Chapter 16

Bosco kneels down next to the grave, with tears falling down his cheeks. This was the first time that he has been to his brother's grave in a very long time, his mom brought him here a few months ago, when he got out of the hospital, but after that, he couldn't face coming here, he couldn't even said goodbye because it was too hard, but today he was going to.

"Remember my partner, Faith; well we are a couple now. I've always love her, it took a while for us to realize that we both love each other and want to be with each other. I saved her that night because I love her."

"I miss you so much Mikey. I'm sorry that you had to die because of me." He felt a hand on his shoulder. "It wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." He looked and saw Faith standing in front of him.

"How can I not?"

"Don't do this to yourself. Your brother wouldn't blame you, he loved you." she said.

"Faith, what are you doing here?"

"When I woke up and didn't see you there, I knew something was wrong, and then I saw the date, and I knew you would be here."

He looked at her. "But how did you know that today was…"

"Do you think I wouldn't remember what today is? I will always remember the day that I almost lost you," Faith said, as she placed flowers on Mikey's grave.

Bosco glanced at Faith. "I didn't even realize how hard today would be for you." She kneels down next to him, and put her arms around him. "It is hard, but all I have to do is look at you and know how lucky I am to have you here with me today." she said, as she leaned over and kissed him. "Well I'll leave you now. I'll see you later." she said, as she started to walk away.

"Please stay. " he said. She nodded, and sat down next to him, and grabbed a hold of his hand.

A while later:

Bosco touched the touchstone. "Goodbye Mikey, I miss you." He then turned to Faith. " I'm ready to go. I was finally able to said goodbye to my brother."

Bosco and Faith were walking into her apartment. "So my mom wants us to come for dinner tonight, can you come?"

"Sure," Faith replied. "At least I don't have to wonder about your mom not liking me."

They walked over to the couch."My mom liked you from the very beginning. What is there not to like about you. You are wonderful."

"I think I like this side of you, Bosco." she said, as she put her arms around him and leaned over and kissed him, she pulled his shirt off, she then kissed his scars. "I love you, Bosco." He mumbled a I love you too as he was kissing Faith.

A while later:

Faith was lying in Bosco's arms, she turned to him. "If you told me a few years ago that I would be lying in your arms today, I would have laughed. I think deep down, I loved you, Bosco. I just didn't want to admit it."

"I'm just glad that you admit it finally. You know I couldn't wait forever."

"You could have told me first that you loved me." Faith responded, as she looked at him.

"I could have, but does it really matter who did it first..."

Faith smiled. "I guess not..."

"I'm going to have a shower." Bosco replied, as he stood up. "Would you like to join me?"

"Not today," she said with a grin.

She watched as Bosco walked into the bathroom. She was so happy. It took a long time for them to realize, but it was all worth it in the end.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door. "Just a second," she said, as she got her clothes on. She opened the door. "Fred?"

Fred walked into the apartment. "We need to talk about the kids."

Fred then saw Bosco walking out of the bathroom in only a towel. "You should have come in the shower with me." Bosco said when he suddenly saw that Faith wasn't alone.

"What is he doing in our apartment?" Fred yelled.

"This hasn't been our apartment for a very long time; you can't tell me who can be here." Bosco rushed into the bedroom, not saying a word to Fred or Faith.

"So what's this about our kids?"

"Doesn't he come here all the time?" Fred asked.

"We're divorced now, Fred, I can do whatever I want with my life, either you tell me the reason you came or leave," Faith yelled.

"Our kids ran away today." Fred replied.

"What?" Faith replied. "What are you doing standing here? Let's go find them."

"They are fine, Faith, I found them, but I can't handle this anymore, Charlie isn't too bad, but Emily is rude and stay out all the time. I can't seem to do anything right."

"Maybe you shouldn't have took her kids away from her then." Bosco replied, as he walked out of the room.

"This is none of your business."

"See that is where you are wrong, Fred. I'm with Faith now, and I care about those kids, I always have."

"So what do you want to do about this?" Faith asked.

"I think the kids should live with you for a while and we'll see how that goes. I'll see them twice a week, and on the weekends."

Faith couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You are telling me that you want me to have custody of the kids now. For months now, you tried to take my kids away and you finally did it, and now that they aren't exactly how you want them to be, you want me to have them. That is how you are isn't it; you didn't like me being a cop, so you cheat on me and left me, what do you have a new baby coming and you want your old kids gone so you can make your kid how you want them to be."

Faith could see the expression on his face. "Oh my god, you are having a new baby, so this is the reason that you want me to have the kids."

"Yes my girlfriend is pregnant, but that's not the reason."

Faith laughed. "Yes it is, and you know it. Do the kids know that your girlfriend is pregnant?"

Fred shakes his head. "I haven't told them yet, but I will. If you don't want our kids, it's fine. If you rather spent time with Bosco than your kids, than fine. I know he's more important to you than anything else."

Bosco stood in front of Fred. "Faith loves her kids more than life itself. She would do anything for them, so don't say that she doesn't love them."

Fred looked at Faith. "You really lucky to have him, he sees you as this perfect person, but I know the real you, the one that comes home late, missing her kid's events, never has time for her husband."

"Just get out of here. I don't want you here anymore, you said what you wanted. Now go. I'll come by in an hour to pick up my kids." she said, as she opened the door. "Now go."

He grinned. "I hope you are happy with your life, because I know I am." he said as he left the apartment.

She sighed. "I hate that man, I never hate anybody as much as I hate him, he says that he loves our kids, but now he wants to ship them to me, so he can have his perfect family." Bosco hugged Faith. "Faith, calm down, it's fine. Just think of this way, you finally get to have your kids back,"

"I know, Bos, but I just don't like how he did it, and he was complaining about you being here. This is not his place anymore. He can't tell me who can be at my place. Faith shouted.

"Don't let that jagoff get you upset like this, this is what he wanted to do." Faith smiled. "I know you are right."

"So it looks like I won't be coming with dinner with your mom tonight."

"Yes you can." Bosco replied. "I'm sure Ma won't mind a few more guests."

"I wouldn't want to do that to your mom."

"Its fine." he said, as he picked up the phone.

A few minutes later:

"My mom said that's fine, she can't wait to see your kids." he said, as he walked up to her and put his arms around her. "See everything will be okay." Faith turned to Bosco. "I'm so lucky to have you."

"I'm the lucky one," he said, as he leaned over and kissed her. "I'll see you at my mom's house, say about 6:00." She smiled. "Sure that sound fine. I still can't believe that I am going to have my kids living with me."

"It looks like I won't be coming around late at night now." She grinned. "I think we can work something out." She waved goodbye to Bosco, as he left the apartment.

"So you and Bosco must be really serious, if you are having dinner with his mom?" Emily replied, as they showed up at Rose's apartment.

"I've met her before."

"That was before you were dating her son, Mom. Things are going to be different now."

Faith smiled at her daughter. "I don't think anything is going to change." Faith said, as she knocked on the door.

Rose opened the door. "Faith." she said, as she hugged her. "Your kids have grown so much," Faith smiled. "Yes they have." Faith replied, looking at her kids, and happy that she was finally together with them again.

"Don't just stand out there, come in." Bosco yelled from the kitchen. Faith walked into the apartment and saw Bosco in the kitchen.

"Don't tell me you are making the lasagna."

"No, Faith, I was just helping my mom."

"I'm not sure how good it would taste if you cook it." she said, as she walked up to him.

"I can cook." he said, as he put his arms around her. "So how are the kids?" he asked. She turned and looked at Emily and Charlie talking to Rose. "They are good; I still can't believe that tonight they will be sleeping in their own rooms again, the place won't seem so alone anymore."

"It was pretty lonely for you, wasn't it?" he asked.

"Only when you aren't there," Faith said. "That isn't that often"

Rose walked into the kitchen. "Why don't I finish making the dinner?"

They were all sitting at the dinner table. "So how school going?" Bosco asked.

"It's fine, "Charlie replied. " Is that where you got shot?" he asked, pointing at the scar on Bosco's face. "Does it hurt?"

"Charlie, don't ask questions like that."

"I'm sorry about that, "Faith replied, looking at Bosco. Bosco smiled. "Its fine, Faith. And yes Charlie that is where I got shot, and sometimes it hurts, but not as much now."

"That's pretty cool."

"You know woman think scars are sexy." Emily replied. Bosco turned to Faith. "Do you think it's sexy?" She put her hands on his. "Of course I do." She then whispered to Bosco. "Everything about you is sexy." Bosco laughed. He never seen this side of Faith before, and he likes it.

"So when are you and Bosco planning on getting marry, you know I do want grandkids someday."

Faith spit her food out of her mouth. "I think you are getting ahead of yourself, Rose."

"You love my son, don't you?"

"Of course I do, but we are no way near getting married." Faith spoke softly.

"You do want to marry him one day right, I don't want my son to think that there is a chance for the real thing when you have no desire to marry him."

"Stop it, Ma."

Faith smiled at Rose. "I would never hurt your son, I love him too much, and maybe one day we'll get marry, but just not yet.

Rose smiled. "That's all I wanted to know." Rose grabbed the plates. "Let me help you." Bosco said, as he walked over to the kitchen to help his mom.

"See I told you that everything would be different between you and Rose." Emily responded.

Faith smiled. "I guess you were right."

"If you and Bosco do get marry, we won't mind." Emily said. Charlie nodded. "Same here… he's cool." Faith hugged her kids. "Thanks, I don't think me and Bosco will be getting married yet maybe one day," she said, looking at him with his mother. One day, she whispered to herself.

An hour later:

"I'm going to be going to take the kids home, thanks for dinner." Faith said, as Rose hugged Faith.

"I just love my son, and I want him to be happy." Faith smiled. "I know you do, I love Bosco, and I would never do anything to hurt him, I am really happy with him."

"So maybe you are the "one."

"You won't give up, will you?" Faith replied with a laugh.

"Not until I have some grandkids."

Bosco could hear what his mother was saying. "That's enough. I'll see you later, Ma." he said, as he hugged her. They waved goodbye to Rose and left the apartment.

A few days later:

Faith had just said goodnight to her kids, it felt so good to have her kids in the same place as her, she missed them so much. Emily was actually getting on with her. Who thought that could happen, Faith thought to herself.

She then opened her door, and saw Bosco sleeping in her bed. She smiled to herself, she thought that since her kids were leaving with her, that he would decided that he wouldn't want to come over anymore, as much as he did before, but nothing has change, and the kids love having him here. She got undressed for bed, and got into the bed. She put her arms around Bosco. "Hey."

"I thought you were asleep."

"I was, until you woke me up." He said with a grin.

"No, I didn't." Bosco leaned over and kissed her. "Okay maybe you didn't wake me up."

"But I'm awake now..."

She put her head on his chest. "When we started being partners all those years ago, did you ever think that this would be how we would ended up years later?"

"Of course I did from the time I saw you, I knew I wanted to be with you." She hit Bosco. "No you didn't, I was married remember."

"That doesn't mean I didn't look at you, do you remember those leather pants, you had, you looked pretty hot, do you still have them?"

"I think I do."

"I would love to see them in you."

"Maybe one day, I'll give you a show." she said. Bosco grinned. "I can't wait." She laid her head. "I'm tired tonight, do you mind if we don't…" She looked at Bosco and saw that he had got back to sleep. "Goodnight, Bos," she said, as she leaned over and kissed him.

It took a long time for the both of them to realize how much they loved each other, and wanted to be together. They are the happiest they've been in a long time. They feel incomplete when they're apart, but when they are together they are complete, and that is exactly how it is going to be. Always.
