December 12th.
(Song 12 days of Christmas)
Faith: When are you going Christmas shopping? Bosco: When are you putting up the tree? Faith: I guess this weekend. Bosco: May I remind you that it's December 12? Faith: I know. You still haven't answered my question. Bosco: I'm done (he smiles) Faith: You don't lie well! Bosco: I know. I was going this weekend. Faith: Okay, well I'll send the kids to Fred's mom's. We can go together to get the tree And shop for the kids. Bosco: What about my present? Faith: You don't get to see that until Christmas. Bosco: Oh.
It bothered Bosco that she had already bought his gifts. Either that or she was a hell of a lot better liar than he was.
Kim and Jimmy were busy putting up the Christmas tree. Joey had made some ornaments in art class that they were putting on the tree.
Jimmy: I thought that we could drop Joey off at your mom's and then go do the Shopping. Maybe have Christmas dinner here this year. Kim: That's a great idea. Jimmy: You really think so? Kim: Yeah. Jimmy: Good, you get to cook the turkey. Kim: You really think so? I'll cook a turkey.
They get to fooling around. Joey isn't home, so they feel a little more relaxed.
Carlos is out shopping for Kylie's Christmas present. He goes into a toy store and picks out a couple dolls and some Barbie stuff. He had talked to the Kinney's to see what they were getting for her. They gave him some suggestions. He paid for his purchase and headed out.
Alex and Davis were getting their apartment ready for Christmas.
Alex: Hey, why don't we have everyone over on Christmas Eve and then go to Midnight Mass together? Davis: Sounds like a good idea to me. We better check with everyone. Alex: I'll talk to the guys at work tonight. Davis: I'll check on Sully, and Boz and Faith. Alex: I hope we do this, it'll be fun.
Their tree is up. They were working on putting lights up around the apartment.
Alex: Ummm. Ty? Davis: Yeah? Alex: Look what time it is. Davis: Oh man. We're gonna be late. Alex: Let's go.
They leave for work.
Bosco and Faith are in the locker room talking when Davis walks in.
Davis: You guys seen Sully yet? Faith: Not yet. Davis: Well, when he gets here, I want to talk to the three of you. Faith: Well, when he gets here just come into my office. Davis: Alright.

Sully finishes dressing.
Alex is at the house. She and Kim are getting ready to go out.
Alex: What are you and Jimmy doing on Christmas Eve? Kim: Nothing that I know of why? Alex: Ty and I would like to have everyone over for dinner and then go to church Together. Kim: That sounds okay to me. Let me check with Jimmy though. Alex: Alright. And of course Joey is invited too. We want everyone. Kim: Okay. Alex: I still need to ask Doc and Carlos.
Davis, Bosco, and Faith are in her office. Sully walks in to join them.
Sully: What's up? Davis: Well Alex and I were thinking that maybe everyone could come over to our place On Christmas Eve. Have some dinner, go to Mass together. Faith: That sounds good to me. Get the kids into a new routine. Bosco: I'm in. Sully: Yeah, sounds great. Faith: You want us to bring anything? Davis: We were thinking of making it like a potluck dinner. We'll make the turkey and Everyone else brings something. Faith: Great. Davis: Yeah, bring the kids. Just let us know how many people we have to prepare for. Faith: You can count me in for four then. Davis: Alright. Thanks guys.
Doc and Carlos are in the house when Kim and Alex return.
Alex: Hey guys. Doc: Hey. Alex: What are you two doing for Christmas Eve? Doc: Nothing that I know of. Carlos: Maybe seeing Kylie, why? Alex: Ty and I wanted to have everyone over for dinner and maybe church afterwards. Carlos: If I can, could I bring Kylie? Alex: Sure, we want it to be a family event. We'll make the turkey and everyone else can Bring something else. Carlos: Sure, I'll be there. Doc: Me too.
Everyone is set to be there. The shift ends and everyone heads out.
December 13th.
Bosco: I'll meet you at the house. I'm going to go buy your Christmas presents.
He kisses her and then heads out. He thinks to himself in the car. "What am I going to get her?" He decides on some ideas. He goes into Macy's. He picks out what he wants, pays for them and then has them wrapped. He's proud of himself. He puts the packages in the trunk of his car and heads into work.
Sully too was out Christmas shopping. He bought some stuff for his sister's kids. He also bought presents for Charlie, Emily, and Adrienne. He then picks out something for Alex, Davis, Bosco, and Faith. They were his true family. He puts the presents on the table in his apartment and then gets ready for work.
Alex and Ty are also out shopping.
Davis: What do you want to get Jimmy and Kim? Alex: I don't know. Davis: You better decide something soon. We do have to be at work in an hour. Alex: How about a DVD player? Davis: That's fine with me. Alex: Joey? Davis: Buy him a Playstation game or something. Alex: How about this one? (she's holding an off road racing game) Davis: Fine. Let's get going.
They pay for their stuff and head off to work.
Kim is waiting on Alex when she gets there.
Kim: Hey. Alex: Hey. What's up? Kim: Jimmy and I were wondering what to buy Ty for Christmas. Alex: The man really doesn't want much. Kim: Oh. Any ideas? Alex: You could buy him some DVDs or maybe a couple video games for his Playstation 2. Kim: Okay. I'll come up with something.
Alarm: Squad 55, Ladder 100, Adam 55-3, Boyd 55-3. Heavy smoke and fire 1257 E. 105th.
Alex: Let's roll.
Bosco walks into the locker room. Faith and Sully are talking. Sully and Davis head out on patrol.
Faith: Get your shopping done? Bosco: Yeah. Faith: Where'd you go? Bosco: I can't tell you that. Faith: Oh come on Boz. Bosco: (smirks) Nope, can't tell. Central: 55 David Central. Possible shots fired 2252 Amsterdam. Bosco: 2252 Amsterdam. (to Faith) Shit! Where's Sydney. Faith: She just called in, can't make it. Bosco: Shit! Faith: Let's go!
They jump in the car. Bosco speeds off towards the call. They arrive to hear a woman screaming. They head up the stairs with their guns drawn. They reach the apartment, but the screams have stopped. They take positions on each side of the doorway. Faith knocks. Faith: Police! Open up.
No response. Again Faith knocks.
Faith: Open the door!
She looks at Bosco. There is no response. Bosco nods and kicks in the door. They rush in. They search the apartment room by room. They find the woman who was screaming, she has been shot in the head. Faith checks her pulse. She's still alive.
Bosco: 55 David to Central. We need a bus on a rush to this location.
Sully and Davis arrive at the scene. Shortly after Doc and Carlos arrive.
Doc: Is it safe to go in yet? Sully: Bosco's still searching the apartment. Follow us.
They continue to search the apartment. They get to a room with a closed door. They take positions on each side. Bosco kicks in the door and there is a shot. Bosco's face is covered in blood.
Carlos: What the? Sully: Let's go!
Faith: Bosco, you okay? Bosco: (covered in blood) Yeah, that guys dead.
Sully and Davis run into the apartment with their guns drawn.
Sully: Bosco?
Bosco and Faith walk out. Sully and Davis are a little confused as to why Faith is there. Doc and Carlos enter.
Faith: She's alive pointing to the woman in the hallway. The guy in the bathroom's dead. Bosco: Well I guess I don't have to call for a sergeant, I got one here already. Faith: Yeah.
Doc and Carlos put the woman on a backboard. Sully and Davis help carry her to the bus. Sully closes the doors and they pull away.
Sully and Davis return to the apartment where Faith is stretching the crime scene tape. Other units including the coroner are arriving.
Sully: What were you doing here? Faith: Central called Boz. Sydney didn't come in and we hadn't assigned Boz a new Partner yet, so I responded. Sully: A little dangerous call to respond to don't you think? Faith: I used to do this. Sully: That was before you had a new baby.
Jimmy and the guys are cleaning up the rig before the shift ends.
DK: So what are you getting Kim for Christmas? Jimmy: Well, she's been eyeing a necklace in the store, so I thought about that. DK: Jewelry, big man? Jimmy: You think so? DK: Oh yeah. Walsh: Wish my man would buy me jewelry for Christmas.
The guys are all laughing. Kim and Alex enter. They stop laughing..
Alex: Don't stop on the account of us boys.
She and Kim head upstairs to change since their shift is up.
Faith and Bosco head out to his car. Faith looks around for bags and presents.
Bosco: You're not going to find anything. Faith: I wasn't looking for anything. Bosco: Yeah you were. (he smiles)
They head home.
December 15.
Jimmy: Come on Kim, let's go. I want to finish shopping before I have to be at work. Kim: I know, I'm coming.
They head off to go shopping. The first place they hit is the toy store for Joey's gifts. Then they go and grab something to eat. Finally they go pick out gifts for Alex, Davis, Carlos, and Doc.
Faith is putting her coat on as Bosco walks into the living room.
Bosco: Where you heading? Faith: I got something that I need to do. Bosco: Oh. You want me to join you? Faith: Nah. I need you to watch Adrienne until the sitter comes. Bosco: Okay, then I'll see you at work. Faith: Yeah.
She kisses him and then leaves. She goes to the bank to get a cashier's check from the account holding leftover insurance money from Fred's accident and life insurance. She then heads to a car dealership.
Salesman: May I help you? Faith: I need to buy a car. Salesman: What would you like to look at? Faith: How about an SUV? Salesman: Okay.
The salesman leads her toward the SUVs. Faith instantly spots one that she likes. It's a black Explorer. They take it for a test drive. She likes it.
Salesman: What did you think? Faith: I'll take it. Salesman: Let's go fill out the paperwork and you can be on your way.
They draw up the paperwork.
Salesman: How much will you be putting down? Faith: $15,000. Salesman: Okay, let me do the financing.
The salesman walks out of the room. He returns a few minutes later.
Salesman: I need you to sign here and you'll be set to go.
Faith signs the paperwork. The salesman hands her the keys. She goes out and heads off to work.
Bosco pulls into work. He's parked beside the Explorer.
Bosco: That is one sweet looking truck! There is one lucky son of a bitch working at this House!
He enters the locker room.
Bosco: Who is the owner of the brand new black Explorer parked in my space?
No one answers. Faith walks in.
Bosco: Did you see who parked in my space? Faith: No, why? (hiding a smile) Bosco: There's a black Explorer in my space!
Faith can't hold it anymore. She busts out laughing. Bosco: Oh my God. That's your Explorer parked in my space.
She is still laughing so she nods her head.
Bosco: I would have never figured.
Alex and Kim are out driving around in the bus.
Alex: So did you get your shopping all done? Kim: Yeah. Jimmy and I finished it this morning. Alex: That's great. Ty and I finished yesterday. Hard to believe there's only 9 days Left. Kim: Tell me about it. This year has flown by. Alex: So what are you planning on making for our dinner? Kim: I thought that I would make a couple pies. Alex: That's cool. Kim: Yeah, my grandmother taught me how to bake as a kid. Alex: That is really great. I love pumpkin pie. Kim: I'll take that as a hint.
They laugh.
Sully and Davis respond to a call for a mugging of a mall Santa. They arrive to find that a small man had stolen his bag of candy canes. This immediately brought the image of an elf to Davis's head. He had to fight hard to keep from laughing. Sully took the report and they headed back to the car. Davis couldn't help himself anymore and he started laughing.
Sully: What? Davis: Nothing dude. I just keep picturing a guy dressed like and elf with a bag of candy Canes.
Sully begins laughing too.
December 16.
It's Saturday. Faith, Bosco and the kids take the Explorer out to get a Christmas tree. They pick out a fairly large tree. It has wide spread branches.
Bosco: You got enough decorations to cover this thing? Faith: Yeah, if not, we can buy more. Bosco: Okay. Charlie: Can I make some ornaments? Faith: Of course you can. Now let's get this thing home and decorate it before grandma Comes over.
They set up the tree in the apartment. Fred's mother arrives shortly after. It is the first time that she has seen Bosco at the apartment.
Fred's mom: Faith, may I speak to you alone? Faith: Sure.
They walk out into the hallway.
Fred's mom: Don't you think it's a little too soon to be seeing another man? Faith: No. Fred's mom: I don't think that it is appropriate for my grandchildren to wake up with Another man in your bed. Faith: Well get over it. Fred's mom: I will not have it! Faith: It's been 11 months. Don't you think that Fred would want me to be happy again? You think it's easy raising a baby alone? Fred's mom: I don't think it's appropriate. Faith: Well, it's my life. It's not yours. So get over it.
Faith returns to the apartment.
Faith: You guys ready to go? Grandma's waiting. Love you.
The kids leave. Faith closes the door.
Faith: The nerve of that woman! Bosco: What did she say? Faith: She said that she didn't want her grandchildren waking up to another man in my Bed. Bosco: What does she expect you to do? Go around for the rest of your life in mourning? Faith: I don't know. It's been 11 months. Fred would want me to be happy. Bosco: Are you happy? Faith: I am very happy with you Bosco. I don't know how I would have made it through These last few months. I don't think that I could have done it. Thank you. Bosco: You're welcome. You want to go get something to eat. Maybe Mallucci's? Faith: That'd be nice.
They pack up Adrienne and head out.
Ty and Alex are wrapping Christmas presents in their apartment. They have paper and ribbon everywhere.
Alex: Um. Ty? Davis: What? Alex: Do you even know how to wrap a present? Davis: Yeah. Why? Alex: I don't think that the paper is supposed to be all wrinkled like that. (she laughs) Davis: Oh really? Alex: Yeah really. Davis: Well how about this? You wrap, I label. Alex: That sounds like a great idea.
They continue to tease each other.
Jimmy and Kim are sitting in his apartment with a cup of hot chocolate, watching a movie. They are enjoying the evening together. The presents are all wrapped and under the tree.
Kim: This is nice. Jimmy: I know.
They snuggle up together and continue watching the movie.
Bosco and Faith return to the apartment.
Faith: I had a really great time tonight Boz. Bosco: Good. You needed it. Faith: What are we going to do with the apartment to ourselves? Bosco: I dunno. What did you have in mind?
She grabs him by the shirt and they head to the bedroom.
Carlos is on the phone with the Kinney's.
Carlos: One of my friends has invited all of us over on Christmas Eve and I was Wondering if I could take Kylie with me. And then bring her back before Mass. Mrs. Kinney: That would be wonderful. We wouldn't have a problem with that at All. After all you are her father. Carlos: Thank you so much. Mrs. Kinney: So what time do you want to come get her? Carlos: Does 4:30 sound okay to you? Mrs. Kinney: That's fine. Carlos: Great. I'll see you then. Thanks again. Bye bye.
He was really excited about this. He couldn't wait. It felt like he was the part of a real family for the first time in his life.
Bosco and Faith are both sound asleep. Faith is dreaming.
Fred: Hey baby. How are you? Faith: Fred. I didn't expect to see you. Fred: I know. I wanted see you. Faith: Why? Fred: I wanted to make sure that you were happy. I don't want you to be lonely. Faith: I'm not lonely. I miss you though. Fred: I want you to be happy. Faith: I am. Fred: Be happy with Bosco. I love you. Faith: I love you too.
The dream ended. Faith sat straight up in the bed. Bosco sits up.
Bosco: You okay? Faith: Yeah. I'm fine. Bosco: You want me to get you a glass of water? Faith: No, I'll go get one myself.
She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. She was thinking about what Fred had told her.
December 17.
Bosco awoke and found that he was alone in the bed. He got up and walked out to the kitchen. There was Faith sound asleep in a chair. There were used tissues on the table in front of her. He now knew what her dream was about. He walked back into the bedroom were Adrienne was just waking up.
Bosco: Shhhhh.. Mommy's sleeping. We don't want to wake her up now do we?
Bosco carried her into the bathroom and changed her dirty diaper. He then went to the kitchen and got her a bottle. He sat down on the couch. Faith woke up.
Faith: I'm sorry Boz. Bosco: For what? Faith: I had a weird dream last night. I didn't want to wake you. Bosco: It's okay. You could have come back to bed though.
Faith sat beside him on the couch.
Faith: Fred came to me in my dream. Bosco: And? Faith: He told me that he wanted me to be happy. Bosco: Okay. Faith: He told me to be happy with you. Bosco: Are you happy with me? Faith: Yeah. Bosco: Well then. Faith: Here, give her to me. Bosco: Mommy wants you. Better give you up.
He hands Adrienne over to Faith. Then he heads to the bathroom to take a shower.
Sully wakes up and fixes himself some breakfast. He looks in the refrigerator.
Sully: Aw. Damn it!
His refrigerator needed a lot of help. He hadn't gone grocery shopping for the week. He was out of eggs and milk. He got dressed and headed into the store.
Carlos was asleep on his couch. His stereo was playing in the background. He woke up and walked into his kitchen. All he had were some Pop Tarts. He decided that he had better go shopping a little later. He grabbed a Pop Tart and went back to the couch. He fell asleep again in no time.
Doc was busy cleaning up his apartment. He had let it get way too messy over the last couple weeks. He turned on the news and continued cleaning.
Bosco got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom to change. Faith was in there in the bed. He knew what she wanted and so he climbed in beside her.
Faith: How about I make you breakfast in bed for being such a great guy? Bosco: That sounds like a good idea.
They kiss. Faith gets up and heads to the kitchen to make breakfast. Bosco does some thinking. She returns with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice. She feeds it to him like he's a baby. He enjoys it.
Alex and Ty are busy cleaning up the apartment so that they don't have as much to do throughout the week.
Alex: Hard to believe it's only 7 days until Christmas. Davis: Yep. Alex: You ready? Davis: It's going to be fun spending our first Christmas together. Alex: Yeah it is. Davis: Uh oh. Alex: What? Davis: You're standing under the mistletoe. Alex: Oh.
Davis grabs her and they kiss
It's now 6 PM. Faith and Bosco are in the living room watching a movie. Emily and Charlie walk in the door.
Faith: Hey guys. How was your weekend? Charlie: It was great. Faith: Good. Charlie: Hey Bosco, can you take us skating at Rockefeller Center? Bosco: I could maybe do that. What do you think Faith? Faith: I think it's a great idea. Let's go tonight. Emily: Wow. We're really going to go? Faith: Yeah, get your stuff.
They head out to go skating.
Faith: Have you ever skated before? Bosco: No. Faith: You don't know how much fun you're missing.
Faith hands Adrienne to Bosco and heads out onto the ice with Charlie and Emily. A few laps into it Emily comes over and exits the ice.
Emily: Are you going to propose to mom? Bosco: Would you like me to? Emily: She's happier when you're around. Bosco: Really? Emily: Yeah. Bosco: How do you like me being around? Emily: It takes a little bit to get used to you, but I love having you around.
Faith skates over.
Faith: Emily, can you take Adrienne so that I can teach Bosco to skate? Emily: Sure.
Faith takes Bosco by the hand and leads him onto the ice. Bosco is wobbly. Faith pulls him around the rink. He finally gets the nerve to try it on his own. He falls on the ice. Faith, Charlie, and Emily all laugh.
Bosco: This isn't funny. Faith: Yeah it is. Bosco: No, it's not Faith: You're right. It's not.
Faith skates away. Bosco has to get the nerve to skate after her. He finally catches her. They skate around a little more. Charlie joins Emily.
Charlie: So are they going to get married? Emily: I hope so. Charlie: Me too. I really miss having dad around. Emily: I know. I do too.
Faith and Bosco come back over.
Faith: Well guys, it's 9. We should get home. You have school tomorrow. Emily: Thanks for bringing us. Bosco: Don't mention it. I had a great time. Charlie: Me too.
They head home.

Bosco: When the hell is Sydney coming back? Faith: She's not. I just got the paperwork today. She's transferring to Port Authority Bosco: So what am I going to do for a partner? Faith: You've gut Gusler until we find a replacement. Bosco: Great. The guy has the personality of a flea. Faith: He's not that bad. Bosco: Yeah he is.
Central: 55 David Central. Armed robbery in progress. Big Apple Liquors W.113th. Bosco: W. 113th. (ends radio call) Gusler, let's go! By the time Bosco and Gusler arrive the robber has taken off.

And so another uneventful shift ends. The squads head home.
December 19.
(Carol of the Bells plays)
Bosco is in the RMP chasing down an armed robbery suspect. It's snowing. Sully and Davis join in the pursuit. The fire squad is out attempting to put out an apartment fire. The suspect hits a patch of ice and slides into a fire hydrant. Bosco's RMP hits the same patch of ice and ends up in a storefront. Kim and Taylor respond and take Bosco and Gusler to Mercy.
Faith runs into the ER. She spots Bosco. He's laying in a bed. She runs into him.
Faith: Oh my God! Bosco. Kim: He'll be okay. Faith: Bosco talk to me. Bosco: Hey. Faith: Bosco, you scared the hell out of me. Bosco: That was a scary ride.

Everyone slowly finishes opening gifts. They are helping to clean up. Faith goes to the bathroom. When she comes out, she is greeted by Bosco.
Bosco: I need to ask you something really important. Faith: Now? Bosco: Yes, now. Faith: Okay.
Bosco pulls something out of his pant pocket. He gets down on his knee.
Bosco: Faith. Will you marry me?
Faith is crying. She puts her hands to her face.

Sully: To celebrate, let's sing a Christmas carol.
They sing "O Come All Ye Faithful" In the Church. The gang sits together. The mass is ending. (Silent Night plays)
Priest: Merry Christmas!
They get outside the church. Kim looks at Jimmy.
Kim: I'm pregnant. Jimmy: What? Kim: We're having another child. Jimmy: That's great!
Everyone celebrates again. Together on the steps of the church: Merry Christmas to All. And to all a good night! (They break out in We Wish You a Merry Christmas)
December 12th.
(Song 12 days of Christmas)
Faith: When are you going Christmas shopping? Bosco: When are you putting up the tree? Faith: I guess this weekend. Bosco: May I remind you that it's December 12? Faith: I know. You still haven't answered my question. Bosco: I'm done (he smiles) Faith: You don't lie well! Bosco: I know. I was going this weekend. Faith: Okay, well I'll send the kids to Fred's mom's. We can go together to get the tree And shop for the kids. Bosco: What about my present? Faith: You don't get to see that until Christmas. Bosco: Oh.
It bothered Bosco that she had already bought his gifts. Either that or she was a hell of a lot better liar than he was.
Kim and Jimmy were busy putting up the Christmas tree. Joey had made some ornaments in art class that they were putting on the tree.
Jimmy: I thought that we could drop Joey off at your mom's and then go do the Shopping. Maybe have Christmas dinner here this year. Kim: That's a great idea. Jimmy: You really think so? Kim: Yeah. Jimmy: Good, you get to cook the turkey. Kim: You really think so? I'll cook a turkey.
They get to fooling around. Joey isn't home, so they feel a little more relaxed.
Carlos is out shopping for Kylie's Christmas present. He goes into a toy store and picks out a couple dolls and some Barbie stuff. He had talked to the Kinney's to see what they were getting for her. They gave him some suggestions. He paid for his purchase and headed out.
Alex and Davis were getting their apartment ready for Christmas.
Alex: Hey, why don't we have everyone over on Christmas Eve and then go to Midnight Mass together? Davis: Sounds like a good idea to me. We better check with everyone. Alex: I'll talk to the guys at work tonight. Davis: I'll check on Sully, and Boz and Faith. Alex: I hope we do this, it'll be fun.
Their tree is up. They were working on putting lights up around the apartment.
Alex: Ummm. Ty? Davis: Yeah? Alex: Look what time it is. Davis: Oh man. We're gonna be late. Alex: Let's go.

We'll make the turkey and everyone else can Bring something else. Carlos: Sure, I'll be there. Doc: Me too.
Everyone is set to be there. The shift ends and everyone heads out.
December 13th.
Bosco: I'll meet you at the house. I'm going to go buy your Christmas presents.
He kisses her and then heads out. He thinks to himself in the car. "What am I going to get her?" He decides on some ideas. He goes into Macy's. He picks out what he wants, pays for them and then has them wrapped. He's proud of himself. He puts the packages in the trunk of his car and heads into work.
Sully too was out Christmas shopping. He bought some stuff for his sister's kids. He also bought presents for Charlie, Emily, and Adrienne. He then picks out something for Alex, Davis, Bosco, and Faith. They were his true family. He puts the presents on the table in his apartment and then gets ready for work.
Alex and Ty are also out shopping.
Davis: What do you want to get Jimmy and Kim? Alex: I don't know. Davis: You better decide something soon. We do have to be at work in an hour. Alex: How about a DVD player? Davis: That's fine with me. Alex: Joey? Davis: Buy him a Playstation game or something. Alex: How about this one? (she's holding an off road racing game) Davis: Fine. Let's get going.
They pay for their stuff and head off to work.
Kim is waiting on Alex when she gets there.
Kim: Hey. Alex: Hey. What's up? Kim: Jimmy and I were wondering what to buy Ty for Christmas. Alex: The man really doesn't want much. Kim: Oh. Any ideas? Alex: You could buy him some DVDs or maybe a couple video games for his Playstation 2. Kim: Okay. I'll come up with something.
Alarm: Squad 55, Ladder 100, Adam 55-3, Boyd 55-3. Heavy smoke and fire 1257 E. 105th.

Bosco walks into the locker room. Faith and Sully are talking. Sully and Davis head out on patrol.
Faith: Get your shopping done? Bosco: Yeah. Faith: Where'd you go? Bosco: I can't tell you that. Faith: Oh come on Boz. Bosco: (smirks) Nope, can't tell. Central: 55 David Central. Possible shots fired 2252 Amsterdam. Bosco: 2252 Amsterdam. (to Faith) Shit! Where's Sydney. Faith: She just called in, can't make it. Bosco: Shit! Faith: Let's go!
They jump in the car. Bosco speeds off towards the call. They arrive to hear a woman screaming. They head up the stairs with their guns drawn. They reach the apartment, but the screams have stopped. They take positions on each side of the doorway. Faith knocks. Faith: Police! Open up.
No response. Again Faith knocks.
Faith: Open the door!
She looks at Bosco. There is no response. Bosco nods and kicks in the door. They rush in. They search the apartment room by room. They find the woman who was screaming, she has been shot in the head. Faith checks her pulse. She's still alive.
Bosco: 55 David to Central. We need a bus on a rush to this location.
Sully and Davis arrive at the scene. Shortly after Doc and Carlos arrive.
Doc: Is it safe to go in yet? Sully: Bosco's still searching the apartment. Follow us.
They continue to search the apartment. They get to a room with a closed door. They take positions on each side. Bosco kicks in the door and there is a shot. Bosco's face is covered in blood.
Carlos: What the? Sully: Let's go!
Faith: Bosco, you okay? Bosco: (covered in blood) Yeah, that guys dead.
Sully and Davis run into the apartment with their guns drawn.
Sully: Bosco?
Bosco and Faith walk out. Sully and Davis are a little confused as to why Faith is there. Doc and Carlos enter.
Faith: She's alive pointing to the woman in the hallway. The guy in the bathroom's dead. Bosco: Well I guess I don't have to call for a sergeant, I got one here already. Faith: Yeah.
Doc and Carlos put the woman on a backboard. Sully and Davis help carry her to the bus. Sully closes the doors and they pull away.
Sully and Davis return to the apartment where Faith is stretching the crime scene tape. Other units including the coroner are arriving.
Sully: What were you doing here? Faith: Central called Boz. Sydney didn't come in and we hadn't assigned Boz a new Partner yet, so I responded. Sully: A little dangerous call to respond to don't you think? Faith: I used to do this. Sully: That was before you had a new baby.
Jimmy and the guys are cleaning up the rig before the shift ends.
DK: So what are you getting Kim for Christmas? Jimmy: Well, she's been eyeing a necklace in the store, so I thought about that. DK: Jewelry, big man? Jimmy: You think so? DK: Oh yeah. Walsh: Wish my man would buy me jewelry for Christmas.
The guys are all laughing. Kim and Alex enter. They stop laughing..
Alex: Don't stop on the account of us boys.
She and Kim head upstairs to change since their shift is up.
Faith and Bosco head out to his car. Faith looks around for bags and presents.
Bosco: You're not going to find anything. Faith: I wasn't looking for anything. Bosco: Yeah you were. (he smiles)
They head home.
December 15.
Jimmy: Come on Kim, let's go. I want to finish shopping before I have to be at work. Kim: I know, I'm coming.
They head off to go shopping. The first place they hit is the toy store for Joey's gifts. Then they go and grab something to eat. Finally they go pick out gifts for Alex, Davis, Carlos, and Doc.
Faith is putting her coat on as Bosco walks into the living room.
Bosco: Where you heading? Faith: I got something that I need to do. Bosco: Oh. You want me to join you? Faith: Nah. I need you to watch Adrienne until the sitter comes. Bosco: Okay, then I'll see you at work. Faith: Yeah.
She kisses him and then leaves. She goes to the bank to get a cashier's check from the account holding leftover insurance money from Fred's accident and life insurance. She then heads to a car dealership.
Salesman: May I help you? Faith: I need to buy a car. Salesman: What would you like to look at? Faith: How about an SUV? Salesman: Okay.
The salesman leads her toward the SUVs. Faith instantly spots one that she likes. It's a black Explorer. They take it for a test drive. She likes it.
Salesman: What did you think? Faith: I'll take it. Salesman: Let's go fill out the paperwork and you can be on your way.
They draw up the paperwork.
Salesman: How much will you be putting down? Faith: $15,000. Salesman: Okay, let me do the financing.
The salesman walks out of the room. He returns a few minutes later.
Salesman: I need you to sign here and you'll be set to go.
Faith signs the paperwork. The salesman hands her the keys. She goes out and heads off to work.
Bosco pulls into work. He's parked beside the Explorer.
Bosco: That is one sweet looking truck! There is one lucky son of a bitch working at this House!
He enters the locker room.
Bosco: Who is the owner of the brand new black Explorer parked in my space?
No one answers. Faith walks in.
Bosco: Did you see who parked in my space? Faith: No, why? (hiding a smile) Bosco: There's a black Explorer in my space!
Faith can't hold it anymore. She busts out laughing. Bosco: Oh my God. That's your Explorer parked in my space.
She is still laughing so she nods her head.
Bosco: I would have never figured.
Alex and Kim are out driving around in the bus.
Alex: So did you get your shopping all done? Kim: Yeah. Jimmy and I finished it this morning. Alex: That's great. Ty and I finished yesterday. Hard to believe there's only 9 days Left. Kim: Tell me about it. This year has flown by. Alex: So what are you planning on making for our dinner? Kim: I thought that I would make a couple pies. Alex: That's cool. Kim: Yeah, my grandmother taught me how to bake as a kid. Alex: That is really great. I love pumpkin pie. Kim: I'll take that as a hint.
They laugh.
Sully and Davis respond to a call for a mugging of a mall Santa. They arrive to find that a small man had stolen his bag of candy canes. This immediately brought the image of an elf to Davis's head. He had to fight hard to keep from laughing. Sully took the report and they headed back to the car. Davis couldn't help himself anymore and he started laughing.
Sully: What? Davis: Nothing dude. I just keep picturing a guy dressed like and elf with a bag of candy Canes.
Sully begins laughing too.
December 16.
It's Saturday. Faith, Bosco and the kids take the Explorer out to get a Christmas tree. They pick out a fairly large tree. It has wide spread branches.
Bosco: You got enough decorations to cover this thing? Faith: Yeah, if not, we can buy more. Bosco: Okay. Charlie: Can I make some ornaments? Faith: Of course you can. Now let's get this thing home and decorate it before grandma Comes over.
They set up the tree in the apartment. Fred's mother arrives shortly after. It is the first time that she has seen Bosco at the apartment.
Fred's mom: Faith, may I speak to you alone? Faith: Sure.
They walk out into the hallway.
Fred's mom: Don't you think it's a little too soon to be seeing another man? Faith: No. Fred's mom: I don't think that it is appropriate for my grandchildren to wake up with Another man in your bed. Faith: Well get over it. Fred's mom: I will not have it! Faith: It's been 11 months. Don't you think that Fred would want me to be happy again? You think it's easy raising a baby alone? Fred's mom: I don't think it's appropriate. Faith: Well, it's my life. It's not yours. So get over it.
Faith returns to the apartment.
Faith: You guys ready to go? Grandma's waiting. Love you.
The kids leave. Faith closes the door.
Faith: The nerve of that woman! Bosco: What did she say? Faith: She said that she didn't want her grandchildren waking up to another man in my Bed. Bosco: What does she expect you to do? Go around for the rest of your life in mourning? Faith: I don't know. It's been 11 months. Fred would want me to be happy. Bosco: Are you happy? Faith: I am very happy with you Bosco. I don't know how I would have made it through These last few months. I don't think that I could have done it. Thank you. Bosco: You're welcome. You want to go get something to eat. Maybe Mallucci's? Faith: That'd be nice.
They pack up Adrienne and head out.
Ty and Alex are wrapping Christmas presents in their apartment. They have paper and ribbon everywhere.
Alex: Um. Ty? Davis: What? Alex: Do you even know how to wrap a present? Davis: Yeah. Why? Alex: I don't think that the paper is supposed to be all wrinkled like that. (she laughs) Davis: Oh really? Alex: Yeah really. Davis: Well how about this? You wrap, I label. Alex: That sounds like a great idea.
They continue to tease each other.
Jimmy and Kim are sitting in his apartment with a cup of hot chocolate, watching a movie. They are enjoying the evening together. The presents are all wrapped and under the tree.
Kim: This is nice. Jimmy: I know.
They snuggle up together and continue watching the movie.
Bosco and Faith return to the apartment.
Faith: I had a really great time tonight Boz. Bosco: Good. You needed it. Faith: What are we going to do with the apartment to ourselves? Bosco: I dunno. What did you have in mind?
She grabs him by the shirt and they head to the bedroom.
Carlos is on the phone with the Kinney's.
Carlos: One of my friends has invited all of us over on Christmas Eve and I was Wondering if I could take Kylie with me. And then bring her back before Mass. Mrs. Kinney: That would be wonderful. We wouldn't have a problem with that at All. After all you are her father. Carlos: Thank you so much. Mrs. Kinney: So what time do you want to come get her? Carlos: Does 4:30 sound okay to you? Mrs. Kinney: That's fine. Carlos: Great. I'll see you then. Thanks again. Bye bye.
He was really excited about this. He couldn't wait. It felt like he was the part of a real family for the first time in his life.
Bosco and Faith are both sound asleep. Faith is dreaming.
Fred: Hey baby. How are you? Faith: Fred. I didn't expect to see you. Fred: I know. I wanted see you. Faith: Why? Fred: I wanted to make sure that you were happy. I don't want you to be lonely. Faith: I'm not lonely. I miss you though. Fred: I want you to be happy. Faith: I am. Fred: Be happy with Bosco. I love you. Faith: I love you too.
The dream ended. Faith sat straight up in the bed. Bosco sits up.
Bosco: You okay? Faith: Yeah. I'm fine. Bosco: You want me to get you a glass of water? Faith: No, I'll go get one myself.
She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. She was thinking about what Fred had told her.
December 17.
Bosco awoke and found that he was alone in the bed. He got up and walked out to the kitchen. There was Faith sound asleep in a chair. There were used tissues on the table in front of her. He now knew what her dream was about. He walked back into the bedroom were Adrienne was just waking up.
Bosco: Shhhhh.. Mommy's sleeping. We don't want to wake her up now do we?
Bosco carried her into the bathroom and changed her dirty diaper. He then went to the kitchen and got her a bottle. He sat down on the couch. Faith woke up.
Faith: I'm sorry Boz. Bosco: For what? Faith: I had a weird dream last night. I didn't want to wake you. Bosco: It's okay. You could have come back to bed though.
Faith sat beside him on the couch.
Faith: Fred came to me in my dream. Bosco: And? Faith: He told me that he wanted me to be happy. Bosco: Okay. Faith: He told me to be happy with you. Bosco: Are you happy with me? Faith: Yeah. Bosco: Well then. Faith: Here, give her to me. Bosco: Mommy wants you. Better give you up.
He hands Adrienne over to Faith. Then he heads to the bathroom to take a shower.
Sully wakes up and fixes himself some breakfast. He looks in the refrigerator.
Sully: Aw. Damn it!
His refrigerator needed a lot of help. He hadn't gone grocery shopping for the week. He was out of eggs and milk. He got dressed and headed into the store.
Carlos was asleep on his couch. His stereo was playing in the background. He woke up and walked into his kitchen. All he had were some Pop Tarts. He decided that he had better go shopping a little later. He grabbed a Pop Tart and went back to the couch. He fell asleep again in no time.
Doc was busy cleaning up his apartment. He had let it get way too messy over the last couple weeks. He turned on the news and continued cleaning.
Bosco got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom to change. Faith was in there in the bed. He knew what she wanted and so he climbed in beside her.
Faith: How about I make you breakfast in bed for being such a great guy? Bosco: That sounds like a good idea.
They kiss. Faith gets up and heads to the kitchen to make breakfast. Bosco does some thinking. She returns with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice. She feeds it to him like he's a baby. He enjoys it.
Alex and Ty are busy cleaning up the apartment so that they don't have as much to do throughout the week.
Alex: Hard to believe it's only 7 days until Christmas. Davis: Yep. Alex: You ready? Davis: It's going to be fun spending our first Christmas together. Alex: Yeah it is. Davis: Uh oh. Alex: What? Davis: You're standing under the mistletoe. Alex: Oh.
Davis grabs her and they kiss
It's now 6 PM. Faith and Bosco are in the living room watching a movie. Emily and Charlie walk in the door.
Faith: Hey guys. How was your weekend? Charlie: It was great. Faith: Good. Charlie: Hey Bosco, can you take us skating at Rockefeller Center? Bosco: I could maybe do that. What do you think Faith? Faith: I think it's a great idea. Let's go tonight. Emily: Wow. We're really going to go? Faith: Yeah, get your stuff.
They head out to go skating.
Faith: Have you ever skated before? Bosco: No. Faith: You don't know how much fun you're missing.
Faith hands Adrienne to Bosco and heads out onto the ice with Charlie and Emily. A few laps into it Emily comes over and exits the ice.
Emily: Are you going to propose to mom? Bosco: Would you like me to? Emily: She's happier when you're around. Bosco: Really? Emily: Yeah. Bosco: How do you like me being around? Emily: It takes a little bit to get used to you, but I love having you around.
Faith skates over.
Faith: Emily, can you take Adrienne so that I can teach Bosco to skate? Emily: Sure.
Faith takes Bosco by the hand and leads him onto the ice. Bosco is wobbly. Faith pulls him around the rink. He finally gets the nerve to try it on his own. He falls on the ice. Faith, Charlie, and Emily all laugh.
Bosco: This isn't funny. Faith: Yeah it is. Bosco: No, it's not Faith: You're right. It's not.
Faith skates away. Bosco has to get the nerve to skate after her. He finally catches her. They skate around a little more. Charlie joins Emily.
Charlie: So are they going to get married? Emily: I hope so. Charlie: Me too. I really miss having dad around. Emily: I know. I do too.
Faith and Bosco come back over.
Faith: Well guys, it's 9. We should get home. You have school tomorrow. Emily: Thanks for bringing us. Bosco: Don't mention it. I had a great time. Charlie: Me too.

And so another uneventful shift ends. The squads head home.
December 19.

Faith is crying. She puts her hands to her face.
Faith: Yes. Yes.
Bosco stands up and puts the ring on her finger. They are hugging. They walk back to the living room, but stop under the mistle toe to share a kiss. Tears are still running down her face. Sully notices something different. He walks over to them. He sees the ring on Faith's finger.
Sully: Congratulations! You two really deserve one another. Bosco: Thanks Sully. Faith: Thank you. Bosco: Everyone, I have an announcement to make.
Everyone gathers.
Bosco: I have asked Faith to marry me. And she said yes!
Everyone is happy. Kim and Alex are crying tears of joy. Charlie and Emily run over to hug Bosco and Faith.
Sully: To celebrate, let's sing a Christmas carol.
They sing "O Come All Ye Faithful" In the Church. The gang sits together. The mass is ending. (Silent Night plays)
Priest: Merry Christmas!
They get outside the church. Kim looks at Jimmy.
Kim: I'm pregnant. Jimmy: What? Kim: We're having another child. Jimmy: That's great!
Everyone celebrates again. Together on the steps of the church: Merry Christmas to All. And to all a good night! (They break out in We Wish You a Merry Christmas)
