Though I was confident that Spike wouldn't do anything with Faith..
once she left I was very relieved.. (well, I am somewhat pessimistic..)
"Don’t talk to me as your boyfriend. Or as the father of your baby. Talk to me as your best friend. I’m still him, remember?” A really great/sweet thing to say.. And now I really fell for Spike. He really is amazing.
Glad that they decided to go with Spikes music career :)
Loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you! I understand what you meant when you said you were relieved when Faith left. She always stirs up trouble, doesn't she?
Glad you liked the "best friend" line! :)

Loved it, as usual. Can't wait to read more. :)
Author's Response: Thanks!!!

Oh, don't quite now. I love this story. I still think its headed in a good direction. I have a nagging feeling there's a little more angst around the corner though, especially with Buffy's mood swings.
Author's Response: Thanks! More angst, yes, but not for long!

This was a really lovely chappie, loved Spike's song ...it was perfect. And Hank is being a good father,the offer to move in was practical. Less stress that way. I'm glad Buffy told Spike to pursue his singing, even tho it'll be hard on them being apart.
Can't wait to see where you take this.=)
Author's Response: :) Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! My goal for the beginning with Hank was to get him involved again, and I'm glad that it's going over well. :)

Glad Hank offered Spike to live with them. And even more glad Spike turned Faith down, not that I doubted he would. Can't wait for more of this addictive story. :)
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks Pet! Glad you liked it!

aww....loved him singing at the end
not sure if I want Faith in here coming after Spike
post more soon
Author's Response: Thanks Nicole! Don't worry about Faith! She'll definitely cause some tension but not for long. ;)

Loved the chapter! On to the next... :)
Author's Response: Thanks Pet!

This was such a sweet chapter. I absolutely loved it. The song was perfect for it. Look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you!

Great chapter! Buffy and Spike's talk was great, they have some big decisions to make.
Ugh, Parker is a jerk. Hope he gets his comeuppance!
Author's Response: :) Thanks Xaph! Yeah they definitely do have some big decisions! More to come soon!

Really liking the fast updates.. had several chapters to read this morning :)
Good that the pregnancy is going well. I like how its not all about the pregnancy but you still tell what is happenning with it..
I wonder what will happen with Spike's music.. Really hoping it will go good..at least eventually..
Nice that Buffy and Spike are talking. Still I am a bit worried about them..
I really enjoyed the updates.. even if I wanted to hit several people in the head..like Parker. Amazing how stupidone can be.. You really write the characters well.
Looking forward to more :)
Oh, and the Valentine's day..Hot!
Author's Response: Thanks Kirsty! :) If I don't finish the story by Monday, the updates may slow down, because I'm starting a full-time job, and I'll be working 40-48 hours a week!
Yeah, I'm trying not to make the pregnancy be THE story. The story's more about Buffy and Spike and if they can stay friends and lovers at the same time, which Buffy feared might be impossible at the beginning of the story.
Lots more soon!

I am very much enjoying this story, but I was wondering when we can expect the next chapter to "After the Fall?"
Author's Response: Thanks Greer! I'm starting a new job next week. My goal is to try to finish this story before then, and then pick up with ATF again. :)

Thanx for the quick update. :) Can somebody please throw Parker into a ditch or something? He is pissing me off. Jerk. Liked Xander defending her. And poor Spike is really trying so hard but Buffy seems to be pressuring him, even tho she doesn't mean to.
Good chappie, as usual. Still enjoying. =)
Author's Response: Thanks Ami! Yeah, Parker deserves a long, long, terrible beating, yeah? LOL!

It's good that Buffy and Spike's friends are clued in about the pregnancy, they both could use the support :)
And Yay for Giles the talent scout! :D I'm glad he made an appearance. I understood that he wasn't Spike's dad, but I wished he were because he would've probably been nicer to his son lol

Way to go, Buffy. What a scumbag Parker is.
By the way, if money is so tight, and Buffy and Spike are watching Dawn so much, perhaps they should just move into the house? They would save rent money, and they could watch Dawn whenever without worrying about where to babysit her (the house or their apartment). If might help to have Buffy's dad around, too. Another adult is always nice to have around after a baby is born.
Thanks for updating so frequently.

I'm all for going to college. But I don't think Spike should go to college. I think going to college, being in a band where you need to be all over the place, being with Buffy and the baby is too much. If the band doesn't work out then they will know within a year or two. He could still go to college then. My heart goes out to Spike and the good man he is trying to be to support his little family. Especially since his dad wasn't around. He is trying to do his best. And I could so understand the way he reacted when Buffy asked him about college. I know Buffy didn't mean anything by it. But Spike is trying so hard to do what is right for Buffy and the baby. He probably feels that he is being stretch to the limit and he can't give anymore. I also wanted to say that I'm so in love with this Spike. Well, I'm always in love with him but this one especially. LOL He is such a supporting, understanding, nice, always there kind of guy. How supporting he has been with Buffy is so wonderful to read. What an amazing man this Spike is. Even more so when his dad wasn't around to teach him how to be a man. Dru was stupid when she let him get away. Any woman who lets a man like that get away is stupid.

Thanks for all the updates. Things are coming along nicely. Lovely progress.

Date: 05/06/2009 - 09:09 pm Title: Chapter 28
God, Parker is such a prick. I really hope he gets whats coming to him soon. He really deserves a swift kick to the groin!
Yay for Xander for sticking up for Buffy!
Great chapter!

Good Xander for coming to the rescue. Hope things work out in the college arena of Spike's life here. Great chapter. Look forward to the next chapter.

You have to continue! I need to know how it ends :o)
I think you're doing a great job.
Author's Response: Thanks Jewel!

Date: 05/06/2009 - 05:38 pm Title: Chapter 27
Worth continuing? Well, I think it's a good story, but you have got many threads going. Maybe you just need to decide when in the timeline you want to finish it. Then, you could work backwards and plot out the events you want to cover. From there, you could either cover them in a really comprehensive manner, or in a less detailed way. I wouldn't leave it unfinished, because that's never good and always frustrating for readers *grr argg*. :) Anyway, good luck deciding.
Thanks for posting, by the way. Is Dru going to go off the deep end now?
Author's Response: Thanks! I really don't think there's that many threads going on in this story. There's the Buffy/Hank angle, the Buffy/Spike/music/baby/family angle, and of course the Drusilla/Parker pair that likes to muck things up for them. I think I can easily tie those ends up. :)
More will be posted soon!

Date: 05/06/2009 - 05:27 pm Title: Chapter 26
Mmm... smut. Always of the good. :)
Author's Response: Haha, glad you liked it!

Date: 05/06/2009 - 04:58 pm Title: Chapter 27
i wouldn't feel sorry for her, i'm thinking it was an abortion and not a miscarriage like buffy thinks, typical. but i'm disappointed because i wanted everyone to find out that dru was pregnant, too, so then maybe they would stop bothering buffy.
Author's Response: Yeah, I understand what you mean. That would've been an interesting angle, but at this point, I wanted to focus more on Buffy and Spike and try to fade Dru out of the picture.

Date: 05/06/2009 - 04:30 pm Title: Chapter 27
Very good chapter! Please continue writing this story. I've just read the entire thing in one day. I couldn't look away! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I hope you continue to read it and enjoy it!

The hard reality of life. Balancing your career in music with family. Going to be very stressful for the both of them.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yep...stressful, but worth it..:)

Date: 05/06/2009 - 03:07 pm Title: Chapter 27

Author's Response: :) Thanks! You'll find out soon enough!
