The only character I own is Kaitlyn McCoy. This chapter begins the morning after the last chapter left off.

Enjoy……



It's 11:30 a.m. and Carlos just arrived at the firehouse w/ Kylie in hand, ready for work.

"Doc, Have you seen Kaitlyn?"

"Yeah, she's upstairs, what is Kylie doing here, you're coming to work aren't you?" (he says in a concerned and irritated way)

"Yes, I am, Kaitlyn is watching Kylie for me, until I can find a cheap babysitter." (in this matter of factly way!, then runs upstairs to find Kaitlyn so he can get ready for work)

"By the way, you're late Carlos."

"I know, I know."

(now upstairs)

"Kaitlyn…"

"I'm in here." (her voice came from the bunk room, where she was at her locker getting dressed)

(Carlos walks in there)

"Hey." (he sets Kylie's carrier on the bed next to his locker.)

"Hey Carlos."

(Kaitlyn finishes getting dressed and walks over to the bed)

"Hi Kylie……..how are you?" (she picked her up from her carrier and held her, making funny faces at her and giggling)

"She's already had a nap but she might need one later."

"Okay, when was the last time she ate?"

"Um…….like 45 minutes ago…..she should be okay for a little longer."

"Alright, I was thinking about taking her to the park………is that okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine, she loves the park!" (smiles and gives Kylie a funny face and tickles her tummy!)

(Kylie smiles and laughs!)

(a call comes in on the radio)

"55-Adam we have a 10-32 at the corner of 6th Street and Hill"

"Carlos, let's go."….."This is 55-Adam responding to the 10-32 at 6th and Hill." (Doc radio's in)

(Carlos grabs his bag and runs down stairs to the bus, Kaitlyn and Kylie follow after)



(Bosco and Faith drive by the station house on their way to patrol, when Bosco see's Kaitlyn he pulls over to talk to her.)

"Is there anything else I should know Carlos?

"Her meds are in the bag, other than that, I think you're good to go." (throwing his bag in the back and then giving Kylie a goodbye kiss) "Bye Kylie, Daddy'll see you tonight, okay!" (he then hops into the passenger side of the bus and they take off)

(both Faith and Bosco get out to talk to her)

"Hi Kaitlyn."

"Hi Bosco, Hi Faith, how are you?"

"Good, and you?" (Bosco says, giving her a weird look for carrying a baby, let alone Carlos's baby)

"I'm just fine."

"Is this little Kylie?" (faith says tickling her and making her laugh!)

"Yep, this is Kylie!"

"Who would've guessed that the spawn of Carlos would be so cute!!" (Bosco says with a hint of sarcasm)

(Both Faith and Kaitlyn look at him and giggle!)

"Are-you-and-Carlos……..? (Faith says with a weird look)

"What, NO, hell no……..I mean he's a good guy and all, but I'm just helping him take care of Kylie…….it's hard being a single parent."

(Bosco and Faith look at each other and then at Kaitlyn, Kylie starts crying)

"Well, I better get going, she looks hungry."

"Alright……we'll see you later." (Faith says then turns and walks towards the squad, while Bosco helps Kaitlyn get Kylie in her car)

"Thanks Bosco."

"No problem……..hey would you maybe want to do something after your shift tomorrow?"

"You got the day off?"

"Yeah."

"Me too!"

"That's cool! Would you want to go to lunch or something?"

"I'd love to, here's my number." (pulls out a pen and paper and writes down her number)

"Thanks, I'll give you call in the morning."

"Sounds good, but not too early, I go for a 5 mile run every morning."

"Really, that's amazing, I'll be lucky if I can run 2 miles a day!!"

"You should come running with me tomorrow, it'll be fun."

"Um……I don't know, I'm gonna be pretty tired."

"Come one………I have to bring Kylie back here at 11:30 tonight, we can talk about it more then!"

"Fine, I give!!" (smiles and throws his hands up like he gives up!)

(Kaitlyn gets in the drivers seat)

"Alright, see you then!" (she says as she drives away)

"Yep!"

it's 11:30 p.m. and Kaitlyn is outside of the precinct leaning on Bosco's car, she just dropped Kylie off with Carlos, and she notices Bosco walking out with Davis and Sully

"This is a sweet car!"

"I know!" (grins)

"How was work?"

"Slow……….you wanna go get a drink, a non-alchoholic drink!!" (he says sarcastically!)

"Sure!"

"Get in, I'll take you to my mom's bar."

(they both get in the car and drive to Angela Boscorelli's bar, they walk in and Bosco gives his mom a hug and a kiss)

"Hey ma!"

"Hi Maurice!"

"Ma, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine, this is Kaitlyn McCoy, Kaitlyn this is my mom Angela!"

"Hi, it's nice to meet you!" (they shake hands)

"It's nice to meet you too! She's very pretty and sweet too!"

(Kaitlyn blushes)

"Ma!" (he looks at her and smiles, she smiles back)

"What can I get you two?"

"Um…..can we get two waters?"

(they both look at him in shock)

"Two-waters-coming-up!"

"Thanks ma!"

(they sit down at the bar and start to talk)

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot!"

"Why don't you drink?"

"I guess it's seeing all the accidents and deaths caused by drunk drivers……..(she pauses)……..and my ex husband always drunk………he was a mean drunk."

"So was my father, he…..uh….he always used to beat my mom, then when he wasn't satisfied, he'd beat me and my little brother."

"I'm sorry, must have been tough growing up."

"Yeah, it was, but as soon as he left things were fine."

"That's good."

(he changes the subject)

"So………you said EX-husband."

"Yes, for almost 2 years."

"That's good to know!" (they both smile at each other)

(now she changes the subject)

"So anything exciting happen today?

(he tells her all about his day, they talked until it was closing time, you could tell that they were both tired and worn out, they both say goodnight to bosco's mom and leave the bar)

"Your cars back at the 55 isn't it?"

"Yeah, but my apartment is only 2 blocks from here, if you want you could just drop me off at my place and I'll pick up my car in the morning."

"Sure."

(they get in the car and drive to Kaitlyn's apartment, Bosco is so tired that he can't keep is eyes open)

"You know, If you want you can stay at my place for the night."

"Nah, that's alright, I can handle the drive home." (lays his head back and closes his eyes)

"Are you kidding me, you can't even keep your eyes open for 2 seconds, come on you're staying here." (she grabs the keys out of the ingnition)

"Alright, if you insist."

(they both stumble upstairs to her apartment door and she opens it, Bosco looks around and admires her apartment)

"Nice place."

"Thanks, I'm not finished yet, I still have to finish the guest room." (she pointed towards the room that had all the boxes in it)

"Still looks nice!" (as they take off their jackets and hang them up)

(she smiles)

"You can have the bed if you want it."

"Nah, the couch'll be fine." (as he sits on the couch, lays his head back, and closes his eyes)

"You sure."

"Yep."

(Kaitlyn goes into the bedroom and grabs a pillow and some blankets)

"Here ya go."

(she notices that Bosco is already asleep, she sits next to him and try's to wake him up by whispering in his ear)

"Bosco, Bosco, wake up."

"Huh." (he says sligthly waking up)

"Here, lay down."

(He lays down and falls right back to sleep as Kaitlyn puts a blanket over him)

"Goodnight, sweet dreams!" (she whispers)

(she goes to her room and jumps into bed and falls asleep)
