I said in my comments for the last chapter that i was looking forward to reading more and you do NOT disappoint! I can't praise this enough, the way you "Get" the characters, every last one, and the way you've brought humor and horror (fear, drama etc) together, as the best episodes always did.

And I really loved your mediation - or Buffy's - on being pregnant, on not being able to even look at herself in the mirror anymore, feeling an alien thing inside her that isn't her's. This is not the "roses and ribbons" version of pregnancy that women are told they are supposed to feel - I suspect a lot more women feel this way about it, at least at some point, than we're generally led to believe. (Of course I haven't been so I wouldn't know, but this feels very real when I read it.)
