Take A Look in the Mirror
[A sequel to Life's Little Surprises.]
After Bosco and Faith's honeymoon, the couple recieves some unexpected surprises...what'll happen in the next part of this story?
~*~*~*~*~
-PREVIOUSLY-
**"The thing that bothers me is...to conceive twins, one of the parents would usually have twins in the family and I don't have any twins in mine."
Bosco's blood ran cold.
"What about you?"
Bosco froze, his mind racing. He'd never told anyone what he was about to say to his wife and he was pretty damn afraid.
"Well, I'm a twin..."**
~*~*~*~*~
Faith bolted upright in bed.
"What?!"
"I have a twin brother. Look, I wanted to tell you, it just never seemed right and I've never told anyone before..."
"Do you ever talk to him?!"
"Yea...every couple weeks. He lives in Queens. Gotta wife, 3 kids."
"What's his name?"
"Matthew."
"Figures"
"What?"
"Michael, Maurice, Matthew...all M's."
"Well..."
"Does he know about me?"
"Of course. He knows everything, Faith. I call him about once every few weeks."
"So, you've told him about me, and Em and Noelle?"
"Yup..bout Charlie too, and the new baby."
"Can I meet him?"
"As a matter of fact, I'm having lunch with him and Tracy tomorrow."
"Tracy? His wife?"
"Yea. She's a Real Estate Agent, and he's...well, he's a cop."
"What?! He's a cop?"
"Detective..."
"Wow."
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco and Faith walked into Rose's bar around 1pm. Matthew and Tracy Boscorelli were sitting at the bar, chatting idely with Rose while they waited for Bosco. Rose paused mid-sentence when she saw Faith walk in with Bosco. Matthew and Tracy turned their heads to glance at the couple walking in the door and got up off of their bar stools.
"You must be Faith."
She nodded eagerly, extending her hand to the man who looked exactly like her husband.
"I'm Matt, and this is my wife Tracy."
"Nice to meet you." said Tracy extending her hand out to Faith
"Sorry for the silent thing, it's just...you look so much like Bosco. It's really scary!"
"Well, twins..." he said walking over to Bosco who was beaming at the scene before him. He gave his brother a loose hug and Bosco kissed Tracy's cheek. They all went over to a booth and sat down.
"So, Faith..you're a cop too?"
"Yea...I'm a patrol seargent for the 55th."
"Wow...you must see alot of action then?"
"Not as much as you'd think."she laughed.
The four of them laughed and talked for the next hour and a half. Rose came out from behind the bar and pulled a chair to the end of the table.
"So, now that you're here Ma, me and Faith have something to say."
"What's this?"
"Well, we went to the doctor's yesterday and somehow, they missed this before, but we're having twins."
"What?!" said Rose, Matt and Tracy almost at the same time.
"Anthony has a new brother to play with. We're gonna name him Andrew Michael"
"That is so great, Mo'" said Matt shaking his brother's hand.
Faith smiled widely....everything was falling into place.
~*~*~*~*~
"So?" said Bosco walking downstairs.
"What?"
"How do I look?"
"Fine. What time are they supposed to be here?"
"Twenty minutes. Ok, so they have 3 kids. Danielle is 16, same as Em, Sam is 7 and Alyssa is almost 2."
"Alright." she said, stirring the spaghetti sauce in the pan
Emily walked down the stairs, Noelle prancing behind her.
"Are you guys ever going to tell us who these mysterious guests are?"
"Nope..you just have to wait."
"They must be pretty special if mom's using the good china."
"Yea, you could say that" nodded Bosco, sliding his hands around Faith's waist. The doorbell rang and Bosco went to get it.
"Mom?" she asked, seeing the family at the door.
"It's alright. Go into the foyer with Bosco."
Emily and Noelle walked into the foyer slowly, standing behind Bosco.
"Alright, Emily...Noelle, this is your Uncle Matthew, Aunt Tracy, and cousins Danielle, Sam and Alyssa."
"Whoa.." said Emily, looking at Matthew
"You'll get used to it..." said Faith walking in front of her, hugging Tracy and Matt.
It wasn't long before the kids were playing in the living room while the adults, Emily and Danielle were in the kitchen, talking.
"So, Danielle" began Faith, "What highschool do you go to?"
"West Hills."
"How is that possible?" blurted Emily
"What?" asked Danielle
"That's where I go...."
"Wow..that's weird."
The girls walked up to Emily's bedroom, talking about their mutual friends and everything else.
"Who's this?" asked Tracy holding up a picture from two years ago.
"That's our other son, Charlie..."
"Wow..I'm sorry." she said, feeling really guilty
"It's alright."
"How long's it been?"
"A year next week."
"So," began Bosco trying to change the subject. Faith was really emotional when she was pregnant and he could see the tears grow.
"I'll..uh..be right back." she said drying her hands on her apron and walking up the stairs.
"I'm really sorry, Maurice." said Tracy leaning over the counter. "That was dumb of me."
"No, it's not your fault. She's really emotional when she's pregnant and..well, the past year has been hard on us."
"Maybe you should go check on her. We'll be alright."
"Yea..I guess your right. I'll be right back."
Bosco knocked on the bathroom door.
"Bos?" called out Faith in a panic
"What's wrong?" he said opening the door
"My water broke..."
