A Song Remembers When



Chapter Four: Remember The Good Times



"I hope I didn't say anything to upset her." Bosco watched Chyanne retreat to the ladies room.

"It's okay Bos. I should of know it would be hard on her."

"What would be hard on her?"

"The hollidays. Holly, her daughter was born on Christmas day. She would of been thirteen." Faith wiped a tear from her eye. "She died when she was six."

"Oh man I'm sorry."

"Not as sorry as I am. Fred and I were suppose to watch her that night but she got sick and Chyanne refused to go out. Jake got mad and went out any way." Faith tore at her napkin. "By the time we got there Holly could barley breath and Chyanne was beside herself. We got her to the hospital but it was too late."

"Do they know...what happened?"

"Allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Strange thing was she'd been on it half a dozen times before." Faith looked at Bosco. "They found out later the phamacy screwed up and gave her the wrong stuff."

"Oh Jesus."

"Jake never did come home that night. She lost her daughter and her husband on the same night. He didn't know till three days later that Holly was gone."

"I'm sorry." Bosco took Faith's hand in hers.

"Chyanne and I were pregnant together. Holly was my god child. I think I miss her just as much as Jake and Chyanne. Maybe I should go check on her." She pulled her hand away and started to get up but Chyanne was already heading for the table,

"I'm sorry. Sometimes,,,," Bosco stood up and let her into the booth. He held up his hand.

"No need to explain." Chyanne looked at Faith.

"I know you miss her too Faith. She was.....everything to us for a long time."

"Honey she was the love you never had. You and Bosco are spending Christmas with me and the kids. If Fred doesn't like it he can go home to mom."

"Thanks." The waitress brought thier food and they ate in silence for a long time.

"So when is Fred coming home?" Chyanne asked.

"Sunday."

"So if you spent the day today with me he wouldn't know about it?"

"Chyanne. I need to clean."

"You and Bosco spend the day with me and on Sunday morning we'll all chip in and clean."

"Chyann....."

"Faith. Come on." She looked at Bosco.

"You okay with this Bos?"

"Hey any reason to spend the day with two of New Yorks hottests chicks." The women laughed.

"Chicks Bosco. I haven't been a chick for a good twenty years." Bosco smiled at Faith.

"Oh yes you have."

"Remeber the day we met Fred and Jake at the swimming pool?" Chyanne laughed. "They were waring those speedo's. Oh my god what a couple of geeks."

"Hey we married those geeks."

"Why was that again?" Faith laughed. She saw the light in her friends eyes.

"I think it was love or something like it."

"You even been in love Bosco?" Chyanne looked at him. She saw something there that she dare not mention. He shook his head.

"Close but nothing real."

"Are you saying Nicole wasn't real?"

"Not like you guys are talking. I never pictured her in a white gown walking down an isle or anything."

"There are laws about people like her waring white Bosco." Faith looked up and saw the startled look on her partners face. "That was outta line Bos. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I've said plenty about Fred." He smiled. "A lot worse I imagine."

"Yeah but you say it in the nicest way possible."

"When I have I ever been nice to Fred?"

"You drove us to the hospital when he had his heart attack."

"That was nice of you Bosco. I would of let him suffer a little more."

"Chyanne!"

"Sorry Faith. He is still the father of my god children."

"It's best you remeber that."

"I do. Speaking of, what do the little mosters want for Christmas?"

"Anything you give them is fine Chyanne. You and Bosco get them the cool presents."

"Hey were the cool prensent givers. I always wanted to be that. How about a new car and a motercycle?" Bosco shook his head.

"I just get them the CD's thier parents ban from them. Or the real niosy war toys."

"Wow, thats all it takes?"

"Yep, anything mom and dad won't buy." Bosco looked at Faith. "I'm already in for this year. I got Charlie a Spiderman Web blaster and Emily a gift certificate to Victoria Secrets."

"Maurice Boscorelli you better not have or you'll be eating Christmas dinner on the fire escape." Faith smiled and Chyanne laughed. It was good to have her two best friends with her. She needed this now more then ever. "So you sure you want to spend twenty four hours with us chicks?" Faith asked Bosco.

"Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday."

"Then it's settled. One good time Saturday coming up."

"It's three thirty. Are we going to sleep any time soon?"

"Pay the bill Boscorelli and I'll get us a cab." Chyanne slipped out of the booth and headed to the door.

"She's nice Faith. Thanks for inviting me."

"The nights not over Bos. Thank me if she makes it though without calling someone for bail money." Faith got up and followed Chyanne out.

"Faith...Bail? Come on she's seem so nice." Bosco threw some bills on the table and headed outside with the women. He walked out just as Chyanne was hailing a cab.....by flashing the cabbie. "Ahhh hell this is going to be a long night."
