CHAPTER TWO

2 Days passed since Bosco woke up, still today would be the first time Faith would go to see him. She wanted to give Rose some time with him alone and she needed time as well: to think of a way to tell Bosco she's pregnant with his baby. Well the pregnancy she definitely couldn't hide, with her big belly, but who the father is… She rehearsed it so many times, she even told him when he was unconscious. Now she's afraid of his reaction: what if he didn't want it, what if he's angry with her. Actually she was more afraid of the fact that maybe he wanted it. Where does it leave them. She knows she's loves him and couldn't live without him, but as a couple??? What would it do to them. She always saw him as her best friend who was there for her no matter what. Sometimes she saw him as one of her kids but never as someone more… Maybe they could may it work, who knows.

Meanwhile she reached his door and knocked quietly hoping he was asleep. But he answered and she didn't have a choice but to enter.

"Hey, How are you feeling?" He nods while she takes off her jacket. He gazes at her, closes his eyes and then looks again. "Yeah, I'm pregnant 9months. Actually I'm a week late."

He could feel she's nervous and he tries to make her feel comfortable by trying to smile at her.

"I actually wanted to apologize for not coming by more often but my lawyer said it would be better that I was at home when I wasn't working cause the court has to sent somebody by to do a home inspection unannounced. My divorce lawyer, Fred is initiating it." Bosco looks confused at her. "..does.. he know.. about." He looks at her belly. " What? The baby, no he doesn't.That's cuz.. euh well euhm.. Fred isn't the father." She looks at the ground then at him, but when he doesn't say anything she stands up." I'm sorry" and walks away. Just when she reaches the door

"F.. Faith" She turns around and walks towards him; crying.

"I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to do, I…I couldn't talk about it with no one . And you … you weren't there to talk to, then the doctor said …you'd probably never wake up and I… I was… I felt so alone. This baby… at least I would have something of you , something… someone to remember you by so that I wouldn't…. so that I'd always… I don't know" Bosco nods, Faith keeps on crying. "It's okay… come here. Come here. It's okay. "

She let her head rest on his chest. You could it was hurting him but he didn't care, all he could think about was to comfort the person he loved deeply, the mother of his unborn child. He didn't know how but they would find a way to work everything out. He sighed, stroke her hair and kissed her hair for as far it was possible, because his face was giving him troubles.

"He looked outside the window and said to him self "I'm gonna be a dad" and yes a tear escaped from his eye. All Faith could do is hold her man close so he could never leave her again.

Not longer than a week later Faith was brought in with heavy contractions, this time it was for real. Em, Sully, Davis, Swersky, Monroe and even Cruz were at the hospital waiting for the good news. It was Rose that had the pleasure of announcing a healthy grandson.

That same night Faith took her new son to introduce him to his dad.

"Hey, I didn't wake you did I?" "No… is that…is it" He couldn't help himself and he cried as Faith came closer and closer with a young boy in her arms that was actually his son. He never thought he'd had it in him to be a dad, or not yet.

"Bosco, this is Michael, Michael this is your dad" She said also with teary eyes. Bosco looked at her " Michael?" Faith nodded. "I named him after your brother. Here, you can hold him"

Bosco first made the impression he didn't really dare to hold something so precious but he couldn't resist. Holding him he said: " Thank you" The only thing faith could do was to smile at him and sit down next to Bosco who made room for here earlier. Bosco gave Michael back because his arms aren't that strong yet and he was afraid to hurt his son. So with Faith against him, he puts his arm around her and his other holding little Michael Boscorelli's hand.

"We'll… we'll work this out. I promise" Bosco said confident.
