Faith was walking on eggshells around Bosco lately, but he insisted he was okay with everything. It was just a kiss. he kept telling her, but frankly he just wanted to forget about it. He wanted to move on.

"Maybe we can have a nice family dinner tonight." Faith said as she pulled her uniform on, "You know invited Emily and Jay over and maybe Maren and Isaac. Do it up big."

"Sounds good to me, but I think we should let Emily host it one of these times. I'm sick of cleaning up after them." Bosco said. Faith smiled softly at the mere notion of him cleaning up after one of their dinner parties. It would never happen, "Where is Davis?"

"No idea." She said buttoning up the last button, "Seems like a lot of people aren't here."

"Lucky them." Bosco muttered and closed his locker door. "You ready?"

"Yeah." She smiled and opened the door up. "After you."

"Thank you, My lovely." Bosco smiled walking into the room. Everyone looked at them, "We're not late. Are we?"

"Sit." Lt. Ryan said. Faith chuckled and sat down with a sigh. "All right, as you know or may not know five of our officers ate at MiGinty's yesterday and came down with severe food poisoning. We are short cops so I don't want to hear any bull from you guys. Pepper you're on foot patrol. Simon and Franks you're riding together. Boscorellis, you're together."

"What?" Faith frowned, "I have to ride with him?"

"Davis and Sullivan are throwing up out of both ends." Lt. Ryan said.

"Woah. Woah. I don't need to know that." Bosco grimaced.

"You're riding with your wife so shut up." Ryan said.

Faith stared at the raindrops as they dripped down the windshield. Bosco glanced at her.

"So, We've been riding for like...what? fifteen years?" He asked. Faith nodded.

"Yeah." Faith chuckled, "Can you believe that? We've been cops for over fifteen years."

"It's amazing." He said, "Can I ask you something?" Faith nodded.

"Sure." She said.

"When was the first time I made your heart skip a couple beats?" Bosco asked. Faith smirked as she looked at him

"For the very first time?" She asked.

"Yeah." Bosco said. Faith chuckled, thinking about it.

"Okay, you've made my heart skip a few times in the past, but the first real time that you made it do it was a date you and Nicole had." Faith said.

"Nicole? When?" Bosco asked.

"The night you were in the diner getting ready to meet Nicole at the Opera." She said, "Do you remember?" Bosco nodded.

"Yeah I do.' he said.

"When I saw you step out of those bathrooms wearing that tux, god you looked hot." Faith said with a slight smile, "I knew I wanted you at that very moment." Bosco chuckled.

"That was a pretty cool night and I did look hot if I must say.." He said.

"55-David, your assistance is requested at 524 Smith Street for crowd control." Dispatch said over the radio. Bosco groaned.

"Crowd control. That's exactly what I want to do on a rainy day." he said.

"Get over it. It's just water." She smiled turning the sirens on. Bosco looked at her and smiled.

"I love you, Faith." he said. Faith smiled softly. it was so nice to hear that from him lately. She had missed it a lot.

"I love you too. I always will, Bosco." she said as they neared the scene of the traffic accident. Maybe this hiccup they had have in their marriage was finally over. She knew there would be other ones, but for now Things were okay.

Emily ran her fingers through her hair. The curls were just right. Justin glanced at her.

"You look fine, Em. This isn't some big deal." Justin said. Emily narrowed her eyes.

"Yes it is. This is my first time my family has come over for a real dinner. plus it was Vinny's birthday yesterday so it was extra special." Emily stood up. "How do I look?"

"I just said fine." Justin said.

"Right. So the red dress." Emily went to the closet. Justin chuckled. She was being ridiculous.

"Mommy, I look nice?" Sydney spun into the room. Emily chuckled.

"You look pretty." She said, "Okay, a woman's point of view. Syd, the blue one or red one?" Sydney looked at her mother's dresses.

"Red." She said. Emily smirked at Justin.

"Your daughter is smarter than you." She said. Justin chuckled.

"Do you want me to set the table?" He asked. Emily nodded.

"please, thank you." Emily said as she pulled the new dress on. She looked at Sydney. "Do you think Grandma and grandpa will like dinner?" Sydney nodded

"You're a good cook, Momma." She said. Emily chuckled.

"Thank you." Emily kissed Sydney's brown hair. "Let's make sure daddy is putting the right plates on." Sydney nodded. She took her mother's hand as they walked out of the room.

"I'll make some salad." Justin said as the doorbell rang. Noelle started to bark.

"Shit." Emily cursed.

"I get it." Sydney ran to the door and opened it. Bosco, Faith, Charlie, and Vincent. "Grandpa!! grandma!!" She ran into Bosco's arms.

"Hey, Pumpkin." he kissed her cheeks.

"Hey Sweetie." Faith said walking into the apartment. She took her jacket off.

"Hey guys." Justin said.

"Something smells wonderful." Faith said, "What are you making?"

"Lasagna." Emily said, "It's your recipe." Faith smiled softly. Her daughter seemed to be doing very well.

"I can't wait." Bosco said.

"Dad, you want a beer or something?" Justin asked putting the salad on the table.

"No. I don't drink anymore." Bosco said.

"Oh yeah, forgot." Justin smiled. Emily pulle dup another chair.

"Why don't we all sit down and we can eat. Everything is ready." Emily said.
"Your food better not suck." Charlie said. Emily laughed.

"Gee, thanks." Emily went into the oven and pulled out the lasagna. Faith walked in.
"Do you need some help in here?" Faith asked. Emily shook her head.

"No. Everything is done." Emily said. Faith smiled.

"So, you like are a real homemaker aren't you?" Faith asked. Emily chuckled.

"I have been for awhile now." She said, handing her mother a basket of rolls.

"Are you happy?" Faith asked. Emily nodded.

"Extremely." She said, "Can we eat now? I think the boys will gnaw their arms off." Faith chuckled as they walked back into the dining room. It was strange being here, but it was so nice to finally have a home cooked dinner.
