Title: Sweet Dreams

Disclaimer: I do not own anything like in every story. It gets kind of sad not owning anything either. I do own one character on here and the pack that he/she brings with him/her.

Note: Okie Dokie now I know I took forever to update and stuff but I have a busy life now. Don't worry though, I'm still gonna keep writing. Um . . . I had to go about a couple weeks after the fire but tell you guys what happened and stuff because it was so hard to write. I had writer's block.

So this is the next chapter and I hope you guys enjoy it. Again I'm sorry for not getting this out to you guys sooner but again with the writer's block and busy schedule. If you have any questions for me or would maybe like to help me get this updated sooner then E-mail or AIM me. Thanks.

It had been a month since the fire. That meant that Faith was 32 weeks pregnant or at the end of her seventh month. Allot of stuff had happened after that. Allot of stuff that had changed two people's lives. Bosco TOLD Faith that she was moving into the apartment with him. She didn't want to at first because of their history. Also because she wanted to find a bigger apartment for her and Jacob and stay with her Mom until she could find that. Well, Lydia didn't want Faith to stay with her so she suggested that she stay with Bosco. So she ended up staying with Bosco.

They began looking for a larger apartment for her within hours of the fire. Bosco kept wanting them to move in together so they could take care of their son unison. Faith didn't like that idea at all. She knew that something would happen and she would have to move her and Jacob out and she didn't want to do that. After grilling her about how much money they would save, she agreed to it and they got a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment that was farther from the Precinct but closer to the 55 SWAT House. Didn't make sense to her but she loved the view that they had.

The two had been living together now for two weeks but things had been working out good. They went to outlet stores and found Faith a nice bed then some furniture for her master room and some for Jacob's room. It's been great living together. But some stuff they had to get used to. Like each others living statuses and habits. Bosco likes to wake up around 12:30 when Faith is a rise and shine person. She wakes up around 8:30 and starts her cleaning thing. Turns the vacuum cleaner thing. Or Faith likes to plan out her day and Bosco takes it bit by bit. It's weird.

Also something else that has changed is Faith now works the morning shift. 7:30 to 3:30. Bosco still works his four o'clock to whenever; the SWAT team doesn't really have a schedule like the patrol officers do. They are both making good money but wish that they could make a bit more.

Faith was sitting on the couch with a jar of pickles up on her belly. She was eating them and smiling because she was so amazed on how they were staying there. Bosco was laying on the ground and lifting some of his weights. He glanced over at her when she giggled and shook his head then glanced back at the ceiling as he counted softly in his head. The TV was on and she was watching her favorite show, 'A Baby Story.' He hated that show because he thought the couples were fake but he made the mistake of telling Faith that and she cried so he kept it to himself now.

Just then there was a knock on their door. Bosco put his weights down and walked over to the door and opened it to Rose. "Hey ma." He said and kissed her cheek then let her into the house. She smiled and petted Faith's head then slowly took her coat off. "So, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I thought I'd come and visit my son and the belly." She said in a nervous voice and looked at the pickle jar that was on Faith's stomach. She reached in the jar and took one them began eating it. "Mmm, these are good. These are the only things that I ate when I was pregnant with him."

"No wonder I don't like them." Bosco murmured and sat on the recliner and wiped his face down with the towel and gazed over at his mother and Faith. They were the most important women in his life and he couldn't believe what his life was like now. He was going to have a baby soon.

"Well I wanted to come over and tell you that there are going to be two family reunions, Maurice." Rose said turning to her son with a smile. "The first one is tomorrow and the second one is way after the baby is born. So please say that you guys are going to come. Please."

"That sounds so fun." Faith said sitting up and putting the empty jar on the table. "Oh Bosco it would be so fun to meet all your family. Oh let's go. You have tomorrow off and so do I." She said with a smile and looked back at Rose who was grinning too. "Bosco were going."

"Whatever. We'll go in eat something then leave." He said and shook his head then stood up. "I'm gonna go take a shower." He said and glanced at his mother then went back into his bathroom. Rose sighed and turned to Faith who was watching the birth of the baby on TV.

"Faith that's not what I came over here for actually. I mean there really is a reunion but that's not the big news I came over here for." She glanced up toward the hallway as she heard the water running. "Me and Maurice's father, Anthony got back together last week." Faith's eyes widened. "I know. I don't know what I'm gonna tell him. He's never going to talk to me Faith. I don't want to stress about it. Anthony has changed, allot but Maurice isn't going to believe it. He's going to see it as I am going back to him and. . . I don't know Faith. I'm so lost right now. I need help."

"Rose I can't help you with this." Faith said softly and Rose looked up at her. "I can't. You have to be a Mother and tell him. Maybe that's the problem. Because you always wait for him to find out rather then tell him exactly what's going on." She ran her hand through her hair. "Do it."

She nodded and gave Faith a hug. "I'll do it tomorrow." She said and touched Faith's stomach. "He's going to be there and I want to do this with him there. Anthony really wants to meet you too Faith. I showed him pictures of you and the ultrasound pictures but he wants to meet you."

"All right, I guess I'll meet him tomorrow." She said and put some hair behind her ear. Rose stood up and kissed Faith on the forehead. She walked out of the apartment and closed the door. Faith sighed and shook her head. "Oh Rose." She said softly. "You're so stupid." She added.

About twenty minutes later, Faith was standing at the counter and cutting up some stuff for their dinner. Bosco walked out of his bedroom and walked into the kitchen. He looked at her and smirked then put his arms around her. "Oh . . . Bosco. You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing?" She asked in a chuckle and put the knife down as he held onto her hand and kissed her neck. "Bosco get off me. I'm trying to make dinner." She tried to ram her elbow into his torso but she wasn't that strong. He spun her around and kissed her on the lips. "Bosco stop!"

"Why!" He shouted and grabbed some water. "Damn I can't believe you really want to go to this damn reunion. Faith you're gonna hate it. You know what drunk Italians are like? They tell lame jokes and are always saying stupid shit." He shook his head and looked at what she was making.

"I want to know who you came from."

"You already know who I came from. You just saw the woman who carried me for nine months." He took another sip of his water and leaned against the counter next to Faith. "You look so beautiful today." He said and she rolled her eyes. "You are so rude Faith. Meanie." He pouted.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"I can't believe that I'm going to this stupid thing! I hate family reunions! All it is is a bunch of drunk relatives getting together and saying that they remember each other when they really don't! It's bullshit and I can't believe that I agreed to come along on this thing!" Bosco shouted.

Faith glared over at him and shook her head. She was in the passenger's seat and he was headed to Central Park because they were having it there. He had been bitching the whole morning about how lame this reunion was going to be and how much he didn't want to come. She didn't respond just listened to what he had to say and kept her mouth shut. She wasn't about to stoop down to his level and yell and scream along with him. There had to be one adult living in the house. Bosco defiantly wasn't going to be it so she took that spot to take care of Jacob.

"When we get there Faith, stand by my side! Don't leave with anyone and don't take drinks from them! I don't know what kind of people they are! "He said, shouting like she couldn't hear him even though they were in the same car together. "And. . . Don't tell anyone that you're pregnant."

"It's kind of hard to hide it Bosco." She said and put her hand on her stomach. He grabbed her hand and threw it to her side. "Bosco what the hell is wrong with you?! You're acting like a big jerk and you need to stop because you're getting on my damn nerves!" She shook her head.

"I know that it's hard to hide it but they'll think that you're just fat like all of them. So don't say that you're pregnant because we'll never get out of that place alive." He shook his head and drove up to Central Park and sat there for a minute and looked over at Faith. "Are you ready for this?"

"Yep." She said with a smile and got out of the car. She smiled at all the people that she saw. She saw Rose with her arm around a man and guessed that it was Anthony because they were kissing each other's lips. She glanced at Bosco and he hadn't seen them yet. "Let's rock and roll."

"It's not going to be that easy." He said and put his sunglasses on. Bosco then grabbed Faith and held her close to him. She looked up at his face and shook her head then laced her hand in his to make him feel a little more comfortable. "All right, where the hell is Ma? She better be here."

Just as they were approaching, Rose separated from Anthony's hold and trotted over to them. "I'm so glad that you guys made it." She said and hugged her son then Faith. "I told Gramma Boscorelli about the baby and she can't wait to meet you. Come meet her Faith." She smiled.

"Son of a bitch." Bosco murmured as he followed his mother and Faith. He glanced over to see his father standing there with a Dr. Pepper in his hand. Anthony met his son's gaze and tried to walk towards him but Bosco turned and went over to where his grandmother was and sighed. She was talking to Faith and had both hands on her stomach, telling her about what Bosco used to do when he was a baby. He grabbed his mother by the arm and dragged her away from Faith and his grandmother. "What the hell is Dad doing here? Who the hell invited him?!" He shouted.

"He's a Boscorelli, Maurice." She answered and yanked her arm away from him. "Please don't make a big scene like this. I want this to be a good day for everyone. Please, just reason with him." She rubbed her sons arm. "Now your brother should be coming by soon. Just wait please."

"Whatever." He said and cracked open a soda and took a long sip of it. Bosco glared over at his father who kept glancing at him then Bosco's Uncle Sal. He turned around and looked back at Faith who was staring at him and laughing. He winked at her then glanced over at his cousin's.

"Well, if it isn't Offica Maurice Boscorelli." One of his cousins's, Paulie said as he sipped on some pop. Two others were with him and they were named Matty and Pete. "So you got a girl pregnant huh?" He asked and they all looked over at Faith. "She looks like a fine piece of ass."

"Hey man shut up." He said and softly hit his shoulder. "She's a cop too so watch out." He said and looked down at his shoes then back up at them. "So what are you guys doin' these days? Don't tell me you three are still working at the Pizza Parlor over on 56th." He said with a chuckle.

"Nah man. I'm collectin' unemployment right now because I lost my job at the factory." Pete said looking down at the ground and kicking an invisible rock. "My boss caught me and my girlfriend having sex on the job so he got pissed off and kicked my ass then fired me." They all laughed.

"I've done that once but I got desk duty for a week." Bosco said with a chuckle and glanced over at Faith who was smiling down at his grandmother. "So, Matty. What happened to you man? Last I heard was that you and your girlfriend had a daughter and were gonna get married."

"Oh yeah. She got mad at me because I cheated on her with her best friend and dumped me. She just got married to a doctor last month." He said and shook his head. "My landlord kicked me out last week so I'm stayin' with my Mom." He pointed to his mother and they all nodded.

'Gosh, and I thought I had a bad life.' Bosco thought to himself. 'I guess I shouldn't be taking things for granted now.' He glanced up at the three and took another sip of his pop and put a chip in his mouth. "What about you Paulie? What's goin' on with you and you're life?" He asked.

"Well. I got married to this chick named Maria because we had a baby together. Last month I caught her having an affair with the neighbor's 18-year-old son. My daughter is 10 now and she is out dressing like a whore and I live with my brother. So I have to say that my life sucks."

"Damn. Sorry." Bosco said softly and ran his hand over the back of his neck. "So it looks like you have the best life of us all." Pete said and looked at Bosco up and down. "Your Mom said somethin' about you getting a promotion or somethin'. What is that all about?" Matty asked.

"I got SWAT." He answered and they all nodded. "It's better pay then being a beat cop. I like it because I get action about everyday. I'm regretting when Winter comes because I'm probably gonna have nothing to do but oh well. It's a good payin' job though." He said nodding a little.

The men nodded along and looked at each other. "Ok so what's up with the woman? Like what's the story behind her?" Paulie asked and took a long sip of his soda and threw the can in the garbage. "Are you guys gonna get married or are you just dating? Are you already married?"

"No, no and no." He answered and they raised their eyebrows. "I slept with her and she got pissed at me because I told her that I didn't want a relationship. So she comes back a few months later and tells me that she's pregnant so here we are. We're on good terms though."

"Wow. So you're NOT doing as well as I thought."

Bosco nodded and threw his can in the garbage also. "I'll be back." He said and turned around and stood behind Faith. "I'm gonna get something out of the car." He whispered and she nodded then went back to listening to what his grandmother was saying. He laid a kiss on Sophia's cheek and she smiled at him as he walked off to his car. Bosco was unlocking the door to the driver's side when he looked up and saw Rose and Anthony kissing and smiling at each other. He slammed the door and went to walk towards them when his younger brother came up to him.

"Hey Mo." He said and slapped his hand then hugged him. "Damn I haven't seen you in a long time. What's goin' on with you and that Faith chick? Ma told me that you got her pregnant and stuff? That kind of sucks Mo. You making me an Uncle at such a young age. Thanks allot dude."

"Hush. Move Mikey! I need to see why the hell Ma is hanging all over Dad." He said and pushed his brother aside then began walking swiftly towards them. Faith saw him walking towards his parents and got up then stood in front of him. He stopped and looked at her. "What is it Faith?"

"Um . . . Nothing." She said and put her arms around him. "You're grandmother is telling some wild jokes about you. Why don't you come and sit with us?" He shook his head and tried to get out of her hold but she tightened him and kissed his lips softly. "Let's just hold each other, Bos."

"In a minute!" He shouted and moved her aside then stomped towards them and nudged his mother's arm. "What the fxxk is going on?!" He shouted and she looked at the ground. "When were you going to tell me about this, Ma?!" He glared up at his father. "You can do better, Ma!"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Anthony asked and threw his cup down on the ground then took a step toward his son. Rose stood in the space between the two men and looked up at her son with a nervous look. "Maurice you better watch what you say! I will kick your ass, boy!"

"Yeah I bet you like that! Does he beat you every chance that he gets Ma?!" He asked and she gasped then slapped him. Bosco looked at her with widened eyes. "Oh my baby. I'm sorry." She said and reached for him but he backed up and turned around. "Maurice! Please I'm sorry honey!"

"Let's go." He said softly to Faith and grabbed her hand and started off towards his car. She had her hand on her stomach and was trying to keep up with him. "Bos." She said when she saw that his face was red. She sighed and opened the passenger's door and got in then looked at him.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"I always thought that we'd all make it. I mean hearing what all my cousin's do, is kind of sad."

Faith ran her hand up Bosco's arm then down his cheek. She was laying on her side and facing him and he was doing the same. He had his hand on her bare belly and was looking at his fingers. It was 10 o'clock at night and they were tired from the day that they had so they decided to get in bed and talk. They'd been talking about some stuff for about thirty minutes. She had taken him out for dinner since they didn't stay long enough to eat the barbecue. So she took him to his favorite restaurant and let him talk about anything that he wanted to talk about. Anything and everything.

"Well, Bos aren't you glad that you got to go there smelling like a rose?" She asked and put her fingertip on his lips and he kissed them softly. "You are on the SWAT team. They're . . . living with their mothers. Why do you feel so bad at the accomplishments that you've made for yourself?"

He shrugged and turned his head to kiss her hand again. "I just feel bad. Mikey smelled like weed today when he hugged me. It was weird, he smelled like straight weed. Then I find out that my Mom and Dad are seeing each other and it's like a big slap in the face for me. I hate this shit."

"I know." She whispered and rubbed his cheek with her thumb and gazed close into his eyes. "I wish I could take your pain away because it hurts me and Jake to see you like this." She leaned in a little closer so their faces were inches apart. "Next week, we should take him to the Zoo."

"The Zoo?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and looked down at his hand as he felt his son move within his Mother. Faith was nodding with a smile upon her face. He put his hand on her cheek and she grinned. "Gosh Faith, I . . . ." His voice trailed off. "I wish I could make love to you."

"Oh Bos." She said softly and turned her head so she was looking up at the ceiling. "Please don't start tonight. I'm still not ready but when I am, you'll be the one that I come to." She leaned in and kissed his lips then he deepened the kissed and moved on her. "Ooo watch the belly."

"Sorry." He whispered with a chuckle and she put her forehead against his and laughed. Bosco let out a sigh and stared into her eyes. She ran her lips over his. "I can't wait for our boy to come." He said in a soft voice and touched her bare tummy. "I want to hold him and love him so bad."

"Me too." She said with a smile and ran her hand through his hair and kissed him softly. "So . . . . All the people that are gonna be with me when I have him are you, my Mom and Sasha?" She asked and he shrugged with a nod and she did too. "I kind of wanted Rose there but that's out."

"Gosh I'm so mad at her." He said and rolled over onto his side and put his hand on his forehead. "I wanted to lash out when she hit me. I mean how could you hit your own son over the man that used to abuse you?! What if he's still hitting her?! What if he kills her this time, Faith?!"

"Let's not talk about this. Let's not." She said and sat up and took a sip of her water. "Let's talk about something happy, something about our baby boy. Let's make guesses about how big we think he's going to be. You pick two that you want to stay with and I'll pick two. You go first."

He let out a sigh and thought about it for a second. "With the size of your belly . . . . I'll say . . . . 6 pounds, 13 ounces and 17 inches long." He paused and looked at her expression. "My other thought is the max. and I think he'll be 7 pounds and 4 ounces. Maybe . . . . 19 inches long."

"Wow. Tiny baby." She said and laid her hand on her stomach then twisted her mouth. "Ok I think he'll be 7 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 inches long." He nodded a little and looked down at her stomach where Jacob was moving around inside. "Then 8 pounds, 12 ounces, 21 inches."

"Whoa." He said and brought her into a kiss and rubbed her cheek. "I want him to be the healthiest baby that has ever been born." He smiled and cleared his throat. "Faith . . . Do you think we'll ever have any more kids together? I mean do you ever think about us in the future?"

She smiled softly and touched his torso. "Actually Bos. I do. I see us in about four years, married in a nice house. Me pregnant with our second child and Jake running around and doing the stuff that you do. I want us to be like that Bosco. We just have a long way to go. Ok babe?" She asked.

"Yeah." He answered softly and laid a kiss on her lips then closed his eyes and put his arm around her. She did the same thing and fell asleep just as quickly as he did.
