Seajae sat on the couch drinking ice tea and nursing a headache that came on after dinner. Angel was alseep and Bosco had run to the store for something. A knock on the door broke her out of her thoughts. Seajae padded to the door and opened it. Faith was standing in front of her. The freinds hugged for a long time.
"God I missed you Seaj." She pulled back and looked at her friend. "Are you up to company? If your not just say so."
"Get in here." Seajae grabbed a couple of soda's and lead Faith to the couch, "Sit." She tucked her legs under her and handed Faith a soda. "So how's things with you?"
"Good. Caleb loves his job. The kids are happy."
"That's so great Faith, I'm sorry about the last couple of months. I wasn't very good friend. Hell I wasn't a very good anything."
"We all understand. It happens to the best of us. Are you going back to work soon?"
"I don't even know if I have a job."
"We got you a sixty day leave of absents." Faith looked at her friend. "Caleb, me Sully and Ty are the only ones who knew Bosco didn't know where you were."
"I guess that was best. I didn't want to go Faith. I just couldn't bear him not loving me anymore. I hadn't felt right for so long. I should of known. I should of slowed down."
"He doesn't blaime you. He never did. He came home that night and cried. Not for the baby. For his wife who was slipping away from him. Seajae, I've never know Bosco to break down like that. All he kept saying was that he'd lost you. Then the next day he went to the hospital and you were gone."
"I was overwelmed. I didn't want anyone to know how weak I had become. Weak gets you killed in our line of work. Maybe that's why I was loosing the upper hand. I couldn't fight anymore."
"Well now your strong again." Faith took a drink of her soda. "You know we are her for you. We leaned on you a lot. All of us. But that's what friends are for, So lean when ever you need it." Bosco came in smiling.
"How's the two most beautiful woman in all of New York?"
"Stop at the Bar on your way home Bos?" Faith stood up.
"Naaaw I'm always this chipper. You of all people should know that."
"Now I know he's been into something. Hey guys I got to go. Stop by in the morning for coffee." Faith left leaving Seajae on the couch. Bosco put something in the freezer and went to sit by her. He pulled her in his lap.
"How are you feeling?" She laid her head on his chest.
"Never better."
"You lie like a rug Boscorelli." He held her close as he stretched out on the couch. "You are tired and your going though severe niccotine with drawl."
"But it's the best I've felt in ages. Your hear, holding me in your arms. That in it's self is all I need to make it though." She kissed him. "I love you Maurice Boscorelli. I don't know what I did to deserve you but what ever it was I thank God every day for it."
"I love you too baby."
"Faith told me work gave me a leave of absence."
"Yeah. Sixty days. So when ever you feel up to it. You have like thirty left."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For saying when I'm feeling up to it. Not 'if'."
"Seajae I've always said I'd never make you give up your job. Even after the last couple of months. You were worn down. You rest now and we get all the other things taken care of work won't be a problem, right?"
"Yeah. I guess. I want to try. At least for a while. Because I do want to...well I want to have another baby. If you still want to."
"But this time we do everything right. Your off the streets the second we find out your preganat."
"I can live with that." She snuggled closer to her husband. "But I can't live without you." Seajae raised her chin and looked into his eyes. "Maybe this one will look like one of us."
"If it looks like Sully, your in big trouble." Bosco laughed.
"Maybe it'll look like Jimmy." He hit her with a pillow.
"Watch it. As long as it's healthy it can look like a poodle."
"Hey now...."She kissed him. "Speaking of I should call Sully." Bosco reached for the phone and handed it to her. She dialed the number and put the phone to her ear.
"Sullivan."
"Hey old man. How's it hanging."
"Your to young to even know where it's hanging. Hey sunshine. How are you?"
"Good. Real good. I missed you guys."
"We missed you to." He cleared his thought. "Do ever do that to me again."
"Sorry. I just needed to separate for awhile."
"Well next time take a vacation to the Cape. Tatianna says to say hi."
"How is she?"
"Very,,,,pregnant. She's enjoying every minute of it."
"Good, she should. Hey I'll let you go. We'll have lunch this week."
"Sounds good sunshine. Take it easy."
"Bye Sully." She turned off the phone and laid her head back down on Bosco's chest.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah. How's your mom?"
"She's thinking of selling the bar to become a full time grandma." Seajae laughed.
"She's welcome to it. So we don't have to pay a nanny?"
"You know ma, she'll change her mind in like a minute." He kissed her. "You ready for bed?"
"No. I know you brought chocolate almond ice cream home." She sat up. "Can I have a bowl before we go to bed?" Seajae smiled at him. "Pleeeease...."
"Okay." He got up and got them each a bowl of ice cream and sat back down on the couch. He watched his wife savor the flavor of the ice cream. "Good?"
"Heaven." She reached over and fed him a spoon full. He took it and laughed. " I guess I could of saved a dish if your going to share." Bosco leaned over and kiss her. She tasted of chocolate and almonds. They never finished their ice cream. Bosco carried her to bed and made the loss of her ice cream tollerable.
