Okay, while I like your story, I can tell you that the socal services scenes are a bit over the top. 1. He could not just barge into a home as he did. This was his first visit of a new case, he should have pulled out ID. Instead he used his height and weight to force himself in the door. 2. He showed no respect. Buffy and Spike need to show a backbone with him. He can't just storm the place and search. Plus he must make an appointment with them each time he visits.. 3, He can't search dawn's room just because he sees condoms (Buffy's bright idea bits her on the ass) 4. Social services could not and would not put cameras in a persons home. Especially without a judges premission, Buffy is not thinking properly, man she needs to move her and Spike into her mother's room. She is an adult and still sleeping on her 16 year ol room with twin bed. No social worker would by a relationship. Hello her mother room has a bigger closet.

Author's Response: Hee...I do understand your critique. *nods* It is legitimate. Don't worry...your concerns are addressed in a later part of the fic. I already have up to chapter 14 written. Just trust me on this... ;o)
