Knights Reunited
Chapter 6
I was in the waiting room with everybody when I turned to Ty. "Has Kim or Jimmy been called, I'm sure they will want to be here for this."
"We were in such a hurry, that we forgot." Ty replied.
I nodded. "I'll go call them." I said, as I stood up.
Ty looked at me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm not the one who is having a baby"
"You know what I mean, Faith." Ty replied softly, as he walked up to me. "Sasha told me that Bosco was at your apartment when you all showed up, and that he wouldn't go away."
"That's Bosco for you."
"It was my fault that this all happened," Ty said, looking to the floor.
I looked at him confused. "What are you talking about? Did you make Bosco drink and tell everybody how he feels about me? It's not your fault."
"But I was the one that told him to tell you how he feels about you."
I touched Ty's shoulder gently. "He did what exactly you told him to do."
"Not exactly."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, furrowing my brow.
"I don't really think he told you everything,"
"What more can he tell me?" I asked.
Ty shook his head. "I don't know, Faith, I'm just saying that I don't think Bosco said everything tonight."
"I'm going to go call Kim and Jimmy," I said, trying to change the subject. Ty nodded, as I headed out of the waiting room.
))
I was on my way back when I saw Lieu coming out of the lounge, and I saw Bosco sitting there with this look on his face. I have seen that face before…he reserves that look for when he's done something wrong, and he's started to regret it.
"Faith." I looked and saw that Bosco was coming out of the lounge.
"Hey," I said, softly. I didn't know what to say to him.
"Faith, can we talk?"
I glanced at him; he had that sad look on his face. "Boz."
"Please Faith; we need to finish what we started at your apartment."
"Not now." I said, as I walked away from him. I wasn't sure if it would ever be the time to talk; maybe it was too late for us. I never thought that I would be thinking that, but that looks like what is happening to us. I always thought that Bosco and me could get through anything…but maybe it was only a matter of time.
As I started walking back to the waiting room, I saw Sasha coming towards me. " I saw you talking to Bosco a few minutes ago, he wasn't harassing you again was he? I would be more than glad to arrest him."
I gave a small smile. "It was fine,"
"Why can't he understand that you just need some time to deal with everything that he said?" Sasha asked.
"You don't understand me and Bosco, I don't think anybody does. We have been though a lot together, fights, shootings, Cruz. We are scared that this is it for us. I don't want that, I don't ever want to lose Bosco. He thinks that I left 55-David for a better badge, but I would never do that, you can even ask Sully. I didn't want to take the job; I took it because I had to. I would have waited for Bosco if I could have, if there was no custody issue with my kids. I would have been in 55 David waiting for him."
"Why didn't you tell me that, Faith." I turned, and saw Bosco leaning against the wall a little ways down the hallway.
"Would it have really made any differences if I told you?"
"Well, we'll never know will we?" Bosco yelled. "How would you feel waking up and thinking that everything is going to be the same, only to have the reality of it shoved in your face?"
"I know, Bos."
"You don't know anything that I have been through." Bosco shouted, and before I could say anything else Ty run towards us.
"Holly just gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl."
Bosco and I just looked at each other I couldn't help but shake my head. There was no solution to this problem…none whatsoever.
"How's Carlos doing, he is probably a mess." Bosco said.
Ty smiled. "He was when she was delivering, but as soon he saw his daughter, it was like it was all worth it."
I turned to look at Bosco and saw this smile on his face. "You'll be like that one day."
"Can we see Holly?" I asked.
"What Holly and Carlos had their baby, and I missed it." Kim said, as she and Jimmy came towards the group.
"It's not like you would have been in the room, Kim" Jimmy replied. I took Jimmy and Kim arriving as my cue to leave, and headed away from the group…I needed time to think.
((
I knocked on the door, and saw Kim, Jimmy, Ty, Sasha, and Bosco in the hospital room.
I walked into the room. "I talked to Sully, he said that he is sorry that he can't get back, but he and Monica were too far to come, but he wishes Carlos and Holly the best."
"Faith, your just in time, Holly and Carlos have decided to name their daughter after me." Kim said with a laugh.
"No way, am I naming my daughter after you." Carlos responded.
"But you expected me to name my kid after you." Kim responded.
"I never heard this, Kim" Jimmy responded. "When did this happen?"
"The day that I quit work." Kim replied, as she looked at Carlo holding his daughter. "He asked me if I was going to name my kid after him and I said no."
I looked at Holly. "You look exhausted."
She smiled. "It is a natural thing."
"So you are telling me that it didn't hurt."
"I never said that." Holly responded. I sat down on the chair. Holly looked at me. " You're okay."
I nodded my head.
A nurse then came in. "We need to take Baby Nieto for a while. "
Holly looked at Carlos. "Could you…"
"Go with the nurse and make sure that our daughter is okay?" Carlos finished, smiling.
Holly smiled. "You know me too well."
Carlos put his daughter in the nurse's arms, and then went up to Holly and kissed her. "You get some rest." Carlos said, as he left the room with the nurse and his daughter.
Holly then told the rest of us to leave, as she needed some rest, so everybody left the room, and I was just about to leave as well when Holly stopped. "Stay, Faith."
"I thought you wanted everybody to go." I said, as I walked up to Holly.
"I did that so we could talk. You look like you needed to talk."
"I'm fine, you need to get rest…you're the one that just give birth." I responded.
She looked at me with a smile. "I know that you are still upset about Bosco."
"I'm fine about it now."
"No, your not, Faith. You are still hurting about what he said to you, and it's not just because of what he said to you."
"What are you talking about Holly?" I asked, confused.
" I was watching you today at the bar, and the way you were watching Bosco. It wasn't because you miss him as a partner…you are in love with him, aren't you?"
I was taken back by what she just said. She thinks that I am in love with Bosco? She must be weird to think that. There is no way that I would fall in love with Maurice Boscorelli.
"I don't know what you saying, but there no way I'm in love with Bosco."
"You might not want to admit it to yourself yet, but you know that you love him, just don't be afraid, Faith. I know that Bosco loves you, he just doesn't know want to admit it to himself. Sounds like the two of you are more like each other than you know."
I looked at Holly. "There is no way that Bosco loves me or I love him, we are just friends-" I paused, looking to the floor. "Well, we were."
"Just talk to him before it is too late." Holly said.
I nodded. "Well I should let you get some rest."
"I know what you are doing now; you can only hide it for so long." Holly said.
Carlos then entered the room, with their daughter
"Well I guess I'll leave you alone now to spend some time with your family," I said, as I headed out of the room.
((
I was heading back from the pop machine, when I walked past Holly's room and saw her and Carlos smiling and holding their daughter. I suddenly heard Bosco's voice."At least something good happened tonight, because the rest of it sucked."
I turned around and saw Bosco, once again leaning tiredly against the far wall. "I thought you would be gone by now."
"We still need to talk."
"Not tonight Bos,"
"You really think we are going to talk any other night? We'll go back to our normal schedule and we probably won't even do our monthly coffee visits anymore."
"What do you expect after what you did today?" I said, shouting.
"You're the one that went behind my back."
I looked at Bosco. "Can't you see why I did everything, why I was worried about you, it wasn't just because you were my partner, it was-" I stopped, my eyes widening slightly at what I was bout to say.
"It was because of what Faith? This is gonna be good." He said, sarcastically.
I shook my head. "Never mind, it doesn't matter." I turned and walked away from him, never looking back.
Meanwhile,
Carlos and Holly were playing their daughter. "She looks so much like you, Carlos." Holly looked at Carlos, who didn't even appear to have heard her. "Carlos?"
"I'm sorry, Holly, I was just listening to Faith and Bosco arguing again. Do you think they will ever make up?"
Holly smiled softly, still hearing Bosco and Faith out in the hallway. "Definitely."
