PAST THE POINT

Chapter 3 Time Off For Good Behavior

"Who were those people?" John Carter came up behind Susan.

"New York police."

"What did they want?"

"They brought Susie home." John looked surprised.

"Hey that's great." He saw the sadness in her eyes. "Cleo?"

"Dead. It wasn't like I wasn't expecting it sooner or later but, you know it still hurts."

"How's Susie taking it?"

"Okay I guess. I'm meeting them at Doc Magoo's after my shift. What I'm I going to do Carter. I don't know what to say or do. It's been six years." Jonh gave his friend a hug.

"It'll all work out Susan. Just give it time."

"I hope so."

"He's good with her." An hour later Susan sat with Seajae and watched Bosco playing a video game with Susie.

"Yeah. He's every little girls dream." Seajae smiled. "Or girls have him wraped around thier fingure."

"How old are they?"

"Angel will be four in March and Hope is two and half months."

"Bosco said you have three."

"Makenzie is going to be one on Christmas day. He's a daddy's boy too." Seajae looked at Bosco and thoought about how far they had come in the past few months. "They all seem to just radiate toward him."

"You sound a little jelous."

"No. Just enveous some times of the way he can just know what they need. What I need, when we need it."

"You two seem very happy."

"We are most of the time. When we arn't fighting over the way our careers take us sometimes."

"At least you found someone who understands your job. The men I date don't understand why I do it."

"Men are frightened of a strong woman. Afraid they won't be needed."

"It's not that way with you two though is it?"

"No. I was afraid he didn't need me more then once and we both got over that one okay."

"Your a lucky woman Seajae."

"Thanks." Bosco and Susie came back to the table and sat down. Bosco kissed his wife. "You ready to head out cowboy?"

"You guys going back tonight?"

"Nope. We have tickets to the football game on Sunday." Bosco smiled. "Early Christmas present."

"Where are you staying?"

"Bosco won't tell me. He said it's a surprise."

"Ohhhh. Sounds mysterous. Well Susie can you say good-bye to Seajae and Bosco?" They all got up.

"Bye." She hugged them both and Seajae handed Susan a bag.

"We went shopping. It's not a lot but it should get you by till you get settled."

"Seajae. I don't know what to say."

"Just sat you'll keep that girl safe and come see us in New York." Susan hugged her and Bosco. Seajae handed her a card. "Both our cell phone numbers on there. Call if you need anything."

"I will and thanks again guys." They said one more set of good-byes and headed out in directions. Bosco took his wifes hand and headed to the corner to catch a cab.

"You ready for a night you'll never forget." Seajae shivered as a cold wind blew up some snow.seperate

"As long as I'm warm I'm up for anything." "Good." Bosco whistled and got a cab and team Boscorelli set of for a couple of days of R and R.

"Your spoling me." Seajae said as Bosco kissed her. He had ordered room service and they laid in bed eating strawberries and drinking champaign.

"Only the best for my girl."

"What a way to end a long week." Seajae took a bite of strawberry and kissed her husband. "I love you."

"I love you too." Bosco looked into his wife's beautiful brown eyes. She was his lilfe. His everything and he coluld never find the words for the way he felt. He kissed her agin. He could never get enough of this woman as long as he lived.

"MMMMM I could get used to this Boscorelli. You and me. Peace and quiet."

"You wouldn't trade our kids for anything. Even peace and quiet."

"This is true but it's nice." She snuggled closer to her husband. "Can we stay here for the rest of the week end?"

"What about the football game?"

"Okay so I might have to make one exception." They laughed.

"Should I worry about you running off to be a football roadie?"

"Naaa. I got over the sports hero crushs a long time ago. Now it's a man in uniform that turns me on."

"Oh really. I happen to have one of those."

"And handcuffs?"

"Got those too."

"MMMM My dream man." He kissed her again and he knew with all the mistakes in his life he'd done something right in loving this woman. "Merry me."

"Been there. Done that." Seajae moaned as Bosco kissed her neck.

"God Boscorelli the things you do to me."

"Are you complaining?"

"NEVER!!!"

Seajae woke with a start. It had been so long since she had the dreams that when they came they hit her hard. She felt Bosco's hand on her back. She laid down in his arms and closed her eyes.

"Should I be worring?" He wispered.

"Not yet. It's just a dream."

"That's how this all starts."

"Well it was just a dream and if I over anylis it it'll only make it worse." She kissed his lightly stubbled cheek. "I wouldn't change any of it you know."

"Me either. Well maybe the part where I lost my memory. And the month you were gone. Amnd maybe..." Seajae put her finger to his lips.

"It all made us who we are." She kissed him. "Let's get some sleep." Bosco smiled.

"Who needs sleep." He rolled over taking her on top of him and kissed her.

"MMMM I guess a few more minutes wouldn't hurt." The both laughed and it was quite awhile before either of them went back to bed.

Susan watched Susie sleep. She was twelve years old. Missing six years of her nieces life was a hard pill to swollow. Cleo had walked out of that hospital in New York and never looked back. Somehow, she vowed, she would make it up to Susie. Susan turned and headed to her nice warm bed and some much needed sleep.
