Chapter 9: In these arms…

Later and later it had gotten…Ed and Ein were the only ones in Faye's room. Spike and Jet were outside smoking. Ed's little eyes just focused on Faye.

"Do-Do you think she'll be okay Ein?" Ed asked him in a quiet voice. Ein just responded in a bark.

"Yeah I do to." She smiled and continued to watch Faye. The dieing sun finally went down and the bright sadden moon had risen to play.

"She'll be okay Spike…that's what the doc said." Jet had tried to ease Spike's mind. Spike was to worried to hear what Jet said.

Electra walked in the room. She saw how sad everyone looked, Spike on the other hand never looked up.

"How's she holding up?" she asked taking off her jacket. She took a empty seat that was next to Faye's bed. And talked to her.

"Faye…if you can hear me… This is Electra…I'm sorry we couldn't do anything." She looked at her poor limp body. She looked peaceful almost. 3 hours past and Faye still hadn't woke-up.

Back and forth doctors came in and out. Checking her blood pressure and every time they would come in Ed would hide Ein in the closet since she had snuck him in.

"Hey doc? How long will it take till she wakes-up?" asked Spike.

"Well, it could take days, week, even months. Will just leave this up to fate." He smiled and walked out.

Spike wasn't very happy with that answer. Ed fell asleep on the ground next to Spike. Spike looked at Ed then at Faye…we wondered about the kid.

What if…she could have it…would I be a good dad? Faye…she would be an awesome mom. I see so much for her. Why did she end up with a loser like me?

Ed yawned and scratched her head.Jet looked down at her and decided he would take her and Ein home.

He nudged Ed and woke her up…Ein as well. "You comin home soon Spike?" Jet asked. "Nah, I'll stay here incase she wakes-up." He never looked at him.

It was around 3:30a.m. and Electra had gone home. So all there was Spike and Faye. The hospital room was cold and quiet…the only sound that could be heard was Faye's respirator.

"Faye…I know you can hear me…listen I-I'm a jackass okay. You're right about everything. I am a coward and a punk. I had no right to slap you and call you worthless. See the thing is you're not worthless. Faye you bring so much drama and so much excitement in my life that I haven't felt since Julia. I'm sorry for everything that I have said and done to you. Why? Why is what I wanna know. Why did you take that bullet?" he put his head in hands again.

"T-To save you…" a voice came from in front of him. Faye lifted herself up. She tried not to move much. "Faye!" Spike dashed over to her. She was seeing everything around her. Spike had finally come into view.

"S-Spike…" He took her close in his arms. She looked into his eyes; they were the eyes that she saw in the darkness. Her eyes were happy but dim. She rubbed his arm lightly. Their skin tones matched exactly in the dim light. She didn't want to move from where she was. She felt safe for once. In Spike's arms she felt the world stop.

"Hey Faye…" he paused, Faye looked up at him. "Thanks." Faye smiled and fell asleep in his arms.

"You're not worthless." Spike kissed her head. Together dreams ran through their minds. The night carried them into a quiet slumber…

THE END
