"Even Roses Die"
Chapter 3: Shopping for the baby
A.N.: Jet's POV. Then Spike's. Then Faye's. Then Spike's Again.
Spike and Faye had left to go baby shopping. It had been 5 mths. since her injury and they found out the baby's gonna be a boy. That's a scary thought a little Spike running around the Bebop. I shuddered at the thought. Spike was gonna be a dad, I wonder what he did when he found out.
I knew from the way got sick everytime she smelled my special dinner I always cook. Pepper, onions, and beef. I laughed, I knew right then she was either sick or pregnant. Ed was playing video games. I guess I'll cook us breakfast since they decided to go out to eat. I went into the kitchen a began cooking...
~Spike's POV~
It doesn't take this long to go shopping does it? I mean all we were supposed to do was go shopping for baby clothes. I am so bored. Faye is looking at baby clothes while I just stand there looking at her expanded stomach. So, I have a family now. Annie always kidded me about that.
I felt myself start to doze off from boredom right when I was going into dreamland I felt a pain in my head. Then I realized somebody hit me in the head. I opened my eyes to see a woman who was about to hit me with her purse again.
" What did I do," I yelled as I ducked to avoid the swinging purse. " How dare you touch my ass," the woman yelled as Faye looked ready to kill me. " I didn't mean to honest I fell asleep! It's really boring tyo watch the woman that's pregnant with your baby shop," I yelled as the woman walked away huffing.
" Hmph," was all I heard come out of Faye as she walked off. I knew she was mad. She's so damn cute when she's mad. I ran off after her. " I swear I fell asleep," I said trying to calm her down. " Why don't you go get the crib," Faye asked finally calming down.
" All right," I said that's easy enough. Find a crib and bring it back. I walked off and saw the same woman walk upto Faye and they started talking and laughing. I found a crib and came back.
I had a pretty good idea on what was going on. I fell asleep and Faye asked that woman to hit me a bunch of times. That bitch, she knows that I hate being woke-up. Anyways, I put the crib at the bottom of the cart as the woman walked off.
" Nice job. I think we should find some baby shoes and go," Faye said as she pushed the cart towards the shoe section. Here we go again. I hope dreamland welcomes me.
~ Faye's POV~
He is so lame, really falling asleep when we have to get OUR son some clothes. The nerve of Spike sometimes. I am so angry at him. At least he got a beautiful crib. It was solid oak and it was polished. It was gorgeous. Only the best for our son.
We started to walk towards the shoe isle. I know what he's thinking. He thinks he's gonna go to sleep again. I won't allow it, he needs to help. He helped created the damn kid. Finally, we made it to shoe isle. Spike rushed past me and began looking at me. I knew he was in a hurry because he was intent on getting out of here.
Spike threw three boxes of shoes in the cart and ran off to the check out. I walked to the check out and found Spike waiting in line. " What took you so long," Spike asked me. " I'm pregnant so I'm not gonna be as fast as a cheetah you moron," I said rolling my eyes.
Spike kissed my cheek and ran off. What is he doing? I asked myself that over and over again, but I couldn't come up with anything. He later came back stuffing a small bag into his pocket. I arched an eyebrow as the clerk rang up the items. " That's $287.89," the cashier said as I handed him three one hundred dollar bills.
The cashier gave me my change back and Spike put the bags in the cart and we walked to the newest addition to our transportation. The Striker Fox. This baby can hold moe cargo than an army carrier and goes a hell of alot faster too. Spike loaded all of the stuff into the cargo area. We walked to the front. I sat down in the passenger's seat and Spike got into the driver's seat. He started the engine and we were off!
I was glad to be going home. I am really tired and whatever Spike bought wasn't helping...
~Spike's POV~
I drove off away from the shopping area towards the Bebop. Faye looked really tired. I could tell. So, that's what happens to a woman when she gets pregnant. There's 3 stages to women. 1. beautiful, 2. sexy, and 3. major bitches during PMS and pregnancy. Faye had all those qualities without PMS and pregnancy.
She finally fell asleep. I knew she would that kid wears her out. I smirked the baby was gonna be just like me. I remember something Viscious told me when we had our second assignment together. We were in a bar and this guy was really bothering me. I don't know how long it took me to stop laughing, but it was too damn funny.
" Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that motherfucker upside the head," Viscious told me and I started laughing. I dunno if it was THAT funny or if I was getting drunk from the martini's we kept on drinking.
I parked in th Bebop I unloaded the stuff as Faye went to bed. God, I love that woman. I remembered the bag taht was in my pocket. I took a small blue velvet box out of the bag and opened it. I looked at the diamond ring staring at me. " I ask her soon. Real soon," I said to the diamond as I closed it up, hid it, walked to Faye's room, climbed into her bed with her, and fell asleep....
