IM SO HAPPY THAT THEYRE GETTING MARRIED AND HE WAS SOO EXCITED ABOUT THE BABY!!! also the end of the chapter was VERY sexy, great job. i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. im so glad that everythings coming together and that theyre getting married and starting a family. please update as soon as u can, i cant wait to see how it ends. THANX SO MUCH!!! U ROCK!!

Author's Response: Yup - happiness at every turn for our couple from now on... they deserve that much. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the chapter , darling... huggles.

loved the latest chapter! I can't wait to read the conclusion. This story is just so funny and totally sweet.

Author's Response: Awwww, thank you so much sweetheart - I can't tell you how happy I am that you've enjoyed all the elemnts of the fic. Yup, one more chappy to go and I'll wrap it up on a happy note. Thanks so much for the grat reivew. Hugs you tight.

Sorry I've been slacking off on "feeding" you lately. LOL. Still loving this fic including the hot ass sex. *winks* Glad you changed your mind. I'm going to be so sad when the fic ends. On the bright I look forward to seeing what you come up with in your next fic. Any ideas yet? More snarky smutty Spuffy would definitely be of the good. =D

I'm going to be contrary and say I hope Spike gets to have his baby boy. Whenever there's a Spuffy baby predictably it always turns out to be a girl. But I think a boy would be a better fit for them. Unlike my girly girl self, Buffy doesn't seem the type who'd want a baby girl so she can dress her up like her own personal dolly and teach her how to cook and bake, you know? Tee hee.

Author's Response: I'm glad I changed my mind too - it was kinda fun writing that scene, lol. Oh yes. I have tons of ideas and plot bunnies in the works right now. When my muse doesn't want to cooperate on any current wips here at TSR, he's writing other fics that just aren't ready to post yet. (I intend to get them more than halfway written before posting anything) I have about 3 I'm working on, but the one to be on the look out for next (once TE and IAN are finished) is entitled Murphy's Law, another comedy/romance where you guessed it... whatever can go wrong does. And of course I'll be updating WDMC also - haven't forgot about that one. As for SPike getting his son, *winks*, you'll find out next chapter. My husband was like Spike, he was just convinced, becuase it was what he wanted, that he'd have a son first and then a daughter... damn guy got his way too, lol. I agree, I don't see Buffy playing to a baby girl, at least not in this fic, hee hee. Thanks so much for the truly wonderful review hon, hugs and kisses.

Love, Love, Love, Love and did I mention,,,,Loved it! So glad my FAVORITE story is back and with a bang *ahem*. The picture on the car was hilarious! Best weekend wishes to you, dear genius!

Author's Response: Bang indeed, giggles - YAY, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the update (and the funny pic, too), and of course hopefully both our weekends will be pleasant - and for my muse, I hope he's productive. THaniks for the awesome review hon, smoochies to you.

Awesome chapter IBE. I wish other authors would take lessons from you. There isn't anything you don't give us with true style and grace. Really! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it your work. Everything flows so smoothly and you deliver all the goods. This is a story worth rereading many many times. It's one of my favorites.

Author's Response: Wow, your review has really made my day darling, not to mention I'm blushing all over the place. I do try to constantly improve but its hard to tell sometimes if I've accomplished that or not. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and I'm very happy you enjoy my work so much. Hugs you tight.

Squeeeee, you WROTE THE HOTEL SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAH, I'm in need of an ice cold shower now. Where is that boyfriend of mine anyhow. A seriously funny, romantic and HOT HOT HOT chapter. I'll be so sad to see it end but I'll be looking forward to anything you choose to write.

Author's Response: Yup - mag-rose's review shook me out of my temporary insanity. Glad you enjoyed it as I realize it's not something every reader enjoys. Thank you very much for the great review. Huggles.

I am in serious need of a cigarette right now, WOW. I'm not usually into reading that kind of sex, but the way you wrote it was tasteful AND hot. You had me rolling with laughter this chapter. The car pic? Way funny. And Spike was just perfect in his propsal, so cocky. THere's so much I loved about this chapter I'd wind up writing along list. Just know I loved every single word of it. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.

Author's Response: Oh cool, I'm glad I didn't steer you away from reading it. I realize it's not everybody's thing but it doesn't have to be crude either. Giggles - glad you've been enjoying my rather twisted sense of humor sometimes. Thanks so much for the review, I'm blushing a deep shade of crimson from your kind words darling. Smooches to you.

Marriage and a baby!!!!!!! Who would have thought it at the beginning with these two, but it's soooo sweet.

Author's Response: Giggles, they were definetely so far removed from the idea at the start. But writing the road towards Spike's redemption was fun and hey... it's the American dream. Now all they need is a white picket fence to go with a new place, lool. THanks for the reviedw. SMooches to you darling.

Yay!!! You updated. I've been waiting all week for this :) Well i say since Spike wasn't making all the choices and getting his way on moving thing, that Buffy gets her own little way and has a baby girl.
Now Spike will be even more pretective and I wish we could have seen that. I wanted to see him out in the field and all concerned and going insane with worry and Gunn making fun of him.
Hope the next chapter is up real soon, but i'll be sad that this story will end. Even though when stories are complete i wish they would just go on forever if the writing is this good.

Author's Response: Well, the story has one more chapter to it - you might see some unique things yet, *winks*. Awww, thank you hon, what a wonderful compliment, I'm grinning like mad right now. Thanks so much for the very lovely review. Hugs you tight.

Good God I wish I smoked right now becuse I need a fag to calm me down right about npw that was so bloody hot ...Loved it honey I'm going to miss this when it's all done...How about some Spike Shaped cookies to feed that muse...

Author's Response: OMFG... rofl - I'm in tears, that liitle emoticon is too freakin' funny lady. Where DO you get these things? I'm thrilled you enjoyed the hotel scene honey - guess the majority of readers won out, lol. THanks for the awesome and cute review. SMoochies to you.

And off topic: The manip you used in "Extended Leave Part 1", she made two icons from it :)) One I've uploaded at my IJ. But I don't think you'll need them at the moment, or?
*ggg* Now I understand why you used the photo. A reason more to always have a fresh washed car *gg* It was fun to read Buffy stressing out and trying to hide the evidence. ~ *g* Had to grin when I read on. So Hank is very happy to have Spike as his SiL especially after fearing he'd got Angel for that job ;-)
Yeah, Giles will for sure clean his glasses *giggles* but he will be very pleased I think. Just as Spike is.
And the ring is a key too; now they are 'aloud' to sleep in one bed :) Hot flashback too.
Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: Oh cool. I'll have to go check it out. LMAO - you know my humor well - couldn't resist it. We'll see an appearance from Ripper next chapter. I decided he should have an important spot during an important moment, *winks*. Glad you liked the update hon, thanks so much for the great review. Smooches to you my friend.

Oh I loved it, at least now he knows about the baby, and has the reaction every soon to be father has I think,.

Author's Response: Yup - ev erything has been revealed, well except for the sex of the baby, but that's for next chapter, *winks*. Yup, he reacted pretty typical of most males... it's the way my husband reacted with our first child too. Thanks for the awesome review dalring. Smooches.
