Revelations
Chapter 14
A few days later:
"You know you didn't have to come with me to the therapist," Faith replied.
"I don't mind; think of it like payback for all the times you took me to the physical therapist."
"I didn't mind taking you, Bos." she said, as she leaned over and kiss him. "I like taking care of you."
"Oh you do?" he said, with this grin on his face, as he started to kiss her again. "If you don't stop kissing me, I'll never get to my appointment." He nodded. "I'll meet you back here in a hour." he said.
"I really don't need to talk to anybody. I'm fine." she responded.
"You are starting to sound like me, Faith."
"I wouldn't want that, would I?" she said, as she playfully hit him. "What are you saying? You don't want to be like me?"
She smiled. "Of course I don't. You are one of kind." she responded, as she put her arms around him. "And I love you for that."
"I'll see you later," she said, as she walked away from Bosco. She turned around and saw him standing there waiting for her to go instead, she can't believe how far they have come, a few days ago, she thought that it was all over for her and Bosco, but now they are better than they have ever been before.
She then opened the door to the doctor's office, and walked inside.
"So why are you here, Mrs. Yokas?" the therapist asked.
"You know why," Faith replied. "It is because they won't let me go back to work without some therapy."
"And why do you think that is?" the therapist asked.
"Do we have to do this? I know that I spaced out during work, but it won't happen again. It was just this one time thing."
"It says here that that you were there when your ex- partner was shot. Did you go to see someone about that day?"
Faith sighed. "I talked to someone before about what happened. I don't want to talk about it again."
The therapist looked at Faith. "How about we talk about your ex- partner Maurice Boscorelli?"
A hour later:
Faith walked out of the office, and saw Bosco sitting in the waiting area. She walked up to him. "Hey." He stood up. "So how did it go?"
"It was fine," she said. He looked at her. "Does she think that you are alright to go back to work?" he asked with a concerned on his face.
"I don't know that is up to her. I know you are worried about me, but I'm going to be fine. I promise you." He grabbed her hand. "I can't lose you, so you better be okay to go back to work." She smiled at him, as they walked out of the office. "I promise you. I'm okay." She turned to face him. "Being able to talk to you has helped me a lot, more than I thought it would. I just wish I told you sooner about my nightmares. I had one that night," He looked at her. "What are you talking about?" he asked with a confused look on her face.
"You remember the night that you had Sully go to find me." Faith spoke softly. Bosco nodded.
"Well I lied to you. I went for a walk because I had a nightmare where you were telling me it was my fault." Bosco grabbed her hand. "I would never blame you, Faith." She looked at him. "I know you wouldn't, but after that nightmare, all I could hear was you blaming me, and that is why I went for a walk so late at night." Bosco held Faith in his arms. "I dreamt about you that night as well. I had a nightmare that you were shot instead of me that night in the hospital lounge." Bosco blurt out. Faith looked at him. "That is why you were so worried about me that night."
"I didn't mean for that to come out, Faith." Faith hugged Bosco. "It's fine, Bos. I'm glad that you feel you can tell me this stuff."
Bosco smiled at Faith. "You are everything to me, Faith. I will tell you anything. I love you."
She smiled at him. "I love you too, "she said, as she leaned over and kissed him.
"I thought there was something more going on between the two of you than you said," said a voice. Faith recognize the voice right away, it was none other than her soon to be ex- husband.
She turned around. "Fred," she replied. She looked at him standing there with this girlfriend. Even though she didn't love Fred anymore, it still hurt to see the person that he cheated on her with.
"I don't have to explain myself to you." Faith responded sharply.
"Why don't you just admit it that you had an affair with Bosco while we were married?" Bosco stood in the middle of Faith and Fred. "No, I think that was you. You were the one that cheated not Faith."
"So why were you kissing him then?" Fred asked.
"I already told you I don't have to tell you anything, but I'm sure you will find out soon enough from Emily. Bosco and I are together."
Fred laughed. "So you wanted to be with him along, didn't you?" Bosco grabbed her hand for support. "I don't have to explain my relationship to you, Fred. You are my ex- husband. What did you think that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life, because you decided to leave me for this woman?" Faith responded, as she looked at the woman standing in front of her.
The woman looked at Faith. "I'm sorry..."
" You have never to be sorry about. I'm happy that I finally got out of this marriage. I just wish that I left you all these years ago, Fred. I have never been this happy in my life for a very long time."
Fred looked at Faith with this mad look on his face, unsure what to say to what Faith just said. "I'm glad that I ran into you. I need to talk to you about our daughter."
The woman looked at Fred. "I'll see you later," she said, as she leaned over and kissed him. Fred nodded, as she walked away.
"So what's wrong with Emily?" Faith asked with a concerned look on her face.
"I'm not saying anything with him here," Fred shouted.
Bosco walked up to her and hugged her. "Are you going to be okay with him?" he whispered. She smiled. "I think I can handle him" she replied.
"I'll see you later then." he replied. He was just about to start walking away when he turned around. "Fred, I just wanted to thank you for cheating on Faith because if you didn't do that, I would have never had the chance to be with her. So thank you."
Faith couldn't believe that he just said that. He grinned at her, and walked away.
Faith walked up to her apartment and saw Bosco waiting for her. She smiled at him. "I thought you would be here. Sorry it took so long with Fred." she replied, as she opened the door, and they walked inside.
"Is Emily okay?" he asked, as he walked into the living room, and sat down on the couch. She walked up to him. "Fred's having some trouble with her. She is staying out all night, cutting classes, and being rude to him." Faith responded. "So Fred decided that Emily should stay with me over the weekends, and one in the week."
"So now he wants you to see your kids when he is having trouble with one of them. You are a much better parent than he is." he replied, as he put his arms around her. She nodded. "I still can't believe what you said to Fred. You should have seen the look on his face. But I'm glad that you did it." He grinned. "So I am." She started to kiss him, and pulled his shirt off, and then she just stopped.
"I knew you were lying to me, when you said that these scars don't mean anything to you." Bosco yelled, as he stood up. He grabbed his shirt, and was about to put it back on when Faith grabbed his shirt. "I didn't lie to you, Bosco."
"Yes you did, Faith. I saw the way that you looked at my scars. you looked disgusted." She grabbed his hand. "I wasn't. I was just in shock. It was the first time that I saw those scars."
"I knew it Faith. You told me that I was the same person I was before, but the way you looked at me, it shows me that you were lying to me. Why would you do that?"
She led Bosco to the couch. "I was in shock but not for the reason that you think."
"When I saw your scars, I thought about what you did that night. You risked your own life to save mine. These scars will always be a reminder of what you did for me."
"I would do it again if I had to," Bosco replied. Faith moved closer to him.
"Don't you ever think about it again. I can't risk losing
you," she replied, as she leaned over and kissed him. "Are you trying to get me
to shut up?"
"Maybe I am," she said, as she kissed him again.
The next morning:
Faith was lying in the bed next to Bosco. "Good morning," she replied with a smile on her face.
Bosco looked at the clock. "Why are you waking me up so early?"
"I see you are as grumpy in the morning as you are during the afternoon." she said, with a laugh. He sat up. "I'm just not use to someone being here in the morning."
"What has it been, just a few months?" Faith responded.
"It's been more than that Faith."
"What you are telling me that Maurice Boscorelli? The man of every woman's dreams hasn't slept with anybody for long time. What is happening to you? Have you lost your touch?"
"So you dream about me, do you?" he said, with a smile.
"No, I never said that."
"Yes you did, Faith. You said of every woman's dream. So that must make you think that every woman wants to be with me and that includes you, Faith." he said, as he leaned over and kissed her. "I never dream about you. I have the real thing right here." she replied with a laugh. He put his arms around her. "I dreamt about you, many times.. you …"
"Stop it Bosco, I don't want to hear."
"I just..."
"No Bosco, keep it to yourself." He smiled. "Okay, if you say so."
Faith moved closer to him. "Did you mean it when you said that you haven't been with a woman for a long time? " He looked at her. "After you got shot, I never really dated anybody. I don't know why, but I just didn't feel like it. I guess after nearly losing you, dating a woman wasn't my number one priority anymore."
"You really change after I got shot, didn't you?" she replied, as she put her arms around him "I didn't even realize how much you changed."
"I haven't change that much, Faith. I'm still a jerk most of the time. "
"But I love you anyway." She said with a smile. She got of the bed and put her bathrobe. "I'll go and make us some breakfast. You have your physical therapy this morning, don't you?"
He smiled. "Yes I do. I find out today if I can go back to work or not." Bosco responded. "Faith, I don't know what I will do if I can't go back and be a cop." Faith sat on the bed. "Don't think about it, Bos. But whenever happens I'll be there for you." He leaned over and kissed her. "I know. I'm going to go and have my shower." he replied, as he stood up and walked into the bedroom.
Bosco walked out of the bathroom. "That smells great," he said, as he sat down next to her. She looked at him. "Hey."
"I'm so use to nobody beside me being here, that I didn't have much food." she replied, as she put the food on the plate and handed it to him. "Whatever you have is fine, probably more than I have."
She smiled at him, as she sat down next to him. "Do you want me to take you to your physical therapy appointment?"
"No, I'll be fine." he replied. She looked at him. "I really don't mind."
He smiled. "I know you don't, but its fine. I'm sure you have better things to do than take me to my appointment." She hugged him. "Maybe I just wanted to spend more time with you."
"Oh you do." he said, as he put his arms around her as they were eating their breakfast together. Faith looked at Bosco, and had a smile on her face. "What are you smiling about?" he asked.
"You" she said, as she led him to the living room.
A few hours later:
"Call me as soon as you get home from the appointment," Faith told Bosco, as he was leaving to go to his appointment. He smiled at her. "Okay I will." he said, as he hugged her. She looked at him. "Everything will be okay," she said, as she leaned over and kissed him. "I love you."
He nodded. "Same here." he said, as he was leaving the apartment. He then bumped into Emily. "Hi Bosco." Emily replied.
"Hey Emily," Bosco replied. "Talk to you later." He then turned around. "Bye Faith," he replied with a smile on his face. "Bye Bosco."
Emily looked at her mother, and could see how happy she was. "You worked things out with Bosco, didn't you?" Emily and Faith walked over to the couch. "Yes I did. I guess you were right?"
Emily smiled. "I'm so happy for you." she replied, as she hugged Faith. "I wasn't sure first of all when you told me that you loved Bosco, because I will always see him as my Uncle Bosco. But when I saw the two of you today, the smile on your faces, I knew that you both deserve it. Just don't kiss each other while I'm here."
"I won't" Faith said with a smile. " So how are you doing?"
"You don't know how hard it is living with dad. Even though his girlfriend isn't living with us, she is there all the time, she is trying to be my mom, but she isn't, you are." Emily responded. "I might shout at you all the time, but I still love you mom."
Faith hugged Emily. "I know you do."
"I know it is hard living with your father, but you can't stay out all night. Your father worries about you."
"No, he doesn't, mom." Emily replied.
"Don't say that Emily, you know that is not true." Faith responded. Emily looked at Faith. "I know my dad loves me, but he didn't even know that I stayed all night. It was probably because he cares more about his girlfriend than his own daughter." Faith hugged Emily. "I'm sorry you feel that way. You should have called me. I'm still your mom."
Emily smiled. "I know."
"I talked to your father yesterday and we decided that you should stay with me on the weekends and one day during the week. That is if you want to."
Emily looked at her mom with a smile on her face. "I never thought I would be happy to spend time with you," she said as she hugged Faith. Faith took that as a compliment.
"Will Bosco be here during those days?"
"He doesn't have to be." Faith replied.
"No, I would love to have him here. I miss Uncle Bosco." Emily replied. Faith smiled. "He misses you too."
"So how's Charlie doing?" Faith asked. "I talked to him yesterday, but he didn't tell me much."
"He's doing okay. He misses you, mom." Emily responded. "Can he come with me on the weekend?"
"I'll have to talk to your father first." Faith responded. Emily nodded. "Well I should be going now." she replied.
"Why don't we spend the day together?" Faith replied.
"You aren't working today?" Emily asked. Faith shakes her head. "No, I'm off for a few days."
"Sure, I don't have anything better to do today." Emily replied. Faith grabbed her jacket. "Okay let's go."
Later that day:
Faith walked into the apartment, as she was walking in, the phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey."
Faith knew the voice right away. "Hey Bos, how did the appointment go?"
"My therapist said that I'm ready to go back to work. I called Lieutenant Swersky and he says that I just need to requalify at the target range, and then I come back to work in a week or so, depending on the results."
"That is great news. I knew that everything would be okay."
"So how's Emily?" Bosco asked.
"She's fine. We spent the afternoon together. It was so nice to be with my daughter and not us shouting at each other. She is going to spend the weekend with me, and she was wondering if you are going to be there. She misses you."
"She does." Bosco said with a laugh.
"Of course she does. I am going to try and get Fred to let Charlie stay with me on the weekend, but I don't know if he will agree with that." Faith replied.
"I'm sure he will, if he agreed for you to have Emily." Bosco replied.
"Yeah, but that is because she is being a problem for him." Faith replied. Bosco laughed. "I bet he wishes for joint custody now."
Faith laughed. "I'm sure he does."
"So will I see you tonight?" Faith asked. She misses Bosco already even though he has only been gone for a few hours.
"No sorry, Faith. I have to have dinner with my mom. Do you think you can last without seeing me for one day?"
"I don't know. This is going to be hard. " Faith replied with a smile. "But I hear there was a good romantic movie on tonight, so I think I will be okay."
"I'm better than any guy in a romantic movie."
"You think?" she said.
" I am." he replied.
"I should be going now, Bos. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I hope I'm able to handle not seeing you tonight," she said.
"Goodnight Faith."
"Goodnight Bosco" she said, as she hang up the phone.
A few weeks later:
Bosco walked into the locker room for the first time since his shooting. He was nervous and excited at the same time to be back at work.
"Welcome back, Bosco." Ty replied, as he hugged him. Bosco nodded. Everybody then shouted "Welcome back!" Bosco started to hug everybody.
A few minutes later:
Bosco walked into the roll call room. "I can't believe that you are on time, Bosco." Swersky replied.
"Don't get use to it."
Swersky told everybody who they would be riding with. "Bosco, you will be in 55 David." Swersky told him.
"Who's my partner?"
Bosco looked at Swersky. "Please don't tell me I have to ride with a rookie who doesn't know what they doing." Swersky sighed. "Your partner is waiting for you. You will be finding out soon who it is. Just don't make trouble for them on your first day."
Bosco nodded. He sighed, and walked out of the office. He just hopes that he doesn't have a rookie. He didn't want to deal with that on his first day back.
He walked outside and walked to 55 David. He then saw the person was sitting the driver's seat. He walked up to the driver's side and knocked on the window. "You are only a rookie. I'm the one that drives. "
The person opens the door. "Is that how you said hi to your partner."
Bosco looked up and saw who his partner was. "Faith."
