Title: A Walk in the Clouds/ Getting the Bugs Out 2/?

______________________

"I'm sorry honey I- I just. I get worried" Buffy tried to cover up the fact that she really had no idea what was going on aside from waking up with a naked and very pregnant Willow.

Who was currently pissed like only a redhead could be.

"You don't touch me anymore" Willow ticked off on her fingers "the only thing we've agreed on lately are plans for the baby, you kiss my belly more than my lips" Willow set her resolve face firmly. Her lips in a tight straight line and her eyes boring into Buffy's "I'm beginning to think you don't want me" turning on her heel as tears flooded her eyes and ran down her cheeks Willow strode angrily from the room "Come on Corky"

"Corky?" Buffy whispered.

A little black and brown Chihuahua bolted from under the bed. Turning before it followed Willow out the door it 'yipped' at Buffy and bounced off.

"I have a Chihuahua named Corky?" Buffy coughed indignantly making a disgusted face "Vaya where are you?"

"Right here. And that 'thing' belongs to Willow. You gave it to her when you first started dating"

Buffy turned to find Vaya leaning up against the window sill reading from the tiny spiral notebook "Ok. So I'm married to Willow?"

Vaya nodded "Yep"

"We're having a baby?" Buffy sat on the bed and glared at the little guide.

"Oh yeah" Vaya smiled knowingly and waggled her brows.

"Who's the daddy? Because as far as I know modern medicine hasn't quite made that break through" drawing her feet up onto the bed Buffy crossed her arms around her bent legs and settled her chin on her knees.

"Modern Medicine hasn't gone that far. But Magick has" Vaya sighed when all Buffy gave her was a confused look "How do you think the Amazons stayed alive and thrived for so long?"

"Drugging men from villages they attacked and having their way with them?" Buffy guessing whining a little at the end. She had a hopeful look and a weak smile on her face "But I'm guessing that's so wrong"

"Yeah it is. And that's 'way' too much Xena for you" Vaya tsked and swept her fingers.

"No such thing as too much Xena" Buffy mumbled into her knee. She bit her lip hoping not to laugh.

"What?" Vaya looked around. She could see the humor dancing in the slayers eyes but had no idea what she was laughing at.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Buffy managed between chuckles.

Vaya looked down at herself "Eugh" she squealed when she saw the frilly pink dress that was all puffs and lace she was wearing "I hate my job" Grasping the ends of the dress she began ripping it off in shreds. The pink pieces waved slowly to the floor only to disappear once they hit.

Buffy was rolling along the bed laughing into her hands. Taking deep breaths to calm herself she once again faced Vaya who now wore a simple black sheath, and some very gothic makeup "It's an improvement"

"I try" Vaya batted her dark eye lashes "Now sorry about the whole clueless thing. There's a few bugs to work out, so I'm gonna be right next to you the whole time" leaning back Vaya began to weave her jet black hair into elbow length braids.

"You look like Wednesday from the Addams Family" Buffy sniffed scrunching her face up and looking like a bunny.

"Hmm" Vaya smirked "Now I gotta brief you on this reality. You ready?"

Buffy nodded becoming serious "I'm all ears"

Willow paced off her anger, ranting frantically to the dog about Buffy's recent shortcomings.

"I mean Corky I understand she thinks I'm delicate but I'm not made of glass" Willow ceased her pacing to tap an impatient foot "Am I ugly to her now or something?"

Corky whined apologetically, as she slowly wagged her tail.

"No. She always tells me I'm beautiful. Or is she lying? Buffy doesn't lie to me. Do you think she's lying?" Willow threw herself onto the soft couch curling up into a ball.

Corky climbed onto the redheads hip and lay across her torso. "Rumf" she growled through her nose.

"Me neither" Willow smiled wanly her lip trembling as she considered her dog "I just want something more from her. Just because I'm-" she stopped speaking when she heard the stairs creak as Buffy slowly ascended.

"Hello Buffy" Willow turned her face away finding something 'really' interesting to look at in their kitchen.

"Willow I'm sorry. I know I've been apologizing alot lately. I really do love you" Buffy moved to kneel at Willow's side ignoring the soft growls Corky was sending her way "I'm working on it baby. I just want to be careful"

"I don't think you want me anymore. Because I'm fat" Willow motioned to her slightly distended belly still not meeting the slayers eyes.

"No baby your beautiful, and you're not fat, and I do want you" Buffy swallowed "Baby and all. You're everthing I've ever wanted"

"Nuh uh. You wanted Faith too" Willow faced her suddenly, anger burning brightly in her eyes "Is that it? Do you have Faith now so you don't need fat old me?" Willow shook her head furiously, bringing her long red hair to cover her tearfilled eyes "It's Faith isn't it?"

'Faith?' Buffy turned her lost frown on Vaya.

Vaya quickly flipped through her notebook only to discard it for another. She looked up suddenly her face a mask of surprise as she nodded that Buffy had indeed dated Faith for a short time before Willow.

"She believes you finally got Faith. That Faith is who you really want and she's just getting in the way" Vaya read quickly "It started again right after she got pregnant. Insecurities and stuff when Faith's around"

"No baby. I don't want her. What could she possibly give me that you haven't already?" Buffy tried to touch Willow's face only to have her jerk away and Corky nip at her fingers.

Glaring at the dog she picked her up off her weeping wife and set her on the floor "Beat it mutt" she growled.

Corky scampered off with her tail between her legs.

Willow choked on a sob and her body began to shake.

"Wills look at me?" Buffy questioned softly. When Willow gave nothing not even and a quickly glance Buffy tried again "Willow look at me" she stated firmly.

Willow snapped her attention to her wife. The tone Buffy had used never failed to gain her attention, and turn her on.

"I love you. I'm in love with you. Faith has nothing to give me. I don't want anything from her. Everything I've ever wanted or dreamed about, you've given me" Buffy took Willow's wet cheeks in her hands "I'd die for you. I'd kill every monster that even 'thinks' of harming you or our baby. You're my life Wills"

Fresh tears sprang to Willow's eyes and Buffy continued to speak softly to her.

"Everything good and light in me, is because of you. I don't know what I'd do without you" Buffy too had tears running down her face "I don't wanna know if I could live without you. You're my life baby"

"Then make love to me" Willow demanded.

Buffy paled, her mouth opened and closed but no words emerged.

"Why?" Willow cried turning her face away again.

"Willow" Buffy directed her wifes gazed back her way by turning her by her cheeks "It's not that I don't want you, I'm just-"

"Nervous?" Willow interrupted "Buffy you haven't been nervous touching me since I seduced you in high school" Willow settled her resolve face on.

Buffy was at a loss for words for long moments. So she said the first thing that came to mind.

"My god you're beautiful"

Pulling Willow in she placed their lips firmly together and proceeded to kiss her in every way she knew how.

Willow opened her lips allowing Buffy entrance. Sucking the slayers tongue into her mouth she played every ploy she knew made Buffy hungry for more.

And it was working.

Buffy moaned deep in her throat and pulled herself up onto the couch. Spreading Willows legs down and out she settled between them and began to work her way under the sides of the robe Willow had pulled on before storming angrily from their room.

Vaya turned her back and slowly made her way from the room. Not that Buffy knew she was there anymore.

"Hellooooooooooo" Xander's voice rang out.

Startled both women bolted upright and away from each other as Xander danced his way into their home.

"So. Making out on the couch" Xander nodded giving them the 'way to go' snap and point "Nice"

"And to think you ruined it all" Buffy snarked at him climbing off Willow and pulling the heavily breathing woman into her lap.

"Hey don't stop on my account" Xander smiled his ever goofy smile "Just let me get a camcorder-"

He squealed like a girl as a barage of pillows struck him. Some actually coming back for a second hit "I was kidding. I was kidding. You know 'haha' joke right? Come on Will!"

Buffy laughed hysterically as she watched her lover rise from her lap and control the pillows assaulting Xander.

The poor man ducked and doged only to be hit with 3 pillows for every 1 he dodged.

"I've warned you about those comments Xander" Willow spoke calmly as the pillow picked up their pace "It's very disrespectful right?"

"Yes!" Xander dropped to the floor on his knees and steepled his hands "and I'll never do it again"

"That's what you said last time" Willow circled around him stopping the pillows for the moment "It's getting harder and harder to believe you"

"I can behave. But it's hard. Two of the hottest girls I know, doin' the horizontal mambo" Xander gave Willow his best Snoopy smile "This is the stuff dreams are made of"

"Well keep them to yourself" Willow kicked him once. Right in the tailbone.

"Eeep!" Xander jumped. He sighed when it was the only blow she made before settling back on Buffy's lap.

After a moment of looking pitiful Xander got to his feet "So does this mean no camcorder?"

Willow let the pillows fly.

______________________

"Your sister is in her last year of high school" Vaya stole yet another carrot from the tray Willow was making. She knew Buffy would get blamed for it "Has a good shot at being accepted to Yale"

Buffy smiled at the one sided conversation.

"She's also got some kinda secret boyfriend. You don't know who it is" Vaya hopped onto the center island in Willow's immaculate white kitchen and stole some fresh brocoli "Red here might though"

"Willow do you know who Dawnie's little secret friend is?" Buffy sweetened her oice hoping if her wife knew she'd tell her "I want to meet this guy. I mean Dawn's been sneaking off to see him for what?" she turned to Vaya for help.

"Three years" Vaya stuffed another carrot into her mouth.

"Three years and we have yet to meet him" Buffy looked up into a loving eyes of her redheaded little wife.

"I promised her Buffy. I can't tell you" Willow leaned in and placed a kiss on Buffy's nips. Nipping them lightly she hoped to distract the slayer. She wondered if she should bother to tell her that Dawn's secret friend wasn't a 'he'.

'Oh so she does know' Buffy nuzzled Willow's mouth with her's and dropped an eskimo kiss "Just a little hint?"

"Sorry baby. A promise is a promise" Willow turned back around. She always got nervous when Buffy questioned her about Dawn's life. "She's eighteen now. She only has to tell us what she wants us to know"

"But she started dating this guy when she was fifteen" Buffy exaggerated the age "We should alteast know his name don't you think?"

"I know the name" Willow gave Buffy a tight lipped smile, her eyes sparkling.

"And you waited 'til NOW to tell me this?" Buffy raised her voice as she stood up and faced Willow head on "I'm her sister I have a right to know"

"I'm her sister too now remember? One big happy family" Willow challenged back. She'd long since learned to stand up to the slayer who's very name placed fear into many a demon.

"Having the Dawn fight again?" Giles appeared in the doorway.

Buffy and Willow both turned to face the man.

'He's aged nicely' Buffy smiled at her surrogate father. Noticing he was walking with a cane she looked away guiltily as Vaya's words flew into her ears only.

"He was attacked by a demon. You and Faith were too busy making out to answer the phone when he called for your help. He probably would be dead today if it hadn't been for Willow. It was right after that incident you two revealed your relationship"

"Oh Buffy do get over it. Everyone makes mistakes" Giles walked strongly on his own using the cane only to sit and balance more than to actually walk "I forgave you that night. It's about time you forgave yourself. I will not have my grand daughter born to a mother with a guilty conscience" Giles spoke to her as British as he could manage after living nearly 9 years in the states.

"Ok. I'm trying. Besides I have a few more months to perfect it" Buffy truly smiled at him and moved to hug him.

Giles allowed it. Even brushing a fatherly kiss on her blond head "That you do"

"G-man, how'zit" Xander strode into the kitchen cracking his knuckles.

"It's quite well" Giles rolled his eyes at the young man "Did you finally fix that leak in the basement?"

"Yeah" Xander had the decency to blush.

"Dawn's home" Willow finished pouring in the dip into the center of the veggie platter.

"Hey guys!" Dawn called as the door slammed shut behind her.

"Dawnie! My favorite barely legal brunette" Xander scooped the tall thin teen into a bear hug.

"Xander. My big huggy guy person. Did you finally fix that leak?" Dawn punched him when he finally sat her on her feet.

Xander scoffed "Yeah. Why else would I be here?"

"For the girl-on girl action you see everytime the love birds are in the same room" Dawn plucked a carrot from the tray "Buffy's been eating off this"

Willow glanced down to see much of the veggies were in fact eaten "Buffy Anne" she spoke through clenched teeth.

"I- I but I-" Buffy narrowed her eyes on Vaya's laughing form behind Willow "I'm eating in sympathy for two."
