Rainy Season
Chapter 1
******
Hey there, this is the second story of my Bosco/Faith shipper series (hopefully I will soon have a name for the series!)...I still can't believe that my first attempt at a B/F shipper story has turned into a series! Hope you enjoy it.
If you haven't read LET THE SUN SHINE THROUGH you more than likely will want to go do that :)

This story is for all you shippers out there! Especially Dem and Angie!

"Every lifetime has a little bit of rain. This is just your rainy season."

Faith walked through the backdoor. "Mom where's Emily?"
"She ran upstairs. What happened?"
Faith sighed. "She saw me and Bosco kissing."
"You and Bosco? Since when?"
"I'll explain later. Right now I need to talk to my daughter." She climbed the stairs to the bedroom where Emily always stayed when she was with her grandparents. "Emily honey? Can I come in?"
"No."
"Emily sweetie. Let me in."
The door opened slowly. "Is he gone?" her voice was full of anger.
Faith nodded. "Bosco went home."
"Good!" Emily went and sat back down on the bed. "I hate him!"
"Don't say that Em. You don't mean that."
"Yes I do! It's all his fault!"
"What's his fault?"
"Dad was right, Bosco's the reason you got divorced. It's his fault!"
"That's not true Emily. Bosco had nothing to do with the divorce."
"No?! Then why was he kissing you?!"
"Because he loves me and I love him."
"So he *is* the reason! You and dad split up because of Bosco!"
"No Emily. I filed for divorce because your dad and I couldn't live together anymore. Bosco had *nothing* to do with that. Bosco and I were best friends, nothing more."
"Best friends don't kiss like that!"
Faith took a deep breath. "Bosco and I went to Florida together, and while we were there we realized that we had feelings for each other. But this was *after* I knew there was no chance for your father and I to save our marriage. The divorce isn't Bosco's fault. It's mine and your dad's." She looked at Emily who sat with her arms crossed. "Em, being with Bosco makes me happy. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm sorry you found out this way, and so is Bosco. Please give him a chance."
Emily shook her head. "I don't have to like him," she said matter-of-factly. "You can't make me like him."
"You always liked Bosco before."
"That was different," she said rudely.
"Emily, I love Bosco, and one day you'll understand."
She looked at her mother for a moment then spoke softly. "Are you going to marry him?"
"Not any time soon. We're just dating right now." She sat down next to Emily and hugged her. "Bosco and I didn't plan this Em; it just happened."
"I still don't like him."
*****
Faith went back downstairs and found her mother sitting at the kitchen table. "So, you and Bosco?"
"Save the lecture mom."
"No lecture Faith. I just want to know what's going on."
Faith sat down across from her. "He and I have been partners, best friends for years, but I *never* thought of him as anything more than that. Our vacation got scheduled for the same time. I didn't have any plans, and he invited me to go to Florida with him."
"And?"
"And I had to get away, so I went with him. Being with him just felt so right. Neither of us knew if it was going anywhere, but we're together now, and we've decided to take it slow." She paused and looked at her mother. "Mom, I fell in love with Bosco."
*****
Faith walked into the locker room at 6:15 to find Bosco already in uniform and sitting in front of his open locker. "You're early," she said with a grin as she walked over to him. He looked up at her and she saw the dark circles around his eyes. "You look like shit."
"Good morning to you too."
"Did you get any sleep last night?" she asked with concern.
"Not that I remember."
"Nightmares?"
He shook his head. "I couldn't keep my eyes closed long enough to have a nightmare."
She sat down next to him. "Why couldn't you sleep?"
"I screwed up bad last night Faith. She hates me and I don't blame her."
"Emily?" He nodded. "She just needs time Bosco. You'll see."
"You don't understand Faith. She's never going to forgive me."
"Sure she will. Emily's a good kid Bos, she'll get over it."
Bosco stood up and slammed his locker shut. He kept one hand on the locker handle and put his other hand higher up the structure as he leaned against his locker and looked down at the floor. He was trying not to erupt with anger. "I was a pretty good kid too," he said softly with a hint of pain in his voice. "But I never got over it." He pushed away from his locker and without looking at Faith left the room.
*****
After Faith changed she found Bosco outside behind the station. He was sitting on the back steps. She sat down next to him. "You know, it's Emily who has the problem, not us."
He shook his head and looked up at the sky. "Faith if Emily has a problem, *we* have a problem."
"She's just a kid Bosco. It's a phase. It won't last long."
"Really?!" he snapped. "Cause my 'phase' as you call it lasted from the day my dad left until the day I left for the Rangers. It lasted until I decided I just didn't give a damn anymore!"
"What?"
"Even though I hated my dad for everything he did to us. I still loved him. He was my father." He forced a chuckle. "I still wanted the bastard to come back, but he never did. So *every* time my mom brought a guy home I would make life hell for them."
"Emily's not like that."
"No?! Well that's what happens. And it's going to be a hundred times worse because," he was interrupted as another officer came down the steps. Bosco continued in a harsh whisper. "Because she saw me kiss you. What the hell was I thinking?!"
"Bosco you didn't know she was going to see."
"But I should have thought about it! I should have realized that she might find out. Dammit! I didn't even give us a chance to ease the kids into the idea."
She put her hand on his shoulder. "You need to stop beating yourself up over this. We'll figure this out." Faith put her hand on his chin and turned his face toward her. "I need you Bosco. Don't flake out on me now."
He stood up. "We're going to be late for roll call."
Faith grabbed his arm and stood up. She got right up in his face. "What happened to the guy I fell in love with? Where is the guy who kept telling me everything was going to be all right?"
"That was Maurice." He grabbed the badge on his shirt and held it out. "He disappeared when I put this on!" Bosco walked back into the station.

Author's Note: The idea for the title and the quote ("Every lifetime has a little bit of rain. This is your rainy season.") Believe it or not actually came from an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 :) This was something said to Colin (Jason Wiles) by his father.
