55 David pulled into the parking lot at the prescient. It had been one of those days that
everyone wanted to just forget. They'd responded to a car accident. Simple enough, until a
drunk driver came barreling through the scene. He ran into a crowd of bystanders, killing
three of the instantly and pinning the others underneath the car.
Bosco and Faith got out of the car and walked into the house. They greeted Swersky and
joined Ty and Sully in the locker room.
"Anyone up for drinks?" Bosco asked extending the invitation to all.
"I know I am" said Faith, taking off her vest and tossing it in her locker.
"Sully, Davis? The more the merrier"
"I don't think so Bosco." said Ty. "I just wanna go home."
"Me too" said Sully.
"Alright then, I guess it's just you and me Faith."
"Sounds good"
Faith and Bosco finished putting on their civvies and walked out to his mustang.
"Ready?" he asked opening the passenger side door for her to get in
They were at Haggerty's in a matter of minutes. Faith practically ran into the bar. She ordered
a pitcher of Bud for her and Bosco. They drank, talked, laughed and 3 pitchers later they were
dancing. Faith had her arms around Bosco and they were pressed close together. They
swayed side to side letting the music flow through them. By this point, all of Faith's inhibitions
were gone and she gazed up at Bosco. She reached up and brushed her lips against his. He
deepened the kiss and a brief walk later and they were at his apartment.
They'd barely gotten in the door before they were ripping each others clothes of and they
barely made it into the bedroom. Faith giggled as Bosco kissed her and the rest of the night
was pure ecstasy.
~*~*~*~*~
Faith rolled over, expecting the space next to her to be empty. It wasn't. Bosco lay next to her
sleeping like a baby and very obviously naked. Faith looked down at her own body realizing
she was naked too. She took the sheet off the bed, leaving Bosco underneath a comforter.
She walked into his kitchen in search of some aspirin. She had a massive hangover. She
started a pot of coffee and sat on his couch, trying to remember the night before.
"Faith," she said to herself, "What the hell were you thinking?"
She remembered sleeping with Bosco. It wasn't like it was a bad thing, in fact, Faith had
thought it was great. The thing she did regret was being drunk and not using protection. This
was her partner. What if- No. No what ifs. This was her own damn fault and she would have
to deal with it. She figured she should leave before Bosco woke up. She put on her clothes
and almost ran out the door.
~*~*~*~*~
It was two weeks later. Faith and Bosco didn't speak to each other unless absolutely
necessary. He walked into the locker room, looking solemn. Faith glanced in his direction and
busied herself with getting dressed. She closed her locker and walked over to him.
"We have to talk."
"Fine by me. What do we need to talk about?"
"I think you can figure it out, Bosco"
Sully and Ty glanced at each other and walked out of the room. They were alone.
"Look Faith. We were drunk, it wasn't supposed to happen and I have a huge feeling you
regret it. That's about all we need to talk about"
"I'm late"
"For what?"
"My period" she hissed through clenched teeth.
Bosco's blood ran cold. He turned to her, his eyes wide with what appeared to be fear.
"What did you just say?"
"I'm pregnant, Bosco"
He sat down on the bench and ran his hands through his hair. He looked up at Faith with
shock.
"Are you sure?"
"99%"
"What are we going to do?"
"Like I know Bosco? I'm a divorced mother of two pregnant with her partner's baby. I'm a bit
confused now too"
"We'll...we'll have to deal with it."
"What?"
"I'm not going to run away from this Faith. This is partially my fault."
"Bosco what are you saying?"
"I'll take care of it. I'll be a father"
"You don't know how to be a father"
"I can try, Faith."
"Bosco...I just."
"What?"
"It just seems awkward. It's not like we're together or anything and we'd be spending a lot of
time with each other if we have this baby"
"Well, let's be together"
"What" she almost laughed
"We can live together while you're pregnant. Faith, I can't care about me anymore. I have to
care about you and our baby. I'm sure you and me having sex wasn't just the liquor. I mean,
there has to be something there."
"You say that now Bosco. You say it now but what about when it's born. You'll crack and leave
and I'll be stuck raising another child all by myself"
"Faith" Bosco said, putting his arms on her shoulders "This is me. I'm not going anywhere."
Faith relented, letting her arms slip around Bosco, she began to cry on his shoulder. He pulled
her in closer to him and felt her body shudder as she sobbed.
"We can go see a doctor tomorrow" Bosco whispered
Faith nodded into his chest. He tilted her head up with his finger and wiped the tears from
her face.
"We're late" Bosco said. They walked out of the room and into role call.
~*~*~*~*~
"You ok, Bosco?"
"I'm just...thinking"
"Let me guess"
"It's just, two weeks ago I went out and had a drunken night of passion with a co-worker and
today I find out I'm going to be a father."
"Well, trust me it's a bit of a shock here too."
"What are we going to do? I want to be there for you but I don't want to move in together
unless you want me to."
"I do Bosco. I don't think I can handle pregnancy alone."
"Which apartment then?"
"Well since I don't have the kids anymore and it's cheaper, I would say yours."
"When should we move you in?"
"Tonight. We both have tomorrow off."
"Alright."
"We can stop at your place at the end of the shift."
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco pulled his mustang up the front of his apartment. There were boxes and duffle bags in
the back filled with the majority of Faith's stuff.
An hour later, most of the boxes where piled into Bosco's spare bedroom. He'd insisted Faith
take his but she said it was silly to move all of his stuff into the other one. He closed and
locked the door after the last box was in the apartment. He walked into the room where Faith
was sitting on the uncovered mattress.
"Ready to unpack?"
"I guess"
"You seem nervous"
"I just..."
"What?"
"I'm afraid to have this baby?"
"Why? You've had 2 already."
"It's a lot of work, Bosco. We have to plan ahead for this."
"Than we will"
Faith smiled. In a matter of hours Bosco had matured. He wasn't an immature little kid
anymore, he was the father of the life growing inside her.
He took a box and opened it up. Bosco had a dresser and bed in the room already so all Faith
had to do was put things where she wanted. There were two closets in the room as well.
He took out a pile of clothes.
"I'll work on the clothes" said Faith.
"I can help. Besides, I don't know where you want everything."
"Alright."
Three hours later, the room appeared to be finished. Faith turned the lamp that she had just
placed on her dresser on. She had a picture of her kids, a picture of her parents and the
picture that her and Bosco had taken at their graduation from the academy. She picked up the
picture and ran her finger over the glass. Bosco walked back into the room after getting her a
glass of water. He took the picture from her and looked it over. He scoffed.
"That was a great day" he said.
"Yea."
"Alright, I'm going to go to bed. We can go grocery shopping if you want tomorrow."
"Sounds good."
"Don't worry Faith" Bosco said. He put the picture down on her dresser and hugged her. He
placed a kiss on her temple and said goodnight.
Faith sat down on her new bed and let her new home sink in. She lay down on the bed and
thought of Bosco as she fell asleep.
