I want so much more of this. To know what happens onward and when they get older.

this was so beautifull, I sheed a tear on several ocations.

gotta be the Best Universe I ever read, Well done..

Omg. It's been a while since I read fanfic so when I came back I had to catch up on this series and this story was incredible. Spikes interaction with the kids at the store had me laughing and Annie dealing with the loss of her legs had me in tears. You really convey emotion well. Loved seeing Dawn and the different universes too. So glad I came back to this series!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much!! So glad you're enjoying it!

I have really enjoyed every chapter of this book. I am not always able to send 'reviews' because the various sites don't always let me.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Buffy Convert! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it. There is much more of their life in the Unexpected Series. I hope you'll continue to read and enjoy it! Stop in when you can and let me know! Thanks again! It's great to hear from new readers!

A new story in my favorite universe, yay! Loved it...only oe complaint...it was too short ;) more more!

Author's Response: Hi Aly! Yes, I know this was short - just an interlude between the long stories. As complaints go, that's a nice one to have! (from my POv!) Will have more soon. I've been posting/writing an off-Unexpected story, 'Spirit Indestructible', to give my beta reader on Unexp. time to catch up to me. As soon as that is done, I'll come back to Unexp. with a longer story. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Check out Spirit Indestructible - you might enjoy it in the meantime. :) Thanks so much for reading and stopping in!

Holy crap. Brilliant chapter. This makes me hesitate to ever post anything myself. Pretty sure I can't reach such a portrayal of love/erotica with my writing. Grrrrr.

Author's Response: Hey there!! Nice to meet you, comicbound!! I'm so glad you liked the chapter and are enjoying the story! Thank you sooo much! Please don't let what other people write discourage you! It's a process and everyone has their own style - although that is just the most awesome compliment I think I've gotten! I read people like Nautibitz and Holly and Damper and think the same thing, but I do my best, make my muse happy, get the voices out of my head, and that's all that matters. :) Posting can be very scary, you're putting your heart and soul out there for people to squash - believe me, I know!

Thank you so much for reading and stopping in here! It really makes my muse dance his happy dance to hear from new readers!

Just giving us that photo of Spike in the shower would have been more than enough to make me happy but then you write this wonderful chapter too!! I don’t want to upset your evil muse with too much praise over the lack of angst in this story because I know that he’s already planning on making up for it in the next one isn’t he? Thanks for such another fic in the Unexpected ‘Verse!! Looking forward to the next one and of course “Spirit Indestructible”!!

Author's Response: Oh dear! I'm so sorry for not replying to this sooner, Melly! I don't know what happened! I missed responding to several here at the end. Oh yes, you know my muse too well. A story with little angst will undoubtedly lead to something bad! :) Actually, I have to say that I'm several chapters into the next story and it's not as bad as some, so that's good news. Of course, there's always room for 'improvement' as I re-read and tweak it. :P I'll get back to posting Unexpected after Spirit Indestructible is done. Trying to give my Unexp. beta reader time to catch up to me. Thanks so much! Love hearing from you - sorry for the brain-fart on replying! duh!

I love this story and the whole series! Can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response: Hi Kathy! Thank you so much! It's lovely to hear that others enjoy the story!! It really helps keep my muse motivated! Hope to hear from you again - don't be a stranger! Thank you for stopping in!

Lucky thing Spink has such quick reflexes are they would have never made it to the game with Buffy “pushing his button”!! I really, really love how Spike is such a good dad!! It was very cute how neither one of them wanted to be the one to give her the pink gloves. I haven't told you lately how much I love all the photos you add to the story, they are wonderful and I appreciate all the time and trouble you go through to find them. Thanks for another great update – I’ll be caught up tomorrow!!

Author's Response: Hi Melly! Thanks for mentioning the pictures, they can take a really long time to figure out and sometimes I think I'll drop them, and then about that time, someone reminds me that people like them. :) Yes, it is a good thing Spike has quick reflexes! Love Buffy with the clicker! teehee! Dani and pink are not mixy, me thinks! Annie is their pink girly-girl. I still love Spike with insecurities (like about being a good dad). He's grown so much, I sometimes forget to show them still buried in there. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Always love hearing from you.

I love Buffy's revenge I wish I could use a vibrating cock ring on my guy and make him wear it all day. But alas he is only human damn it. You have done well not with just the revenge but showing Spike off as one of the greatest dads. Something I knew he could based on how he was with Dawn during Canon.

Author's Response: Damn our 'only-human' guys ... Well, we can get them with it for about 15 minutes at least ,,, then 15 minutes tomorrow, and the day after that. heehee! From the very beginning I wanted to see Spike in the role of a dad. As you said, we knew he'd make a good one based on how he was with Dawn and I just love how it's worked out. Glad you're enjoying it too! I worry when there's no great life-threatening catastrophe that people will be bored, glad that's not the case. Thanks so much for reading, Blue Eyes, and stopping in. Love hearing from you!

I love the talks you write between Spike and his kids. They're so intimate.

Author's Response: Thanks, IT! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I always thought Spike deserved to be a dad and would make a good one based on his interaction with Dawn. I enjoy being able to give him that. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you!

Excellent bit of bonding between Spike & Troy and then Spike & Bess. :-)
Oh, and 'Safe sex you eluded to' - should be 'alluded to'.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! Just proof that I really do need to have stuff betaed! Oh well, she only has so much time and I hate to hold up posting the whole chapter to give her time to check it when I go back and add in big sections like this, so ... unbetaed we will merrily go. Glad you liked the bonding between them all. Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in, All4Spike! Love hearing from you.

Thank heavens Troy seems to be as tenacious as Spike when it comes to dealing with a Summers female and her emotions!! I can appreciate how difficult it must be to write Angelpie into a chapter but she looks just like a kitty I use to have so I especially love it when I see her picture and read about her in an update. Thanks for such another wonderful chapter, more soon please.

Author's Response: Troy has turned out to be very stubborn and determined when dealing with his Summers girl. When I first introduced him, he was a 'throw-away' character, meant to teach Bess to ride a motorbike and disappear ... Somehow he turned into so much more. Gee, does that sound like some other character we know and love? Angelpie is such a cutie - I love calicoes, they are just so adorable. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Always love hearing from you, Melly!
