PAST THE POINT
Chapter 4 It's Who You Know
Times like this Bosco felt like there was nothing he couldn't do as long as Seajae was by his side. He'd become a husband, a father, a better man. He had been able to love like he had never loved before. The woman who layed next to him was his savior. As much as he told himself he didn't deserve her he thanked God every day for letting him have her. The things that mattered to him ten years ago were just vauge memories. His job was the only thing that had mattered. Bosco knew that one day it would all come to an end. Seajae would be by his side even when work wouldn't. Seajae and his kids. He laughed. Who would of thought Maurice Boscorelli would ever have kids. One, let alone three. Three little lives that depend on him to make the right choices. To protect them from the world till they are old enought to face it on their own.
"Bosco?" Seajae rolled over and opened her eyes.
"Yeah babe?"
"Your thinking too hard." She proped herself up on her elbow and ran her hand down his stubbled cheek.
"Are you ever sorry you married me?"
"Where is this coming from?"
"Is there one day in all the time that we've been together that you thought 'Why the hell did I marry this punk'?"
"Maurice Boscorelli I thank God every day that I found a wonderful caring man that treats me right and is the best husband and father he could be." She stroked his cheek. "I can honestly say I have never been sorry I married you."
"Sometimes I think you could of done better."
"They don't get much better then you Bosco." She kissed him. "I love you so much it hurts everytime we're apart." He turned toward her and laid his hand on her hip and pulled her toward him.
"What the hell did I do to deserve you?"
"MMM Just lucky I guess." She kissed him softly, slowly deepening the kiss. "I'm the luckest woman in the world." He pulled her on top of him and showed her that he was the lucky one.

The phone rang. Seajae rolled over and found her cell phone.
"Boscorelli."
"I didn't wake you did I?" Susan Lewis's voice sounded distant.
"No.. well yeah but I think we needed to get up anyway." She looked for the clock but it must of gotten knocked off the table somehow. "What time is it?"
"Three o'clock."
"Oh god...It's still only Saturday right?" Susan laughed.
"Yeah. Hey Bosco said you had tickets to tomorrow's game."
"Yeah. He got them for me for Chistmas. Why?"
"I have a friend who has a box. He asked Susie and me to come along. Susie metioned you were going to the game and he offered to set you guys up to."
"Wow. That would be great. Just tell us where you want to meet and we'll be there."
"Will Call window at ten sound good."
"Great....But one thing Susan."
"What's that?"
"I'm a Packer fan."
"See I knew you weren't perfect." Seajae lauged and hung up the phone. She serched for the clock and found it on the floor. "Talk about your wild rides." She looked at her husband and smiled. God he was perfect. She laid back down and dialed home to find out if her mother in law and crew still had thier sanity.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-
"Seajae and Maurice Boscorelli, John Carter and Abby Lockheart." Bosco and Seajae had stopped at the hospital on the way out to dinner to see how Susie was doing.
"Nice to meet the people who brought Susie home." Seajae liked the young doctor on sight. "Susan was loosing a lot of sleep over it."
"I'm glad we could help. And thank you ahead of time for tomorrow."
"My grandparents have had a box as long as I can remember and I hardly ever get to go. And all of us rarly ever get the same day off." Carter smiled at them. "It's the least I could do. So where are you going to dinner?"
"I don't know again my husband is surpising me."
"I hardly ever can so don't get used to it." Bosco looked around the nearly empty ER. "I bet you don't get many nights like this."
"Got that right. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop." Abby laughed.
"You better get a nap in if your going to make it though the game tomorrow after working sixteen hours."
"Seaj, we better get going. Our reservations are for eight."
"Hey do you two need a wake up call." Susan called from the hall. "Wouldn't want you sleeping till three o'clock again."
"Call us at eight just to be on the safe side." Bosco and Seajae waved good-bye to thier new friends and headed out to dinner.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*
"I never saw Lake Michigan in the winter." Seajae looked out the window of the restaurant.
"You spent a lot of time here?" Bosco realized he hardly knew what she did before New York six five years ago.
"A year when I was in college." Seajae looked at Bosco. "I spent more time in the law library then I did catching the sights."
"Didn't know I married a book worm."
"Not even close. I hated every minute of it. All I wanted to know is how I could nial Mueler to the wall. From the day I started to the day I became a Marshall it was all about making him pay."
"You did in the end."
"But too many people got hurt before I could take him down."
"You did what you had to do Seajae. No matter what he's gone now." Bosco took her hand. "Your a super cop and you got the job done."
"I know. But sometimes I still feel guilty that I didn't get him sooner." She smiled and took a sip of her wine. "But I don't feel guilty that the road lead to you and my life I have today."
"Don't ever feel guilty about that."
"Never."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-
It was cold but Seajae wanted to walk. Bosco knew she was missing the kids as much as he was. But she looked truly happy for the first time in a long time. They walked down the street hand and hand not saying a word. He watched her as she looked up at the stars. Her blond hair glistening with the snowflakes that fell of the trees with the breeze.
"Snow isn't this white in New York is it?"
"I don't think so. It has something to do with the ozone over the city." Bosco laughed. Seajae picked up some snow and made a snow ball. "Don't even think about it woman."
"What are you going to do if I think about it?"
"That dress is pretty skimpy to be talking trash."
"What you think I can't take a little cold snow?"
"Honey I can tell your cold already if you know what I mean." Seajae threw the snow ball. It landed on Bosco's chest.
"Ohhh, I thought about." She took three steps backward.
"MMMM you are so in trouble." Bosco took a hand full of snow and tossed it at his wife. She turn and ran, laughing. He finnally cought up to her at the corner and picked her up and swung her around. "Your so going to pay for that."
"Promise." She kissed him.
"Oh you better believe I promise." The cell phone ringing broke them apart. Bosco set Seajae down and she dug in her coat pocket to aswer it.
"Boscorelli."
"Seajae, it's Billy."
"Hey Billy, what's up."
"There was a fire tonight. In the building where you found the girl and her mom."
"Arson?"
"Could be. Neighbors heard somthing from the apartment just before the place lit up. A lamp breaking or something."
"Thanks for the heads up Billy. Why are you calling and not Jimmy."
"He's off tonight. Ireland's sick and so is Kim."
"Well give them my best and thanks again." Seajae looked at Bosco. "Chleo's and Susie's building just went up in smoke."
"You think it's the same guy?"
"He went back to find out who might have Susie."
"We searched that place. Susan's name wasn't anywhere."
"God I hope so. I hate to have this guy turn up." Seajae wrapped her coat around her. Suddenly feeling cold. "I know a couple of guys with the PD here. I think we might want to give them a heads up."
"We don't even know what this guy lookes like."
"But Susie does."
"She never said if she did or didn't see him Seajae. Neither one of us wanted to push it."
"Maybe we need to push it."
"Maybe."
"If she knows the guy it might just save us a lot of hassle." Bosco hailed a cab.
"Let's go back to the hotel. Your shivering." He knew is was more from fear for Susie then from the cold because he felt the same way. Maybe bringing Susie home now hadn't been the best idea.
"Don't." Seajae grabbed his hand and held it tight.
"Don't what?"
"She's safer here then anywhere else. In New York she'd be in the system. Here she's not on paper yet. And when she is Susan has her real birth certificate. Chleo had theirs altered."
"I hope your right."
"So do I honey, so do I."
