Five Years Later

The next five years shaped the Brooklyn Newsies into the toughest Newsies that New York had ever seen. Spot Conlon became the most respected Newsie, but also the most feared. He did requite every one of his Newsies to carry a sling-shot and know how to use it. Through the years they had also found quite a few more Newsies as well. Bring leader had hardened Spot, as well as Blade.

Blade had picked up a habit of making trips to Sheepshed and betted with Racetrack Higgins.

"Who you'se bettin' on, Blade?" Racetrack asked.

"Da big, black one, number five. What 'bout you'se?" Blade said as they sat down.

"Da brown one, number eight." Race responded.

"That old nag? You'se crazy?" Blade asked.

"Na. I'se got a tip 'bout that one, sayin' it was gunna win taday."

"Whateva you'se say Race. It's your money."

The race started and number seven, a grey horse, took the lead. Number five easily caught up, but number eight lagged behind at the back of the pack. Number five and number seven were neck and neck almost the whole race. Number five ended up winning.

Blade turned to Race. "Ok, Race, can I'se have me money now?" She asked with a laugh as Race dug into his pocket and gave her the money.

"Appar'ntly no one told da horse it was s'posed to win taday."

After leaving Sheepshed Race headed for Manhattan and Blade headed toward Brooklyn.

Blade walked across the Brooklyn Bridge about half an hour later. She walked over to the part of the dock where she could see the newsboys swimming and sitting on crates. She saw Spot sitting on a pile of crates with his shirt off and his cane in his hand.

"Hey Spot." Blade said as she sat on a crate opposite his.

"How were da races?" Spot asked.

"Good. I'se won quite a bit of money from Racetrack." Blade said and pulled some of it out of her pocket.

Spot smirked. "He ain't ever gunna learn not ta make bets wid you'se, is he."

"Nope." Blade pulled money out of one of her other pockets. "Dis is what he owed me from da last bet we made."

Spot smirked again. "She was a nice goil." He said, referring to the last bet that Blade and Race had made about how long it would take him to get this high class girl to sleep with him, even though Blade had to sleep on the couch half the night.

"Jus' don't invite her over again. I'se might soak her."

"I'se know she went through your stuff an' called ya a slut and a whore, but she was a nice goil."

"For you." Blade said then changed the subject. "Hey Spot. I know I'se coulda asked dis sooner, but da day I'se met you'se, Race, Mush an' Blink. Why were they in Brooklyn?"

"I'se asked 'em a few days later an' all they said was that Jack sent 'em on an errand."

Blade nodded and looked down at the water. "Come on, let's go swimmin'."

Spot didn't answer but began taking off his boots. He left on his boxers and jumped off the crates.

Blade stripped down to her bodice and petticoat and did a flip into the water.

"Watch it Blade! You'se almost landed on me." Spot yelled

"You'se got in da way." Blade said.

About an hour later the rest of the boys began to go back to the lodging house, some wanting to get ready for poker night.

Spot got out of the water and shook his shaggy hair in an attempt to make it dry faster. "Come on, Blade. We'se gotta get ready fer poker night."

"Ya, I'se know." Blade said and climbed onto the dock. They dressed and walked back to the Brooklyn lodging house.

Blade ended up putting on a green dress she usually wore for poker night. She knew Spot liked it.

Half an hour later Blade, Spot, Blaze, Blast and Suspender met up with Jack, Race, Mush, and Blink at Medda's.

"Before you'se loose da rest of da money you'se still owe me, let me have it." Blade said a she walked over to Race and held out her hand. Race sighed and dropped the money into her hand.

"Come on, let's play some poker." Spot said impatiently.

Race took his seat and Blade sat on Spot's lap.

They each put their money on the table and Spot ended up winning every round.

"Damn you, Spot." Jack said. "You'se have Blade looking at cards for ya?"

"Blade stood up and grabbed Jack by the collar and pushed him up against a wall. "Brooklyn Don't cheat, Jack."

"Easy Blade. He's jus' a bit drunk." Race said

Blade let go of Jack. The other Brooklyn Newsies were leaving and she waved to them.

"You'se jus' ain't a very good poker player, Jacky-boy." Spot said as he counted his winnings.

Blade walked over to Spot and said. "We should be getting' back ta Brooklyn."

Spot saw a small glint in her eyes and stuffed his winnings into his pockets, then stood up.

Mush looked at them as they were leaving. "Have fun guys."

Blade turned and waved to Mush. "Bye Mush." She called with a grin.

On the way back toward Brooklyn they didn't talk much. Then Spot turned to Blade and asked. "Why is it that you'se stay in Brooklyn, wid me, when you'se could be anywhere else?"

Blade looked at Spot and said. "I still feel that I'se owe you'se fer bein' so nice ta me, Spot. An' that fist time we made love in that bed, I'se felt so happy jus' ta be alive and wid you'se."

They stepped onto the Brooklyn Bridge and began walking across.

"I'se fell in love wid you'se on dat night, Spot." Blade stopped and kissed Spot's lips. Spot returned the kiss and ran his hand through her hair. They finally pulled away from each other take a breath.

Blade felt it was her turn to ask a question, so she did. "If your wid a different goil every otha night 'cept poker night, why do you'se call me back ta your bed, Spot, when you'se could have any otha goil?"

"'Cause, Blade. You'se is special ta me. An' cause that first time, I'se fell in love wid you'se too, Blade. I'se jus' don't know how ta express love and I'se know you'se don't really know either, 'cept fer sex." Spot whispered.

Blade smiled and kissed him again. She pulled away and grabbed his hand. "It's too hot ta go in da lodging house right now, so let's go skinny dippin'." Blade said with a smirk and pulled him forward.

It was amazing how different the two could be at night from the hardened faces they put on during the day.

When they reached the dock they stripped down and threw their cloths on the crates they usually sat on and dive into the water.

Blade splashed Spot when he came up to the surface for air. Spot came after her and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her to him.

"Spot, you'se is gunna drown us." Blade yelled at him as she got away and climbed onto the dock. She jumped over the crates where their cloths were laying and sat in the space behind them. She looked down into the water to see Spot's face.

"Help me up." Spot said, not wanting to take the time to climb up the latter. Blade helped him up and he ended up falling on her.

Spot immediately began kissing her. She smiled and returned the kiss, pulling him closer to her. Spot lowered his head and kissed the side of her neck. He left a hicky there and Blade made him lift his head.

"Someone is gunna see that, Spot."

"Too bad. Now everyone can know you'se me goil." Spot said and he went back to kissing Blade's collar bone and caressing her breasts.

Blade moaned softly and moved her hands over his muscled chest. Spot ground his hips against hers. Blade ran her hands down his back and around his hips.

Spot knelt between her legs and pushed himself in, earning a moan from Blade.

At first he went slowly, then faster, quickly finding the spot he knew made Blade moan. Spot pounded into her and moaned as he released. "Nicole." He moaned in her ear then kissed her. He pulled out and laid next to her. Blade rested her head on his chest.

"Thank you'se, Spot." Blade whispered and kissed his cheek.

"Me pleasure." Spot answered as he put his arm around her waist. Spot began falling asleep. Blade watched him for a few minutes then fell asleep and began to dream.

Beginning of Flashback

Blade's POV

I heard heavy breathing in Spot and I'se room. I walked in to find him laying on his bed. He was naked and had an erecting. He hardly seemed to notice me there as I looked at him. I leaned over and touched his arm gently.

"Spot?" I whispered then he grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. We made love…

End of Flashback

Regular POV

Blade woke up to find she was looking at Spot. She felt the wooden planks under her and looked up at the sky. She thought it was about two in the morning, judging from where the moon was and how dark it was. She woke up Spot and said. "We'se need ta get back ta da lodging house ta wake da boys, Spot."

"A'right." Spot said and sat up. "Not sore are ya?"

"I'll be fine." Blade said and began to put her cloths on.

They left a few minutes later.

They walked into the lodging house. Blade went to go change and Spot walked into the bunk room and yelled. "Wake up ya bunch a bumbs! We'se got pape's ta sell!"
