Bosco sat at the kitchen table, tapping his fingers against it impatiently. He looked at his watch again and yelled, "Come on Faith! We're going to be late!"
Faith came down the hallway brushing her hair, "Will you take it easy, It's not going to take us over an hour to get there."
"What if we have car trouble?, What if we get stuck in traffic or something?"
"Ok, Ok I'll be ready in a couple of minutes, promise." She gave him a wink as she turned around to go back to her bedroom.
Bosco just shook his head, how could she be so calm about this? He looked at his watch again and was opening his mouth to call her again when she came around the corner.
"Don't even Bosco."
He gave her his best, 'What? I didn't do anything' look.
"It's not going to work, I know you too well"
He shrugged and then got up, "Are you sure you're ready now?"
"Yes, we can go now. Geez.."
They were both walking towards the door, Faith infront of Bosco when all of a sudden she whirled around and ran back down the hallway.
"Faith what did you forg..." He heard her getting sick. ".......Never mind." He went to the bathroom to see if she was ok. He found her sitting on the floor not to far from the toilet. He kneeled in front of her brushing her hair behind her ear. "You ok?" She nodded. He got up and wet a cloth for her and got her a glass of water, He handed her the water and she rinsed her mouth when she was done he kneeled back down and started gently wiping her face.
"Morning sickness?"
"Morning sickness." She nodded.
Bosco stood up and gave her his hand to help her up. He felt bad for her having to go through this but inside he was excited by it. It was all becoming real This was really happening, they were really going to have a baby. A smile spread across his face. Faith had noticed and gave him a questioning look.
"I um Faith I'm not glad you're sick , it's just that..well..." he stuttered.
Soon she was smiling at him, he was so cute when he was like this. "I know Bos, I know....Hey we better get going, you only gave us an hour to go a couple of blocks." Her grin getting wider.
"Hey better safe then sorry" He grinned back. "You sure you're ok?"
She nodded and pulled his hand she was still holding and led him out of the apartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Forty minutes later they arrived and were getting off the elevator.
"See we have twenty minutes to spare Bosco, I told you we didn't have to leave so early."
"Well we would have had more time if there was someplace to park, you'd think they would have a bigger parking lot."
Faith just rolled her eyes, If he was going to be like this every time she went to the doctors then this was going to be a long pregnancy.
They walked down the long hallway until they reached the last door on the left. They entered the room, Bosco was surprised to see how many people were in the waiting room but remembered that Faith had said that there was more then one doctor in this office. He looked around for a place to sit while Faith went to tell the receptionist she was there for her appointment. He spotted a chair over by the window. He went over and sat down.
Faith walked over to Bosco, noticing that there were no other free chairs around she frowned, "and where am I suppose to sit?"
"Right here." Bosco grinned as he grabbed her waist and sat her down on his lap.
She tried to get up but he had already wrapped his arms around her waist and was holding her tightly. "Bos we can't do this."
"Why not? It's not like we're sitting here making out or anything, Where else are you suppose to sit? If they didn't want this kinda stuff happening then they should really look into putting more chairs in here."
She had to laugh at his reasoning, "I guess you have a point."
He felt her start to relax as he leaned back on the soft cushiony chair. He kept his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder as she rested her head against his.
They just sat there talking and looking at some baby magazines, laughing and the occasional kiss, before long it was time to go to into the doctors office. Faith stood up and began to walk to were the nurse had went. She noticed that Bosco was still sitting down.
"Aren't you coming?"
"Well I didn't know if you wanted me too."
"Of course I want you in there with me, "she smiled. "This is our baby I want you there every single step of the way."
He quickly stood up from his chair and began to walk with her. He had wanted to go into the office with her but wasn't sure she would want him there at first. He was hoping that she would ask him.
Before they turned down the hallway to the doctors office, they stood their, as if this was the moment their new life started, She grabbed his hand, "You ready?"
"More then ready," he grinned. They disappeared down the hall and into an office.
They had been so caught up in there own little world that neither of them had noticed a person they both knew sitting in the far corner of the waiting room, her face hidden by a children's book. She sat there still picking her jaw off the floor from what she had just witnessed for the last twenty minutes or so.
"Miss Zambrano, the doctor can see Joey now."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They had been waiting in the office for only five minutes when an elderly white haired man briskly walked in, file in hand.
"Sorry I'm late." He said as he sat down at his desk. "So Faith how have you been feeling? Any problems."
"I've been feeling fine, everything seems to be going ok."
"She started getting morning sickness" Bosco quietly spoke, not sure if he should talk.
The Doctor smiled, "I'm sorry, where is my head today, I'm Doctor Harris." He said as he held out his hand to shake Bosco's, "And you would be, Maurice Boscorelli." He said after he skimmed the front page of the file.
"Yes sir, that would be me."
"It's good that you came here with Faith, many fathers skip the early parts."
Bosco just nodded and smiled. He was trying to control the butterflies in his stomach. He didn't expect to be so nervous for this.
"So morning sickness has started. That is a good sign, it should only last a couple of weeks, but you probably remember that." He smiled. "Well we'll get you on the table and take a look at that baby of your's then after we'll discuss if you should be put on any vitamins or take any special precautions"
Faith went behind the curtain and changed into a gown as the Dr. Harris and Bosco stayed at the desk talking,
"Doctor you said special precautions, do you think something is wrong?" Bosco asked nervously.
"Oh no not at all son, Faiths a young healthy woman, she'll be fine, but we need to keep an eye on her and make sure she stays that way."
Bosco felt him self ease up. He liked this doctor, he was older then he expected but he seemed to know what he was talking about. He had been the same one to deliver Charlie so he couldn't have been that bad.
Faith was ready for her examination now, the doctor motioned for Bosco to stand beside her bed and then went and began to take out the ultrasound equipment. "Now for this one we wont be able to see much, the baby is still pretty small." Faith and Bosco both nodded with understanding. With in minutes the doctor had the baby on the screen and the sound of his heartbeat was filling the room.
Faith felt Bosco squeezing her hand tighter, she looked up to see a tear slide down his cheek.
He looked at her, "That's our baby Faith, our baby."
Bosco couldn't describe what he was feeling at that moment, it wasn't like anything else he had ever experienced. It was pride, joy, excitement all rolled into one plus a million other things. He couldn't believe he was hearing the baby's heartbeat. He closed his eyes and just listened to the sound. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. He would remember this moment for the rest of his life.
Faith felt a tear slide down her cheek now, She had been through this twice before but it never got less amazing or special. A whole new person was growing inside her because her and Bosco loved each other.
Dr. Harris shut off the monitors and let Faith get dressed again. He handed a photo of the ultrasound to Bosco,"There you go son, your baby's first picture."
Bosco was still speechless from the whole ordeal, so he just nodded and mumbled a thank you as he stared at the picture. 'Wow' he thought.
After Faith was changed, Dr. Harris told them she was doing just fine. everything was going as it should be. He put her on prenatal vitamins and gave them pamphlets to look through. Bosco grabbed them and started skimming through them. He was going to learn everything he could.
Before long they were back in his Mustang and heading home.
"Wow, this is really happening isn't Faith?.... We're having a baby, we're starting a family."
Faith put her hand on her stomach and smiled, "Yeah we really are."
For the first time since he heard the news that she was pregnant it had finally sunk in. His mind started racing, things would have to change, he couldn't have a baby like this or raise a family. He had lots of things to figure out.

Meanwhile, a few streets away, Kim rushed into the firehouse. "You'll never believe what I just saw!"
