2. Chapter Two by jennybean [Reviews - 7] (1538 words)
For those of you wondering how close this is going to be the book, I read it about 15 years ago so I don't really remember specifics. The general premise will be the same and a few scenes do stick out in my mind, but the story has been changed to fit better into the Buffyverse. Hopefully, it will still be good :)

I was amazed by all the reviews - thank you so much!!

16. Chapter Sixteen by jennybean [Reviews - 16] (3974 words)

Thanks for understanding about RL. Also, just to quell some fears, I'm in no way abandoning this fic - it was in my head for over a year before I got the courage to actually post it, so I am finishing it. Just maybe at a slower pace :) Thanks for the reviews and to Jess, my beta.

28. Chapter Twenty-Eight by jennybean [Reviews - 19] (2292 words)
Warning for this chapter - there is some extreme child abuse in this part of the story. I in no way condone this type of behavior in real life, but it is important for the story. And by now, I think you all know Dru is crazy!

41. Chapter Forty - One by jennybean [Reviews - 14] (2388 words)
Hi all. I'm going away on vacation tomorrow for a week for some much needed relaxation on the beach. Extra thanks to Jess, my wonderful beta, for getting this chapter back to me so I could post before I go. I hope to do a lot of writing while I'm soaking in the sun so hopefully I'll have plenty of chapters for you when I get back. The song in this chapter is Crash Into Me by The Dave Matthews Band. I heard it the other day on the radio and forgot how much I liked it, so I thought I'd throw it in the chapter. I don't own it, just like to listen to it. Thanks for reading and please review!!

42. Chapter Forty-Two by jennybean [Reviews - 13] (2135 words)
I'm sorry I'm so late in updating. I ended up being very lazy on vacation and doing nothing but sit at the beach soaking up the sun. When I returned, I got very bad news at work so I've been looking for a new job. On the bright side, this story has been nominated for a couple of different categories over at The Love's Last Glimpse Awards. Yay! Thanks to whoever nominated it - I appreciate it so much! This chapter is un-betaed so please forgive any glaring mistakes, but I wanted to get it out to you all. Please review to let me know if you're all still interested! Thanks again!

43. Chapter Forty-Three by jennybean [Reviews - 19] (2567 words)
Help! I need a new beta. The wonderful Jess has resigned due to real life busyness, but I wanted to thank her for all the help she has given me so far. Thanks Jess! If anyone is interested, please contact me through the contact button on the author profile page. I'm posting this chapter un-betad again so please excuse any mistakes. Thanks so much for the reveiws of the last chapter though I fear I've lost some of you with my absence. If you're still reading, let me know!

44. Chapter Fourty-Four by jennybean [Reviews - 20] (2330 words)

45. Chapter Forty-Five by jennybean [Reviews - 19] (3488 words)
OMG!!! I'm actually posting a new chapter. I'm so sorry for the delay. The good news is I found a new job, so hopefully I will be back to posting more often *crosses fingers.* This chapter is for Jess who gave me the idea of them being stuck in the closet months ago and Samantha who's been dying for some oral action on Will's part. Thanks to Meg and Andrea for checking it over. Hope you enjoy - it's a little longer than usual since I made you all wait so long.. Please review!.

47. Chapter Forty-Seven by jennybean [Reviews - 22] (3565 words)
See, I'm getting a bit better. I only made you wait two weeks for this update rather than a month. Again, I apologize for the wait and hope to be back to regular weekly updates soon. Thanks so much to my betas, Andrea and especially Megan, who helped to make this chapter so much better. Thanks also to those who reviewed - you make my day!

49. Chapter Forty-Nine by jennybean [Reviews - 19] (3149 words)
Yikes, I got less than 600 hits for the last chapter. I hope you all aren't losing interest. This chapter is dedicated to Samantha who asked for a shower scene - I'm sure you all figured that was coming. Thanks to my betas, Megan and Andrea. Please review!

50. Chapter Fifty by jennybean [Reviews - 16] (3439 words)
Sorry about the delay in updating. I swear I'm trying to get back to once a week, at least. This damn work thing - seriously getting in the way of more important activities. I keep playing the lottery in hopes of becoming independently wealthy, but no luck yet :) Enjoy and review!

51. Chapter Firty-One by jennybean [Reviews - 27] (5202 words)

55. Chapter Fifty-Five by jennybean [Reviews - 34] (2719 words)
Hi all! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this out. I went away for a while over the holidays and then work has been crazy this month, leaving me with little time to write. Although I can't promise you when the next chapter will come out, I can promise you that I'm not abandoning the fic. It may take me a while, but I'm definitely finishing it. I haven't put in the time to write 55 chapters to stop now.

This isn't beta'd so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Please review so I know you are still around! Thanks so much for your patience.

56. Chapter Fifty Six by jennybean [Reviews - 29] (4382 words)
I apologize profusely for the wait. I've been wresting with some writer's block. This isn't beta'd but I figured I've made you all wait long enough. Please forgive any mistakes. I'd love a review so I know you're all still with me!

57. Chapter Fifty-Seven by jennybean [Reviews - 15] (1826 words)
Yes, I'm still alive! I'm soooooo sorry for the extremely long wait. This chapter was originally longer, but I've decided to divide it into two. That means my next chapter is pretty much written so I hope to have it posted next Saturday. I am not abandoning the story. I've written too much to stop now! Thank you for your patience and please forgive any mistakes as this was not beta'd. Please review so I know you are still interested!

58. Chapter 58 by jennybean [Reviews - 38] (2593 words)
Well, it wasn't a week but at least it was quicker than me getting the last chapter up. I received a review that I'm dragging this story out too long. I apologize for that, but unfortunately real life has gotten in the way of me being able to write regularly. I'm hoping this will change because I really do want to finish this story. I hope the majority of people reading this are still interested. After this chapter, there really aren't that many left (maybe 5) so I hope you will stick with me until the end. I do plan on doing a sequel, but I want to get quite a few chapters done before I post so I won't run into the problem of such a long time between posts. Anyway, enjoy the chapter and let me know what you think. Thanks for still reading!
