Part V: Telling the kids
Next Morning;
It was school break and the kids had stayed the last few weeks with their dad. Charlie had called frequently but Emily was still not speaking with her mom when she didn't absolutely had to. The news wouldn't make things better between them. It was hard enough to hide the morning sickness from the kids, Emily would surely have suspected something. Bosco hadn't stayed over much while the kids where still here but when he did he hide in the bedroom until the kids went to school.
The kids were now due back and Faith had to tell them finally what happened. They couldn't hide Bosco forever, he lived here now and that wouldn't change anytime soon. Emily would just have to live with that. Even if the two of them decided not to pursue a romantic relationship he would still be around his daughter.
They sat on the sofa looking through a magazine with baby furniture as Emily and Charlie walked in.
"Hi, Mom, Uncle Bosco!", Charlie screamed exited as he ran over to give them both a hug and started telling them about his time with Fred.
Emily wasn't as exited as her brother, she just murmured "Hi" and was on her way to her bedroom.
"Em, come here please. We need to talk to you", said Faith Charlie had calmed down a bit.
Sitting down and searching for word, she just came out right away.
"I don't know how to say that. So I'm just saying right away. Emily, Charlie, I'm pregnant!"
"I get a little brother or sister?", asked Charlie exited. Bosco smiled at him and nodded.
"Yeah, in about 5 month"
Emily just stared at them.
"What? Is it Boscos?"
They nodded and Charlie ran over to Bosco.
"So, then you are my stepdad for real?"
"If that's okay with you, Chuck..."
"Cool! Then we can go to the park...", it didn't bother Charlie at all. He loved Bosco since he was a baby.
"Than dad was right! You were having an affair with Bosco all the time and now you start a new family! How could you do that? I hate you! And it's all Boscos fault, he uses you and when he gets tired of you he'll left you! And you left dad for him!", Emily was angry and made her way to the door.
"I'm going over to Michael's house, don't expect me back... But I'm sure you won't even realise I'm not there you're gonna be busy with Bosco!"
"Emily!", Bosco tried.
"Don't Bosco! That's enough, I'm tired of her attitude.", Faith laid a hand on his arm before turning towards Emily.
"Emily Amanda Yokas! You stop right there!", Faith voice sounded dangerous. "I don't know where do you think you're going"
"Michael is my new boyfriend, Dad met him all ready and thinks he is nice!"
"I don't care what your dad thinks. You live with my and I decide with whom you can go out and you are not going out of here without my permission, do I make myself clear? Your behaviour ends right now, from now on you'll live after my rules and not your own. First, you'll apologise to Bosco then you go to your room and unpack. For the rest of the day you'll stay in your room, no tv, no telephone. You will be home directly after school and the next time you want to go out you'll ask me first, I'll met the person and than decide if you are allowed to go. From now on you'll be on time everyday and don't even think about disobeying. If I find out you did not as you were told I'm gonna make your life a living hell and believe me I have my ways to know what you did. Don't forget I'm a cop!"
Everyone stared at Faith. Bosco know that something like that was long overdue but he didn't think that she would actual punish Emily for her behaviour since the divorce. It seemed like the hormones made an appearance all ready and he wouldn't complain. Just remembering to be careful around her for the next few month.
Emily just turned around and did like she was told, she realised that she had no chances against her mother.
After closed the door to her bedroom with a slam Charlie turned towards Bosco.
"Is she right? Don't you want us anymore after you had another baby?", he asked with big teary eyes.
"No, Charlie! Your mom and me love you guys very much. After your Mom and Dad realised that they couldn't live with each other anymore I fell in love with your mom. We're gonna have another child that we love as much as you and Emily. And me being here doesn't mean your dad doesn't love you anymore or that you can't see him anymore. It's like having two dads..."
Faith smiled at this and wiped a few tears away. She came over to them and pulled them into her arms.
"I love you both!"
