EPILOUGE:
And they lived happily ever after. Faye erased the last words she'd typed, watching them disappear one letter at a time. That wasn't really the way to end it.
Spike swore from the kitchen and Baby screamed. "Jet! Your expletive of a goddaughter's a menace to society!"
Faye leaned over on the couch to survey the damage and chuckled softly. Baby Merideth had thrown the spaghetti her father had just cooked all over the kitchen, and had it all over herself and all over her father's new wrinkled old blue suit. Her husband stood in the middle of it all looking like he was ready to thrown a tantrum himself.
Jet put a hand on Faye's shoulder and she looked up, "Your daughter just takes after her father Spike!" he half-heartedly yelled into the kitchen as he smiled at the young mother. "Try not to let her burn down my ship." He moved toward the danger zone with a laugh.
Purple hair swished around her face as Faye shook her head, smiling all the while. Maybe that was the right way to end this story. Spike came in and threw himself down on the couch beside her, leaning over to lay his head in her lap. A cat wanting attention. She smiled and tangled her fingers in his hair, leaning down to kiss him slowly.
And they lived hap…
Edward leaned over her shoulder and finished typing the sentence. Happily ever after.
"EWWW. There's spaghetti in your hair!"
A/N: I really couldn't resist. The epilogue is a little ridiculous I know, but after all the gloom and doom of this piece I thought Spike and Faye-Faye needed a happy ending. Plus, spaghetti. There is nothing bad there.
I don't normally write author's notes, actually I generally find them annoying and useless, but I am going to use this one to apologize for the short last chapter. Everything just wrapped itself up quickly, so I didn't really need to write anymore (though I'm sure someone will say that it's rushed or unfinished or something).
Anyway. Thank you all for reading this and I welcome all review or criticisms you may have. Thank you for your patience, and good night all.
