Kim was pulling her hair back when Jimmy came up behind her. "Hi." She said when she saw him in the mirror. He didn't say anything. "Jimmy? You okay?"

"Here," he handed her something.

She turned around and took it. She looked over it. "You're kidding me right?" She asked once she'd gotten the meaning of the papers.

"Kim, I just don't think Bosco's a stable influence."

"A stable influence? You're judging stable influences? Have you lost what little mind you have? Joey adores Bosco and vice versa."

"Kim," Jimmy tried to calm her down.

"What? Did you give these to me here so I wouldn't make a scene? Piss off Jimmy. And you can shove these," she threw the papers back at him.

"There are more copies of those," he called after her.

"You can shove those too."

"Station Fifty-Five," Alex said into the phone later that day.

"Hey Alex. It's Bosco. Kim there?"

"Yeah. Hold on," Alex said. "Hey Kim? It's Bos."

"Finally," Kim took the phone. "Thanks Alex."

"Sure."

"Bos?"

"Hey, I just checked messages. What's up?"

"I got served this morning."

"With what?"

"Custody papers."

"What?"

"Yeah. Jimmy is trying to take Joey away because he thinks you're an unstable influence."

"Why the hell would he think that?"

"I think he heard about what happened," Kim said.

"Dammit," Bosco cursed. A few more words that didn't bear repeating followed before he calmed down enough to ask, "Are you okay?"

"I'm pissed off, is what I am. He has no right to do this. The king of unstable influences has no right to give that title to anyone else."

"It'll be okay. I promise you. We will fight this," Bosco said. "Faith and I have a dinner break coming up. Why don't you and Doc meet us at Pete's?"

"One second, I'll ask Doc if he wants to." A few minutes later, "We'll be there in ten minutes."

"See you then," Bosco said. "Hey. I love you."

"I love you too," Kim said and Bosco could hear the smile in her voice.

"Bye," Bosco hung his cell up and looked over at Faith. "You're not gonna believe this one."

Faith rose an eyebrow and waited for him to continue.

Kim was sitting on the hood of Bosco's car later that night waiting for him.

"Hey Kim," Faith greeted.

"Hey," she said with a smile. "Sorry about dinner. We must have driven you and Doc nuts."

"Well, I admit you and Bosco came up with more ways to kill Jimmy then I ever thought were possible but I'm on your side. Bosco may be somewhat nuts sometimes but he'd never hurt Joey. I know that."

"So do I."

"Are you gonna tell him?"

"Joey? I haven't thought about it. Crazy as it sounds, I don't want him to be mad at Jimmy," Kim rolled her eyes. "Stupid, huh?"

"Nah. No matter what else happens, you know that Joey loves Jimmy and you don't wanna mess with that. That doesn't make you stupid, it makes you a good parent."

Kim smiled. "Thanks Faith. I needed to hear that from someone other then my own head."

"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Night."

"Night."
