Shanny is indeed used to it, huh? Thinking that she is the source of Buffy's anger but she's wrong...
Angel is underestimating his grandchildren, especially Billy even if he had a feeling someone was walking in his mind. Because he thinks it can't be it can't be, mmmh? Oh Shanny won't be happy if Angel tells the children the truth before she can. And it sounds as if Angel will do that.
*pets Spike* There has to happen more before Spike looses his Buffy even if he fears the worst.
~ Till next part :)

Yay! An update! I loved this chapter, Joyce is such a sneaky little girl. And Billy! I'm afraid of what he can do--he doesn't mean anything bad by it, but he's too smart for his own good! :) Loving this fic, can't wait for more!

Author's Response: thanks for review. Will try and update soon. Yes, Billy is definitely the problem that needs to be solved.

I know Shanny is in the dark about her parents past with Angel... but OUCH, poor Spike! I don't blame him for being so heartbroken, Shanny's remarks were so painful to read. I can't wait to find out how Buffy handles Spike's closing remarks. Good update!

Author's Response: thank you. Children can effortlessly hurt their parents. Shanny feels agrieved by the twins’ behaviour but doesn’t realise how she is hurting her own father.

I've only just found this wonderful fic, so I thought I'd let you know how much I love it. Life is never simple for our favourite couple is it? I just love little Joyce and Billy, so many secrets, so much insecurity. So like their grandparents... all of them!
So... they're all going to be in the bubble... I see much drama and unintentional hilarity on the horizon! I wonder what the first Slayer wants with Joyce?
More soon please... I'm on the edge of my seat here!

Author's Response: thank you so much. Glad you’re enjoying the story.

When is this family going to get any more better? I can understand that Shanny isn't so keen with Spike and Buffy not looking after the twins at all times. But i feel there needs to be a lot talkage between the three of them to get over the past. Maybe Shanny is more stressed than ever because she's seeing her own daughter become like her when she was little and she is turning out like her mother. Or maybe the twins are getting more attention than she ever got from her parents.

Author's Response: I think it is very difficult for an outsider to imagine exactly how difficult it would be if you were the "normal" child of a Slayer and a Vampire! Role models you can never reach because of the way you are. And Buffy and Spike who love Shanny dearly, still don’t understand her. They’ve all got a lot to learn.

Old old woman with paint on her face? That sounds as if Joyce saw the First Slayer. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing yet.
That's the thing with hearing both sides, huh? Buffy thought Shanny was rejecting Spike but when I heard Shanny's thoughts it seems it was in order not to hurt him with his cross... That's the way misunderstandings are starting.
Secret is out now; I wonder how Shanny will take it. Angel being there doesn't do Buffy and Spike good. It gets Spike jealous and Angel complaining about how he and Buffy lives? Still wanting Buffy? Seems so.
Ah well; bringing them all in the bubble will solve the problem only temporarily. But if they are there they should have no other possibility and starting to talk together. Well maybe they think of something else.... (like fighting on). But how will they get out? That will make things worse I fear...

Author's Response: Yes, all being together will force them to work and understand each other more - well, that’s what I hope, but hey, I’m only telling the story, what do I know!?

Uh oh! I guess having all four adults in the shield is safer than having two kids alone in it but still.. not good. I am glad to see this story updated.

Author's Response: thank you so much for reviewing. It will be intriguing to see how the six of them react to each other. This will be the first time Angel has had time with the twins!

The lack of communication between Shanny and her parents is postively heartbreaking. :-( Can't wait to find out who Joyce was looking at, and if she goes through with her plan. Great chapter!

Author's Response: Joyce and Spike - a generation apart, but still have the same effect on plans! It’s a very good idea she has but how will it work in reality? Thank you for reviewing.

Oh, No... bad plan Joyce. They are too close for comfort now.

Waiting to see who the bad lady is ..

Enjoying. Love the kids.

And the Spike, Buffy, Shanny relationship is ... them trying to make her aware of their world and her trying to run away from it.

And when things get too bad with the twins.. dumping them on Spike and Buffy and expecting them to cure her problem.

. Poor Spike..

Author's Response: thank you so much for your comments. Yes, I feel it is all going to get very complicated, very soon. Especially if Billy starts reading Angel’s mind!

Now the children are getting scared too. Feeling like being in a box? How will they get something to eat and drink there? It sounds as if they are stuck in a trap.
And in the middle of the whole mess (all of them missing the children but in their worry reacting different, like Spike starting to doubt Buffy's love for him ~ because of him being insecure?) Shanny arrives. I hope she'll hear what Buffy and Spike have to say. I bet she'll be surprise to get to know who the father of her children really is.

Author's Response: thank you, cordy, for reviewing so regularly. yes, I think Shanny will be devastated to learn who fathered her twins. But the adults are going to have to learn to work together.

I liked that Buffy noticed how selfish Angel is being. I could just smack Angel, the welfare of the twins is the most important issue... figures he would make this all about him. Loved the comedic bit where Buffy mused that Angel should have sent her a card to congratulate her on Shanny's birth.
Poor Spike. *huggles him* I can understand why he's feeling so insecure, his musings broke my heart. I hope Buffy finds the time to talk things out with him, they really need each other in a time like this. Can't wait for the upcoming confrontation with Shanny. Great chapter! Congrats on the wins! You really deserved them! :D

Author's Response: thank you very much. People are so nice and I love all the detailed comments about this story. Yes, Spike is really having a hard time at present. Will Shanny help or hinder finding the twins?

Great to see an update!!!!!! Seriously, awesome. Loved the chapter, and this whole fic! I'm going to reread it now just because I love it so much. I'm so excited to see more from this, and I hope we get to soon. Btw, congratulations! This plot truly is original. :)

Author's Response: thank you for your congratulations. Glad you are enjoying the story. There may be a delay in next chp because of going on holiday!

Oh Shanny, it was hard for her to grew up the way she did. Because she hurt her dad she never tried to hug Spike again? Poor one.
*sigh* Not good indeed. Now Spike doubts Buffy's decision to be with him.
Angel coming to see the twins didn't lead to good things (at the moment). I wonder why the twins are still invisible.
I wonder if the things can get better between Shanny and her parents when they are looking for the children together. Or if it will get worse.

I am now up to date with this story and consequently rather anxious to read more.

The last thoughts from Billy were unsettling and my heart aches for the twins.

As I've said before, this is such an interesting premise; the POV from the twins in particular is beautifully written. How peculiar we adults must seem! Their perspective, along with Shanny's flashbacks, pack a real emotional punch.

The parallels in this story are so poignant:

Poor Shanny, so determined to be "normal" (just like the teenaged-Buffy) is now causing in her children the same feelings of inaequacy she still feels.

Spike must again share something with Angel....

I'm really looking forward to see how things turn out. Will Shanny ever forgive her parents and gain the maturity to accept herself? How will David react? Will Billy and Joyce trust their grandparents enough to reveal their secrets?

A brilliant read. Thank you.

Ah.. Angel did indeed tell Buffy and Spike. I didn't think that they didn't know of Connor (as in the spell Angel had done to make everybody forget).
Uh-huh.. Billy thinks they will taken away? I fear they'll run now.
Till next chapter!

You did an amazing job with the reunion scene. I could totally imagine JM, SMG, and DB playing that out on the tv screen, I Iiked how Spike greeted Angel shirtless and barefoot... somebody was definitely staking a claim to Buffy. I also enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts, especially Angel's. Loved the chapter! Can't wait to read more!
