You know it is okay to whine occasionally. Maybe I have a different perspective, After all been there done that. Broke my arm in two places. Anyway, it's painful and there is nothing you can do but wait.
And this story is so good I am glad to wait. And if that means I have to reread to get back into the swing of things. Well big deal. Sacrifice I am more than willing to make.

Hi, still loving this story. I am sorry to hear about your shoulder. I wish you well.

this is such a fabulous story i can't even begin to tell you how great it is. you have an amazing gift for potraying real emotions and characters. you can write the hard stuff and the easy and i cannot wait for more chappies from you. keep it up! (hope your arm is better)

Wow! It's great how you're writing this story in a way that show's Willow truly doesn't understand the magic she is using. It's so fragile...or the bonds between the Scoobies are too strong for her. amazing as always!

I'm enjoying this fic so much! You've got me on the edge of my seat here. (I hope you'll feel better soon.)

Wow. Keep it coming!

First let me say, I hope the shoulder gets better soon....
NOW, can I just tell you how AWESOME it was to see this chapter and how it made my day go by when I saw it waiting for me. I just love how they all can feel something was wrong. I am just glad that Buffy and Spike can still on some level relate to each other. And what a way for them to find out about the baby that is coming. Love OZ... They all know something is off but they are going to have to work together to figure it all out.
I can't believe that Willow,all important Willow forgot to give everyone the heads up on Angelous... I mean "she did what was right" ? HA!!.. I don't know if Spike and Buffy will kill her if something really bad happens to Dawn. Can't wait for Faith to show up. Just love this chapter and story all around.

i absolutely loved this chapter! i apologize because I haven't been reviewing as frequently as before. But I have never lost interesting in this story :) I love the fact that Faith called Buffy and I'm so nervous about Angel following Dawn! I hope your shoulder feels better - I know I personally will read this story whenever you get a chance so I hope you don't feel pressured to continueing writing through the pain. :) Keep up the fantastic work - I love where you have taken the characters and how it still feels true to the characters. Thank you for the time that you have devoted to this story! feel better soon :)

Ooooh! Really good as always. Love this story. Hope your arm feels better. Thanks for writing.

Nia - Wow! This last chappy is so....just....wow! The Buffy and Spike bathroom scene was so sweet and romantic! All the suspense you have built in this story has me on the edge of my desk chair (which, btw, is dangerous since it has wheels!) in eager anticipation for whatever your clever mind has in store for us!! Keep up the great work!

Man, there's just so much going on here. Dawn and Casey being stalked by Angelus-- can't we just kill the poof? Or maybe a spell? Isn't that what Willow is best at? Using her magick to screw with everyone else when things aren't going her way? (Color me not surprised that her spell is falling apart.)

I love that Oz recognized Tara's scent and knew to go to the Magic Box. Score 2 for the Watchers that they've been supportive and helpful even though they don't know what's caused the situation they are all in.

The Spuffy moment was perfect...er,..minus the morning sickness...

Now, back to Angelus stalking Dawn and Casey. There is absolutely no good that can come of this. I can see things getting very bloody very fast. If Angelus hurts -or worse- Dawn, Spike's gonna go psycho. The question is, who'll get dead first? Willow for doing a spell in which no one remembers they've got a souless Angel running around.

Or will Spike go for Angelus' throat first for daring to harm his daughter.

Hmmmmmmmm......uh, more please? How's that arm?

Wonderful chapter. I love how Spike and Buffy are dealing together. I like your characterziations of Oz, Wesley, Giles, and Dawn so much in this chapter. All very true. I can't wait to see what happens next.!

On another note, I do hope your shoulder begins to feel better.

Angelus' malevolent stalking of Casey and Dawn was an excellent counterpoint to all the positive discoveries at The Magic Box. Buffy and Spike's scene in the confines of the bathroom was emotional and the sense of comfort and closeness was palpable. Willow's spell has put everyone on edge and the tension was well defined throughout the chapter.
