Faith didn't tell Bosco about the kiss. She could not tell him because he would leave her. She knew he would leave her. She was guilt ridden and he noticed something was wrong.

"So Faith are you pregnant or something?" Bosco asked as she washed the dishes.

"No." She said.

"Well, you have barely spoken to me the past two weeks." He said.

"That's cause I've just had a lot on my mind." faith said grabbing a plate.

"Is...Is your cancer back?" Bosco asked her softly.

"No. It's not back." She said, "Don't you have to go back to work?"

"Yeah, but we're going to talk more about this when I get home all right?" Bosco asked.

"Sure. We can." Faith said. Bosco kissed her cheek.

"Take care." he said and left the house. Faith bowed her head and closed her eyes. God, This was terrible. She was lying to him.

"This Little Nikki shit is awful." Bosco said looking at Ty.

"No it's not. Rap is great." Ty said. Bosco let out a loud laugh.

"Give me good old rock any old day." Bosco said.

"You've got old right." He said with a chuckle. Bosco frowned.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Bosco asked. Ty grinned.

"Nothing, Man. I swear." He said with a wink. Bosco shook his head as he flipped the radio to the station he always listened to. "So, we need to have a boys night out like the girls did, but of course not let it turn out bad like theirs." Bosco looked at Ty.

"Turn out bad? How did theirs turn out bad?" Bosco questioned his partner.

"Well, you know...the kiss." Ty said. Bosco shook his head.

"What kiss? You are not making sense." Bosco said.

"You know...Faith and that guy....You do know right?" Ty asked as it clicked into his head that it might not. Bosco stared at him.

"Faith and what guy?" Bosco clenched his teeth together.

"Listen man I don't know. Alex came home pretty pissed off about it." Ty said.

"God damn it, Davis, tell me what the fucking You are talking about." Bosco said. Ty sighed knowing Alex would bitch him out for telling Bosco.

"Alex said she and Faith were dancing with these guys. Faith had a drink or two and she was dancing pretty hot and heavy with this guy....says Alex." Ty mumbled, "She saw them kissing."
"kissing how?" Bosco growled. Ty cleared his throat.

"Tongue wrestling, kissing." Ty said. Bosco hit the steering wheel.

"That god damn bitch." Bosco snapped. He did a u-turn almost ramming into a yellow bus. Ty grabbed the dashboard.

"Christ, Bosco, what are you doing?" He said with wide eyes.

"Having a little talk with my wife." Bosco snarled.

Faith still was working in the kitchen. She was determined to get every stain out of this kitchen. She heard the front door slam open and the coat rack fall to the floor. In an instant, Bosco grabbed her roughly and spun her around to look at him. She looked into his eyes and saw fury. She knew he knew about the kiss.

"Oh god, Bos, I'm so sorry." She cried. She couldn't stop her body from trembling.

"Sorry!? You are fucking sorry for being a god damn whore??" Bosco cried.

"Boscorelli, don't" Ty stood in the doorway. he didn't like it when Bosco got pissed off.

"Bosco, please." Faith whispered as he let go of her.

"How could you? how could you kiss another man?" Bosco said, "I told you a long time that once I got married, I was in this for the long haul. But this, Faith, this in inexcusable. You left me for a few weeks for touching you, but this? Breaking our wedding vows, is absolutely disgusting." Faith stared at him. he looked s tough standing there in his uniform.

"What do you want Bosco?" Faith whispered, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know, but the sight of you makes me sick." Bosco said. That was like a punch to Faith's stomach. She started to cry. Ty looked down. He wanted to run, but he could not. he wanted to be here, just in case this got really out of hand.

"I...I will leave if you want me to." Faith said. Bosco shook his head.

"No I don't want you to leave." Bosco said, "I want you to tell me why."

"Why? I...I don't know, Bosco." She whispered wiping her eyes, "We were just dancing close on the dance floor and I didn't even realize I was kissing him until Alex hit me. If I could take it back I would. I've been...I've been so sick the past couple of weeks. I don't want to loose you, Bos. you're my world."

"If I was your world, Faith, then you wouldn't have kissed another man." With that, Bosco turned and left. Ty looked at Faith, but then followed his partner. Faith stood there crying.

Bosco didn't want to go home. He didn't want to see what faced him there. Would Faith be there or would she be gone? What did he want? he wasn't totally sure. Bosco pulled the car up into the driveway. Emily's car was there. He sighed and got out. Sure enough Emily was there sitting on the couch. She looked up at him.

"Why are you here?" Bosco asked her. She frowned slightly.

"Because mom called me in hysterics." Emily said, "It took me forever to calm her down, so don't get her upset again."

"Hysterics?" Bosco asked his step-daughter. Emily nodded.

"She told me what happened and she's sorry, Dad." Emily said.

"And?" He asked.

"And you should be more supportive to her." She said.

"Supportive, Em?" Bosco stared at her, "How would you feel if Jay told you he kissed another woman?" Emily sighed.

"I would be devastated of course, but I would listen to him instead of freaking out on him, Dad." She said. "Mom thinks You are going to divorce her. Are you?" Bosco sighed.

"No. I love her." Bosco said.

"She dosent know that right now." Emily said sadly, "She's put herself through hell these past two weeks feeling guilty about this. Just talk with her. You guys don't need to have another hiccup in this marriage. You really can't afford it." Bosco nodded.

"You can go home now, Emily. It'll be okay." he said.

"It better be." Emily said getting up. Bosco walked up the stairs. he stood outside their bedroom door. He could hear Faith crying. He sighed and went in. She was curled up in bed.

"I won't be okay with this ever." Bosco said. Faith looked up at him with red eyes.

"I know. I'm not asking you to be okay with it." She said, "I just...want you to know how sorry I am." Bosco sat at the edge of the bed.

"I see how sorry you are, Faith, but you need to know where I'm coming from." He said. "We've been married for six years, Faith. Do you want to throw this all away?"

"No. Absolutely not." Faith said, "I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Yes, I can forgive you, but I won't forget." Bosco said. Faith nodded.

"I can accept that." She said. Bosco touched her arm. Faith's eyes looked so sad.

"I still love you, Faith." He whispered. Faith took in a shuddery breath and buried her face in his chest. He kissed the top of her head softly. Just those words made Faith feel so much better. She was glad this was all out in the open, but yet she wasn't. She knew Bosco wouldn't trust her for a very long time.
