Great chapter! I really love that Buffy's friends were so accepting of Spike.

I beta occasionally, if you're still looking. I'd be happy to help out. You can email me at prettyest1@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Author's Response: I've already found a beta, thanks for the offer though. I appreciate it. - Spikegirl

yeah an update. i have no idea about a beta i usually just post a 'i need a beta' on the tag board and wait for someone to respond. loved the chapter and i hope you find someone soon. keep up the awsome work

Author's Response: Thanks ;) I've already found a beta. - Spikegirl

Gosh... big problem there. I think Buffy is the one with real head on her shoulders. From a very young age she'd shouldered pretty heavy responsibilities and these two men, whether they think they're important in her life or not, just expected her to give up everything for them. Do they have the right? I think only to a certain extent. They weren't there for her when life was hard on Buffy, and she'd made it out till now on her own. She's a survivor. These two men should show a little more respect to her than to make their demands on her like that. *LOL* Don't worry, sweetie, I'm just rambling.

As for the beta bit, I'm betaing for Nemo right now and I haven't listed myself yet but I'm thinking of doing that since I have a few "fic slots" open. ;) However I'm not advertising myself here, I think you have a right to choose which beta do you want from the links cordykitten gave you. Good luck with that!

And oh! Love the chapter, I can't wait for more :D

Author's Response: Don't worry, I like people who ramble... you kina remind me of myself ;) I've found a beta already, but thanks for the advice ;) - Spikegirl

good update i loved it

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the review! - Spikegirl

still don't like xander.

FIrst of all...Xander is pissing me off here! What the heck was Buffy suppose to do? Set back and let her and her sister starve! Everything she did, she did for the love of her child and sister..

Now...My view on the Buffy/ Spike situation..I understand Spike's POV of the situation..and that he doesn't like Buffy stripping..but then again....I don't exactly see him on his knees asking her to marry him and telling her he loves her. She is suppose to give up her comfort zone to move to LA...just because he wants her to not be a stripper.

They need to take some time and get to know one another again..and fall in love. Spike should work out some type of schedule so that he can spend time with his daughter too.. Bet all this will go a bit more angsy than that though, hunh? lol Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: I think Xander's pissing of everyone... including me! ;) But Buffy and Spike are already in love... Buffy was in love with him since she was 12 and Spike fell in love with her when she was Anne. But they'll have their talk. Thanks for the review! - Spikegirl

Beta? Try the section here on SR = http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyZone/index.php?board=6 , or http://community.livejournal.com/buffy_beta_list/ or http://www.bloodshedverse.com/betas.php
Good luck! Because every writer needs a beta: http://community.livejournal.com/riters_r_us/19888.html ;-) ~ To the story: Good that the dinner did go well. But Buffy and Spike didn't talk about her work yet. Mmm Dawn will be coming too. I wonder what she'll think of them being back. Still no solution of the what to do now. Nobody will give in or can *sigh* So yeah: What to do now?

Author's Response: Thanks for the advice ;) - Spikegirl
