid pace set by the lovers. Willow and Kennedy are soaring to release together. "So close," breaths the redhead.

"Together baby-" responds Kennedy.

As fingers piston in and out they scream and release together. Their bodies lost, shattering- the words of the coven slow and again repeat their request. "Hear us Goddess-"

At the lake it is Aly and Katie who cry out together-both are shaking as they try to comfort each other. Wrapped around each other they struggle to control their breathing. "I love you-" pants Katie.

"Love you-" assures Aly. She is able to pull the blanket around them. "Wow-" whispers the Slayer. She presses a kiss to Katie's temple.

Annie and Jake are snuggled together on the couch. Their breathing has almost returned to normal. "You okay?" he asks softly.

"More then okay-" she confirms as she kisses his lips softly.

Aly is lying on her back looking up at the stars. Katie is on her side her head resting on Aly's shoulder. Arms wrapped around each other they rest. "Some night-huh?" asks Katie.

"Definitely-best night." Her fingers trace slow circles on her girl's shoulder.

Katie's hand starts the same pattern on her Slayer's stomach. As her hand trails lower she smiles at the sharp intake of breath she hears. "Okay?"

"Always okay-" answers Aly. Katie's fingers start to tease.

Jake is standing at the door Annie is holding his hand, "Stay" she says softly. "We can cuddle on the couch."

"Not a good idea." He kisses her softly. "But I'll see you tomorrow." She nods her understanding and lets his hand go. "I love you Annie."

"Yeah-love you too." She smiles as he goes out the door. As she closes it her smile fades.

The ritual continues and so do the witch and her Slayer. They kiss and caress driving each other forward again. "So close," breaths Kennedy and not for the last time this night.

The scene at the lake is much the same, Aly and Katie cry out together. Skin slick with sweat and bodies trembling they continue on. "I love you-" cries Aly as she falls again.

As the sun comes up the redhead and her Slayer are tangled together. Sleeping finally as the ritual is complete.

Across the lake the young Slayer and her lover are finally asleep as well. The young Slayer beneath her lover opens her eyes slowly and stretches carefully so she won't wake her. "Amazing," she whispers as her eyes close again and sleep takes her.

The Morning After
Kennedy smiles as she looks down at the redhead still sleeping in her arms. She presses a gentle kiss to her head. Her lover starts to stir- her eyes open slowly to meet the Slayer's. "Hey-" whispers the Slayer..

"Morning," smiles the witch. She stretches and groans slightly. "Owie-" she whines playfully.

Kennedy smirks slightly, "Sore?"

"Just a little-but worth it," she bites her bottom lip, "We made a baby." She leans in and kisses her softly.

"That was the plan-" confirms Kennedy as her hand glides down to rest on Willow's bare stomach.

Will's green eyes meet her love's, "Could be you-" her hand rests on the Slayer's toned tummy.

"It wouldn't upset you?"

"Nah-it doesn't matter who-in fact I wouldn't miss the morning sickness."

"Me neither-" they kiss softly. "Hungry?"

"Not really have other plans for now-food can wait," smiles the witch-her eyebrow raised. "Okay?"

"Definitely okay," assures Kennedy. Willow crawls on top of her Slayer and kisses her lips. Kennedy wraps her arms around her redhead and the kiss intensifies as lips open and close against lips and tongues seek entrance.

The morning sun has dried the dew from the field as Katie's eyes slowly open. She turns slightly and smiles at the young Slayer resting under her. She squeals as Aly rolls her onto her back and straddles her playfully. Without words she leans in and kisses her lover. As they break the kiss for much needed air Katie speaks, "Ummm-nice way to wake up-" she leans up and their lips meet again.

"Yeah-not complaining." She turns to her side and spoons the teenager into her. "And last night-again with the wow."

"I'll see that wow and raise you an amazing-" smiles Katie as she turns in Aly's arms and kisses her lips softly. As she pulls back their eyes meet, "No second thoughts?"

"Second thoughts-" she smiles- "No-well yes-wondering why we're still talking when we could be-" her words stop and she blushes slightly as she raises an eyebrow.

Katie forces away a smile, "Could be what?" she asks teasingly. Enjoying the slightly darker shade of red her words cause Aly's skin to turn.

"Well-I-you know-" sputters Aly.

Katie bites her lip and keeps the giggles at bay, still pretending not to get it. "Know?"

Flustered but determined the young Slayer tries again, she takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. Her eyes drop and with teasing fingers she brings a hand from Katie's shoulder across her collarbones and between her breasts. She looks back to find Katie's eyes on her and her breathing slightly more erratic. "We could-again-make love."

"Ummm-okay-" replies Katie as Aly's hand drifts lower and their lips meet. As the kiss escalates and teeth nip and tongues caress, Aly's fingers slip between soft folds and Katie moans-the young Slayer smiles.

Aly teases then finally slides two fingers home. Katie moans but not in a good way. "Katie-?" Aly pulls back and her hand stills.

"It's-it's okay-" she is the one now blushing. She bucks against the young Slayer's fingers and cries out again.

Aly removes her fingers and fights the tears now forming. "I hurt you?" Concern in her voice-eyes searching Katie's for the truth.

"No-no-I'm just a little sore but it happens." She smiles and kisses Aly's lips but the teenager is not convinced.

"But I'm not-" her words stop.

Katie smiles, "Slayer healing-has its advantages."

"I guess-" Katie's hand moves to Aly's bare skin and starts to tease. Kissing the young Slayer she rolls her onto her back and deepens the kiss as her hands continue to explore. "Okay-definitely." She moans as hands caress her breasts followed by lips. As lips nip and play, then finally suckle- Katie's hand moves down to soft curls. "Ummm-" Katie smiles as she kisses Aly's toned tummy.

"Like that?" She questions as fingers tease-

"Please?" begs Aly as she raises her hips trying to force more contact. Not able to refuse Katie's fingers slide inside, "Oh-goddess," cries the young Slayer as they start a steady rhythm together.

Faith is just getting out of bed. She checks bedrooms to find sleeping children scattered in the floor of her daughter's room. She smiles and starts to the kitchen as she does she hears a knock on the door and walks toward it. She opens it to find Annie standing there- "Hey teen Slayer-what are you doing up so early?"

"Can we talk?"

"Talk?-Yeah-come on in." They walk into the kitchen and Faith looks at the girl concerned. "What's up?"

"Last night-I did something really stupid." She fights tears threatening to fall. "Jake and I-we-"

"Had sex?"

"No-but-" the tears fall.

Unsure now of the problem Faith puts her arms around the young Slayer and hugs her. "Hey-whatever it is-it's okay, or it will be. Talk to me."

At Faith's later the once dark Slayer and Annie are sitting in the kitchen at the counter still talking. Faith is drinking coffee and Annie has juice. "I don't know how to tell him that-it was too-I'm not ready."

"Just like you told me."

"And if he gets mad?"

"Then screw him," says Faith trying to keep her anger in check. Annie raises an unsure eyebrow. "Not literally-I mean just tell him to take a hike."

"But I love him-"

"Yeah I get that and if he loves you he'll back off. If he doesn't then he's not worth it kid."

"I guess-"

"Don't guess-know."

"Right-I know you're right." Faith smiles a sad smile. "Thanks-"

"Anytime-"

"Do me a favor," the Slayer nods, "Don't say anything to Mama-let me."

"You got it." assures Faith. Annie nods and stands. "Stay for breakfast?"

"Nah-I should go see him."

"You should eat first-a Slayer with an empty stomach is never a good thing."

"True-" she smiles, "Okay." Faith stands and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Can we have pancakes?"

"Rounds or funny shapes?"

"Katie!" Screams Aly as she falls again. The teenager holds her Slayer tightly-her fingers moving gently now as she watches her struggle to control her breathing as her body trembles. "Goddess-" she breaths out as Katie kisses her shoulder as fingers cause yet another explosion as they curl slightly and brush against new places. "Katie-I-" she is lost again, unable to continue with words.

"Willow!" Cries her Slayer as she trembles-her release causing her body to shake uncontrollably. The redhead crawls back up her lover's body and strokes sweat slicked skin as she tries to help her calm.

"I've got you baby," she says softly as she kisses her temple.

Kennedy's ragged breathing begins to slow, "Love you-"

Willow smiles, "I love you-" she snuggles into her Slayer. "Sleep-"

"Ummm-" is her only reply as her breathing relaxes even more and she drifts off.

Annie knocks on the door at the Evans' house. Jake opens it and smiles, "Hey-I tried to call you."

"I had breakfast with Faith-"

"Come on in-"

"Nah-you come out."

"Something wrong?"

"I just-we need to talk."

"Okay-just come in while I tell Mom we're going to the park." She nods and steps inside.

Willow and Kennedy are standing outside with the members of the coven. "Thank you again," says the redhead.

"An honor as always Willow-"

Kennedy speaks, "Any hints for us?"

"I thought it was to be a surprise?"

"It is," assures Willow as she gives her love a stern look.

"Sorry-" smiles the Slayer.

"Patience-" says one of the witches.

"Working on that," admits Kennedy.

Willow wraps an arm around her and kisses her softly, "And you're doing much better."

"Thank you-" she smiles.

"Have a safe trip," offers a coven member. Willow nods and they start toward the car.

Annie and Jake are sitting in swings side by side. "Talk to me Annie-did I do something-"

"No-no it was me. Last night-I shouldn't have," her words stop.

He stands and moves in front of her. He kneels down so that he is at eye level. "Last night was-"

"Nice and I-but it can't happen again."

He looks confused, "Why?"

"I just-it was-I can't. I'm sorry I'm not ready for the-what it make s me feel-it's too much." She cries slightly but brushes the tears away.

"What you felt-what I felt, it's not wrong Annie."

"I know it's not wrong-but it's too soon."

"I don't understand-"

"I need to back up a few steps-I need time."

"But you-last night was your idea."

"I know but I-I made a mistake. I can't deal with-I'm sorry."

He struggles with his feelings, he fights not to sound angry or confused but he is, "I'm sorry too-but I don't want to go in reverse."

Annie stands and he does as well, "Then we just stop."

"Are you saying you want us to be over?"

She shakes her head, "Want us over-no-but given the choices-then there really isn't one. I'm sorry." she turns with tears streaming down her face and walks away. He stands unmoving-

Aly and Katie are finally dressed, Aly is loading the last of the things into the truck while Katie feeds the last of the bread to the ducks. She smiles as she feels arms circle her waist. "We ready?"

"I guess," says Aly as she presses a kiss to her lover's temple. "Don't really want to go-"

"Yeah-but we'll come back," assures Katie.

"Last night-this morning-Katie I-" her words stop.

"I get it-again with the wow." She turns in her arms and kisses her softly.

"More than that-I felt-what you made me feel-"

"Me too-" The moment is broken by the growl of the young Slayer's tummy. "Come on-can't have my Slayer starving on me."

"I am-" says Aly softly.

"I know I heard the growl-y tummy," her hand slips to rest there.

"Not what I mean." Katie looks unsure. "I am your Slayer-yours."

Katie leans in and kisses her lips softly, as she breaks the kiss she leans her forehead against Aly's. "Me too-only you."

Baby, Baby-Who's Having a Baby?
A few weeks later Kennedy lies in bed watching her redhead sleep face down beside her. She traces small circles on Willow's shoulder impatiently waiting for her to wake up. Slowly her love's eyes flicker- "Mmmm-morning." She smiles and turns to snuggle against her Slayer.

"How do you feel-tummy rumbly?" asks Kennedy.

"Don't think so-" she sits up slowly waiting for nausea to hit. "Nope sorry. You?"

"Nothing-it's been weeks Will-what if it didn't work?"

"It always has sweetie," she kisses her Slayer's lips.-"Maybe we're worrying about it too much?"

"I guess-" admits Kennedy though she is still disappointed. "I hate waiting."

"I know. Come 'ere-" she leans forward and kisses her again. "I think I can take your mind off that for awhile." She raises her eyebrows suggestively.

"Yeah-" She bites her bottom lip. "Could be-" they kiss again and as they do Willow pulls the Slayer onto her lap.

Later that day Annie lies on her bed staring up at the ceiling. She hears a soft knock on the door; she looks that direction to see her mama there. "Whatcha doing?"

"Nothing-"

"Still no call from Jake-huh?"

"No-this sucks Mama-I really like him." Kennedy sits beside her on the bed. "Maybe I should have-"

"Hey-no-you make your decisions he doesn't.-Got that?"

"I know I just-" she starts to cry. Kennedy wraps her arms around her and rocks her trying to calm her daughter.

Another soft knock gets the attention of both. They look to see Willow, "Annie-Jake's downstairs."

Kennedy stands and starts for the door but is stopped by Willow's hand on her shoulder, "Sweetie-"

"I'm just gonna-"

"No-" this time the voice is Annie. "I need to do this."

"You sure?" asks Willow. "I can tell him to come back-"

"Now's good-but just so you know. If he wants to try again-" her words stop but she starts again as she stands and wipes her eyes. "But the rules are still mine." Her parents smile and nod as she leaves the room.

"She'll be okay-" assures Willow.

"Yeah-she's strong like you." Kennedy kisses her softly.

Out in the backyard the teenagers sit on the bench. "I'm sorry-" he says, his eyes on the ground.

"You've said that-it's all you've said for two weeks. Why are you here?"

"I miss you-" he admits as he raises his eyes to meet hers.

"Yeah-?" He nods- "I miss you but it changes nothing Jake."

"Look I screwed up-I know that. Don't I get another chance?"

She is the one to look down this time. She battles tears and then wipes them away as she loses. "Jake-"

"Please Annie-please?"

She nods slowly and hugs him to her. They cry together as Willow and Kennedy watch from the window.

A few days later Aly and Katie are kissing on the porch as the sunsets. "I should go-" says the teenager softly. Her fingers trace light patterns on Aly's back.

"Come inside for awhile? It's early-"

Katie smiles, "I need to study big test tomorrow."

"I'll help you-"

"You'd try but I'd be distracted." She leans in and kisses her again. As they break the kiss she rests her forehead on Aly's. "I'll call you later."

"Fine," she pouts.

"Make you a deal-"

"I'm listening-" says the young Slayer but her fake pout remains.

"Tonight I study and this weekend we do anything you want."

"Anything?"

"Anything," Katie repeats.

"Miniature golf?"

Katie rolls her eyes, "If you want."

"But you hate it-"

"I said anything, a deals a deal-if you want to play that goofy game I'll go."

"And not complain?" Aly smiles.

"And not a word-okay?"

"Okay-" she kisses her lover softly. "Goodnight Katie."

"Night-I love you Aly."

"I love you." They kiss again and it escalates quickly. Soon tongues caress tongues and both girls moan. Katie pulls back. The young Slayer smiles- "See you at school."

"See you-" she walks off the porch and Aly watches her drive away.

The week flies by and no baby news for the Langdons. On Saturday morning Kennedy softly wraps her arms around Willow's waist as she fixes pancakes. "It's not me-" she says softly."

It takes a few minutes to realize what Kennedy means then she understands. She turns and hugs her tightly then presses a kiss to her forehead. "I'm sorry-"

"Me too-" she admits. She takes a deep breath and forces a smile. "But at least now we know." The redhead smiles and chews on her bottom lip. Kennedy kisses her softly. "Why don't you crawl back in bed and I'll bring breakfast up. We can celebrate."

"Like that idea-" they kiss again and she goes toward the stairs. "Kennedy?" Her Slayer looks up at her- "I love you."

She smiles, "I love you-now out of here-let me pamper you." Willow nods and goes up the stairs.

Later that afternoon Aly and Katie are driving toward the miniature golf course. Aly can't keep the smile from her face. Katie shakes her head, "You're loving this aren't you?"

"Honestly-yes," nods the young Slayer.

"Tell me we're not really doing this?"

"You said anything-"

"Anything true-and you pick mini golf?"

"What's wrong with miniature golf?"

Deciding on a new approach, "Nothing if it's what you really want to do-then I'll live."

"Good to hear-" she turns left onto a busy road.

"The course is the other way."

"I found a different one."

"Oh-goody," says Katie as she rolls her eyes playfully.

Aly takes her hand and their fingers entwine, "I think you'll like the new place better." She smiles.

Jake and Alex are playing chess. The younger kids are playing board games. Annie is getting ready for their date. Willow walks over to the boys. "How's the game?"

"He's killing me-" says Jake, "like always.

"Checkmate-" says the boy as he smiles at the teenager. "Wanna play again?"

"I need to talk to Jake for a minute," states the witch. "Later okay?"

"Sure Mom." He stands and goes to play with the other kids.

Willow looks at the teenaged boy in front of her. "We need to talk."

"Okay-I figured I'd be having this conversation a lot sooner and with Kennedy."

"So you think Kennedy's the parent you should worry about?" He looks at her nervously unsure of how to respond. "Trust me when I tell you that you're wrong."

"I'm not gonna hurt her."

"You already have-" she pauses, then speaks her voice causes Jake to shiver in fear. "And you better not again."

Before he can reply Annie comes jogging down the stairs. "Hey-" she smiles.

"Hey-" he forces a smile back.

She kisses him on the cheek, "Everything okay?"

"Great-sure-let's get out of here. Burgers okay or would you rather have pizza?"

"You pick-"

"No-you." He looks towards Willow.

Annie looks at her mom and with her silent words asks, 'You said something to him?'

'Would I do that?'

"Burgers, Jake come on-" she pulls the nervous teenager from the room and the witch smiles.

She feels arms around her waist, "What did you do to him?"

"Nothing-" she smiles.

"Okay what did you say to him?"

"Just he shouldn't hurt her again-"

"Or?"

"We didn't get to a specific or-Annie came down but I'm sure his mind is picturing things far worse then I could have come up with." She smiles.

"You're terrible."

"You love it-so don't even."

"True-" they both smile.

Aly pulls the truck onto a dirt road. "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see," smiles the young Slayer.

"Alyson?"

"What? It's a surprise, be patient."

"Fine-if it means no miniature golf," smiles her lover.

"No golf-" admits the teenager.

"Yea!" Smiles Katie as she playfully applauds. A few seconds later Aly turns onto yet a smaller road, "Are kidnapping cause if you are-not necessary. I'll go anywhere with you."

Aly smiles, "Good to know-" she leans over and kisses her then turns her eyes back to the road. After a few more minutes of off road driving the young Slayer looks at her girlfriend. "Close your eyes."

"Do I have to?"

Aly stops the truck and smiles, "Only if you want your surprise."

"Fine-you win," smiles Katie.

Aly kisses her again and watches as the teenager's eyes close. "No peeking."

"Right-" she instantly opens one eye.

"I saw that!"

"Just playing-they're closed now." Aly checks to be sure then drives on. After only a mile or so the lake comes into view and Aly can't help but smile. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost-" a few more yards and she stops the truck, turning the engine off. "Keep your eyes closed." She gets out and goes around to the passenger side and opens Katie's door. She puts her hands around her waist and lifts her from the truck. She squeals. "What?" she sets her down and smiles.

"Warn me when you're gonna sweep me off my feet-" she smiles.

"I'll try to remember." Taking her hand she leads her to the edge of the water. "Listen-" says Aly. "Tell me what you hear."

Katie takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly as she relaxes and tries to take in the surroundings. "The wind and birds-ducks?" She questions as she makes a face.

Aly smiles, "Yeah-ducks-open your eyes." Katie opens her eyes slowly and a smile shines across her face as she sees the lake. "Thought you wouldn't mind spending the day here. I mean I know you had your heart set on miniature-" before she can finish the sentence Katie's lips are on hers and the kiss is instantly intense. As they pull apart for air Aly smiles-her arms around her girlfriend, "So this is okay?"

"Most definitely okay-you're amazing-" says Katie.

"Yeah?"

"Oh yeah-"

"Come 'ere-" whispers the young Slayer and their lips meet again. As lips caress, hands begin to explore and work their way under clothes to bare skin. Aly leans her forehead against Katie's and breaks the kiss the girl whines. "Lunch first-"

"Lunch can wait-don't sure I can." Katie kisses her lips and then slides her mouth to Aly's neck. She licks and nips there playfully causing her young Slayer to moan. "Okay?" she whispers.

"Whatever you want-" responds Aly her breathing already erratic.

"I want you-" admits Katie. Her lips begin to caress bare skin but Aly pulls away-her lover looks confused. "You don't want?"

"Trust me I do but-" she takes her hand and leads her back to the truck. Katie watches as Aly gets two blankets and a picnic basket from behind the seat. Katie takes the blankets and her young Slayer's hand. "I found a place-more private." They walk around the truck toward a stand of trees.

At the Langdon house Willow is fixing dinner. She looks a little pale as Annie walks in. "You okay Mom?"

The redhead smiles, "I'll be fine-"

"Want me to finish the salad?"

"That would be great, thanks." Annie smiles and goes to the refrigerator and gets the ingredients she needs. At the counter she begins to tear the lettece and puts it in the bowl. Before she starts cutting the other vegetables, she looks back at her mom. "You sure you're okay? You don't look so good." She sees the redhead start to wobble and gets to her just as she falls. She catches her mom and yells- "Mama!" She carries her mom toward the stairs just as Kennedy runs down them. "Mama-she just-"

"It's okay-" she takes the woman from the young Slayer. "Get me a wet rag-and ah-some ice and crackers-an-and ginger ale." Annie begins gathering the things her mama asks for as Kennedy carries the redhead up the stairs.

In the secluded grove at the lake Aly is spooned protectively around her girlfriend. She presses a soft kiss to the girl's bare shoulder. She whispers, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah-" she bites her lip as she feels Aly's fingers tease the skin of her tummy. "Mmmm-"

"Like that?"

"Know I do-" her eyes close as the fingers move lower.

"Okay?" she seeks permission before moving her fingers to soft wet folds.

"Always-" whispers the teenager as Aly begins to explore. Katie moans softly-leaning her head back to rest on Aly's shoulder. Their lips meet as the rhythm begins. Soon Aly's lips move to the girl's pulse point.

Willow is now in bed-Kennedy is sitting beside her feeding her little bites of cracker, "I'm okay-I just light-headed." She tries to reassure her Slayer.

"We're making an appointment tomorrow-"

"Tomorrow's Sunday-" she takes her Slayer's hand. "Relax sweetie-this is how it always is remember?"

Kennedy tries to remember-but her mind won't leave now and redhead feeling badly. She presses a kiss to her forehead. "Stay in bed-"

Willow smiles, "You stay too?" she raises an eyebrow suggestively.

"No-and none of that-"

"Excuse me?" Willow's eyes meet her Slayer's. "Kennedy-I'm pregnant not dying-we can still have sex."

Annie is smiling at the doorway- "Pregnant?"

"Ah-" the redhead blushes as she looks up at the teenager. "We think-haven't seen a doctor yet."

"We could buy a test-"

"Test?" Kennedy's look turns serious. "You know this how?"

"Mama-I'm almost seventeen and I have friends-"

"Who thought they might be pregnant?" Kennedy asks.

"Yeah-but she wasn't, just a false alarm," assures Annie.

Willow starts, "You and Jake aren't-"

Annie interrupts with a resounding-"Mom-we're not-both feet firmly on second base," she assures them. "So can we skip the sex talk?"

"This once-cause my head really hurts," admits the redhead. Kennedy moves to the head of the bed and begins to rub her temples.

"Think I'll go finish dinner-" she smiles as she goes out the door.

Kennedy presses a kiss to the top of Willow's head, "Better?"

"Yeah-" her eyes close as she starts to drift off to sleep.

As darkness settles on the lake Katie and Aly are walking hand-in-hand to the truck. "Good day?" asks Aly as they reach the truck.

Katie smiles, "Think I would rather have played miniature golf."

Aly pokes her shoulder playfully, "Really?-" She wraps the girl in her arms and pins her to the truck tickling her.

"No-I'm teasing-don't-it's not fair-you're stronger," she whines and then pouts playfully.

"Look-" she points up at the stars-first star of the night. Make a wish-" whispers Aly.

"Don't need one-I got you," she leans in and kisses the girl softly. Aly puts her hands on Katie's hip as the kiss deepens.

The next morning Willow is in the bathroom throwing up-Kennedy is holding her hair out of her face. "I hate this-"

"I know-" she hands the redhead a wet cloth to wipe her face.

Down the hall in the twins room Annie opens her eyes to see Aly sitting on her bed. "You okay?"

"Not sure-my heads all spinny-"

She stands and walks to her sister, putting her hand on her shoulder, "Sit still I'll get Mama." Annie walks into the hallway and as she does a wave of nausea hits her- "Not good-" she runs toward the bathroom.

As Willow and Kennedy start back toward their bed they see Kara in the doorway. "Mama Annie's throwing up-" the mere words send Willow back to her bathroom in a run.

Before Kennedy gets to the hallway she and Kara are met by Alex, "Mama Aly's sick."

"Sick?"

"She just said get you and then she yacked in the floor," he states matter-of-factly as he goes back towards his room. Kennedy looks unsure-she decides to check on Annie first since the bathroom is closer. When she gets there she finds both girls kneeling in front of the toilet.
