Part 18.
Faith shut the front door of their new house and sighed. She walked into
the lounge bumping into a piece of furniture and falling into the wall.
Bosco rushed out scooping his wife up and placing her on the sofa which was
still in the hallway. "You ok?" he asked his voice full of concern.
"Fine, honey, really" replied Faith rolling over and leaning into the
couch's soft cushions.
"I love you" he said. There was no reply, Faith was fast asleep. Bosco
kissed her on the forehead and started to put the few bits of furniture and
all their things in the right place.
When Faith woke it was dark. "Bosco" she called getting up. She was in the lounge on the couch. She was sure she was in the hallway when she fell asleep. She looked around and all the furniture, ornaments and books were all unpacked. She went into the kitchen; all the utensils had been put away. She headed upstairs and entered the master bedroom. Bosco had changed the sheets and hung the picture over their bed. She went to the next room and went in. Bosco grunted as he shoved a cot into place. "This is beautiful" said Faith making Bos jump. "You like?" he said turning to face her and beginning to walk towards her. "I love it, so will baby" she said, placing Bosco's hand on her stomach. "Will you be there for the scan tomorrow?" she asked. "Of course. Are we finding out the sex?" he asked. "I will if you will" said Faith laughing. "Settled then" said Bosco sitting in the rocking chair. "I can't believe how fabulous this is, do you like it bubba?" said Faith talking to her bump. "Oww" said Faith grabbing hold of Bosco's shoulder. "You alright?" said Bosco in a panicked voice. "Baby kicked" said Faith through gritted teeth. She recovered and sat on Bosco's lap. She grimaced again then laughed. "Here, feel" she said guiding Bosco's hands to the spot. The baby kicked again and Faith giggled. Bosco took a deep breath. "Are you alright?" said Faith. "A little overwhelmed" whispered Bosco. Faith turned her body round to the left so she could see his face. She took his hand and kissed his wedding ring, using the other hand to wipe away his tears. "I love you" she said "and our baby loves you too" she said. "Thank you" said Bosco "I am so lucky".

Bosco pulled up in the squad car and jumped out. He ran through the automatic sliding doors and waited impatiently for a lift. H e barged through a crowd of people and knocked on a door. He opened it and walked in; taking Faith's hand he sat down. "Sorry...I'm...late" he said between deep breaths. "Just in time" said the nurse covering Faith's stomach in cold gel and moving the scanner into position. A black and white cloudy image came onto the screen. The nurse looked closely at the screen taking mental measurements. She was silent for a minute as she counted in her head. "Is every thing Ok" said Bosco in a worried voice. "Fine, Mr Boscorelli. I was just doing some measurements. The baby is a prefect size and weight for six months" "Good" said Bosco smiling. Faith reached out and touched the screen, looking at the nurse she said "is it a boy or a girl?" "You want to know?" she said looking at Bosco for confirmation. He nodded his head. "It's a girl" said the nurse "a healthy, happy baby girl". Faith squeezed Bosco's hand and turned to him. She was crying. He sat on the edge of the bed and reached down to give her a hug. "A girl" they both said laughing.
