(Two Months Later)
*Christmas Eve*
Bosco and Faith were going to a charity event for the NYPD and FDNY. All the men were required to wear tuxes so Bosco had rented his. F aithw as in a stunning black velvet gown that had a halter top type tie and a low V neck. It went all the way down to her ankels.
"I feel like a whale" she said, emerging from the bedroom
"You're the most beautiful full-term pregnant woman I've ever seen."
"Yea well any day now your daughter will be out of here and I'll be able to see my feet again. My shoes match, right?"
Bosco smiled and nodded.
They continued to get ready and leave.
~*~*~*~*~
The hall where they were holding the banquet was beautiful. It was decorated with Gold and Green and Red, for Christmas of course. Faith and Bosco immediately spotted their table. They were sitting with Ty, Sully,Kim,Jimmy,Holly and Carlos. Holly and Carlos has started dating and Kim and Jimmy decided to get married.
"So, any day now?" Levine asked
Faith nodded.
"Your baby is going to have a wonderful soul."
Faith nodded again, this time a weird look on her face.
"Honey," said Carlos. Levine just looked at him. "Let's go...dance or something."
Everyone started to laugh. When Carlos and Levine left the table, Faith looked at Kim.
"Who put what in her wine?"
"She's always like that, Faith."
"God help Carlos." They all laughed again.
Bosco took Faith's hand and led her to the dance floor. They were pressed as close as they could get, with her stomach.
"Faith, I love you."
"I love you too Bosco."
They continued to dance when Faith let out a low groan and clutched her stomach, water surrounded her on the floor.
"Oh Sh*t" Bosco said "KIM, CARLOS, LEVINE!!!" he screamed out. All three of the paramedics as well as Jimmy, Sully and Ty came running out to where the officers were. The floor broke into a semi circle as they worke on getting her ready to go.
"What happened?" Swersky asked running through the sea of people
"Her water broke!" Bosco yelled. The paramedics carried Faith out to a car and were on their way to Mercy.
~*~*~*~*~
"I...want...DRUGS!" Faith hissed through clenched teeth. Bosco was beside her, holding her hand while the nurses examined her.
"It's too late for that, Ms. Mitchell."
Sully, Ty, Kim, Carlos, Levine, Rose, Emily and Charlie were sitting in the waiting room, looking forward to the arrival of the baby.
"Faith, you're fully dialated. You can push on your next contraction."
Faith pushed as hard as she could and the baby's head popped out. She continued to push as the shoulders and rest of the body slid out of her. It was 12:45am on Christmas when Noelle Faith came into the world. She looked exactly like Bosco. Dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. Each person in the waiting room came in to visit the happy family. Charlie and Emily loved their new baby sister, and even Fred commented on how cute she was when he came to get the kids. Bosco sat in a rocking chair, holding his new daughter while his fiancee slept. He was talking to her, promising her everything she could ever want. Faith woke up and heard him talking, but she kept her eyes closed. She smiled to herself. Her first marriage ending in disaster, but now she had a new life with a man she loved more than life itself and a new baby girl.
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco, Faith and Noelle got to go home on Christmas morning. There was a tree in the house and gifts littered the ground underneath it. Bosco and Faith had gotten each other some small things, Charlie and Emily had the majority of the presents there and Noelle had a few. There was also some for everyone in the 55.
They put Noelle in her crib while she took a nap.
"Merry Christmas" Faith said as she wrapped her arms around Bosco.
"Yea...it is."
They gave each other a kiss and headed downstairs. They had a baby monitor in the kitchen. Everyone was coming over for Christmas Dinner. They were going to open their gifts then. Faith put the turkey and the ham in the oven while Bosco got to work on cleaning the house.
~*~*~*~*~
Everyone was gathered around the tree and were about to open presents. There were almost twice as many as there was this morning because everyone had bought a gift for everyone. Faith passed out a few of the gifts in front to their recipients and everyone got to work on opening their gifts.
By the time they were finished there was wrapping paper all over and gifts piled next to everyone. They'd eaten dinner before the gifts, and were going to eat dessert now. Faith had baked an Apple, Blueberry and Peach pie as well as had Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream with Whipped Cream. Everyone walked into the kitchen, got their desert of choice and walked back into the dining room.
They laughed, talked, passed Noelle around to everyone. Bosco and Faith looked on and smiled as Sully took the newborn into his arms. They knew that she'd be so loved by everyone.
~*~*~*~*~
*New Year's Eve*
Bosco and Faith were going to a party. Noelle was going to stay with Rose all night. She'd figured Bosco and Faith could use some alone time. They were both apprehensive about leaving Noelle for the first time, but they knew she'd be ok with Rose.
Faith didn't have any stretch marks from her pregnancies. Each one she'd used a special cream that prevented them. She had a glittery shirt on that showed the lower half of her stomach and a pair of tight black pants on. Bosco had a pair of Black dickies on and a white button down shirt. Faith walked out of the bathroom as Bosco was putting on his shoes.
"Whoa!" he said as she walked by him.
"What?"
"You look....sexy."
"Why thank you."
"I mean it. Dang, maybe I should bring both of my guns."
"Bos.."
He crossed the room and put his hands on her hips. He kissed her neck and shoulders.
"Three more weeks Bos."
"I know.."
He kissed her neck once more and they continued to get ready. They went downstairs and kissed Noelle goodbye. Rose was feeding her a bottle on the couch. Bosco and Faith walked out the door and sped off in his mustang.
Bosco reached across the divider and took hold of Faith's hand. He didn't see the Ford Explorer coming toward him and the last thing he heard was Faith's screams as the metal crunched.
~*~*~*~*~
"Faith?" Bosco mumbled shaking his head violently.
"Bosco, settle down. You're at Mercy. Faith is in the trauma room next door." he recognized the voice immediately as Nurse Mary Proctor's.
"Mary...is she ok?"
"I don't know Bosco. Look, you have a few broken ribs and a broken wrist. You were very lucky."
"What about the bastard that hit us?"
"He died. He was drunk, 4x over the legal limit."
"Jesus...Mary, check on Faith...please?"
"Alright.." Mary walked through the swinging doors that joined the trauma rooms. Faith was laying down. They inserted a tube into her throat to help her breath. A monitor was set off.
"Her BP is dropping rapidly"
"We need to remove the metal shard from her chest. We gotta get to the OR." They undid the lock on the gurney and rolled her onto the elevator. Mary looked on in horror as the doors shut.
