He paled. Then the sweating began. She looked at him waiting for an answer and he scratched the back of his neck.
"Are you okay Spike? Look some woman name julia called earlier and I want to know who she is" she walked up to him and he hung his head
"Julia? She..." the door bell rang and both spike and faye looked at the door. He let go of a breath of air and thanked whoever came at that time.
He walked past Faye and went to the door and opened it "Jet...Ed hello. What are you two doing here so early?" Ed smiled at Spike but when she saw Faye she ran past him
"FAYE-Faye yay ED can see you gain" she latched herself onto Faye's leg and Faye almost lost her balance
"Ah hello there" Ed looked up with big teary eyes
Spike and Jet smiled at the two of them before closing the door. Spike took Jet by the arm and pulled him towards the kitchen while Faye tried to get Ed off of her leg.
Once in the Kitchen Spike sat Jet on a chair "spike what's the matter with you this morning?"
Spike sighed "Jet I can't take this anymore...julia she called me earlier and Faye answered the phone and now she wants to know who Julia is..thank god you came at that time"
Jet tsk and then shook his head "you need to talk to Faye and be honest spike or you will lose her for sure...tell her and then you need to talk to julia"
Before Spike could answer him both girls walked into the kitchen laughing "hey Spike Ed and I would like to go out what do you say?"
He walked towards the door "alright let me get dressed and then we'll leave" before he was out Faye grabbed his arm and he looked down at her "something wrong?"
She dragged him out from the kitchen and up the stairs. Once in their room she closed the door and turned to him "Spike when we come back I want us to talk about Julia" she walked over to their dresser "it's just that she said something that is really nagging me and I want us to discuss it"
And let the devil collect his soul now. That's what he felt like at that moment. She took out something to wear "so it's that alright Spike?" she noticed his paled face, she noticed his nervous posture and she just knew something was wrong
He laughed nervously before answering her "ah yeah anything you want sweetheart"
They were walking down town watching the people and the stores. Jet was a little freaked out.
Ed held Faye's hand as well as Spike's and they looked like a strange little family. Even if ed was like sixteen already she still acts like a child.
"Papa-jet person I want some food" she let go of Spike and Faye and then ran to the bold man a few steps behind them.
Spike grinned and as they walked he took Faye's hand in his. She let a small gasp of surprise grace her lips.
She looked up at him but he pretended to be looking ahead. She blushed remembering his earlier state of dress or lack of thereof.
"Oohh Spike-person and Faye-Faye look so cute" squealed the little genious
Spike looked over his shoulder and then looked down at his wife "yes we do don't we"
"Come on let's grab something to eat" they all nodded and soon were on their way to find some restaurant unaware of the person who had been following them since they came out of their house.
In the restaurant
They were laughing and conversing. Faye was having a good time but she didn't feel all that great not remembering the times she spent with these people.
She looked down as their food were placed by the waiter. Spike caught a glimpse of her sullen look and sighed. He would give anything just to see her smile.
He took her hand in his and she looked up at him "spike when will I get my memories back?" he frowned this is not what he wanted her to focus on
Spike gripped her hand tight for a few seconds "soon I promise faye"
so she can't remember this is perfect.
Faye stood up "I'll be back in a while I need to use the bathroom" they nodded and Spike moved from the seat so she could get out.
She wanted to clean her tears, she wanted to stop them from coming out. Faye Valentine well Spigeal now doesn't cry or at least that's what she remembers. She is a fighter and she will not change that.
She wiped her face once in front of the mirror and sighed "Faye girl get a grip obviously they are very important to you so don't screw it now that you finally belong" she said to herself
The door to the bathroom opened and faye gave a short glace to the bathroom's new occupant. A woman wearing glasses and a cloth on her hair. Faye shrugged and turned to the mirror
wearing glasses inside a restaurant how ridiculous. She giggled to herself and the woman began to take off her things.
"Hello" faye turned to the woman
"Hi" that's strange she sounds familiar but from where
The woman walked up to the other mirror "How are you?" faye was a little freaked with the friendliness
those piercing blue eyes where have I seen them, and that fine golden hair
"Fine how about yourself?" the woman smiled at faye
"Couldn't complaint about it right at the moment...so I bet you don't remember me" Faye shook her head
"No should I?" the woman turned to face her and faye did the same
"Porker Alice really you don't remember me?" Faye blinked not once but twice, but something seemed odd about this
"It's me Faye Janice" and she smiled
"Janice? I don't remember a Janice and that name doesn't really suit you thought no offense" the woman laughed a little
"That's okay, well we haven't seen each other in almost three years, I heard you got married"
"Ah yeah" the woman chuckled and then looked at the mirror "so are you my friend?"
The woman turned back to her "yeah Faye we used to be partners like sisters even" Faye smiled despite her guts telling her other wise
"Well I'm glad I ran into you then Janice I really need my old friends if I want to remember everything that has happened these past years"
Outside the others were wondering what was going on. Spike was about to get up when he spotted her coming out of the bathroom. She was talking to someone but couldn't see who with all of the waiters walking around.
He sat back down and waited for her "here she comes spike" Spike looked up when he felt Faye's hand on his shoulder and his eyes widened
"spike this is Janice she says she knows me" Spike let his mouth hung open. Jet and Ed watched him curiously and Faye just raised an eyebrow at him
"Spike?" Janice smiled Mission accomplished
"Huh oh yeah right..ah" he stuttered
"Hi My name is Janice how are you?" she extended her hand out to him
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck...what the Fuck is Julia thinking I'm going to kill her
Spike groaned and hesitantly took her hand in his gripping it hard and narrowing his eyes at her "Hi Janice I'm Spike Faye's Husband how are you?" he said through clenched teeth
Jet noticed his friend's state and was wondering what the hell was going on "Spike?" Spike turned to look at Jet and let go of her hand.
"So she and I are friends from before meeting you or that's what she tells me...Spike can you make some room for us please" she smiled at him and he found himself agreeing without thinking. She got in and sat next to him and Janice or so she called herself follow after
"Hi my name is Jet and this is Ed" she looked at them and gave them small smirks. Jet didn't like this woman one bit but wanted to make sure nothing happened while they were having a nice meal.
"So Janice what did we like to do back then?" Faye was hoping some of her old life could be brought back to her hazed mind
Spike was gripping the napkins hard. He wanted to kill her right then and there but he couldn't do anything unless he wanted faye to know the truth "well we used to drink a lot and we liked to party"
"Oh yeah I remember my drinking habits but I can't anymore" at that Julia raised an eyebrow in question and Spike took that as an opportunity.
He draped and arm around Faye's shoulder and began to kiss her cheek "that's right my faye can't drink anymore since that would hurt our baby"
Julia glared at the two especially at Faye's blushing face. She wanted to scream beat the stuffing out of someone but no she has to keep calm in order to get her man.
To make it more dramatic Spike put his hand on her stomach "this little guy needs to grow up and be strong like his daddy" Faye giggled and then patted his hand
"What if it's a little girl huh?"
"Is Faye-Faye and Spike-person going to have baby?"
"Yes Ed they are going to have a baby soon" Julia was getting tired of this oh how she loathed Faye right now.
"Faye I must be going" she stood up and Faye followed "I'll see you sometime then?"
"Wait please Janice I mean if we are friends then we should keep in touch...why don't I give you our number and you can call me or better yet why don't we do something other than drinking"
perfect I'll take her out of the picture
she gave faye a tender smile and brushed away one of Faye's hair behind her ear "sure Faye I'll come over sometime maybe help you with thing for your child...let me get the address"
While they exchange info Spike was shaking his head. Out of his unlucky days Julia had to do this. Why o why? As Julia was leaving she gave him a glared that he knew meant she would be talking to him soon.
And that's just what he wanted right about now to talk to the woman and tell her to back off.
Faye sat down and giggled "jet isn't great I have a friend"
Jet was analyzing things all the while it's strange that she has this sudden friend? Where was this so called friend while she had her memories. I don't like this I don't like it one bit. No sir
"Jet?" he blinked and gave faye a nod
Spike too was deep in thought trying to find a way to tell Faye the truth. It wouldn't be long until she got her memories and it was best she knew now.
Once they were home Faye was in the bathroom getting a bath ready. Something kept nagging at her but what she couldn't remember.
"Maybe this is part of my memory lost...but I could have sworn I had something pending today" she walked out to her room and found Spike on the bed taking his shirt off. She blushed
wow....well I should be so embarrassed I'm sure he and I have had many...well but it's different now...how so I'm his wife he's my husband and we are a normal married couple...right normal? Oh shut up
"Did you hear me Faye?" she was brought back from her thoughts, she looked up at spike as he stood before her smiling with a goofy grin
She shook her head "no what was that?" he turned around and walked over to their bed
"I said that I'll be down stairs if you need anything" he gathered his shirt off of the bed and was soon heading for the door
"Spike thank you for being patient with me I know this is so strange for you, but just give me time I promise" she went up to his and pecked him on the lips. That small action from her part sent shivers down both their spines.
She wanted to stay there she wanted to feel his arms around her, but she pulled away not realizing that he too wanted to hold her and feel her pressed against him. He scratched the back of his neck and gave her that goofy grin and she found it so sexy.
Cold shower I need a cold shower right now. "Well I'll see you tomorrow then" with that she walked over to the bathroom and closed the door. She was satisfied in knowing that she at least was attracted to her husband very much in fact since her breath was rapid and her heart beating fast "oh I can't wait to be with him" she blushed and got into the shower "Faye you are one strange woman"
He laid in the couch. The hole Julia being Friends with Faye was driving him nuts and to make it worse he was getting nowhere in how he was going to tell faye that her new old friend is more of an enemy than she knows.
His communicator rang and he picked it "Yo what's up Jet" jet shrugged
"I was hoping you tell me Spike what was that today? I didn't know faye had a friend like Janice" Spike banged his fist on the couch
"Jet that was Julia I don't know what kind of Game she is playing but I will make her stop" Jet chuckled and then burst out laughing "this isn't funny Jet"
"Oh really...the classic old jealous girlfriend desperately doing whatever it takes to get you back and get rid of the new love of your life" spike laid back down on the couch
"What bugs me is that she was following us and listening how else could she have known about Faye" Jet nodded
Spike heard light footsteps and looked back as Faye came down to the livingroom "hey need something?" she shook her head and sat next to him
"Hey jet" he waved at her and she rested her head on Spike's shoulder
"What's the matter?" she sighed and then laid her head on his lap
"I just can't sleep that's all and my stomach is very upset" he began to stroke her hair
He looked into the communicator "Jet I'll see you at work tomorrow" he nodded and closed the communicator "and you should be laying down in bed it's probably that thing you women get when pregnant..what's it call again"
She rolled her eyes at him "men are such idiots it's called morning sickness and yes I think that might be it" without another word her picked her up and she let out a small gasp "spike?"
"We are going to rest in our bed tonight just that" she agreed silently and he climbed the stairs to their room.
The next morning both awoke feeling great. It was like their best medicine had been to be asleep in each others arms.
Spike left for the office and faye went with him even after he asked her to stay in bed, but she was very stubborn that was for sure.
She walked head of him up the stairs and he walked slowly behind. A person caught his eye and he was growing frustrated "Faye go on ahead I have to do something" she looked at him quizzically then nodded "it's the fifth floor"
Once he made sure that she was out of sight he walked towards the end of the block and turned around. He came face to face with Julia.
She smiled and he took her by the elbow "what the Fuck are you doing Julia?"
She pulled her hand away "Spike I'm just being your Faye's friend nothing more"
he was growing tired "I'm not going to play this game Julia I don't want you near my wife I don't want you near us at all....what we had is in the past and it should have stayed there I'm moving on Julia and it would be best if you did too"
She smacked him "you toy with me Spike, but deep down you still love me as I love you and I will not let that hussy have you what's mine will remain mine...oh and I'll be seeing you later Faye called me as soon as you two got home yesterday and asked me to come over so I couldn't refuse now could I"
She turned around and began to walk away "Julia I swear that I'll kill you if you try anything...if you dare say a word to faye about who you really are I will kill you" she kept on walking.
He punched a wall and winced as the pain surged through his body fucking julia and he sick games but I will stop you.
