I like the series but I would love more interactions with other children than Xander, Cordy, Fred and Willow.I´ll hope you will write more stories in this series.

Glad you like it. Honestly, it just depends on who is causing the most trouble at any given moment. But there are at least two more long stories to this series, plus all the drabbles, so there's plenty of time.

I was re-reading this story and wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed how Jack dealt with the Social Worker and your inclusion of Anne as their psychologist. :)
Comments from author:
Thanks. Jack, I would figure, would be good at dealing with necessary evils. And Anne. Oh, that just seemed natural, to me.

Willow, Fred, Andrew, and Oz. I woulda thought Wes was part of the four. Is he older? Or has Cordy dominated his time and life, as per usual? :-P Or is it because they're more science oriented than he is?
-- The woman on his doorstep was dressed in a neat yet cheap suit and sturdy shoes. Jack made a silent promise to himself that he’d stop listening to Cordelia’s fashion critiques as the woman said, “We had someone call in that there were a number of children here who weren’t being cared for properly.”
LOL! He shouldn't, and they SO would start planning on flaming poo. No matter what their ages. Love that :-D
--Xander ran over and grinned happily up at them, taking Jack’s hand and squeezing. And it began, the distraction attractions had started their act. “Hi!” Xander chirped.
*giggles :-D* It never ceases to amaze me how they know how to pull on the act. When they're put on the spot, acting normal is painful for them. But when they're given free reign to put on a show, BOY are they good!
What's with Cordy's name by the way? Not that it isn't lovely, but does it have any significance? Other than the Summers or O'Neill, or shorter way to say it, lol, Why April?
Awww, Lyrie and her boys! Awww. I love how she is with them and I love how she is when she learns something new. The babies really must be an utmost fascination. The genetic condition is ... interesting, lol, but I woulda looked at him as weird as Ms. Jones is, despite my love of the weird.
-- Spike asked. It’d taken 3 days of nagging from Buffy and Willow both to get him to unbend enough to call the adults of the house something besides their names or some crazy nickname he’d cooked up. Jack had told them to leave it but his kids didn’t quit once they’d set their minds to something.
I so love your little eye for details and your niceness enough to mention them so I can coo all over the place :-P Oh, that goes for Cordy cuddling herself to Xander. Oh and Gunn being a snorer, cause while those two aren't exactly canon, Cordy would and I wouldn't be surprised if Xand did.
And, wow on the baby boys. I like it though, so all the guys are 'dad's. There's no favoritism, and the girls, well, they aren't likely to either ways (not that the guys are, just makes more sense to me *shrugs*)

Wes is older but he was also sick while the four were going to classes with Cassie. Cordelia does seem to demand as much of his time as she can, though. But, most importantly, it was because they were more science minded than him. Wesley's smart but it's more Daniel's kind of smart than, say, Sam's.
Jack's learning all kinds of new and interesting things. ;)
They're perfectly willing to pull out all the stops to get the attention on them and away from the kids that don't want it. And, yes, they are very good.
Okay, Cordelia's name. Erm, was a complete geek moment on my part. The Summers part was added because she was adopted, right? And the O'Neill part because she was adopted again but kept her first adopted name. The, um, April was alluding to April O'Neill from the Ninja Turtles. I couldn't help it. I'm a nerd.
Lyrie didn't really spend any time around any of the women before she reached the higher realms so it stands to reason that she'd be more fond of the guys than the girls. As a demon, you have to figure that the only time she'd seen a baby in her past life was to be eating it so you know that they're a fascination for her. And, yeah, I'd probably look at him funny, too. Because, really, blue? On a kid that young?
It just didn't seem like a Spike thing to do, to just start calling the adults Mom or Dad without being prodded. SO, I explained. And Cordelia, well, she saw it in her vision and she was a little traumatized herself. And somebody in the group had to be a snorer. You just don't get that many kids together without one snorer.
And, yeah, baby boys. Glad you like that.

Funny and adorable - not many authors can do that, but you seem to manage it without effort. I am definitely enjoying this series. I'll be looking forward to seeing any future additions to the series. Could you let me in on the secret to your long chapters? My hands HURT after three pages...

Thanks.
It's not my hands that hurt, but my wrists. And don't get me wrong, I write a lot, but not always on the same day. And sometimes, I swap from typing to hand writing. That's a different kind of pain, though.
