Emily sat at the kitchen table doing her home work. She watched as Bosco washed the dinner dishs. He had made his mom so happy in the last few weeks. Happier then she had ever seen her with her dad. Bosco was an okay guy. She smiled. He was definatly babe material. He turned and put some dishes in the cubbard.
"You need some help kiddo?"
"No. Bosco?"
"Yeah Em."
"Are you coming to live with us?"
"Your mom and me haven't discussed it. Why?"
"I guess it would just be easier. Cheaper too."
"Well when and if the subject comes up can I count you to be on my side?"
"You think mom wouldn't go for it? I mean she can't keep her eyes and hands off of you."
"Are you sure your only thirteen?"
"Last time I checked." She smiled. "I mean it Bosco. You really make her happy." Bosco turned a dinning room chair around and straddled it.
"She make me happy too Em. So do you and Charlie. I know I'm not your dad, but I'd like to help out when ever I can. You know homework, advice, stuff like that." He looked at the girl in front of him. "I know your getting to be to old for barbi's and girl scouts and stuff like that. But I want to be here for your for what ever. You know scaring boys and all that good clean fun."
"I woudn't have it any other way Bosco. But you have to be on my side once in a while. You know having one cop as a parent was tough but to have two....." Emily put her hand on her mouth. She had said too much. Great she was going to scare Bosco away.
"When the time comes Emily I would love to be the next best thing to a real dad to you and Charlie. I want to give your mom a lot of time to figure out if I'm the one she wants. She was married to your dad a long time. And he loved you and Charlie more then anything. I just don't want to step on any toes."
"Bosco, dad's dead. You can't step on his toes. And grandma and grandpa like you. The know daddy left mom."
"Honey it's more complicated then that. I love your mom. I have for a very long time. She's just now feeling the same way and I don't want to rush her. I don't want to scare her away."
"You won't."
"Emily, I have a seacret to tell you. When I was little my dad used to hit me. And my mom and my brother. Out of the three of us I'd like to think I came out of it better then they did. But in my heart I look at your mom with all the love in my heart and think what if I turn out like him. What if one day she says or does something and out of no where I hit her."
"Bosco you would never do that."
"You know that and she knows that. But right now my heart's telling me that there is a chance, even though slim, that I might hurt her. And I can't deal with that. I can't deal with what might happen if it does happen." He looked down at the floor. "I made an appointment with a doctor."
"A shrink?" Bosco laughed.
"Yeah, a shrink. I want to deal with all my crap before I think about bringing you guys into my life 100%. You and Charlie and your mom are in my heart. But my head's telling me I'm a ticking time bomb."
"Don't they say admiting you have a problem is half the battle."
"Yeah kiddo. But I want to be the best husband and father I can be. I want to wake up every morning knowing I won't go off and hurt my family."
"Mom says your a hot head but you keep it in check. Doesn't that apply to home as well as work. I mean I know about some stuff, I heard mom and dad talking but I know you'd never hurt us Bosco. Ever."
"I just want to be sure baby. I want to be everyting you and your mom need me to be."
"Your already that and a bag of chips Bosco." He tosseled her hair.
"Finnish your homework sqirt." He got up and went back to washing dishes. Faith stood in the hall and wiped her tears. God life was just to perfect. Bosco loved them all enough to get help with his child hood fears. With an appointment with a shrink no less.
**************************************************************************** *
Faith wouldn't let Bosco go home that night. She kept him in her bed all night. He wondered what he did to deseve this woman. Pulling her close he fell into the best sleep he had in a long time.
