Bosco watched the nurse agest the IV. She wrote some things in Seajae's
chart and turned to leave. He stopped her.
"Restrian her."
"What?" The nurse looked at him.
"Bosco no," Faith came in the room. "You can't do that."
"I can and I will Faith. I will not loose her again. If I'm not here when she get's up she may think I hate her and bolt again. I'm not taking the chance." He looked at the nurse. "Please put soft restaints on her." The nurse nodded and went to the shelf for them.
"She's not going to be happy."
"As long as she safe."
"I got to get back to work. You okay?"
"She's alive. She's safe. That's all the matter's." He turned and looked at Faith. "Could you stop by on your way home and pick up my utility belt. I hate to have it here all night."
"Sure thing. I'll be back around 11:30 or so." She hugged him. "Take care my friend." She touched Seajae's hand and kissed her for head. "You too sweety." Faith headed out the door but turned back to Bosco. "Just remember how much you love her."
"It's the only thing that kept me going for the last month." He sat down on the chair next Seajae's bed. The doctor came in.
"Officer Boscorelli. How have you been?"
"Not so good doc."
"Well I see my favorite patiant is here again. I did a tox screen like you asked. Other then a B.A.L. of .02 there was nothing else. I did a CAT scan and everythings well as good as it can be with her history."
"Thanks doc. I called Dr. Laurence. He's coming tomorrow to see her."
"I heard though the romor mill you'd been having some troble. I'm sorry. I know how you feel about eachother. Seajae alway's was one to tell me how special her husband is."
"I don't feel so special." He glanced down at the restraints.
"If you need anything...I'm on call all night."
"Unless you can turn back time."
"I wish I could. "
"Thanks again for everything."
"You did it because you love her. She'll come around Bosco. Just giver her some time." The doctor patted him on the shoulder. "You need anything just have them page me."
"Thanks agian doc." Bosco turned and took Seajae's hand and stroked the hiar out of her face. She was so pale and thin. He needed her to be okay. He needed her to forgive him for way he was feeling that day. She was everything to him and he wanted her to feel it like she did before. To know by looking at him how much he loved her. Seajae looked so alone standing there tonight. He never wanted her tofeel that way again. He had promised to love and protect her. He had failed miseralby. He held her hand and laid down his head and prayed.

Faith stopped by after work and got his belt. She stood looking at the couple for a long time before she said anything. How could it all come down to this. They were the reason she had happiness in her life and she couldn't bring them the same. Guilt racked her heart. She had been so wrapped up in her own life she failed to see the course theirs had taked. It would haunt her for a long time if not forever.
"Bosco." She put her hand on his soulger and he lifted his head.
"Hey. What time is it?"
"Midnight. I broght your street clothes from your locker."
"Thanks." He took off his belt and handed it to her. "You know where the key is. Ma will let you in."
"She's really taken to this grandma thing. She's even got my kids calling her grams." Bosco smiled.
"Yeah. Most people make better grandparents then parents."
"I got to go. Take care." She turned to leave then stopped. "Do you want visitors in the morning?"
"Let's wait. I'll call you."
"Okay." She waved. "See you later."
Bosco sat back down and looked at his sleeping wife. He kissed her cheek and laid his head back sown trying to catch up on a months worth of sleep.
*****
Seajae opened her eyes. Bosco was holding her hand sleeping with his head on the bed. She went to reach for him but found her arm strapped to the bed. The tears flowed down her cheeks. What had she done? She must have hurt him terribly. How was she ever going to face him. She turned to the wall and cried herself to sleep.
*****
Near four am Bosco woke up. Seajae was still sleeping. His backed ached from the aqward way he slept. He noticed fresh tears running down Seajae's face. He wiped them away. She opened her eys. They were blood shot and swollen.
"Don't hate me." She wispered.
"Seajae I could never hate you." He kissed her and brushed the hair out of her face.
"I know I'm sorry doesn't begin to cut it."
"I'm sorry too. We're going to get some help and work though this . Honey I will love you till the day I die. Nothing can change that."
"How's Angle?"
"Missing her mom."
"How are you?"
"Relieved I found the most presios thing in my life, safe and sound."
"I wanted to come home so bad. I was so afraid you hated me because of the baby."
"No. Honey I was upset because you were her again and you we hurt. I was scared. I'm sorry I walked away that day. More then you'll ever know."
"Will you please hold me?"
"You bet." He took off the restaints from her wrists and laid next to her in bed. "Seems like we've done this a time or two." He kissed her head. "Get some rest baby. Tomorrow's another day." They closed thier eyes and got the best night of sleep either one had had in months.
"Restrian her."
"What?" The nurse looked at him.
"Bosco no," Faith came in the room. "You can't do that."
"I can and I will Faith. I will not loose her again. If I'm not here when she get's up she may think I hate her and bolt again. I'm not taking the chance." He looked at the nurse. "Please put soft restaints on her." The nurse nodded and went to the shelf for them.
