Oh yes, some serious Angelus (and Dru) ass-kicking! Will did really well - a chip off the old block! I would not want to see the bloodied pulp of Angelus that was left for Buffy to stake after a royally brassed off Spike got done with him.

Author's Response: The kids are pretty brave and feisty - but then, how could they not be?

wonderful update, really enjoyed. many thanks for sharing this lovely story

Author's Response: Thanks. One more wrap-up chapter to go. Thanks for reading and commenting so often.

Oh no... sadly clever of Dru to get a hold on the children. Too late now... Sadly for Lucy too, she got turned. Maybe Joy will be save for a moment but Will... even if he was able to defend himself against Lucy, Dru will be another case; this will be harder. He can thank his father for getting away... too late for Dru to have regrets she tried to take Spike children from him.
Bad luck for Angelus... he underestimated Buffy (thought she killed Spike and how she would take to have her children hurt/killed). Now he had to face Spike.. bad luck indeed. Good to know that Joy is safe now too.
The Pratts make a good team (children included).
PS: There is no epilogue yet (Ch. 14) at last just in this moment. (Chapter title)

Author's Response: Thanks for the steady reviews, CK. And, you're right. There is no epilogue, but there is another chapter to wrap things up.
