" Even Roses Die"

Chapter 4: The newest member to the Bebop crew
A.N.: This is told in Jet's POV and then Spike's. Oh yeah SHORT chapter!


~Jet's POV~

Faye and Spike were still asleep. It's amazing at how many months it's been since we found out she was pregnant. She was due anytime now. I packed mine and Ed's things up because I was taking her to go see the place where she used to stay before living here with us.

I always knew there was something going on between them two. I just didn't want to ask them 'cause I know they'll start yelling and I'll get those damn migrains again. That was the last thing I needed and wanted. As soon as i loaded our stuff, we were off. Little did I know what events would occur while we were gone...........

~Spike's POV~

I woke up for a good few minutes to hear the dock doors open. Jet and Ed finally left. I closed my eyes and fell asleep again. I never expected to be woken up an hour later when Faye's water broke.

She was screaming and I nearly screamed with her. She was in pain and I sure as hell didn't know how to help. I was pacing around the room looking for something to get up all the fluids that were draining out. I felt like puking.

I picked up my shirt and used it to get the fluids up. just then Faye grabbed my shoulder so tightly that it hurt. " Let go Faye that hurts," I yelled trying to break away. " Jesus Spike! I'm having a baby and all you care about is your fucking arm," Faye yelled as she let go of my arm and screamed out in pain again.

" Okay.. Um.. Faye just breathe. Okay breathe," I said as I removed her underwear that was soaked. " Damn," was all I said as I tossed it aside and tried to figure out what to do next. " Spike! Help," Faye yelled as I jolted up. " I have no idea on what to do," I yelled pacing around the room trying to think.

" SPIKE! DAMN YOU FOR GETTING ME PREGNANT," Faye yelled in a demonic sounding voice that would even make Viscious hide in fear. " All right Faye just calm down. And push," I said calmly as Faye started to calm down, breathed, and pushed. " Good and again," I said as Faye did that over and over again. Then I saw something come out and my eyes went bug-eyed.

" What the hell is that," I asked yelling as I stared at it. " What the hell is what," Faye asked me. " I think it's the head. Okay you're doing good I guess. Um. Breathe and push again," I said as Faye did as I told her to do and the head came out. " Yep, it's the head. Okay doing good Faye. Again," I instructed as Faye breathed and pushed.

After an hour of me instructing her and Faye pushing the baby finally came out. " Great job," I said feeling sick to my stomach to all the images I saw. I wanted to faint. " What do you wanna name him Spike," Faye asked me as I called a doctor who could come to the Bebop. I didn't want to leave and Jet and Ed be out looking for us.

I think that's the last thing Jet wants. " I dunno. How about Michael Hiead," I asked her and she gave me a disgusted look. " Guess not. You're turn," I said looking at her and looking out for the doctor. " Hmm.... How about Spike Jr.," Faye asked me as I looked out the window. " Neh. There's only room for one Spike," I said smiling.

" All right. How about Vincent Deshawn," Faye saud to me, it had a nice ring to it. Then I remembered the engagement ring I bought. " Hmm... Let me try it out. Vincent Deshawn Speigal. I like it," I yelled as Faye smiled.

I looked out the window again and spotted the a ship heading towards the Bebop. I went to the lounge and communicted with the ship. It was the doctor. After the doctor made me cut the umbilical cord, he left after giving Faye some medicine, weighing and measuring Vincent, and gave Faye one stitch that would desolve after her wound healed.

3 days later Jet and Ed came back. They were excited about Vincent Deshawn. Especially, Ed. She had someone to play with. I'd be damned if she teaches him how to act like her. I'd have to shoot myself. Faye decided not to breast feed, she said he caused her enough pain she didn't want him to cause more.

So, Vincent Deshawn you're in mine and Faye's world. So, I welcome you. It's funny, I'm listening to "Arms Wide Open" by Creed on the radio and I feel just like that guy. I'll show you everything Vincent. With arms wide open.............
The End of Chapter 4.
Summary of chapter 5: Vincent Deshawn is only 3 months old and is getting all kinds of attention. And Spike gets a phone call from his brother?! Keep reading to find out.
A.N. again: Did you guys enjoy? I hope this was a bit funny and a bit detailed. I'm sorry about my sister's over reaction to some of your complaints. I'm trying! I hope to have Chapter 5 up sooner than this one. Thanks alot!
