Anya, Tara and Giles are on their side, nice. Xander could come around if he thinks about it. Willow is the real danger though, and Xander tends to follow her.

A very interesting take on a changeling, or exchange gift; definitely different so far, being so Spike, Dawn, & 2nd string Scoobies etc-centric rather than the usual for a Spuffy Baby-fic. Of course Xander would feel insecure about any other male doing or having any manly part of anything in Buffy's life. A child with her would make Xander sputter volumes of ignorant excuses & vile chatter, sticking him right in the heart of the matter, his ego, that a vamp made the child but moreso, not him. I was surprised at old Rupert. Good for him! Both for sticking around & for his acceptance.  I can see Willow doing her usual abuse of power and magick, pretty much begging for an excuse. The last bit of the previous chappie was pretty haunting. I liked the team-up of Tara and Anya. The bad thing tho', is that both of the ladies have hope they can get through to the good in their lovers, when there may be little or none to reach.

I can't wait to see where all you take this. This one has got my brain nubs engaged, & it's waaay too early in the a.m. for that. Please update more, soon? Thanks!!!
