Hey here it is the update you have all been waiting for! Haha I doubt it but its nice to live in a fantasy. I have noticed in my stories that when you put a sequel on more people read your first story. Haha well I have had more readers on both my stories but not more reviews. They probably think I don't read reviews for my older stories. That is ok.

Thankyou Anonimoose and commanderbubbles101 you two have become my favy RR's.

Chapter 4

Jet and a very angry Spike walked down the steps of the police station. They agreed to let Spike out only if he took 100 hours of therapy. Spike had reluctantly agreed and Jet was free to take him. "How could you let Ed drive the Swordfish Spike!?" Spike only grumbled. "You know she can't drive, she is 15! She doesn't have a license what were you thinking!?"

"I didn't let her drive Jet," he snarled, "she scared me, I was knocked out, and the next thing I know we are being chased after the police! She kidnapped me and stole my ship!"

"Well you need to be more careful," said Jet, "she is intelligent but you know how clueless she can be!"

"Clueless!? You make her sound more innocent then she really is! She use to hake ships and make them crash for the fun of it! How can you call her clueless? She is an evil devilspawn who loves to make people like me suffer!"

"Well you were a member of one of the universes biggest crime organizations. No doubt you have killed before and robbed. I say it's karma. Yea that's it, Ed is your bad karma, AND SHE IS NOT A DEVILSPAWN!" Jet stormed off to the ship and drove them off. Spike's license had been revoked because of his irresponsibility. When they walked through the door a red blur grabbed hold of Spike's leg. He gave a heavy sigh.

"Please don't be mad at Edward," she cried, "Edward was only trying to get to Venus with Ein so we could fill our angry bellies!" Spike stood there contemplating his situation. They way he saw it he had three choices; he could forgive Ed, tell her not to do it again, go through his hours of therapy, and get his license back; he could beat the hell out of her poor butt and scare her away from ever doing it again, go through more therapy, and then forgive her after he got his license back; or he could put the girl out of his misery with his gun, go back to jail, make a new 'friend', and Christmas can come a couple days early.

He sighed in defeat. Jet would not like it if Spike made those last two moves, chances were Jet would turn Spike back in himself. He patted Ed on the head and kneeled down to eye level of her.

"Ed," he said seriously, "you have to promise me you will never do anything like that again. I don't like the cops already as it is and I can't have you causing me trouble like that." Ed brightened up and hugged his leg even tighter and promised over and over again not to do anything like that again. Jet smiled at him to in a I'm-glad-you-made-the-right-choice kind of way.

Spike returned the look with a blow-it-out-your-ass-old-man look. Jet only chuckled a bit and walked off to find out what time Teresa was going to arrive.

Naomi sat at the table with her father. He liked the soup, good, maybe he would leave her alone. She finished hers quickly and made a move for the door. An iron grip grabbed at her. She stopped and turned around. He had been drinking to much wine again, she could see it in his red face. She tried to pull her arm out of his grasp but he wouldn't let go.

Please God she begged in her head not again. Not tonight. Her father slowly stood up and pulled her behind him into his bedroom. She tried desperately to wiggle herself free from him. She began to hit him over and over again until he got annoyed. He grabbed her other wrist and threw her down the stares. She grabbed hold of his hair and drug him down with her.

She landed with her arm behind her back on the tile floor and heard a sickening crack. She looked up and saw her father there, sprawled out on the floor. At first she thought it was the sound of his neck breaking and began to panic. She crawled over and checked his pulse, he was okay, his hand came up on his forhead, that meant he was okay, nothing on him broke. She looked down at her own arm and tried to move it, no luck, her arm had broken under her own wait. She got up and ran for the door. She felt her father grab a hold of her ankle and she fell over at the door.

He pulled her back feeling up her thighs but she kicked him in the face with her high heels and crawled for the door.

"DAMN BITCH," she heard him say, "HOW DARE YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL WRETCH! I GAVE YOU A PLACE TO STAY AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME YOU WHORE! YOUR JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR GONNA DIE JUST LIKE HER!" Naomi ran and ran. She tried to ignore the bastards hateful words and ran for a hospital. She could feel welts swelling up on her arm and her ankle. She had not realized how hard he had squeezed her. She found a cap and asked him to take her to the nearest hospital. He looked at her and sped off to the hospital as fast as he could. She offered him money but he declined it. She thanked him and was now limping under the pain of her ankle into the hospital.

A doctor took one look at Naomi and rushed to her side. "I'm Dr. Kai," she said to Naomi, "what happened to you?"

"He hurt me," she said, trying to hold back tears, "he can't find me!"

"It's alright dear, tell us who did this to you."

"No," she said, "leave him alone! I don't want anymore to do with him!"

"Do you have someone you can come home with?"

"Yes," she lied. The dr. nodded and lead her into the X-Ray room. Why had she told the Dr. she had someone to go home with. She didn't know anyone. She reached into her pocket and grabbed a piece of paper. It was that guys number, Jacob, she remembered how nice he was to her. She smiled at the memory of the guy in the café. Her smiled faded when she realized they had only spoken once, why would he help her? She decided to try anyway. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and called him.

"Hello," she said, "Jacob? It's Naomi, we met yesterday in the café? Yea I need a place to stay. I'm at the Venus Jewish Hospital on 34th street. Yes, that's right. I'm getting a check up." He seemed to accept the lie and said he would be there right away. She smiled and the doctor came in with the X-Ray results.

………………………………………………………………………………

Jacob came into the waiting room and waited for her. When she came out he noticed a cast on her arm. "What happened?"

"Oh it was just a nasty fall," she said with a smile, "nothing to worry about."

"Well okay," he said, "I'm actually going to be elsewhere later tomorrow if you want to come."

"Where at," she asked nervously. Jacob could tell she didn't trust him. He didn't really buy that she was there for a check up and fell down and broke her arm. He told her he was spending Christmas with his son and a few of his son's friends. She seemed to be thinking about it.

"You could always go back home if you want to. I know you don't trust me so I won't be hurt if you decided not to. Although, I wouldn't want to if I were you. Those stairs you 'tripped' on might be there waiting for you." She seemed to think about this and agreed to go. She sort of looked sad yet relieved at the same time. "I just want to warn you my ex wife will probably be there." Naomi giggled and said it was no trouble at all.

……………………………………………………………

Teresa had arrived at the Bebop at last. She had been flying for hours and was anxious to see everyone. She rushed over to Spike and gave him a huge hug. She looked over and gave her fake 'daughter-in-law' a hug saying they should get drunk together sometime. Faye smiled and said she couldn't wait. She gave Ed a hug and said she had a present for her for Christmas. She then set her eyes on the man she had waited to see. She ran over and jumped up wrapping her legs around his waist. He put his arms under her bottom to support her and gave her the first passionate kiss in a long time.

He let her down and she turned around and was shocked to see her son's ship in really bad condition. "My God," she said airily, "what happened?"

"An accident," said Spike, not wanting his mother to hear about it.

"Spike let Ed drive," said Jet. Spike looked ready to kill him. He didn't get the chance though because his mother immediately rounded on him.

"YOU LET HIM DRIVE?! HE IS 13, 14 AT MOST! HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GET BEHIND THE CONTROLS OF A SHIP!?" Spike twitched.

"Edward is a girl," said Ed.

"Not now dear," said Teresa, ignoring Ed, "DO YOU NOT HAVE ANY RESPONISIBLITY?"

"FOR THE LAST TIME," shouted Spike, "I DID NOT LET HER DRIVE! SHE TOOK CONTROL OF MY SHIP AFTER SHE SCARED ME AND MADE ME PASS OUT!"

"DO NOT USE THAT TONE WITH ME MISTER! YOU SHOULD AT LEAST PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THE POOR DEAR! HE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!" Spike was just about to yell back when Faye jumped in the middle offering to show Teresa some of her new cloths. Teresa agreed and the two girls jumped off to go do their girly things.

"Haha sorry about that Spike," said Jet, "I can't help it. I can't hide anything from her."

"Yea whatever," said Spike, "just as long as you don't go blabbering to my father we will be okay."

"Ed is sorry again Spike," said Ed innocently.

"Yea I know Ed," he said exhaustedly.

………………………………………………………………………..

Okay so there is some heart wrenching drama and some humor there for you.

Next Chapter:
