"That's adorable," Alex told Kim.

"I just hope Amanda likes it," Kim folded the dress back up and put it into a box. "I appreciate the help with all the kids. Amanda wanted Charlie Yokas to come and I don't think Bos is ready to be around him just yet."

"Is he not coming at all?"

"No, he'll be here before the party to have a family lunch for her birthday."

"Can I ask you something?

"I have no clue what's going on with him and Faith. None."

"Really? I thought for sure he'd tell you."

"I'm just trying to let him come to me on his own. I don't want to push."

"But you're pretty much dying to know right?"

"Am I that obvious?"

"Yes," Alex smiled. "But in a good way."

"Thanks a lot Taylor."

"Oh before I forget," Alex dug something out of her bag. "This is from the guys at the station."

"What is it?"

"I have no idea. Doc picked it out."

Kim shook it. "Hmm, sounds like jewelry."

"Maybe it's a Yankees pin."

"Nah, that would happen if Lombardo had done the picking out. Maybe it's a fireman's pin."

"Oh Bos would love that."

Kim smiled and added it to the pile of gifts that were from family.

"So when's your mom bringing the kids back over?"

"About an hour. She took Amanda and Joey for a hair cut and Johnny's taking a nap."

"So, all we have to do is wait."

"Right."

"Okay, I'm gonna clear out of here, let you guys do the family thing, and then I'll see you at two."

"Thanks Alex."

"Sure," the blonde smiled as she headed out the door.

"Hey Jimmy!"

The firefighter looked up. "Hey Davis," he greeted the cop. "What's up?"

"You going to Kim and Bosco's later?"

"After work to pick up Joey. He wanted to stay for Amanda's party."

"Good," Ty dug into his back pocket. "This is for Amanda. Make sure she gets it, will ya? A couple of us went in on it together."

"Sure. What is it?"

"It's a charm shaped like a badge with NYPD and 5-5 on it."

Jimmy laughed. "She'll love it."

"We thought so. She's a daddy's girl."

"Alright, see ya later man."

Ty waved and then started into the house.

"Davis? Have you seen Bosco?" It was Cruz.

"Nah. It's not time for him to be here yet. I'm here to work out."

"Oh. Who was that you were talking to?"

"What you mean Jimmy? He's a firefighter."

"Oh. Is he the one Kim was married to?"

Now Ty considered himself a lot of things. Stupid wasn't one of them. Naïve, maybe, but not stupid. Cruz was fishing.

"Married?"

"Doherty and Bosco's wife. Weren't they married?"

"Not as far as I know," Ty said.

"Oh. Okay. Thanks."

"Oooh! Thank you Grandma!" Amanda said when she opened the purse from Catherine.

"You're welcome sweetie," Catherine kissed the top of her head.

"It matches the shoes Nana gave me," she smiled at Rose.

Catherine and Rose shared a smile as well once Amanda had gone back to opening her gifts.

Bosco put his arms around Kim from behind as they stood in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Think she liked my gift?" He whispered.

"What girl wouldn't like NYPD and FDNY shirts?" Kim teased. "But yeah, I think she liked it. It was sweet."

"Sorry to leave you alone with the party."

"It's okay. Taylor's gonna help. I'll be okay. Just try and stop by, okay? But do not-"

"I won't bring her into the house," Bosco promised.

"Thank you."
