Well, slowly but surely ;)...

So Buffy is determined to help Willliam to be recognized in his rights as son of Don Rodrigo De Alcazar. To listen to her, it seems so easy. I fear our girl sees soon the task will be... difficult?

Aunt Darla, to begin with... A great problem. She is not precisely happy with the fact that William is the new administrator. I doubt she would jump of joy to call him "stepson"...

Angel... Difficult to say... He may be happy to learn that William and him are brothers. But learning that William is the real heir of their father? Wait and see...

Joyce. Mommy dearest. Desperatly attached to the Agreements (with a big "A") . Even if William is definitively recognized as legitimate son of Rodrigo, Joyce can perfectly keep on seeing him only as a bastard. And married with her daughter? Mommy dearest would not be so happy.

It will be hard to wait til the next chapter ;)!

Little Aimée seems to have big problems herself, too big for this little head... But it doesn't mean she can't cause big problems to other people.

I see a big dark cloud upon our William and Buffy... Little Aimée, yes, but big shadow...

I also see another cloud, THE explanation to William about the past engagement between Buffy and Angel... Ouch...

Tempest? Storm? Hurricane? That's the question.

What can I say? I can't wait the next chapter :)!

Author's Response: Oh, yes, Buffy is very determined to help him be recognized as a De Alcazar, and even if it might look difficult, it might be easier than they all expect. ;) *hint hint*

Yep, Darla can be a problem, but there are some situations that might ease her into an accepting mood.

You'll find out very soon of Angel's reaction to William being his brother. He won't find out he's the heir yet, though, not until don Rodrigo gets back into the picture. ;)

Joyce, you're so very right about her. ;) Although it won't be her decision to make, not really.

Little Aimée's problems are just starting, she is going to have more in her plate than she'd ever be able to handle, but as you say she will still cause problems to others.

And you're so very right over the big dark Aimée-shaped cloud. ;)

That other cloud won't come into play until after Buffy and Spike get married, though. *more hints*

Tempest, storm, hurricane? Maybe all of the above? *wide evil grin*

Thank you so much for reviewing, sorry for the delay in answering and posting. *hugs*

Awww... what a sweet reunion Spike and Buffy are having, I just loved their conversation. Buffy is right, Joyce probably will see the resemblance between Spike and his father immediately, the upcoming confrontation is gonna be amazing. Fantastic chapter!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much, darling! The upcoming confrontation is coming soon to an archive near you, we just have to get some things out of the way and hopefully it will be in chapter 37. Thanks again and sorry for the delay in posting and in answering your review. *hugs*

what is Aimee up to! It can never by anything good............How will William break the news. I hope that it is Joyce that notices the resemblance. Looking forward to another chapter.

Author's Response: That's the million dollar question! Hee, and yes, she's never up to anything good. ... Oh, don't worry, anyone that knew Rodrigo will recognize William as soon as he sees him. ;)

Thanks for your review and sorry for taking so long in answering it. *hugs*

Loved the update. Gotta love maria. Just love the way things are evolving so far. I'm sure we all understand about RL. Or we should. You are writing this for our reading pleasure. Is there anything I can do for your muse? I absolutely love this story. Thanks again for the update.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you love María because you'll be seeing a whole lot more of her soon. Sorry for the long wait, but I think my muse finally decided to come back from vacation. *crosses fingers*
