CHAPTER FOUR

(last chapter Bosco asked Faith to marry him)

"What?"

"What"

" What did you just say?".

"Nothing, why"

" euh no, I thought you said something"

"no" Bosco said nervous

"oh okay" she tried to smile.

Bosco was surprised with her reaction. Actually he wasn't. He was surprised with his reaction. Did he really just asked her to marry him? He knew he always wanted her in his life that part was very clear but that he could fall in love with her…Although one time before he couldn't distinguish his feelings for her, but that was a long time ago. It was that one she showed up in leather pants. That was the first time he had really checked her out and really liked what he saw. But there was always Fred but now, maybe things could change. He was definitely through with all those meaningless relationships and those stupid girls. He was ready for someone who could always challenge him. Rose knew from the very beginning that there was something between her son and Faith, far more than just partners. Fred knew that as well. That was actually one of the main reasons why he left Faith. Bosco would always come first.

He was daydreaming until Faith said: "Bosco, hey Bos I" "hmm"

"I gotta go okay? So I'll be back this evening" He nodded and she left.

Faith took a deep breath and knocked on her ex-husband's door. It was his new girlfriend Caroline that opened the door and let her in. Fred came in the room

" What were you thinking? Huh. Your lawyer telling the court and my children that I'm a cold blooded murderer?? What the hell were you thinking? Were you even thinking at all?"

"I didn't do anything wrong. You did. You killed a man and for what??? For that moron partner of you."

"Excuse me. If it wasn't for my moron partner I'd be dead. Charlie and Em wouldn't have a mother anymore. He took four bullets for me. He didn't even think, he just jumped in front of me, protecting me. That's more than.."

"More I ever done, right?? I hope it was worth it, because he lost you your son, actually not only your son but your whole family"

"Don't you put this on Bosco."

" I don't, at least not completely. It's both your fault. All you ever could think of was him, whenever something went wrong he'd be the first you'd call. When you had your abortion he was the first to know, he even knew you were pregnant before I did. What did you expect from me? That I would stick around. God you're so naïve. Just leave Faith. I have nothing more to say."

"This isn't the last of it."

Faith was shocked by Fred's words but there was a lot a truth in them. Not about what happened in court but every time she had a problem her partner was indeed the first to know. And she always ran to him no matter what. She missed so many of her children school play's, parents evening, just because she didn't want to leave him alone on patrol. Afraid that he would get himself into trouble again. She failed her sergeant's test because she was distracted by him. He's just such a big part in her life. What did Fred expect from her? That she would just leave the man that always there for her?? No, she did leave Fred numerous times for Bosco. She could understand why Fred was that angry but.. it didn't matter anymore. All that mattered now was the healing process of Bosco and her confession…
