I didn't even know that Faith had come back... I was so tired after last
night that I just passed right out cold again.. I feel the soft caress of
her lips over mine and I instinctively turn my head to her and kiss her
back...
"Now that is a way to be woken up!"
"Bosco.... I have something to tell you"
I sit up in bed and look her straight in the eye.. I always know what she is feeling by looking at her in the eyes... with the bond we have it is almost impossible to not to notice if there is something that she has on her mind... For the first time since I met her.. I don't know how she is feeling.. it seems to me that she has mixed emotions... she wants to tell me something but she is searching for the words to tell me... good god I hope that this isn't something bad... please god don't let this be bad news.... Even if it is I will be there for her no matter what.
"Just come out and say it Baby... don't worry words don't matter"
She says nothing... instead she reaches into her pocket and pulls out what seems to be two white sticks.. they almost look like popsicle sticks but they have a wide base... she looks at them, sighs and hands them to me... I take them from her and look at them... they are just plain white sticks with two blue lines on each of them...
I suddenly know what she is trying to say... Oh my god... is what I am holding what I think I am holding... I look at Faith with a puzzled look on my face... she is grinning from ear to ear... the last time I saw her smile like this is when I married her...
"Faith is this what I think.....?"
"Maurice Boscorelli..... you are going to be a daddy..."
I just sit there for a moment and let the words sink in.... she just said I was going to be a daddy... the one thing that I have wanted more than anything else.. Faith was pregnant... I look up at her...
"Faith did you just say I was going to be a daddy?"
She enthusiastically nods her head and I see a tear escape her eye and roll down her cheek...
"I am going to have your baby.. our baby...Boz please tell me that you are happy about this... please tell me that you want this child"
I don't say anything I just reach for her hand and pull her down to me and I look her right in the eyes and I kiss her deeply and rock her back and forth on the bed...
"Faith I cant think of anyone else who I would want having my baby... I thought you made me the happiest man on the face of the planet when you married me.. Faith I love you soo much... and now you are pregnant!! You are going to make me a daddy!!!! Faith there is no gift more precious that you could ever give me! I am ecstatic! Faith! Of course I want this child!!! This will be my first born child!! When did you find out?
"This morning.. I just took the test when I put the pieces together after I was sick this morning..."
"My god I am going to be a Daddy....."
She looks at me with a look of pure relief all over her face... in her eyes I see the love that she has always had there for me.. if it is possible I think that it is more prominent when I look into her eyes now... I love this woman soo much.. I would go to the ends of the earth for her.. I would die for her... and now she is carrying my baby... our baby... when I married her I took Emily and Charlie under my wing and I have tried to be a good step-dad to them... I looked at the situation as having a ready made family.. and now Faith tells me that I am going to have one of my own... I am still in a state of total bliss... I feel all warm inside knowing that our child is growing in Faith's womb... she lays her head on the pillow and I place mine over her stomach and we lay like that until it is time to go to work...
"Boz, I just want to tell Lieu and that's it for now.. I want to wait until I start showing until we tell everyone that I am expecting..."
"Anything you want Faith.. you are the one who is carrying my child.."
We head out the door and Faith tosses the keys to the truck... I still have my mustang but the weather looks like it is turning nasty.. it might rain later tonight so it is a good idea to take the truck.. We head into the house and get changed.. roll call is the same as it always is... this time we have to look out for the Jag-offs who decided to try and rob a Compubank last week.. they are still at large and I figure that with all the publicity that they have been getting on this attempted heist they are far, far away from here... so I look at Faith she is trying not to fall asleep in the back...
"Allright guys be smart be safe out there... we don't need any heroes.. just you coming home safe"
We get up and corner Swersky after he is done talking to that Sergeant from Narcotics..
"Lieu got a minute?..... in private?"
"Yeah sure guys" We follow him into the empty room next to the one that we hold roll in.. "So what's up guys?"
Faith looks at me and I nod.. she takes a deep breath and smiles.. I love to see her so happy but then again I am sure that I am grinning like a total moron because Swersky looks at us funny..
"All right guys what is the big joke about?"
"No Joke Lieu... I'm Pregnant..."
Swersky gets a funny look across his face and then he goes and hugs Faith.. and then he shakes my hand "Well I'll be damned.., Congratulations Boscorelli! Oops Boscorelli's"
I laugh and smile at Faith... she is looking beautiful.. even in uniform she looks great... I heard somewhere that when you are pregnant you start to "Glow" and that you change.. well Faith is defiantly glowing and she DEFINATLY changed.. she looks more alive... when she isn't ready to fall asleep... but in her uniform I find myself trying to keep control... she looks soo damn sexy in it now... I have seen her everyday for the past 14 years that we have been working together and I never thought different of her being in uniform so I guess this is a good change...
"So do you want to stay on patrol Faith or do you want to take a position at a desk..."
"Lieu if it is all right with you I want to stay on the beat... you are the only one who knows here and I.... we would like to keep it that way..."
"You got it guys.. now get out there and congratulations again"
I grin at Swersky "Thanks Lieu"
"You get the radios and I'll get the car?" Faith looks at me and smiles
"Absolutely!" and with a turn of her head she is off to get the radios... she knows what radios to get and I know what RMP not to sign out.. so I go and get the car and wait for her by the door..
"So what do you want Boz... a Boy or a Girl?"
"Faith as long as it has 10 fingers and 10 toes along with a healthy set of lungs I don't care what I get... as long as you are having it"
The look she gives me is enough to make me thank god I was sitting down because I would have fallen over;... she always manages to turn me to jello with just one of her looks.. especially when she is mad... that look is enough to go and make me run for cover somewhere...
"Well I like Gawen... or maybe Edward...."
"Faith I am not naming my kid after an RMP!"
"Allright allright... how about Sean?...... and for a Girl... Wynter.. or maybe Sianna... Molly is nice... or maybe Morgaine?"
I listen to her rattle off names.. just for the hell of it I pull into the Barnes and Noble and she runs in and grabs a book of baby names and their meanings.. that kept us busy for the rest of the tour because there were almost no calls at all...
"Bosco when do you want to tell the kids?"
I haven't thought about that... how are they going to react? Charlie I have a feeling will be happy about it because he won't be the youngest anymore but I am not so sure about Em... well she is leaving for school pretty soon so I think that she will be happy that she has a new brother or sister on the way... but still I don't know what to expect from that girl.. she has grown up a lot since she and Faith went to see that counselor after the unfortunate drug incident... she hasn't had many fights with her.. but I still don't want to be around the house when she and Faith fight... I prefer to steer clear of that... because I usually end up breaking it up and playing the peacekeeper...
"How about tomorrow... right after the shift... that will give us time to think on how we are going to break the news to them.."
"Sounds like a good idea to me... Em just got her University acceptance.. she decided to go to that school in Canada... what was it again... oh yeh University of Toronto..."
Before I knew it the tour was over.. Faith and I pulled back into the house and changed into our civvies. Ty and Sasha came over to us and Sasha had a wide grin on her face....
"Faith I had to tell you... Ty proposed to me!!! We're getting married!!! Will you be one of my bridesmaids?"
Faith looks at me and then looks at Sasha and smiles back at her and nods her head... I just hope that they don't make the wedding too close to the due date or she is going to be pissed that she will have to get a dress that she wont be able to wear again... well not unless she is pregnant.. I cant help but laugh at the thought...Ty asks me to be a Groomsman and I agree... he made Sully his best man so that would work well... I couldn't think of a better guy for the job....
We left the house and headed home... Faith falls asleep with her head against the window as I drive... she looks so peaceful sleeping like that I don't want to wake her up... so when we get home I park the truck and carry her into the house and up to bed where I strip and crawl into bed beside her... I hear her deep breathing as she sleeps and I wrap my arms around her waist, letting my hands rest on her stomach to where our baby grows
"Now that is a way to be woken up!"
"Bosco.... I have something to tell you"
I sit up in bed and look her straight in the eye.. I always know what she is feeling by looking at her in the eyes... with the bond we have it is almost impossible to not to notice if there is something that she has on her mind...
