                        A Third Watch Fanfiction.

                                Fears

"Faith, are you okay? said Bosco

" Yeah"

" What about you? said Faith

" I think I'm fine." said Bosco, not noticing the blood dripping through his shirt.

" Bosco you're bleeding" said Faith. Then Bosco fell to the dirty floor

" Bosco, can you hear me? " said Faith.

" Please Bosco, don't leave me" said Faith, who was starting to get scared for her partner.

Faith then radioed Doc. "We have two people down" Faith went over to Kim and saw that she had been shot too. "Doc, we have two gunshot victims".

Doc and Taylor showed up about 10 mins later.

" What happen here? said Doc

" Me and Bosco found Kim, and Paulie had a gun and he shot at us" said Faith.

Doc went and checked Kim out.

" We've got to get Kim to the hospital, before she dies. She has lost a lot of blood, and         it looks like the bullet has hit her spine.

" Oh" said Faith

" What about Bosco?" said Faith, who was worried about her partner.

Taylor checks Bosco out. " Bosco was shot in the shoulder, it doesn't look bad, but we won't know until we can get him to the hospital. Since Kim is in more critical condition, me and Doc will take her to the hospital, and a ambulance is on the way for Bosco" said Taylor

" Thanks a lot," said Faith

" Don't worry Faith, Bosco will make it " said Taylor

" Yeah," said Faith, who wouldn't feel happy until she knew Bosco was out of danger.

Faith, then phoned Fred to tell him that she would be late coming home.

" Hi, Fred, its Faith"

" Hi" said Fred

" I'm going to be late tonight, as Bosco has gotten shot and I need to be with him.

"Doesn't he have any family? said Fred, who was getting angry that Bosco meant so much to Faith.

" I'm like family to him" said Faith.

" I've got to go, the ambulance is here"

" Don't wait up for me"

" I won't" said Fred

As Faith was leaving, Ty and Sully were coming in.

" So where's the suspect " said Ty

" He's right over there, " said Faith, pointing to a dead body.

" There's no need to arrest him, he's dead. When he fired the bullets at us, Bosco shot Paulie, just as Bosco got shot" said Faith.

" Oh, I'm sorry," said Ty, who knew how much Bosco meant to Faith. It was like my relationship with Sully. I don't know what I would do if something ever happen to Sully. thought Ty.

" I'm sure he'll be fine" said Ty.

'  I've got to go be with Bosco, before the ambulance leaves without me" said Faith

" Sure" said Ty

Jimmy was reading a bedtime story to Joey when the telephone rang.

" Hi, Jimmy, this is Sully, we've found Kim"

" That's great," said a relived Jimmy

" Jimmy, I hate to tell you this, but Kim was shot, and is in critical condition"

" Oh" said Jimmy

" Thanks for finding her, Sully" said Jimmy

" Actually, Bosco and Faith found her" said Sully

" Bosco was shot too, but he doesn't look serious."

"Oh" said Jimmy

"I've got to go"

Jimmy, then phoned the babysitter to look after Joey.

Not Kim thought Jimmy.

***

Faith was waiting in the waiting area, while the doctors checked Bosco out.

A doctor then came out.

Faith shot out of her chair like her chair was on fire.

" How's Bosco" said Faith

" Are you his wife?" said the doctor

" No, I just work with him"

" Since, you aren't family, I can't give you any information" said the doctor

" Do you see anybody else here worrying about him? said Faith

" I 'm like family to him," said Faith

" Okay, fine" said the doctor

" He was shot in the shoulder, it doesn't look serious but because he is unconscious we have to take him to get an MRI to make sure there's no brain damage.

" Okay" said Faith

***

On the way, to see Kim, all Jimmy could think of was the bad things he has done to Kim.

Why did I have to take Joey from her?

What happens if he never sees Kim again?

No, I can't think like that thought Jimmy

When he got to the hospital, he saw Faith waiting in the waiting area.

" Hey, Faith, I heard about Bosco, I'm sorry" said Jimmy

" Do you know where Kim is? said  Jimmy

" I think she's in the ER," said Faith

" Thanks " said Jimmy, who rushed off to see her.

When he finally found Kim, her couldn't believe how she looked. A doctor came out of her room.

" Hi, I'm Dr. Mendez"

" May I help you?"

" I'm her ex- husband"

" How is she?

" We have to do surgery, but since the bullet is so near the spine, we have to be careful"

" Okay"

" Please help," said Jimmy

" We will," said Dr. Mendez

***

About a hour later,

The doctor came to tell Faith that the MRI showed no abnormality, but if Bosco doesn't wake up soon he might be in trouble.

Faith was sitting by Bosco's bedside.

" Bosco, why do you have to be a hero all the time"

" You always like to save someone"

" But who can save you? said Faith

" Bosco, I need you, I don't think I can handle it if you left me, please wake up.

Bosco then opened his eyes.

" Faith, why do you have to be so dramatic?"

" Bosco, you're awake" shouted Faith

" The doctors were worried about you since you had woken up yet"

" Faith, I would never leave you, you should know that!

" I know Bosco"

" Is Kim okay?"

" No, she's in critical condition, the bullet hit her spine,

" Oh, no" said Bosco

" Faith, shouldn't you be home with Fred and the kids" said Bosco

" No, I'm going to stay here with you," said Faith

The doctor entered,

" I see my patient is awake"

" Yeah"said Bosco

" When can I leave?" said Bosco

" In a few days" said the doctor

" What, I'm not staying here for a few days" said Bosco

" Well, you have too" said the doctor

" Fine " said Bosco.

***

Meanwhile Jimmy and Kim's mom were still waiting to her word on Kim, she has been in surgery for almost 6 hours.

When finally, Dr Mendez came out.

" The surgery went well, there were no complications. We just have to wait until she wakes up.

" Miss Zamrbro, you can go see your daughter now"

" Thanks"

After Kim's mom had seen Kim, Jimmy went inside.

Jimmy sat by Kim's bedside.

" Kim come on, wake up" said Jimmy

" Don't leave me and Joey"

Then Kim opened her eyes.

" Jimmy………what are you doing here? said Kim

" You were shot" said Jimmy

" What do you remember?" said Jimmy

" Paulie shooting at us "

" Oh my god, is Bosco okay?"

" Yeah"

Jimmy then called the doctor to tell them that Kim was awake.

" Hey Ms. Zamrbro" said Dr Mendez

" How am I?" said a worried Kim

" We have to do some tests, and then we will know"

" Just get some rest"

" Can you feel your toes?

"  What about your hands"

" Yeah"

" That's great, it looks like the bullet didn't paralyze you"

" Just get some rest"

" Thanks, doctor"

**

The next day, Jimmy was sitting by Kim's bedside while Kim slept. She looks so peaceful thought Jimmy. She has been though so much these past years, Bobby's death, her suicide attempt, me trying to take custody of Joey, and now getting kidnapped by Paulie, at least Paulie is dead now.

" No, Paulie, don't shoot me" said Kim

" Kim, it's okay, it's all over " said Jimmy

Then Kim woke up.

" Are you okay?" said Jimmy

" Jimmy, what happens if Paulie finds me" said Kim

" Kim, Paulie is dead, the nightmare is over" said Jimmy

" I'm going to leave you to get some sleep," said Jimmy

" Don't leave, Jimmy

" I'm scared'

" I'll never leave you Kim, Jimmy then curled up to Kim, as she went to sleep.

The End.

I hope you all like that story.
