"Bosco! Would you sit down, you're giving me a headache." Faith said as she laid down fully on the couch. Resting her arm over her eyes.
"How can I sit down Faith? They are going to be home any minute. Are you sure we should do this? Maybe it's too soon. Maybe we can wait a little while longer." He said still pacing back and forth.
Faith let out a sigh and sat back up. "Boz there is nothing to worry about, they adore you."
Finally standing still he stopped and looked at her. "Faith you don't get it. I'm not going to be fun uncle Bosco anymore, I'm going to be the bad guy."
She just sat there and waited for him to continue.
"Every kids dream Faith is to have there family together. It's all any kid wants and here I come in and make it impossible for them to ever get that again."
Faith was finally getting what he was saying. "Boz you don't have to worry. They are both ok with Fred and I being divorced. We've talked about this with them and they are accepting it."
Bosco shook his head. "It's different Faith. They accept it because the reality of it hasn't set in yet. Wait until they hear that not only are we seeing each other but that you're going to have a baby. It's going to be a whole new ball game." He began to pace again.
She wished he wouldn't worry like this. She was sure the kids would approve of them. They loved him. All she ever heard about these days was the fun they had when they would all go out together. They might be shocked at first maybe confused but she was sure they would be fine about the whole thing. If only she could make Bosco see it her way. Even if they didn't, what would that matter? She loved her kids more then anything but she also loved Bosco and the baby and they would just have to figure this thing out because there was no way she'd give up any of them.
Noticing that he was back to his pacing she let out a soft sigh and stood up. She grabbed his hand and pulled him down on to the couch beside her.
"Faith."
"Bosco just breath, it's going to be fine."
"I don't want them to hate me Faith." He said so quietly that she barely heard him.
"They won't Boz, they won't" She said as she intertwined her fingers with his and gave him a smile.
When she smiled at him he could feel himself starting to relax. She could always make him feel better. What would he do without his Faith? He hoped she was right. He couldn't bare to have them hate him. He loved them very much more then he ever thought possible. He was about to ask her something when he heard the knob of the door turning.
Charlie and Emily came in and threw their bags on the floor by the door.
"Hi" they said as both went up to Faith and Bosco. Each taking a turn and hugging the both of them.
Faith looked over Emily's shoulder at Bosco who was giving a hug to Charlie. She tried to let him know that everything was going to be fine. All he had to do was take in this moment and realize that he mattered to them. Bosco gave her back a smile that was meant to be reassuring her that he had seen her point. That he was sure the kids would be ok with the news but she could still see the fear that lingered in his eyes.
She wondered if the hurt he went through as a child would ever leave him. She knew that was what was causing this. All he ever wanted was to be loved by his family, to have them care for him but in the end they couldn't do that for him and that fact had turned him into what he was now. He built walls around himself so he wouldn't get hurt like that again. She had broken through some of them but she knew there was still a few standing and it scared him when he was about to let someone else through because what if they broke him again? Over the years she had only seen him let a couple of people in but in the end they ended up hurting him. She had promised herself years ago that she would never do that. If she was lucky enough to have his friendship and his love she would never hurt him, never let him regret that he ever trusted her. She hoped she was right and Emily and Charlie would understand this because she didn't want Bosco to be hurt.
Emily just finished saying how boring it was being at Fred's for the weekend and had gotten her and Charlie a snack when Faith asked them to come sit down. Bosco gave her one more look asking if this was the right time if she was sure about this. She gave him a reassuring smile. He took a deep breath and listened as Faith began to talk.
"Um, We have something we would like to tell you," Gee this seemed to be so much easier in her head. The speech she had practiced over and over again was gone. She didn't remember how she had planed to word all this so she a breath and just hoped she could get it all out with out it sounding weird. "You guys have probably noticed that Bosco has been spending a lot of time with us these last few months, and...um...well...."
Bosco just stared at her, this was her great way of telling them they were together? He was doomed. He was so busy listening to Faith ramble on that he didn't notice that Emily and Charlie were starting to smirk.
"....so I guess what I'm trying to say it that Bosco and I are seeing each other." She waited to hear what they would say.
Bosco turned his attention to them holding his breath while waiting for the reaction. What he and Faith got was giggling from the both of them. That was weird, he didn't expect that. That couldn't have been good news. He looked over at Faith who was looking back at him with just as much confusion.
Finally Emily and Charlie had quit there giggling fit and looked back at them. Emily began to speak. "We know."
"What?" Bosco asked before Faith even had a chance to open her mouth.
Grinning widely Emily continued, "We know, we've know for months. You guy's didn't think you had actually kept us in the dark about this did you?"
"You knew?" Faith asked.
"Yup." Charlie said proud that he and Emily had kept there little secret.
"Why didn't you guys say anything? How did you find out?"
"We figured you guys would say something when you were ready. It didn't take a genius to figure this out. You guys are always together. We've seen more of you in the past few months then in all the time you and mom have been partners. Then mom got that pretty necklace that she never takes off and well we saw you guys kissing." She finished with a grin.
"What!?" Both said in unison.
Charlie began to giggle again, "I forgot my bag once when I was suppose to go over to dads, so me and Em came up to get it. and you guys were kissing away."
"Oh god, I.. we didn't mean for you to find out like that." Bosco said in a panic.
As if sensing his fear, Emily walked over to him and gave him another hug, "Don't worry we didn't see anything that would corrupt our innocent minds."
Faith still in shock asked, "So you guy's are ok with this? If you have any worries or concerns we want to know about them no matter what you think. Good or bad we want to hear them."
"We're great with this." Charlie said beaming. "We were wondering when you guys would finally let us know so we could tell you we knew. It sure took you long enough."
Bosco was amazed at their reaction. He never thought it would go like this. "You guys are sure about this?"
Emily and Charlie both nodded their heads.
Remembering that Em and Charlie had ran home and told her the minute that they found out about Fred's new girl friend she wondered if they did the same when they had found out about her and Bosco, "Does your father know about this?"
"Are you nuts? We're not crazy. We weren't going to be the ones to tell dad about this, that's your job." Well that was somewhat reassuring. She had wanted to be the one to tell Fred about her and Bosco and the baby but she wasn't looking forward to it. She knew how he felt about Bosco and it wasn't going to be easy.
"So can we go out for pizza now?" Charlie asked.
"Not just yet. There is one more thing we need to tell you."
"What?" Emily asked. She had thought she knew everything there was to know. What more could they have to tell them. Maybe they were going to get married, that would be cool.
"We, we're going to have a baby." 'That's it Faith don't ease it in on them or anything.'
Both kids mouths dropped, they couldn't believe what they just heard.
Charlie was the first to speak, "Cool! But it better be a boy."
Ok one down one to go. Both Faith and Bosco turned there attention to Emily who was still just sitting there not saying a word.
"A baby?"
Faith just nodded waiting to see what would happen next. It had always been hard to read Emily.
Emily shot up from her seat beside Bosco into her mothers arms and gave her a big hug. "That is so great. I'm so happy."
Faith hugged her back hard. She felt so happy herself. She had two of the most amazing kids in the world. She looked over Emily's shoulder like she did before and locked eyes with Bosco. She could see the happiness in his eyes. The fear that he had in there was gone. Another wall down, safely.
"So who's up for pizza?" Bosco asked standing up.
"I am!" Charlie ran to the door. Emily did the same.
Bosco and Faith smiled and walked behind them down the hall. Holding hands. It was official the rest of there lives were beginning and they were off to a great start. Nothing was going to stop them.
