          Spike's eyes widened and he gripped onto the door rest as Faye skidded around the bend and headed back towards their cabin. "Try to keep us alive, will you?" He growled

          Faye gritted her teeth and released the gas petal and sided towards the driveway. "I'm…trying!" Faye hissed. "Never mind what I said before, you can drive from now on…" Faye mumbled braking.

          Spike sighed and undid his seatbelt. "I can get the food in myself; you can relax for a little bit if you want…"

          Faye nodded and pulled the handle under her seat opening the trunk. Shakily she stood and stumbled over grabbing a bag filled with her bubble bath she'd grabbed at the last second. Spike rolled his eyes as he grabbed three paper bags filled with food. "Well, if you were going to do that, you could have at least taken this bag too…" He grimaced, as she held the door open for him.

          Faye tugged him by his jacket and leaned in towards his ear. "Is he watching us now?" Spike blinked and made sure to pause long enough to make her words convincing, whether he was here or not yet, they couldn't afford to mess up.

          He smiled and bowed down talking into her ear, his voice was barely above a whisper. "I don't know, but if you want to keep ourselves alive, keep your mouth shut, from now on, we're a married couple on our honeymoon, so no more, is he watching us crap, got it?" He leaned into her frame before pulling back and brushing his nose against hers. His eyes widened a bit and he flinched in pain.

          "Watch it…" Faye mumbled. She bowed her head, hiding her flushed cheeks. "The last thing you need is to hurt your nose more sweetheart." Faye sneered, doing a little curtsy as she looked around content.

          Spike rolled his eyes again nodding towards her as he threw the food bags onto the kitchen counters. He looked outside as it began to snow and smirked a little. "Faye, get your snowsuit on!" Spike called as he grabbed a beanie, and tossed it on his head with a pear of matching leather gloves.

          Faye poked her head out of the master bedroom and looked at him oddly. "What for?" she questioned.

          "You said you've never been in the snow before, so hurry up, tomorrow there'll be five of the stuff and it'll be as slick as ice, trust me, you won't want to play in that when you're so close to a mountain edge…" Spike wrinkled his nose together and hurried to the back of the car and pulled out a long, blue plastic sled. Smiling he placed it on the porch and waited for Faye to come outside.

++++++

          Faye closed her eyes and flopped down onto her soft bed. Removing her glove from her left hand, Faye reached over to the bed stand and grabbed the two rings and slipped them on her wedding finger. Rising her hand into the air, Faye looked up at the two rings, a small blush formed on her cheeks. "If only for a weekend, I'm his…" She whispered.

++++++

         The door slowly opened and Faye walked out in a puffy green snow coat, and black snow pants. She was wearing that hat again, this time it was on the right way, and her black gloves from before. Spike smiled as her eyes landed on the sled, and she looked up at him with a bright smile on her face and quickly bent down and grabbed it. "We're going sledding?" Faye's eyes sparkled in delight.

          Spike smiled, he was glad she liked the idea. "Consider it thanks for fixing my nose last night." He coughed and waited for Faye to join him. "Come on, I already know a good spot." He smiled and pointed past the trees that lined the property.

          It was a gap, a large space for sledding, with a great hill. At the bottom it flattened out and gave you enough time to stop before heading back into the trees. Faye hurriedly reached the top of the hill and waited for Spike to catch up. He was right behind and tossed a snow ball at her leg.

          She wrinkled her nose together. "What was that for?" She asked setting the sled down. Spike smiled, a coy grin sporting his tanned face.

          "Just for fun," he mused and aimed the sled down the hill. "You want the front, or do you want to sit in the back." Faye blinked and down looked the hill.

          "Can I sit in back?" She kicked a bit of snow down and swallowed. Her stomach was getting a knot in it.

          "Nope," he mumbled. Faye looked at him with a panicked face. "Just kidding…" He laughed. Taking a seat in front Spike waited for Faye to get in. Coiling herself together she grimaced and shook her head.

          "I can't fit…" She mumbled.

          Spike smiled, and shook his head. "Straighten your legs out and wrap them around my waist." He swallowed and she did so and clung to him tightly. Taking hold of her arms he tugged them around his chest so that her head was resting on his shoulder. "Hang on tight…" He smirked.

          Faye swallowed and closed her eyes as Spike used his front legs to push them off. Faye screamed as they sped down the steep hill. Spike laughed, before they spun out and capsized. Faye went flying, and rolled down next to a tree while Spike was sent down with the sled tumbling on top of him. "That…"

          "…was fun." He finished her words and sat up shaking his head. "You want to go down by yourself—" She threw a snowball into his face. Spike was silent as it slipped down the side of his head.

          "I get the front." She winked and grabbed the sled as she stood, and started to run up the hill. Spike's eyes narrowed and he rolled up a big snow ball and whacked her in the back of the head with it. His eyes widened as she fell down face first into the snow.

          He blinked. "Faye," she didn't move. He stood and slowly walked over to her. "Faye, quit joking around, it's not funny." He narrowed his eyes and poked at her butt with his boot. She didn't budge. Getting worried he knelt down and turned her over. "Faye—" he met up face to face with a fist full of snow as Faye shoved a bunch into his face. Laughing she ran away, and turned back sticking her tongue out at him.

         "You shouldn't scare people like that!" He growled and jumped up after her. They both laughed. Spike tossed another snow ball at Faye's back and she screamed out before tripping accidentally. Spike laughed and jumped at her falling down by her side. "Got you this time!" he punched her in the side lightly and they both laughed, rolling onto their backs. He sat up and brushed the snow away from her cheeks.

          She closed her eyes and smiled. "I'm crying…" She smirked and opened her eyes to meet his gaze.

          Spike blinked and stood up taking the sled. "Come on, we'll go down one more time, this time you can get the front too." Faye pierced her lips together. She hadn't had this much fun in a long while.

          "Only one more time?" she whined. Spike smiled, turning back to her.

          "You'll get sick; your lips are already blue." He poked at her mouth with his gloved finger.

          Pulling away Faye nodded regrettably. "Yeah, yeah…you're making the hot chocolate when we get in though." She sneered.

          Spike smirked and nodded his head. "Fine with me."

R+R PLEASE!
