Seajae ran. She ran farther then she ever ran befor but the demonds still wouldn't let her rest. She bolted upright in bed yelling Bosco's name. Barley waking he pulled her into his arms. He knew better then to talk. He just kissed her and pulled her naked body across him. Bosco knew something was haunting her again and for the life of him he couldn't figure out what. Kissing the top of her blond headhe stroked her back until she fell back to sleep. Only to wake up two hours later with another one. She needed some kind of relief and he had no clue on what it was.

April 19 Easter In The Park

Easter eggs littered the big expasion of grass in front of them. The older kids were runnning around along with a hundred others searching for eggs. Ethan Sulivan crawled around the blank his mother layed on the ground. Five other babies in car seats and bouncey chairs circled around the blankets as their mothers sat on the grass behind them. Seajae watched Angel and Joey chase Emily and Charlie around sometimes putting a egg in thier basket.

"So Alex, going back to work next week?" Seajae looked at her blond friend over the rims of her sunglasses.

"That's the plan. Just on the Bus for a few weeks. No big time fires for me yet." Kim looked at Seajae. She looked tired. She wonderd the last time she had gotten a full nights sleep.

"How long are you taking Kim?"

"Eight weeks. I know I shouln't but I figure I may never get another chance." Kim looked at Seajae. "Seaj, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I have two great kids. The fact that I can't giver birth to anymore only limits my options a little." She smiled. "I can take some of grandpa's money and pay one of you to carry another one for me."

"I'm done my friend." Faith smiled. "Two at one time is one too many."

"It wasn't like you knew till the end any way."

"Well if it means I get to sleep with Bosco......"

"Back of Dorhety. You got your own fine peice of ass, stay away from mine." They all laughed. "Speaking of fine ass's our are six missing in action."

"Playing football no doubt." Alex took a swig of her soda. "Anything to get out of changing a diaper."

"I hear that." The rest of the woman answered. They all laughed.

*********

Bosco sat on the park bench watching Seajae pick up Mack and feed him a bottle. A little father behind her Angel was chasing Joey, threating to kiss him. Jimmy sat next to him.

"It's a beautiful sight isn't it? All those woman with all those babies."

"You know what Jimmy?"

"What?"

"Did you ever imagain even five years ago this is where we would be?"

"You mean here on the bench watching our women. Feeling like we missed the boat on some leval?"

"Yeah, kinda. " He laughed. "Seajae hasn't slept a whole lot since the night Ireland was born."

"I can honestly say either have I. What do you thinks bothering her?"

"The fact that if she was thiry seconds later how things would of gone."

"But she made it Bosco. Kim's fine, the baby is fine."

"I know. That's why I find her nighmere's strange."

"Maybe she needs a vaction from the shit at work, just cause she had time off to have Mack doesn't mean it was a vacation."

"Maybe. Mom has been ding to watch the kids for a week end. Maybe it's time." Bosco stood up. "Thanks Jimmy. For a fuck up your not such a bad guy."

"Look who's talking Maurice."

********

No one noticed the man sitting on the bench not far from where the six new mother's sat with their babies. He memorized every inch of the woman and children sitting the shade of the big oak tree . He watched as the men came trickling back to the blanked and kissed their wives and hugged thier babies. The happy little scene turned his stomach. Not letting his gaze leave the groupe he picked up his cell phone and dialed. It only took a second for some one to pick up on the other end.

"They are all here." He nodded and closed the phone. Getting up he looked one last time at the happy scene in front of him. "Be happy now. Soon you will know no happiness my friends."

"Bosco!" Seajae sat up in bed. She reached for her husband but he wasn't in bed with her. Shaking the fog out of her mnd she heard voices. She looked at the baby moniter next to the bed. Bosco was singing baby Mack to sleep. Seajae laed back down and looked at the celing. She needed to sleep. This pace was going to kill if she didn't. Thinking she should put a call into Dr. Laurence in the morning she didn't here Bosco come in till he was slippinginto bed next to her.

"You okay?" He pulled her into his arms.

"I am now?"

"Want to talk about it?"

"All I remeber is your gone and I can't find you."

"It a dream Sunshine. You know I'll always be here for you."

"I know. God I love you Boscorelli."" She kissed him. "What did I do to deserve you?"

"The same thing I did to deserve you. Suffered a shit load of garbage before we met." He hugged his wife close and began to put her to bed the best way he knew how.
