Prologue: More in the Family

It was true…syndicates couldn't be broken.

The Red Dragons fate was mercifully spared. Few knew who was to thank, but many took to heart the story of Spike Spiegel who returned to bring power back to the Red Dragons.

Not everyone could still be trusted. If there were those alive still loyal to Vicious, then Spike would have to watch his back. Sam was his closest trustee with that 'always loyal' spark. He could convince the entire Syndicate to put their fate in Spike. There was no more Julia, no more Vicious. But was Spike happy about this?

Sam wondered about this one day when he came into Spike's office. His mind was not on his Syndicate work…it never was. Whenever he saw him he was taking a smoke, that equaled to Spike's mind wandering off about something.

"Still thinking about them?" asked Sam.

"Just one of them," Spike muffled.

"Everyone here has given up everything to be here, just like you. Like myself. I remember having a family. I don't remember much about them anymore."

"I didn't lose a family…," said Spike as he put out his cigarette. "I thought I would find them here. I hate being wrong about everything…"

For the fifth time that day Faye rushed to the latrine to disperse the contents of her stomach. Nothing ever felt right after she left the hospital. Or maybe the pain was finally catching up to her after that battle. It was the strangest thing in the world being back on the Bebop. Not because she hadn't been here in a while, but it was weird, like she said, to have the crew back together again…minus one member.

"JET-PERSON! FAYE-FAYE THREW UP AGAIN!!!"

She never said, however, that anything good came out of being reunited.

Jet stood over the kneeling and sickly Faye. "ARGH! Didn't those doctors do anything!"

Ed and Ein wanted to peek into the latrine, but both Jet and Faye pushed them out of the way.

"I think…I…need to go to the…hospital…again," Faye said before she vomited again.

"Uh-uh. I took the liberty of paying your first hospital bill, which was already too expensive. I'm not giving you anymore freebies until we have another bounty opportunity.

"UGH! JET! I'M SERIOUS! I GOTTA GO BACK!!!" She turned around and started grabbing onto Jet's shirt. "PLEASE!!!!!!!"

"OK, OK. ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! JUST PLEASE DON'T THROW ON ME. I'LL GET YA TO A HOSPITAL."

For a long and devastating hour Jet and Ed lounged in the hospital waiting room.

"Ugh, women are to sickly," Jet said with a sigh.

"Ed not sick."

"Did I ask you to come?"

"…Yes."

Just as he thought that he couldn't go another second without a smoke of his own. A nice attractive blond doctor lady came out of Faye's room to meet Jet.

"Are you the one who brought Faye Valentine in?"

"Yes," said Jet. "And how much is it gonna cost this time?"

"Alot, and I expect it to triple on future visits"

Jet jumped up at the two words. "FUTURE VISITS?!!! WHAT FUTURE VISITS?!!!"

The doctor explained it to Jet. Ed was running up and down the halls ignoring what was going on, until she saw Jet storm past the doctor and straight into Faye's room. Ed quickly followed him in.

What she didn't see or expect was the shock on Jet's face as he confronted Faye with one question…

"So, Faye?! When exactly were you planning to tell us that you're pregnant?!!!"

End of Prologue with a DUN-DUN-DUN!!! R/R!
