Thanks to Cryptwarmer for making sure I don't make Spike an emo toddler and thanks to Flowerofthewolf for all the help making it flow. We tweaked the formatting a bit to have a new paragraph every time it's someone's else's thoughts and not JUST someone else talking.
Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!

Greeting Guys, Gals, and non-binary pals. I just want to take a second to remind everyone about the warnings that go with this fic. I did my best to not make it to graphic but I understand it may still trigger some so be sure to take a second look at my warning before continuing.

This is it guys, the last bit. It's been fantastic working on this with my wonderful Betas Flowerofthewolf and Cryptwarmer. I'm sad it over. I don't care how long it is after it's been posted that your reading this, I would still love to hear what you all think. I love you all and I wouldn't have had the drive to finish this without everyone's support and words of encouragement. Also, a final shout out to javajunkie247 for the banner and the little beauty at the end of this chapter.
