Loved Spike's letter to Emma.  Almost got me teary. 
Glad you liked it (sorry about the teary!)

I love an ending where I think "jings what will the kratash and the ruler do next!". I am enjoying this fic and think that a daughter is perfect - Spike is suited to being surrounded by women who can wrap him around their fingers.

Glad I am keeping you intrigued!

Really got a hate on now for the Kratash::)).........everything seems so dire and Buffy and Spike are almost completely in the dark........................On their relationship side, it's absolutely lovely the way you've written them, so sweet and loving with each other...... A wonderful relationship, that just happens to be fraught with danger and potential slaughter on any given day.........but if not we wouldn't have a story would we, and this one just keeps getting better..............Great update, thanks!
The Kratash are there for the hating. 

I'm glad you like the Buffy/Spike relationship. I always wondered if this is the way it could have gone if various other things hadn't happened on the show.

Thanks for the review!

Now we know it's a girl, and we know were the name of the story came from.

Exactly. Names are endlessly fascinating to me. Some names have the most bizzare meanings - you have to wonder where they came from. So the meaning of this name (which I looked up - it was one of the top ten girl's names of Spike's era) really got my gears turning.

A baby girl for Spike, you know how much he loves Summers women!
I figured he's been a pretty good vampire of late and deserves to get what he wants.

So emma's the universal!  Hope all her fierce protectors will be able to defend her.

We shall see...

But yeah, for some reason I saw the meaning of the name, and that became the genesis of the whole idea. The muses work in mysterious ways in my brain.
