Welcome to Bebop: "Babysitting"- Chapter 2
"Woo!!! Hacking! Hacking! Is so fun!!!" Ed smiled and giggled with glee as she waved her arms in the air and starts hacking. Faye walked into the lounge room and blinked at Ed. She then took a deep sigh and lied on the sofa
"So... Bored..." She moaned quietly. "Hey Ed. Where's Spike?" Faye asked as she sat up on the sofa.
"Spike-person is going to hunt bounty!!" answered Ed as she tilts her head left and right, with Ein sitting and panting beside her. Faye moaned and lied down again. The main entrance of the ship opened as Spike walked into the lounge room, pretending he's not hiding anything.
"It's about time! Have you realised how long it takes you to get here?!" Spike rolled his eyes and ignores Faye as he made his way to the bathroom. Faye stared at the ceiling and asked without looking at Spike "Did you get the bounty?" Spike opened his mouth to answer, but a loud cry escaped from the baby's mouth.
"What was... That?" Faye asked in shock
"Oooooohhhh.... Sounds like a cuddly-wuddly baby!" giggled Ed as she runs towards Spike, with her arms stretched out like the wings of an aeroplane. Spike froze in his current position and starts to feel uneasy.
"It's not a baby!" Spike lied. The baby cried even louder, causing everyone to block their ears.
"What the hell is going on?!" Jet yelled from above the lounge room. Unsure if it's all right to unblock their ears, Faye was the first one to unblock hers. She glared at Spike, causing him to sweatdrop.
"Spike... WHY ON EARTH DID YOU BRING A BABY IN THE SHIP?!" She yelled in anger, making the baby upset even more. Blocking their precious ears once again and hoping the baby would stop. Spike ignored Faye's question and tries to soothe the baby as he removes his coat in shame.
"A baby?!" Jet yelled in surprised and quickly set the ship to fly towards Mars. He runs towards the lounge room and sees Spike holding an upset baby.
"Spike... Who would've thought you had a kid..." Jet grinned as he strokes his short beard.
"It's not mine," gritted Spike "it's the bounty's..." Loud gasps filled the Bebop's wary atmosphere. A second of thoughts, Spike immediately turned pink in the cheeks. "NO! Not like that!" With a sigh he retold his 'lovely' story to the Bebop gang, hoping they get the idea of the baby's appearance in the ship.
"Oh... I see" Jet and Faye said in unison after listening to Spike's story.
"Can we keep cuddle-wuddles!?" asked Ed as she conjured a long wide smile at the adults.
"No!" yelled Jet and Faye
"B-but why?"
"Because then we'll have no sleep, no time to ourselves and eventually I won't have any money to go to the dog track," replied Faye in despair
"For once, Faye's right Ed. It's not easy taking care of a baby" said Jet casually with his arms folded. Not understanding that Ed can't have everything she wants, she throws a large tantrum at Faye and Jet
"I WANNA KEEP CUDDLE-WUDDLES!!! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA!" screamed Ed as she waves her arms in the air carelessly, causing chaos in the ship.
Fortunately the ship is currently isolated in outer space, but not so lucky for our Bebop gang as they attempt to tolerate Ed's vicious tantrum, which went on for 5 hours and still continue to fill the ship with madness. While Faye and Jet were keeping Ed 'in control' Spike went to his quarters and hanged out with the baby.
"Well little guy... I don't know if we gonna keep ya. But if we can't then don't blame me, okay?" Spike gently put the baby on his bed, beside him as he lay down on his back. The baby blinked his mother's coloured eyes at Spike and tilted his head on one side. With a smile upon his face, Spike lifted the baby and placed him on his stomach. He tickled the baby, making him gurgle and smile. Spike didn't mind to have the baby living in the ship, as he felt happy around the baby's innocent presence. He stopped tickling the baby for a while and shook his head. What the hell he was thinking? At a time like this, how is he supposed to look after the baby if he's broke?
"I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! I-"
"ALL RIGHT ALREADY! YOU CAN KEEP THE BABY!" Yelled Faye in defeat
"I can?" blinked Ed "YAY!!!" Jet and Faye sighed, hating the fact that more troubles will come their way.
"Great... Better tell Spike, we've got new member. Hey, where is Spike anyway?" asked Jet
"The last time I saw that jerk was him heading to his room" Faye replied, while propping her feet on the coffee table as she sits down on the couch. Sighing and trudging his feet, Jet eventually made his way to Spike's room.
"Damn... I hate my life..." grumbled Jet as he opened Spike's door. "Spike... Bad news pal, looks like we're gonna have- Huh?" Jet blinked at the sight of Spike nodding his head off while the baby was happily playing with his hair. Jet quickly wiped his agape expression and smiled at the view of Spike and the baby together. "Well, well isn't this cute? Looks like Spike will make a good baby sitter..." Jet said to himself as he closed Spike's door, deciding it would be best to leave him alone for a moment.
