ho boy. is she not happy about being theres? is she gonna tell them. c'mon gweenie, you have to telll. i hate suspense.

OH MY GODS! I knew we were building up to this, but to see it in black and white is just amazing. I didn't realize, though, that so much would have been prearranged by the monks to enable this to occur. I mean...so many events would have to have been strategically in place. Good gods. Please don't tell me Spike was arranged to fall in love with the slayer. Oh man. I just hope that, when Dawn does disclose this info to Buffy and Spike, that Spike won't doubt his "sudden" development of feelings for Buffy the previous year. We all know how much Spike enjoyed being the Initiative's guinea pig. Not. I can only imagine how he might react to finding out he and Buffy have been playing the part of two puzzle pieces for some monks for the better part of 2 years. Ugh. I wouldn't want to be in Dawn's shoes for the upcoming convo. So glad that Dawn now knows for sure where and who she came from though. That has got to be such a burden lifted from her shoulders. To know that she belongs somewhere must make everything else seem bearable. *hugs Dawnie* Willow's ominous musings have me worried a bit, especially with Giles out of town. Well, I'll wait to see how that develops. Loving, loving, loving this story so much Nia. I can't wait to see how and when Dawn decides to tell Spike and Buffy, her parents, that it's a bouncing, bubbly, hormonal girl! Heee! That conversation is going to be sooo good! Thanks for another incredible update sweetie! *hugs you*

lol - you're lying - the story was good before that chapter *smile* - it only got better :-D ... I hope, no´, I think this are happy tears Dawn is crying now. Very good chapter.

didn't take long before willow turned to her evil tricks to hurt buffy and spike by trying to make spike look bad in buffy eyes.hope buffy dosen't fall into her trap and beileve's spike would ever do that to her.knowing how much he loves her and would never do anything to hurt buffy are dawn.loved that dawn parents are buffy and spike me thinks dawn love's it to are she wouldn't be crying tears of joy.hope she tells buffy and spike the good news soon.loved Casey can't wait to find out more about him.great chapter nia

Great chapter. Spike and Buffy were not as hard on Casey as I thought. I am glad Spike had that conversation with Casey, to let him know what he expects from him. Good for Casey for not backing down, he seems to care about Dawn. He faced her parents and that's a lot for a young teen. So she is theirs!!! wow, when will they find out, how will she tell them? I am waiting for the next chapter. good job on this one.

Dawn knows the truth now. Is she planning on telling anyone? I'm interested to see how Spike and Buffy react. Loved the bit with Casey, especially how he reacted to the name "Spike." lol The whole interaction between Casey and Spike reminded me of my own high school dating days. I liked how Casey didn't flinch, but was just respectful. And bad Willow. Bad.
