So glad that you did the sequel - and I like how you end it with Angel and Cordelia being part of the annual reunion and with Willow absent.  Willow's absence gives a more realistic new phase for both herself and Tara.  I never would think of Tara and Giles as a romantic couple but you make it read as a realistic future for them. 

 

Awwww! So cute! just adorable...i kinda wanna cry...

Oh that was amazingly sweet;) I read both, obviously, but I didn't comment the first one. I'm absolutely thrilled with this story, it was so touching and made me warm and glowy inside. I feel bad about poor Willow, but woohoo to the Tara and Giles lol. Never thought I'd be one for the combo, but yay all the same;) Thanks for the warm fuzzies:)

Oh it is to bad that they lost Willow as a friend. I wonder where she is.

Great sequel. Awesome interactions between Spike & Xander and Spike & Angel. Fabulous characterizations. I am so happy that I found your writings. :)

Xander finally let go of his deep-seated demon prejudices… at least in regards to their little group. Mostly. -- ohhhhh i loved this line - it was fanastic.

great ending poor willow!

This whole story was just so sweet and I love that although Willow is no longer involved with their lives they still remember her.

This was a really really great story. I had already read Innocence when I found this so I went back and read that one again before embarking on this one. Both stories are very touching. I love the fact that they're all together as a family years later.

Too bad Willow couldn't face up to the consequences of her actions and move on with everyone else (good job letting Xander grow up 'figuratively speaking'). But I think that actually makes the story more realistic and less sappy. The happiness tinged with the momentary sadness of the loss of Willow.

And I really love the Giles/Tara match. I've never seen it before, but I think it could work.

Great job.

Omg! you cannot end it like this, it will drive me insane, such awesome stories and you leave a hanging ending like this?! Ah well I'm not complaining - much. This and Innocence Found were just beautiful I love them so so very much!! {I love the little kidlets -especially the bampires!}Thank you for writting this brilliant fic its realy made my day.

that was a really good story!!

Gonna try this again, hate FE's! Wonderful ending to a emotionally packed fic. Sorry that Red wasn't there but that's life. Good for Giles though, I think they make a nice couple. Thank you for this wonderful story, hate to have it end.

awww thats so adorable.. and is willow like no longer part of the group!? or is she dead or something..

aww...that's really kind of sad...i love the update on how they're all doing later on down the road, the closeness, the familial sweetness of it all...very excellent update...more please :)

*sniff*...awww...

Very sweet enigint o a relly nice story. Thanks!

So, Willow's just off and gone, eh?

And yeah, everybody did get sappy, but holidays do that.

great end to a great story.

Oh that was good, so Tara and Willow will stay friends

shhhhh how sweet - great story so far - eagerly anticpating the last chappie

I loved Angel's drawings and that he explained to Buffy and let Spike know that he realized that Buffy was no longer his. Xander's gift to Spike left tears in my eyes.

Scrumptious!

awww.. is it finished?! it was amazing!

Awww...a teddy bear with fangs, how...disturbingly cute...*sniff* I teared up a little...

so are we gonna get a smutty epilogue? :) is there more to this one? that was so very sweet!!! i loved this story through and through, and xander's care package at the end was just precious....loved it :)

Wow, that was a emotionally packed chapter. First, Spike realizing that he can never give Buffy the children that he wants her to have. Then Angel shows his sentimental side for Spike and his "mate". Now Xander offering the olive branch with his "Blood O Gram", which was so funny, and Spike and Buffy can start their new relationship with more acceptance from her friends. Wonderful story. Thanks for the great read.

yay! Xander could be thoughtful, who knew? I liked Angel and Xander's reaction. Waiting for Giles'. Hope Willow and Tara get bavk together.

 

Oh I wonder what is in with Xander, Willow and Angel.

AHHHHH poor spikey - he liked the kids - great chappie

They definitely learned that lots of junk food is not good for kids and what a way to learn it. :D

What a hoot.

Do they remember? How're they gonna react to Spike now?

LOL eww the vomit was icky! and lol i cant belive them it was funny!!

I adore the line " you're the only country not heard from". Now that they're all grown up again, can't wait to hear what they got to say, and if Xander starts calling Spike Mr. Poopy-Pire, I'am still giggleing over that one. So enjoying this fic.

You seem to have a gift where it comes to leaving a reader wanting more. This has to be my favorite story.

How rude! Not even a thank you for taking care of us. Stupid gits! (as Spike would say)

i just hope they can get past the immediate awkwardness and remember what they learned from all this....this story has been excellent, can't wait for more :)

yep it is, and they should be turning back to adults soon.

oh lovely chapter- i really love this story - very nicly done

What a heartbreaking way for Spike to find Xander in when he got him from the attic and realized how his words had hurt him. And poor Spike, the fear he felt with Xander backing into the street.

hehe cant wait for "next week"

I love this so much. Between the photo shoot and Xander calling Spike "Mr. Poopy-Pire" I've been howling with laughter, so much that my poor little James was scared from his nap and almost fell off the desk, which started another round of laughter. It's been a blast to read. Thanks so much.

poor little xander...seems he was always prone to getting himself in trouble..which doesnt work out well with the sort of family he had...*tears*...such a sweet chapter, cant wait for more :)

Honeymonn phase...big bad mush...LOL. LOve this fic, want more:soon:

 

OH no she lost, I wonder where Anya is I just realized she is not a child.

I hope they are all changed for the better - good fic so far!

I loved the roller skating idea and the fun that they all had. Buffy fell :D Spike really can have fun with this.

Spike can pick me up anytime!

Couldn't review last chap. due to Fatal Error, have to do it another time, but this is so good, just love how they are getting along, it's an amazing and unique story. Thank you ever so, for writing it. Keeping my fingers crossed as I push the sumit button.

lol hehe buffys in for s shock! LOL ggreat update!

she should have known better! lol it *is* a hellmouth after all, i so knew she was gonna lose! lol.. a thoroughly beautiful, heartwarming chapter...cant wait for more :)

ooo...what'll Spike make her do?

 

OH that was good, but it has got me wondering in all this where is Dawn.

LMAO that was to funny! It was sssooooooooo funny

The food fight had me laughing as well as the reactions to it. The little peak into Angel's childhood was sad. I love the hero worship that Xander has for Spike.

Trying this again. Stop making me feel bad for Angel too. Damn! Great scene at the Ice Cream shop, let the kids have fun. If Xander doesn't totally have a better relationship with Spike after this, plese let a demon eat him. Thanks for the amazing chapter.

I laughed out loud when Willow dumped the icecream on Spike's head. This was adorable.

Teeheehee! Funny story with strange children.

how fun!! i love this update, so sweet...it kind of breaks my heart that they couldn't have really had these childhoods...and what sort of effect will this have on spike's and xander's relationship when they grow up? excellent chapter, cant wait for more!

LOL thats hilarious!!!

I love you!...as an author.

Xander wants to stay with Spike forever.... how sweet...*giggle...giggle..snicker...snicker*

Wonderful story! I love your personalization of all the kiddies, especially Angel, Giles and Xander. (I nipped over to LJ to read the rest, and found the epilogue, that I hadn't read, wonderful!)

 

Oh it was nice to see Spike and Xander like that, wonder what will happen when they are big again.

*snff* *sniff* WAHHHHHHHH - that was very good - I feel so sorry for poor xander!

Oh, now you've gone and made me feel sorry for Harris, damn it. You know Cordy never had to make any money by babysitting, She'd be no help at all. This weeks gonna be a hoot! Very funny and entertaining story. Thanks for the read.

Spike was so sweet to Xander....aawww...

The scene with little Xander after he wet the bed was heart-breaking. I am really enjoying this fic and am looking forward to following it. :)

I SO love this story. I'm studying to be an adolescent psychologist so this story is of extra interest to me. I love how by going back to their childhoods they are dealing with issues that followed them into adulthood...good old fashion regression therapy buffyverse-style! :)

lol i think giles is funny and awwww "love you spike" thats so cute!! although i think the pic of giles in the banner reminds me of spike.. lol

Great chapter. Love this fic. Please update soon.

Yep, I do know this story! Really funny stuff ahead...

you brought me to genuine, heart-in-my-throat, streaming-down-my-face tears...poor little xander...you captured the emotions, the pain and fear, so well...and maybe this is TMI, but i am raising two little ones who've been through that sort of nightmare, and you have managed to capture the genuine pain and heartbreak of that situation and create a very real reactions for xander's character in this fic...you've touched me deeply...waiting breathlessly for your next update :)

Little Giles is a hoot - 'care to make somethin' of it?' I can just see him!

 

Oh who is the blond boy, I wonder.

*grin* oh this could be so much fun - I can't wait to see who all has been affected by this spell!

This is just going to be yummy, but why Giles? he's pretty much accepted their relationship. Wonderful chapter. Can't wait to get caught up.

You the fatal-error-problem is hell for us reviewers. I reviewed this on this on SR because BSV wouldn't letme.Here it is one more time: Yay! A sequel to Innocence found!

This looks like it is going to be a very interesting ride, and I am really looking forward to it. :D

hahahaha giles is a kid too?! hilarious!!

This is seeming very familiar. Has this part of the story been posted elsewhere before?

great chapter

oh my gosh...that is so hilarious!! so its willow, xander and giles? anybody else kid-sized? something tells me though that they're gonna get a bit of an understanding as to how xander turned out the way he did before it's over...can't wait for more :)

Favour for favour.

Great start for the sequel. I loved the first part, and can´t wait to see what happens next.!!!!
