Oh interesting! That even if Spike started out this agreement because e needs a wife for his career he doesn't want to use her. That's a place Buffy has still to get to. Does she think she can tell the baby is a premature infant? I guess she isn't thinking so far. ~ Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: She does still need to get to that place, and I she's not thinking that far because so far she's acting out of a fear of being alone. I'm glad you're still enjoying the fic, love. Thank you for the review! :D

Still lying Buffy... he thinks its his...

Enjoying, waiting for the truth.

Author's Response: Thank you. I’m glad you’re still liking and still with me on this :D

oh dear. i think William is going to notice the month or so's difference between him entering Buffy's life and the pregnancy. this is NOT a flame, but a compliment to your writing...I am dreading that bit. beautifully written as always

Author's Response: Love, I enjoy all kinds of feedback, good or bad, and as long as it’s not something extremely mean, to the point of making a grown man cry, it’s unlikely for me to think it as a flame :o)

Thank you for the review, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the fic and my writing :o)

awesome chapter. it's sad that they're so mixed up. Spike with his not wanting to use Buffy and Buffy with her needing Spike to make her feel better about something she's doing to him. can't wait for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Yes, but out of conflicting emotions *insert some wise knowledge here that Andrew is too tired to think of* :P

Thanks!
