*THIS GIRLY DOESN'T OR WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER OWN COWBOY BEBOP!*
Chapter 2: lack of color
I looked deep in the eyes of the women in front of me; besides being pregnant I'm sure she was here by my side waiting for me to open my eyes.
"I'm sorry I wasn't around."
"That's fine," tears started forming at the corners of her eyes.
"Just make sure that you're here from now on. That's all that I would ever ask of you."
"I've just missed you so much."
She was full on crying now and I couldn't help myself from pulling her in and wrapping my arms around her. I held her face between my hands and I kissed her. We both knew that I didn't love her, hell at the moment I didn't love any one but she loved me and that was enough for me to try and comfort her and make up the time lost, it's not like its impossible. I could love Faye, right now it could just be the love one has for the women that gave birth to their children but it's was there when we would have sex. It was there and I felt it but I had been so caught up with my own problems to put any mind to them but know there's nothing to stop me from seeing what attracted me to her in the first place. We have such complicated past that we drove right into each other and now our futures are permanently woven together.
"So when can I see them?"
I felt so bad I didn't even know their names.
"When ever you decide to stop trying to kill yourself and get the hell out of here," she smiled she hasn't changed one bit.
"What are their names?"
"Ganymede and Callisto."
"Those are very interesting names, but I like it."
"I'm glad, I was really tired of boring old simple common names."
Julia
I shook off the thought, no use thinking about the dead. I tried my best to regain my composer and listen to what the woman in front of me was saying.
"I hope you didn't mind that I took the liberty of naming them but you were really dead to the world."
"Not at all, I'm no good with things like that. My only hope is that they took after me."
"And why is that?"
"Where else would all the good looks come from?" I was ready to shield myself but all she did was let out a sigh of frustration.
"Wow, you know I think I'm really going like this new you, you don't argue as much. If I would have known I would have knocked you up much earlier." I laughed and tried to duck and cover while she assaulted me.
"Hey, I just woke up from a coma!"
"And I have deal with two babies that keep me up at night, so what."
"Nice, you planning on using that to get what you want from now on?"
"It's worked so far" we both laughed then the doctor walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Spiegel, Mrs. Spiegel, good to see that you're up and laughing"
"When can I leave?" I shot a look at Faye while I waited him to answer.
"I'm afraid we would need to run some test on you to see if the coma damaged you in any way and you may need to learn to re-walk and strengthen up your muscles a lot of physical theory may be involved. We used a lot of experimental drugs on you so we need to see what actually worked and what didn't. "
"Re what? No I'm feel just fine" I pushed the sheets aside and whipped my legs to one side of the bed. I saw the panic in Faye's face when I placed my feet on the floor. Being as I'm not as stupid as people peg me to be I tested myself first putting so weight on the balls of my feet first just to see how it would feel. It felt just fine, so I distributed the weight throughout the whole foot and then to the other. I was about to stand but I felt the seven months on my back just then and gritted my teeth.
"Help me up" I asked Faye and before I finished the sentence she was there with her arm on my back and her other gently pulling me to my feet.
I prepared myself for the worst sharply inhaling while I put the whole weight of my body on my feet. I blinked twice then looked up at Faye then the doctor and walked a couple of feet to where he was standing.
"I feel just fine doc, if not better than fine." The doctor was a bit surprised but he didn't seem at all shaken.
"Well. Mr. Spiegel, you've had the best care money can buy I'm truly not surprised but we must still run test to see how you're doing on the inside but I must say you have cut your stay here but half but I still find it odd that you reacted that way to the coma, like I'm sure your wife has put you up to speed on things the coma was only to give your body to heal itself while letting the medicines help as well but still it was only for a couple of months or so that's why we must run test and labs to see if there was any specific reason for the extended coma."
"Maybe it wasn't the physical that needed time to repair, maybe it was the emotional. You know how they say that if you break a mirror you get seven years bad luck but what most people don't know is the story behind it. When you break a mirror you break your soul and it takes seven years for it to repair so maybe those extra months were my way of repairing my soul?"
"You know what maybe you're right, I always believed that to be a good doctor you had to believe in everything and anything at the same time. But we still need to keep you at least for today and tomorrow after that it's all up to what results say." with that he nodded to me and Faye then left. I turned to Faye.
"Wife?" all she did was laugh.
"You got to admit it has a certain ring to it."
Maybe one day it will.

Ok, so that was THE shortest chapter out of all of them for some reason or another, who knows. I know the twins' names are weird but that's me and my love of weird unique names to tough, but you must admit it has a certain charm given the world they live in. So keep reading and I'll keep posting!
PS: for those who have similar taste in music like mine, your speculations are right the chapter is named after a song of the dear Death cab For Cutie get used to it cause all of the chapters (including the name of the Fic itself) is named after song titles though the bands may differ and no I have no plans on including lyrics of any kind because this is not a song fic.
