Note: Rather than put it in the story, just assume that Spike survived the battle with Vicious and then everything stayed the same. Saves time and space and it doesn't bore you with the same crap you're reading else where.
Several years after the battle with Vicious, the Bebop crew continued their hunt for bounty and lived their lives in the same manner as they used to. After several months of hard work and nothing but scraps of what ever they can manage for food, the crew had finally successfully caught a bounty and received a nice sum of prize money the capture. They decided to take a break from bounty hunting, so they went on a little vacation. They spent the vacation at a resort in a hotel looking over a warm setting of the beach and setting sun. As they all relaxed in their hotel room they heard a ring at the door.
"Spike, you gonna get that?"asked Jet, "I'm a bit busy here playing cards with this vixen here." He was addressing Faye, who, as usual, was cheating him out of his money.
"It's not my fault I get blackjack every single time. You're the one who dealing the cards."
As the bickering continued between the two, Spike was sound asleep on the couch, not hearing a single thing going on. Ed got up to answer the door accompanied by Ein. She looked down and saw a basket. She brought the basket into their room and set it down on the table between Faye and Jet. "House warming gift!" she exclaimed as she dramatically sat down by the table. Ein climbed onto the table and sniffed the basket.
"I wonder what it could be?" Faye asked.
"It's probably just fruits from the hotel to make us feel welcomed and spend more money," Jet replied in a cynical tone.
Faye unraveled the cloth in the basket and as she saw what was inside, her eyes widened.
"What? What is it?" Jet asked, "Hey! What ever it is, you'd better share it!"
Jet looked into the basket and his reaction was much like Faye's. A pair of large deep brown eyes stared straight back at him.
"Where in the world did it come from?!" Jet asked.
"It's just a baby," Faye said as she picked the child up, "you know, the thing that all humans start out as when they're born?"
Spike's eyes opened slowly as he sat up on the couch he was napping on. He rubbed his head and looked towards the table where everyone had gathered.
"What's going on here?" he said groggily.
He walked over to see what was causing a stir and saw the baby in Faye's arms.
"Woah! Faye! You never told us you had a baby!"
"It's not mine, we found it outside the door. But I plan on keeping it."
"You can't keep it! We have to give it to the proper authorities," said Jet.
"Why? So they can toss him away to some trailer trash family to take of him?"
"Fine, we'll take a vote. All those in favor of getting rid of the kid, raise your hands," Jet said sounding confident that he'd win the votes. Jet and Spike's hands went up.
"All those in favor of keeping him raise your hands,"said Faye. Both Faye and Ed raised their hands.
"Well, looks like the votes are split in half," said Spike.
"No, Ein vote too," Ed said. She looked to Ein and he barked.
"Ein said keep baby."
"What?! Ein's vote doesn't count! Besides, Ed's just making stuff up!" Jet complained.
"Ein is a member of the crew just like you and me, so why shouldn't his vote count? And you know how Ed has mysterious powers, talking to animals and all." Faye rebutted. "Well, case closed, the child stays." Faye got up and walked to her room playing with the infant in her arms, followed by Ed being her silly self and Ein barking away. Spike and Jet looked with their jaws dropped in disbelief of what just went on.
"Well, I guess there's no fighting it," Spike said.
"Women. They just have to get it their way." replied Jet. And from that day on, there was a new member to the Bebop.
