Chapter 3

Spike and Faye were standing in the kitchen trying to figure out what to do. Spike was the first to state their dilemma "How the hell do you take care of a sick kid?" Faye rolled her eyes "Well think about it lunkhead how did your parents take care of you when you were sick!" "I've been an orphan since I was three" "oh… well what about… the people who took care of you, then" Spike thought for a minute "when I was sick they would punch me in the stomach and tell me to deal with it" he offered "Did it help?" Faye demanded in an exasperated tone "No" Thought so…" Spike rolled his eyes" well how about you then?" Faye thought for a minute "My parents used to give me hot chicken soup when I was sick" She suggested. There was silence in the kitchen for a while.

"Faye? That would imply that we had meat in this house as in protein which we don't we have carbohydrates."

" Then about the next best thing."

"Which is instant ramen"

"I should have known"

"She loves ramen"(A/N:I don't know if that's true but hey this a fanfic so it is now)

So they prepared the instant ramen for Ed and Faye brought it in and Spike brought in the tray table and tried not to look bored. They set their burdens on the bed in front of her. She stared at the ramen. But she wasn't hungry in the slightest. So being Ed she took a hand full of it and stared at it for a moment then plopped it on her foot. She took another handful and placed it on her head. She took a third handful and placed it on her other foot. She sighed and wriggled her toes. Ein jumped on the bead and began licking the noodles off her head and feet. The two bounty hunters stared at the sick child. "Maybe we should call Jet?" Spike suggested. "Best idea you've had all day" she said lightly as she elbowed past him. Spike followed her. Ed heard it in the room.

Faye: Hey Jet… she said lightly

Jet: NOT NOW! Was the only answer she got

"Great" she muttered. Snoring could be heard from Ed's room. Faye strolled into the kitchen in search for her cigarettes. Spike walked into Ed's room. She leaned on the doorframe and stared at Ed. Ed was sweating and shivering in her sleep. Spike crept into the room and up the ramen and put it on the floor for Ein. She gingerly sat on the bed and stared at Ed. "Poor kid" he muttered "you really have do have to eat something you know" Later that night after Faye finished her dinner and she was strolling to her room. When she passed Ed's room, she heard whimpering. She stopped walking and entered Ed's room (the door was open). "No…No…dad where are you " she whispered as she tossed and turned. She was dreaming of the day her dad left her at the daycare center, when she realized he wasn't coming back. Faye stared at her and frowned she walked in quietly and carefully sat on Ed's bed she frowned at her. Ed continued to whimper. Faye gently took her hand and whispered comforting words to her. When Ed quieted Faye quietly got up left the room and gently closed the door. That night neither of the adults slept, both of them just lay on their beds staring at the ceiling. Although they refused to admit it they were worried about Ed.
