Bosco sat in the chair next to the bed. The sun was coming up and he
hadn't slep in twenty-four hours and he needed a shower. But he couldn't
leave Seajae's side. Not on till she opened her eyes. Doyle was sprawled
out on the chair across the room. Aparently he wasn't leaving either.
Bosco shook his head. Poor kid felt guilty for Seajae's lack of a vest.
He blamed himself for letting her take point. Now she had another scare
someone blamed themselves for.
"Bosco?" He looked at Seajae to see her eyes open.
"Don't talk. They just took the tube from your throat." He got a glass of water and let her take a drink.
"Doyle?"
"He's fine. Pissed as hell at you for not having your vest on."
"No more then I am at myself." She coughed and her chest hurt more then anything she ever felt in her whole life.
"I'll get the doctor Sunshine, just relax." He headed out the door. When he came back he took her hand. Her eyes were closed and tears stained her cheeks. "What is it?"
"You got your memory back?"
"Bits and peices. Nothing solid. Seajae you need to calm down." Doctor Miller came in.
"Listen to your husband. You need to stay focused on getting well and not all the other stuff right now." He looked at Seajae's pale face. "You never had this much healing to do. I expect you to follow my orders or I will call a review board and have your badge pulled Detective." The man wasn't kidding. He looked at the two people in front of him. "I'll send a nurse in for vitals and some pain med. An yes Detective Boscorelli you will take it because it will help you rest and right now that's what you need." He signed the chart and headed out the door.
"What did I do to him?"
"You almost died on him."
"Oh." Seajae closed her eyes. "I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about honey. You didn't know what was out there." He touched her cheek. "But why the hell wern't you wearing your vest?"
"It slipped my mind." Bosco looked at her and shook his head. "I guess I just wanted to find out about where you were and I wasn't thinking."
"Do you want to know for me or for you. 'Cause baby I don't care where I was or who I was with all I care is that I'm here with you now. I don't care if I ever remember that as long as I remember us."
"I guess your right."
"It's been along time since I heard that." Doyle got up.
"Hey you two, can't a guy get any shut eye around here." He smiled at his friends. "Good to see you with your eyes open again lady."
"What a way to wake up. To both of you nagging at me."
"I can still turn you over my knee for scaring the hell out of us." Doyle started to the door. "I'm heading home now that I know your just as much of a pain in the ass as you were yeasterday. " He smiled. "Want me to tell the cheering sqaud in the waiting room that all is well?"
"If you could Joey. Thanks." The nurse came in and started taking Seajae's paulse.
"Welcome back detective."
"It's good to be back Grace. Now tell my husband to get home and get some sleep."
"Go home Bosco, get some sleep. I'm giving her enough meds to tranc a horse. Miller's orders."
"You going to be okay?"
"Yeah. Go hug my babies for me." Bosco kissed her and looked at Grace. "Call me if she starts gettng out of hand." He took his wifes hand. "I love you."
"I love you too."

Jason Christopher looked at the scene of the shooting last night. Bobby Goren stood next to him.
"What do you see that CSI didn't?"
"The gunman was aiming for Seajae."
"Surprise, surprise someone wants Seajae Boscorelli dead."
"Other then finding out what happened to Bosco, was she working on something?"
"Her and SVU from the twenty-third were traking a baby napper/murderer."
"The one where they guy's been slicing the babies out?"
"Yeah. They found one the other day on our beat."
"So more then one person may not like where are crime fighting sweetheart is sticking her nose."
"Yeah. She was questioning people about Bosco's disappearance down here last night."
"She ruffle any feathers?"
"Doyle says it all went down peaceful until the bullets started to fly." Goren looked at the scene again.
"Well I think you might want to post a uniform on her door. Scare away any unwanted visitors."
"You think they might try again?"
"You know Seajea picks her ememies just like her friends. With little or no discression." Goren shook his head. "So hell yeah they're going to try again."

Bosco sat watching his little brother feed Mac his lunch. He walked in and almost walked out thinking he wasn't where he should be again. Mikey...watching his kids. Who would of thought? They sat for along time and finally Bosco had to know.
"She got to you too huh?"
"Who?"
"Seajae."
"No you arrest me got me cleaned up. Seajae got me a job." He continued to feed Mac, playing airplane. "You did real good Mo."
"So have you Mikey. Thank you for helping out."
"We always do when Seajae lands her self at Mercy. So how much do you remember?"
"A day here and there. Some stuff when Seajae was pregnant with Angel. Talks with Faith. Little things that if I hadn't come back I might of been really confused."
"Nothing on where you were for those three weeks?"
"Nope. Seajae got some idea about the last week or so I was gone but other then that." Bosco stood up. "Can you hold down the fort so I can jump in the shower?" Bosco couldn't believe he was asking his brother for help with his kids.
"Sure. If you want to catch a few z's before you go back to the hospital go ahead. Me and the munchkins can chill with some toons, cartoons that is."
"Thanks Mikey. I know I don't...well you know I love you."
"I love you to Mo. Now get a shower you stink." Mikey laughed at his joke and finnished feeding his nephew.
**************************************************************************** *
Seajae was in and out of it for two days. Her friends were there all the time just like they always had been. On the third day she felt more and more like herself. Bosco broght her a chocolate shake for being such a good patiant.
"MMM Now I know why I married you." She kissed him. "Hows the kids?"
"Fat and sassy."
"Keeping you busy?"
"Mikey's been helping out."
"So you like what he's become?"
"I like everything about this new life." Seajae smiled. She hoped he would get more of his memory back and remember the good times.
"I miss you Maurice."
"Not as much as I miss you baby." He leaned over and kissed her.
"There will be none of that." Dr. Miller came in not smiling his usaul smile.
"You take all the fun out of recuperation doc." Seajae looked at the man. "Somethings wrong."
"No. I'm letting you go home tomorrow. You need to rest and not go back to work for at least a couple of weeks." He looked her in the eye. "I ment what I said Seajae. That shoulder needs time to heal." His voice softened. "I'm oly human and I can't be putting you together everytime you walk in front of a bullet. I'm counting on you Bosco to keep her in line."
"I will." Bosco looked at his wife. "Maybe we can find a nice quiet desk for you back at the station."
"Get real Boscorelli. I'd go crazy after a day. But I will make a promise to do my best to not attrack any bullets."
"I'm holding you to that. Now I'll sign the papers and you can be outta here in the morning." Miller smiled for the frist time in days. "We need you around to keep this city safe." He turned and left. "Take care guys."
"See ya later doc." Seajae moved and pain shot though her shoulder. "Damn."
"You need something?"
"Just you Bosco, just you." He smiled and kissed her.
"You got me honey."
"Bosco?" He looked at Seajae to see her eyes open.
"Don't talk. They just took the tube from your throat." He got a glass of water and let her take a drink.
"Doyle?"
"He's fine. Pissed as hell at you for not having your vest on."
