"So, what are you doin' tomorrow?" Bosco asked Faith as they were walking out after their shift.

"Tomorrow?" Faith asked, confused.

"Yeah. You took the day, remember? You're off tomorrow? And then we have our two days off?" Bosco reminded her.

"Oh. That. Yeah, I remember," she chuckled. "Uh, nothing much going on. Kids have some doctor appointments and stuff like that," Faith said. Bosco looked over at his partner. She'd been pretty quiet today. Something was definitely bothering her. She looked over and caught him looking at her.

He nodded and said, "Kids are okay, right?"

"Yeah, it's just checkups. You know, boring parent stuff. Just you wait," she kidded. "How much longer now?" she asked about Kim's due date.

"Couple of months," he said, eagerly awaiting the parental tasks that lay ahead.

"Kim's still feeling good?"

"Yeah. She's great. She had a checkup yesterday," he said, quickly reaching into his shirt pocket. "I almost forgot," he said, handing her a picture. "She had an ultrasound. That's my kid," he said proudly.

Faith took the picture and held it out under the streetlight. She smiled as she handed the picture back to him. "That's so great, Bos. I'm so happy for you guys. Did you find out what it is yet?"

"Nope. I want to be surprised. Joey thinks it's a boy and Kim thinks it's a girl. I don't care either way. As long as it's healthy, you know?" he replied.

"Yeah. I know," she said. "Well, have a good night. And I'll see you in a few days. You gonna be okay tomorrow without me?" Faith asked him. She knew he didn't like getting stuck with some rookie partner while she was out, but it was unavoidable.

He shook his head and said, "Yeah. I'll be fine. I thought we were goin' over to Haggerty's for a bit. You know, meet up Davis and Sully? Have a few beers?"

"Oh yeah. You know, I'm really beat. I'm gonna take a rain check, okay?" she said, flustered. "You have a good time though. Drive carefully."

"You sure?" he said and she shook her head. "Yeah, I'm just really tired all of a sudden. I'll see you in a few. Say hi to Kim and Joey for me," she said, turning to go.

He watched after her and saw her shoulders slump slightly as she started to walk away. "Hey Faith?" he yelled after her and she turned around. "You want a ride? I don't really feel like going out either," he offered, knowing that something was wrong.

"Nah. I feel like walking. You go ahead. Sorry," she said to him.

"No problem. You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. Go. Sully and Davis are waiting for you. I'm fine," she said, not wanting to tell him about her cancer biopsy in the morning.

"Alright. Call me if you need anything," he said as she turned to walk away.

"He knows something's wrong," she thought to herself, wondering for the 100th time whether she should tell him or not. "No. He wouldn't handle it well," she answered herself. "Hell, I'M not handling it well. Apparently the only one handling it well is Fred. He's so far in denial, I'll be dead four years before he accepts it," she thought to herself as tears sprang to her eyes.

Bosco watched her walk away and turn the corner. He got in his car and drove over to Haggerty's, fighting the urge to drive to Faith's house to check on her. "She's fine," he told himself. "She'd tell me. We did have a busy night, maybe she IS just tired," he convinced himself. He walked into the bar and found Sully and Davis.

"Hey, Boscorelli!" Davis said happily. Apparently he was a couple of beers ahead of Bosco.

Sully just rolled his eyes and said, "YOU'RE driving him home, Bosco."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll do your dirty work," Bosco kidded with Sully.

"Where's Faith?" asked Sully. "I thought she was coming with you?"

"She changed her mind. Said she was tired. She wanted to take the train home," he answered as the bartender handed him a beer. He took a long swallow and thought of his partner one more time. "I'll have Kim give her a call tomorrow. Maybe it's something with Fred," he told himself.
