LOVE, the hall will be there,when it is time for Buffy to be done with her life and Spike with his. The fates will not be tipped in such a way.
Excellent chapter hun. Way to move things along. I look forward to what happens next, when ever that muse lets it flow.

Awesome update.

It's not just her she's making that choice for. People need her still. And peace as a young girl is overrated. It's selfish to take it so young, when there is still so much ahead of you.

Good luck, Spike. And I never tire of seeing the gang working together without fighting or bickering.

That's one heck of a tricky choice.

I would choose Spike! I hope she chooses Spike. It just won't be heaven without him. Plus she's having a kid. Go back to Spike! Update soon please!

who wouldn't choose spike, especially when in the end he would be in heaven with her. i definitely would choose spike but then i always chose the man much to my regret. if my choice could have been spike many years ago i would not be single.

*claps hands together* Oooo a choice! What would I choose were I Buffy?

Easy. I would not choose to go back for Spike, he wouldn't want him to be the deciding factor. He would want me to choose for me. I would choose to go back to allow the miracle child I was looking forward to having, the daughter that needs me already, and pseudo-adopted son who has no other family but Spike and me. As for Willow, she sowed her own seeds. It isn't a matter of forgiveness to me, but the utter loss of trust. It is too dangerous to wait and see if she can be reformed. Too many lives at stake .

Did I get it right? Was that freakishly too thought out and detailed? *blushes* Ooooooo I am so freaking excited to find out!!

I am so glad to see another chapter from you Nia. Thank you so much for soldiering through your writer's block. You have managed to pull it off successfully!

Loved:
*Anya's efficency. She is definitley the go-to girl and I love how comfortable she has become being part of the group. It gives her purpose she so richly deserves.

*Dawn's unwavering trust of Spike. She invited in Lawson with only Spike's word he was kosher and that is wonderful.

*Lawson's adorable awe over the fact that he, too, may now have a family he craves. I really like him and that fact that he has not yet hesitated to stand by Spike.

*Tara and Spike's friendship is solid. The way they care for one another makes me giddy.

*Buffy. I love THIS Buffy so much. The depth of her feelings for Spike - making sure that he has a place with her even after death - just made my heart jump. It was brilliant as is teh council's recognition of his worthiness as a hero.

I am so excited. Did I say that? I don't care. I just really am.
Thanks again! Take care and can't wait to see more from you again.

Cheers,
Nina
