"That was quite the wake-up call, Mrs. Boscorelli," Bosco said, out of
breath, as Kim snuggled alongside him.
"Why thank you, Mr. Boscorelli. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself," she replied breathlessly.
"I think the children should go to their grandmother's house more often," Bosco said, receiving a poke in the ribs.
He turned quickly and started to tickle Kim, making her beg him to stop. He stopped and leaned over to kiss her and they began exploring each other again. The phone began to ring and Kim reached out for it.
"Don't answer that," he said, grabbing her arm.
"But..." she started only to be interrupted when he put a finger to her lips.
"Let the machine get it. If it's about the kids, we'll hear the message," he said, removing his finger and replacing his lips against hers.
As they enjoyed each other, they listened to the message being left on the machine. "Kim, it's Doc. I need you to come in early because of the storm. Bosco'll probably be getting a call too. Please call me when you get this message. Thanks."
They both stopped and looked out the window to see if it was snowing. "What's he talking about?" Bosco asked as his cell phone rang.
"Aren't you going to answer?" Kim asked him.
"No," he said, giving her the "do you think I'm crazy" look. "It's gotta be work."
"Now, where were we?" he asked, picking up where he left off. "What're you doing?" he asked, feeling her move around under him.
"I'm trying to reach the remote to see about this storm," she said, her hand landing on the remote and pushing the button as he let out a heavy, irritated sigh.
Both phones rang again as they listened to the news report about the approaching storm. Kim listened to the newest message from Doc and Bosco refused to answer his phone as they finished their lovemaking.
"We better start getting ready for work," Kim said a little while later. She got up and walked across the room to get some clothes out of the closet. Bosco watched her move across the room, uninhibited by the fact that she wasn't wearing any clothes. "I'm gonna go take a shower," she said, taking a towel and walking into the bathroom.
Bosco let out a low groan at the sight of her and got out of bed to follow her.
She was startled as Bosco climbed into the shower with her. "What's gotten into you today?" she asked as she started to respond to his touch.
"Complaining?" he asked, letting the warm water flow over them.
"Yeah. That we don't do this every day," she said as he covered her mouth with his own.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Hey you," Bosco said as he answered his cell phone.
"Hey yourself. How's Emily?" Kim asked him.
"She's in a coma. We don't know anything yet," Bosco said. Kim could hear the sadness in his voice.
"How's Faith doing?"
"Not good. She was okay when we first found her, but as soon as we got to the ER she lost it," he told her.
"Do you have any idea where she got the stuff from?" Kim asked.
"Not yet. That Eric kid lawyered-up as soon as his father found out about Emily," Bosco told her.
"She's lucky you guys found her," she said to him.
"Yeah, and she's lucky that Doc and Carlos were there when we did," Bosco said. "By the way, what's Carlos doing back on the street? Is that all settled?"
"I don't know. I don't think he was supposed to be working with patients because the Captain called Doc into his office as soon as they got back," she said as Alex walked into the room.
"Did you tell him about the fingers?" Alex said loudly so that Bosco could hear.
"Excuse me?" Bosco said in response when Kim laughed.
"We had this guy that stuck his hand in to clear his snow thrower," Kim explained. "He lost three fingers and I had to dig around in the snow to find them."
"Gross! Did you find them all?" he asked her.
"Yes I did. They were able to reattach them because they were preserved in the cold snow. He'll be counting on all 20 fingers and toes in no time," she said.
"That's my girl," Bosco said to her affectionately.
"So, did you finally get enough?" she whispered into the phone so Alex didn't overhear her.
"Of wha. Oh, that. Never," he said and Kim could hear the smile in his voice. "I can't believe we're stuck here though, sleeping on these cots."
"Suck it up, Toughman," she teased him.
"You can say that. You have a regular bed to sleep on," he said in his defense.
"There's always room for you," she said.
"Don't tempt me. Maybe I'll sneak over during the night," he warned her.
"Just make sure you climb into the right bed or it could get ugly," she said, making him laugh.
"So, what're you doing?" he asked her.
"Just sitting here watching the snow fall. It's so pretty as long as we don't have to drive around in it. I talked to my Mom and the kids are having a blast. We missed Johnny's first snowfall though," she said sadly.
"Your Mom took pictures, right?" he asked, hoping she did.
"Of course," she said as the bell went off signaling Kim that they had another call. "Gotta run," she said, standing up.
"Okay. Be careful. I love you," he told her.
"Love you too," she said, hanging up the phone.
Bosco watched out the window as the ambulance pulled out and headed down the road.
"Why thank you, Mr. Boscorelli. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself," she replied breathlessly.
