Author's Notes: I do not own CB and I have not updated in over 2 months I guess. God damnit I am teh suck - but I've been pretty busy with school and all. And I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart.

Faye stood there in shock, she didn't know what came over herself. She stood there and stared at the body that now laid infront of her - lifeless. Shaking off the feeling she let the gun clattered to the ground and went back to Spike who was now laying on the ground with his eyes shut.

"Spike...Spike..." Faye whispered and gently shook him.

Spike opened one eye and looked up at her, 'I wish this wasn't the way it was going to end...' he thought to himself.

He didn't want to die staring up at Faye, her eyes full of sadness, almost looking the same way they did when he had returned to the ship. So empty, but yet full of emotion.

Spike gathered up the last of his strength and brought a hand up to Faye's face. Faye took the hand and wrapped her hands around it and nuzzled into it, kissing the inside of his palm.

"Please Spike..." Faye whimpered sensing tears were once again going to sprout from her eyes.

"I'm sorry Faye...I-I-...I love you.." Spike finally said and then smiled at her once more before his eyes began to close.

Faye felt her heart breaking right infront of her, "No Spike, no!" Faye screamed at the top of her lungs just as the ambulance arrived. They brought out the stretcher and placed him in it then put him into the ambulance. They also picked up the now dead Sylvia then drove off. Faye stood there helpless with tears streaming down her face.

Jet was now outside and walked up behind Faye and placed a hand ontop of her shoulder trying to comfort her. Faye broke down into a hysterical cry and Jet pulled her into a slow embrace.

"He will be just fine Faye...just fine..." Jet whispered trying to push away her fears away, as well as his own.

Faye looked up at Jet and asked, "Do you really think so Jet? Do you really think Spike will make it through this time?"

"Hell yeah, the kid can fall out of a building and still survive, he can get shot up and still be able to make it...I know him, he will pull through..." Jet said and gave her a small smile.

Faye felt her hopes lift a little but the thought of Spike dying was still fresh in her mind, "We should go to the hospital." Faye said.

"Yes, let me go tell Ed..." Jet said and began to turn around.

"Ed is right here Jet and she is coming with you and Faye-Faye." Ed said but not in her usual happy tone, then you heard Ein bark as well, "Ein is coming too."

"Alright," Jet nodded and they left.

AT THE HOSPITAL

When they reached the hospital Faye felt shivers go down her spine, she hated hospitals. Ever since she was a little girl she always hated the smell, the feel, the sight of hospitals.

Walking in Faye ran up to the desk and asked where they could find Spike's room.

"209 my dear, I believe the doctor is still in the room with him so you may have to wait a few moments or so." The lady at the desk said.

"Thank you," Faye mumbled and then ran to the elevator with Jet, Ed and Ein shoved in Ed's shirt so they do not notice.

"What's the room number?" Jet asked as he entered the elevator.

"209," Faye said and pressed the 2nd floor button. She waited impatiently for the sound of the bell, she didn't even wait for the doors to fully open on the elevator. Squeezing her way through the little crack she looked down both halls and saw where the 200's started and began running through the hall.

'205...206...207...208...' Faye counted in her mind, '209...' Faye felt her stomach knot up and her heart began beating faster. And indeed the doctor was still in the room, she could not see Spike because the doctor was in the way of her view.

Jet and Ed came up behind Faye and waited for the doctor to leave the room. When he did so he looked over at the trio and walked over to them.

"Hello, are you the family of this young man in the room?" The doctor asked.

"Well...no, not exactly family." Jet said rubbing the back of his head.

"Is he doing okay?" Faye asked feeling like she was going to burst.

"He is in critical condition as of right now, good thing he got here when he did or else he would've been done for." The doctor said and saw how shooken up Faye was, "May I ask you something..." the doctor asked the young lady infront of him.

"Yes, sure anything..." Faye said, wondering what he was going to ask.

"Are you Faye by any chance?" The doctor asked raising an eyebrow.

Faye shook her head, "Why?"

"Because Spike," the doctor looked down at his pad, "that is his name correct? Well anyways Spike was repeating your name over and over again while I was in the room." The doctor said, "Are you his wife?"

Faye's eyes went wide, "I take that as a no then..." The doctor said and gave a small smile.

"Will Spike-person be alright?" Ed asked.

"In good time, maybe. I guess we will just have to see how he does throughout the next couple of days and then we shall be able to tell." The doctor said and patted Ed on the head and began to walk away.

"Thank you doctor for all of your help," Jet said as he walked away.

"No problem at all." The doctor said as he stepped into the elevator and the doors closed.

Now that the doctor was gone Faye looked in the room and saw Spike had about 5 IVs in him and he looked as pale as a ghost. Faye's eyes filled with horror as she walked up to the door, and hesitated on opening the door.

"Go on Faye, the doctor said he was saying your name. Maybe if you're in there he will feel more comfortable." Jet said as he persuaded Faye to go in.

Faye nodded and turned the nob of the door and walked in. As soon as she did the sight of Spike made her stomach churn. She felt tears go down her cheek as she walked over to Spike's bed, bringing a chair along with her so she could sit next to him.

Faye grabbed Spike's hand and clapsed both her hands around it and whispered, "Spike...wake up..."

Faye felt Spike's hand tighten around her's. But his eyes did not open, but at least it was a sign that he was still indeed alive.

"Faye..." Spike said, his voice was a little raspy.

"Spike..." Faye said feeling a little bit of hope and brought her head near their hands laying next to them, "Please be alright..."
