Will a trip to the bar change Bosco and Faith's life forever?

Faith woke up. She'd slept a lot better than she had in a long time. She sat up in bed and heard a noise somewhere in the apartment.
"Bosco?" she called.
He pushed open her door and looked at her.
"Morning" he said walking into her room. He sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her, "You sleep ok."
"More than ok. I slept great. I could get used to this"
"Go right ahead"
Faith giggled.
"So," he said rising up off the bed and attempting to help Faith off, "Wanna go get some groceries?"
"Sure. Let me shower first."
"Alright. I'll just get dressed."
"Hey Bosco?" she called as he walked into his bedroom
"Yea?"
"Thanks."
Bosco smiled at her and closed his door.
About a half hour later and they were out the door. They got in Bosco's car and drove off to Costco. Faith got a cart and they began their trip around the grocery store.
"Bosco," Faith said as Bosco put another bag of potatoes chips in the bag "Let's say we get something a bit more nutritional."
"I guess you're right" Bosco said, taking out all but one bag of chips.
"I need to get some saltines."
"Why?"
"When the morning sickness starts I'll need 'em."
"Oh Ok."
He grabbed a box off the shelf.
"Better get another, just in case."
Bosco nodded. This was all new to him. He knew nothing about pregnant women. He never thought he'd have to deal with one carrying his own baby, let alone his partner and best friend for years.
They walked out of the store an hour later and were on their way back to the apartment. Bosco insisted on carrying all the groceries in the house.
"Bos, you should let me do something while I'm not sick or big as a house."
"No Faith. I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby."
"Our appointment is in a couple hours"
"Yea. I remember. You should get some rest, you know, take a nap before we go"
"Bosco. Look I appreciate the new and improved you, but I'm not glass."
"I know. I think after the appointment we should go talk to Swersky."
"Bosco I hate being on a desk!"
"Yea but you're pregnant."
"Bosco..."
"Faith," he began putting a bag on the counter and closing the distance between them, "Seriously. I don't want anything to happen to this. I'm going to be a dad and I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to have my baby."
"Really?" she said, tears forming in her eyes
Bosco stepped closer to her and slid his arms around her waist. She looked up and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. He returned the kiss. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the couch. She sat on top of his lap and he put his hands on her stomach.
"That's us in there, Faith. That's you and me inside there." Faith put her hands on top of Bosco's as he caressed her stomach through the fabric of her shirt. Faith leaned into Bosco's embrace and relaxed. They both fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~
"Faith" Bosco whispered sharply. She moaned slightly but didn't wake up.
"Faith, you gotta get up. We'll be late for the doctor."
"Oh." she moaned opening her eyes. Bosco's arms enclosed around her stomach, rubbing it again trying to wake her up.
"Ok." she said, trying to get out of Bosco's lap. "Let me freshen up and we can get out of here."
Bosco nodded and went into the kitchen to put the rest of the food away. He'd put all the frozen stuff away as soon as they got home. Faith splashed cold water on her face. She took a minute to study her reflection. Her eyes weren't sporting the black circles that'd been attached to her for the last couple of weeks. She looked refreshed, almost glowing. She walked out of the bathroom.
"Ready?" asked Bosco
Faith nodded and stood by the door while he got his jacket. He took her hand in his and they walked out of the door.
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office while Faith leafed through a magazine. He let a large breath go and ran his hands through his hair.
"Bosco" Faith said, putting her hand on his thigh,"Relax." A nurse entered the waiting area and called Faith's name.
"You don't have to come in if you don't want."
"That's my baby, Faith. I'm definitely going in."
They were led to a small room in the back. They gave Faith a hospital gown and told her to put it on. She did what they said and sat on the small table. She put her legs in the stirrups, and looked beside her. Bosco looked horrified at the stuff in the room.
"Bosco" Faith said, suppressing a laugh. She reached beside him and grabbed his hand. He looked at her with fear in his eyes. She squeezed his hand for reassurance and the doctor walked in.
"Hello. I'm Dr.McConnel. You're Ms.Mitchell?"
"Yes. This is the baby's father, Maurice Boscorelli" Bosco gave the man a slight smile.
"Is this the first pregnancy?"
"His. My third."
"So you know the routine then, Faith?"
She nodded.
"Alright then, I'll just explain everything to Maurice"
"Bosco."
"Pardon?"
"You can call me Bosco."
"Ok Bosco. First I'm going to do a pelvic exam to make sure everything feels alright then we can do the ultrasound."
Bosco almost grimaced at the pelvic exam part. Faith stared at the ceiling and the Doctor sterilized his hand and dove in. She squeezed Bosco's hand whenever the man touched a particularly sensitive spot.
"Alright" he said washing his hands in the sink. "Everything looks ok. Now are you ready to see your baby."
"This is the good part" Faith whispered to Bosco.
The doctor spread some gel onto Faith's stomach. An image appeared on the screen and the doctor pointed out everything. The head, arms, legs. Faith looked over at Bosco.
"You should be due around December 28th, give or take a few days"
His eyes were blurry with tears and one streamed down his face as he said,
"That's our baby, Faith"
