Awwww .... That is so sweet of an ending for this chapter. I got scared when Glory was there. {shivers} I hope you feel inspired to write more of this one.
I was hit by the inspiration bug the other day and got very much done indeed! I'll post the completed chapter as soon as I can *hugs* thanks for your continual reviews- lovely! :]

Lol- it's a valid point Thank you for your regular reviews :]] very appreciated.

Lovely chapter! I really like what your doing with this story. Though I am curious about what her so called friends are doing.
I know; the Scoobies can be awful at times. Thank you for reviewing <3 your words are greatly appreciated
 
IrinaStuck in reverse06/11/2006 08:57 pm
Awww... I loved that sweet moment between Spike and Joyce when she hugged him and told him he'd make a great father. I'm really worried about Joyce's health, I can't help but wonder if she'll be well enough to travel. The ending of the chapter was lovely. Poor Buffy she has so plate on her plate right now, I can't wait to find out what happens to the Summer's family next. Fantastic update!
Thank you so much; I'm really enjoying writing this story, and your kind reviews are making it all worthwhile Please keep reading and reviewing!!

I loved this chapter. I really loved how Buffy finally realized that Spike was there for her and didn’t judge her, and that she admitted this to her mother. I thought it so cute her telling Spike that he was a hostage to the Summers women and that he was family. I loved the ending of this chapter when Buffy told Spike that he was perfect and what she wanted him to promise her. I am really worried about Glory thinking that the baby is her key and about Joyce’s health. I am really looking forward to the next update and what steps you take with these factors.
Thank you so so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed this chapter; it was a pleasure to write Buffy's changing views, and fantastic to think of ways of intergrating Spike into the Summer's family. Keep reading :]]
 
vladtWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 11:32 pm
very good update. glad you spared us the detailed reaction of the scoobies. her watcher and 'friends' have always been nauseatingly egocentric. joyce was a pleasure.buffy was buffy. thanks for the great read.
I simply couldn't be bothered with the long-winded Scooby bitchin' :/ They sucked. End of. He he. Thanks for another great review too
 
~*~Tasha~*~When you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 11:01 pm
Stupid Scoobies. Oh no about Joyce too. I hope you feel inspired to write more again soon. Going through withdrawl to know what comes next.
Don't worry, the next chapter will be up sooner than the last (I just got a little delayed by school work/exams/etc) Glad you enjoyed the chapter, and thankyou thankyou for reviewing again!! <3
 
LouWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 08:47 am
Can't believe she hasn't even given him half an apology - she's been way too harsh to him.
Don't worry, sense is going to hit her full in the face pretty soon thanks for the review
 
redwulf50When you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 06:50 am
it's official the scoobies suck
As much as ever. Thanks for the review :}:}
 
slaymesoftlyWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 06:40 am
Awww - about time she started getting the picture! I'm still enjoying your take on season V - more soon?
More very soon Thanks for reviewing xx
 
IrinaWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 06:37 am
I really liked the hospital scene between Spike and Buffy, to bad she had to put her foot in her mouth when they got to her house. Joyce really shined in this chapter, it's a shame she's ill. The scoobies sure were harsh, Buffy is really lucky to have a friend like Spike. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great update!
Yup, I'd love to have a friend just like Spike and a mom just like Joyce :] thank you for reviewing Irina, the next update will be up v.v.soon
 
RobynWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 02:28 am
What a horrible reaction from her 'friends' and to top it off with finding Joyce on the floor and her going to hospital. I like that she went to Spike, even though she has been completely horrible to him even though all he’s tried to do is help, hopefully she will realize that he is always there for her and unlike her friends he doesn’t judge her. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it.
I know just how annoying the 'denial Buffy' bit can be, but unfortunately it's just her natural reaction and every Spuffy writer has to find a way to work through it. Grr, I know. But still, uber-thanks for reviewing again, it's good to know you're enjoying the updates
 
kimWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 02:26 am
Poor Joyce!

Man, how do you not notice for 6 months? Better start eating really well, Buffy. Low birth weight is a danger to the baby.
Thank you for reviewing. And yup, trust Buffy to be so far in denial. Ah well, it's all out in the open now :}
 
UncagedMuseWhen you feel so tired but you can't sleep05/15/2006 02:04 am
So happy you updated and what a fantastic update!
Thank you!! Glad you liked it. Another chapter will be up asap, promise :]
 
~*~Tasha~*~When you get what you want but not what you need04/18/2006 10:58 pm
Hnmmm ... loved this chapter. I'm wondering who's baby this is. I'm sincerely hoping that it isn't Riley's, but who knows. Either way ... love this story.
Thanks so much Tasha for reviewing again! Hope you keep enjoying this story :]:]
 
vladtWhen you get what you want but not what you need04/18/2006 01:08 am
i am breaking a rule here. due to computer malfunction or acute alcohol poisoning (Iknow which way i would vote), i have left multiple reviews on one update. my rule is to skip reviewing the next chapter. can't do that. that was a very good read. please do not disappoint, it can't be riley's. it would be a strong arguement against all of darwin's work. fun read. thank you
Thank you vladt! Your reviews always leave me grinning [and normally filled with evil spuffy intentions] thanks again <3
 
MarzBarWhen you get what you want but not what you need04/17/2006 08:49 pm
Oh dear. Please, please come back soon and tell us the baby is not Captain Cardbored's. I admit that Buffy is behaving so badly to Spike that she probably deserves it but still - YUCK. More story soon please.
He he he, thank you for reviewing :]
 
CarolWhen you get what you want but not what you need04/17/2006 07:58 pm
I wasn't expecting a pregnancy. And in Season 5. I'll be interested in seeing how this is handled. I'm enjoying this.
Thank you Carol, I hope you keep reading and enjoying :]:]
 
RobynWhen you get what you want but not what you need04/17/2006 06:39 pm
What a fantastic twist. And Spike, he is far more then what Buffy deserves. How like Buffy to live in denial and strike out at the person trying to help. I am really looking forward to how Buffy will take the news when it is confirmed by a doctor. I only hope that Spike can survive it.
Thank you for reviewing again Robyn, the next chapter will be up VERY soon and all your ponderings will be answered...
 
redwulf50When you get what you want but not what you need04/17/2006 02:52 pm
gawd can we beat Buffy in the head with a club, AFTER the baby is born.... Wait a minute do we realy need anymore Finn's in this world??
Heh, play nice redwulf

Thank you for reviewing Irina <3

Pregnant Buffy? mmhmmm and why do I sense its NOT Riley's? mayhap the Buffy and Spike anticipated their wedding vows?

MORE!
Thanks for reviewing :] more is on it's way soon
 
LouWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/16/2006 03:58 am
You can never have too much Riley bashing for me. Methinks Buffy's mouth needs to connect with brain before action!
Oh definately, but does that girl ever learn? Te he, thank you ever so for reviewing :}
 
slaymesoftlyWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 08:40 pm
More, please and thank you.
Since you asked so politely he he

pfeifferpackWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 02:11 pm
Absolutely want more. Buffy didn't see Spike and his concern very well at this time (if ever really). Look forward to you having her blinders removed. Oh, and feel free to kill Riley *G*.

Kathleen
Riley killage is always of the good. Thank you for reviewing. Love and stuff <3
 
redwulf50When you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 12:08 pm
excellent so far I love it, can we beat Riley down just a teeny bit???
Heh hum, just a teeny bit then; I'll allow you the privilege redwulf <3 Thank you for reviewing again, it all means a lot to my muse
 
UncagedMuseWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 11:30 am
Really enjoying the beginning and waiting for more!
And more has come your way! Thank you so much for reviewing <3
 
MarzBarWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 10:19 am
Does Riley have an evil plan that Spike is going to show Buffy or is he just going to vamp whores? Any way Spike can find to get rid of Cardbored is a good thing. I can't believe he hit her and she didn't break some of his bones. More please.
REad on and see, I hope you won't be dissapointed :]:] Thank you so much for reviewing again. Big hugs <33
 
jl1980When you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 08:37 am

Oh yes, more please, this fic has potential...:-))
Thank you :]:]
 
RobynWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 07:03 am
Thank you for continuing your fic, this is so great. I love that Buffy stood up for herself against Riley, but the litany of insults he threw at her has an unfortunate amount of truth. Perhaps not toward him, but definitely towards Spike. You got her cruelty towards Spike down very well. I am really looking forward to the next chapter.
Thank you Robyn, your reviews always make me smile :] I thought Riley's insults were pretty accurate too, but the only man with any right to say them, never ever would *sighs*
 
~*~Tasha~*~When you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 06:12 am
I love this fic. I'm glad that you decided to continue it. Can we kick Buffy in the arse though? I swear ... that girl drives me crazy. You wrote them very true to form, but it still makes me want to strangle her. Riley hitting Buffy? Oh man, she should have flattened him. Great update.

A little side note: You might want to put in your disclaimer that the summary is made up of the exact lyrics to a Coldplay song. {smiles} I recognized it because I love their work, and it was the first rock concert I ever went to (unless you count the James Marsters concert in Michigan last year). I just wanted to send out that little tidbit that it might be a good idea to add the little part to your disclaimer.
Thank you so much Tasha <3 Fix You is an amazing song *now mentioned is disclaimer* and it's a big part of this fic, so thanks for the suggestion. By the way, wow on two accounts: Colplay concert, and James Marsters! *is jealous* You're like my official new hero! Te he
 
IrinaWhen you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 05:28 am
I really feel bad for Spike at the moment, Buffy sure was mean to him in this chapter. Can't wait to find out where things go from here. Great update!
Thank you Irina, don't worry, I'm sure things'll improve between our favourite pair
 
Typerbabe57When you try your best but you don't succeed04/15/2006 04:06 am
I'm enjoying this fic very much. Wow, Riley's really a jerk, and poor Spike is really getting "jerked" around. Love the angst, but looking forward to impending spuffiness.
He he, just wait, good spuffied stuff is on it's way...
 
~*~Tasha~*~Fix You03/28/2006 10:22 pm
I do hope you sequel to this one. This was good, and I'd love to see what comes next.
Watch this space...
 
BFix You03/21/2006 05:09 pm
Now i'm awful and i dont usually review fics. (I know, i know, i'm a terrible person.)

Reviewing this one though, purely because you put that little 'TBC...?' at the end. This is so well written, there's so few really good fic writers left writing in the verse(i haven't found many anyway) and so i had to review to say please continue this. I adore long fics and so would be forever in your debt if you turned this into one (and i'm not past bribing someone...)

Anyhow, ignoring that plea, i'm gonna just say wonderful fic, nice take on that ep that i haven't seen before.
You love long fics- I love long reviews! <3 You'll be happy to hear then that I've already started work on the second chapter and it should be up in no time. As well as this, I have several long fics in the works; a coupla challenge resonses as well as a few original ideas, and hopefully they'll be ready for posting shortly [watch this space]. Anyway, thank you for reviewing B- all kind words are appreciated, and all really really kind comments are treasured :]

Nice story and I think a sequel would be good!
Thank you. Will do :}
 
RobynFix You03/19/2006 04:15 pm
I would love a sequel to this. This is a great re-write of the episode, and you did a great job of keeping both of them completely in character. She still manages to be a bitch even when he is trying to help, and he still uses sarcasm to cover up his feelings. But in the end the comfort and help he gave her and her recognizing it would make the great start of a longer fic.
Yay- I think this is an idea I can run with. I hope you stick around and review following chapters
