Part VI: The Talk

Next day; Rose' home; 12.13 P.M.

Faith and Rose met at rose home for lunch, afterwards Faith would go straight to work. Bosco became even more overprotective since he found out about the baby and got worried when she was even five minutes late.

"Faith! Come in, I made us some lasagne...", Rose said after she opened the door and ushered Faith inside.

Sitting down at the kitchen table they started to eat.

"That's really good, Rose! I had a graving for lasagne all week!"

"I had gravings for all kind of noodles when I was pregnant with Maurice, too! So, tell me how are you!"

"I'm good. I finally told my gets that I'm pregnant and it went more or less well. Bosco has been really great, he is very exited and doesn't miss anything. Neither doctors appointments nor my morning sickness. I had to keep him from buying things for the baby two days after we found out. I never would have guessed that he would be that happy about a one night stand being pregnant"

"One night stand?"

"We had to pose as a married couple a few month back and one day it just happened!"

"And he told you he regretted it?"

"No! He said he loved me!"

"And than what is the problem? I don't get it... You're in love with each other and a child is on the way...."

"I don't know. I'm just scared that he will cheat on me like Fred did. Or that he will realise that I'm not some beautiful girl he picked up somewhere but his divorced partner. What if it doesn't work out? How can we be friends and partner after that?!"

"Faith, you're expecting his child! Everything changed all ready. And he loves you! He did from the day he met you and just didn't realise. I know my son, he won't mess this up. I have never seen him more happy! You should give him a chance, if not for yourself then for your daughter. .... He is there for you and lives with you on a platonic base. You know him for him is that the most evidence of his love he is capable of. He went without sex for four month and doesn't get an itch. If he didn't find another woman by now he isn't interested, Honey! I know my son, he loves you so much... And I can see the love in his eyes everytime he talks about you!" "Oh Rose!"

Rose took Faith in her arms and the two woman sat down on the couch and hugged.

4.58 P.M. Streets of New York; 55 David;

"So, how was lunch with my mom?"

"Great! We talked and she made me realise some things"

"Like what?"

"Like that I love you and you love me. And that won't change no matter how hart I try do protect myself from getting hurt. I know you won't ever cheat on me or hurt me. You live with me and can't imagine you not being there. It would hurt so much when you move out and I don't want that. I just... I don't want to lose you and I think we dated long enough, I mean I'm expecting your child!"

"Does that mean we can tell everyone who asked that we are a couple? That irresponsible Boscorelli didn't knock up his partner but the woman he loves?"

"Yeah,... ", she smiled at his tone of voice.

"Faith?", he asked a few minutes later.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of getting a house together?"

"What?", she must imagine things.

"You said you couldn't imagine living on your own again. And the apartment you are now in is too small for when the baby is there. Together we could afford a house, there the kids would have a garden to play in and their own rooms. I talked to my cousin a few days back and he has a great house we could have and we would get the family price...."

"You want to live with me..."

"I already do! Come on, just look at it and then you can say yes...Believe me, you'll love it."

"Okay...."

"Really?", Bosco asked astonished.

"Really!"

Meanwhile;

Martin Roberts had found a way to hack himself in the P.D's computer system. He had searched for a female cop named Boscorelli, there weren't any. Not knowing what her name was he decided to look through the pictures. He searched only for woman under 39 but still there were lots of cops fitting that description. Patiently he looked at picture after picture. He still had a few hundreds to look at. But he had all the time in the world. He was just happy to have found a way to locate her. Now it was just a matter of time.
