"I know you're both concerned about the bleeding but it is normal." Dr. White said as he took his rubber glove off his hand. "Not all moms bleed when their water breaks but it happens for some."

"So she's defiantly in labor?" Lydia asked.

"Yes ma'am. And she looks to be about two centimeters dilated so sit tight... this is gonna be a while."

"Thank you." Faith mumbled as he nodded and left the room. "Did you get a hold of Bos?"

"No honey he hasn't answered."

"Well... try the station." She said, arching her back a little. "Oh gawd!" She breathed and looked up at her mother. "I don't think I can do this mom!"

"Honey listen to me! Now I know you've been through a lot in the past couple of years. With daddy and Fred and everything! I know you're a strong girl and you're going to get through this! Women do this everyday and have been doing it for thousands of years! You are no different! Now you just breathe baby! Breathe!"

Faith nodded as she stared deep into her mother's eyes. The door opened and Rose popped her head through. "Is Maurice here yet?" She asked as she walked in.

"No. We can't get a hold of him." Lydia said, holding her daughter's hand.

"Yeah I left a couple messages on his phone after you called me." She looked down at Faith who was trying to breathe through her contraction. "So everything's ok? Nothing is wrong with the baby then?"

"Yep, Dr. White just said that it was normal. Some women bleed when their water breaks."

"I didn't." She said in a low voice to Lydia.

"Neither did I but maybe it's stress." She whispered back and looked down at Faith as the contraction ended. "Good job baby. You did great."

"I need Bos! I need Bosco! NOW!" Faith screamed and closed her eyes tight as she laid back on the bed. "Where is he?! Why doesn't he want to be here for our baby?!"

"Don't say that honey! He does want to be here!" Rose said and rubbed her head. "He just may be out on a call or something. You know he's working today."

"Yeah..." She slowly nodded and looked up at her mother. "I don't want him to miss this."

"I will call him again honey." Rose said and walked over to the window and got his cell phone out.


Bosco's phone began ringing but with all the commotion, no one could hear it.

"10-13! 10-13! I got an officer down!" Matthew called as he and two other ESU officer's ran down the stairs of the old abandoned building, carrying someone. There were shots being fired from upstairs where they were coming from. "I need a bus on a rush at this location! I repeat! 10-13! ESU is under attack! We have an officer down! I need a bus and PD back-up!"

"55-Charlie is a block away! We're responding!"

Matthew and the two others ran out of the building and were greeted with gunfire from some perpetrators. He dropped the fallen officer on the ground and began shooting back. "ESU is under heavy fire central! We need back-up forthwith!"

"10-4!"

Sully raced down the street and could see some shooters in the middle of the street, firing at the three members of the ESU team so he stepped on the gas and hit one of the men who was shooting. Davis quickly got out of the car and started shooting at the other gunmen then jumped over the RMP to take cover. Matthew and the two others were shooting at the last gunmen who had took refuge by a large garbage bin.

"Sullivan! It's Bosco! We need to get him out of here!" Matthew screamed as he drug his friend by the collar of his shirt.

"55 Charlie to Central! We have an ESU officer down! We need a bus here on a rush! And where the hell is our back-up?!"

Davis hit the second gunmen in the head and he stumbled to the ground. The last one took off running so the two ESU members ran after him. Matthew dropped his gun and threw Bosco over his shoulder. "We need to get him to a hospital!"

"Stay here and secure the scene!" Sully shouted to the other officers as they arrived.

"55-Charlie to Central, cancel that bus! We are transporting the officer ourselves! Tell Mercy Hospital that we are about three minutes out!"

"Go! Go! Go!" Matthew shouted from the backseat as he looked down at Bosco. "Son of a bitch!"

"What the hell happened up there?!" Sully asked as he dipped through city streets.

"Serving a warrant with Narcotics and it went blew up in our faces!" Matthew pushed his hand against Bosco's neck and thigh to try and stop the bleeding. "Bosco was the first one in like always... he just didn't see the gun behind the door!" He shook his head. "Faith is gonna kill me! Oh my gawd... she's gonna kill me!"

"Calm down he's gonna be fine!" Davis shouted and looked back at Bosco. He heard a low ringing noise and grabbed his cell phone from his front pocket. "Who's phone is that coming from?!"

"Not mine!" Sully said as he checked his cell phone.

"Mine either!" Matthew said and looked down at Bosco and grabbed the phone from his pocket. "Oh my gawd..." He looked at the other two. "It's Faith's phone..."

"Don't answer!" Sully shouted.

"Why not!? What if she's in labor?!"

"What does it matter?! If you answer she's gonna know something's wrong! If no one answers she'll think that he's on a call or something! Don't answer it!"

The two officers looked at each other and Matthew put the phone in his pocket and shoved his hand back on Bosco's neck as they arrived at Angel of Mercy Hospital. "Open the door!" He shouted and they carried Bosco to the waiting gurney that the nurses had. "He's got two gunshot wounds! One in the neck and thigh!"

"Next time you need to wait for the ambulance!" Dr. Hickman shouted.

"There wasn't any time!" Davis shouted back.

"Well, I guess the blood will be on your hands if this officer dies then!" She turned around and ran into the hospital after the nurses.

The three looked at each other and ran in behind her. Matthew stood in front of the doors to the trauma room where Bosco was being worked on. He let out a sigh as he watched them cut his gear off and throw it on the ground. "I need to call Faith!"

"Just wait a little while until we know what's going on!" Sully replied.

"No... She deserves to know what's going on! I know she would want to know!" He looked down at the phone and began walking down the hallway.

"I don't know what I'm gonna tell Officer Yokas." He heard and turned around to see Mary Proctor and a couple nurses talking as they scrambled with paper work at the nurses station. "We should send someone up there to let her know.

Matthew trotted over to the desk. "She's here?!" He said and they all looked up at him. "Faith Yokas is here?!"

"Yeah she was brought in about an hour ago. She was in labor." Proctor said and looked at Matthew. "She's in room L202 upstairs in labor and delivery."

Before she got out her last word, Matthew bolted down the hallway to the stairway. He skipped a couple stairs as he raced to the third floor. The door flew open as he came through a couple doctors and nurses looked at him oddly. He walked down the hallway, looking at the room numbers then stopped when he came to room L202. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. He pulled the curtain back and saw Faith, Lydia and Rose in the room. The three women looked over at him when he entered.

"Bos?!" Faith cried, closing her eyes tight.

"No Faith it's me." Matthew said softly and she opened her eyes. "How are you doing?"

"Where's Maurice?!" Rose asked.

He looked over at her, knowing it was Bosco's mother. Matthew looked back over at Faith and took a deep breath. "He's downstairs... He was shot."

Faith immediately began crying when she heard his words. She buried her face in her mother's chest and squeezed her hand. Rose was crying as she looked at the front of Matthew's clothes that still had Bosco's blood soaked through them. "The doctors are with him now. He's gonna be all right." Matthew added.

"I wanna see him." Faith said as she pulled the covers back.

"No! Faith you can't go anywhere!" Lydia said and laid the covers back over her daughter.

"I need to see him! I need to tell him that I love him!"

"Nothings going to happen to him Faith! You can tell him later! You're having a baby right now!"

"There might not be a later!" She cried.

"Don't think like that Faith! He's Bosco!" Matthew said and walked over to the bed and grabbed her by the hands. "He told me before we left for this call about how much he cared about you and Jake. He loves you a lot and knows he messed up. The last thing he said about you guys was that he wanted to make things right. He wanted to see you and talk to you and tell you that he messed up and wanted to be with you and only you! He knows what he has to fight for! He's not gonna give up on you two!"

She stared into his eyes and nodded then laid back in the bed and held her stomach as she had another contraction. Matthew watched her then looked over at Rose who was also crying then walked out of the room to find out how his friend was doing.
