"Mom's got the kids. They begged to stay over. I'm beginning to get a complex," Kim said as she met up with Bosco as she came out of the firehouse.

"Why? Because they love their grandmothers?" Bosco said, hugging her.

"Hey!" Kim exclaimed as she jumped from the pinch he'd given her on her backside. She quickly poked him in the ribs and said, "No, because they'd rather be with them than me lately," she said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Stop. They love you. It's just that both your mother and my mother let them do whatever the hell they want," he pointed out.

"Yeah, that could be it," she agreed.

They walked over toward Bosco's car, arms around each other's waists. "So, you're looking pretty smug with yourself," Kim said.

"Who me?" Bosco said, looking over at her, a smile coming to his face. She noticed the mischievous look in his eyes.

"Jimmy told me what you and Monroe did tonight. Did you have fun?" she asked him.

Bosco nodded his head exaggeratedly and said, "Oh yeah. The look on Allie's face when I was putting those cuffs on him in front of his people was priceless," he admitted, chuckling. Kim tickled him and started to laugh along with him.

"Jimmy looked a lot more relaxed tonight," Bosco noted as they walked toward his car.

"Yeah, the guys are giving him the respect," Kim answered.

"Thanks to your advice about how to handle the guys. He actually looked comfortable saying 'I'm Lieutenant Doherty, FDNY,'" Bosco told her.

"Well, what can I say? I'm wise beyond my years," she said, letting out a sigh and getting a teasing shove from Bosco.

They'd reached his car and Bosco leaned on it, turning Kim away from him and then pulling her toward him so that she was leaning her back against him. He wrapped his arms around her and looked up at the clear sky, taking in the sight of the stars and the fresh air.

"I'm hungry," Kim said, leaning her head back on his shoulder so that her ear was next to his mouth.

"Now there's a surprise. I swear Kimmy, I don't know where the hell you put it," he teased her.

"I can't help it. Must be the fresh air. Oh hey, Carlos' mother called from California. She saw the news story on television. Carlos sent her money to fly into New York. He's at the airport to meet her flight. Hopefully, she'll be a match for Kylie," Kim told Bosco.

"Wow. That was fast. I hope it's the real thing," he said.

"What do you mean 'you hope it's the real thing'?" Kim asked, turning around to face him.

"Nothing. I just hope it's not some jagoff trying to get a free ride to New York on Carlos' money," he said. "How about Haggerty's?" he asked, changing the subject.

Sasha Monroe was coming out of the station as they started to get into the car.

"G'night you two," Sasha called to them.

"Hey! We're going to Haggerty's. Wanna come?" Bosco called to her. She thought for a moment and then shrugged.

"Sure! I'll follow you over in my car," she called back to them as Ty and Sully came out.

"Follow them where?" Ty asked. After Sasha told them they were going to Haggerty's, it turned into a regular party. Kim and Bosco waited for everyone to get into their cars and pull out behind them.

Bosco started toward Haggerty's and looked over to see Kim staring out the window. "Kim?"

"I hope you're wrong about this woman from California," she said, looking over to him.

"I probably am. You know what a pessimist I am. I made an appointment to go over to the hospital to get tested to see if I match," he told her.

"You did? That's so sweet," she said to him, reaching over to take his free hand.

"The kid deserves a shot. And besides, Carlos has come a long way. He's not such an ass anymore," he said, lightening the mood.

She squeezed his hand and they continued on to Haggerty's to enjoy a night out to unwind with friends.
