Thank you for the wonderful reviews. I tried to utilize their strengths and weaknesses. I was surprised how hard it is to create a baby!fic. It was posted a while back, but this is the much revised version. It was my first Spuffy fic, and thus my baby. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reviewing.

you can. provided the story cooperates. it is being stubborn at the moment.

And thank you for reviewing. Beginnings are nice. I just have to make Spike stay bad-ass enough while participating in childrearing.

There will if I can ever beat it into submission! Thanks for reading.

Thank you. A wonderful complement.

Yup! We should all have slayer muscles! Thanks for reviewing.

hehe...I think that little moment was one of my favorites.

You have a baby fic kink? Cool! I really adore baby fics. They're just so cute. It's why I wrote this.

There is a sequel, but it's in heavy revisions and may be scrapped entirely. But something will eventually follow.

Thank you for reading and you very kind reviews!

Thank you very much. I'm a little sad too, but in a good way.

Well, it's the end of this one and the beginning of another. I'm working on it! Hopefully it won't be too long before I can start posting it.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Thank you! I like happy sniffles.

hehe...I have a sequel. But it need serious overhaul. But I will eventually put it up.

Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I appreciate it!

Thanks! I know it's not high literature, but fun is a good word for it!

ummm...Did I mention this is an AU season 7? Alternate destroyage abounds.

Thank you! I wanted to get into his head, but not really have everyone scratching their head over what I wrote. And I just couldn't resist that little bit with the children.

points up to the part about revealing plotlines.

But to make you feel better and torture you at the same time, it was deliberately confusing.

hehe..well, I've seen it once. The others were stillunconsious when we shipped them up.

And then there was the poor woman who just had to be awake and alert while in this vfibb, flatline, vfibb, flatline., patters. Talk screaming about equipment and stuff! It's really wierd to see them defibb an alert patient!

And the interaction is not really made up. It was a common an dsimple excuse they'd give the family. We usef to have to monitor pregnannt head trauma's a lot closer because they were more prone to alarms. The locations and extent of swelling could contibute to irregularity. Her blood volume due to the pregnancy could cause irregularity.

And they wouldn've been tosee on their heineys the first 10 seconds, and she'd have been intubated instead of bagged, but then you don't get the nifty gasp! *g*

LOL, I was! But I figured that I could get away with it because a) Sunnydale, and b) having security show up and try to toss Angel out seemed to disrupt the flow. You'll really start laughing next chapter or two!

Sometimes it's really hard when you know how things really go, because you want to write it the way it should go, but it's terribly counter-story-productive.

hehe...that sounds a bit...incestuous!

Honestly, I was hedgy about keeping the prophecy in. But decided that I liked it. (Because the sequel can't happen without it, mostly. *g*)

Buffy? Stubborn? Why, that's just silly! And unfortunately, during pregnancy, blood flows away from the brain, making higher thoughts...not so much! &g&

I know...being an *intensive* revamps, It's set mid season 7. Which poses interesting challenges.

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying!

well this brings us full circle back to where we were at the beginning. *g*

ahh... I have two words for you.... pregnancy hormones!

If we're going to keep score about patience and infuriating, you'd better have a lot of paper! *g*

Hmm...perhaps you can enlighten me? When I cut and paste back into word, it doesn't flag anything other than fragments. And since most of the fragments are inner monologue, I don't change them, because people often do not think in complete sentences. Feel free to email me. I believe my email is up.

You will have to wait and see! *weg*

Don't you wish you could set them down and just force them to talk to each other, and listen?

probably about as reasonably as ever. ;)

yes, but when have Buffy and Spike ever done that?! hehehe

Thanks! next? Why...more angst of course!

ah, it could never be that simple! And yes, quite sneaky.

hehe..all in good time!

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying and hope I haven't broken the rules too much. After all, it is temporary!

heh...can't resist Willow butting in, now could I?

hehe...really? I'm a sucker for them. I like to see the different ways people come up with get get Buffy pregnant.

And thanks for the compliment!

heh...should have more tonight or tomorrow. This one should roll out pretty quickly.

well, that was kind of what I figured would go under cliche fic. *g* Baby fic, wedding fic, etc.

This was my first baby (pardon the pun condsidering the fic) after many years, so I'm revamping it and trying to rid the cheddar. LOL

Thanks! Should have more tonight or tomorrow.

hmmm, sorry, but Dawn only makes a brief appearance in this one.

I know it's not clear now, but it will soon be *very* clear.

ahhhh, but you haven't seen the rest of teh story! LOL! Give me time! hehehe

thanks! Karma willing, I plan to update pretty frequently!
