His mom's apartment was just above the bar. It was closer to the
hospital and he didn't want his little girl to see her mother like this.
Bosco laid her down on the bed and stripped the bloody clothes off her.
She had past out in the car about a block from the hospital, sobbing she
was sorry, Over and over. He wrapped her in a blanked and went to throw
her closths in the garbage and call his mom. The phone rang twice before
Angela picked up.
"Hey Ma."
"What's wrong?"
"You can tell by two words that somethings wrong?"
"Your tone Maurice. Are you okay?"
"Yeah ma."
"Seajae?"
"Yeah but she had a hard time tonight. It's Sully, Ma. They don't know if he's going to make it."
"Oh Baby. Is Seajae going to be okay?"
"I don't know ma. We're at your place. I got the key from Nicky. It was closer to the hospital."
"That's fine. Angle is fine. She's been the best baby all day."
"Thanks ma. If you need anything Caleb is right next door and you know where I am."
"Take care of your wife baby, don't worry about us." Bosco hung up the phone. He heard the shower running. Seajae must of woke up. He made a call to the hospital to let them know where they were and then went to check on his wife. She was on the floor of the shower. Bruises has started to form where she had hit the floor with Sully. Here eyes puffy and red. He grabbed a towel from the shelf and turned the water off. He wrapped her up and carried to the bed.
"Talk to me Seajae. I need to know your okay."
"I'm not okay." She pressed herself closer to he husband. "I'm sorry. I just can' seem to get warm," He pulled the blankets over her. "Will I ever get warm again Bosco." Her eyes were pleading.
"Soon baby. We'll do what ever it takes." The phone rang and Bosco picked it up. Jimmy was on the other end.
"He's out of surgery. It was touch and go for a while but he's doing okay." Jimmy wasn't sure if he should ask about Seajae.
"Okay, we'll talk later." Bosco paused and looked at his wife who had fallen back to sleep. "Hey Jimmy, if anyone wants to know she's in pretty bad shape. If Sully wakes up, don't let anyone tell him,"
"Okay. I'll call when I know more. And Bosco.."
"Yeah."
"Take it one step at a time man."
"I will. Thanks." Bosco turned to his wife. Her right hand was bruised where she made contact with Christopher's face. He should get some ice for some of the swelling but she was already so cold. He gathered her in his arms and held her tight, trying to hold back the demons that were upsetting her world.
*****
Sully felt the hand holding his. He struggled to open his eyes. He knew it was Tatianne. He knew her soft touch and her sweet smell. She was wispering somthing he couldn't make out. Seajae had begged him not to die. Because Tatianna had a secret. Something so important that God and Seajae wouldn't let him go. He tighted his hold on his wifes hand letting her know he was still among the living.
*****
Seajae woke up screaming. Fighting agaist the covers. She slamed her body hard agiast Bosco's trying to out run the demon chasing her. "Seajae honey wake up." He tryed to shake her wake without being knocked out by the blows she was throwing. "Seajae!" She sat bolt upright in bed. Sweat puring sown her face, hands clenching the sheets. Her breathing was labored like she couldn't quit catch it. "Breath baby."
"Sully!?"
"He's okay. Still in a coma but the doctor's are hopefull for a full recovery. You did good Seajae. Real good. Kim and Alex said you did everything right."
"Except stop him from going into that building."
"You had orders."
"Ones my gut were protesting along with Sully's."
"They got the factory. That's what we all wanted. To get those things off the street at any cost."
"I guess. Just I wish Sully handn't paid the price."
"It will all be okay." He pulled her close. "I swear. Should we call Laurence?"
"Maybe. Just hold me now and tell me how much you love me and how you can't live without me."
"I can do that. I would do anything to prove how much I love you. I would walk to the ends of the earth. I would climb the highest mountain. Swim the deepest sea just to be with you."
"A little corney but it will do." She kissed her husband and thanked God for bringing her this man and keeping him so in love with her. "Can we go to the hospital and see Sully?"
"Sure. Grab something of Ma's. I threw your stuff away."
"She won't mind?"
"You know she won't" Seajae got up and opened the closet.
"My god your mom's got more clothes then Macy's"
"She never gets rid of anything. I will bet good money that she still has her maternity clothes." She found jeans and a t-shirt and slipped them on. She turned to see Bosco ting shoes that didn't belong to him.
"She save your stuff too?"
"Ex's. She got a spare room full of men' shit too. Everthing any man who spent the night has left it's in there." He came up behind her. She was putting her hair in a pony tale but her right arm was having a hard time making it to her head, "Here, let me."
"What do you know about putting hair up?"
"Do ya think Angle sprouts those little things on her head herself?"
"I just figured Kelly did it." She smiled. "You?"
"Don't look so surpised." He tightened her hair and wraped his arms around her, laying his chin on her shoulder. "I love you Seajae. With every fiber of my being. With every breath I take. I love you." He sqeezed her tightly. "I can't live without this every day, so don't make me."
"Not now, not ever. I will always be here for you Bosco. I know I scared you tonight. Hell I scared myself. I don't want that happening again." She turned in his arms and kissed him. "Thank you for being here for me now and always. I love you Maurice Boscorelli, body and soul."
"We better get going befor it gets too late." He threw her a leather jacket and grabed a coat from the closet and headed down stairs. Nicky was catering to a bar full of about eight people.
"I don't know if it's the weather or the patrole car you conviently parked in front of the building Bosco."
"Oh man I'm sorry. I wasn't even thinking. You weren't open when I got here."
"Don't sweat it. The owners a pretty resonable broad." Nicky smiled. "I'm sure she'll figure something out."
"You know she's at my place if you need her."
"Yeah. Take care Maurice, Seajae."
"Bye Nicky."
******
The streets we nearly deserted for ten o'clock on a fridat night but of course there was twelve inches of snow on the ground. It only took five minutes to get to the hospital the way Bosco was driving. Of course he did use the lights and sirens.
"They let you take the squad?"
"Well yeah. It seems some hot headed detective broke the Sargents nose and he didn't want another Boscorelli confrontation today.'
"I broke his nose." Seajae cringed. "First his nuts now his nose. I can really scew things up can't I?"
"No more then me baby, no more then me."
*****
Tatianna and Ty were sitting outside Sull's room. When she saw Seajae she stood up and hugged her.
"Are you alright?"
"I should be asking you. Tatianna I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault. John has told me how you pushed him out of the way." She hugged Seajae again. "I was so worried about you. Jimmy told me how sad you'd become."
"Tatianna, I'm fine. How's Sully?"
"He is in and out of it." Tatianna held her hand. "He wants to see you."
"I"m sorry I told him...." She smiled.
"You saved him. You did what you had to do to get him to fight. I'm so proud you are our friend." She wiped the tears from Seajae's face. "Go now. See John so he knows you are alright." Seajae looked at Bosco.
"It's alright baby. Go to him." She opened the door. Sully turned to see her.
"Hey Sunshine." He raised his hand, Seajae reached for it and st in the chair next to him. "No more tears." He sqeezed her hand.
"I'm sorry Sully."
"For what? You saved my life. You kept me fighting."
"Your the closest thing to a father I ever had, If that makes you feel old then so be it." Seajae sqeezed his hand. "I lost it today Sully." She looked into his eyes.. "I really lost it big time."
"You had a normal reaction to something you's never expeirenced before. When someone you care about comes that close to dieing." She knew Sully was right. She had know all along.
"You need your rest. We'll bring Angel by tomorrow okay. I love you Sully" Seajae leaned over and hugged them. "Sweet dreams John."
******
It was late when Bosco and Seajae finally made it home. It had been a long couple of days and they both needed sleep. Seajae sat on the bed, legs crossed in front of her. Bosco had taken a shower and was tucking Angle into bed after waking her up to say hi. He came patting back to bed fifteen minutes later.
"I could sleep for a week."
"I could sleep for a month."
"You always have to be one up with me."
"Always. It's my job."
"You okay, I mean about today."
"My demons are all put to rest. I know why I cracked tonight. Sully just confirmed it." Seajae snuggled close to her husband. "I love you Bosco."
"Love you to." He kissed her. And like the old married couple they were becoming, snuggled under the covers and went to sleep.
"Hey Ma."
"What's wrong?"
"You can tell by two words that somethings wrong?"
"Your tone Maurice. Are you okay?"
"Yeah ma."
"Seajae?"
"Yeah but she had a hard time tonight. It's Sully, Ma. They don't know if he's going to make it."
"Oh Baby. Is Seajae going to be okay?"
"I don't know ma. We're at your place. I got the key from Nicky. It was closer to the hospital."
"That's fine. Angle is fine. She's been the best baby all day."
