Wow. So good. Great dialogue, characterization, pacing. Everything. Hope you are still writing, wherever you are.

I love this story because it is both charming and real; I'm very sorry to see that it hasn't been updated in ever so long, though. I hope real life hasn't gotten you down. You did mention in the author's notes to an earlier chapter that you had the story complete and finished on your hard-drive. It doesn't matter what shape it is in, but could you please post it? Your readers (especially this one) would be very grateful to see how everything turns out.

Gosh I love this, and the dedication at the beginning just makes it that much more poignant and real.

On a completely OT note, I swear that your had another story that I really loved called "Consequences". Was that you or am I just imagining things? If not, what happened to it? I loved it!

Awwwwww so sweeeet... yess, fluffy, but the good well-written kind! warms the cockles of my spuffy heart... I so needed that. You capture the sort of conversation they always seem to be having in canon, only to much better ends, which is like awesome ; )

I agree with Will - the whole chapter was too precious!! I've been waiting impatiently for another post, and was giddy when I saw there were two chapters.

Looking forward to more.

I love it. awesomest. read it all in one go. I love the vacillations and the hand wringing it's classic B/S...and can't wait to see what happens next. I love the subtle gradients...sometimes unsentimental but at the same time sweet, but real and honest.

Oh I am most definitely reading. And I love it. More soon please?

Adorable Chapter! I hope he fixes things. Gosh I would be so mad if I couldn't run after her and wanted to and couldn't get anyone else to run after her either! Man.

Ah - I've read it twice but now I get it: Beth said "Well, it's too soon for kids, too, but only abstinence is one hundred percent effective and we so very much did not abstain that weekend." and Spike guessed that she is pregnant.
Heh... Spike knows well that he said it wrong, ordering her to marry him.
And it is kind of funny - just not for Spike LOL. Neither for Buffy, I don't think she's in a good mood right now. :)

Great chapter!!

Author's Response: Thanks!

Poor Will, that feeling of being trapped in a hospital and trapped in your body that isn't doing what it's supposed to is such a difficult, frustrating thing to deal with. His misplaced anger at Beth was also understandable, as she's his one reprieve and she was late. I liked his realization as she had flipped from being angry to understanding that he would have to marry her.

And what an interesting development of this new arrival! Curious to see where this goes. But poor Beth, things always getting in the way.

Really looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Glad you like it. Once again, Spike is the one with the inherrent understanding not only of himself, but of her. It's one of the things I like best about the relationship - usually people make it the woman who's emotionally clued in!

Really enjoying this one. Can't wait for the update.

Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully, updates will continue on Monday's until the whole thing is posted.

Aww, great chapter. Glad that they finally let Beth in to see him... wonder if he'll start calling her Buffy now?

Loved the update :)

Author's Response: Rules are made to be broken. In my opinion. Especially ones that should really be situational anyway, but often aren't because establishment has no trust in the judgement of the people actually doing the job. End rant. :) Glad you like the story!!
