Hello. I like this story very much, so please keep writing. Bye.

Author's Response: Thank you. If you have any ideas for future chapters, please let me know.

I really like your story and where it's going to go! :)

Author's Response: Thanks. I had a vision of where it was going, but changed my mind, so now I'm working on that vision.

your doing fine without a beta relax story is getting more and more interesting I do feel that
spike took the news of fatherhood too easily more please

Author's Response: Thank you. That is just a cover. Things will blow up between the pair soon.

I like the idea of this story but i was somewhat cofused with the story line. Where Buffy starts crying in the living room then all of a sudden she's in bed with Spike. I thought his reaction would be a little more harsher being that she kept his child away from him for five years thats a really long time.

Author's Response: Don't worry, there's going to be a blow out between Buffy and Spike soon. Asking Spike to stay with her was more of a comfort thing for Buffy than anything else.

Buffy was gone for five years? That's five years she stole her baby girl the father's baby = time that Spike had could have spend with the daughter he never knew now. Not sure how I would take this secret if it was my daughter. That's very long especially for when a child is young.

And it sounds as if Buffy doesn't work as a slayer any longer? So what did she do instead.

Author's Response: I know that five years is a long time, as many other reviewers have commented on this. I do address this slightly in chapters I have already written, but it also gives me an idea for future chapters. As for what Buffy done other than slaying, she was busy raising Katie-Beth and becoming an artist.

Looking forward to Spike and Buffy's meeting, and introducing Katie-Beth to Spike. I love the little hints you've put in the chapter, like Buffy's art Warm Blue Eyes. I wonder if she'll draw or paint or make something that Spike will see?

Thank you for updating so quickly.

Author's Response: Thanks, I think I mention the artwork later on, but I'm not sure. If I haven't it will deffinately come up in a future chapter I haven't written yet.

This is an interesting set-up, but I wish it were fleshed out more. It seems more like a list or an outline than a story in places, because it doesn't explain why things are happening.

For example, why does Buffy want Dawn to come stay with Joyce? To keep Joyce company? Why does the gang not know anything about Dawn?

Why is Buffy fleeing to L.A. and then Boston? Is it to escape slaying? Or to keep Spike from finding out he's the father of her baby? Why couldn't she just say it was Parker's or another one night stand's, if that's the worry?

Why would Spike agree to move into Joyce's basement? Even if he is fond of her, what's in it for him?

It seems like you have a story to tell, here, and it could be an interesting one. I hope you will slow down the narrative pace, take the time to let your readers into the characters' heads or at least see more of their conversations, so that their actions make sense.

Author's Response: This, although my second post, is my first fic ever writtten so any tips on it is gladly accepted. I will be addressing some of the issues you have mentioned in future chapters and if I dhaven't addressed them in chapters I have already written I will begin to address them when type up more of this fic.

I like the idea of your plot, though I don't know why Buffy's sister would be living with their father in L.A. and would suddenly move in with Joyce. This chapter seems to be skipping over showing the feelings and emotions that should be there, but I think that's just because you want to hurry with the set up so you can start the real story. Will the fact that Buffy had the possibility of a child and that Angelus forced her to miscarry come up again? It seemed important.

I look forward to seeing how your plot moves forward, though I would suggest slowing down enough to *show* the emotions Buffy must be going through.

Author's Response: Normally I would keep my posts for Fridays, but seeing as there is a great response to Something True, I am going to post the next chapter as soon as I've finished answering my reviews. Sorry for the confusion, the next chapter zooms forward five years, but then slows down. I will take note of your suggestions and possibly use them in future chapters.

Ah I wasn't sure first who was the father of the baby, Angel of Spike but it were both, first Angel (but Buffy lost the baby) and then Spike (I'd thought first Buffy was still pregnant by Angel).
Not sure where you'll take it now that Buffy is gone now, getting her child alone. But I'll definitely check out the next chapters to find out more.

Author's Response: Normally I would keep my posts for Fridays, but seeing as there is a great response to Something True, I am going to post the next chapter as soon as I've finished answering my reviews. Sorry if I confused you slightly.

Interesting story so far. Please update.
