He Knows His Brother.
Rebecca walked into the hospital room frustrated beyond belief. A phone call. Thats it.
A phone call from some random person saying he was injured and needed to go home.
Go home. As in go home. From the hospital.
Turning the corner she saw officers waiting outside a room. She slowed her pace and approached the man. She showed her badge and the officer stepped aside and she walked in.
She saw Lew first. He was sitting in one of the hospital chairs, hands all bandaged up. He gave her a sad smile before gazing over to the bed. Shifting her gaze she saw Spike sitting on it. Shirt off, medical taped wrapped around his waist and over his arm.
He held up his hands in defense, "Romans! I told him. Fucking Romans!"
She shaking her head she nodded to the door behind her.
"Come on kids. I'll take you back to the station for your things then get you home."

7 Hours Earlier
Rebecca pulled up in front of SRU and shifted the gear into park. Spike made a pathetic noise and frowned.
"Spike. Get out."
"Hey! It's my truck. You don't get to tell me when or I do, or do not have to leave."
She rolled her eyes and looked away.
"Spike it's just a couple of hours."
"Yeah but its boring and tedious. Besides. I am pretty sure he cheated."
Grabbing the duffle for him from the pack she dropped it in his lap.
"Sam is one of the most skilled marksman on your team. I highly doubt he cheated." She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled, "You aren't supposed to like inventory Spike."
He brushed her away, "Says the lady who doesn't have to do it."
She leaned over to give him a peck on the kiss which he tried to refuse before reaching and opening this passenger door.
"Stop being a baby and get out of the truck!" She scolded.
"Fine, little grumpy pants." He unhooked his seatbelt and began to get out. Holding on to the door he turned to look at her. "When do you get your car out of the shop, I don't think Meredith like it when you drive."
"The mechanic says within 3 days. So guess what. I could care less about what Meredith thinks. Does she know about Baby Cakes?"
Spike put a finger to his lips and rubbed the door of the car, "Shh. You will make her jealous. Meredith is very sensitive around the B word"
Rebecca could only smile, "Goodbye Spike."
"Love you."
She waved him off, "Yeah, yeah. Love you too."
Spike shut the door and made his way inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.
"Something isn't right Lew. I know it. I told you earlier. Romans and woods don't mix!" Spike whsipered as they scouted the ravine for their suspect.
Lew laughed, "Spike. It's 5 highly trained officers against a punk kid. We got this."
"Can we focus on the mission please, Spike we can worry about your ancestors lack of woodland history later." Parker said over the radio.
Suddenly a shot rang out and everyone stopped in ready position.
Splitting up the group to find the sigs Lew and Spike went Bravo to hit him from below. They ran into a clearing and there was a noise Spike stopped.
"Hold up. Hold up!"
Lew stopped, glancing back for a second. "What? You hear something?"
Spike wasnt sure. Suddenly there was a noise and a impact on his back.
"Woah!" His pack burst into flames.
He couldn't believe it. He was on fire!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.
"So does Ed know yet?" Lew asked while the doctor was wrapping up Spike in the hospital.
They had been discussing how angry Rebecca was going to be by the lack of communication on their condition. Which lead to the topic of their 4 month relationship.
Groaning in pain, Spike answered as the doctor hit a tender spot.
"Well. Seeing as I am still alive and not dead. The answer would be no."
"Yeah. I can't see that playing out any other way."
The doctor raised up Spikes arm to test it. Ignoring the officers conversation.
"It sucks ya know. Rebecca and I are serious. As in. One day I'm going to get down on one knee serious and it kills me that she has to doubt it because of her family."
Lew watched the grief on his friends face, "Ed doesn't like complications. Member of his team. Member of his family. Things get taken into effect."
The doctor stepped away to make some notes.
"Think I don't know that Lew? The whole situation is fucked up."
"Well." The doctor walked over, "You are going to be fine. You need to apply ointment to those burns to allow the scar tissue to heal. No heavy lifting or driving the next couple days."
Spike nodded, "Thanks doc. Anything else?"
"Actually yes." He looked between the two gentlemen. "No strenuous activity." Lew chuckled as Spike narrowed his eyes.
The doctor took his belongings and walked out of the room. 15 minutes later Rebecca walked through the doors looking upset. She must've come straight for work. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and she was wearing her 'Dance It Out' company shirt and sweat pants. Spiked watched her look back and forth between him and Lew.
Spike held up his hands in defense, "Romans! I told him. Fucking Romans!"
Rebecca just shook her head and motioned toward the door.
"Come on kids. I'll take you back to the station for your things then get you home."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.
Hours later Rebecca tugged on her coat and stood on the bottom of Spikes doorstep. Lew hadn't planned on staying but Spikes mother refused to let him leave on medication while injured. Rebecca saw it was getting late and said her goodbyes. Spike offered to walk her out.
He knew something was wrong, it pained him to see the look of despair in her eyes.
Rebecca was finally coming to grips with today and tears pooled. Spike frowned, stepping forward.
"Ehi, bella. Rebecca what's wrong?" He whispered holding her cheek.
"You scared me today." She admitted. She held on to her emotions so close.
Spike sometimes forgot how intense her emotions were. He let her continue.
"When I got that call and they said you were hurt." She swallowed a sob, "That I needed to come get you. It wasn't okay Spike." She said shaking her head.
He nodded, "I can't imagine it would be. But hey. I'm fine; Lew's going to be fine. No more worrying."
She wiped a tear away. "I know. I'm just being a baby."
"Well." He stepped down to place both hands on her cheeks, "You are lucky I love you and can put up with it."
She smiled and laughed which made Spike feel better.
"Jerk."
He dropped his arms to her shoulders and smiled.
"You'll come by tomorrow?"
She nodded, "I'll let your mom take first shift tonight in the 'I need to watch over guys who can't watch out for themselves' club."
"Mmm." He hugged her close, "Nurse Mom or Nurse Girlfriend. Can't say which one I will appreciate more." Rebecca rolled her eyes.
"You guys going to be ok tonight?" She asked pulling back.
"Yeah. The painkillers will probably kick in soon and Lew and I could use the rest."
"Good. You should sleep. I will stop by on my way to work ok? Check in."
He nodded leaned down to give her a soft kiss. Careful to not hurt him she stood on her tiptoes and returned it. Just a small second and he still craved more.
"Mmm. You need to go before I kick Lew out."
Rebecca agreed, "I'll see you tomorrow." She waved goodbye and walked out to her car. Neither noticing the familiar truck parked one house down.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.
Ed turned off the car off in front of Spikes neighbors. He knew Lew was over and he wanted to check on his guys.
About to get out he paused when Spike's porch light came on and the door opened. Two very familiar figures walking out.
He watched with curious gaze as his baby sister and teammate conversed on the porch step.
It seemed rather friendly, too friendly almost. But there was no way-
Suddenly Spike's hand was placed on Rebecca's cheek.
Who accepted his touch.
Then the intimate whisper he was conveying to her.
She nodded in understanding.
Spike kissed her.
She kissed Spike back.
Ed was furious. He knew she was hiding someone. She never expected it to be Spike. Ed thought he had stopped that year ago. Apparently he was wrong.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.
2 weeks later.
Spike was all smiles on the phone as we walked into work. Waving to his colleagues and he passed by.
"Hey, I was thinking we could go out to dinner tonight? Get dressed up, maybe a little dancing? Oh course I'm up to it. Rebecca. Stop worrying I am fine, just tender."
Still sore but healed Spike was able to return to work after 2 weeks. He was thankful. Not that he didn't like his mother and girlfriend doting over him he just missed being out there with his team.
"I know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be making smart comments to the most beautiful and wonderful girlfriend who has been tending to my wounds. Oh. You didn't catch my sarcasm? I apologize."
He saw Ed rounding the corner and cut it short. "Hey. I will call you later. Ya. You too. Bye." He snapped the phone shut. He waved to Ed who approached him.
"Hey Ed!"
"Spike." Ed nodded.
"How are you?"
"Good. Hows the war wounds? Rebecca still on your case?" Ed asked super fast. Forgetting the trick, Spike answered.
"Yeah man she's -"
Ed's fist came forward and punched him in the face. There was a very distinguishing popping sound.
Spike had leaned over holding his now bloody nose. Unable to make a sound.
The entire station was quiet.
Oh snaps.
Crazy right! I have the next chapter done. But I think I am splitting it up and using the first half as it's own chapter because it's super long right now.
