Love the story Lilac - the twins are great. Poor Spike, still jealous after all these years.

I'm curious about why Spike can't see joyce and Billy. It does seem like they keep making the same mistakes regarding their kids.....that sending them away is going to make them feel anything other than unwanted and useless. While I can understand why Buffy would try and keep the peace I wish she would listen to Spike about how there's more to Billy than she's letting herself see. Seems like the lot of them are having issues following their gut instincts.

Good to see jealous Spike rear his head - not that Buffy would care about the house and car. The twins are terrific characters.

Shanny shuddered; she’d tried not to hug her dad again. - that was too cold for words. Can't imagine Spike putting up with not getting a hug from his little girl.

Is Angel up to something wicked?

Magic gone wrong? Wonderful! And it turns out that Shanny, Angel, Spike and Buffy are all terrible parents!

Those little stinkers! There all the time, listening in and knowing that everyone is worried. They didn't hear Angel say that they were his grandchildren as well? or read his mind? I hope that before this is through. Shanny completely understands that her parents sent her away because they loved her and wanted her safe and not because they didn't want her or care about her. Thanks LH for posting another great chapter, love this fic.

Great chapter! I just love this story! I hope you update soon!

You broke my heart with the part where Buffy yelled at Shanny for burning Spike and she stopped hugging him. Our heroes aren't covering themselves with glory in this one, are they?

maybe billy can do to angel what he, apparently has done to his sister and himself. a not being seen or heard angel is a great thing. very good read, thank you.

Wow! Things sure are getting ugly between the adults, the fireworks are bound to get even more explosive when Shanny and David get there.
I enjoyed reading Shanny musings, her opinions about the twins were really interesting. Loved the closing scene, can't wait to find out what's going on with the twins. Wonderful chapter!

I don't blame Spike for being worried. No matter how powerful they are they are still children and there is alot of evil in the world.

I kinda feel like smacking Buffy for listening to Angel. Angel should never have just shown up, he should've told Shanny who Connor was or if he felt he had to tell Buffy and Spike , call first.
