Seajae was asleep. The stark white sheets making her seem pale and
weak. Hell a four story building just fell on top of her. I guess she had
every right to look a little out of it. Bosco looked out the window into
the warm spring night. She was safe after another gut renching twelve
hours of him sitting and wondering if she was going to live or die. He
thought he couldn't deal with it anymore. Her being in danger half her
life. But he felt what it was without her. And that pain hurt a lot worst
then the worry.
Detective Stabler knocked on the door. Bosco looked up and motioned him in the room. "I heard she was causing a rucus again."
"Yeah. Almost got buried alive this time around." Bosco smiled. "I knew what came with it when I married her but damn if I haven't aged about twenty years in the last five."
"Your a stonger man then me Boscorelli. I read her jacket. It's thicker then the Bible and just as complicated. And then there's all those blacked out parts."
"I don't think she even remembers what's on those pages." The men looked at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed. "Heck she even looks harmless lying there."
"Olivia is talking to the victim they found on Monday."
"God that seems so long ago. How is she?"
"Touch and go. She didn't even care someone stole her child. She was giving it up any way."
"Did you check the others? They might of had the same plan."
"That's a thought. I know some law firms branch out state to state." Stabler looked at Bosco. The younger man looked like he had aged since he met him four days ago. "Tell Seajae we'll stop by and keep her in the loop. If's it's okay with you?"
"Yeah, she would want it that way. Thanks for stopping by." The men shook hands and Stabler left Bosco alone with his own thoughts. Thoughts of the woman he loved. He sat down and watched her sleep. She was so beautiful. Even with the black and blue marks that covered her body. How was he going deal if this ever happened again. He needed a plan because he would die before he would ever leave her.

Faith sat at her kitchen table helping Emily with her homework. Charlie and Caleb sat reading in the living room. It was what they did every night that Faith didn't work. It felt so right. So perfect. She had never been at this place with Fred. There was always one problem or another. They were never truly one hundred precent happy. She wanted Seajae and Bosco to feel the way she was feeling right now.
She had called the hospital earlier and Bosco sounded beat. He had been up all night and most of the day and still he refused to leave her side. That was love. Maybe it wasn't as perfect as hers but it was a hell of a lot stronger then most. Emily broke her out of her thoughts with a question and Faith ruffled her daughter's hair. Life couldn't get much beter then this.
***********
Sully watched his wife sleep. She was so beautiful, so increadably sweet. He still didn't know what he did to deserve her in his life. He thought of Seajae and the hours they had talked about the way their lives were going back then. Before either of them realized the love of their lives were right under their noses. He envied Bosco and the way he matured over the years with the love of a woman most men couldn't live with let alone stay married to. The danger that followed the girl around...Sully laughed. Bosco was the only man for that job.
He was almost fifty. Way to old to be thinking about starting a family but Seajae told love like death knows no age. Children should be brought into this world with love and she told him he and Tatiana had love to spare. He would be a great father. If he said it once he said it a hundred times, if Bosco could do it so could he.
*********
Alex and Ty laid in bed holding each other. They had come back from seeing Jimmy and Seajae in the hospital and emotions were running wild. Each knew it might of been them down in that basement waiting for the end to come. Only it was two of there friends. They lucked out, this time. There was always the chance with every call one of them wasn't coming back. It was always there. Neither of them mentioned it but they both thought what if had been them?
*******
Kim sat next to Jimmy holding his hand and trying to keep her eyes open. Her leg throbbed and her head ached but Jimmy and Seajae were safe. They survived what the Capitain called an 'unsurviable quest'. No matter how softly they dug he knew the building was going to come down on them but he never let her or Bosco beleive it was anything but a rescue mission. Bosco....man he had lost it and so had she. The thought of spending a waking moment without his wife had nearly destroyed him. She wondered if she would ever feel that way about Jimmy. Because for all the years they'd been on and off this was the first time she wept when he was gone missing. Maybe, finally after all these years she was truly in love with the father of her son.
*******
Carlos sat in his room alone. He'd know Bosco for a good six years now and he had never seen the man go off like he did last night. The raw emotion he had felt was evednt in his voice and his actions. He was once a cold, heartless son of a bitch but he had come full circle with the love of a great woman. There were few woman who would deal with all his bullshit but he had found a winner in Seajae. Carlos turned over and wondered if he would ever find a woman who'd put up with him.
*******
Doc leaned agaist the wall across from Seajae's room. He was going to try one more time to get Bosco to go home and get some sleep. His wife wasn't going anywhere for twenty four hours of more. He shook his head. Bosco sure had his hands full with Seajae. God she was a danger magnet. But knowing Bosco he could handle it and handle here till the day he died. He wasn't giving up on the love he'd found with Seajae for anything. Doc smiled and decided he wasn't going to pull him away from his wife tonight. He thought of Olivia Davis. She was good woman. Every man needed a good woman...right?
*****
Bosco look streatched out on the chair next to Seajae's bed. He saw her eyes flutter and sat up. He took her hand in his and kissed her.
"Is.....Bosco?"
"Yeah Sunshine it's me."
"Where am I?"
"Where do you spend most of your time?"
"I'm not in bed with you so I have to be in the hospital. Oh hell I had a building fall on me....and Jimmy."
"Jimmy's fine. Your fine except for some broken ribs." He brushed the hair from her face. "Our insurence is going to start to question all the time you spend here."
"Tell them to stand in line behind the guy from Sprint. Oh that reminds me...."
"I know I saw it. This one fought back though. You have a bruise on your hip from landing in it. It's almost like a cell phone tattoo." He need to kiss her. Leaning over his lips touched hers.
"I scared the piss out of you didn't I?"
"For like the five hundreth time. Can we find a nice safe desk job for about a year so I can remove my heart from my throat?"
"Yeah. I think that's best. I can find something. If not with the department maybe in the private sector." She smiled at Bosco who's face was full of surprise.
"That was way easier then I thought." Bosco ran his hand down her cheek. "We'll find something that won't bore you too much. Maybe something with the DOC."
"Very funny Boscorelli. Now crawl in her with me." She snuggled next to her husband. "Just save the last dance for me." Bosco laughed figuring her drugs were kicking in again. Closing his eye's he fell asleep. The first sleep he hand gotten in two days.
Detective Stabler knocked on the door. Bosco looked up and motioned him in the room. "I heard she was causing a rucus again."
