Buffy woke up to the trigger song TFE used to control Spike? Does that mean that she was lost in her own mind like Spike was and if so, did her Spike push aside a false Spike telling her lies keeping her trap in her own nightmare? *Blinks* Yeah, I know, being melodramatic here with all the happiness flowing from her recovery because when things go too smoothly, WHAM! Hellmouth hiccups and headaches!

Love how Spike never gave up hope and proved that miracles happen beyond the understanding of modern medicine. No wonder Buffy hates hospitals! The names for the twins picked by Buffy honor and cherish those beloved by her. Well done!

I am too eclectic in my musical tastes and it would too hard for me to choose one album over another. Thank God that Spike did not have the same musical tastes that Angel had because one of the babies could have been named "Mandy" as sung by Barry Manilow and the other "Lola" the show girl of the Coppacabana song. *Shudders*

Look forward to more!




Author's Response: Hi vette! LOL!! Mandy and Lola! LOL! Too funny! Yeah, I don't think Angel's musical tastes ever rubbed off on Spike! Thank goodness! The SexPistols doing Mandy . . like Sid did "My Way" (and Spike sang in "Lover's Walk"), would've been interesting tho - - ;O

I do actually touch on where Buffy was during this time in the next story . . . but it's not as ominous as that . . . so, don't worry. You're right, tho - happy is BAD on the Hellmouth! Maybe they can be happy for a *little while* . .. . that would be nice for a change, huh?

Thanks so much for reading and leaving your always insightful and entertaining reviews! I love hearing from you!

phew! what a sigh of relief I let out when Buffy's eye opened...thanks for that!
I absolutely love the names that you chose for the babies, they are awesome!
Best album of all time? I don't have one because I like so much different music it would be impossible for me to choose.
Can't wait for the next update! = )

Author's Response: Hi Inwen!! Thanks so much!! I'm glad you like the baby names!

I know what you mean about the music . . . "eclectic" doesn't even BEGIN to describe my taste in music - from oldies to rock to country to latin to blues and jazz and even some classical . . . Picking one would be impossible! The beauty is that there are SO MANY that would qualify!

Will have more soon!! Thanks so much for reading and stoppin in here to chat!! We (my muse and I) love hearing from you!! -Passion4Spike 2010.06.20

I've got tears in my eyes... This is so sad, but so beautifully written! I love this series of your's, can't wait 'til you update this!

Author's Response: Awwwwwww . . how sweet you are! Thanks so much, ladybug! It makes me feel so wonderful that I've been able to touch you like that! I cry at my own stories - I'm glad I'm not alone! ;-)

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here to share! I love hearing from you!

Yay she woke up! I was scared and I don't mind telling you it would have affected how nice I would have been in this review, that's probably not fair but I'm not always a nice person. I love seeing Spike willing to do anything for Buffy so yelling at the nurses and doctors was awesome. Good names all around. Joshua is one of my favorite names though I see it as more Hebrew than Catholic. I loved the argument over the fave album because it shows that they can move on and recover from the harsh things in life and have fun with the little things. And it's the little moments that make me smile the most.

As for the best album, I rarely find one where I like almost all the songs so I'm going to go country for this and say Garth Brooks' 'No Fences' because of my favorite song 'Friends in Low Places' Reminds me of Spike in a way, but I liked it way before Spike was even created.

Where did you get the pic of the twins? They look familiar and I've only seen one set of boy/girl baby twins on tv before (of course this could not be from tv). And babies can look similar.

Author's Response: Hi Westingwolf! Wow! I feel privliaged, 'cause you've always been nice to me! :-) Glad you liked the names . . . I think Spike would've gone for "Catholic" first in his mind just 'cause of Angel and Dru's influence - I thought of just saying "religious" there . . . I don't know - 'Catholic' is just how it came out of his mouth to me. I hear it in my head and am powerless to change it . . . {{am I the only one who hears Spike in their head? Oh, I hope not!}} LOL!

OMG! I almost used No Fences or Ropin' the Wind in there, but went with Feels So Right for the country album instead - I love that song (FiLP), too - you're right, it does make you think of Spike! I thought that Tara would've picked a country album and Alabama is a classic country group (IMHO) - but I seriously considered Garth (I also love "Papa Loved Mama" - 'Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen') LOL!

I searched high and low for a picture of blonde baby twins and could find NONE . . . so I found that one actually on flicker . . .I believe it was a studio portrait of actual twins. I'm pretty sure they weren't on TV . . . but you never know. I thought they were adorable - just like Spuffy babies would be! :-)

Thanks so much for posting and I'm glad I made you happy so you weren't mean to me . . . please don't be mean to me - it makes my muse pout. :-) I try not to be TOO EVIL . . . I just have an evil streak in there and I can't help myself sometimes . . .but I'm a romantic at heart, so things always seem to work out in the end. If things haven't worked out, then it's not the end . .. :-)

I love hearing from you!! Ta, EVER SO!! -Passion4Spike 2010.06.19

Nice.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and stopping in here! My muse and I love hearing from you! -Passion4Spike 2010.06.19

Why can't anything ever go smoothly for Buffy and Spike. Please update soon.

Author's Response: LOL! Hi Bridget! I don't know - those poor kids .. . . I think it has to do with living on the Hellmouth. Maybe they should move to Malibu or something! (it could be, as some others have pointed out, that I'm evil . . .muhahahah) LOL! I will update soon! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here to chat! I love hearing from you! -Passion4Spike 2010.06.18

Poor them. Hope she comes around. And I'm so blaming this on Angel. He totally had a chance to to make things awful. Claim could have helped. Hope she comes round. Something will work. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hi Buffyrat!!

Claim could definately help - Spike could get in her mind and see what's really going on with Buffy if they still had the bond . . . Angel's such a jealous jerk! Hopefully something will work for her! I'll update soon!

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here! I love hearing from you!

-Passion4Spike 2010.06.18

OMG I'm so mad at Angel right now, what a bastard. I'm thrilled that Buffy dropped his undead ass into the ocean, but it's so wrong that their bond is broken. =( You must fix it...pretty plz? (And that Universe where Bangel is together needs to be attacked by Glory or something and have Angel dusted. Wait... it's probably S8 crack!Comics! Universe! LOL..anyway it needs to disappear..I'm evol I know. )

Sad, sad chappie. Poor Buffy, poor Spike. Damn stupid doctor. But I do like that you went for twins. Aww I hope Buffy wakes up soon.

You know I love this story, and I can't wait for more.:) *hugs to you and your cute blue-eyed muse*

Author's Response: Hi AMI!

I'll do my best to fix the bond . . . they're working on trying to figure out a way - surely one of those brainy people can figure it out!

LOL! S8 crack!Comics Universe! LOL! Yes, that must be it! I'll give Glory a call and send her over there! Tell her that Angel is the Key - his dust opens the portals! Yeah, yeah . .. that's the ticket! LOL!!

I love evil . . . evil is my middle name! (and you thought it was "4" . . .silly girl!)

I know it was a sad chappie - hopefully, everything will work out for them (soon). Spike's being so sweet, though - {cuddles him}.

I'm glad you're still loving it. Me and my cute, blue-eyed muse love hearing from you! He's actually a little upset with me now for making him so sad . . . but he loves seeing your reviews, so hopefully, he'll get over it! ;-)

Will have more soon! Thanks so much for reading and leaving me (and him!) luv notes!

HUGS!! - Passion4Spike 2010.06.17
