Of course there was a misunderstanding, interesting that it was one about the past though. Please Buffy, I am begging you to talk with Spike about this, and damn you Spike for choosing that moment to not speak your mind. These two need to talk and then have great make-up sex.

Author's Response: Hi Westwingwolf !

You are so right! If only they could share their feelings and fears more easily. I think things are going to come to a head here pretty soon, though . . . . so, don't give up on our Spuffy!

I think the wait will be worth it . . .

Thanks so much for reading and posting. I do love hearing from you!

awwwww sad face to Buffy! i hope she gets her mojo back soon because if Hallie puts the move on Spike, Buffy needs to break out the kung fu!

Author's Response: Hi Inwen! yeah, Buffy's feeling really down about herself these days . . . she definately needs to get her mojo back to deal with Hallie who's not going away anytime soon!

Thanks so much for reading and posting here! I love hearing from you! Will have more soon . .

I'll give you credit when that ring is back permenantly on Spike's finger or however they adhere it so he can't lose it.

If your muse wants to cheat with me, I won't stop him considering who he looks like. You can't blame me for that. Either suffer the consequences or get an uglier muse, and I don't think you want to do that.

Someone should tell Hallie that Buffy's House Rule Number 7 is 'Don't touch Spike, but Buffy can grab whatever of him she wants to.'

Author's Response: LOL!!! Ok, ok - no credit, I get it. Just like EvilJoss!Buffy wouldn't give Spike credit for not taking any tastes after Anya's Troll knocked down the upper level at the Bronze . . . I get it!

No, I don't think I can change muses now. . . .as much as I like Lorne, I don't think it would be quite the same! LOL! {{{ . . . searches for those shackles to shackle my muse to the cot in the basement. .. }}}

I love that rule . . .. Rule number 7 'rules'!

{{{ hugs - from ME - not my muse! No more hugs for you from my muse! He's gettin' way too friendly!}} LOL!

Thanks for the chuckles! -P4S 2010.07.06

Oh poor mojo-less Buffy...I hope she snaps out of it soon, cause Hallie is after her vamp. I'm so glad Tara spilled the beans about the aura. And I felt so bad for Lorne...my god Gunn and Cordy are real bastards to do that to him. Thank goodness he was able to save his wardrobe.:) Loved B's house rules.

Fave line... Oh yeah - 'XXL' ; his t-shirts may say 'medium' but his condoms say 'Double X-L'. heeheehee. I can't picture Spike wearing condoms but I understand Buffy's point.

This was a great chappie...funny and serious and kinda sad too. I'm worried about our Spuffy now, things don' t look too good at the mo. And Spike keeping the "secret" about Hallie is not cool.*bops Spike over the head, then kisses it better cause I can't hurt Spike*

Can't wait for more...plz make it soon! :) *hugs*

Author's Response: Hi AMI!! LOL!

Oh man, Buffy's been warned and everything and she's not seeing it! She's got to snap out of it and get her man . . . or her vamp out of harms way . . . or Hallie's way (Harm's dust - just a little pun . . . very little!).

I don't like the idea of Spike wearing condoms too much myself . . .BUT I can see Buffy's fear and hope that the PTB will respect their wishes - no more babies (for a while, anyway!)!

I got some people bopping Buffy and some people bopping Spike . . . LOL! Will those two ever learn to communicate clearly? Always such insecurity on Spike's part and Buffy trying to be perfect - keeping stuff inside and hidden.

I will definately update soon! Thanks so much for reading and posting here! I SO LOVE HEARING FROM YOU! {{BIG HUGS}} - P4S 2010.07.06

"The twins apparently liked the song, or the rhythm - or perhaps they thought their father had lost his mind and they were afraid to scream lest he pick one of them up and dance them around the room to that beat." -- Love that imagery. Glad that Anya (and Xander, for that matter) survived child birth. Wonder what will come of all this Hallie avoidance. Update soon!

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Glad you like the image of Spike serenading the babies . . to rock and roll - of course! :D

I don't know how long Spike's gonna be able to avoid Hallie . . . she's not going away anytime soon . . .

Yeah, good that Anya allowed Xander to live through the child birth! LOL!

I will update soon! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here to comment! I love hearing from you!

-P4S 2010.07.04

Really amusing with Xander and Anya.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus - Glad you enjoyed Xan and Ahn - They make a good couple.

Thanks for reading and stopping in here - I love hearing from you! -P4S 2010.07.02

LOL Oh this was so good. Anya and Xan were hilarious. =) And I loved that middle name...really cute and creative.

Spike dancing around for the twins was too cute, and I LOVED that pic of JM. Boy does he have a nice long tongue. ;)

Cute Spuffyness too. And that last pic was adorable. OMFG I want that t-shirt! (Poor JM, his niece likes the "Twilight " books so he has to hear all about Edward. *shudder* LOL)

Can't wait for more, and that skank Hallie better keep her mitts off Spike. :) Loved this!!

Author's Response: Hi AMI!! I knew you'd like that tongue picture! LOL! I like it too! Wow - that's impressive! :P

Glad Xan and Ahn gave you some chuckles! I never know with funny - it's like, put it out there and hope someone laughs! LOL! Glad you liked the middle name - I have no idea why or how I came up with that! It just came out of my fingers and onto the screen .. . (It''s not just ME that's evil, my fingers are actually possessed . .. they type stuff and I have no idea what they're doing!)

I know, poor JM having to put up with 'Twilight'! On his last Q&A post on his website someone asked him what Spike would say to Edward and I think JM said, "Let's party!" or something like that and I was like - NO - That is totally NOT what Spike would say to Edward - he would call him a ponce or a Nancy boy and ask him if he knew what the actual definition of 'vegetarian' was and then he would stake him!! LOL! But, since his niece likes 'Twilight', I guess he was trying to be nice!

I wish I could find that Tshirt! Whoever gave it to him musta had it made special, I can't find it anywhere online! There's a "Buffy staked Edward. The End" but I don't see a Spike one! drat!!

That skank Hallie is so perving on our Spike and she's not gonna keep her mitts off him . . she's just gonna keep on and on until something gives . . . and I hope it ain't Spike that gives! No, he wouldn't do that - - would he? To get even with her . . .he wouldn't cheat on Buffy just to get even with Hallie . .. no way - right?

Thanks so much for reading and posting here! I soooo love hearing from you - and so does my blue-eyed muse - - he's sticking his tongue out at you in gratitude! LOL!

TTFN!! More soon! -P4S 2010.07.01

Loved this chapter.. especially the ending picture. I totally saved that to my computer!! lmao! Can't wait to see next the installment of this story!! :)

Author's Response: Hi Elly! Glad you liked the chapter and you got some chuckles!! I thought most folks here would appreciate that JM pic and that t-shirt! ;D Because, YEAH! Spike would totally stake nancy boy Edward! LOL!

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here to chat! My blue-eyed muse and I love hearing from you! -P4S 2010.07.01

Zowies! Hallie has the lusties for Spike and is practically eye-raping him under Buffy's nose. Spike is not only love's bitch but also fate's bitch to cross paths with the woman who practically put him in the path of Drusilla. Loved the description of how cozy yet hectic life in the mansion is and especially love reading of Annie playing with Miss Kitty Fantastico. Can't remember how Buffy and Spike were earning money....spoils from the treasure Spike found? (Gem of Amarra) Cause maintenance and upkeep for the mansion must be expensive! Does Spike maintain the grounds or is a gardener used? I know they have a garden but do they have a playground for the kids? Poor Spike without the Gem of Amarra, he cannot push Annie on a swing during the day. Surely magic can create another way for him to be a day walker. If Hallie acts on her lustful thoughts on Spike, hope that the witches turn her into a rat, like what happened to Amy. Look forward to more!

Author's Response: Hi Vette! LOL! Turn her into a rat! Oh, wouldn't that be justice!!?? I love that! Would they then have to keep her in a cage and get her an excercise ball ??- -OH I KNOW! Get her one of those plastic balls that she can run across the floor in and let Miss Kitty chase her! LOL!

Their money came from a long time ago - they got it from Angel who got it from the inheritance when Spike's (William's) and Dru's families "died" - it had been in the bank earning interest for the last 100+ years - so, I'm gonna say there's a good bit there. Also, Angel gave Buffy the mansion free and clear (presumably out of his money). That was way back in the beginning in the chapter when Spike proposed to her and they had the baby shower. (I think it was called "Secrets"). Ya know, I don't know who does the outside maintence . . . . I'm gonna say they probably have a lawn service for that. Maybe Willow and Tara have a small Wicca garden with herbs and stuff growing. It's funny 'cause just today I was thinking that, ya' know with all this outgoing money over the last 6 years or so, they're gonna start depleting their savings - it might be time to start thinking about getting some income. I don't think it will be from working at the DoubleMeat Palace, however!

I actually am gonna get into some outside play with the kids in the not too distance future . . . at least with Annie. You musta been looking over my muse's shoulder as he was making notes for me! No fair!

Thanks for reading and posting here -- - I TOTALLY LOVE the rat idea . . . I hope you don't mind if I steal it from you! That would be soooo ironic, I think.

{{hugs}} -P4S 2010.06.26

Oh poor tired Spuffy parents, LOL I loved that everyone is afraid of cranky! Mama Buffy and Spike watching Passions is too cute. It's nice to see Xanya happy and living happily in Buffy's old house.

I liked everything about this chappie except skanky Cecily/Hallie drooling over Spike and thinking of making a move(not that I blame her, I just didn't like it lol) That could cause alot of problems, especially since Buffy is NOT feeling too sexy and seems to have body issues. :( I trust our vamp tho, and if Buffy finds out I hope she throws her out on her ass.And Spike should tell Buffy about Hallie.

Love's Bitch-Ask Me How! LOL Loved that!

Great chappie, hope this inspires your muse to get off his adorable rump! And must you keep making me drool with the sexy Spike pix? :) OMG !!

Author's Response: Hi AMI!! Well, Since England doesn't play again in the WC until tomorrow, I think my blue-eyed muse will have some time tonight to read reviews and help me write some more! He loves reading your reviews!! ;-) He told me to put that nekkid Spike picture up there just for you . . . he loves to make you drool!! ;-)

Glad you enjoyed the chapter! That darn Hallie - she's really perving on our vamp! I'm afraid she's gonna make trouble - I hope Spike and Buffy both put her in her place . . . which would be beneath Spike . .. but of course, not LITERALLY! LOL!

Glad you liked Spike's Love's Bitch t-shirt! LOL!

thanks for reading and stopping in here - it really does keep my handsome muse up off the couch and inspired! And, he loves to see you drool, too! ;-) More coming soon!

-P4S 2010.06.26

"he wondered silently if he should just get some t-shirts made: “Love’s Bitch — Ask me how!”" -- Love that. Wonder how long Hallie will last. Don't find it to be wise to get on the slayer's bad side, even when you are an ex-vengence demon. :) Update soon!


Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Glad I got a laugh outta you! ;-)

Hallie will probably last long enough to cause a bit of trouble, would be my guess . . . LOL! No, she definately does NOT want to get on Buffy's bad side - Buffy catching her making a move on Spike is gonna be BAD.

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here! I always love hearing from you! Will update soon!

-P4S 2010.06.26

Buffy and Spike no sooner leave the hospital that they are bantering with each other, a good marriage is made of compromises and their negotiations are funny, yet entertaining. Their love making is too blow the roof off the mansion, hope that they sound proofed their bedroom to keep young ears from hearing them. Good thing they are night creatures with two babes that may not sleep through the night. Buffy's coma sounded awful, cannot imagine the solitary maze she was lost in, good thing Spike never gave up. Look forward to more.

Author's Response: Hi Vette! Glad you liked their negotiations . . . somehow, I think Spike's getting the short end of the stick on those - he mostly let's her win. I guess he knows what's good for him! ;-)

Oh -they sound proofed that bedroom a LONG time ago . . . way back when Willow and Giles could hear them from down in the great room - years ago! So, no worries on that! ;-)

Sleep, I do believe, is going to be at a premium very shortly . . .

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here. I love hearing from you! -P4S 2010.06.24

Just have to add...Spike should NEVER get rid of the DeSoto. No way, no how...that's a classic. I was so upset when they got rid of it on the show. :(

Shold def. get the necro tempered glass tho..don't want Spike to burn up after all. :)

Author's Response: Hi again, AMI! No worries! You're right - Spike would never get rid of that car! Even I'm not that evil! I do think Buffy has convinced him on the necro glass, tho . .

I never understood why they got rid of it on the show, BTW . . never made any sense.

Thanks again! -P4S 2010.06.23
