This is the second time I have read this and it is even better than the first. I love it and am looking forward to the next chapters.

I love Wesley. I love Spike. Hell, I even love Anya and Tara. In other words, what a great story.

Hi Nia, I've been away for the past couple of weeks but I just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely love your story. I love how you use so many of the characters and blend in both series so well! And the word sprog just makes me laugh. I'll be more faithful with the reviews from now on. =)

awesome as always.

Awe, yes - better the story than the name list. I love Clannad! I have all the older CDs. I haven't checked out if they have new ones. In a Lifetime is one of my favorite.... (found them because they did the music for Robin of Sherwood - otherwise I could have missed that group!) .. It's good that Buffy had blurt it out that she wanted the baby to be hers... Spike was retreating again, feeling that Buffy wanted the baby because of Angel... He is so insecure when it comes to Buffy.... But maybe he got it now, when Buffy told him he was in her heart. Looking forward to the next part!

This story continues to enthrall me! I'm anxiously waiting for updates.

Absolutely LOVED it. It was wonderful, perfect. Now I want Spike's reaction to what Buffy just told him.

Frustrated sob! You giveth and you taketh away - meanie! What a beautiful declaration from Buffy, absolutely wonderful - or it would have been if someone had allowed us poor readers to be given Spike's response! No fair! Yeah, I know, who said life was fair. Bloody great chapter and, fancy that, am gagging for more ASAP! Thanks muchly (but you're still mean!).

I think this story just keeps getting better and better - and that's saying something. Buffy's words to Spike have a smile plastered on my face. I can't get enough of this story.

I enjoyed the emotional domesticity of circling the wagons for Angelus' return. This group is ready for the unexpected, but not emotionally inured to possible consequences. I loved the scene with Buffy and Spike and Connor - her reaction to the baby was well written and heart wrenching, and the need to tell Spike what she was feeling for him was believable in this context. Wesley and Oz are already an intriguing component in this story. I'm looking forward to how they'll feature in the future. You're doing a good job drawing all the characters. Anya was both brittle and sympathetic, and Wesley's emotional support of Dawn was lovely to read.

Awesome update. The scenes between Spike and Buffy were very emotional and well throught out. Your thoughts, back emotions and present emotions were right on. They moved me through the entire chapter from start to finish. Wesley's bit with Dawn at the end really gave a lot to Wesley's character. I like how you put that in. I enjoy seeing Oz, Tara, and Wesley fleshed out into broader and more main characters. Oz and Tara actually make a cute couple, if the story goes more in that direction. Dawn and Wes are so cute. Maybe she can convince Wes that her crush is okay if he likes her because she's an ancient ball of energy in human form. So she's way older than him anyways. LOL. Look forward to the next update.

I think this is going to be one of my favorite chapters. There was such emotional depth to each and every scene that played out in the most basic and human way. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Buffy and Connor moments...I love that she connected with him. So incredibly beautiful. My two other favorite moments were Anya's reaction to Dawn's guilt - a reaction we rarely get from Anya so when it happens it has such a deep impact and the other was Wes comforting Dawn...just such an unexpected moment but one that worked perfectly!

This is good. It flows very well and is perfectly at home with the rest of the story. I don't think I know what you're nervous about here. Unless of course the Wes comforting Dawn is headed into some serious NC17 action, then it all seems to be pretty much par for the course. And if it is going to be Dawn and Wes NC17 action, start giving us some disclaimers now so I can brace myself. ICK! Sorry
