I was wondering how Giles reacted to the news , thanks for clearing that up. Can't wait to see what kind of angst you have in store for them, because I know you ,and I know you have some planned. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hi Jo, you know me so well!! lol! Good old Giles! What would our Spike do without him? Thanks for reviewing - won't keep you waiting too long :)

So sorry you're having a bad day, sweetie. So glad to see and update on this one so soon too! Glad this fic is on it's way now. Loved the first one and know I'll love this one too...already doing so! Thanks for the update and as time allows please write more. And if the world gets too bad, take out your spiffy (not spuffy) pics of JM and you (you are so pretty, girl!) and remember just how nice you look in that photo, and laugh at his "spots" (for what he charges for a photo, you'd think he could afford a dermatologist! LOL!)!!!
~~K.~~

Author's Response: Hi K, you really cheered me up! *blushes at saying nice pic* tee hee Poor JM being green obviously not good for him lol. Hoping to get plenty done over weekend! :) Thanks again! *hugs*

New chapter, wohoo! Wow, Giles took the news pretty good. Must've been a huge relief for Spike. Can't wait to see what happens next, although I'm a little nervous at the fact that Dru's in the middle of the banner... ;)

Author's Response: Hi Pet, you know me...I love making you guys nervous. tee hee! Thanks so much for reviewing :)

I'm really glad you decided to continue this storey. :) I love the characters, and I can't wait to see where you take them!

Author's Response: Hi Braydie, I enjoyed writing CL so much that I had to play with them again. Especially nice to get Rich back in to the plot in next few chapters. Thanks for reviewing :)

Glad Giles took the news so well! Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Giles has been a good guy to Spike since he was made his guardian. Thanks for taking the time to review :)

That was a lovely scene with Spike and Giles. Very touching. I liked how Giles popped the lens out of his glasses (I’m surprised that doesn’t happen more often!) and his thoughts of Spike’s name on college applications. Lol

Wonderfully detailed emotions in this chapter - thanks for the update!

Author's Response: I was re reading UV and I had him do it there too - totally forgot!! lol I really enjoyed writing the relationship with S and R. Thanks so much for letting me know Michelle D :)

not much to say except great chapter because i've been wondering what had ever since CL ended

update soon

p.s. hope you feel better

Author's Response: Hi Trisha B, so pleased that you liked it. That's where most expected CL to end but I thought it's be damp squib and knew that I had sequel in mind!! Feeling much better today thank you :)

Hey sweetie! I hope you will have a better day tomorrow. The story is still excellent, Spike adopting the name..I can`t wait to read more!

Author's Response: Hi hun, yes much better today thanks! :) I just had to make him properly Spike! No way could he still be James! Keep on letting me know *hugs*
