May 1st, 2002
Tonight was the New York City Worker ball. All Police, firefighters, paramedics, and other city workers will be there. This year's ball was the most important yet. After September 11th, these workers deserved to be there and recognized. This was also important to Bosco for another reason, it would be his first pubic appearance with Faith on his arm without her being his partner.
Bosco stood in the bathroom trying to tie his tie. A tux. He was actually wearing a tux. In his bedroom, Faith was getting dressed in the black gown she bought. He couldn't wait to see her in it. Finally, he got the bow tie straight. He put some gel in his hands and ran them through his hair. He winked at himself in the mirror
"Dressed to kill." He smiled walking out, "Faith, are you almost ready."
"Ah…yeah. I feel like an idiot." She said.
"Come on. I want to see you."
"Okay." She muttered walking out. Bosco's heart stopped looking at her. Her blond hair was twisted up into a French twist. A few curls fell down framing her face. Around her neck was a small diamond necklace. The sparkling black fabric clung to her body, exposing the gorgeous curves her uniform hid. Her plunging neckline didn't leave anything to the imagination. Her blue eyes looked at him. "What do you think?"
"Pretty, beautiful and gorgeous aren't good enough words." He mumbled, "You look…. Wow." Faith blushed.
"Well, you don't look half bad in a tux yourself." She smiled. Bosco couldn't take his eyes off her. She smacked his shoulder. "Stop looking at me like that."
"I'm sorry." He smiled, "Have a shawl or something? It's a little cold tonight. Don't want your high beams binging on the way." Faith chuckled shaking her head.
"I have a shawl." Faith said going into the living room, "This dress is too long."
"It's perfect." He said. "Let's go and get this ball underway."

Excitement was high as everyone walked into the ballroom. Faith had never seen anything so beautiful. The whole room seemed to be made out of crystal. Everyone was dressed as if they were Cinderella. Faith squeezed Bosco's hand. She had never been to one of these.
"Want a drink?" He asked. Faith nodded.
"Thank you." She smiled as Bosco walked to the bar. Faith grinned when she saw Alex, "Taylor, you're looking good." Alex rolled her eyes.
"I feel like an idiot in this thing." Alex fluffed up her red dress. Faith nodded.
"So do I." She chuckled, "Who you here with?" Alex blushed slightly.
"Ty." She said.
"Oh really?" Faith grinned. Maybe Bosco and I aren't too weird. "I'm here with Bosco."
"He didn't bring one of his many women?" Alex giggled.
"I'm his only woman lately."
"Oh…OH!" Alex looked at Faith, "I didn't know you two were…. you know."
"Well, it just sort of happened." She shrugged.
"Same with Ty and I." Alex chuckled as Bosco brought Faith a drink, "Well, I should go. See you around." Alex rushed off. Bosco checked her out.
"I never thought she'd look that good in a dress." He said.
"Hey." Faith giggled taking her drink; "She's okay looking."
"Not as hot as you of course." Faith chuckled taking a seat next to Bosco.
"You dance?" She asked. Bosco burst out laughing.
"A Boscorelli dancing? Not a chance in hell." He winked, "But I could be talked into it if a hottie asked me." Faith looked around.
"I might be able to find Alex again." She smiled. Bosco rolled his eyes.
"Come on Yokas." He smiled as he got up. Faith followed him, taking his hand. This was their first dance together. The violins made Faith's body sway against Bosco's as he took hold of her. Her blue eyes sparkled at him. This was amazing, being in his arms in public as couple. Bosco reached up and pushed one of her blond curls away from her face. He kissed her forehead softly. She smiled at him.
"Bosco…I um," This was so hard for her to say. She didn't want to ruin anything. Bosco looked at her expectantly, "I…I think….I love you." Bosco's heart pounded. He had waited a long time for her to say those words. It scared him, yet excited him at the same time. She finally agreed with him. He knew it was hard for her since her divorce wasn't final yet.
"I love you too." He whispered. Bosco leaned down ad kissed her lips so tenderly it caused Faith to moan. Bosco chuckled softly pulling his lips away from her. "Let's go sit down." He winked.
For the next few hours, Bosco and faith enjoyed themselves immensely. The food and drinks were divine. The expensive wine was the best Faith had ever tasted. The chicken dinner was also amazing. The speeches about the year from Mayor Bloomquest and random police chiefs brought tears to many peoples eyes. The awards to heroic officers and other service workers were a big moment of the night.
Many people were surprised that Bosco and Faith were a couple, but they all claimed that they knew it would happen eventually. There was just too much chemistry there to ignore. They also were the butt of many jokes, but that was to be expected.
But of course, all good things must come to an end. The evening closed out with one more dance. Faith was exhausted and her heels were killing her. She was looking forward to curling up in bed with Bosco. Bosco helped her out of the car.
"That was so amazing." Faith giggled, "Everyone looked beautiful."
"Yeah. Next year will be even better." She said walking inside. A man stood by the apartment door. Bosco frowned slightly.
"May I help you?" He asked. The man looked at Faith.
"Are you Officer Yokas?" He asked. Faith pulled her shawl around her shoulders.
"Um, yes." She said, "What can I do you for." The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a large envelope.
"Consider yourself served." He said. Faith's jaw dropped snatching the envelope.
"At fucking one am??" She growled as the man walked away. She tore open the envelope. Bosco bit his lip.
"What's going on?" Faith stared at the paper.
"Oh my god." She whispered.
"What?" He said. It had to be about the divorce. Faith looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Fred…He's suing me for full custody." She said.
"What?" Faith's lip trembled.
"H-He can't take th-them away from me forever." She whispered.
"Oh faith." He wrapped his arms around her; "I won't let that happen. We'll see your lawyer in the morning and we'll get this sorted out. You'll get your children."
"I c-can't loose them." She started to cry. Bosco held her tightly. The perfect night came crashing around them.
