A week after her fathers death, there was a funeral. No one attended except Rose, who felt it was her duty. Mercedes stood outside the fire station on the day of her father's funeral. She looked up at Carlos who was setting the bus up for the day.

"Riding with Levine again?" Mercedes loved picking on her husband about Levine.

"Yes, I think if I don't get a change, I'm going to fall over." Carlos smirked at her, getting out of the bus. Bosco walked up to Mercedes, looking at her.

"Didn't go to the funeral, either?" Bosco said to her a she shook her head.

"Why? He was never like a real father. I have no tears for him." She shrugged and looked at her watch.

"You're going to be late." She pointed to the time.

"Damn it! What else is new?" He kissed her cheek and ran off, to try to make roll call.

"No regrets, Mercedes?" Carlos said to her, moving his arms over her waist.

"Nope. As far as I am concerned, he was just a patient who refused treatment. I tried my best, but it was meant to happen. Bad Karma as Levine would say." She smirked up at him.

"Don't start the karma crap." He said, kissing her softly.

"Yes, sir." She kissed him back as Kim came down, making a face.

"Don't you two ever stop?" Kim commented, getting her bus ready for the day.

"Nope!" They both said in unison and went back to kissing.
