The man sitting across from Bosco reviewed his notes. Other shrinks made him nevouse but this one seemed to be differednt. Maybe it was because he looked like hippy and talked to him like he wasn't like twelve.

"Tell me about your wife?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything. What attracted you to her. How she makes you feel. How she feels about your past. What ever you want to tell me."

"We met at work. She was a US Mashall attached to our squad after 9/11. It was love at first fight for both of us I think."

"First fight?"

"Yeah. I insulted her like two seconds after we met and we've been together ever since." Bosco looked down at his shoes. "She makes me want to get up in the morning and do things I never thought possible. Like being a father. She knew it scared the hell out of me but it's made me a better peson. I love that little girl more then anything.. Even knowing how my dad was she wasn't afraid to have a kid with me."

"Why now after so long has your issues with your father come up? You daughter's nearly a year old, you've been married two."

"I don't know. I guess one day I was watching them, Seajae and Angle and I thought to myself how could I be so lucky. Then wonder if my dad ever sat looking at my mom and me when I was a baby. Or did he always want to hurt us." Bosco looked at Dr. Laurence. "I just need to know what turned my dad the way he is so I can avoid it."

"And they sex?" Bosco smiled.

"Gettin' a little personal arn't you doc?"

"It helps determan an onslot of different problems."

"She totally rocks my world. I hope to say I do the same for her."

"So do you think you or her use that attraction to avoid conversation and confrontation?"

"Are you asking if we fuck more then we talk?"

"Yeah and instead of starting a fight do you enishiate sex to avoid confrotation."

"Not on a regular basis. We do talk..aot . I mean I think we know eachother better then a lot of pople who get married." Bosco leaned back and closed his eyes. "I never thought it was possible to love another human being like I lover her, She completes me."

"So your personal life is stable, Your work life is on an even kiel, I know you have a temper but it seems you've been pretty good about keeping that under controle lately." Dr. Laurence watched Bosco at the window. "Does your wife have a temper?"

"Oh yeah. But she takes it out her anger on her cell phones. We've gone though seven so far this year. But that's the extent of it. She gets mad, throws the phone and it's over."

"Did she grow up in violence?" Bosco turned to face Laurence.

"No. She grew up in hell."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning her family was killed by a psycopath. She grew up in foster homes and bording schools. No one taught her how to love the way she does." Bosco turned back toward the window. "She was just in a different kind of hell then I was."

"Does she have issues?"

"Surprisingly, no. She's really well ajusted."

"Does she treat you daughter good?"

"Yeah. She grew up with a lot of kids in and out of her life. I think sometimes she thinks someones going to snach her away from us."

"You seem to have a handle on things Maurice. An an awsome out look on your life now." Laurence leaned forward. "I read your IA file." Bosco looked surprised. "It took me awhile to wade though the bull shit. You were pretty recless a few years back. Even border line physcotic if you don't mind me saying."

"Thanks Doc." Bosco laughed.

"You've come a long way since then. I think with a love of a good woman anthing is possible. With the support the two of you have, you'll move moutains." Laurence stood up. "I'm here when ever you need to talk Maurice, remember that."

"Are you cutting me loose Doc."

"You came on your own this time. But I think you got a handle on the problems steming from your fathers abuse. I really do."

"Thanks Doc. You really are easy to talk to." Bosco left the office wistling a happy tune.

Seajae was moving furniture when Bosco got home. She looked up and smiled at him when he opened the door. "Hey sexy, you want to help an old lady move some stuff."

"MMM I want some of this old ladies stuff." He came up to her and kissed her. "Where' the kids?"

"Angle's sleeping, Kelly's gone for the day." Bosco stated unbotting his wifes shirt.

"Good." He kissed her lips, her neck and downward as he unbottened more of her shirt.

"Maurice Boscorelli what has gotten into you."

"Nothing I just want to have a little afternoon delight with my wife." He looked in her eyes. "Got a problem with that?"

"Not a single one..." She moaned as he laid her on the couch and continued kissing her as he undid her jeans.

"I didn't think you would."
