Chapter 6-Mountian Rescue
"Seajae?" She heard Jimmy's voice in the haze of pain. "Seajae?"
"Where's Bosco?"
"Calling Caleb. Are you okay?"
"No."
"Helps on the way."
"Don't lie to me Jimmy."
"When have I ever been able to lie to you Boscorelli?"
"This is true. How's Kim?"
"Pregnant."
"Jimmy, that's great." She saw something that most people would miss on her friends face. "Isn't it?"
"Things are going to be tight."
"Jimmy." Another round of pain hit her. Seajae winced.
"I know Seaj. It'll all work out." He knew if he started talking he'd pull her into his troubled life and she didn't need that right now.
"How does Kim feel about it?"
"She's happy but worried too."
"It's life Jimmy. You make what you want of it."
"I know." He knew he needed to keep Seajae talking and awake so he relayed his fears about Kim and having another baby. "I just don't know if we can make it Seajae."
"You will."
"But everything that happened when Ireland was born......"
"Jimmy that was a lifetime ago and it was a bad scene all around..." She stopped. Seajae felt the pain in every nerve of her body. She closed her eyes. She had never felt pain like this.
"Seajae......" She felt Jimmy's hand sqeeze hers. "Don't give up on us now. We need you here. We need you to make us see it will be all right." Bosco came and sat next to her. He looked at Jimmy.
"Hold on Seajae. Helps coming. Everything from the city north is snowed in but Caleb's doing eveything he can to make up here." Seajae tried to open her eyes.
"Bosco. Just let me go. I can't fight it anymore."
"No. I'm not letting you go. NOT NOW! NOT EVER!" He kissed her face. "Baby listen to me....." He felt the pulse. It was strong. He breathed a sign of relief. "She's giving up Jimmy. I can't let her give up."
"She won't Bosco. She won't give up on you. On us." Jimmy patted his friends back. "If anyone can get us out of this its Caleb. Billy and I will keep an eye out outside. You stay here and keep your wife warm." He got up and headed outside where Billy was already standing gard.

Hope Alexandra Boscorelli let out a wail. She wanted her mommy. Needed her here. She loved her cousin Emily but she wasn't her mommy. She felt a warm hand on her cheek. Opening her eyes she saw her big sister.
"Mommy's coming home soon Hope. Uncle Caleb went to bring her home. Daddy and mommy are safe little one. I talked to Gamma Angela and she's keeping them safe." She kissed her sisters forhead and the little girl fell back to sleep.

Seajae woke with a start. At least it felt like she was awake. But the hand stroking her cheek wasn't Bosco's. It was Angela Boscorelli's.
"Mom?"
"Hey sweety."
"I'm dead?"
"Far from it honey. I just came to make sure you don't give up. Not now. Not when everything is so right."
"Right? The CIA or whoever is trying to kill us. I got shot. How can things be right?"
"You know as well as I everything has a purpose. You got over me leaving. Your over the worst of it. You need to get back to my son and my grandbabies. Get on with your life Sunshine."
"I never had so much pain."
"You've been though worse baby. I've seen your family.......they miss you but they want you to carry on. To do big things with your life. To make everyday count."
"I've tried."
"And you will make it." She kissed her daughter in laws cheek. "Tell Maurice I love him. And I love you." Seajae closed her eyes and opened them and Angela was gone. She flet someone stir next to her.
"Bosco?"
"Yeah baby, I'm here."
"Angela says she loves you." Bosco looked into his wifes warm brown eyes. He wanted to wipe away the pain that was there.
"I know that. I always have." He wiped the tear that fell down her cheek. "Your going to be okay Seajae."
"I know." The door opened and Kim and Doc came in followed by Caleb, Jimmy and Billy.
"Where the hell did you guys come from?" Bosco looked at his freinds.
"Caleb McKenzie lands on your roof in a snow storm and starts throwing around the Boscorelli name people drop what there doing and follow." Kim brought her bags to the side of the couch and Doc followed.
"Only you would get shot in a blinding snow storm and dig out of a anvalanche. Didn't the doc at Mercy tell you to take it easy?"
"Hey its been months since I was at the hospital." Kim cut the sleve off her jacket. "Hey that's a two hundred dollar jacket."
"With a bullet hole in it. Now shut up and let me work here."
"Shut up?" Seajae looked at Doc. "Did she just tell me to shut up?"
"Listen to her. She may take your arm off if you don't." Caleb went to Bosco and motioned him away from Seajae.
"You okay?"
"Cold but we're all fine."
"We're going to head to Albany and take her to the hospital there."
"No she wants to go home Caleb."
"I called in some favors but I don't know if we can get back to the city today. Bosco the kids are fine. Faith and Doyle pulled up just as I was leaving the station. The FBI has them under lock and key. Bosco its shit out there....I pushed it getting this far."
"How are the girls and Mac?"
"Missing you guys. But Emily, Tatianna and Sully are doing fine with them." Caleb looked at his friends tired eyes. "You need some rest. You all need some rest. Albany in closer. I'm not risking all of us to get back to New York today."
"I would never ask you to risk your life or anyone elses. She's just so,,,,fragile right now. Home would help her fight harder."
"We'll make her fight." Caleb patted his friends shoulder. "Hey Seajae we got an hour window to get you to Albany. I need to take it now or were going to be stuck here. You game for a bumpy ride north?"
"I've ridden with you in good weather and it was scary as hell." Kim bumbed her arm. "Watch it."
"Hey who's the one with the medical training girlfriend. Now stop bitching." Kim looked at Bosco. She smiled to tell him all was going to be ok.
"I hope our friends don't decied to come back."
"We have the air space for a hundred miles is being scanned."
"But if there CIA?"
"They still can't get past this servalience." The tone told Bosco not to take it any futher. "So lets got our of here before the snow gets any worse." Caleb looked at Seajae. "We'll make it home soon kiddo." They packed up and made thier way to the helecopter he had landed a few hundred yards away. Seajae looked at her husband and friends. She had so much in her life. Friends who would risk thier lives for her and a husband willing to die for her. She closed her eyes and let exhaustion over take her.
"Seajae?" She heard Jimmy's voice in the haze of pain. "Seajae?"
"Where's Bosco?"
"Calling Caleb. Are you okay?"
"No."
"Helps on the way."
"Don't lie to me Jimmy."
