( An hour or so ago.When Beth and Spike come in from the House of Arch, she's got a hell of a lot more on her than she ever has for her trips out with him, but none of those trips ever involved a baby. And all of those trips were to places where she could easily buy anything she forgot and needed mid-trip ( Read more... )

There's nothing easy about this. Despite all the planning and all the assurances and all the reassurances, it's still not easy. Mostly it's because the whole setup makes him feel helpless, and feeling helpless isn't his strong suit at all ( ... )

The backpack weighs a goddamn ton; it always amazes her that just a few days without the thing on her back makes it so much harder to pick up and put on again. Scanning the bar, she sees them waiting just where Beth said she'd be. With a determined stride, she makes her way over. Quinn's not here, Jayne's not here, Jack's not here, Duo's not here. And that's okay, because it makes it easier. Once she gets close enough, she reaches over and touches the little cap on top of Beth Junior's head ( ... )

"All right. The sooner we get going, the sooner we can get the hell back."

Turning from Hero to look at Spike again, she pulls her sunglasses off, rests the bag in her hand on the floor, and tugs him forward by the tie until her mouth meets his.

There's no room for bashfulness at a time like this, and she doubts she'd be bashful about it anyway.

With barely an inch between them, her hand still on his tie, she barely smiles. "Don't you think for a minute that I don't love you." It's all but a whisper. "Not for a fucking second."

Once that's out, it's almost a return to business: she slips the watch they've had for so long but she still always thinks of as Joe's into her pocket, then picks up the bag she let drop a moment before.

And frankly, she already feels just a little bit better.

"Hey, Junior. Got a smile for Spike?"

She doesn't smile on cue, but it's worth a try.

"Bye, princess." Reaching forward, he rubs Junior's cheek with his fingertip, then leans over and kisses the soft skin on her forehead. "I'll see you back here soon." The baby's eyes are wide with stimulus, with excitement, with the amount she can see from her new vantage point. It's awfully damn sweet ( ... )
