Good job on Bess thoughts and reactions, her world has changed a lot. Giles was wonderful too, for an older man like him, comment a 14 year old girls looks would be awkward. It seems like Bess already has her soul. Perhaps a Slayer thing? but then they will feel bad for the killed turned Slayers.



Author's Response: Hi Magnus! Turns out the Council gave her her soul back - to some degree lucky she didn't have it all along, but not good that she had it at all under those circumstances. What scars did that leave on her that will influence her behavior later? We'll find out. Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in! -p4s 2011.11.16

Finally got caught up. Loved Faith's revelation, loved Bess being a little kid for a change and discovering the world. Glad the stupid council got what it deserved mostly because of their own stupidity. I just gotta wonder why Bess's soul isn't cooperating. I've got a hunch. Hope they can figure it out. I'd say update soon, but you seem to have me well beat on that. But, Update soon. :)

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Glad you're enjoying the story and have been able to get caught up. We'll figure out her soul and see how she does when left on her own and how things go back in SunnyD over the next chapters. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! -p4s 2011.11.16

So...let me guess, Bess has always had her soul?

Author's Response: Hi Sibb - almost ... not always but long enough to have it tainted by what she's been through. We'll see how things work out over the next chapters . Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! -p4s 2011.11.16

What a wonderful chapter. So great to see the connection that Bess and Buffy have, the way Buffy stepped up being the mum we know and love. I`m really looking forward to see their relationship develop and how the Summers family will welcome Bess, and the extended family as well. I feel so sorry for her.

Keep up the excellent storywriting, it`s like I`m watching the story instead of reading.

Author's Response: Hi Catrine! We will explore Bess and see how she does and how the others handle having another sister over the coming chapters. Glad you're enjoying the story!! Will have more soon! -p4s 2011.11.16

I was wondering why Spike could not get the gem from Bess so that he could heal. Now I know. It was nice to see the playful side of Buffy.
Look forward to reading more.t

Author's Response: Hi Bridget! Glad you're enjoying the story - will have more soon! Tehre are going to be some challenges for Bess to overcome which we'll deal with over the next chapters. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! -p4s 2011.11.16

Just catching up with the updates. First, let me say there is no need to thank me for the rec. I really liked seeing Buffy's slayer side and hope to see more of her in the future. I think her life would be easier if she could come to better terms with her. Looking forward to the next update, soon I hope.

Author's Response: Hi MB! So glad you're enjoying the story ... tyring to update a couple of times a week, RL permittting. We will be seeing quite a bit more of Bess over the coming chapters ... Thanks again for reading and stopping in and the fic rec, it's all very much appreciated! -p4s 2011.11.16

Bess discovering the wonders of the modern world enjoying the simple pleasure of hot running water and a soft bed is a freedom denied to her for far too long. She really does need to go out in the sun and just be happy for a change. Any chance of making another gem for Spike to wear? I’m sure that Willow and Tara are up to the task of mojo’ing an invincible stone or just plucking the ring from the other dimension where Spike shanshued into a human being. That Spike doesn’t need it anymore and for all their suffering, one of the witches should be able to send Faith to procure the ring for Spike. The watchers council headquarters could be re-located to California and let Wes run the London branch. The demon in Buffy showing itself may be a result of the scythe and the unborn child also got a dose of the magic from the weapon. Hands Buffy a candy bar for her sweet-tooth craving, does she ever crave anything weird while pregnant? Enough to gross out Spike who eats wheat-a-bix and burba weed in his blood. Look forward to the see where you take the story next.

Author's Response: Hi Vette! Willow will work on finding out how to conjure another Gem. Since the two other dimensions that they are familiar with stemmed from the post NFA, or the post-Chosen 'evil Joss Universe' ... the Gem was destroyed by Angel long ago. I believe you know my muse well enough to know that he's not just gonna drop another Gem in their lap ... {{cue evil laugh track}} Poor Spike and Buffy ... {{cuddles them}}

Glad you enjoyed the update and Bess' reaction to simple pleasures. As far as relocating ... I do think someone will propose that very soon. Giles will be aghast! heehee! I'll have to check on some strange cravings for her that may even squick Spike ... great idea that I hadn't thought of! :) My muse just keeps going and going with this story, I really hope his prattling doesn't turn boring with no blood and guts to spice it up. Will have more soon! {hugs} -p4s 2011.11.08

Good work on Bess reaction to this new situation. The pictures used felt right, they showed their emotions in a good way.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! I'm glad you enjoyed Bess' reaction to the wonderous new world she's been thrust into. She's very much caught between being a child and a woman and that will prove to be a challenge for her and her parents. Add to that the insecurities her past has heaped on her and there is going to be a healthy struggle for her and her parents in the coming months. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Author's Response: Hi Melly! got another chapter up - The start of trying to introduce Bess into the world.

The worst badnes is over, good, but Bess will have a hard time when she gets her soul so I hope they wait until things are calm before giving her that.

Now they need to find out how many watchers that new about the dungeon. It was a big secret so it can't be that many who new about it. I'm guessing Giles and Wesley will be working with that and how to run the council now. The prophecy will also have to be investigated. I'm a bit surpriced there were'nt any live Slayers in the dungeon. They must have tried to breed living Slayers with vampires since they had several and knew about Buffy and Spike. Well they could have been killed before we saw them.

Some economical compensation will be needed for Buffy and Spike so one problem will be gone at least.

And finaly, the part with Clem and the children, just wonderful.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! Yes, the worst physical pain is over, now comes how to help Bess transition into the world.

I don't think many Watchers knew ... just the handful that were there. They'll be working on figuring out what to do with the Council now... and yes, Giles, etal will have to work on the prophecy. I'm not sure if Travers would've tried to breed live Slayers with vamps ... he had a thing about that - he never liked Buffy with Spike. I think perhaps he looked at turned Slayers differently - as demons, so in his twisted logic, it was ok to use them for whatever he wanted. Of course, he was insane, so ... you never know!

Buffy and Spike will be added to the payroll, so yay for that!

Glad you liked Clem and the kids. I really like Clem, he's a sweetie!

Hands Spike a hankie while wiping my own eyes. Bess will need her parents help in transitioning into un-life out of the dungeon with a soul. Bess should be placed in a "half way house" of sorts to adjust at her own pace to being out in the world again. The council owes this family financially to make up for their ordeal so that they can return home without worrying about finances. Whoever takes over the council should set them up with a salary, if they can pay wacko's like Travers and Weatherby, they can pay Buffy and Spike. Always wondered where their money came from, protection money from the nations around the globe? Anyhow, what the heck happened to Kralik? Is he dust? Love the domestic scene with the kids and Clem, their worrying over their parents is over and how they will react to Bess will be interesting. Look forward to more to see where you take the story next.

Author's Response: Hi Vette! I always wondered where their money came from, too ... that will be looked into and B/S will be set up with a salary! Yay!

You are the only one that caught my oversight of Kralik! When Weatherby shut him up, I forgot he was there! LOL! Actually, I remembered at one point, but then forgot to fix it before I posted. I fudged it into the beginning of the next chapter ... sorry about that 'senior moment'.

Bess is definately going to need help with the transition ... hopefully Buffy and Spike and the other Bits and Scoobies are up to the task - we'll find out. We will explore that as well as what to do with the Council and eventually we'll even have the birth of the newest little bit. One of your suggestions won for the name. :) Thanks so much for reading and your keen eye! You keep me honest! Love your insightful reviews! -p4s 2011.11.08

No no no!! Don't let Buffy get more hurt than she is!! RL has absorbed me lately and I was thrilled to see so many new chapters, which I think is good because the suspence was extreme just reading through the chapters. My god your story is just incredible. The way you bring the characters to life and the way you get me laughing one minute (loved the "mile high club" joke with Giles, highlarious) and biting my nails the next. I loved the way Spike protected Bess by letting her have the Gem and the way Buffy let Bess know how much he values her. I wished Travers would suffer a worser fate than what he got, but it was still great that Spike got to do the honour. I sincerely hope the Scooby gang demolish what is left of the Council (at least the rotten onea) and take what is left to build a safety net for the slayers. And also that Spike and Buffy take what they need to live a nice life. They've earned it many times over.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us. I just know you won't let our favorite couple loose their littl' bit;) ( I'm just thinking she will be the bride of Edmund Rosenberg McClay Giles...don't reall his exact surname ) keep up the incredible work you're doing.

Author's Response: Hi Catrine! No fair messing up my muse's evil cliff hangers by reading them all at once ... heehee! Glad the suspense wasn't lost reading them back to back! I thought of torturing Travers more, he deserved it, but although Spike would've been willing, I don't think he was physically capable and he wouldn't want to do it in front of Buffy, no matter how pissed she was at Travers, I don't think she would've handled that well.

Little Eddie and the newest bit ... ahhhh pre-arranged marriages aren't dead, after all! :-) Lucky all the 'cousins' in this story aren't actually related ... :O

Faith leading a small Slayer army to help, good. As always a wellwitten chapter. Good work on the trouble with getting information between people through a dream and a phone. The Anya part was funny and felt true to her character. It seems like someone will be wounded, just hope it will be Bess then, since she will survive. I also liked that the vampires got to die fighting.

Okay, this rescue is akin to the ambulance running over the victim as it comes to its rescue. What a battle the little army of slayers encountered. Loved how Faith took command and lead the way to extract her friends. Feel no sympathy for the guards, they more than likely abused Bess as their own personal toy. "They had it coming!" comes to mind. Hey! Hope that the scythe cannot harm a slayer, so if it does make contact with Buffy, that it heals her instead of harm her. Very dramatic chapter and yet another cliff hanger!

Travers is dead and the fight is on, good. I liked how you used some humor and the sweetnes between Buffy and Spike to make this chapter less dark. So Bess had the gem, but that means their captors where unbelievable stupid. The first thing to do should have been to stab the three vampires involved to see if any of them healed. Why didn't they do that with Bess?

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! Yes, it was unbelievably stupid of them to not stab her and see what happened ... instead the guards SEARCHED her for it ... and apparently didn't find it that way. You know, to be a guard working in a dungeon, you can't be the sharpest tool in the shed. Did the guards actually know what the gem did ... or just the Watchers/Travers? Were their orders to just 'find it' ... and not given any further information about what it was for/what it did? That sounds like something the council and Travers would do. We'll find out just exactly where it is and how Spike transferred it later... Thanks for reading and stopping in! If everyone did only the smart thing, then we wouldn't have much of a story ... :) {hugs} -p4s 2011.10.29
