Chapter 1

Faith and Bosco were at Mercy hospital with one of their suspects, who had accidentally fallen down a flight of stairs while they were taking him into custody.

"How much long is this going to take? I'm not a babysitter, you know." Bosco said, as they were watching the doctor work on the suspect. "It was just a cut on the head, it's not like he's dying."

Faith smiled at Bosco. "You don't change do you?"

"Do you really want me to change Faith?" he said with a grin.

"Of course not, Bos." Bosco moved closer to her, placing his hands on her hips. She looked at him. "Not at work,"

"Just one kiss. Lieu doesn't have to know." Bosco replied, smirking slightly.

Faith smiled. "No… I told you we have to be professional at work. I don't want us to be split up."

"Fine, but you better make up for it later." Bosco said, his smirk widening." I'm going to go and get some coffee; maybe by then we can leave."

Bosco was making his way back to Faith, when he passed by the lounge where he, Faith, Ty and Cruz had been trapped during the shooting. He's been at the hospital many times since he's been back on the force, but this was the first time that he came to the place where his life almost ended.

He walked into the lounge, and touches the chair. He can still remember that day like it was yesterday. He can't remember too much about that day, all he could remember was seeing Faith freezing, and the gunmen coming towards him, and his instinct told him to save the woman that he loves. He didn't even think about the consequences, all he thought was that he couldn't lose Faith.

He touched his scar. "I would do it again if I had to," he whispered to himself.

"I still remember that day." a voice said, interpreting his thoughts. Bosco turned around, and came face to face with Mary Proctor.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I am talking about." Mary Procter replied. "Faith was so upset that night; she waved the gun at me because nobody would get you up to surgery. I've never seen her like that before, she was really losing it, because of what had happened to you."

She paused, smiling at me. "There was something about how she watched you…how…holding your gun seemed to make her feel better. Because it was yours…she felt connected to you somehow. She loves you. But I think you already know that?"

Bosco smiled. "Yes I do."

"I'm glad that you are alright, you had me worried there for a while."

"You telling me that you missed me?" Bosco said, his smile turning into his infamous smirk.

"I never said that." Mary Procter said with a laugh.

"Do you think everybody misses you, Bosco? I think some people were happy that you were in a coma." Faith said, as she entered the room.

Bosco turned around. "But you weren't one of them."

She walked up to him, and smiled. "Of course not."

He moved closer to her, and was about to kiss her, when she stopped. "We can't do that, not at work."

"Do you think you can make sure that nobody comes by here for a while?" Bosco asked Proctor with a grin.

Proctor smiled. "5 minutes, that is it." she said, as she walked out of the lounge.

Bosco leaned over and kissed Faith.

She looked at him. "We can't do this."

"But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. Haven't you always wanted to know what it was like to do it during shift?"

"You would have experience in that, wouldn't you?" Faith said with a grin.

"It was just that one time."

"With the captain's daughter no less." Faith said. She then leaned over and kissed him.

"This is fun, isn't it?" he said with a grin.

She smiled. "Yes."

He kissed her again. "Bosco" She touched his face. "You were right, this is fun, but that's it."

"But my 5 minutes aren't up." he protested.

"You'll get more of this later, trust me" she said, as she left the lounge, a few seconds he followed her out. Mary Proctor walked up to them. "Your suspect is ready to go now."

Mary grinned at the both of them. They both just smiled at Mary. "Bye," they said, as they went to get their suspect.

Bosco was talking on the phone to his mother. "Yeah, I'm going to do it tonight,"

"I've got to go now, Ma, I'll see you on later," he said, hanging up the phone, as Faith entered the locker room.

Faith opened her locker. "Talking to your mom?" she asked, glancing at him.

Bosco nodded. "She wants us all to go for dinner on Saturday."

Faith smiled. "That's sounds fine. Emily and Charlie really like your mom."

Faith was changing out her uniform, Bosco watching her a mischievous grin on his face. "You know you shouldn't do that, Faith, all I want to do is kiss you, well more than that."

"Well, then I won't change out here." Faith replied, as she walked into the bathroom stall, and finished changing her clothes.

"I didn't mean you couldn't change in front of me." he said.

He then looked at the clothes she was wearing; he had this big grin on his face.

"I change in the bathroom stall because I want to surprise you. Do you notice anything, Boz?" Faith said, as she moved closer to him.

He looked at her. "Of course I would notice, Faith, you are wearing the leather pants, you look hot."

"The kids are staying at Fred's tonight, so we have the place to ourselves. I wonder what we can do." she said, as she put her arms around Bosco.

"We're at work, Faith, remember. We can't do this, "he said, with a grin.

She hit him. "Just because I don't want them to separate us as partners, you don't have to make fun of me."

"I would never make fun of you, Faith," he said, as he leaned over and kissed her.

Ty and Sully came into the locker room.

"Do you think the two of you can get a room?" Ty replied, as he opened his locker,

"Could you shut up?" Bosco said, as he went back to kissing Faith.

"Can the two of you just wait until you get home?" Sully responded.

Faith smiled. "They're right, let's go home." she said, as she started to walk out of the locker room.

Bosco grinned. "Right behind you."

Sasha walked into the Captain Finney's office. "You wanted to see me."

"Sit down."

"What do you need me to do?" Sasha asked.

"How are you doing at 55?"

"I don't get what you are asking me?" she asked.

"I'm asking you if anybody know you are working for IAB." Captain Finney asked.

"I don't think anybody know, I actually think that I should go to another precinct. I haven't found anybody doing anything that bad. They're a good team there, almost like a family."

"Are you getting too personal with them?" He asked. "You're there for a job."

All Sasha could think about was Ty. If he ever found out that she was working for IAB their relationship will be over. She was starting to really love him, so it would be best if she just leaves the 55.

"There is no way you are leaving the 55th precinct…not yet. You haven't finished your job there."

"What do you want me to do? Nobody is doing anything wrong!"

"That's not true; I want to know who murdered Mann."

"Mann?"

"Yes, Cruz got away with it; you are going to find the evidence to put her away."

"But I thought Faith was the one that shot Mann, and she did it to save Cruz's life." Sasha explained.

"Well I don't believe that. I think Cruz shot Mann and Faith helped her cover it up, and I want you to find the evidence to show that."

"Why do you care, Captain Finney, this case is almost two years old! Where do you expect me to find evidence?"

"Do what I say…now go."

Sasha sighed as she walked out of the room. How does he expect her to get evidence for a case that is nearly two years old? This was definitely going to be hard.

Bosco was lying next to Faith on the couch. She looked at him. "This is so nice us being alone together. I love my kids, I'm so happy that they are home with me, but its nice having some alone time," she said, as she put her arms around Bosco. "Even though you are here every night."

"Not every night."

"But nearly every night," Faith said, with a grin.

Bosco looked at Faith, and grabbed a hold of her hand. "Faith, you have been my best friend for 13 years. I knew from the first time that I saw you that I loved you, I just didn't want to admit it. I love you more than I have loved anybody ever before. I never thought I could feel this way, but you've shown me that I can. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Bosco knelt down on the floor. "Faith Mitchell, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

Faith couldn't believe what she just heard, she was shocked that Bosco would ask her this question; she wasn't sure how to react to this.

"Do you think you could get me an answer soon, I don't really want to be kneeling like this forever?" Bosco asked, nervously.

"I… don't know." Faith replied.

"So you are saying no." he asked, sadly, as he stood up.

"I didn't say that." Faith said, her eyes widening. "

Are you sure this is what you want to do, Bosco? I know you aren't the commitment type of person. If this is because your mom wants you to get married-"

Bosco sat down next to Faith. "Faith, this has nothing to do with my mom. If that was true, I would have been married a long time ago. I love you, Faith. I know you're scared about getting married again…but…I won't hurt you like Fred did, you have to believe that.

"I know that Bosco. But we've only been dating for a year now. I don't want you to think you have to rush into marriage."

Bosco grabbed her hand. "What was my longest relationship?" he asked.

She looked at him. "Why are you asking me that?"

"Just answer the question."'

"I think the most was a few months."

"So what does this tell you?"

"Why the hell are you asking me this, Bosco?" Faith asked. "Why does it matter how long your relationships last?"

"For a cop, you can be pretty stupid sometimes." Bosco said, slightly annoyed.

"Faith, I've been with you longer than anyone else…why do you think that is? It's because you are it for me. I never thought I would ever feel this way. I always hear about it, but I thought it was for sissies, who fall in love to easily. Faith…I have never felt with any other woman…how I feel when I'm with you. I don't get this sensitive for just anybody, you know?"

"I like it when your sensitive…it's romantic." she said with a grin.

He put his arms around her. "I love you, Faith."

"I know you do. I just don't want you to think you have to marry me. I love you too, but we don't have to get marry just yet."

"So is that a no."

"I didn't say that. I just want you to be sure this is what you want, I can't go through another divorce."

Bosco tightened his embrace. "I am sure."

She looked up at him. "I guess then we are getting married." she said.

"So that's a yes."

"Yes, Bosco, I'll marry you." she said, as she put her arms around him, and kissed him.
