A/N: This is AU, but age wise probably 6th season. Willow is a junior in college. Tara and Willow broke up, but Tara never died. Willow never got addicted to magic. Oh, there is also no Spuffy.

Before Sam and Willow could even get to the door it was thrown open

"Willow!" Willow quickly found her arms full of the littlest Summers.

"Dawnie, baby. It's good to see you too, sweetie."

Dawn pulled away from Willow and turned to Sam. "Why are you here?" She asked bluntly.

Willow rolled her eyes. "Dawn. Be nice. Sam's here cause he's my friend. And for other reasons that we'll get into later. Come on, let's go inside. I want to see everybody." As Dawn headed in, Willow and Sam lagged behind a bit. She smiled at him, then looked down at her stomach, laying her hand on it. She hadn't begun to show yet, but she knew she would soon. She was excited and nervous at the same time. But for now, all she was really worried about was going inside and telling her friends.

Sam placed his hand on the small of Willow's back, and guided her into the house. He took a step back, as she was immediately surrounded by her old friends.

"Wills!" Xander hugged her tightly. He had just seen her a few weeks ago, but it seemed like a lot longer. He still wasn't use to not seeing his best friends everyday. As soon as Xander let go, Buffy hugged Willow, then it was Giles' turn.. Even Anya wanted a hug.

After all the hugs were finished, Willow introduced Sam to Buffy, Anya and Giles, as the other Scoobies had met him in D.C. As soon as Willow had said his name, Buffy had scowled.

"Wait a minute. *This* is Sam? As in, jerky guy you slept with Sam?" She took a few steps towards him.

Willow stepped in-between the Slayer and Sam. "Buffy, listen. Sam and I have worked everything out. We're fine now. In fact, we've decided to start seeing each other."

Everyone looked a little taken aback, but they seemed happy that Willow had found someone to make her happy.

Willow cleared her throat. "That's not all though. There is a definite reason for my visit. I didn't want to tell you over the phone, or have you hear it from the press. Gosh, I nervous. I don't know how to tell you guys this. I mean, it's good news, but if you look at it a different way, it might not be. I mean I hope that you'll be happy for me, but I'll understand if your concerned. I'm a little concerned myself, actually so...."

Xander couldn't help but smile. He had missed Willow's babbling. "It's okay, Wills. Just tell us what's going on."

Sam came and stood behind Willow. He put his hands on her shoulders, showing his support. She turned and smiled up at him, then turned back to her friends. "Guys, I'm pregnant."

There was a stunned silence for a long moment. Dawn was the first to break it. "Oh, Willow. You're going to make such a great mother. I'm so happy for you."

After Dawn broke the ice, everyone offered their congratulations. There was another round of hugs. Xander offered to go make tea, and Willow went with him. As Xander set the water to boil, and got out cups, Willow just studied him.

"So, how do you feel about being Uncle Xander?" Willow asked.

A grin spread across Xander's face. "Uncle Xander, huh? I guess I like the sound of that. I can't believe you're going to be a mother."

Willow could tell something was wrong. Other people probably would have missed it, but she had know Xander forever. "What's wrong, Xan?"

He sighed. "It's just....You're having a kid with Sam. You already have a job in Washington, and know you have even more reason to stay there. Willow, I wouldn't wish living on the hellmouth on my worst enemy. I know it's not safe here, and I certainly wouldn't want you to raise a kid here, but when you took the job at the White House, I always selfishly hoped that you would be back here to stay eventually. And now...."

Willow looked at Xander with wide eyes. She had no idea that he felt that way. "Oh, Xander. I'm so sorry. I always thought that I would be coming back too. I mean, after what happened with Spike, I had to leave, but I never thought it would be for good. But Xander, I'm not going to abandon you guys. I'll come back whenever I can. I honestly don't know what the future is going to hold, but I do know that you are always going to be my best friend. I mean, hey, someone's going to have to teach my little boy or girl how to do the snoopy dance. I want all of you, Buffy, Giles, Dawn, Anya, all of you, to be part of my kids life. And part of my life. I love you. Nothing could ever change that." Willow pulled Xander into a tight hug.

They were both startled when the doorbell rang. They heard Dawn say that she'd get it. Then they heard her shocked, "Oh, my God." They looked at each other and hurried out of the kitchen to see what could have gotten such a response. They both stopped short when they saw who was standing in the doorway.

"Angel," Willow gasped.
