The Past Returns: Chapter Nine
After the death of his best friend, Spike had gone into depression but followed Shin's advice and decided to return to what he had left behind, Faye. He figured they were still on Venus and flew back in that direction. He was now walking back to the Bebop and just hoped that his confrontation with her was better than the last.
*FLASHBACK*
"So why don't you return to your plan of vengeance against Vicious. Oh, and just to keep your conscious at ease me and my child do not need anything from you. I have Jet heck even Ed and Ein to get me through this".
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"True you may not need me but I sure know that I need you". He finally made it onboard the Bebop and was now in the living room when he felt something tug on his pants and realized it was Ein. "Where's everyone?" Ein barked and walked off into the kitchen while Spike peered though the crack of the door, everyone sat around the table.
"What?" Faye questioned as she realized Jet had been staring at her in amazement.
"Are you going to want another helping after your second or third, I lost track. For the past few months I never had to cook so much and fetch a woman's orders of what she wants to eat, especially when you get those midnight cravings. For example, when was it . . . sometime last week you had a craving for strawberry ice cream and made me go out and buy some at 2:30 in the morning! All I have to say is thank goodness you're eight months along, I personally don't know how I survived this long".
Faye stood up for her chair. "Oh come now Jet it hasn't been that bad. Look at it this way at least you aren't the woman". He ignored her and started to put the plates away. "Oh Jet come feel this! The baby is kicking again".
"No thanks I already have felt it one too many times".
"Edward wants to feel Faye Faye's baby kick pleeeaassseeee. Ed promises to be gentle".
"Okay why not", she grabbed one of Ed's hand and gently placed it on her swollen stomach.
"Wow!" Ed exclaimed and that made Faye smile.
Spike who still stood behind the kitchen door took this time to absorb her features. She was wearing a white short shelve shirt and black overalls. Since she was a small boned person it was only natural she looked is she were only six months pregnant instead of looking like most women who were that far along, like a balloon. That smile she had made her glow even more attractive.
"Hehe, cool Faye Faye. Ed thinks that baby is healthy".
"Well he should be considering the junk and amount that she eats", Jet added.
"I think she looks even more beautiful", Spike said deciding to make himself noticeable. All three looked up shocked and speechless.
"YAY, Spike person is back! Ed is soooooo happy now". She then started to act like a plane with her arms up and pretending to fly around the kitchen. "Guess what Spike person there's a surprise you haven't heard of yet and Ed is going to tell you. When was it about . . . a month ago Faye Faye went to the doctor and found out she's going to have a -" At this point Faye decided to close her mouth.
"What are you doing here Spike?" Jet asked coldly.
"Mind if I sit down?"
"I was just about to leave anyway", Faye said and quickly left the kitchen.
"Me too, Ed is going to bed. Come on Ein".
"You haven't answered my question".
"Jet I just went though a hard time. I don't need this right now". He told him everything that had happened.
"I'm really sorry about Shin".
"Yeah? Well I'm really sorry about leaving. So how has she been?" he asked as he took out a cigarette to his mouth and lid it with his lighter.
Jet took out Spike's cigarette and stomped it on the floor. "This is a no smoking ship now. Anyway the first month was hard for her after you left. Faye cried all the time and did nothing but stay in her bedroom. I finally got her to go to the doctor; there she was given her first ultrasound and things changed. I guess after seeing the life that depended on her, she returned to her old self; probably decided to move on. Of course with the help of uncle Jet", he said proudly.
"Thanks Jet for being there when she needed someone the most".
"While you were gone I've gotten close to Faye to consider her my friend, can you believe that? Who would have guessed? I know for a fact that she still loves you and if you want her back I suggest you go for it".
"Thanks again but it's late and I don't want to wake her. I'll talk to her first thing in the morning". Spike proceeded to his bedroom however; he found it to be a nursery. The walls were painted baby blue, the hard floor was now replaced with baby blue carpet, two dressers that were probably filled with baby clothes, a white rocking chair that had been placed at the corner of the room, and a white crib placed against a wall, last but not least white shelves with stuff animals that were racing cars, footballs, basketballs, and baseballs. It had all made sense what Ed was trying to tell him before her mouth was covered, it was no doubt that Faye was expecting a boy. He saw a light coming from her bedroom so he closed the door to the nursery.
Faye was going to close her door when a foot had stopped it, she looked up.
"Can I come in?" he asked. "We need to talk".
"I have nothing to say to you besides, I'm tired and want to go to bed".
"No Faye we need to talk now. Just hear me out for ten minutes then if you want me to leave I'll go". Noticing he had her attention he stepped into her room and continued. "I know I acted like a stubborn jerk and only thought about myself, I sorry. Things didn't go so well with Shin and some sense got knocked into me so, I returned to the one person who means so much to me". He retold the story to her. "You know when people say `you don't know what you have until you loose it'?" It's true because I have suffered by it. I love you Faye and I need you two in my life", he said as he rested one hand upon her stomach. He leaned down and kissed her. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones she was feeling but it didn't matter because Faye had forgiven Spike.
About two weeks later things were better between the two. Spike had taken over Jet's job in tending to Faye's needs and on the other hand Jet finally got some rest. The two had gone out to a bakery due to her craving chocolate cake and were now heading back.
"Seriously Faye, how much will you eat? You're twice as worse as before".
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Uh, I'm afraid to answer that question".
As the two now approached the Bebop that realized the lights were out, which meant Jet and the rest were out, and about twenty men were waiting outside. "Are you Spike Spiegel?" one of them asked.
"Who wants to know?"
"I have orders from Vicious to bring you back alive and harmed if necessary".
Faye backed slightly away from Spike and it was then that he hook kicked two men and manages to wound three others by shooting them. One guy came unexpecting behind Faye and pulled her to him.
"Surrender and drop your weapon Spiegel or else I'll be force to do some damage", he said and pointed a knife to her stomach.
"You're not going to let him get away with that, right Faye?"
"Of course not", she elbowed him hard in the ribs which caused him to loose his grip on her and taking this opportunity she punched him away. She reached down and snatched a staff away from one of the unconscious men that were already lying on the ground and was ready to strike anyone who came her way. She saw one man coming at her with a club in his hand and blocked the strike, then she kicked him in the knees and brought the staff to his ribs and head, down he went. Faye felt a sharp pain shoot through her stomach, none that she ever experienced before. She cringed at the pain but continued to fight. At the same time Spike was fighting off as much men as he could but kept an eye on Faye at the same time.
Out of nowhere multiple shots were heard. All turned around and saw Jet holding two rifles. "Anyone care to try me?" he asked. The few men that were left ran away.
Devoting his attention to Faye who was now holding onto her stomach with one hand as the other was holding onto the Bebop for support. Spike ran over to her. "What's wrong?"
"M - My water just broke".
