Disclaimer: I do not own Cowboy Bebop and if I did then I'd make sure I'd fill every fangirl's dream and make sure that there would be better shots of Spike shirtless. Yes...and well I guess the guys would have their share with Faye...but there isn't much work needed on that. Anyway the main thing is that I don't own Cowboy Bebop so don't sue me. I don't have any money anyway. I apologize in advance for any grammar screw ups. FORGIVE ME! *bows*


What happened in the last chapter....

It sounds like you guys are having a hard time... maybe you should take the time to work things out in your marriage? Both Spike and Faye looked at Barbera in confusion. I mean...why don't you just talk to each other? You don't need stress at a time like this. she smiled.
What are you saying? asked Spike.


It All Lead Up To This
Chapter 2
By: Miru88


Barbera smiled at Spike's question. I think the first thing you should do is tell each other how much you love each other.
both Spike and Faye yelled at the same time. Spike grew silent and Faye just stared at the blonde nurse as if she was some sort of alien.
Barbera's expression turned serious, You do... love each other... right?
Faye snapped out of it. We love each other? Apparently her question sounded more like a statement because Barbera had a huge smile on her face.
Why do I feel like this is going to be like a damn soap opera? Spike sighed.
Shut up Spike. Lets just talk and get this over with. Faye glared at Spike.
he said annoyed with her. How the hell did he get in this position anyway? He saved Faye's ass and this is what he gets. This is stupid and downright unfair' he thought. Spike glanced at his bandages and sighed. Damn Faye... save her life and what do you get? Just a thank you'.... nothing else.
What was that Spike? Faye muttered.

What more can you ask for? I DID say Thank You.
You should be grateful more often.
WHAT? YOU STUPID LUNK HEAD! What More do YOU want from me?!
Spike looked at Faye, viewing her from up to down. Damn. A kiss would be nice. ..wait... WHAT DID I JUST SAY.... or think... I thought it... I hope.'
All this time they had forgotten that Barbera was still in their presence. They were arguing and shooting comebacks at each other while Barbera was busy analyzing their situation'.
Barbera said cheerful as always.
Yup what? asked Spike. Faye was too busy glaring at him and twitching to hear her.
It seems to me, Mister and Misses Spiegel that both of you have a very troubled love life. Yes. That's right. She looked as if she was in deep thought, tapping her pen on her head.
Your kidding right? I-I mean ME and SPIKE? Love life? HELL NO! Faye was laughing her ass off at the thought of having sex with Spike...which oddly enough she considered at that moment until he spoke.
What the hell are you talking about Faye?! I'm the one who should say that! he retorted.
...ahhh denial too...hmmm... Barbera was in deep concentration, gathering important information from the two quarreling lovers'.
Faye was too frustrated to care. all right', she thought, I just want to get over with this damn thing.' She inhaled deeply and sighed. she spoke softly. This made him interested. Her tone wasn't filled with sarcasm or anger, like what he was used to hearing. her voice was more urgent, but still didn't have its usual sarcastic tone. He looked at her in response. Im sorry. I should be more grateful and maybe more aceptive over your she winked at him and kissed his cheek. If there is a god, I wouldn't have had to go through that.' she thought. ...but it wasn't so bad...hm..' she turned around and smiled to herself. Yeah, It wasn't so bad.'
He just sat there wondering what the hell happened. Faye just....now what did I DO to deserve that?' He wanted to ask her what that was all about but she was nearly out of the door. Wha-WAIT! FAYE! Well if you care about my wants' then I WANT you to stay!
She sighed and turned around. Im sorry HONEY, but I have to go back to the Bebop and tell Grandpa Jet about your injury!
He understood her little joke. Faye, you know if Jet finds out you said that he will kill you, right?
What else is new she grinned. She blew him a kiss and walked out of the room.
...I...I've never seen such a fast recovery for a relationship. Barbera was stunned. She quickly wrote down more words and smiled. Okay, Mister Spiegel, I think I'll leave you alone now. The doctor said you should rest and that you should be out in two days or so.
Spike nodded. Two days. Sounds good to me.

The Bebop was pretty much normal. Ed was busy hacking into some master computer of some sort and Jet was busy attending his bonsai trees. Faye knew that as soon as she returned she would owe an explanation to Jet about why Spike wasn't with her. Jet was waiting for her in the main room. His arms were crossed and he wore an expression which was just plain scary. So, where's Spike, Faye?
she didn't quite know how to say what had actually happened. It was so unlike Spike.
yelled the orange haired girl as she ran into the room. Ed wrapped her arms around Faye tightly. Ed missed Faye-Faye sooooo much!!! ...did Faye-faye get Ed a present?
Faye smiled slightly and sighed. No Ed. Im sorry I couldn't get you a present. At least she didn't ask about Spike' Faye thought. She walked to the couch and sat down.
Ed whined.
What DO you want Ed? I told you I didn't get you a present!
Why isn't Spike-person here Faye-faye?
Faye slowly narrowed her eyes at Ed, ...why do you ask Ed?
cause!! Maybe Spike-person got Ed a present!
Ed! Forget about the present! Go ask Jet where Spike is!
Ed smiled and sang Pretty Present Peasant while grabbing Ein to interrogate Jet.
Faye sighed in relief. Thank god she's gone, she mumbled out loud. She walked to the bathroom in hopes of a nice hot shower. Grabbing a wash cloth she walked into the bath tub and turned the water on. AH! WHY ISN'T THIS DAMN THING EVER FIXED?! she screamed.

Spike was lying in the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He wasn't sleeping. He wished that he was, but he wasn't. One thing, just one little thing was keeping him from his precious sleep...and you'd think it would be the pain. What the hell was that kiss about? I mean I know that Faye wanted to get the hell out of this place, but ..' Spike sighed. His mind was racing, thinking about Faye. Faye of all people too. Wait...Im thinking about Faye, what's wrong with this picture?'


Faye was already out of the shower. She was just about to put on her yellow shirt when Ed barged in on Faye. she yelled jumping up and down with Ein in her arms.
AHHH! What is it Ed?! Faye asked angrily. Ein just whined feeling slightly queazy.
Faye-faye! Jet person said that he would take Ed to see Spike person!
...okay...so what does that have to do with me?
Edward wants Faye-faye to come!
What?! Oh god Ed!
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! JET PERSON! FAYE-FAYE IS COMING TOOOOO! Ed screamed running out of Faye's room and down the hall. Poor Ein was locked in her arms.

The ride back to the hospital was very quiet. No that's a lie. It wasn't, not with Ed nearly bouncing off the walls. Occasionally Faye would yell at Ed for making too much noise and in response for that, Jet would yell at both Ed and Faye.

Spike Spiegel?
Spike's sleep was interrupted by a familiar voice. He opened his eyes, but his vision was slightly blurry. Julia' he thought. Her hair was blonde and slightly wavy, but her eyes...her eyes weren't sad or filled with a melancholy look. It wasn't Julia. Spike sighed. Hi Barbera.
I'm sorry did I wake you?
No. What is it?
You have some visitors. um...Its Misses Spiegel and her two other guests.

she nodded. Okay, come in!

Ed ran into the room first yelling Spike-person did you get me a present! Jet followed, he glanced at the nurse and smiled-signaling that she could leave. Then Faye appeared. It was odd because she avoided eye contact with him. This made him raise an eyebrow.
The next half and hour or so was spent catching up with Jet. He explained how he ended up in the hospital and why they had missed their chance to bag the bounty-head. Ed was too preoccupied looking at all of the hospital equipment. And Faye...where was Faye?

Jet and Ed were just about to leave when Faye walked through the door. Faye smiled at them and they walked out of the door. Jet had remembered Faye's previous request to have time to talk to Spike alone.
Hey Faye. Spike said and grinned.
When are you going to get out of this hell hole? she shot him back another grin.
Maybe tomorrow. he closed his eyes, but still wore the grin on his face.
I knew you were tougher to kill than a cockroach, Spike.

...look Spike?

There was a long pause. When he opened his eyes again he saw that she was staring at the floor. Im sorry.
For what?
You know...the kiss. I just wanted to get out of here so bad with out that nurse bugging the hell out of me.
It didn't mean anything did it? he questioned.
...I don't know. Did it? she raised her head to look at him. He was still bandaged up, and he must have still felt a little pain-but normally he would have still had that cocky grin on his face. His expression was serious. Faye hated that, but loved it at the same time.
If you want it to be. Maybe. He was nervous. Did it really mean anything?'
