Disclaimer: I Own Nothing
Notes: I know I'm slower then molasas roaming up hill in the winter. I'm trying to get this together. Pulling out my hair. But such is life.

Bosco sat up in bed. Seajae was past out. He had made her take a couple of pain pills before she fell asleep and he was glad he did. She looked so peaceful. He laid back down and pulled the sheet up over her. Not before running his hand over the heart shaped tatoo. God she made it all worth living. He laid back down and tried to remember the dream he was having before he awoke. The room was dark and his chest heaved with fear, he knew someone had hit him over the head and the pain was immence.
"Bosco?" Seajae turned over and laid her head on his chest.
"Go to sleep. I'm fine."
"No your not. You hearts going a mile a minute."
"Just a dream. Go back to sleep Seajae." She ran her hand down his cheek.
"Nows not the time to pick a fight Bosco. What's wrong?"
"It was so dark. They kept me in the dark Seajae." She felt him tence. She held him close.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry."
"All I could think about is you. I closed my eyes and pictured a light and you." He pulled her closer. "And then you were gone. They beat me and took you and the light away."
"Bosco, I'm here now. I'm not going any where."
"He wants us both dead."
"Who?"
"When I remember you'll be the first to know." Bosco kissed Seajae again. "Let's go to sleep. We both have a lot to do in the morning."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Seajae hugged him tight.
"Wake me up if you have another dream okay."
"Yeah. Now go to sleep."

Doyle sat next to Bosco the next day and wondered why the man looked tence. He knew better then to ask questions. He liked his head just the way it was. They sat in front of the warehouse for more then an hour now. Bosco just stared out the windshild.
"Bos?"
"Joey."
"Another hard night at Chautue Boscorelli?"
"We don't fight."
"You don't? Isn't that a good thing?"
"Maybe, I don't know. Did we used to fight?"
"Just teasingly from what I saw. Shouldn't you be asking Seajae or even Faith this. I mean they know you better then I do."
"Do you see either of them here? You asked."
"Sorry. No, you and Seajea never fight. Not in front of me. You used to complain about her bitching and stuff but nothing like yelling and screaming. Not like me and Becky." Doyle looked at his friend. "Why are we here?"
"This is where they kept me for two weeks." Bosco watched the bums start making their way to the buildings warmth. "They locked me in a six by six room with no windows. I came this close from going nuts. The only thing that kept me going was Seajae. And then one day they hit me and she was gone."
"But she's back. You have her right where you need her." Doyle knew that the Boscorelli's lived and breathed eachother. "She almost died when you turned up missing. But she never gave up hope. She used to stay up all night and tell me that you wouln't leave them unless you had no choice."
"You spent the night at my house?"
"We all did. Doc, Carlos, Kim, Alex, Ty, Jimmy, Faith, Sully, Tatianna, Caleb. We took turns." Joey looked out his widow. "None of us can loose her. But hell you'd be a basket case if anything happened to her."
"You like my wife Doyle?"
"Yeah. You two are good together. Your like the big brother and sister I never had."
"An Irish boy without a big family. How does that work?"
"Lost them in a fire when I was six."
"I'm sorry man, I..."
"Not even Seajae knows. Your the only one I told. No ones ever asked before."
"Thanks for sharing."
"You told me about what you remembered." Doyle looked at he warehouse. "We going in?"
"No. I think I may let this go for today. You up for my wife's cooking?"
"Have I ever said no to that?"
"Not that I remembered." Bosco smiled. He put the car in gear and headed to his house and to the one thing he couldn't live without. His wife.

"Angel Faith Boscorelli you go to your room and clean up the mess you made in there before daddy gets here."
"Kay mommy." The little girl had been bouncing off the walls all day and she was ready to scream.. Her shoulder hurt from to much use and she dared not to take any pain pills until the little tornado went to sleep. Seajae reached for a bottle of vodka but pulled back knowing Bosco would smell it on her. Maybe just one pain pill would stop the trobing.
"Angel?" THe little girl had been too quiet. Seajae went into check on her and she had fallen asleep in a heap of toys. Seajae smiled. "Ah Baby your batteries finally gave out." She pulled down the covers and started to lift her in bed but thought better of it and went to get the chicken ready for they guys. One of them could put her in bed.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Joey Doyle sat watching Seajae get the chicken out of the oven with one hand he offered to help but she said no. She had always been independent and strong. No one knew his past but he wanted to tell Seajae. Tell her that a long time ago a little boy found the will to live because of the kindess of one teenage girl. The girl had made him not feel so alone and so small. The girl held him when he cried for his mom and dad and held him when he couldn't sleep at night. The girl cried the day he found someone to adopt him. Not tears of pain but tears of joy. That girl had been Seajae.
"Did I grow horns Joey?"
"Do you remember a lot from growing up?"
"Bits and peiced. Foster homes, boarding schools."
"Do you remember the people?"
"Some." She sat down next to him. "Mostly the kids. There was this one little boy when I was at a Foster home in Austin, just before they sent me to boarding school. His parents died like a month before and no one could stop him from crying but me. He would crawl in my lap and stroke my cheek. I think I reminded him of his mom."
"You did." The words were soft, barly a wisper. Bosco stopped at Angels door and watched his wife and partner.
"What did you say?"
"Your eyes, there was so much love in your eyes. Just like my mom's. And your smile. You always had a smile for me when no one else did."
"JD?"
"Joseph Danial Doyle." Seajae had tears in her eyes. The more she looked into the green of Doyles eyes the more she saw six year old JD.
"My god why did you take this long to tell me?"
"I wasn't sure at first and then.....I don't know. You saved me in that place twenty years ago Seajae. I'm sorry it took so long but thank you." Seajae stood up and hugged the man who had been her savior as a teenager too. JD had taught her how to love. Something she never forgot. Bosco came up to them.
"You sure know how to make dinner exciting there Joey." He sat down next to his wife and handed her a napkin. "Now lets eat before the Sergent comes looking for us."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Seajae took out the picture in the back of an old photo album she hid behind the others in the entertainment center. She smiled. JD had been a joy to all who knew him. And now as an adult so was Joey Doyle. Something was not right. She closed her eyes and consontrated on Joey. Her eyes opened quickly and the picture dropped to the floor. Fear cursed though Seajae's vians. This couldn't happen not now......not ever.
