Great chapter. I'm glad that Hank's not taking Buffy away from Sunnydale, not something she needs. The only idea I can think of for this story is maybe have Spike's dad show up in some way, other than just being an unheard voice on the other line. Just a thought. Look forward to the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: :) Thanks! Yeah, definitely a good idea about Spike's dad! Thanks!

Poor Buffy. Losing her mom because of Angel. Good thing she has Spike in her life. Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, it's good that Spike's got her back, that's for sure!

lovely story. You love your baby ones don't you? haha....I'm glad Hank is not taking her away, he realized that Buffy would just hate him more if he did. He can't be selfish at a time like this and put his needs first...some fathers do that. I think its a bit symbolic that Hank and Buffy end up where they are...two people who made mistakes sharing the same house....guess they can relate to each other again.

Input: Could have Buffy conversing with Dawn a bit...practice her mothering on this kid, but at the same time have that torn feeling about how this child was the cause to all Buffy's problems to start with. Maybe if Buffy warms up to Dawn, Spike can too...would be fun to have him play 'Big Brother Spike'.
Hope this music career can be something big too...Spike seems in the dumps and needs some confidence in himself so he can take care of his girl and baby.

Author's Response: Thank you! I really enjoy baby stories, and there just aren't enough Spuffy baby fics. I love reading them, because I like putting Spike in the position of 'daddy'. :) I think you're spot on about Buffy and Spike. Despite the hurt he caused their family, and the guilt he's most likely gonna feel for leaving and this happening, he's still her father, and he's really the only family she's got left, aside from Spike and Dawn. Thanks for your input, too! I'm already thinking about a meeting between Dawn and Buffy. My idea is to put Spike and Buffy in a position where they'll be playing house. With Hank's job, he's going to be at work a lot, and while Dawn'll be in school (she's kindergarten age) she'll still need adult supervision...and there's where Buffy and Spike come in. And the music is definitely going to be a bigger plotline for Spike. :)

Oh wow. This story has been intense so far. I hope that Spike and Buffy pull through.

Hmmm. Could be a girl...or maybe a Boy. Who knows only you get to decide lol. Doesn't have to be a Joy..Could be a Jake.

You are right about Spike being more of a supporting character right now, but that is what he is the supportive soon father to be. That is because all this is happening to Buffy centrally. I personally don't mind it, it just Works for the story you are telling at this point, and as the story goes on you can Shift it to spuffy centered family oriented...If that makes any sense at all lol.

Oh and what is Spike's fathers name...Giles maybe? Or just an unnamed arsehole..and what about Spike's mother and step mother..just some questions floating around my head, not really important questions, just curious questions.

Author's Response: Thanks! I haven't quite settled on the sex of the baby, but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm gonna decide. Not telling though. I like the name Jake, but it brings up too many bad memories from older fan fictions from another fandom I used to write, and the character of Jake was usually the bad guy. Haha...:) Thanks for your honesty about Spike's character. The story's definitely going to take on a more family-centered feel very soon. Actually as soon as the next chapter, when we'll see some development in the mending between Buffy and her dad and introducing little Dawnie properly to her sister. Spike's father isn't Giles in this. I think I'll reveal his name in the next chapter. He's just a character...not one from the show. I thought about having a character be his father, but I figured that Giles is often Spike's father in fan fics, as is Ethan Rayne, so I figured, eh, he'll just be a normal guy. LOL...:) More to come soon!

Dad coming back.. surprise.. and his attittude toward Spike - even more so..

Enjoying

Author's Response: Yeah, I think Hank's trying to play it safe right now, so he doesn't lose what relationship he has left with Buffy. I'm sure he's gonna have his issues with their relationship down the road, but he won't really be able to do anything about it. Ashley

Ah you can only see the warning here, not when it is already open. Saw the warning now. And because Joyce is missing I have the feeling it's about her.
Angel killed Joyce? That's even worse *sigh*
Not a good turn of events for Buffy.
Buffy isn't an adult in the eyes of the law. I hope Hank won't do something regarding Buffy what she doesn't want. Or she just has to become an adult in the eyes of the law (I'm not sure how it's called). (Remember Roswell, the TV Series?)
I don't think that marry Spike would make a difference. But maybe Hank won't act without considering Buffy's wishes.

Author's Response: Thanks Cordy! Nope, Buffy isn't an adult yet, so it's up to Hank really, no matter what Buffy says.

Wow, this story seems to be all about Buffy. Spike just seems to only be there to support Buffy. Buffy parents getting a divorce, buffy having a new sister, buffy getting pregnant, buffy's mom getting killed. I'm not putting down the story. But to me it does seem like Spike is only there to support her and not really have his own story line other than being there for Buffy. Again, not putting down your story. I am still loving it. On the plus, at least Spike is written to be such a sweet and supporting boyfriend. One of the things that I love most about Spike on the show is that he will do anything for his women.

Author's Response: Hey thanks for the review! Yeah, thinking back, I totally see how you could see it as all about Buffy, but I think that Spike plays a huge role in his support for her and in the fact that this is all effecting his life too. He'll have his own stuff to deal with soon...:)

wow, you're really not giving buffy a break at all in this, are you? i didn't realize there would be so much angst when i started reading it, so i'm not sure how i feel, but i seriously hope angel dies a painful death. i fucking hate morons who drink and drive, and only get away with a few injuries, it's not fair. now i'm worried that buffy won't have a choice but to go live with her dad, there's still the baby to think about, though.

Author's Response: Sorry about the angst factor. I really didn't intend for the story to be this dark. It really started out in my head to be more of a Juno-esque story, and then look what happened. LOL

OMG this was so sad.*cries* Poor Buffy, poor Joyce and damn that idiot Angel. Please, please let him get what he deserves. Good that Buffy let Hank comfort her, cause she's gonna need his help. And of course Spike was perfect, *sigh* I'm worried about whats gonna happen now.

Sad chappie, but you captured all the emotions really well...good job. :) More soon please.

Author's Response: Thank you, Ami! Angel will totally get what he deserves...don't you worry!

"I just wanna punch him in the face over and over again and record the whole thing so I can put it on repeat." What a great idea!!

Nice the way Buffy lied to her mother.. Blue Lagoon..
Good to have some laughs too .

Poor Spike and how his father is just abandoning him in his time of need. I am also worried a little for Spike when it comes to Angel. I am scared that Angel is going to hurt Spike. Spike is such a sweet guy and trying to protect Dru and be support Buffy with everything. I love my Spikey. LOL Although, I am worried for him.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, Angel's pretty nuts in this story. I don't normally enjoy writing Angel, but it's much easier to do when I can make him into a complete and utter bastard. LOL

angel is really pissing me off, what the hell is that jerk's problem? why can't he just leave them alone? a part of me was hoping the prick would have gotten into a car accident and died, and i can't say i feel all that bad for drusilla. she's a moron for choosing to be with him in the first place, so she deserves everything she gets. i just wish spike didn't care about what happened to her, that could cause problems for him and buffy later on. i can't remember, but i'm assuming giles is spike's dad, if that's the case, i'm a little disappointed in him. he's usually a decent father in fictions, so it's weird seeing him like this, i hope he would come to his senses soon.

Author's Response: Thanks for your feedback! Spike's dad is unnamed in this story. No, it's not Giles, because Spike's name is Pratt. And of course Giles is Rupert Giles. :) Lots more coming soon!

Uh-oh... Angel's getting more and more aggressive. I have a really bad feeling... he's gonna do something terrible, isn't he? Eek :D

Great chapter, looking forward to the next :)

Author's Response: Thanks Xaph! Yeah, Angel's aggression isn't going to help him any when he gets into a lot of trouble.

Poor Spike...his dad was really harsh , not supporting his son. Feel so bad for him.:( And Angel just gets worse and worse. Now I'm worried about Joyce, cause he's out there driving drunk. Love Buffy acting like her and Spike weren't having sex. lol

Can't wait for the next chappie!

Author's Response: Yeah, Spike's dad was quite harsh! Writing the next couple of chapters is really hard for me to do. I'm starting to doubt them, but I'm going with my gut...so just trust me!

When I've read Spike got another run in with Angel I wondered what would happen. Driving drunk ... I really hope the cops will catch him. And that his father won't get him out easily.
Spike? Sorry to see his father react this way. He could have been a better father, caring more...
Spike will, I'm sure of it.

Author's Response: Thanks Cordy! All I can say is that his father's not gonna be much help in the next few chapters. As for Spike's dad, well, he's probably not gonna have a part in this story. He's just gonna be in the background, a bastard of a character we can all hate. LOL

Oh man can someone throw Angel off a cliff or something? What a jerk!! But Spike has to control himself or he's gonna get in trouble. And Hank is an idiot. He's manipulating a five year old, who was told she was going to meet her sister.
Why does it feel like things are gonna get bad now?

Loving it , more soon please! :)

Author's Response: Thanks Ami! Yeah, Angel needs to go over a cliff, but he's gonna be getting some comeuppance very soon. Unfortunately, it's going to take something drastic happening in order for that to happen. Hank kinda sounds like a bastard, but he really does love his daughters...both of them. He's just not handling this whole thing very well...but he's going to have to step up and be father of the year VERY soon...because Buffy's gonna need him!

:) I'm glad Spike wasn't hurt too bad from the fight, and that he burned Dru *real* good. I don't think he should be so sure she'll give in so easily - crazy Dru always means trouble lol

Once again, Buffy and Spike's banter was funny, sweet and so well done.

*Mmmwah!*

Author's Response: ;) Thanks PaganBaby! Expect more fights in the future! LOL...Lots more soon! Ashley

Hank is an idiot.
Spike will get himself in trouble, isn't he? Stupid temper of his.

Trouble is coming.. I can just feel it..
So, hurry up, I want more.

Author's Response: ;) Thank you, Kristy! You're definitely not wrong about trouble, though the trouble you're thinking of might be slightly different, and it pretty much starts right off the bat in the next chapter. I don't want to give anything away, but I'll update at least 1 chapter tomorrow, so you'll find out soon enough!
