LOVED IT!!! VERY SEXY!!! i cant believe that cordy was hitting on spike. also i really love how u have written buffy, definitley displaying her pregnancy hormones. i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. im so glad that spike and buffy are so happy and i cant wait to see how they react when they find out. i really hope that theyre both excited about it and that everything goes well. also i hope that they find out soon and i cant wait to read the last chapter. PLEASE update as soon as u can, i CANT wait to see how it ends.
Author's Response: Thanks sweety, glad you enjoyed it. Youknow I had to serve Cordy her just desserts - it was too much a temptation not to, lol. And indeed Buffy is very pregnant, all the sign and sypmtoms present and ragin, lol, much to her and Spike's dismay sometimes. I hope you enjoy next chapter just as much - only one more after that, *winks*. THanks again for the lovely review hon. Smooches.

Please write more soon! I can't wait for the new chapter already. Although I still think that Spike has been a total bastard to Buffy in the beginning, and she should have just teased him and left him at the graduation day (that would show him, lol), but I realize that that would leave us without a one truly hot scene.
At first when I've read the description, I wasn't so sure that the Spuffy in the Military is something I'd enjoy, but since I've already read your Tailored Encounters and loved it, I've decided to go with it, and was pleasantly surprised.
Well anyways, I really hope to see more of this story soon.
Lots of Hugs and Inspiration!

Author's Response: I'll do my best sweety, I promise. Giggles, yup, Spike was a complete ass to her in the beginning, but alas, he redeemed himself and spuffy abounds. Glad you like TE and of course decided to give IAN a try. I know the summary and title have probably driven some folks away and its a shame since the military is on the setting for the story. Sighs, guess there's not too much I can do though. Thank you so much for the lovely review darling - it really made my day. Hugs you tight.

Hi hon!
I didn't actually read this chapter yet, because I'm saving it for a better time! .I feel like I'm always in a hurry these days and I definitely want to take my time with great stories like yours :) ( I passionately dislike pregnant-stories, but I guess I have to make an exception with this, because it's yours *giggle*)
By the way; I sent you the e-mail that you never received again, but there must be something wrong, since it was quite a while ago and I'm guessing that you didn't get it this time either? I don't know what's the problem, since I've checked that the address is exactly the same that you gave me...
I'll try to have time to actually read this chapter in the near future, so I can review and not just bable nonsence...although I think I do it in actual reviewes too so...*grin*
Hugs and kisses to you and your muse :)

Author's Response: Hey there lady, *waves*. I understand busy and no worries, you just read wheneer you have some down time. It's thankfully not a pregnancy story - that's more an additive to it, giggles. I didn't get an email, huh, this is weird. I'm not sure what's happeneing, but hopefully I'll chat (IM) with you soon and we can figure it out. I hope your shedule eases up on you soon my friend, hugs and kisses you back.

Now that we've seen Buffy's ex and badness of her past i was hoping to see a little light of Spikes. Like his ex-wives.
Author's Response: Well, I had considered it, but Cecily has been old news for awhile and Dru went insane. If I could have done it, it probably should have been earlier in the story. Buffy was the only one with unresolved issues and going back to her hometown was prime opportunity to run into her past. Thanks for the review sweety. Hugs.

Awesome chapter, and I third the motion of wanting to see the hotel scene. You Rock!!!
Author's Response: I just may include it yet. If I can find an appropriate way to integrate it without disrupting the flow of the next chapter. It seems a lot of folks really did want to read it. THanks for the review sweety. Smooches.

Date: 09/02/2007 - 10:24 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Awww Come on! dont just leave us like that haha i thought the DP scene was just going to come later :)
hahha add a side chappy :)
otherwise this chapter was amazing. i agree with the cordy comment thats kinda gross to see
Author's Response: Giggles - yeah, nobody likes to see a spine thru a ribcage. Looks like I'll be trying to integrate that dp scene - apparently a lot of folks want to read it. We'll see. Glad you enjoyed the update hon. THanks so very much for the lovely reivew. Huggles.

You left out the hotel scene?! I thought it simply didn't happen yet! You know, it's totally unfair of you. *pouting* It's just being a tease.
Author's Response: Welllll, at the time I figured people wouldn't want to read it, and not for just the squick factor involved for those that don't care for that sort of thing, but I guess I'm wrong. I'll see about adding it in, I can't promise anything, but I'l try. Glad you liked the chappy hon and thanks so much for the review. Kisses.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 10:06 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
I love love LOVE this story! Soooo good. Found it today and read all the chapters in one go! Can't wait for the last chapter. The story has been side-splittingly funny, sweet, aggrivating, and intoxicating all in one. Just the combination that I love.
*hugs* thanks for a great story!
Author's Response: Oh wow, welcome aboard and I'm thrilled you've enjoyed it all sweety. Very soon I'll have it all wrapped up. Humor is one thing I've found I like to write the most, so it makes me happy to hear you've had a few laughs. Thank you so much for the review hon, I truly appreciate it. Kisses.

Fabulous Chap! Wouldn't of minded the DP scen'e in the hotel, but then you know me, If Spike is involved pretty much anything if fair game in my book!
I loved the line about Cordy's spine showing through her ribcage! I've seen girls like that. And while I myself don't have to worry about that particular visual problem, I've seen women like that and he's right, bloody unattractive! My hubby thinks so too. There IS such as thing as too skinny!
I'm so looking forward to Spike finding out Buffy's little secret - does she know herself yet, or suspect. And I can only imagine what your next chap might surprise us with.
Enjoy the 3 day holiday. Haven't been at my job long enough to get paid for it, but at least I get a day off with the family.
I'm gonna email you now. hugs!
Author's Response: Omg - but of course I'm catching hell over not writing that hotel scene. I suppose the arm twisting is getting the muse excited too, hee hee. Well, far be it from me to deny what the majority wants. I almost feel bad for writing Cordy this way, but somebody had to play the role and Faith just didnn't seem right. Giggles, we'll throw some cheeseburgers Cordys way. I'm so glad you got the holiday off my friend, and it was lovely chatting with you the other day - and as always thanks for the review sweety. Smoochies to you.

wow that was a great update, and the "secret" is so cute, neither of them even know the secret at this point :) please hurry and update again soon. i can't wait to see how the secret unfolds for both buffy and spike.
Author's Response: You got it sweety. I just need a bit of time to polish the next chapter and will post sometime this week. Glad you liked the update and thanks for the review. Hugs.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 08:40 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
It was fantastic, and I look forward to the next update. Loved the interaction between Spike and Cordelia, can't wait for more xx
Author's Response: Revenge is always sweet to read and to write for that matter, lol. Thanks for the review hon, smoochies.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 08:12 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
God this is so steamy! I love it!
Author's Response: GLad you enjoyed the update hon, thanks for the review. Hugs you tight.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 05:55 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Aww... Buffy is definitely preggers, and apparently it's making her extra lusty... lol! As I was reading the love scene I kept worrying that they were gonna get caught, thank goodness they didn't though. ;-) And the Spike/Cordy interaction was fun, she totally deserved what she got. Good update! :D
Author's Response: Oh yes, she's pregnant alright. And all the symptoms that go along with it, giggles - poor Spike is clueless, but not for long. I'm happy you liked Cordy's comeuppance and the dressing room scene as well. Thanks for the review darling. Smoochies.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 03:11 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
haha i loved that chapter:) great work lol.....can't wait for the next update this story is awesome
Author's Response: Thanks so much sweety, I'm very pleased you liked the chappy. Huggles.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 02:03 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
The universe was kind to me, I wished this wouldn't be the last chapter of this fic and lo and behold its not, theres more to come!!! Yeay! Loved it all, good stuff!
Author's Response: I feel like I've made a liar out of myself too, by saying this was to be the last chapter - but of course I figured it HAD been so long since I updated and with the holiday weekend at hand, I wanted to give readers something. Glad you enjoyed the chappy darling and there should be at least 2 more updates. Thanks for the great review - smooches.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 01:35 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Can I second the hotel scene?. Feeling more than a little short changed here. We get that reallyl hot dressing room scene. The mirror bit!! Wow! Then you tease us unmercifully with the promise of Spuffy kink in a hotel room and instead skip to hours later. What's that all about? It not like you to shy away from a good sex scene? As one of my top three writers on SR I expect better from you! ;)
Author's Response: LMAO - ya know... I thought about it, I mean seriously thought about it and you're right. I've never shied away form such things. Sooooo, I think I have a plan to incorporate it anyway. I'll just have to wait until my guests have gone back home then see about writing it. If I can work it in without disrupting the lfow, I'll do it for ya sweety. It seems several people want to see it. Glad you enjoyed the chapy despite it and of course thanks so much for the review.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 12:28 am Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
i knew it i knew it! see all those little hints, grr i cant want for the next chapter update soon :[ haha he sure put cordelia in her place xD what an entertaining chapter again update soon because im on the edge of my seat :O what isnt new? :P
Author's Response: Hee hee - yup. And I hope you like my plans for the reval as well. It's too much fun to write a clueless Spike. Cordy desserved her own comeuppance - I simply couldn't resist writing it. I'm glad you enjoyed the update sweety. It shouldn't be too long b4 I post again. Thanks for the review... huggles.

Date: 09/01/2007 - 12:07 am Title: Extended Leave Part 2
hhmm craving weird foods? why does it feel like you are hinting at something? ill find out in the next chapter, lovely chapter, funny and great interactions between the summers clan and spike :]
Author's Response: LMAO - I know, its pretty obvious to some, but there are those who didn't guess believe it or not. It's just fun to write it this way I suppose. Glad you liked the chappy sweety and thanks so much for the review. Hugs and kissess my friend.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 09:58 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Awww...I was kinda hoping for more Spuffy loving but this was good too! Maybe a one shot? Hehe. Love it anyways!! Can't wait for Buffy to tell Spike. Looks like Joyce knows already. Can't wait!! Love this!!!
Author's Response: No worries - there's always more spuffy luvin on the horizon for this couple, *winks*. Next stop is the reveal and I hope you enjoy it as much as this chapter sweety - thanks for the review. Huggles.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 08:59 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Really good dressing room sex. Then you talked about dp and ass sex...and then we get Cordelia. Cruel! Good chap though.
Author's Response: Thanks hon - I enjoyed the idea of some public naughtiness, hee hee hee. Hopefully I can write the hotel scene and fit it in next chapter without breaking up the flow, we'll see. THanks for the review darling. Kisses.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 08:48 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
yay!!! my nagging helps you update...i'll have to take note of that. :) Oh my god this is good. I can't believe how dense Spike is not not notice Buffy is going to have a baby. I mean morning sickness, strange food, tired, and the weight gain thing...aw well men have there heads in clouds all day anyway. Spike's just being a cluess guy. I wonder if Buffy's mom secretly knows. I can't wait for her to tell him and he'll be all cute and excited. And I'm also anxious to see your 'little surprise' that you have hiding in that sleeve of yours.
Can't wait till next week for the update but i'll be so sad to see it end. But i will enjoy coming back to this story every once and a while and reread it over and over again.
Author's Response: HAHAHHA, indeed it does. SPike is absolutely clueless, which will make the reveal that much funnier to read, *winks*. Buffy's mom is testing her theory, giggles, as mothers often do in their own unique way. I do hope you enjoy the little surprise I have as well next update. Thanks so much for the wonderful review. SMooches to you.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 07:37 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
you know i don't mind this story going on forever and ever one bit!!!! write as much as you want!!! but that's a little crazy. i mean you do have a life and i'm sure you want to write other fics besides this one but.....a girl can dream, can't she??? i for one would not have minded the hotel scene. i was actually looking forward to it but as you said not every reader is as openminded about that particular thing. anyway, loved it sooooooo much. really wanted buffy to claw cordy's eyes out but what you wrote worked so much better. loved it soooooo much. please keep that promise and post next week. this was a great start to my weekend.
Author's Response: I'd love to write more of it, but unfortunetely the main conflict is over, sighs - time to wrap it up. I have some other wips I haven't posted yet, but of course need to wrap up TE as well before posting anything else and get back to 'what dreams may come' too. Looks like I'll be working on the hotel scene for this one... readers want their smut and far be it from me to deny them, LOL. Yup, I'll keep my promise hon - and maybe a little something extra to boot. Thanks so much for the awesome review my friend. Hugs and kisses to you.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 07:15 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
love it, and cant wait to read next chapter. Thanks for making it soon
Author's Response: No problem hon - the original size of the chapter was too large to post at once and I merely wanted some time to polish it up before posting again. Glad you liked the update and thanks for the lovely review. Hugs.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 06:24 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Bah, she needed to pour a glass of water over the bitch's head, too, and watch her melt
Author's Response: HAHAHHAHAHA, you are too funny lady. Thanks for the review. Smooches to you my friend.

Date: 08/31/2007 - 06:13 pm Title: A ‘Course’ of ‘Obstacles’
Simply Fantastic Darling!!!! Ummmmm...maybe you could right the hotel scene as a side story....cause DAMN that would be wicked hot!!! You do realize I have to go take a cold shower now! Between the dressing room and the unmentioned hotel scene.....WHEW! Can't wait til the next chappie!!!!! ~Hugs n Kisses!~
Author's Response: Well, I just might write the hotel scene into the next chapter, *winks*. A lot of readers have voiced their opinion that they wanted it vs not wanting it - its a matter of writing it without disrupting the flow. GLad you enjoyed the hotness hon, I'll get to work on the hotel scene and get it out there one way or another, *winks*. Thanks for the review. Hugs you tight.
