Enjoyed..

Uh-oh.... Billy's gonna do something scary. Or so I think. Great chapter, can't wait for more from this!

Great plot line with the Angel-Conner connection

I just want to give poor Joyce a great big hug. Shanny has made her daughter feel like she felt growing up. I laughed about Grandpa Spike's lie downs. Sweet innocent children. LOL

So many interesting things going on in this chapter. Joyce's musing were very insightful. It's so sad that like her mother, Joyce also feels unloved by her parents... I hope things turn out better for Joyce than they did for Shanny. I gotta say I enjoyed learning a bit more about Billy's powers, that boy is one intriguing character. Angel's first glimpse of the twins was fascinating, I never would've guessed Billy was a ringer for Darla. Can't wait for Angel's reunion with Spike and Buffy. Wonderful update! :D

and the warmth of their love flowed over her I wonder if she really was able to feel it. That's nothing a 'normal girl' would be able too, like an empath. Than Shanny wouldn't be so normal like she thinks.
But Shanny wants to find the father of her children now.. good decision.
Oh, I knew it! Ah well, I just guessed :)) Indeed, it's Connor. But Angel wasn't able to find him before.
What will Angel do now? Looking forward to find out.

Author's Response: Thank you, as always, for reviewing. Much appreciated.

I love when there is an update on this story. It is really picking up momentum. I had a feeling the dad was Connor. How cool is it that Angel, Buffy, and Spike share grandkids?

Author's Response: Yes, I’m trying to get everyone involved now the years have passed!

I new it, I knew it!

Maybe she'll stop feeling so disappointingly normal when she finds out she was suckered into bearing miracle children.

Oh, NO... didn't expect that one !!

Liked that update.

Poor Shanny.. if she wasn't so sure that her parents didn't love her and tried to talk to them when things got more 'normal' (if that is ever the case) and tried to get to know them, hear their side, maybe things would be better for her. For now, it's too late. Maybe she'll come around one day.
If she hadn't refused to speak to them *sigh* She hurt not only her parents, she has hurt herself too with that.
And Shanny has a picture of the children's father. More chance to find him... if the other knew of that.

Lovely story. Shanny is so sad, I feel really sorry for her, and her life is totally believable. Keep writing!

I feel for Shanny but at the same time she comes off as quite childish. Being jealous of her own kids is a litle sad.but I suppose becoming a mom at 15 may have stunted her development a little. The little details about who the twins father is is further cementing who I suspect he might be. I am glad we finally got to see grown up Shanny's POV. Loving this story.

Author's Response: Thank you for your interesting comments. Yes, Shanny has never quite grown up. She is only 24 when the story starts - the same age Buffy was when she had her. And, of course, that’s half the problem - she knows she is not her mother!

Wow, I can't believe I've fallen so far behind on this story. Really had to play catch up. Really wonder who the real father is. Sure can understand how Shanny feels about her parents. It would really be hard for a child to understand, even tho they explain it to her, che can't really comprehend. Wonder what Billy really is. Even tho the kids have these powers, doesn't mean they have to turn out evil. Right?

Author's Response: Yes, this started out as Joyce and Billy’s story but Shanny is such an important character that I need to do her justice as well. Glad you’re enjoying it.
