Three Months Later
"Faith... it looks like you are putting on a little weight there..."
Sully teases me in the locker room as I pull my uniform pants.. they are getting tight but then again I am also starting to show.. I cant hide this for much longer.. Bosco and I decided not to tell anyone until I started to show... I am 3 months pregnant after all.. I expected this because I started showing when I was around 3 months with both Em and Charlie..
I laugh off Sully's remark.. I look at Bosco.. he is grinning from ear to ear.. he is still overjoyed that we are going to add another to the family.. especially that I am carrying his first born child... we had our first pre-natal check-up and ultrasound today, when the Doctor was checking out the baby on the screen Bosco sat there with the most bewildered look on his face.. like he still cant believe it.. it was a look of awe and wonderment, the emotions mixed together on his face made me smile and feel all warm inside.
Sasha comes up to me and looks at my protruding belly she knows.. but she isn't saying anything.. but she knows that I am expecting.. I go over to Bosco and adjust his shield on his uniform.. he can never get it straight anyhow..
"I think that its time to tell them Boz... they are starting to figure it out.."
"Faith whenever you want to tell them.. that's allright with me.. you were the one who didn't want to tell anyone. I just went along with it.."
I laugh and we walk out of the change room into Roll, for once we are early.. this doesn't happen too often but there is a reason today.. I walk up to Swersky and ask him if I could make the announcement that I was expecting during roll.. he nods his head and tells me that he will let me have the floor after assigning units. I take my seat at the back of the room right beside Bosco as everyone starts filing in.
"All right you guys yesterday there was another string of robberies that went spanning though our precinct.. we gotta keep our eyes out for anything suspicious, we have witnesses who gave a composite sketch to one of our artists be sure you take this handout with you on your tour... you all know your assignments before you get out there David has an announcement to make to the watch.. remember guys eyes and ears out there! David..."
I take a deep breath and stand up.. Bosco stands beside me and takes my hand.. I have to tell them.. I can't keep this a secret for much longer..
"As some of you might have noticed in the past few weeks.. I have been putting on a little weight.." I look at Sully and he looks down, trying not to grin., "well there is a reason for that.. Bosco and I are expecting a baby.. I am due in late March"
I feel Bosco squeeze my hand in support as we sit down. Around me the room erupts into a chorus of applause and cheers. I smile softly to myself and rest my hands over my growing belly.
"I knew it!!! I knew you were pregnant!" Sasha comes up to me and hugs me as Ty shakes Bosco's hand and Sully slaps him on the back.. typical men.. congratulatin' him on a job well done.. it takes two to make a baby... but hell I don't care..
"I guess it is a good thing that Ty and I decided to make the Wedding for June then... if you are going to be one of my bridesmaids then I don't think that you are going to want to be one when you are pregnant..."
I had to laugh at her comment.. I didn't give it much thought but then as soon as she said it I had visions of walking down the isle in a bridesmaid's dress when I was heavily pregnant.. great that was all I needed.. I knew I was gonna get big.. I was big with my other two pregnancies why should this one be any different...
Bosco goes to get the car with Ty and I go to get the radios.. I wonder how long it is going to be before I am placed on desk duty.. I hate desk duty.. I hate it with a passion.. I would much rather be on the street that way I can still be with Bosco and I am out of the house.. I don't like being in one place for too long.. I feel caged in after a while.. I need a change of scenery and patrol is the perfect opportunity to do that.. I think that's a tiny part of why I love my job so much..
Bosco meets me at the door and wraps his arm around me as I hand him his radio. I climb into the RMP and were off.
"So where do you wanna start today?"
Bosco looks at me and shrugs his shoulders.. "I don't care really.. where do you wanna start?"
I look at him and smile Hooker patrol seems like a safe idea.. and one where I wont have to get out of the car...Bosco looks at me and laughs as I mention the idea and then add my reasoning for it.
We spend most of the shift cracking down on the hookers.. I don't wanna but I know that Christopher is gonna crack down on us sometime about this so we had better do it now.. For most of the shift Bosco and I talked about where to put the baby, we were going to use Em's old room.. she went away to Canada to study so we have the extra room and we built out the basement so she could move down there when she came home to stay.
"Do you wanna know what were having Boz?"
"I wanna have it as a surprise.. that's all part of the fun right?"
I laughed.. I remember when I was pregnant with both Em and Charlie Fred didn't want to know either... its been three years since he died... and I still feel a twinge of pain now and then when I think about him.. but it doesn't last long now that I have Bosco as my husband.. Bosco has seen me though many tough times.. we are partners in every way imaginable now... he is my best friend and confidant, a good step-father to my kids and now I am carrying his child.. the look on his face when he saw the outline of the baby was one of wonderment, the doctor gave him a picture of the ultrasound and he put it in his cap, right beside the one that we had taken on our honeymoon.
"Then I guess were gonna have to go with neutral colors until then right?"
Bosco laughed at me and smiled "Honey you can paint that room whatever color you want to as long as it isn't teal"
"Hey I liked that color!" I said back to him while smacking him playfully in the arm.. remembering the color that we had painted the walls in my bedroom the day after he had told me that he loved me..
I sigh and rest my hands on my growing belly again.. it is going to be time soon to ask for a maternity uniform... I didn't have mine from the last time when I was pregnant with Charlie.. I think I sold it.. I thought I was done with having kids...I guess I was wrong... I am going to have to stop off and see Moe for a new uniform..
"55- David respond to a break-in 153 east 29th"
"55-David responding 153 east 29th" Bosco reaches forward and flips on the lights and I flip on the siren and were off.
We get to the building and we see the door still open, I draw my gun and head into the doorway with Bosco right behind me.. he is trying to motion me behind him.. he wants to go first... I step back behind him as I check a doorway... Bosco and I are announcing our presence loud and clear as we check though the house.. I hear the creak of a floorboard in the next room.. Bosco hears to too, we swing around and I check to the left as Bosco checks to the right.. nothing.. and then I heard another squeak behind me and my world went dark.....
