You think the baby will die? It's my thinking that the baby won't be on the show for too long. At the same time though I don't think they'll kill it either. That's too tragic. That's why I'm thinking they'll try to put the baby in the safest hands possible, especially if it's needed later to be a warrior for the side of good.

I just don't understand though. They should know that the circumstances were different then. Plus, with the way Angel threatened her, he'd know if she showed up it has to be for a pretty good reason. The situation has changed and Darla did everything she could so that she wouldn't have to see him again either.

It's been like that for a while. I honestly don't know if anything will resolve the majorities on that board. Minear used to post more often but really doesn't anymore.

I'll think about it.

Yeah, I understand. So instead they decide to rant, rave, and call her names because they realize how important she already is and plus with the child, wow, she's even more so. Right.

Oh, you are not kidding there. You are sooo not kidding.

Exactly. You are preaching it. =O
