LMFAO - "maybe $20 wasn't enough". Indeed it seems. Oh GOD I so hope SPike's lack of privacy/lifestyle doesn't hinder Buffy from staying involved with him. It's a seriousl blow indeed. But there is always damage control - let's just hope Spike takes care of that pronto. This was an awesome chapter darling, simply FABulous with the kinda of down home get together between friends and the added cuteness of Faith's daughter. Hmmmmmm, i've a feeling we'll be getting a wee bit angsty from here on out, but hopefully not too much. THanks for the update darling, I loved every word of it. Hugs you tight my friend and hope your mom is doing well.

Author's Response: The curse jar actually exists in my life! My best friend has one in her house and the last time I went down to visit I had to fork out nearly 10 bucks....and the fee was only a quarter! **shakes head** Shame on me and my dirty bird mouth! Thanks so much for the absolutely, freaking awesome review! I'm glad you enjoyed it, babe! Hope things are looking up for you! HUGGLES

I just started reading this one today and am in absolute LOVE with the entire story! Both Xander and Willow are fantastic. I actually like Xander as the understanding, not-complete-idiot male, so great job on that. Also, I love Buffy's reaction when Spike comes over to see her at the beginning. Hilarious.

I also loves Faith's reaction to seeing Spike. Faith speechless and then bursting out with the ranting and swearing? Priceless! Also, her daughter seems absolutely adorable. LOVE HER!

Finally, but not in any way, shape, or form least, I ADORE Spike in a can't-put-into-words-over-the-moon-in-love-with kinda way. He's such a great mix in this story of patient, understanding guy and "Here, let me rip your clothes off for you", and I love it. I really hope Buffy doesn't let this whole media thing freak her out too much because I really like where they are right now.

All that being said, I am going to beg and plead for the next chapter. The other reviews made me worried, so I'm hoping another review will inspire your muse and get me the next chapter quicker!

On that note, I'm really sorry I went on for so long. I hope your not sick of long reviews yet....if so, I apologize. I love this story and can't wait for what's next.

Author's Response: WOW, what a review! I am so happy to have a new reader, plus one that leaves such wonderful reviews. :) I'm glad that you are enjoying what I have so far, I know its not a lot, but I love the storyline and am happy when my readers agree with what I am doing. I am tossing around ideas for the next chapter and hope to have it out soon. I hope you can wait patiently and stick around, I intend on this being a pretty good ride. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and don't worry about the length of them...I love reading what you guys have to say! Bring it on! Thanks again!!!

Very amusing chapter with the Faith and Buffy banter and Spike giving a twenty for cursing and it not being enough , i'm so glad your back now I just hope you stay back , i mean here, oh you know what I mean . Update again soon.

Author's Response: LoL! Thanks, JO! I'm totally planning on sticking around. RL has been less of a moody bitch as of late and I hope she stays that way. Glad you're still with me on this one and thank you so very much for leaving me a review!

Sweet. So hard to imagine Faith pregnant, but this totally fits the bill!

Author's Response: Thanks! Faith being preggers was just too funny to pass up! Thanks again for leaving the review!!!

yay, glad you are back, hope you continue as I like this story

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so happy that there seems to still be an interest in this story! I was worried that by staying away for so long that you guys would have ditched me. Thanks for the review!!!

Thought about you last night... believe or not.. saw you online here .. Said.. Naaa never see an update on that one again..

So pleasantly surprised and you made my day... having a laugh right now thinking of Spike's prim and proper is not quite so.. But glad they had a good night together... and she must be settled on the married thing.

Enjoyed. And the teams not looking so good this year? Florida kicked LSU... bad.. Now to see what happens with Alabama..

Author's Response: There's one thing I can promise, it's that I will not leave a story hanging. It might take forever in a freaking day to complete, but otherwise I won't just stop writing. (Of course, bodily injury or death is an exception. LoL) I'm glad you liked it and still think about me and my little story! Thanks for sticking with me!!!! As far as Bama, I kinda hope they get their asses handed to them, strickly on the fact that the fans are getting a bit unruly and more arrogant than normal! LOL Thanks again!!!

Hot, hot, hot! Do I have to write that I loved it? ;) Oh yes, they should date :p Looking forward to more, sweetie!

Author's Response: I'm so happy that you liked it! Thanks so much for the review! The next update should be up soon! Thanks again!

Heh...clever of Woods to noticed Buffy didn't want to talk. So she has an invitation now. Looking forward to what Faith will say :)
Good for WIllow to point Buffy into the right direction *g*.
Hot chapter :-D

Author's Response: Yeah, and now he's gonna sic Faith on her! **gasp** Buffy and Spike will be for a very interesting night, that's for sure. Thanks for the review, hun! Glad you're still sticking with me here!

OH I am so glad she told him her feelings.


Author's Response: Yeah, I've made a solemn vow not to make this story angsty...therefor, I decided not to draw out Buffy's feelings. Figured Sotia might beat me if i did! LoL!Thanks!

Riley's being there is not good, I hope he takes the news well.


Author's Response: Riley being anywhere is never of the good. LoL! Thanks for the review!!!

Chemistry? Not a problem! :D

Author's Response: And that's a good thing! Thanks for the review!

Fabulously true to canon with Buffy's talking to all of her friends, I lmao at some of the funny things that were said by all around. Avoidy Buffy didn't last too long, thank god, once she decided to try 'dating' her husband. But under the circumstances, can't say I blame her, hee hee. And wow - Faith and Robin? Kewl. I gott a reeeeeeeeeal soft spot for Robin - he's a total hottie. And what a fiish to this chapter. As if he could resist him? Especialy when he got all growly -like. GAH - I hope sex is a part of their 'dating', lol. But I'm glad Spike didn't balk at the idea when she mentioned it, that shows he really is invested in their marrige. And sweety, on a personal note... you take all the time you need and spen with your mom. What you told us the dr. said doesn't sit well with me b/c of what I had to go through recently with my m-i-l. So you do what you need to do and know we'll all be waiting here for more of your story whenever you're able to update. Luv you lots hon and my prayers are with you and your mom. Hugs you tight.

Author's Response: Avoid-O Buffy will sadly rear her ugly head in the future, I just can't help myself and need to throw in at least some angst. (Though Sotia might fly over to kick my arse for it.) I actually didn't like Robin at first, didn't want him moving in on Buffy and stuff, but once he got it on with Faith...had no prob at all. Well, til the whole attempt on Spike's life, that was a no no. Thanks for the review, I'm happy you enjoyed the update. Thanks also, for the hugs. My mom is still in the hospital and is going through a butt-load of tests trying to figure out what's causing her nausea. She hasn't started chemo yet, that's on Monday, so she shouldn't be this sick already. So, fingers crossed that they figure something out soon. Thanks again!
