"It's just a guy from a house up town," Kim said, buttoning herself into a shirt. "He's just subbing till Lieu finds someone permanent."

"I don't like you riding around with someone I don't know. Especially since he's a guy."

"You never had a problem with me riding around with Bobby."

"That was different," Bosco argued.

"How so?" Kim turned around to look at him.

"Bobby knew better then to make a move on you."

Kim folded her arms and glared.

"That came out wrong."

"Ya think?"

"What I meant was that Bobby had honor and he knew you were spoken for so he wasn't going to make a move on you." Bosco looked at her hopefully. "Is that better?"

"Marginally," Kim tilted her head and smiled. "You're cute when you're jealous."

"I must be gorgeous right now."

"Definitely," Kim smiled. "You have nothing to worry about. This guy puts one hand out of place and his ass is grass even without your gun."

"Good to know."

"And then there's the fact that I just love you so damn much I can't even think of another guy," Kim said.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Well that's good, cause I'm thinking I love you too."

Kim wrapped her arms around him. "Wanna get hitched and have a baby?"

"Sure," Bosco grinned.

"Good answer."

"Hello?"

"Hey, where are you?"

"We're on our way home from the airport. Melanie just got out of the airport parking lot," Kim looked over at her sister. "Why?"

"Can she drop you off at the hospital?"

"What happened?"

"After you left to go get the kids, Alex got hit by a car."

"Oh God."

"Kim, she's okay. I talked to Doc and she came out of surgery fine."

"What about the driver?"

"We got the guy. He's in lock-up right now."

"I'll meet you at the hospital okay?"

"Okay."

Bosco looked at the clock when he heard the door to the bedroom close. "Kim?"

"Yeah. Sorry. I waited till Mrs. Taylor got there. She was upstate visiting Alex's grandma," Kim's voice said softly.

"Did you check on the boys?"

"Yeah they're sleeping."

He heard her get out a T-shirt and shorts to sleep in and then felt her crawl into bed next to him.

"Did Joey ever stop talking?" She asked snuggling up against him.

"When I turned off the light in his room," Bosco grinned when he heard Kim's soft laugh.

"I think he's glad to be home," she said softly.

"I know I'm glad they're both home."

"Mmm.. Me too," she agreed sleepily.

"How's Alex?"

"She'll be okay."

"Good. Night."

"Night," she mumbled.
