Kim woke up when Bosco turned off the car. It had been a mostly quiet ride
to Boston and she'd fallen asleep somewhere between their front door and
the police station they were currently at, adding to the quiet.
They got out of the car and Bosco took her hand as they walked up to the front doors. They entered the station and went to the desk.
"Excuse me? I'm Kim Boscorelli and my son-"
"Mommy!"
Kim looked to the right for the source of the voice and saw Joey running towards her. "Joey," she ran and met him halfway. Scooping him up, she hugged him tight. "Are you okay?" she asked, searching his face.
"I'm okay," he smiled. He looked over her shoulder. "Hi Bosco!"
"Hey Buddy," Bosco smiled. "You doing okay?"
"Uh-huh. But they won't let me see Dad."
"Honey, why don't you let me talk to your dad first okay? You and Bosco can go eat something and then we'll go home."
"Can I see Dad before we go home?"
"Sure," Kim smiled. She gave Joey to Bosco and once they were gone, she turned to the detective. "May I see Jimmy, please?"
"This way. He's in one of the interrogation rooms," she said leading her down the hall. "He's free to go when you two are done."
"Thanks." Kim entered the room and shut the door behind her. "Hi."
Jimmy turned from the window to look at her. "Hey. Is Joey okay? They haven't let me see him since we were brought here."
"Do you blame them?" Kim raised an eyebrow at him.
"No, I guess not."
"He's fine."
"Good."
"Jimmy, we really have to talk about this, you know."
"Yeah. Kim, I was stupid."
"That's one way to put it," Kim agreed. "I have never tried to screw with your relationship with Joey. What makes you so sure that I would do it now?"
"You're married Kim."
"Yeah, so are you."
"No, you're really married. I'm only married because neither Brooke nor myself has admitted that it's over between us. You're married in every sense of the word. You have a little boy and you and Bosco sleep together at night, which let me tell you is a disturbing image to say the least," Jimmy looked a little sick after his statement.
"Have you even talked to Brooke?"
"I tried a couple of times but she doesn't want anything to do with me."
"Can't say I blame her."
"I screwed up two of the best things in my life Kimmy."
"You'll get another shot Jimmy. I did."
"You weren't the only who spent most of our marriage sleeping with every other person in New York that wasn't your spouse." Jimmy said.
"You didn't totally screw up you know. Joey adores you. That won't change no matter how badly you botch up your relationships with women."
"You sure about that? He's pretty crazy about Bosco."
"Yeah he is. But Bos isn't his father. We all know that and he has never tried to take your place. The only one putting your place in Joey's life in jeopardy is you. Think about that for a second." Kim said. "You are trying to separate him from people who love him and people that he loves. He's not going to thank you for that Jimmy. He'll hate it."
"You sound like your mother."
"Do I? I heard she came to see you. I wish you'd told me about that instead of taking off with Joey."
"I don't want to lose him Kim."
"You won't. He thinks the world of you. Just remember that he also loves me and Bosco and Johnny, okay?"
"Yeah."
"You can leave. We'll see you back in New York," Kim said before she left.
They got out of the car and Bosco took her hand as they walked up to the front doors. They entered the station and went to the desk.
"Excuse me? I'm Kim Boscorelli and my son-"
"Mommy!"
