She stood infront of the bathroom mirror. Not sure of what to do or say. She sighed...she had been attached to it for years now, but in a matter of minutes she would be rid of it. Spike stood by the bathroom door and she glanced his way. He gave her a silly smile "Hey"

"I thought I come and see what you were up to...you've been too quite"

"Ah shut up Lunkhead...come here" he walked inside slowly. The fact that his body was still healing and the aid of a cane did not allow it for him to walk faster was hilarious to her. She giggled slightly as he cursed the stick for the umpteenth time that day.

He stood behind her and she watched through the mirror as he played with her long loose hair. It made her feel strange, but it wouldn't last "so, what are you up to?" she slumped her shoulders and then reached towards the sink. She lifted her hand and he just starred "cut it for me"

Spike was cut off guard with that one, no pun intended "why?"

"I need it gone...I miss my old style anyways"

He took the scissors from her tiny hands "are you sure about this?"

She nodded and closed her eyes "I can't stand it any more...and I want to look real good for when our baby is born" he chuckled and took hold of her long ponytail "here goes nothing"

The sound of the scissors cutting hair was almost soothing to her. She took in slow deep breaths and felt the need to lean back on him. As he finished he let his hands drop to her shoulders and began to run them softly. He leaned so that his mouth was near her ear making his breath tickle her "no matter what you do to your hair, you'll still look beautiful to me"

God she wanted to be in bed with him so bad, but how could he be attracted to her as she looked..well in her mind she felt she looked like a blimp. She felt unattractive and she had caught him starring at her a number of times as she dressed. Did he find her disgustingly fat? Or what?

She let a tear drop and he noticed that she was holding back a sob, so he turned her around so that she was face to face with him, but her eyes were still closed "Faye, love what it is?"

She shook her head "nothing"

"It was just hair faye, it will grow back" she kept shaking her head "you idiot that's not it, but leave it to a man to try and understand" she hissed back.

Okay so maybe hormones were responsible for all her moods, not that she needed to be pregnant for her to be so bitchy when she wanted.

"Then what's the problem? And don't tell me that you have something in your eyes"

She almost growled...instead "do you mean it when you say I'm beautiful?"

His eyes for the first time in days looked as if they were going to pop out. He took her hand and brought it to his lips "of course faye. Why would you ask such a thing?"

In a small voice she responded "becausei'mfatlikeabolloonandyouhaven'ttouchedmesinceyoucamebackfromthehospital"

He was having a hard time processing what she just said, so he took a deep breath "would you mind repeating that for me. I didn't quite get that"

She pulled on her short hair as a sign of frustration "okay, you want to know...I don't feel beautiful especially since you haven't touched me since coming back from the hospital two weeks ago. So what do you think is my problem?"

He brought her into his arms and began to rub her back "I haven't touched you for two reasons love, one if I did I wouldn't be able to control myself and being in a very banged up condition wouldn't help either of us much"

She was about to pull away but he kept a firm hold on her "the second reason was because you were annoyed with me every time I touched you or looked at you. I didn't know what it was but Jet assured me that sometimes women in your state didn't like being touched"

She snorted "so you assumed I didn't want to be touched. Okay I admit that I didn't want you touching me a few days ago, but that's because I was worried that you would strain something. But you've been okay lately"

He chuckled softly "do you want me to touch you?"

She displayed a nice blush and he kissed her deeply. She moaned but pushed him back "but how can you want to touch me? I mean I look so...so.."

What the hell was wrong with this woman? Could she not tell how much he desire her?

He took her hand once again and placed it to his member. Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her. He was hard "how can you ask such a thing? It has been very hard for me to keep control of myself around you love. Do you feel what you do to me?"

She nodded and raised to her tip toes so she could kiss him again. It had been so long since they had been this close. He put his fingers around the hem of her t-shirt and began to raise it. Faye pulled on his t-shirt as she continued to peck him.

Soon both were top less, Faye leaned against the sink and watched as Spike kissed her stomach in the most tender way she couldn't imagine. She was then reminded of Sujiro and how Spike wasn't there for him "I'm sorry" she voiced and he stopped the kissing and looked at her.

"Huh?"

"I'm so sorry Spike" she combed his hair with her fingers

"Sorry for what? Do you want me to stop?" this was confusing him.

"No I don't want you to stop. I'm sorry that you weren't there for when I was pregnant with our son. I'm sure you would have loved it so much"

"I do admit that I wanted to be there so bad, but I'm content knowing that at least I can be in my son's life. Don't worry so much about it honey I'm okay. I'll be here for this little one and I'll be here for you and Sujiro"

"Alright enough with the talking I want us to get back to what we were doing" at that he grinned and took her hand leading her towards their room as best he could.

They were moving in rhythm having to stop and catch their breaths. They were making up for the loss time and neither was going to stop yet.

Finally they were going to get the happiness they deserved.

Nine months...Nine Fucking long months and yet their daughter wasn't born.

What was wrong?

They both sat in the doctor's office waiting for any explanations. She was worried that something was happening and Spike felt it in the room. The anxiety and the nervousness. He took her hand in his "it will be alright" his thumb rubbed her palm.

"What if something is wrong with her Spike?" he shook his head. They could not lose hope that this was just some fluke or something. "Nothing is wrong with our daughter Faye, you'll see"

The door opened and both turned to see the doctor enter with a file in his hands "Mr. Spigeal, miss valentine" they were both about to rise from the chairs "please no need. I checked your records miss valentines and you are right this little one should have been born about a week ago"

Faye was about to cry, Spike could feel it "Faye it's okay"

The doctor smiled "yes it's okay miss valentine, it is quite normal for some women to go over their due time. The only thing we have to do is to induce labor" her eyes widened. If they induced labor and it didn't work then they would have to cut her up. She hated needles so much.

"What do you mean induce labor doc?"

"Well Mr. Spigeal there are different way in which we could induce labor, we can have miss valentine drink plenty of herbal tea, have her do especial exercises, have her admitted to the hospital and given a shot that would help the process start, or" he stopped and looked at them with a glint in his eyes.

"Or?" both of them asked. The doctor chuckled and let his smile widened "or you can both have lost of sex which will speed it up"

If spike was happy that was an understatement. Sex, and lots of it...Hell yeah was what he was thinking. Faye on the other hand felt as if she was tired of the sex thing already. With the heavy weight she put on, plus her swollen feet, not to mention the headaches and the repeating nausea she was about ready to give up on the act for at least a year.

"What do you mean lost of sex? Are you insane?" spike was taken aback and looked at her funny "I want this kid out of me now. So what is going to be Doctor?"

The doctor sighed, usually couples in this situation were thrilled with the prospect of having lost of sex which the doctor provided "well, why don't you try the things I recommended except for the sex part and if nothing works then you can try that option"

"I swear you men are all in a conspiracy"

"What's so bad about having sex Faye, I mean we do it all the time"

"Oh shut up. It's not easy when you weight a ton and have difficulty moving. So you better rule the sex part out or you are so sleeping on the couch" with a last glare Faye stood up as best she could and made her way out of the office.

So now she sat in her room cursing every male species in the entire universe. They had tried everything and I mean everything except for the last suggestion. She was growing frustrated and it was pissing her off.

Spike of course was just waiting patiently. Sooner or later she would have to give in. Sujiro just shook his head side to side since watching his parents bicker about something. He didn't know and quite frankly didn't care, because minutes later they were cuddling on the couch or sleeping.

He bounced into their room "Mom are you okay?" she smiled and laid on her back "yeah sweetheart. Where's your father?"

"Ah he said that he was going to work" she sat up "he what? I told him not to leave in case she decided to come today"

"Mom, my sister is not coming yet. She likes it in there" he was pointing at the stomach

"Just like you used to"

"Did not"

"Did too, go on and get your things ready for school"

"Can I stay with you?"

"No, school young man. Arrr I need her out now" she laid back down and closed her eyes.

Sujiro giggled and walked over to the door "see you later mom"

"By honey. Don't you get into trouble"

Spike walked into the house three hours later. His meeting had run later than expected and he was sure going to get it. When he walked into the room he found it empty "Faye?" before he could take another step, he was pinned to the wall "Okay I can't take it anymore. Either you get her out of me now or I'm going to castrate you"

He smirked "oh. But honey you said you didn't want to do that" she grabbed his shirt "lets get this on or I swear you wont like what I will do to you Spike" she narrowed her eyes and he pouted "honey but you said..."

"Forget what I said you lunkhead. I know what you want, you want me to say I told you so, huh? Okay fine you told me so. Now can we get it on or what?"

He pushed her towards the bed and soon was taking her clothes off "you'll enjoy this and we will have her out soon"

"Shut up and work damn it" he laughed at her desperation and worked fast on her clothing. When they were both done with the clothes they began to kiss.

Carefully he laid her down and then laid on top of her "get ready Faye"

"Go on"

He began to raise her legs when she stopped him "what?"

Her eyes widened "stop it"

"Why?"

"My water broke"

He looked down "but we didn't even get to the good part" she hit him on the head "ow Faye"

"You idiot my water just broke. You know what that means"

He sighed dejectedly and stood up. Gathered his clothes and put them on "great I couldn't even get it on...ow damn it Faye quit that" he looked back at her and she was contorting her face in pain "oh right the baby...oops sorry honey"

She glared the best way she could and tried to get up "help me up please" in an instant he had her up and helping her get dressed in a nightgown.

He took the bag that was prepared and ran down "you idiot I'm still here" he came back up "oh oops"

Faye rolled her eyes "I swear Spike that I'm going to kill you someday" he took her hand and led her out of the room.

"Now miss Valentine we need you to push" Spike watched in awe as the baby was coming out. Yeah he wanted to pass out but he held on. He looked up and locked eyes with faye. He gave her two thumbs up and bent his head down to see more.

"Miss valentine again"

Spike fished for something inside his pockets and was waiting for the right moment. About five minutes later the baby was out and wailing. This was the most beautiful moment for both Spike and Faye.

"Alright here she is" the doctor handed her to a nurse and Spike watched as they cleaned her "Is she alright Spike?" he turned to Faye for a few seconds "she's fine love. Beautiful"

She laid her head on the pillow the exhaustion catching up with her "what's her name Miss valentine?"

"Spikerina" said Spike. She growled "Don't you even dare Spike, or I swear"

"Calm down I was kidding"

"You idiot. But seriously we need to name her. What do you want to call her spike?"

"Me" he pointed a finger at his chest "yeah you. You are her daddy"

"Daddy. That sounds so nice. Ok, how about Claire?"

"Claire Valentine Spigeal. I like that one very much"

The doctor instructed the nurse and she wrote in the name. Then she handed the little girl to her daddy who was impatiently waiting for the moment to hold his daughter "here's daddy" he took her "support her head Mr. Spigeal" he nodded not really listening to her, his attention only on his daughter.

She had dark hair like sujiro and was as light as faye "Hey about time you came into the world" she made a sound that was sweet to his ears. He proceeded to walk towards faye who watched with tears in her eyes how he was gentle and loving with their daughter "So mommy how do you feel?"

"Happy, exhausted, content...so many things" he leaned down handed the baby to her and put his hand in his pocket "is there anything else that can make you happier?" she was inspecting their daughter as the doctor and nurses watched them "what do you mean?" he brought out whatever object he had hidden in his pocket and let it hand over her head. She looked up and froze.

The nurses being women were gasping and smiling. Spike chuckled lightly "It seems I have left you speechless" she blinked a few times locking her eyes with his

"You are serious" she noted and he smiled.

"So what do you say Miss Valentine, will you marry me?" her tears sprang forth and he lowered the engagement right that was hanging by a blue string into her range "Faye?"

"Yes Spike, I will marry you" the other occupants in the room clapped and he captured her lips in his.

Life was finally looking up to them. They were finally going to be the family they should have been from the beginning. their shattered hearts forever mended.
