March 15

The man slammed Seajae to the ground. Her head hit the pavement with a sickening thunk. She bent her leg just enough to get some leverage andkicked the man off of her. She heard foot steps behind her. She tryed shaking off the sicking feeling in her gut. Sully and Davis grabbed the man who had knocked her down and were cuffing him. Sully reached to help her up. She reached for his hand and staggared to her feet.

"You okay Sunshine?"

"Had better days. I hurt all over the damn place. Take this scum bag into the station. I think I better make a pit stop at Mercy,"

"Want us to take you?"

"No. I'll manage." She slid into the seat of her car and layed her head agaist the seat. The last month had been horrible at work. Warrents wern't filled out right and busts were falling though. Angel wasn't happy about the teeth she was getting and Bosco wasn't happy with the hours she was working. It just got better and better. Seajae drove to the hospital knowing it would be another all out fight with Bosco. She didn't care right now all she wanted was something for the pain that was radiating though her body.

******

Bosco sat at light on 15th ave. He looked over at Faith who was smiling that goofy smile she'd worn ever since the wedding. Seajae had been happier since that day. But she was still holding back and that hurt him more then she would ever know.

"Are we eating or what." Faith broke him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah. What do you feel for?"

"Anything is fine. Are you okay?"

"Yeah nothing a hammer to the head won't cure."

"It can be aranged Bosco. It can be arranged."

******

The doctor looked at her. He looked at her chart and then back at her.

"What?"

"What the hell hit you?"

"Two hundred pounds of shit."

"Seajae we had this discussion last year. You need to lay off the restling matches too. I'm ordering a cat scan cause I'm not taking any chances."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Any chance your pregnant?"

"Always a chance with my husband." The doctor looked at her.

"Yeah, maybe but I don't think so."

"Should we check?"

"If it means getting me something for this pain, go for it." The doctor order the test and other blood work. The he slid down her gown.

"Jusus Seajae what the hell happened to you?"

"Last couple of perps used me for a takeling dummy."

"Your loosing your edge there Boscorelli."

"Hey I still took them down." The doctor shook his head.

"You need me to call your husband?"

"No. But I do need to use a phone to call work."

"I'll get it from the nurses station. Don't move."

"Like I can." Seajae closed her eyes and tryed to focus on anything but the pain. The doctor handed her the phone and she called the station. The desk seargent could barley be heard over the comotion.

"Five Five how can I help you?"

"Mongomery is Sullivan there?"

"Sully?"

"Yeah. Sullivan, phone."

"Sullivan here?"

"What the hell's going on there?"

"Just a rousting rendition of the exocist with vomit and all. Sorry you missing it."

"I'm still in the ER. Can you handle the scum bag?"

"Yeah. You want me to find Bosco?"

"NO! Not yet."

"Okay. Talk later." Seajae hiung up the phone and let the exhuastion over take her.

March 17 St. Patty's Day

For New Yorker's St. Patricks Day is like Mardi Gra. Parting and drinking in the streets. The police department was on full alert. Maurice Boscorelli sat at his wife's side at the hospital. The doctor's said she was dehadrated and near exhusted. Also she had miscarried the baby she was carring. Boscoe had shed enough tears in the last two days. He grieved for his child and the woman lying in the bed. He had to separate himself from her before she killed them both. He kissed her forhead and headed off to a day he would rather forget.

*******

Seajae opened her eyes. Jimmy was sitting in the chair next to the bed. He was reading some magazine she could't quite make out. She tryed to reach for him but she didn't have the strength. She saw the IV's and all the machines. She had just come in cause her body ached. It had just been the flu. Right?

*******

March 18

Bosco led Angel by the hand so she could walk. She loved the sound of her shoes on the marble floor. She looked up to her dad to confirm she was doing good. He smiled down at her. Her black curles bouncing with every step. God she was beautiful, just like her mother. So sweet and innocent. They arrived at Seajae Room. Boscoe picked her more to sepreate him from her mother. With the child between them there wouldn't be confrintation.

Seajae turned at the sound of Angel's excited "Ma Ma, Ma Ma."

"Hey baby girl. How are you?" Bosco let the little girl sown on the bed and sit on Seajae's lap. "Hey." She loked at Bosco.

"Hey." He fought the urge to stroke her cheek.

:"How long have I been out?"

"Three days."

"God I thought I was just a little sore from the guy I busted."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"About the guy. It just happened."

"Seajae you have bruises up and down your body. You've been get slammed around more the your attmiting to."

"Just a couple of hard cases I busted."

"What about the baby?"

"What baby?"

"Seajae don't lie to me."

"Bosco I would never lie to you. I never have."

"You telling me you didn't know you were pregnant?"

"No. My god do you think I'd be pushing it the way I was if I knew." Bosxo picked up his daughter,

"I don't know anymore Seajae. I honestly don't know." He turned and headed to the door.

"Please Bosco, I swear I didn't know...my god I'm sorry. Bosco please don't go. Please don't leave."

*********

March 19

Bosco had time to cool off. He just wanted to go into Seajae's room and gather her in his arms and hold her. Tell her that it was going to be all right. He had never loved another human being like he loved her. She was his heart, his soul, his world. He opened the door and found and empty bed. He backed up to make sure he was in the right room and then headed to the nurses station.

"Seajae Boscorelli isn't in her room." The nurse looked up.

"She was released about an hour ago."

"Did she say where she was going?"

"No sorry. She grabbed a cab, I know that much.."

"Thanks." Bosco headed to his car and prayed Seajae would head home.

""""""

She didn't. So that's where the downhill spiral had begun. It was like she disappered off the face of the earth. Not that it was hard to hide in New York. Both Bosco and Angel cryed themself to sleep that night. Mourning the loss of the woman they cou;n't live without.
