Zowies! Hallie has the lusties for Spike and is practically eye-raping him under Buffy's nose. Spike is not only love's bitch but also fate's bitch to cross paths with the woman who practically put him in the path of Drusilla. Loved the description of how cozy yet hectic life in the mansion is and especially love reading of Annie playing with Miss Kitty Fantastico. Can't remember how Buffy and Spike were earning money....spoils from the treasure Spike found? (Gem of Amarra) Cause maintenance and upkeep for the mansion must be expensive! Does Spike maintain the grounds or is a gardener used? I know they have a garden but do they have a playground for the kids? Poor Spike without the Gem of Amarra, he cannot push Annie on a swing during the day. Surely magic can create another way for him to be a day walker. If Hallie acts on her lustful thoughts on Spike, hope that the witches turn her into a rat, like what happened to Amy. Look forward to more!

Author's Response: Hi Vette! LOL! Turn her into a rat! Oh, wouldn't that be justice!!?? I love that! Would they then have to keep her in a cage and get her an excercise ball ??- -OH I KNOW! Get her one of those plastic balls that she can run across the floor in and let Miss Kitty chase her! LOL!

Their money came from a long time ago - they got it from Angel who got it from the inheritance when Spike's (William's) and Dru's families "died" - it had been in the bank earning interest for the last 100+ years - so, I'm gonna say there's a good bit there. Also, Angel gave Buffy the mansion free and clear (presumably out of his money). That was way back in the beginning in the chapter when Spike proposed to her and they had the baby shower. (I think it was called "Secrets"). Ya know, I don't know who does the outside maintence . . . . I'm gonna say they probably have a lawn service for that. Maybe Willow and Tara have a small Wicca garden with herbs and stuff growing. It's funny 'cause just today I was thinking that, ya' know with all this outgoing money over the last 6 years or so, they're gonna start depleting their savings - it might be time to start thinking about getting some income. I don't think it will be from working at the DoubleMeat Palace, however!

I actually am gonna get into some outside play with the kids in the not too distance future . . . at least with Annie. You musta been looking over my muse's shoulder as he was making notes for me! No fair!

Thanks for reading and posting here -- - I TOTALLY LOVE the rat idea . . . I hope you don't mind if I steal it from you! That would be soooo ironic, I think.

Oh poor tired Spuffy parents, LOL I loved that everyone is afraid of cranky! Mama Buffy and Spike watching Passions is too cute. It's nice to see Xanya happy and living happily in Buffy's old house.

I liked everything about this chappie except skanky Cecily/Hallie drooling over Spike and thinking of making a move(not that I blame her, I just didn't like it lol) That could cause alot of problems, especially since Buffy is NOT feeling too sexy and seems to have body issues. :( I trust our vamp tho, and if Buffy finds out I hope she throws her out on her ass.And Spike should tell Buffy about Hallie.

Love's Bitch-Ask Me How! LOL Loved that!

Great chappie, hope this inspires your muse to get off his adorable rump! And must you keep making me drool with the sexy Spike pix? :) OMG !!

Author's Response: Hi AMI!! Well, Since England doesn't play again in the WC until tomorrow, I think my blue-eyed muse will have some time tonight to read reviews and help me write some more! He loves reading your reviews!! ;-) He told me to put that nekkid Spike picture up there just for you . . . he loves to make you drool!! ;-)

Glad you enjoyed the chapter! That darn Hallie - she's really perving on our vamp! I'm afraid she's gonna make trouble - I hope Spike and Buffy both put her in her place . . . which would be beneath Spike . .. but of course, not LITERALLY! LOL!

Glad you liked Spike's Love's Bitch t-shirt! LOL!

thanks for reading and stopping in here - it really does keep my handsome muse up off the couch and inspired! And, he loves to see you drool, too! ;-) More coming soon!

"he wondered silently if he should just get some t-shirts made: “Love’s Bitch — Ask me how!”" -- Love that. Wonder how long Hallie will last. Don't find it to be wise to get on the slayer's bad side, even when you are an ex-vengence demon. :) Update soon!


Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Glad I got a laugh outta you! ;-)

Hallie will probably last long enough to cause a bit of trouble, would be my guess . . . LOL! No, she definately does NOT want to get on Buffy's bad side - Buffy catching her making a move on Spike is gonna be BAD.

Thanks so much for reading and stopping in here! I always love hearing from you! Will update soon!
