The next afternoon, Carlos got up. Mercedes was still asleep next to him. He got up slowly, to not wake her and walked out to the kitchen. Looking at Bosco, who was already awake, he poured a cup of coffee.
"Can you bring me into work? I want to leave the car here for her in case she wants to get out of the house."
"Sure, just be ready. I want to get to work on time for once." Bosco mumbled, still half asleep.
Carlos went into the bedroom to get ready. After showering and getting dressed he heard a whistle. Turning around, Mercedes was sitting up in bed, smiling.
"You sexy beast." She smiled at him as he moved to her side. He sat next to her and hugged her, kissing her gently.
"You're not so bad yourself." He peeked under her t-shirt and smiled.
"When you get off shift big boy." She held his hand
"I am going to work with Mo, If you need to do anything, I am leaving the car here. I'll be home at the usual time, and don't do anything that will hurt you." He kissed her passionately and stood up.
"COME ON ALREADY!" Bosco yelled from the doorway.
Carlos ran for the door looking back for a moment.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Sexy Beast"
The usual happened on Carlos and Bosco's shift. 2 Car accidents, a GSW and a heart attack. Bosco walked out of the precinct and headed towards the fire station, looking for Carlos.
"CARLOS! YOU READY?" He yelled up the stairs.
"Whoa boy. Don't be yelling." Jimmy looked at him from the top of the stairs.
"Bite me Jag off. Is Carlos up there?"
"Yeah he'll be down in a minute, breath."
"Bite me. Tell him to hurry up." As he finished that sentence, Carlos came bounding down the stairs.
"About time." Bosco headed towards his car.
They pulled up to their apartment. They had moved to a larger apartment with 4 bedrooms, so they could each have a room. Getting out of the car, Carlos looked at Bosco.
"Your mom dropped Mikey off this afternoon according to Mercedes. So he'll be home."
"Yay, I can play keep away." Bosco laughed as they got to their apartment door. Opening it, they heard no noise.
"Awfully quiet for a house with a baby in it." Bosco looked around, getting nervous.
"Mercedes? Mikey?" Carlos looked around, and went into the nursery. He saw Mikey, asleep in his crib. Walking out slowly he checked his bedroom and shook his head.
"Where could that girl be?" Bosco looked through the rest of the apartment and shook his head. Carlos went into their bedroom and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Love? Are you in there?" Carlos knocked and tried to open the door, it moved and he looked in.
"BOSCO!" He yelled as he kneeled by his unconscious wife. She lay, in her nightshirt, on the floor. A small puddle of blood was between her thighs. Bosco ran into the room and gasped as Carlos picked his wife up and moved her to the bedroom floor. Bosco got on his cell and dialed 911. Carlos listened for an airway and felt soft breathing against his cheek. He looked at Bosco.
"She's breathing. Where is this blood coming from?" Carlos' eyes filled with tears, as his wife lay unconscious.
After a moment, the Ambulance pulled up and Bosco buzzed them in. It was Kim and Doc, who were pulling a double. Doc kneeled beside her and listened to her heart, then set up an IV. Kim looked between her legs and sighed. She didn't know where the blood came from either. Moving her to the backboard, they put her on the gurney and moved her out to the ambulance. Carlos got in.
"I'll get Mikey and follow after!" Bosco ran back into the house as the Ambulance pulled away.
"Pulse is 110, BP is 80 over 50, and Resps are 12." Kim called the hospital as Carlos held his wife's hand. Doc pulled into the hospital ER bay and ran to pull Mercedes out. Carlos followed as the doctors took her, for the 2nd time in 48 hours and rushed her into the trauma room.
