Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. I understand why she feels the way she does - been there, done that. Not feeling your best and feeling threatened. But you can't voice those feelings out loud to Emma. Maybe pull Spike aside and be vulnerable and explain everything to him - not necessarily distrust on her part as much as it is she is very emotional and feeling like crap (won't be able to do her job for very much longer, either). Spike then needs to be more sensitive to that. He needs to let Buffy know that her feelings are important - etc. Maybe all three of them can sit down for a minute and talk so Buffy can see there is nothing between Emma and Spike. However, Spike being male will probably make it worse by talking more to Emma and telling her things about Buffy. When Buffy finds out that Spike told Emma about being pregnant and that Buffy is insane, etc., Buffy will go through the roof. Now, whom can mediate for them? Hmmm... .. I'll wait patiently for the next chapter.

Buffy is overreacting. Howewver, Spike is being insenitive. Spike cared more about how emma was feeling than Buffy was. I don't care how Buffy treated Emma. Spike is going to marry Buffy and she is going to be the mother of his child. He should put Buffy first, not Emma. He really screwed this up. I know Spike can't be pregnant, but how would he feel if it was the other way around? I doubt he would be comfortable with Buffy finding a young good-looking guy who she has a lot in common with and spending alone time with him - sparring with him, etc., instead of helping with the wedding plans. Anyway, they both need to grow up and put each other first.

I just checked out your banner for this fic (very nice by the way) I can see why Buffy is feeling so insecure. Emma is very attactive. I hope everything works out. More soon please!

Buffy's jealousy was so cute. And Spike is sweet to try and get Dawn a friend.

Love it, your updates make me happy!

hey guys give buffy a break...come on now how many can say that while pregnant,planning a wedding,being in charge of the slayers....sometimes when you get stressed like that you tend to get emotional..i know from personal experience that when i was expecting that if a woman even looked at my husband i was ready to rip her eyes out....now you throw Emma in the mix..a young slayer who seems to have made her fiance stand up an take a interest in her...and Spike knows how jealous Buffy can get...In my opinion Spike would be livid if he was feeling threaten by another man in Buffy life..now hopefully he will go sleep on Dawns couch and Dawn will go talk to her sister..and knowing Dawn she will more than likely say something to Emma..but hopefully it will all work out soon..i know there are people who are not going to agree with what i said in defense of Buffy ....anyway here ends my rant..by the way LOVE the story

Malcolm McLaren "manager" of the New York Dolls. After that failed, he went back to England where he "created" the band the sex pistols along with Vivien West (I think that's her last name), who owned a shop called Sex...and I'm thinking that you recently saw the Filth and the Fury. :) The story is great, by the way :)

I'm liking Emma, and Spike's friendship with her is going to be fun to explore even though it's driving Buffy to distraction. Spike doesn't have the evenest temper, and Buffy's mistrust would try a saint. Pregnant and planning a wedding - two of the most stressful times in any couples life!

well I know . . . . about Malcolm McLaren. . . but . . LOL. I'm not telling. :P~~~ Lovely update, really. Buffy is nuts. Sack of hammers, out of her head, two bricks short of a load. . . .

I am really like this story. *laughs* at hormonal buffy. Gods I remember those days way to well. Excellent chapter keep it coming.

I'm glad there is a sequel to read! Emma, Bobbie, Katie? You put that at the begin. Seems as if it's playing a role later, huh? Love the begin so far.

I thought Emma immediately coming clean to Dawn about Spike wanting them to be friends was forthright and funny. Buffy's bitchy jealousy was well written and amusing, too. These hormonal mood swings are wonderful plot fodder.

Didn't. Can I borrow Spike when you're done with him... :) spikespet2002@yahoo.com
