Aw, that was sweet. Just the right touch of doubt and apprehension on Buffy's part, and fear on Spike's. 

"....just tell me now.."  Made my heart ache for him just a bit.

Oh, I hope Buffy doesn't mess it up!  At least she is telling Dawn, and I think she is right, she couldn't hide it if she tried.  May have trouble hiding it from the others too.

oh me gosh i loved it i loved it i loved it! im so glad they decided to tell dawn. i foresee a bunch of dawn squeelage when  she finds out! ^_^ oh, that was so cute. i love how you make it all nice and sweet but still have the normalcy, like it doesnt move too fast. you know, how spike openly says 'i love you' to buffy and she says 'i know.' i loved that. can't wait for more!!!

Nice fluffy chapter.  :)

I'm sure Dawn will figure it out before Buffy even tells her!  Thanks for the hair bit - I always loved the crazy-basement look.  Can just imagine it...mmmm.

You write them so beautifully, thanks for sharing.

What a nice chapter. :-) I really like that they have the chance to know eachother again.... And that Dawn gets to know as well. Please update soon.!!
