Part IV: Telling ...
1.30 p.m. Locker Room
Faith and Bosco had told Swersky that she was pregnant. They thought it would be better not to tell that Bosco was the father when they weren't directly asked. But they wouldn't lie!
Swersky didn't ask, he just assumed Bosco accompanied Faith because she was his partner and her pregnancy affected them both.
After congratulating her they decided she would work at a desk as soon as possible. The next few days she would stay with Bosco on 55 David until they found a temporary replacement for her. That wasn't normal procedure but Swersky knew that Bosco would protect Faith and her child, he didn't want to be one of the perps that did as much as looking at Faith the wrong way. And it would be difficult to find someone to work with Bosco anyway. Faith was the only one who wanted to work with him and came always back to him after they fought like crazy, which was a regular occurrence. He didn't know how Faith could work his him, but she did it for the last 8 years. Suprisingly she could keep him in check, they balanced each other out perfectly. And every one was affected when the two of them had problems, Bosco was always in the worst mood when the fought and Faith transforms to a little fury.
They had only to wait a few minutes before Sully and Davis arrived.
"Hi! You two are early and why aren't you changed? Something wrong?", Ty asked.
"Not really! Faith just wants to tell you guys something"
As Sully and Davis turned around to look at her, she just stood up and pulled her shirt over her head. It was nothing the two of them hadn't seen all ready, she changed in front of them every day at least once. The last few weeks, since she started to show, she had been careful not to let anyone see her changing.
Ty and Sully looked a little shocked at her stripping before them but soon realised what she wanted to show them. Here belly was rounded, not much but it was clearly visible.
"Wow! Are you...?", Ty said.
She nodded and smiled at him.
"Congratulations!", they said in unison.
"Thank you guys!"
"Does Fred know?", asked Sully.
She shook her head, not really understanding why he asked.
"That must be hart, being pregnant and divorced..."
She looked stunned at him. He thought Fred was the father? It seem that Sully had problems doing the math or he just didn't expect her to have another boyfriend so soon after the divorce and let her self get pregnant. But this mistake was her own fault, she hadn't really told anyone about the divorce apart from Bosco until much later. After Ty noticed the absence of her ring she had to tell them.
She wanted to tell him the truth, she didn't want to keep Bosco a secret. She didn't regret having his child. But he winked at her, he wanted to have a little fun with them.
After Roll Call;
"Why didn't you let me tell them that it isn't Fred's?"
"It's gonna be fun to see their faces when they see our little girl and realised she is mine! Apart from that, we aren't sure what to do about work and didn't even tell Swersky that she is mine. I don't want them do accidentally tell it to anyone. But if you want to tell them, go ahead."
"No, its okay. Makes kind of sense. I was just worried you would think I'm embarrassed by having your child or something like that!"
"No! I know that you aren't and if you were I don't think you would carry it to term!", he assured her.
"You want to got tell my mom, after work tonight?"
"Sure, why not. It's only fair to tell her, Sully and Ty know all ready. The kids will be back tomorrow morning, than we can tell them, too"
11.26 P.M. Rose' Bar;
Bosco and Faith headed over to the bar where Rose worked after their shift. They would grab a bite to eat there.
Arriving at the Bar Rose was busy but waved to them and told them she would see them as soon as she could. They sat down in a corner booth and ordered cheeseburgers, fries and onion rings. While eating they debated on how to tell Boscos mom the news.
They had just finished eating as Rose came over. Bosco stood up to kiss her cheek and then Faith stood up to give her a hug.
"Faith? Are you...? ", asked rose as soon as she made contact with Faith.
Pushing her back slightly she looked her up and down.
"You're pregnant!!" After hesitating a moment she added "But I thought you and Fred are divorced for more than six month and you are about 4 month along, right?" She was the first one to see the truth. A look in Boscos face let her suspect that her son had something more to do with this than being a helpful friend to her.
"Want to tell me what's up?", she asked.
Faith nodded at Bosco encouragingly.
"It's mine!", he finally admitted.
Rose smiled and drew them both into her arms and hugged them tight.
"I'm gonna be a grandmother! When is it due? What is it? Where are you gonna live? Did Maurice propose to you?"
Rose was surprised but very happy. She had always suspected that there was more between Maurice and his partner by the way the talked to each other and about each other. She liked Faith from the moment she met her years ago at the police academy. She had known that the first woman who her son saw as more than a one night stand would be the one who would eventually show him real love. And she did, over the years they became the best of friends, going through good and bad together. Their partnership was like a marriage but after the divorce she hoped that they both would realise that they belonged together. But she hadn't expect that they would realise this so soon or that it would end with Faith being pregnant six month after her divorce. That was really fast! She was sure that there was never anything between them while Faith was still married. Maurice was a lot of things but having something with a married woman was not something he would do, the same went for cheating on someone.
"Hey, mom! Slow down!", Bosco and Faith couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm.
"Yes, you're gonna be a grandmother! It's a girl and she is due in about five month, right now we stay at Faith apartment. I didn't propose to her because she doesn't even know of she wants someone like me. But when she knows what she wants we'll talk about it again"
Rose wanted to asked what he meant with that but she saw Faith' face, her jaw nearly hit the floor and she looked completely surprised. She would have to talk to her.
"Faith, why don't you come over sometime and we do some girl stuff? Perhaps grabbing a bite to eat and then looking at some baby stuff?"
"I'd love that!", Faith smiled. She and her parents weren't very close, so she jumped at he chance to have someone to talk to.
