"I called Brooke," Kim said, sitting down next to Bosco in the O.R. waiting
room.
"Why?"
"Cause mad at him or not, she's still his wife. She deserves to know. I don't think she's coming down though."
"You call the house?"
"Yeah. I called his folks too. They're on their way."
"When does the shift end for the firefighters?"
Kim checked her watch, "About an hour. They should start arriving soon. I talked to Doc. He said he'd let them know."
"You okay?" he murmured to her, trying not to wake Joey, who had finally fallen asleep again.
"No. I'm scared for him but I'm also a little mad at him for not knowing he was to tired to drive and not having the sense to pull over," she looked around her. "I hate hospitals."
"Babe, if you feel that way, you're in the wrong profession. Maybe you should take the police test."
"So we can both drive Christopher nuts?" Kim said. "I don't think so."
"He'd hate it."
"Hell, it'd be worth it just to make him suffer." Kim giggled. "You know he thinks Davis is gay, right?"
"He doesn't know that Davis is sleeping with Taylor?"
"No, no one does- wait a second. How did you know that?"
"Guy thing."
"Not fair."
"Well, how'd you know?"
"Girl thing," Kim winked. "You know Carlos doesn't know and he believes Christopher's story?"
"Morons, the both of them," Bosco shook his head.
"Yeah but see Christopher is a vicious moron. Carlos is just your average, every day moron and I really do not know how Ty stands living with him."
"Baby, people said the same thing when we started going out, remember?"
"Yeah."
"So what'd you say to them when they asked why you'd ever go out with me?"
"That there were two sides to you. The cop side and the regular person side."
"So maybe there's two sides to Carlos."
"Maybe and maybe there really is a Santa Claus."
Bosco laughed at that. "You want some coffee?"
"Nah."
"Okay," he laid Joey down gently and kissed Kim. "I'll be back."
"I'll be here."
Bosco had been gone a few minutes when Kim heard Alex's voice.
"How is he?"
Kim shook her head. "We don't know yet. Lieu let you off early?"
"No. I wasn't on today. Doc called me at home and I came down."
"Take a seat."
"Don't mind if I do." She sat down. "Where's your other half?"
"Getting coffee. If he brings back one for me it's all yours."
"Thanks."
"Alex, can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"When you first met Bosco, did you ask yourself what I was doing with him?"
"No, not really. It's tough to explain but I always figured there must be more than meets the eye with Bosco if you were so nuts about him."
Kim smiled. "Thanks."
"And then there was the fact that he had a really cute-"
"Yeah I know all about it. I've got it in bed with me every night."
"Aren't you lucky?"
"Yeah, I am." Kim smiled. Then she looked over Alex's shoulder. "Here comes the gang."
"Why?"
"Cause mad at him or not, she's still his wife. She deserves to know. I don't think she's coming down though."
"You call the house?"
"Yeah. I called his folks too. They're on their way."
