Now we are only missing the LA gang. Get them all together and use Spike's mouth, and you got a ticking bombe. (Cross my fingers.)

Terrific chapter!  I liked Willow not realizing who she was talking to until a couple blocks later.  Hee!  Also, loved Darla's confusion over thanking Willow for her help.  & yay, Lawson AND Darla made it to town on the same day!  I cannot wait to see what happens when the family's been reunited. LOL  Interesting that Lawson didn't know what a Slayer is (perhaps because he kept--mostly--to himself?) and that they laid out all the details immediately.  I hope Lawson tells Buffy some stories about his time with her mother.  Oh Willow, I get the feeling she's going to do something even worse to try to make things 'better'.  Hope those protection spells hold up!  And will we see her call Angel because Buffy "came back wrong" in her opinion?  The Fang Gang could make things a li'l extra interesting, especially Cordelia's reaction to both Darla's pregnancy & Lawson's existence.  Plus, I love Lorne & Wes, so any fic that includes them is good in my book!  More soon please! :D
