Thanks for your rviews again!  I'm glad it seems to be a new take on the the idea of bonding, and that people liked the difference between Spike and Angel's reactions to Buffy.  You might guess I had a little fun that.  You might be able to tell that, especially in this coming chapter, that I actually do work in a hospital, so I attempted to put real details in there.

Finally, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my dad.  It's his birthday today, he's turning the big 60!  Happy Birthday, Dad!  I love you!
