-PREVIOUSLY-

"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
--
"I'll..uh..be right back." she said drying her hands on her apron and walking up the stairs.
--
"Bos?" called out Faith in a panic
"What's wrong?" he said opening the door
"My water broke..." **
~*~*~*~*~
"MATT!" called out Bosco "MATT, TRACY COME HERE NOW!"
The rushed up the stairs and Emily opened her bedroom door and her and Danielle peered into the hallway.
"Can you take the kids to the hospital in your car, I gotta get Faith there. Her water broke!"
"Go, Go , Go!" he said, helping Bosco lift Faith up from the chair she was in.
"Too early..." Faith m umbled
"No you'll be fine Faith..."
He began down the stairs, supporting his wife.
"Emily, grab the bag and help your Uncle Matthew!"
Bosco drove off while Matt, Tracy, Danielle, Emily, Sam, Alyssa and Noelle stood in their front yard watching him speed away.
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco stood by Faith's side, gripping her hand as she pushed. Two pushes later and Andrew Michael was brought into the world, and 5 minutes later his brother Anthony Maurice was born. They were identical in every way, including length and weight. Faith held both of her sons in her arms as Bosco ran his hand threw her hair and kissed her forehead. Within the next few hours, they had a slew of visitors and gifts brought in for the babies. Things began to look up for Bosco and Faith, and for the first time in a while, they were perfectly happy.
~*~*~*~*~
"Bosco, do you have Anthony dressed?"
"Almost..." he said snapping the babies onesy and tossing him up in the air, causing him to laugh. He grinned at his son and carried him to his and Faith's bedroom where she was dressing Andrew. He lay Anthony down next to his brother and watched the babies squirm around.
"I can't believe we have to go to work today..." Faith groaned, pulling out her tee shirt and jeans.
"It sucks, I know. My mom will be here in a few minutes..."
"Alright. I just don't wanna leave my babies.." she said in a sad tone, looking at Bosco who had both of the babies in his arms. He just looked at her and sat them back on the bed, handing them each a toy.
~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell do you want?" asked Bosco as Cruz strolled into his office
"Hello to you too."
"Save the pleasentries, Cruz. What do you want?"
"You gotta hot investigation involving some X...we want in."
"We're workin' with the only people we gotta work with."
"Narcotics will willingly hand over the case to Anti-Crime."
"Well, I won't. If that's all-"
"Boscorelli, you're missing the point. We're workin' a joint case now. Deal with it. You and I are the leads from both ends which means we'll be ridin' together for every break this case catches."
"Like hell I'm ridin' with you."
"What's your deal, Bosco? You boxers still up your ass cuz I shot that bitch."
Bosco became very angry and stood up, his chair tumbling to the ground.
"That 'bitch' happens to be my wife and yea, I'm still pretty damn pissed about it."
"Get over it."
"It'll be a cold day in hell before I work with you, Cruz."
"Huh..you know, I was actually surprised to hear you hooked up wit Yokas...Personally, I thought you could do better."
"Number one, her last name is Boscorelli and number two, she's it. She's the best damn thing that ever happened to me and you know-wait! Why in the hell am I explaining myself to you? Huh? Point is, I'd rather go back to patrol than ride with you."
"Fine. I'll talk to Swersky about having you removed from the unit." she walked out of the room and Bosco began to see red. He slammed his fist into a wall and knocked the slew of papers on his desk to the ground.
"Bos?" asked Faith standing at the door. She heard Cruz talk to Swersky about Bosco being insubordanite and she wanted him out on patrol.
"Bosco..." she said walking over to him. She shut the door to his office and he slid down the wall and sunk against the wall. She knelt next to him and stroked the hair on his head.
"She wants me to work with her."
"OK..."
"You aren't worried about that at all?"
"Bosco..I knew that when you moved up here, you'd eventually have to work with her..."
"I hate myself around her. I change..I don't even know who I am around her and it...it scares me."
Faith wrapped her arms around her husband and they sat like that for a few minutes more.
~*~*~*~*~
Bosco lay in bed...he'd had a long day of working with Cruz, against his will, and was ready to sleep...but something wouldn't let him. Faith lay snoring softly next to him. He looked at her scar...it wasn't noticable to anyone who hadn't noticed it before. It was long though, jagged. He traced a gentle finger down the path of the scar and he sniffed back tears.
"It's not your fault, ya know?" said Faith, keeping her eyes closed
"Yea it is."
"Bosco, you asked for my help and I helped you. I had to."
"The whole point is, I shouldn't have asked you for help. I got you in the middle of all my shit and now..."
"I'm laying beside you in bed. We have two 9 week old sons, a 3 year old daughter and a 17 year old. Bosco.."
"If it wasn't for that night you'd still be with Fred and you'd still have everything."
"When I was with Fred, I was unhappy! I hated my life with him, but with you, I have happiness. I have a husband who supports me and my daughter, I have a new daughter and two baby boys. If that night hadn't have happened then the best part of my life may never have happened."
"I love you Faith..you have to know that."
"I know, and I love you too."
