Dark thoughts.  Poor Nikki.  All the slayer impulse without the slayer power...  sucks.

I liked it when they all stayed slayers... bad shadowmen!

You have a really nice way of portraying grown-up scoobies and their offspring :)

Though I kinda feel like they should be liking Andrew more.

Wait a mitute there!

nah, I didn't put too much thought into it. Merely what I came up with while I was reading your stories once through (I tend to do a full one sitting, get it all down in one bit reading on stories).

Now that I know Blood of Blood refers to the children, it is another piece to help me in my figuring out. I figured the middle was wrong, but I am 90% sure the second to last line I'm right about, 3 deaths for buffy, 3 times the first evil rises up and needs to be stopped.
actually you are still far off, but that's ok, it gives you a reason to read the fic. :)

Wow, the series is continuing... And with a good first chapter. I would like to read more of this. Please update soon.
Thanks, though I don't know when I'll be updating the next chapter.

WOW, I am just glad that at least for a short time, everyone was together for a happy occassion. And to see the family expanding. Awesome to see them all. I am a little scared that Nikki is going to England, but at least in some form both Nikki and Richard will be closer. And it will just be Buffy/Spike and their girls. Just such a great start of a story.
Thanks!

Well, hopefully, many years from now.

Nice to see the next part in the series. And you reminded us of all the stuff left off from where the last ended.
Thanks for reading

buffy and co must be complete idiots, because the prophecy makes alot of sense to me:

Blood of light, Blood of dark,

Already covered

Blood of Blood,

Not sure, but I think this refers to the blood of those made from the blood of light abnd dark...the Graves children.

Blood spilt to cover up the evils of blood’s evil,

Means that blood is always shed to try and hid evils of man, demon, whatever. Creating more evil, and thus, more bloodshed

Undercover of darkness blood is hidden,

This means that the blood (killings, as well as possibly the big bad) isn't seen right away.

Three times blood is split, three times evil rises,

The most obvious. Buffy will die three times as the only Slayer, and thus 3 times will the First Evil Rise. 1) Her first death 2) the death Ariel caused. 3)????

Blood of light, Blood of dark,
Cycle begins anew.

Once the First Evil is defeated a third time, a new cycle will begin...either a new slayer and vampire will meet and begin the dance, or that Buffy and Spike will begin a new cycle of saving the world.


Seems pretty obvious to me...and I am just a casual fan. But a team of watchers, vampires, witches, and the Slayer can't figure that out?

Idiots.
I must say that your review has amused me. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this. The reason that no one in my little verse has figured the prophecy out yet is that it isn't a high priority, and Andrew's in charge, 'nough said.

As for your interpretation, again, you've obviously put a lot of thought into it. You are right on that blood of blood means Buffy and Spike's kids, as for the rest... not so much.

I'd love to explain it all to you, but that would give away the plots to future fics in this series. I'm afraid you are going to have to ponder out what the rest of the prophecy means on your own.

Thanks again for the review.
