Part 6. "This is central control, all units please respond to housefire on N Bleaker" "Central control this is 55David, we are on our way" said Faith nudging a drowsy and quietly snoring Bosco. "Maurice, hey Baby, we got a shout, wake up." Bosco jumped and Faith started the engine. When they arrived it was still unclear what was going on, a woman was cradling a crying baby on the sidewalk, 55Charlie had handcuffed a suspect to a metal fence and were questioning a young woman covered in blood. The top floor of the building was alight and fire fighters were heading inside. Faith headed over to see Ty and Sully. It appeared that the man and woman being questioned had broken in and stabbed a man on the top floor. The woman and child had escaped. No one knew how the fire had started and whether the man was alive or dead. As Faith moved over towards the woman she fell to her knees and cried out in pain. Kim and Doc rushed towards her and took the baby. Doc started work on the woman who had now stopped breathing and Kim held the crying baby. "Kim, I'm gonna need your help here" Doc shouted loudly. Kim looked around and deposited the baby in Faith's arms.

The fire was out, the stabbed man was stable and in hospital, the child's mother had died on the way to Mercy and the only people left on the scene were Doc, Faith and Bosco. Faith was still cradling the baby as it wailed and Bosco had had more than he could take. "Give her here" he said. "You sure?" said Doc. Bosco nodded and Faith handed the baby over to him "mind her head" she said. Bosco smoothed the blanket from the girl's face and touched her cheek gently. The baby stopped crying and Bosco became hooked on her big brown eyes. "Wow" said Faith "she's stopped crying" "Hey Boscorelli, we need to get her to the hospital" said Doc reaching out for the baby. "I'll ride with you" he said and directed "meet us at Mercy" to Faith. She kissed him on the head and got into the RMP as Bosco climbed aboard the bus still cradling the girl close to his chest.

Bosco leant against the glass impatiently tapping his foot. He cupped his hand around the top of his head and leaned close. Through the glass he could see a doctor and nurse checking over the girl. The nurse crooked her finger at Bosco and he walked quickly to the door, he passed the doctor as he entered. "She alright?" he said. "Yep absolutely fine, we're going to take her up to see her father in a minute" "Well I guess I had better say goodbye" Bosco said sadly. The nurse left and Bosco gently picked the girl up careful to protect her head. He reached down and kissed the tip of the baby's nose. From behind him he heard a giggle and then hands were around his waist, Faith leaned in her head and gave him a sultry, spine tingling kiss on his neck. "Hey Daddy, how ya doing?" she joked. "He placed the baby down and waved goodbye as he walked away. "You were good with her, you know that?" said Faith. "When I looked in her eyes, I couldn't look away. She had me hooked. God what is happenin' to me?" Bosco sank in to a seat and rested his head on his hands. "I hate children, you've seen how I am with Emily and Charlie but her, tonight, her little nose, her rosy cheeks, man, she's better than drugs" Bosco said excitedly. "You're brilliant with Charlie and Emily. Bos, you don't hate kids you just haven't had much experience" "I want one of those" he said getting up and looking back in the direction of the baby's room nodding his head. "Lets go home and talk about this, we could even get some practising in" said Faith with a dirty grin. "You drive me mad" said Bosco grinning. "Ah but you love me" replied Faith. "That I do" he said grabbing her hand and entwining their fingers together.
