Chapter Three-It Only Hurts When I Breath
Bosco turned over and reached for Seajae but she wasn't there. He heard coughing coming from the living room. He got up and went to find out what was wrong.
"Seaj?" She was laying on the couch. The light next to it was on and he could see her pale face. "Baby?" He went to her and out his hand on her forhead. She was burning up. "Seajae?"
"Please don't yell." She opened her eyes.
"I'm going to get Faith and then get you to the hospital."
"It's just the flu baby. I didn't want to wake you with my coughing."
"Humor me okay." He went into the bedroom and got dressed and called Faith.
"This better be good." Faith answered the phone in two rings.
"Sleeping or doing the nasty?"
"Bosco your sick. Like I'm going to tell you? What's wrong?"
"Seajae's sick. I'm taking her into the ER. Can you come stay with the kids?"
"You bet. I'll be over in five minutes."
"Finish up what you were doing."
"Ha ha." She hung up the phone. Bosco slipped on his shoes and grabbed some clothes for his wife. Seajae was sitting up when he came back into the room. The front door opened and Faith came in.
"Seajae honey lets get some close on so we can get you to the hospital."
"It hurts Bosco."
"What hurts baby?"
"What hurts?"
"My chest."
"When does it hurt?"
"When I breath."
"Let's get you to the hospital." Bosco held looked at Faith and he knew Seajae was bad because even Faith looked worried. "Just take it easy and we'll be there in no time." He wrapped her in the blanket she had been sleeping with and lifted her up.
"I'm too heavy Bosco."
"Your not." He carried her down the flight of stairs to the car and put her in and buckled her up. "Just relax." Bosco got in and started the car. He looked over at Seajae and thought she looked paler then before. He made it to the ER in record time.

"Bosco?" Dr. Miller came into the room.
"Hey doc." The doctor looked at Seajae laying in the bed.
"Pnemonia. First time she's ever been here for something that didn't involve a fight, knife or bullet."
"As long as I've known her she's never even had a cold."
"We gave her something to sleep. She was dehydrated."
"We barly see each other anymore. I should of realized she wasn't taking care of herself again."
"Bosoco people get sick. We can't change that."
"Last night she got a call and she was standing in that freezing rain for an hour. She came home and she couldn't get warm. I held her and she shook and shook."
"Bosco listen to me. She's going to be okay. It's taken alot out of her but she'll be okay." Dr. Miller put his hand on the younger mans shoulder. "Bosco?"
"Yeah doc?"
"Get some rest. She's out of the woods. Her temp is down. Her vitals are good. Mary is in here every half hour checking on her like a mother hen. Go home and see your kids and have a hot shower and a long nap." The doctor looked into Bosco's tiered eyes. "Thats an order Boscorelli." Bosco stood up.
"Okay. Jimmy and Kim are on there way here any way." Bosco checked his watch. It was seven thirty. They had been at the hospital nearly all night and Seajae hadn't woken up.
"She's getting the rest she needs. Home. now!" Bosco kissed his wife good bye and headed home.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Seajea woke up with a start. She wasn't sure where she was. She looked over to see Jimmy reading a magazine.
"Hey." Jimmy looked up and smiled.
"Hey yourself?"
"What time is it?"
"About five thirty. You've been out for awhile now. Bosco went home to get some rest and came back about two and you were still out so he took Angel to her doctors appointment at four. He should be back soon."
"You draw the babysit Seajae straw?" Jimmy laughed,
"I was the only one who didn't have to work so I volenteered."
"Thanks Jimmy."
"Not a problem. How are you feeling?"
"Better. I can breath. That's the scariest feeling, isn't it?"
"Not being able to breath? Oh yeah." Jimmy sat forward and looked into his friends tirered eyes. "Your going to be okay?"
"Yeah. I just....." Tears fell down her cheeks. "I'm so scared Jimmy." He moved closer to her and took her hand.
"Of what Seajae?"
"Of dieing."
"Your not gonna die Seajae."
"I was so scared. I couldn't breath and when I could it hurt so much."
"Seajae your going to be fine. The doctor told Bosco when he was here that a little rest and a lot of TLC and you'll be fine." Jimmy stood up. "I'll go get him if you want and he can tell you himself."
"No." She started to dose off again. "Just take care of Bosco if I do die." Bosco walked in just them and looked at Jimmy.
"I keep trying to tell her she's not going to die."
"Seajae?" Bosco went to her. "Baby your going to be fine."
"I just got scared."
"I know. You've never really been sick before." Jimmy stepped back and let Bosco console his wife. "I know it was scary but honey your going to be just fine."
"I'm sorry. I just...."
"There's nothing to be sorry for." He kissed her forhead. "Just rest and get better." Bosco had never seen his wife so freaked about anything. Had she had a dream? The one where Bosco and the kids are all alone? He closed his eyes.
"Bosco?" Jimmy put his hand on his friends shoulder. "You okay?"
"Yeah." He opened his eyes and looked at his wifes sleeping form. "I just want her to be okay."
"You heard the doctor. Bos she's never been sick before. Other then a hang over now and then she's never had the flu, a cold, a sinus infection. It's just freaking her out." Bosco looked at Jimmy.
"I hope your right."
"Man, I know I am. " Bosco looked at his wife and prayed .
