Of course Spike would be disappointed about not having to make an escape from the hospital! I really thought for a moment during the shower scene that sane Buffy was back (having Spike wash and take me in the shower would certainly cure all of my ailments!) but of course she’s so broken and heartsick over Dawn it’s going to take a lot more time for recovery. The Bot is wonderful for providing some comic relief in the midst of all the angst. I can see her becoming a sentient being before this fic is finished. Thanks for another great chapter!

Author's Response: Hey Melly!!! Oh yeah, Spike would cure the hell outta me in that scene! heehee! YUM! And, yes, Spike would've definitely been disappointed about not being able to break Buffy out. He had a good plan, too! (God, I loved that line - 'just got bored'). I'm glad you like the Bot!! She has been an awesome counterpoint to the Buffy angst. I'm really glad my muse brought her along. Thanks for reading and stopping in! You know I always love hearing from U!

Gotta admit, I'm not a big angst lover. But I've really gotten to this one. I love the way you describe Buffy's depression/guilt. And the baby twist..marlveous! Looking forward to the next chapters.

Author's Response: Oh, I hope you can hang in here through the angst. My muse loves to make me cry, and I admit to liking the torture. Glad you like the little twist with the baby and how Buffy is being drowned in her guilt. Spike, of course, won't give up on her - ever - so take heart. Thanks so much for giving this a shot, even though you aren't an angst fan. Look forward to hearing how you like it as it goes along.

Oh poor Buffy...I felt so sorry for her waking up in the psych ward. Glad she got out fast, but would have loved to see Spike's "plan" lol.

Very sexy shower scene , but I wasn't surprised it ended that way. Buffy's guilt won't let her enjoy anything or be happy. Like you say it'll be a long process. I felt bad when she locked
spike in the bathroom , but loved how he was listening to make sure she was ok, and didn't bust open the door so as not to scare her. Good to see Buffy is remembering some of what Joyce told her too. Let's see what or when she'll tell Spike.
Loved how he coaxed her out with the coffee, and that last pic of Spike was awesome. I've never seen that before, did u do it yourself?

I've been trying to catch up with the Unexpected stories cause I'm so far behind. It's tough, and I'm skimming some because it's too much angst in one go, but I have the basic idea of what's going on. I just really have no time to review all of them. :( I'll be starting "Scream" soon and will review that, promise. :)

I wondered about Buffy not being cleaned up too. When my dad was in the hospital a while back( he was there for 1 1/2 months) the nurses cleaned him up especially in ICU. But then there was always someone with him to make sure everything was OK and being done. Your poor friend. :(

Loved it and am looking forward to more this wkend. *hugs*

Author's Response: Hey AMI!! Yes, I'm sure that Spike's plan would've been PERFECT. No problems at all getting her out of there. :P Poor Spike and his plans that go array.

Yeah, with my evil muse, there was no way that shower scene could end any other way, but I loved the massage ... can I have one now?

Telling Spike about the mission is gonna be a point of inner debate for Buffy, which we will have glimpses into so we know her Buffy-logic (which is sometimes not really clear to sane people).

The last picture of Spike, is a screencap from Dead Things when Buffy knocked him down by accident, thinking she was fighting those demons that the Trio sent after her. I just sort of mucked up the grass and stuff in the background so it didn't look quite so much like he as laying on the ground. Is that the one you were talking about? I like the one where he was sitting against the wall - that was a JM photo shoot from the Buffy-era.

Oh, Yay that you've been trying to catch up on Unexpected! Yeah, some of that time-frame you've been reading was very angsty. Scream wasn't too bad - just a couple of chapters in the middle and the angst wasn't so much Spike and Buffy as other people. Would love to have you back there!

I was less than happy with the hospital my friend was in. If I hadn't done some things for him, they wouldn't have gotten done - but there was no bathing or cleaning up at all. When they sent their survey after he got out, I told them I wouldn't take my dog to that hospital - in the future, we'll just drive further. I'm sure the nurses would be happy if we didn't come back, I made my displeasure fairly clear to them.

Glad you liked the chapter. Thanks so much for reading! I always look forward to your insightful reviews. {hugs}

It's going to take more than one hot shower and associated lovin' to break through Buffy's wall of guilt. At least when she's thinking half way rationally she remembers her new 'mission' to help Dawn. Perhaps she ought to explain that to Spike...

Author's Response: Oooo, A4S - have you been talking to my muse? Maybe Buffy *should* tell Spike about the mission ... gee, that might even be logical, but ... hmmmm. Will she? Buffy-logic can sometimes go array. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Always love hearing from you, even if you are, at times, TOO insightful! :)
