He slowly pulled off the covers and quietly got out of bed. It was almost 4 AM and he didn't want to wake her. He pulled the covers back up so she wouldn't get cold. Then he walked over to the bench by the window and sat down. He stared into the night and started thinking.
It had already been almost five months since he and Faith started seeing each other and still no one knew about them. They had managed to keep it quiet. Not even Emily and Charlie suspected anything. He didn't know if he was happy or upset with the fact that no one knew about them. A part of him wanted to scream off the roof tops that Faith was his girl. He was so proud that she loved him., that they had found each other. But then there was the other part of him that didn't want to tell a soul. He was scared that if he did something would happen and wreck it all. He wanted to hold on to that world that he and Faith created. The one where it was just them and nothing else.
Things had been going pretty good so far. Sure they had there fights once in awhile. He remembered when they had their first big fight. He was so worried that it was all over. He had never cared about any girl enough before to try and fix things after a fight. They were never worth the effort. After they kissed and made up he had told Faith how much he had been worried but she just looked at him like he had grown an extra head and assured him that it was going to take a lot more then a silly fight to split them up. She wasn't letting him go for nothing. He admired her belief in their relationship. He had it to...most of the time. He knew that she was right that what they had was real, that whatever came there way they would handle but it didn't stop that tiny part of him that was always scared that he was going to get hurt. That one day she would come to her senses' and realize that she deserved so much better then him.
He ran his hands over his face and let out a sigh. He looked over at her. She was all curled up, blankets pulled up right to her chin. She was softly breathing it was the most relaxing sound he had ever heard. A lot of nights he would lay awake just listening to her breath. She looked so beautiful. He loved sitting there watching her sleep.
His mind drifted back to earlier that day. They had taken Em and Charlie to the park, after they went to a movie and then dinner. They were having dinner at McDonalds after the movie when he got up to get Charlie and Ice cream. He was standing in line waiting looking over at them at the table. They were goofing around with the toys out of the meals. He could feel himself wearing a big goofy grin watching them having so much fun. The three of them had became his life. They had always been important to him but now it was different. As if reading his mind an old man standing behind him said "That's a great looking family you have over there son." He was about to correct the man but looked back at Faith and the kids his smile got even bigger as he said "I sure do."
Then that got him thinking 'family' Could they become a family? He wanted them to be. He hadn't realized it until that man had said something but it was true he wanted them to be a family. In fact he wanted the works. He wanted a two story house with a big yard out in a nice neighborhood, hell maybe even in the country. He wanted a white picket fence, a dog, a cat he even thought about adding on to the family and having kids of his own. He wanted everything. He wanted that fairytale family he dreamed of as a kid. He knew that if it was ever going to happen it would be with Faith. She was the one that would be able to make that dream come true. She was the only one he could ever imagine that with. He smiled at the thought.
The smile slowly faded. He didn't think it would happen, not anytime soon anyway. Faith hadn't even filed for divorce yet. Which admittedly pissed him off. Why the hell hadn't she? What was she waiting for? Yeah sure Fred was being a decent guy lately. They had worked out a schedule with the kids, both sharing the bills. So she didn't need to get the courts involved but still if he was being so great about it why not make it all legal? But even if she did get the divorce would she want to get married again? She had been married to Fred for so long, maybe she didn't want that again. Maybe she was perfectly happy with what they had now and didn't want anything else.
He had to laugh at himself as he thought what a sap he had become. Here he was tough Boscorelli sitting in a dimly lit room watching his girlfriend sleep and dreaming and wishing about the life they could have together. A life that he wanted very much with her but he wasn't going to push her about it. She'd come around, he hoped. Until then he would just enjoy what they had and never take a second of it for granted.
He stood up and took one last look outside and then walked back over to the bed and crawled back in. He then did what he did every night and wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his hand on her stomach. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
She had felt him come back into the bed but hadn't noticed when he left. She felt his warm body curl up next to her's and his arms wrap around her. She let out a soft sigh and relaxed against him.
What was she going to do? She had been worrying over it for over a week. How was she ever going to tell him? What would he do when she did?
She remembered how much fun the had that day and all the other days before that. They seemed to be in a good place right now but still no one knew about them. Even though she knew he loved her a small part of her worried that he didn't tell anyone about them because he didn't think it would last or that he would be embarrassed if his friends found out. It was one thing to go and hang out in a park where no body knew you but a totally different ball game when you were around people you knew and worked with....he hadn't even asked her about getting a divorce from Fred. She would have thought that he would want her to so maybe someday....but nope didn't even ask once. Truth was the divorce was almost final. Her and Fred had worked everything out and all they needed was the final draft to be singed and that should happen later that week but she hadn't mentioned it to Bosco. She was going to but that was the night they got in that stupid fight and it slipped her mind and then it never really came up again so she just left it hoping that he would bring it up but he never did.
This wasn't making her job any easier. Sure he was great with Emily and Charlie more then great actually and yes she found herself dreaming of a life with him, a family with him but how was she suppose to tell him if he didn't want anybody to know about them, didn't care if she got a divorce from her husband or not? How was she ever going to tell him she was pregnant?
