Loved the chapter! I can't wait to find out if Spike listens to Doyle, or decides to stop feeling sorry for himself and make some changes in his life.

I know that Spike is the uber-coward and self-loathing destructo-asshole in this, but nonetheless, that last scene was one of the saddest moments ever. To see your beautiful child and be unable to touch him or do the mother anything good, how devastating.....

So, in all honesty, the reason I hadn't read this story before now, is because I didn't want a heavy dose of angst at the moment. But I couldn't resist! As sad and angsty as this really is, it's also really good. :)

Awwww... I like the way you're writing this story. It's so sweet and heartbreaking all at the same time. I especially like the way you mix narrative with dialogue so that we don't spend huge amounts of time going over and over what everyone is thinking constantly to the detriment of the flow of the story. You get the balance just right. Your Spike's a dog, but he's a lovable dog and I like his characterization as well. Hope you post more right away. I can't wait to see where this goes next. Thanks. :-)

Its good to see someone using Doyle again. It seems that once Glenn Quinn passed people stopped using him in fiction and if they do its just a little bit. So thanks for the story and using him and keeping him around. Now, whats going to happen Spike knows and something tells me that he’s not going to give up easily.

Doyle was out of line, it wasn't his place to make her decisions. Glad he got to see his son; maybe he'll give his wife the bum's rush now. When will we have more interaction between the two main characters again?

Points for Spike for caring, points for staying, points for really feeling ... for Buffy and for his son.

MAJOR POINTS for Doyle for being the best friend ever.

Spike really beats himself up ... why the lack of self esteem? Too bad he hasn't been apart from Cecily all this time. It would help to make things easier than having to crawl over broken glass into a pool of alcohol like he is destined to do if he wants a life beyond those doors.

But hey, there is light at the end of this tunnel . Right?

This chapter was extremely well written... you really covered a lot of ground here. PHEW!

Author's Response: Things with him are reaching a head, especially now...as far as his self-esteem, don't get from him that he ever really had much of one. I think his underdeveloped sense of self with Cecily just got worse and then he just ended by hating himself for being so weak and getting himself trapped. He's all about the feeling sorry for himself.

I'm very glad he didn't listen to Doyle and leave. That might just be a step in the right direction.

I love how their banter has a familiarity beyond their real knowledge of eachother. Kind of like the Buffy and Spike in BTVS. He really likes her and misses her (or at least the idea of her) and it is showing. It is also showing that he has it in him to be sweet and attentive. And she wants him around ... or at least she is totally allowing him around her.

WHOA!!! Great dialogue ... both inner and outer. Love the water breaking ... very original and shocking for both of them.

I don't know ... am I a hopeless romantic or is she wanting him?? Granted he's got a long way to go. (Why exactly is he so messed up ... lack of self esteem wise?) but they belong together.

That Eleanor Roosevelt quote is wonderful ... never heard that before!!

Great banter between the friends ... every one has such a different take on things which is typical. I hope Doyle is ready for the ride. It ain't easy. Been there, done that, have the T-shirt. (It's tough even WITH a loving supportive husband). Go girl!!

Thank God she has Doyle ... the friend who will truly be there. (I hope)
Love the injection of humor.

WOW, if he wasn't so "active" I would say that he should "grow a pair" ... I guess he has a pair but he sure is a weak minded guy. Life beat him already?

Urgh, this isn't fair. I know that if this was real life, and that if someone had done this to one of my friends, they would have been castrated by now, but I'm still so biased because it's SPIKE. So, because this is a story, and not real life, I don't feel slightly at all bad in saying, Awww :( Poor Spike.

I'm glad that he stayed. I would have had to jump into the story and kick his ass if he hadn't. Lol

A fabulous update-- I love how emotional Spike is over the birth of his son. Just one minor thing-- Eight pounds and 6 ounces is a really healthy, almost large baby weight, but 12" is incredibly tiny-- beyond premie. A 19-22" baby would be more realistic; just a heads-up from a mom in-the-know. ;)

Author's Response: thank you! I changed that right quick lol.
