Tears are Fallen Rose Petals
- Chapter 7-
Cowboy Funk 2… Part 2?
Spike stood at the grave as they lowered his father into the ground, next to his mother's grave. He held back tears as Vicious and a few of his friends, his father's friends, and the doctor stood behind him. "Bye dad…" Spike could barely speak. 'Hope you're at rest with mom…' He thought as a gust of wind blew, like a response to his thought.
"Ready to go?" Vicious asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Spike murmured placing two single read and white in the middle of his father and mother's names.
"You staying at my place tonight?" Vicious glanced over to Spike slightly his white hair blowing gingerly in the light breeze.
"Hmm… Yeah, I still have to pack some of my stuff first."
"It's gonna be tuff at first, but your parents said in their will that you are to live with your uncle… Or me." Vicious smiled slightly. "In a way you really are like a brother now." Spike looked over at him as stray tears fell down his cheeks. Vicious stopped in his tracks frowning.
"Aw… I'm sorry man." Vicious hugged Spike again. "I'm gonna miss him too. Your dad was the coolest…
---------------
Spike thought about turning around as they reached the gate. He wanted to but Faye just took his hand and held it tightly. "I didn't get crammed in that ship of yours for nothing." Faye winked her eye. Spike smiled slightly noticing something in her hand.
"What's that?" Spike stretched his head towards her to take a closer look.
"They're the roses you gave me. You said an angel gave them to you to give to me… So I thought it would be appropriate to leave at the grave.
Spike's eyes softened and he took a step past the gate and walked down the gravel path to a row of graves. He frowned when he saw the graves. Weeds growing around it like no one had taken care of it in such a long time. Faye knelt down and started pulling them away. Spike's heart seemed to stop. "Faye…"
"It's not right to just leave it like this." She smiled looking at the grave.
'This is Faye guys… Julia… Julia isn't around any more. You probably know that though. I've fallen for this one dad. What do you think?' Spike sighed. 'I'm sorry I haven't been back in such a long time. I could have so many times, but until today. Until Faye talked me into it, I haven't been able to for some reason. I'm sorry for that.'
"There…" Faye stood up dusting the dirt off of her jean shorts.
"Hmm…" Spike nodded as she placed the roses onto of the grave. Spike wrapped his arm around Faye and she rested her head on his shoulder.
-------------
Vicious stood at the gate to the grave yard. "Spike…" He uttered under his breath. 'I'm not that cruel to come and get you now… But as for my men. They don't care.' Vicious smiled. "Get him."
Waters hesitated, but complied. "You heard him, let's mover it. Don't disturb and of the graves if you can help it!"
'Hey Mr. and Mrs. Spiegal… Sorry I have to do this.' Vicious sighed a small smirk appearing on his face. 'Guess you shouldn't have had my parents take him. Look how it turned out...' He chuckled slightly as his bird flew onto his shoulder.
--------------
"Ready to go?" Spike looked down at Faye and she nodded.
"Sure." There was a sudden gun fire and in reaction Faye and Spike fell to the ground and drew out their guns.
"What now?!" Spike groaned. 'Oh yeah, I haven't had the best of luck either… It'd help if I had a guardian angel or two… For Faye and me, maybe it's always been you two keeping me alive…I don't know, you don't have to though…' There was a slight breeze that blew like before when he was still a kid…
"It's Vicious's guys." Faye glared looking up at an angle.
"Great…" Spike sighed. "Listen," Spike looked over to a small brick wall and a patch of some bushes that seemed clear of danger. "I'll distract their attention, you run as fast as you can to the bushes and back over that wall. If I'm not back in ten minutes," Spike looked at her as her eyes went cold and dark.
"You'll be back." She said flatly. "I'll bring the swordfish and pick you up."
"Faye…" He said disagreeably.
"Spike!" She screamed and another built came flying taking a piece of Faye's hair with it.
"Faye, go!" Spike pushed her firing his gun and taking down two of the men. 'Please… Don't you die too.'
Faye let the tears fall from her eyes as she ran and in one leap made it over the wall. 'I won't let him die, he can't, he just can't die on me not now!' Hot tears blurred Faye's sight as she ran blindly to the ship thankfully unnoticed.
-------------
Spike flinched as a built hit him in the arm and he fell back. 'Weren't you guys going to protect me? Oh wait, forgot you let me almost die…' Spike smiled slightly. 'Thanks dad… I know that's got to be you.'
"Spike!" Faye screamed into a microphone and her voice seemed to echo through the atmosphere.
"Damn it Faye…" She hovered over the ground and builts came screaming at her. She opened the hatch firing her gun and hitting a gun and saw Vicious off in the distance smiling happily.
"Get in!" She screamed. Spike fired again and hopped in quickly landing on a metal bolt and flinching in pain.
"Are you hurt?" Faye looked over quickly as she flew off safely.
"They hit my arm, but I should be alright." He smiled. "Stupid, I told to you stay away.
"All because you say that, doesn't mean I'm going to listen to you." Faye suddenly felt a wave of nausea and held her stomach. "I… Feel like I'm going to be sick…" She winced.
"Faye?" Spike moved slightly. "Faye, what's wrong?" Spike hurriedly scotched over to her side.
"I… I don't feel good." She groaned dry heaving.
"Faye, hold on. We'll be back in a minute." Spike frowned and took over the controls and she fell to the ground holding her stomach.
----------------
"Uh…" Faye moaned spitting into the toilet. "Spike…" She mumbled.
Spike came in quickly with some medicine. "Here, take this." He gave her a small cup of a pink liquid, and she drank it down quickly. "Call me if you need anything else okay?" Spike ran a hand through her hair.
"Uhh huh.." She burped pushing him out. 'Don't let this be what I think it is…' Faye opened the cabinet in her bathroom and took a small little box out and red the directions.
--------------
Faye looked at the clock as it rang. 'Please, I'm not…' She looked at the box… 'I'm pregnant…'
"Faye, are you feeling better?" Spike knocked on the door as Jet finished up bandaging his arm.
"Yeah, I'll be out in a second…" Faye bit her bottom lip. 'How can I tell him? I doubt he'll want to have a baby…' Faye took a deep breath and shoved the box into the bottom of the trash can and covered it up. 'I'll tell him later tonight…'
"Spike, be more careful next time…" Jet mumbled as he put the tape on the gauze.
"Yeah, yeah; no big deal, I'm still alive aren't I?" Spike chuckled.
"Hmm… Listen, you want to stay here and I'll go make the arrangements?" Jet looked at Spike.
"What, no I'll do it." Spike sighed.
"I'll come with you, I need some fresh air." She smiled slightly. 'It'll give me a chance to tell you.'
"Can Ed go?" Ed jumped up.
"Ye—"
"No…" Faye interrupted. Everyone looked at her.
"Faye?" Spike looked at her.
"Err…" She whispered into his ear. "Spike I need to talk to you, alright?" Faye pulled away. Spike looked at her in question, but nodded.
"Faye's been sick Ed, you don't want her throwing up on you, now do you?"
"Ewwie!"
"Thank you…" She mouthed grabbing her purse.
--------------
"What did you want to tell me?" Spike wrapped his uninjured arm around Faye kissing her lightly on the cheek.
'Okay… Here goes nothing.' Faye bit her lip. "What would you do if I was pregnant?" Faye said flatly.
Spike looked at her strangely. "That was random… Why do you need to know that?"
"It's just one of those things every girl asks someone they love." Faye smiled.
"Oh… Umm, well." Spike thought about this for a moment. "At this very moment?" He looked down at her and she nodded.
"At this very moment."
"What else could I do, I'd get a good job to make money, get you to a doctor and get some place for us to live." Spike smiled kissing her again. Faye smiled nodding her head.
"Hmm…" Faye nodded her head with a slight smile on her face. "In trough you would really do that?" Faye didn't want to take any chances.
"I, yes I would do that in a heart beat. I would do anything to keep my family safe." Spike looked concerned but then seemed completely sincere with Faye. He winced in pain as he tried to move his arm.
"Okay, come on let's get you to a hospital." Faye leaned closed her eyes content with the situation at the moment.
'She seems happier then what she has been, especially for a person who was just throwing up…' Spike cringed at the thought. 'I guess I shouldn't be worrying to much, we were crammed pretty tight in the swordfish.' Spike nodded as Faye waved for a Taxi.
"Faye I'm fine, it just hurts—"
"Shh! I'm not taking any chances with you anymore." Faye hissed. Spike stepped back a few feet and then nodded in defeat.
"Uhh… Fine."
----------------
"Andy?!" Faye and Spike shouted as they entered the hospital.
"You?!" Andy's mouth dropped as he pointed an accusing finger at them. "What the hell are you here for?" He glared.
"You're one to talk, why are you here?!" Spike pointed at his arm soaked in blood.
"I," Andy paused in shame blushing. "it's a side job…" He looked up noticing Faye and smiled. "Why is this lovely young woman with you?" He took her hand kissing it gingerly.
"Oh, Spike didn't tell you?" Faye talked in a high pitched voice as she snuggled up to him. "We're getting married soon!" She smiled brightly closing her eyes as she leaned into Spike. 'Get off my hand leech!' She screamed in her mind barely able to hold her compositor.
"Ha, a fine lady like you marring… HIM?!" Andy could have died from laughter.
"At least I don't work at Samurai Bakery!" Spike and Faye laughed loudly their voices echoing through the hospital.
"Damn you Spike!" He shouted aiming a fist at Spike, but he dodged it quickly pushing Faye out of the way.
"Andy?" Faye smiled waving ever so slightly as she batted her eye lashes. "Isn't it a little unfair to fight an injured man over something so stupid? Besides, I don't think you can throw a fist fight in a hospital." Faye smiled walking back over to Spike. "I'll go sign you in baby." She smiled kissing him full on the lips just to add more effect.
"Hmmm…" Spike smiled as he floated on cloud nine. "Whatever you want." He fallowed her small frame as she went over to a desk not far from him.
"I guess she's right, I don't need to loose this job anyways." Andy sighed taking his bucket and mop and walking off. "This fight isn't settled Spike Spiegal!" He shouted walking down a long narrow hallway.
'How does he remember my last name?!' Spike glared at Andy as he disappeared from sight. He then glanced back over to Faye smiling as he raised his hand to his lips.
-----------------
"Yes, Spike Spiegal. Umm…" Faye paused for a moment putting her hand to her stomach. "I was wondering. While he's in getting his arm tended to," She paused again. "I'm pregnant, and was wondering if I could have everything checked out to make sure the babies healthy before I tell him." She pointed back to Spike who just waved with a smile on his face.
"Sure." The woman smiled looking in the distance at the tall handsome looking man. "I just need your name miss."
"Faye… Spiegal." The woman smiled nodding her head.
"Good luck on telling him. I'm sure he'll be happy." Faye smiled lightly.
"Don't worry about it I've had to tell my husband three times. It's not really that hard, just have to pick the right moment." The woman looked over at Spike again.
"Thanks." Faye smiled again.
"I'll call you a few minutes after your husband goes into see Dr. Gatomie."
"Alright, thank you." Faye nodded her head agreeable and went over to Spike until their names were called.
------------------
"Damn it! Where the hell are they?!" Vicious shouted slamming his fist into a nearby wall.
"We're working on finding that out sir. We should know in a little bit." Waters backed away from Vicious slightly.
"Waters…" Vicious growled. "You go get the team and find them now, or I'll make sure you never see the light of day again!" Vicious almost screamed drawing his blade and places the end against Waters neck.
"Ye… Yes sir." Waters said, his voice quivering as beads of sweat ran down his tanned face. "I'll find them as soon as possible."
"Bring me Faye. It's the one thing that will bring Spike after me now." Vicious's clouded eyes gleamed in the little light there was. His body grew tense with anger, as he trusted his sword at a wall causing a large crack to form.
