Part 13: Baby shower
Two month later;
Faith was now seven month pregnant and everybody knew about the pregnancy. Of course it was hart to overlook. But still only their boss and close friends knew that Bosco was the father. Everyone else just assumed it was Fred's because Faith never told anyone about the divorce. After all it was her private life and didn't concern them. They would be in for a big surprise when the baby was born.
They walked into the locker room. Bosco carried Faith' maternity uniform while she ate a sandwich with cheese and some hazelnut- chocolate spread on it.
"What the hell are you eating, Faith?", asked Ty wrinkling his nose.
Sully took a look at the sandwich and said "That's disgusting! How can you eat that?"
Bosco chimed in from where he was changing.
"If you don't like that you should have seen what she was eating yesterday! Chocolate ice cream, pickles and cheese.... "
"I feel for you!", Ty chuckled and slapped his shoulder.
Faith just shot them a death glare.
Roll Call Room, 11.15 p.m.
Faith was waiting for Bosco to get back to the precinct. Due to the pregnancy she did desk duty, she didn't want to endanger the child's life unnecessarily. She was bored and wished she could work on the streets but this was something she gladly did for her child.
Just as Bosco had changed back into his civvies Swersky called out for them.
"Faith? Can you come here for a moment?", he asked.
Guiding her to the dark roll call room with Bosco trailing behind, he switched the light on.
"Suprise!"
"Oh my god!", Faith exclaimed.
The whole room was decorated with balloon's and banners, everyone from the third watch was there, even from the firehouse and some from other shifts. In the middle was a table with a big cake and brightly wrapped packages on it. On the far wall was another table with drinks and snacks. Everyone was smiling at her and someone was making pictures. Swersky laid his arm around her shoulder and guided her further into the room.
"Come on, Faith! We have some gifts for you, or better for the baby! You didn't think we would let this go? This is the first time someone from the third watch is pregnant, we just had to have a baby shower...", he grinned.
Wondering how they managed to prepare all this while she sat at the front desk she turned to Bosco and looked at him accusingly.
"Hey, I had nothing to do with this! I'm just as surprised as you are! No one told me about this!", he held his hands up in defence.
"That's right, it was Kim and Alex idea....", Ty said.
"Now, come on... You have to eat some of the cake and open the presents!", Kim told her and pulled her to a chair where she could sit down.
Laughing she followed her and sat down.
"Alright, alright!"
Handing her the first package, Alex said "This one is from the all the fire- fighters in the firehouse, Jimmy choose it!"
"Thank you, so much!" she exclaimed after opening it and hugged Jimmy tightly.
It was a baby carrier and some wooden firetrucks.
"You're welcome", Jimmy answered and kissed her cheek. "It's the safest carrier you can get and the toys are childproof, nothing poisonous and nothing to choke on!"
Faith shoot Bosco a look to back of, he looked like he would strangle Jimmy any minute now for kissing her, before turning back to open the presents.
The next one was from the paramedics. It was an ear thermometer and a baby monitor set.
The 55th gave her a bobby car which looked like a little RMP and a sports stroller for when she went jogging.
Naturally Bosco loved the small RMP, with the number "55-david" engraved.
Ty and Sully had bought a high stool for them, which went perfectly with the furniture Bosco and Faith had already chosen.
The next gift was from Alex and Kim.
"Actually it's more something for you! For when you've given birth, to treat yourself ...."
"Yeah, and it's for the baby's father, too!", Alex said and winked at her.
Giving them a curious look, she slowly opened the gift. Afraid of what she might encounter.
The first part of the gift was a basket filled with bubble bath, shower gel, bath salts, colourful sponges, lotions, perfume and candles. Everything in her favourite brand, white musk. There even where some chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate kisses and some sparkling cider.
Kim and Alex made sure to think about not giving her alcohol for when she was nursing.
But what made Faith blush was the last part of their present. A pale pink, see trough baby doll with roses and matching push up bra, tong, stockings and garter belt. There were some condoms in different colours and flavours, too.
Bosco choked and coughed furiously while Faith blushed even redder.
"For the family planning", Kim and Alex giggled.
They all ate, drank and had fun until about two that night when everyone started to go home. Fait had gotten lots of diapers, pacifiers, stuffed animals and clothes. There were bears wearing the uniforms of NYPD and FDNY and someone even had given her a cute, little NYPD uniform .
It was about three a.m. when Faith and Bosco finally arrived home. Still in great mood from the party they carried the first load of presents inside. The rest could stay in the car until tomorrow, they were way to tired for unpacking everything.
Opening the front door and stepping in the hall Faith suddenly stood still.
"Oh my god!", she shouted.
