Bosco awoke way to early from a restless night of sleep. Faith had only spent threenights in his bed but he was begining to think he would never sleep right again unless she was there. It was only eight o'clock when he headed out the door. If she was still sleeping he's lay down on her couch and catch some sleep sorounded in the peace of her apartment.
Parking a few blocks from her apartment Bosco stopped at the coffe shop before walking the last block to Faith's. The lady smiled when she saw him come in.
"Hello Mr. Bosco. How are things?"
"Good Marcella. How are you?" She smiled and sqinted at him.
"Good. You look...I don't know, different. You get your hair cut?"
"Not lately. Two to go today."
"One for Miss Faith?"
"Yeah. You know what she likes." Marcella smiled.
"Yeah. How is she doing?"
"Real good."
"You have something to do with that Mr. Bosco?"
"Wouldn't know Marcella you'd have to ask her." He smiled and paid for the coffee. "You have a nice day." Bosco grabbed the coffee and headed to Faith's. The old woman behind the counter smiled. In six years not once had Mr. Bosco said to have a nice day. Something sure was making him a happy man and Marcella knew long ago it was Miss Faith.
Bosco walked down the street. Hell even the old lady that sold him coffee saw the change in him. How would it be with the people that were around him. Could they know by just looking at him that he was in love with his partner. He hoped not because like her, he wasn't willing to share their secreat just yet. Taking the steps two at a time he softly knocked on Faith's door. A couple of seconds later She opened the door and let him in.
"How did you know I was dieing for a cup." Bosco handed her one of the coffee's . He looked around seeing the kids were still sleeping and took advantage of it and kissed her.
"MMM A mind reader I guess." Setting down his coffe he took her in his arms. "I missed you Faith." He kissed her. "I hope you slept better then I did."
"A little. Sit down on the couch. I'll grab the paper." He sat down and Faith handed him the five pound New York Times and sat next to him. Putting the paper on the coffe table he pulled Faith in his arms.
"Sorry. I just needed to hold you." She layed her head on his chest. Faith inhaled his scent. Her mind flashed back to last night and she blushed. Looking up into his eyes she smiled. Faith knew she could tell this man anything and everything and not feel ashamed.
"I'm not complaining. How did you sleep?"
I didn't. I kept reaching for you." He kissed her forehead. "But l want to take it slow. Espcially with the kids. With Fred in jail I don't want to think I'm trying to replace him."
"They won't. You've always been a good friend to them. God knows how long Fred will be in prison."
"I talked to a friend in the DA's office yesterday. Fred's arrainment is tomorrow. One o'clock."
"I should go. Shouldn't I?"
"I'd like to go to see his sorry ass nailed to the wall." He closed his eyes. "Sorry, he's still Emily and Charlie's dad."
"It's okay. You'll come with me then?"
"Yeah, sure." He kissed her again. "You better get dressed before you end up naked right here on the couch."
"Yeah. But what an excuse for not going to brunch." Faith kissed him one more time and went to the bed room to get dressed.
*******
The whole rest of the day was the most fun Bosco had in a long time. They had a huge brunch at a restraunt not far from the zoo. And then spent the next five hours seeing every inch of the zoo and then some. It was seven o'clock before they headed home. Just as they were piling into Faith's apartment Bosco's cell phone rang.
"Boscorelli."
"You seen Yokas?" Chistopher's voice echoed in his ear for the second time in two days.
"Since when am I her keeper?"
"Since you never go take a piss without telling her about. Is she with you or not?"
"Yeah."
"You close to a TV?"
"Yeah."
"Turn on channel twelve." Bosco reached over the couch and grabbed the remote of the coffee table and turned on the TV.
"What am I looking at?"
"Riot at Rikers." Jason took a deep breath. "Two gaurds, eight prisoners dead."
"No shit."
"None ID'd yet but it was determind the fight started in the incoming holding sell about four this afternoon."
"Call me when you know for sure." He looked at Faith watching TV. "And thanks for the heads up man." Bosco hng up the phone. Faith turned and looked at him. The look on her face, she knew. He went to her and put his arms around her. Bosco knew she was crying for her children's father. Because if Faith had had even a minimal amout of feeling for Fred she would have never slept with him. The tears were for the past and happier times. He held her close, trying to be the best freind he knew how.
******
The riot that lasted thirty minutes and killed ten people sent Rikers Island into a thirty seven day lock down. The prision's that died were killed by the hands of a few who had been planing their escape when the incoming prisioners were being prossesed. The gaurds died trying to save them. Faith sat in the dark long after her kids had gone to sleep. Bosco holding her head in his lap. Christopher called back at midnight confirming Fred Yokas was one of the eight that died in the riot.
"What I'm I going to tell the kids Bosco?"
"The truth. That's all you can tell them."
"Will you be there? In case they hate me." Faith looked at him.
"They won't hate you but yeah, I'll be there." He bent down and kissed her. "Can I sleep on your couch tonight?"
"No." She sat up and curled up in his lap. "You can sleep in my bed though." She kissed him. "I was going to ask you to stay any way."
"What about the kids? If they wake up?"
"We'll just deal with it. Life's to short to hide under rocks." Faith kissed him and ran her hands though his hair. "Take me to bed Maurice." He lifted her up and carried in the bedroom bound and determind to chace her cares and what evere else haunted her away.
******
The kids took their father's death far better then Faith would of tought. They loved Fred and were heart broken but in their hearts they knew all the pain their mother felt was because of their father. Emily looked at Bosco sitting on the couch next to her mother. She stood up and went to them. Putting an arm around each of them she hugged them both tightly. Charlie came over and they held each other for a long time. When Emily finally let go all four of them were crying. Not for as much the loss as it was for what they had found. They had each other and that was what family was. Bosco looked at them and realized he wanted to be part of Faith's family now more then ever. He would do everyting in his power to convinve Faith he was ready for the comitment.
