Chapter 2: Big Surprises


The morning was just like any other morning. Faye was eating breakfast, cereal with orange juice, and reading a romance novel. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail, wisps of violet hair fell over her prominent forehead. She looked like a normal woman eating an abnormal breakfast.

Then came the first surprise. Her stomach jolted, her hand flew to her mouth, and her feet dashed to the bathroom door.

Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand she gawked at the toilet filled with disgusting bile. She flushed the toilet and stood up to look at herself in the mirror. Her first reaction was panic. She wasn't a dope, she knew there was a chance she could be...

"Oh my God." Faye touched her stomach lightly. She knew it was too soon to feel the baby kicking. She shook her head. What was she thinking? She didn't even know if she was...

With his...

Baby...

She crumbled to the floor. And sobbed.


Faye knew she had to get a job. Especially since she was pregnant. She had thought of taking up bounty hunting again, but quickly rethought the idea. It was too dangerous, not to mention cheap. She almost thought of crying again, but stopped herself. She was a strong woman and she could take care of this child. She promised it. That reminded her. She had to see a doctor. If there was something wrong with her baby...

Faye didn't know when she had become attached to the living being inside of her. It had almost happened over night. When Faye was sleeping she had a strange dream. A black stag stood in front of her as if he knew her. And that was all.

Faye knew that this was typical. Women were supposed to dream a lot while they were pregnant. The funny thing was that she could remember being told how you could tell if it was a boy or a girl. She knew that if she dreamed of an animal it would be a boy and if she dreamed of fruit it would be a girl. She laughed at the idea. A boy? She didn't know what she would do if it were a boy.

That was when the second surprise happened. She saw him. Spike Spiegel.
