"My Last Breath" By Creed plays
Fred sits in Faith's room in the ICU with his hands clasped together, praying.
"Dear God. Please, please don't take her from me." Fred sobs as he holds his wife's cold hand. "I can't stand losing her." *~*~*~*~*
Debris continues to fall around the squad.
"Everybody okay?" Lieutenant Johnson asks
Jimmy and DK slowly stand up.
"Yeah, we're fine." Jimmy says
"Taylor, you hurt?" Walsh asks as he looks at her lying on the ground
"No, I don't think so." Taylor replies as she slowly stands and readjusts her helmet.
"Let's get to work." Lieutenant Johnson instructs as he calls for additional units on scene.

Davis is sitting in the hallway as the nurse walks out of Bosco's room.
"Are you Davis?" The nurse asks
"Yes ma'am." Davis replies
"He's asking for you." She tells him.
Davis stands up. "Thank you." He says and he slowly walks into the room. "What's up Bosco?"
"How's Faith?" Bosco asks
Davis stands silent, not totally knowing how Faith was.
"Davis, how is Faith?" Bosco asks agitated
"I. I don't know." Davis says
"What do you mean?" Bosco asks
"They took her to ICU." Davis replies, "It's touch and go."
Bosco turns his gaze toward the window.
"Bosco?" Davis asks *~*~*~*~*
Additional units start to arrive on the scene. The Squad is digging through the debris and freeing their trapped comrades.
"Doc over here!" Jimmy yells as he pulls a piece of debris off a downed firefighter.
Doc crosses the path of destruction. He bends down and checks for a pulse. He looks up to Jimmy and shakes his head. Each one of them moves on to work on rescuing other firefighters.
"I hate this" Carlos says aloud
"Yeah me too." Kim replies *~*~*~*~*
Fred sits in tears, his head down, gazing towards the floor. Suddenly an alarm sounds.
"Oh dear God no! What's happening? Please no!" Fred panics
Doctors and nurses run into the room, one of them leads Fred out. He reaches in vain towards his wife.
"Please Faith, wake up! Wake up!" Fred says as the door closes. He puts his hand on the glass and cries. *~*~*~*~*
"Why did this have to happen?" Bosco asks
"You couldn't have avoided it." Davis replies
Sully walks into the room
"Davis we gotta go." Sully says
"Okay. Take care man." Davis says as he leaves the room.
Bosco turns his head back towards the window.
"This is my fault." He tells himself. "It's all my fault." *~*~*~*~* The doctors and nurses finally get the monitors to return to steady beeps.
"Mr. Yokas." The doctor says
"Yes?" Fred asks
"Your wife is resting now. You can go back in now." The doctor says
"Doctor, what are her chances?" Fred asks
"Well, it's still too early to tell. My guess is that she'll make a full recovery, but that's just a guess nothing certain." The doctor replies
"Thank you doctor." Fred says as he walks back into the room. *~*~*~*~*
The squad returns to the house.
"Okay, so this has been the shift from hell." Taylor says
"Yeah it has." Jimmy agrees
Walsh comes down the stairs.
"You ready to go?" he asks Taylor
"You know what?" Taylor asks
"What?" Walsh replies
"I think we should go out and get a beer or two, you know, stress relief." Taylor replies
"There's three feet of snow out there." Walsh protests
"So, Hagertee's is bound to be open." Taylor replies.
"That's a great idea Taylor." DK says
"Yeah, I'm game." Jimmy replies
"Game for what?" Carlos asks
"Going out for a beer." Taylor says
"I'm there." Carlos replies
"Where?" Kim asks
"Hagertee's. You coming?" Jimmy asks
"Sure." Kim replies
"How bout you cous?" DK asks Nicole
"You know, I think I'll pass. Next time guys." Nicole says
Everyone moans at once "Oh come on Cole." DK says
"Next time." Nicole replies as she pulls her hood over her blonde hair and exits the firehouse.
"Well you guys ready?" Taylor asks
"Let's go." Jimmy replies. *~*~*~*~*
Davis is standing on the steps of the precinct when Sully walks out. Davis lets out a breath and watches the cloud from it. His hands are in his pockets.
"Cold tonight isn't it?" Davis asks
"Yeah." Sully replies
"I can't believe how this snow accumulated this fast." Davis says looking
"You alright Davis?" Sully questions
"Yeah. I'm fine." Davis replies
"Do you want to go grab a cup of coffee?" Sully asks.
"Coffee sounds good." Davis responds
The two head off down the street towards a diner. *~*~*~*~*
Bosco is in his hospital bed. He is fighting off sleep.
"This is my fault." He tells himself "Faith shouldn't be in ICU now, it's my fault."
The nurse walks in.
"You should really try to get some rest." She tells Bosco
"I will." He replies.
The nurse smiles as she takes the readings from the monitors and leaves the room. Bosco turns out the light. *~*~*~*~*
Fred sits vigilantly at Faith's bedside. He is holding her hand in his. His head is down, his eyes are closed but he's not sleeping. The monitors continue a steady beep.
Fred lifts his head. "Please Faith, wakeup. I can't do this without you."
*~*~*~*~*
"What'll it be?" The bartender asks the gang.
"Whatever's on tap." Jimmy replies
"Coming right up." The bartender responds.
Taylor and Kim venture over to the jukebox. The bar was silent before they arrived.
"Let's get some tunes rolling." Kim says
"Yeah, it's too quiet." Taylor responds
Walsh sits on his stool watching Taylor.
"You got yourself a special girl there." DK says
"Yeah." Walsh replies
"So you guys have the wedding all planned?" DK asks
"Taylor's working on it. It's still a couple months away." Walsh responds
"Yeah, you still have time." DK says.
"Yeah." Walsh replies as Taylor sits down in his lap.
"Hey good looking." She smiles *~*~*~*~*
Sully and Davis sit at a booth in the diner, each with a cup of coffee.
"It just doesn't seem like this should be." Davis says "What?" Sully asks
"You know, Bosco and Faith having the accident." Davis says, "It just."
"It bothers you doesn't it?" Sully questions
"Yeah. It bothers me a lot. I mean, I could have lost two friends today. I may still lose one." Davis says fighting back emotion.
"Hey. Faith's strong. She'll pull through this. You have to believe that." Sully says
"But what if she doesn't Sully? What is we were too late?" Davis asks
The waitress walks up.
"Can I get you two anything else?" She asks
Sully looks up. "We're good. Thanks."
The waitress smiles and lays their check on the table and walks off.
"Davis, listen to me. Faith will recover and she'll be back in that car patrolling those streets. That's how she is. She's going to fight; she's going to wake up. Now come on, let's get out of here." Sully says as he stands and puts his coat on.
Davis looks at him, puts his coat on. "Yeah, let's get out of here, it's been a long day." *~*~*~*~*

"Well guys, I'd say that it's getting late." DK says looking at his watch that says 1 AM.
"Yeah, let's get out of here." Jimmy says
"You ready?" Walsh asks Taylor
"Yeah. Good night everyone" Taylor says
Taylor and Walsh slip out into the brisk night air. *~*~*~*~*
Bosco is still awake, though the lights are out in his room. He watches out the window as the snow continues to drift down from the night sky.
"God, please let Faith be okay." Bosco says softly.
He shifts in his bed and closes his eyes. *~*~*~*~*
Faith's room is dimly light. Fred is sleeping, still holding Faith's hand. He wakes up to feel a movement.
"Hey." He says fighting back tears and kissing his wife's hand. "I love you."
Faith smiles as Fred thanks the Lord for Faith waking up. He then sits on the bed beside her and leans up against her, stroking her hair, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"I was so scared baby. I was afraid to lose you." Fred says
The scene and song fade out.
Fred sits in Faith's room in the ICU with his hands clasped together, praying.
