Poor Cordelia... I really hope their plan works. She needs to get out of there. And I'm with Giles--Angel should be dust. Wanker. Liked the scene with the baby. Great mental image of Spike playing with him. lol It's looking like Xander might be coming around a little bit, though Anya's thoughts make me think not so much in that area. But not saying anything about Buffy wearing Spike's shirt was a start. And Willow is most definitely up to no good...

TNX for the update first! I wonder why Xander came - it he had second thoughts. First I thought Giles did knew what's the what with Buffy but naw - I don't think he knows. Hope the three don't make somehing silly. Awe - Spike's new family = vampire clan. And Connor is really special too. Oh - happy belated birthday! I can't remember when the update mail for this fic came but I think I'm late anyway :) May your wishes come true!

Xander's angry posturing was tempered by his immediately volunteering to help Cordelia. I love Spike in this domestic role - sorting Connor with his bouncy chair and rattles. Spike and Buffy consulting baby books just makes me grin.

Holy moly! 812 reviews so far - how can you possibly still doubt yourself? Wonderful chapter as always, can't wait to see what happens next. And what's up with Connor? Superbaby....

Happy Birthday to YOU.......and many more. Great chapter and I got a feeling ole Xander is going to muck things up....the old mucker....LOL......as always so well written and does Buffy's baby have a heartbeat yet or will it.....for I'm sure Spike should have heard it......hell Conner keeps it up he'll be in grade school come end of next week......

Happy Birthday. I hope it is as pain free as possible, and I hope that you get to enjoy the day with family and friends. Nice chapter update ... Xander needs to be slapped upside the head. Seems like Connor is growing faster than a usual child. Probably because of his genetics. Look forward to whenever you are able to update again.

Great update, and Happy Birthday!!!! I love the friendships spawned (no pun intended) between our three Brits...they almost seem like brothers to me....and then Xander had to muck it up...gah, at least he went with them to check on Cordy...that's gotta say something, even if he was being an ass....ooohhhh, Buffy's sick again...don't wanna say what I think, so I'm gonna way till you write down what's wrong with her...and I love the new moves Conner's doing...can't wait for more!!! Hope you have a happy birthday!!!

Old lady, my ass! HA!! You'll never be old! And since it's now after midnight, today would be your birthday, yes? **throws confetti and warbles out a rousingly bad rendition of 'For She's A Jolly Good Fellow'. Oh, and the update was just SMASHING!!! Happy B-Day, Nia!!! Kisses!!!

it's your birthday??? well, i hope it's a happy one. thanks for the great update. please post soon but don't overwork yourself tomorrow. just relax. great job. loved it (not surprised though. i always love these updates.) post soon.

great chapter so loving the family bliss between spike and buffy and was so hoping he would tell jerk zander the truth about dawn being his daughter oh just to see the lookj on zander face would have been so laughable to me cause he is such an idoit.And poor buffy wait till she finds out why she really sick so looking forward to that spike willbe so happy and me thinks giles has that feeling that buffy is with child the ginger ale was a give away.Hopr giles and wesley and zander get to cordelia on time.Another great chapter Nia barvo,And Very Happy Birthday Nia

I love the bot... Always so much fun. lol Liked the little confrontation with Spike and Xander. Looks like Xander is very much out of the loop. Also says he hasn't been talking to Anya much... Good little scene with Connor, too. Super baby. LOL I'm keeping my fingers crossed for poor Cordy, hoping they get her out of there. And of course, Happy Birthday. ;)

oohhh she said it!!! yay buffy and perfect timing. oh gods, cordelia. can she recover from this if shes rescued? i hope they can get to her soon. loved this chapter nia. i am distressed to see you have gotten not so positive reviews. not losing me. no way. i get so excited when i read a new chapter.

Wow - I was very surprised by your response considering I thought my comments were very nice and also complimentary to your story even though there are some aspects I do not like. Hey, you can't please us all, right? As for the comment I made about Spike giving up. Go back and read my comment again. I was commenting on the fact that I don't think he should have bitten her - I thought he gave in to Buffy telling him to bite her too quickly. It had nothing to do with their physical positions. Anyway, I can tell you just want positive comments so this will be my last review, even if I have positive things to say. And by the way, I left you a lot of only positive reviews - you just chose to focus on the others. Good luck with everything!
