So yeah this is a hell of a story. Damn fine. Got me all emotional for Sanny. For the twins. For Buffy and For Spike. Life is so hard, but Joyce did get something right Buffy is a remarkable person as well as Spike. Shanny needs to know she was and is loved by her parents. Well I am going to read the rest just thought I would leave a comment
 Glad you are enjoying the story.  I hope to update it again soon.  it will be on my LJ first and then on SR if this site is not back up and running by then.

Yes, Shanny needs to know she is loved, but the scars run very deep. Being the child of a Slayer and a Vampire is never going to be easy, especially when you don't have any powers of your own.  At least Dawn knew she came from something weird!

Poor Shanny, nearly as dumb as her mother. Can Angel beat up this punk who had sex with a fifteen year old girl? Even Angel waited until Buffy was 17.

It's clear Shanny has some pretty deep issues with her parents, and a lot of her actions in life have come from trying to get a reaction or punish them. I hope she takes the time to actually talk to them so she can help her children and begin doing the work to heal her family.

I feel so bad for Shanny, she has never come to terms with what she believes was her abandonment by her parents and part of it is not knowing that they did try to call her on her birthday. It’s like she is emotionally still locked into her teenage years. I really like how well you do the emotional aspects of everyone. I am looking forward to more of Shanny’s story. Thanks so much for the update, I really enjoyed it.
Shanny is such a complicated girl, and only 24. She sounds older but is still very young. I think we have a long way to go with her journey - and the twins’, too, of course.

Guess she does have her own reason for feeling the way that she does about her parents, no matter how wrong she is about them and their love for her. So she has pictures of the demon who was her first lover. Wonder if Willow could do a revealing spell to see what he is. She already has the DNA from the children, of course she'd definately know that they aren't David's children then. It could give Shanny some answers to her questions. Thanks for the update, LH, Great read.
Thank you for reading and reviewing. Always interesting to hear what you have to say about the chp.
Hope it won’t be too long before I update but must get another chp of Strip Snap done first!

I feel so sad for all of them, Shanny believes her mom and dad don't love her at all, the twins are so independant it's heartbreaking, and Buffy and Spike barely know what to do. Update soon.
I’ve never written such an angsty story before. But it’s just turned out that way. Glad you’re enjoying it.

Wow, this is a really excellent story. I just discovered it and have to congratualte you on such an interesting concept. It's a great depiction of the complex set of feelings the characters are struggling to understand. I love Shanny, Joyce and Billy. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next. Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a nice review. Makes the writing of the next chp much easier. Glad you like the little family I’ve given Buffy and Spike.

I love the chapters from Shanny's pov. She is a very interesting person. There are so many spuffy baby fics but other than this one, i've read none that deal with the emotions of a kid of two supernatural people. Very thoughtful.
Thank you for reading and commenting. This started out as the twins’ story, but I soon realised theirs is tied up in Shanny’s. Glad you’re enjoying it so far.
