Ok it seems that real life has kept me from several updates. I can't wait to read all of them. Truthfully I probably wouldn't normally review until the very last one. But I had to tell you how much I loved Buffy's reaction to being "married." It might has just been denial, but I still loved that she was more concerned with that then Joyce at the moment. ; )

Fantastic update!! Absolutely love that you've kept such a strong connection between Spike and Dawn's friendship. Seems she's the only one who's really able to get through to him, and now I'm even more curious about her 'theory.' Can't wait for more!!

Oh I like the thought that Spike is using Buffy's address :)
I didn't expect either that Buffy wanted papers ready for herself if she gets worse. Clever to have another one hunting him down to bring him back.
Loved the translation :) Means Anya trying to tell Spike what Buffy meant as well Dawn helping Spike to understand.

please update soon i love this story!

*nods* I think Spike is the right man for the decision. He loves Joyce as family too and he has a lot of experience. But Buffy is right, he needs papers too. Though he never said if he has them or not.
And see... with Spike Buffy felt better now. They just haven't noticed it (that it is due to the spell). Writing down her thoughts for Spike should be very welcome.
Loved Anya to be helpful (with the papers too). Xander the way he is now he doesn't deserve Anya. I fear Willow will indeed call Angel. ~ Looking forward to more when you're ready.

luv'd it!!! ma first time readin da whole thing....i cant wait till spike nd buffy talk things out... plz update so0on

I really like how you've given Anya personality. She's often under used in fics.

Awwww, Anya gets recognition.

Buffy should be encouraged to write things down more often a *lot*. like, way more than she ever speaks, cuz she really messes that up.

Figured Joyce would choose Spike. He cares about her, but since he's not her child, he's also partly impartial, and will respect her wishes over emotional attachment that won't turn out for the best.

Uh, okay, was that supposed to be the end of the chapter? It just seemed like it didn't stop at the right place or something. Oh well, I still liked this one. Her friends are annoying as usual, always thinking they know what's best for her. I like how Buffy is more accepting of Spike in this one. And hopefully they get to kiss, I'm not too sure by that ending. Anyway, can't wait for more=)

Author's Response: Nope, it's supposed to have almost 1000 more words to it....and it did when I previewed it : Anyway, thanks for letting me know it was screwed up, I've fixed it now :)

Great update! Loved it! Can't wait to read more!

Well leave it to Joyce to make Buffy see some tyep of reason. And I just love how Spike is being pulled into the little family. He is really a part of them and I love how Buffy was explaining about the bear. Awesome chapter.

can't wait to see what happens next!!!!!!!!!! :D
