I believe this was my first attempt at writing long-form fiction, back in 2003. Fan fiction was a fantastic way to get my sea legs, so to speak. It's interesting to see where I was then, as a writer. Re-reading it, I had to stop myself from editing anything. I had a good chuckle at the unabashed, sappy romance of the story, but I'm still rather fond of it. And proud.
Summary: Set mid-season 6. Begins at the end of ‘Once More With Feeling’. Buffy needs something to make her feel alive, but she already has something, if she’ll only open her eyes. Disclaimer: Joss Whedon, Fox, Inc. and Mutant Enemy own BtVS and its characters. I just treat them better.
Still grieving Spike's recent death, Buffy learns of an ancient prophecy revealing that the key to bringing him back may be back in LA. With a rapidly growing baby bump and impossible circumstances, the clock is ticking for Buffy to re-unite with Spike as rumours of a slayer-vampire child rock the demon world. As they rush to protect their newborn child, Spike and Buffy question whether they can truly be a semi-normal family.
