I think that his grandmother's jewelry should include a wedding ring that Buffy would like to wear.
Love the story.

Author's Response: Hmm... I'll keep that in mind for the next chapters. Thanks for the review!

*gasps* No author's note? LOL, I just tease. Anyway, this chapter was way cute. I love the exchange of rings, even if they're cheap ones. Where are my smoochies? I'm a woman in need, man. Yeah, I know, it'll take time for that, but we know I'm not a very patient person. Still loving this story to pieces=)

Author's Response: Shut up, you. You're the one that told me I didn't have to have one. You're gonna have to wait for your "smoochies" for a bit still, babe, but sweet talk me enough and I might make you a snog worthy manip :P

Ex-girlfriend calling in? Can't wait to read the next chapter!

Author's Response: *lol* C'mon now, I'm not that mean... well, okay, I am, but I'm trying not to be :P
Thank you for reviewing, I'm glad you liked :)

good update

Author's Response: Thank you! :)

I have to admit that when I first started reading, all I could focus on was how awkward it would be to be Buffy in that situation. Moving into someone else's already established life can't be easy. However, by the end of the chapter, I was waiting with bated breath for that "reunion" kiss... which you didn't give us, you big meanie! :) Oh, the suspense... who could be at the door?

BTW, your layout of the apartment is pretty cool. But I noticed there is only one nightstand - who will get it? Assuming Buffy shares his bed. (Can you tell I am possesive about my things/space?)

Author's Response: Well, we'll say Spike is generous and he lets Buffy have the nightstand all to her lonesome. I actually never thought about having two since me and my wife only have one as well. *lol*

It would be really awkward to suddenly be thrust upon someone else's life, having to adjust again, but, talking from personal expirience, I think if they really want it, they'll make it work :) Thank you for the review, sweet!

Awesome chapter :) Almost kisses are quite the way to keep us on the edge of our seats lol. Sounds like they've got a ways to go, though, before those almost kisses can become real live lovey dovey smooches :-P

Author's Response: Yeah, and here I thought I could never write a semi-clean fic (without it sucking) what with my pervy brain and all. Though I think it will be a while before we actually get to the real snogging, of the lovey dovey kind. Thanks for the review! :)

Oh I really hope it will work out for them. They both want to try so hard. But with Buffy's secret? I hope it will work out. I guess at this point of his life Spike would have accepted the baby even if he wasn't the biological father. So he'll be hurt later. ~ Looking forward to more. Earning the nickname = fun :)

Author's Response: Maybe he would of. I never thought about it like that :) Thanks for the review, sweet. I'm glad you liked.

somehow, i hope ur wife mks u post thousands of chappies soon ", cant wait for e next bit..

Author's Response: She's been very supportive in this, so I'm sure she won't let you down in making me post :P Thanks for the review :)

It's obvious that Spike already cares for her, in the way he thinks of her, and how he felt about her... living space lol. And it's apparent that Buffy didn't intend to take advantage of him. Not really, anyway. Considering the sparks that are already flying with this couple, maybe there really is hope for Buffy. Great chapter, sweet :)

Oh, and, love the way you got Spike his nickname! lol, It's total awesomeness :)

Author's Response: Well, I wouldn't say he cares abotu her... not yet, but he's getting there though. Thanks for reviewing, glad you liked the nickname gettage part :P

It's going to suck when he finds out its not his. Because you can never bury the hatchet without someone digging it back up forever. You know? Anywho, great chapter. More soon please.

Author's Response: *lol* Very true :) But she's scared right now and not thinking clearly, but she'll learn. Thank you for the review, love. I'm glad you liked :)

Too tired to make any intelligent comments. Loved the update. Excited and waiting for more.

Author's Response: Thank you for taking the time to tell me that much, I appreciate it :)

Can't wait to see how this develops. There's probably a rocky path ahead but hopefully it'll turn out well. Right? :)

Author's Response: Hopefully, lol :P
You're going to have to keep reading to find out :)
Thanks for the review!

I know how that is, with the sometimes difficult chaps to write, even when you know how you're going to do it-- if you get frustrated, just give yourself a break! :) I don't think you're moving too fast, personally-- like Spike thought, the solution to his current frustrations "landed in his lap" and he acted impulsively-- doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, but it goes well with Spike's character. Buffy, on the other hand, is desperately in need of someone-- it would be hard enough being in the situation of single mother-to-be with the biological father having just left the country, but add on top of that her entire family sort of drifting apart after Joyce's death... and you've got one lady ready to move in with her husband!

Love the chap-- looking forward to more!

Author's Response: RL is tough right now so the breaks I'm taking are more for need than want, lol... but writing this fic helps me to de-stress so I end up getting moody if I don't have time to write :P
I'm always worried about Buffy's reactions and if they're true to character because I don't always get her... I can't get in her head 'cause I'm always in Spike's. Having been in a situation similar to the one he's going through in the fic gives me an all right view of his standpoint, so... but it's awesome to hear feedback on that to let me know I'm not completely screwing this up. *lol*
Thanks for the review, sweet!
