Faith sat at the computer working on one of her school assignments. Vincent was at school so it was nice and quiet here. Bosco was god knows where. She leaned back and stretched. Maybe she should take a last look at Emily's wedding dress. The wedding was so close.

"Sweetheart?" Bosco called out. Faith glanced up.

"What are you doing home?" She asked.

"I have a surprise for you." Bosco walked into the room smiling. Faith chuckled.

"What kind of surprise?" She asked.

"A nice surprise." Bosco extended his hand, "it's your birthday and Christmas present." Faith chuckled softly and stood up.

"All right. What is it?" She took his hand. He squeezed it gently.

"Close your eyes and be careful. It's outside." He said.

"All right, Silly." Faith closed her blue eyes. He was up to something big. Bosco was grinning as he led her outside.

"Okay, open them." He said. Faith opened her eyes and gasped. In the driveway sat a silver ford blazer 2009 model.

"Oh my god." She ran over to the car, "You bought us a new car."

"No. I bought you a new car, Faith." Bosco said to her.

"But why?" She asked him with still large eyes. Bosco shrugged.

"Do I need a reason to give my wife a car?" He asked.

"Well, most of the time yeah." She laughed in amazement, "Do you have the keys for it?" Bosco handed them to her.

"Of course. Are we going for a ride?" Bosco asked.

"Oh yeah. Definitely" Faith smiled jumping into the car. She groaned as the felt the seats. "God, this feels so good."

"So do you like the car?" Bosco asked. Faith nodded.

"Yes." Faith looked at him, "Thank you so much."

"No problem." Bosco smiled as he watched Faith start the car up. She looked so happy. She started the car up and pulled out of the driveway. She groaned loudly again running her hands over the steering wheel. Faith stopped at the red light and looked at her husband.

"Let's go pick the boys up." Faith smiled, "You think they'll freak?" Bosco nodded.

"Oh yes." Bosco said. She chuckled as she drove towards Vincent's school. The kids were starting to file out.

"There he is." Faith hung out the window, "Vincent! Over here!" He stopped and stared at the car. he grinned and ran over to them. He threw his book bag in and climbed in.

"Who's truck is this?" He asked. Faith grinned.

"Mine." She said, "Daddy bought it for me. Do you like?"

"Yes. It's cool." Vincent said, "Can I have a truck?"

"When you're sixteen." Bosco said as they drove to Charlie's school. Vincent grinned.

"Thanks." Vincent said smelling the seat. Bosco chuckled softly.

"Charlie is going to freak." Faith smiled. Vincent squealed as Faith drove to Charlie's school.

"He's gonna pee his pants." Vincent laughed wildly.

"Don't let him in the car before he does." Bosco smirked as they stopped in front of his school. They saw Charlie talking with a group of his friends. Faith smiled softly. He looked so grown up. She honked the horn.

"Charles Yokas!" She yelled. He looked over and his eyes widened.

"I'll see you later guys." Charlie said to his friends and walked up eyeing the car, "You're kidding me right?" Faith chuckled.

"No." Faith said, "Dad bought it for me." Charlie ran his hand over the car.

"This is totally cool." Charlie said getting in, "You are getting me a car when I get my license right?" Faith looked in the rearview and chuckled.

"We'll see." She said as she drove her boys back towards her house. This was an amazing car. Bosco would get very lucky tonight.

The Boscorelli family sat in the living room of there house, playing monopoly. Bosco was kicking everyone's asses. Faith insisted on letting Vincent win, but he wouldn't hear of it.

"You need to show him life isn't easy." Bosco said.

"He's five, Bos." Faith chuckled as Vincent rolled the dice.

"Seven." Vincent picked up his piece, "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Oh!" he landed on one of Bosco's places. Vincent narrowed his eyes.

"Oh yeah! Two hundred dollars, Buddy. I have a hotel on that!!" Bosco cackled. Faith shook her head. Her husband took this game way too seriously. He would reduce Vincent to tears before the night was over. he always did when they played this.

"You get way into this game." Charlie smiled. Vincent looked at his money.

"You suck, Daddy." He said. Faith let out a loud laugh.

"Yes he does." Faith said helping Vincent count out his money. The lights began to flicker. "Uh oh. Ice on the lines."

"Oooh. This will be fun." Charlie grinned brightly.

"No it won't be." Bosco said rolling the dice as the lights ran out.

"AHHH!!!" Vincent screamed loudly. Faith chuckled.

"It's all right." She said.
"No it isn't.." Bosco growled, "Get the flash lights and candles and stuff!"

"It's all right, Bos. Don't scare Vincent." Faith said.

"Don't scare him??" Bosco cried. Faith smiled softly. She had always thought her husband fear of the dark was cute.

"Charlie, go upstairs and get the flashlights out of my hope chest. Be careful." She said, "I'll start a fire in the fireplace."

"Sure thing, ma." Charlie got up.

"Hurry up, Boy." Bosco said. Charlie chuckled softly and walked upstairs.

"Calm down, Bos." Faith said as she lit a match, "I'll get the fire started. Don't work yourself into an asthma attack." Vincent threw himself at Bosco and Bosco clung to his son.

"I'm scared, Daddy. I'm very scared." Vincent whimpered.

"Me too." Bosco kissed his head. Faith rolled her eyes.

"You two are absolutely ridiculous. Jeez." She said as the fire finally lit. "There we go, Boys." Bosco and Vincent crawled closer to the fire. Bosco breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here, ma." Charlie tossed Faith a couple of flashlights.

"Thanks, Sweetheart." Faith said as she looked at her husband, "Want a flashlight?"

"Yes, please." Bosco said.

"Who won monopoly, Maurice Boscorelli?" Faith smiled.

"Me." Bosco said in a whimper. "Can I have the flashlight?"

"Who won monopoly?" She asked.

"Me, faith!" He cried. She dangled the flashlight in front of him. Bosco looked at Vincent, then back to his wife, and sighed slightly, "Vincent Giovanni won of course." Faith smirked.

"That's right." She handed him the flashlight and Bosco turned it on. He cradled it like a newborn baby. Faith chuckled softly.

"Maybe we can tell some ghost stories." Charlie said.

"No!" Bosco and Vincent both cried.

"No, Sweetie. let's just sit here." Faith said, "Let's just sit here and enjoy each others company." Charlie rolled his eyes as he sat down in front of the fire place witht he rest of his family.

"When do you think the lights will be back on?" Bosco asked.

"Soon maybe." Vincent whimpered.

Faith smiled as she sat back against the couch. She watched Bosco and Vincent cuddle together with the flash light. Boy, they were two peas in a pod.
