So, Faith was pregnant. It was finally sinking in. They were going to have a baby together. Faith and Bosco didn't tell Emily and Charlie yet, just in case something happened to the baby. They were going to wait until at least week twelve until they told the kids. Faith and Bosco were thrilled to say the least.
Faith was terribly sick though. She couldn't keep a single thing down. Even with water she had some trouble. She had to call into work several times. Work was another thing that they needed to discuss. Faith knew she would be put on desk duty once she told everyone she was pregnant. She would be filing, doing reports, and finishing old paperwork. The most boring part of her job, but she wanted this baby to be safe. This was her second chance.
"Bosco!" The green-face Faith groaned from the bed.
"What?" He frowned walking in and looked at her.
"Can I have some ice?" She asked looking at him, "I'm thirsty."
"Yeah." Bosco mumbled and went to the kitchen where Emily and Charlie were eating lunch.
"Is Momma still sick?" Emily asked. Bosco nodded filling a cup up with ice.
"Yeah. She'll be fine though. Just a bug or something." He said lying through his teeth.
"Oh okay." She said, "Well, is she going to drop me off at girl scouts?"
"That's tonight?" Bosco asked. Emily nodded. "I'll drop you off." He said, "Wash your dishes when you're done." He walked upstairs and into the bedroom. "Here you go sweetie." He handed her the cup of ice.
"Thanks." Faith smiled as she started to eat the ice, "I think we're going to have a boy." Bosco grinned sitting on the bedside.
"Why do you say that?" He asked.
"Because I'm as sick as a dog." She said, "I was this way with Charlie too."
"Well a boy would be great." Bosco smiled, "A little me."
"This world is absolutely doomed." She chuckled.
"Hey." Bosco leaned over and kissed her. "Emily is having a birthday in two days."
"I know that." She chuckled, "She's turning twelve."
"That's a hard age for a girl." Bosco said, "Boys are going to start pounding on the door."
"Oh they better not." Faith chuckled, "We're cops. We have guns. They won't come knocking."
"You're evil. You know that?" Bosco smiled. Faith smiled.
"I've been called worse."
"I know." He winked as he got up, "I need to drop Emily off at Girl Scouts. I'll be back in twenty minutes if you need anything."
"I'll be fine for twenty minutes." She chuckled. "Go."

Emily stared out the window as Bosco drove her to the center.
"Can you walk Noelle when you get home?" Emily asked.
"It isn't my dog." Bosco pointed out "You promised you'd take care of her if we got her."
"I know." Emily said.
"We're going to need your help more than even soon, Em." He said. "You're a young lady and you'll have a lot more responsibilities."
"Mom's pregnant isn't she?" Emily asked.
"Wh-What would make you think that?" Bosco asked.
"I'm not a child." Emily pointed out; "I know things. I hear things. Is she?"
"I ah…You'll need to ask your mother." He said. Emily rolled her eyes.
"Fine. Whatever." Bosco sighed deeply. He couldn't tell Emily. He promised Faith.

Week 10
Faith jumped out of the cr. Her nausea was a lot better today. She turned and looked at Bosco who was slowly getting out of the car. Faith burst out laughing.
"You're so scared aren't you?" She laughed. Bosco looked at her husband.
"The doctor is going to stick his hand up you…that's my job." He said. Faith laughed taking his hand.
"It's his job too. He needs to make sure everything is all right." She said, "And then we get to see the baby." Bosco smiled.
"Now that's what I want to see." Bosco said, "not some mans hand up my wife's cooch." Faith shook her head trying to hold back laughter. He was such a rookie.
"Hi. Faith Boscorelli. I have a two O'clock with Dr. White." She smiled.
"All right." The secretary said, "You may go right in."
"Thank you." Faith smiled, "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be." He sighed as they walked in. A middle aged doctor stood up and extended his hand.
"Faith, it's been awhile." He smiled, "New husband?"
"New husband. Bosco." He said shaking his hand, "Strong grip." Faith rolled her eyes as Dr. White led them to a couple of seats.
"Now, let's talk and find out your due date." Dr. White said. Faith nodded and spouted off her last menstrual cycle and date of conception. She squeezed Bosco's hand He smiled weakly. Bosco was so nervous. This was his first child. It was okay to be nervous. "All right, Faith. Your expected due date is September 28th, 2003."
"September 28th. That's great." Faith smiled looking at Bosco, "What do you think?"
"Close to Charlie's birthday, but its perfect." He smiled.
"Even though I'll be pregnant through the heat of the summer." Faith said.
"You'll be fine." Dr White smiled, "Now why don't you get undressed and get this gown on so we can get the examination over with. Your husband may stay here or he can leave."
"I'll stay." Bosco smiled. Faith stepped behind the curtain and started to get undressed. She couldn't believe she was here again. It was still sinking in that she was pregnant. When she sees the baby, maybe it'd sink in faster. She tied the gown on and got up onto the table.
"All right." Faith said putting her legs in the stirrups. Bosco's heart was pounding.
"That's how we got in this position." He chuckled taking her hand.
"Hardy har har." Faith said watching Dr white snap some gloves on.
"Okay, you know the routine." He said.
"Grin and bear it." Faith smiled squeezing Bosco's hand as Dr. White started to examine her. She winced slightly.
"Take it, not as good as me." Bosco said. Faith shook her head.
"No." She whispered.
"Everything looks wonderful." Dr. White smiled.
"Gee thanks." Faith whispered. Dr. White pulled his hands away.
"All right." He said, "Everything looks fine. Nothing to be worried about or anything. Let's take a look at the baby now, okay?"
"All right." Faith smiled softly. "I'll never get used to that."
"Good." Bosco chuckled. Dr. White squeezed the gel onto Faith stomach. She giggled softly. "Cold?"
"Very." She squirmed. Bosco chuckled slightly as Dr. White started the scan. Bosco watched the screen. He never could understand how people could read these things.
"All right." Dr. White pointed to the screen. "There's your baby." Bosco stared to where the doctor was pointing. There was a tiny white blob with things hanging off of it. "There's the arms and legs. It's swimming around right now." Faith grinned brightly.
"It's so beautiful." She said.
"Is that the heart beat?" Bosco asked. Dr white nodded pointing to the movement in the middle of the baby.
"Yeah. The heart beat is strong and steady." He said, "The baby looks completely healthy."
"Good." Faith smiled tenderly. She looked at Bosco. He was still staring at the screen. He couldn't take his eyes off of it. That was his baby. His flesh and blood. "Bosco?"
"That's my baby." He whispered. Faith smiled taking his hand. "I'm really going to be a father." Faith chuckled.
"This is his first baby." She smiled at the doctor. Faith kissed Bosco's hand, "Seeing the baby up there really makes it real doesn't it?" Bosco nodded slowly.
"You can take the ultrasound home." Dr. White said, "Its been recorded and you can watch it as much as you want to at home." He shut the machine off and started to clean off Faith's stomach.
"Thank you." Faith smiled. Bosco nodded.
"I'm a dad." He mumbled. It was finally sinking in. Maurice Boscorelli was going to e a father.
