Chapter 27
This is one of my favorite chapters! Amazing work!
Great to have this new chapter - I am enjoying your story very much. Like having Willow going back to live with them and being a potential part as an extended family.
Good cliffhanger - hope you can bring us a new chapter soon -
Love the names you created -

Chapter 26
I know I've already finished this story on fanfiction, but I'm still reading it here because it's so great! I love that line that Bex can't call him Spike until he's old enough to pay rent. I LOVE the way you write, it's so wonderful!

Chapter 26
I'm really enjoying all the plot twists that keep on appearing. Looking forward to the next chapter as usual. =)
So glad that you gave Spike his enhanced strength again - I always found the idea of The Slayer and the imposed life that comes with her duty having a normal human as consort unrealistic. I think that The Slayer on some deep level would always be worried which could have dire consequences for her in battles. And While the series clearly showed that human did help in the fights - Spike as her consort and now father brings things into a different level. So, I am very pleased that he is more an equal with her now.

Yes..! Willow give Spike a boost ala Lindsey MacDonald (or something along those lines, yes?). Hope it works out form him.
(of course "magic & it's consequences." Hmm... what might they be this time..?)
I am liking this story; All the voices (Spike, Buffy & yes {scowls at mentioning him} Angel) are dead on.
Eagerly awaiting more.

Great Updates - wonderful section with Spike and Willow and his fears about being able to protect his new family. I personally think that Spike would be miserable as a "normal" human male, so I hope that you help him with that problem. I think that, like Buffy's loss of her Slayer strength, he too would eventually feel that he had lost a huge part of life.
Excellent way that you are bringing in the problems that Riley felt about being a "normal" human male and having Spike feel share some of those same issues. I think that Buffy is not being realistic to think that his losing his strength and connecting back to what William was like will not be something very hard for him to deal with and accept - It is a very human thing for a man to want to protect and provide for his family.
Wonderful Story -

Valid question. I understand the sentiment having a single baby by myself.... I look out the window some days just going "what if...? What about....? How will I....?" Luckily no prophecy. LOL
I like it. Nothing feels forced, like you're trying pus the pieces. Very naturally written.
Beware of long paragraphs... this last one, even on a large font, was hard to keep straight while reading.
More Please, :-) Hermione2be

Excellent Chapter - I am enjoying your story so very much - I was just in the right frame of mind for a Spuffy Baby Tale - Hope that you will be able to have new chapters fairly often - I am so eager to see where you take them and the other characters too.

AMAZING!!!
I hope this is not the final chapter, even though it is certainly perfect right now! My heart swelled at Buffy's words, and my eyes teared at Spike's. You are truly the most amazing writer I've come across!

Wow! I really appreciate that! There are actually 31 chapters to this story! Hope you won't be disappointed!
This is absolutely terrific - read from the start all over again - PLEASE bring us another update soon - I love your treatment of how the amulet is working -
oh. wowzers! unexpected turn! well, yes because of the site's rules, but also the storyline. great plot twist! how did THAT happen? (don't think that was in willow's spell book, eh? =D) it'll be easier to raise a kid, but maybe harder to help out a slayer! can't wait to see what you have waiting for us next.

P.S.- I got totally freaked when he felt like he was burning like before, I hope the energy won't take back the children it gave, although, in Buffy's dream/vision, she only has one child, but it's twins.....

Please don't leave us with such a FANTASTIC cliffhanger!!! I hope you update soon! I have tears in my eyes, gah!
Your internal monologue of Spike is written beautifully. And I love that line: you may have known the girl she was, but I know the woman she is now. AMAZING!!!

I was so excited to see an update! A real pleasure, as always! Update soon, and happy holidays!
“I wanted to be the last man you ever kissed.” that was really sweet and sad.
Great Story - hope that you will be able to do an update soon. It's an interesting way to explore the balance that was changed with the scythe spell. Like your treatment of Spike and Buffy and how you had him going directly to find her when he became corporeal again. Makes a nice change to his story and a change from what happened in AtS 5.
Okay, I'm feeling a little sorry for Angel, but don't try to make me like Kennedy because So Cannot Happen.

Excellent arguing. I like the way SP and B are having to work things out.
Love Fred in your story - I started reading last night and have enjoyed it very much. It has been a while since I started reading a Spuffy Children fiction. I was in the perfect mood to read one and was happy to find yours.
Good reminder. She does love him.
I've got a feeling that the prophecy has more than loopholes...I'd bet it is either false or misread/interpreted. Angel should know that possibility but of course he would dismiss it entirely. He'd love that child, that reminder of Spike to be gone.
Angel also was one to just accept any prophecy without a fight...remember the one about the Master killing Buffy? He just went home to await word of her death! He COULD have tried to kill the Master himself but Noooooooo, it was a prophecy after all....twit!
Great update.

Oh no, Angel is going to buttinski.
NO! Don't kill Spuffy's baby!!! Find another way! Find another way!
Spike will do it. I have faith in him!
He better! I'm selfish and want Spike and Buffy to have that baby together.........
great chappie. love the story so far.

Great Spuffy fight. Spike needed that smack. :)

That was wonderfully sad and sweet. You know you're in trouble when you find yourself saying "I can explain."

Excellent Harmony and Spike argument. The whole bit about the Harmony slip up was too too funny as well as which one of them would Angel believe. Neither, I'm thinking.

:) Thank you! Yep...the reunion is on its way....:)
Boy is she being a dolt! Even without that soul he would never revert....the man CHANGED. Sigh...
Glad to know Angel is not being a jerk but is being honest. Doesn't look like he's going to stand in their way and that is a plus.
Xander was funny and not annoying in the least....very in character too.
Lovely update.

Very good story, so far. Really enjoying it.
I sense one of two things happening: Either Buffy will die but be brought back by CPR, or Spike's gonna vamp her.
Thanks! You'll find out soon enough! :)
I hope you have some mystical trick up your sleeve so Spike can find Buffy toot sweet. Giles is such a jerk, perfect portrayal.

Why the hell is Buffy Fighting? Hello Baby! Can't see it as I have had 4 children myself and I can tell you hand to hand combat not high on list of good for baby.I mean if you must you must but she's not the only one anymore.
LOL, she's definitely not in any condition to be fighting, you're right! She's the only slayer that she knows of that's around at this point, so it's a must situation. But yeah, definitely not good for baby, but don't worry! :)

Where is the story? All there is are the words "Chaper 1" on the left followed by blank space, the the same words on the right on a white box and the word "GO", followed by more blank space, then (once again in white on the right side) "Chapter 1" and then "GO". There is no story, and this same thing happens on all 20 of the so-called chapters. Have you posted this elsewhere??

Congratulations, you've been rec'd! Your story "Drawn to the Fire" has been chosen for the weekly recommendations and poll at The Readers Have Chosen (http://thereadershavechosen.eternflame.com/forum/ index.php?topic= 412.0).
Whoa! That's cool...I've never been rec'd before on a Buffy fic! :)
fine beginning to your tale. disagrre with giles. in xander's case it is not grief that is causing the irrational thought process. thanks for the very good read.
Really liked the scene with Xander and the way he wants to blame someone, anyone for Anya's death.

Very promising and wonderful beginning. In most post-Chosen stories, Buffy's grief for Spike after his death is basically just a distant fact that is shared with the audience before the story line begins. With your story, you've walked us step-by-step through the grief and made it real. Even Xander's grief or Anya and Willow's for Tara were well done and brought into the story nicely.
Thanks! I'm new to BtVS fan fic, so I haven't had the chance to read much yet, but I knew that if I was going to write a fic, it'd definitely be post-Chosen, and I wanted to get down and dirty with the emotions. I wanted the story to be emotionally centered, and I think it remains that way from start to finish, but I'll let the readers be the judge of that. :)
