She must be going out of her mind. Spike's child, he hasn't even thought about it yet, only thing he's worrying about is keeping her alive. Great chapter.

very good update to a fascinating tale. any chance buffy wiil actually listen to spike? thanks for the read.

why can't Buffy just see it as a baby? u know a kid, her kid? more soon please

God - why won't she listen to him? I thought she liked him in this Sunnydale.

What happened to Chapter 8? The Chapter 8 posted here gave me serious deja vu for Chapter 7.

I hope they figure out how to kill Ben and keep the baby. More story please.

This is a great chapter. I really like that she knows that she loves Spike even if she won't admit it. I also like that part of her turmoil is that she feels that she is carrying some ‘devil thing’ and what she would love for this child to be hers and Spike’s. We know that she loves Dawn, but with her referring to this child as a ‘devil thing’ it makes me wonder what she deep down thinks that Dawn is. It is too bad that she has learned so well how to hide and control her emotions, to be the slayer, and has never found the middle ground between being Buffy and being the slayer, that she has never truly found herself. For her it is either one or the other, and because of that she suffers because she has never found balance in her self. Hopefully Spike will be able to reach her and she will let him help her with this new threat, and perhaps it will also help her truly find who she is.
