Sniff sniff......(tissue) sniff sniff.......

I'm really sorry I didn't see this update. I read so much, lately I only read the ones I added to favorites fics. And this one was there, too. But lately this part of the site is fucked up - I add a story and annother one is deleted from this list. Sorry. Now on to the story: Personally? I think Buffy made the wrong decision. And I hope Buffy and Spike will stay together - and that this decesion won't break them up. Or that they'll break up and Buffy won't regret getting rid of that baby. And that she'll be able to get babies in the future - or she'll regret it to no end.

Author's Response: I love your feedback Cordy. One would hope if Buffy could get through with the abortion then some distance from Spike should be a piece of cake. Not that I'm saying she's totally over the abortion thing as you will see in the future chapters. I've been debating on a happy ending for these two. As the story writes itself, I find that I have tow tweek a few things. The muse wants what it wants. Thanks for your review

College insurance usually covers part of the costs....at least my college does. Thank you *so* much for not being afraid to post this. Your tackling of tough issues is inspiring. I wonder what's next for these two. =)

Oh my goah... im crying. In most fic whne buffy is pregnate they alwasy talk about abortion but this is the fisrt one i've seen where she goes through with it. I like that u didn't shy away from it. I kon alot of people who are so pro-life that whne they even hear the word abortion they get all up set. I'm really glad that u had spike there the whole time... if he wasn't i most likly would of cried harder. im really loving this fic plz update soon

Author's Response: This chapter was sad. I almost didn't write it this way. I was going to bypass the detailed experience but when I sat down to write it I found it to be impossible so I went for it. I just knew I was going to get flamed but so far I haven't. I'm glad you are enjoying the story and thank you for the review.

this was such a sad subjetc matter but you handled it really well in my opinion. poor Buffy. And Spike. When he went in to the room and just sat and cried? so sad.

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you...I was worried about this chapter because some parts were graphic. I thought it would turn a lot of people off but so far I've gotten some good responses. I agree this chapter was sad. It bothered me in some spots so I would just walk away from it and come back. I think it turned out well. Thanks for the review

Icky chapter . . . . I mean, I'm pretty much pro choice (for the most part) but as a personal choice I don't think I could ever go through with an abortion, and I'm really squeamish when it comes to reading about it too (or any medical procedure for that matter - it's why I could never be a doctor, lol) . . . . anyway, I still like the story though (as I like all the stories I've read of yours so far). Please update again soon!

Author's Response: I get that. This isn't a decision one should take lightly. I can only imagine what it would do to a person's psyche. Can't be good. I gald you still like the story despite the icky factor and thanks for the review

Wow...kinda feel like I've been on an emotional rollercoaster in this chapter. Sad, but, unfortunately, a fact of life. Look forward to seeing how they get through this traumatic experience together.

Author's Response: I stopped and started writing this part so many times. At first I wasn't going to actually write about it so descriptively but I found I just couldn't so I went for it. So far no flames so I think I made the right decision. Thanks for the review
