The Only One: Chapter 7
Bosco's Apartment
The sun peeked through the venetian blinds casting a warm glow over the apartment. Faith woke up and looked at the clock. It was 1:30 in the afternoon. Wow! They had slept for a full twelve hours after their shift was over. She wasn't surprised, considering the emotional strain they had had for the past 24 hours. She looked over at Bosco. He was sleeping peacefully, curled up on his side. He was so cute when he was asleep. Faith resisted the urge to run her hand through his short brown hair. She had something very important to do.
She had been spending most nights at Bosco's for the last three months. It was kinda wasteful for her to keep paying for an apartment that she didn't use, but Bosco hadn't mentioned the two of them moving in together permanently. She was hoping that he would, but she didn't want to push it. She was amazed that he had even been in a comitted relationship for this long. She knew he would ask her when the time was right.
She pushed back the covers and silently slipped out of the bed. She walked over to the closet and pulled out a tank top and a pair of sweats. It amazed her that almost every article of clothing she owned was in this apartment in its own designated drawer. She might as well face it. They were living together, whether they admitted it or not. But it made her happy and as far as she could tell, it made him happy too. She thought back to when she and Fred were married. She had never been happy to wake up next to him. She always woke up with a feeling of dread in the mornings. She and Fred had faught every day of the week. She and Bosco never faught. They were so in tune with each others needs and feelings that they didn't have anything to fight over. Oh, they got annoyed with each other all the time, but it was just a stress release to be able to blow off a little steam. For the first time in her life she was truly happy with her choice in men. Everything was perfect except that Emily and Charlie were no longer here with her. The very thought of that caused a pain in her heart. She missed her kids so much it was hard to breathe at times. She pushed the thought of her children out of her mind as she put on a pair of sandals and headed out the door.
It was a beautiful afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. It was July and it was hot as hell out, but Faith loved the warm weather. She tilted her head back, relishing the feel of the hot sun on her face. As she walked down the sidewalk she noticed other women strolling babies along. Young children content to be taken for a long walk on a great day. As soon as kids get into the stroller, something happens: They just become so content. For Faith, a stroller had ment an hour or two of peace. Emily and Charlie both loved to go walking and sometimes it was the only thing that saved her sanity. Both her kids had been cholic and very cranky. As she continued along toward the drugstore she wondered if she was about to have another child to stroll along.
After making her purchase of not one, but two pregnancy tests, she left the store and walked to the nearest Starbucks. She got coffee for herself and one for Bos. He needed coffee the second he woke up...he really wasn't a morning person.
She decided that she would take the test before he woke up and then decide how and when to tell him. She knew she was pregnant. She had been almost four weeks late for her period. Even with everything that was going on with Alicia, she was really hoping that the test was positive. She wanted another child to hold, to love. She was pretty sure that Bosco would have been happy before, but that was when he didn't know about crazy-ass Alicia. Faith rolled her eyes just thinking about her.
Faith was back at the apartment by 2:00. She opened the door and stepped inside. It was quiet. She set the coffee down on the kitchen table and took her small drugstore bag down the hall to the bathroom. She looked in the bedroom along the way, expecting to see Bos still sleeping peacefully, but he wasn't there. She continued into the bathroom and hid the bag under the sink. She walked back out into the kitchen to get her coffee. On the table was a note that she hadn't seen previously, from Bosco. She picked it up and started to read, " Ma called me to come see her at the bar. Be back soon. I love you, Bos".
She set the note down and decided to go take the test right away. Then she could decide how to tell Bosco that he was about to become a father. Again.
