Is Love Enough

Chapter 4

Faith was sitting on the bench, when Bosco walked up to her.

"We need to go back now."

"No I can't."

"Please come with me; our kids need you, I need you!"

"You don't need me, Bos, you will be fine on your own," she said.

"But I do need you, Faith. I love you. Please, baby, come back with me," Bosco replied, as he took her hand.

Bosco was holding her hand, when he felt her hand touch him.

"You are coming back to me, aren't you?" he shouted. He ran out of the room.

"I need a doctor; she is waking up!" The doctor rushed into the room and walked over to Faith. He examined her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Boscorelli, but there is no change in your wife's condition."

"No, I know she is waking up! She moved her hand!"

"That happens sometimes with coma patients. They have involuntary movements; I'm so sorry."

"Don't tell me you are sorry. Damn it! I want another doctor," Bosco shouted and
walked out of the room. Susan was coming down the corridor when she heard Bosco shouting at the doctor. She walked up to them. Bosco looked at her.

"I want you to get me a new doctor! He doesn't know anything." Susan looked at the doctor.

"I'll deal with this," she said, as she led Bosco over to the waiting area.

"I know this is hard for you, but Dr. Woods is a great doctor. He knows what he is doing, I promise."

"Susan, she moved her hand! I know that she is going to wake up soon." Susan looked at Bosco.

"I know you think because she moved her hand that means she is waking up, but she's not right now."

" But she will wake up." Susan nodded.

"I know she will." Bosco sat down on the chair and put his head in his hands.

"I can't do this anymore." Susan sat down next to Bosco.

"Yes you can! Just don't give up on her."

"Are you always like this to your patients?"

"Only the very special ones," she winked, "Well I should be getting back to
ER. Have me paged if there is any change in her condition."

Bosco nodded as she walked away.

"Bosco," said a voice. He looked up and saw Emily standing in front of him.

"Hey," She sat down next to Bosco.

"I heard everything that you said to Dr. Lewis! Please, don't give up on her, she loves
you. She will come back to us."

"She loves all of us," Bosco said as he put his arms around Emily.

"So where are Michelle and Hannah?"

"Rose is taking them out for ice cream; I don't really think they realize
exactly what is happening."

"I'm glad Em that they don't know. I just wish that I could do more for them. I haven't been there for them. It's you, Charlie or my mom looking after them it should be me."

"Stop it! You are the best father that they could ever have! They love you and
you love them." Bosco smiled.

"You are more like your mother than you know." Emily nodded.

"I know, but don't tell mom that I said that!" Bosco
laughed and shook his head.

"I won't."

"Why don't I stay with Mom while you spend sometime with your kids." Bosco
looked at Faith through the window.

"I'm afraid if I leave something will happen to her." Emily put her hand on Bosco's shoulder.

"I'll be with her. Nothing is going to happen." Bosco nodded.

"I know."

"Now go be with your kids," Emily said with a smile. Bosco nodded and walked away from Emily.

Bosco knocked on the door to Rose's hotel room. She opened the door and he
smiled as he heard their voices...

"Daddy!" Michelle and Hannah screamed as they ran to Bosco's side.
Bosco hugged and kissed them.

"Daddy is taking you to the beach." Charlie looked at the girls.

"Why don't I get the two of you ready?" he
said as he picked Hannah.

"You got a little messy from the ice cream, didn't you?" Bosco smiled as he watched them walked away.

"I didn't think that you were come by here. Has Faith woken up yet?" Rose
asked hopeful. Bosco shook his head.

"No, but Emily is with her right now. I just realized that I needed to be here
for my daughters. I can't expect you, Emily and Charlie to look after
them all the time."

"We don't mind, Bosco. Your kids are my half sisters; I love looking after
them. The reason you aren't with them right now is because you are by my
mom's side. It is not like you are abandoning them." Charlie answered as he
brought Hannah and Michelle out of the bathroom with clean faces. Bosco hugged Charlie.

"Thank you."

"Say goodbye to Grandma Rose and Charlie." The girls waved goodbye to them.

Bosco was watching as Hannah and Michelle were playing in the sand. It felt
so good to see them happy. He sat down next to him.

"Let's build a sandcastle."

"Mommy," Michelle said. Bosco sighed.

"I know you want mommy with us, so do I. But she
is still sleeping, but as soon as mom wakes up, we will bring her here and
she can help us make a big sandcastle, ok?" Hannah climbed onto Bosco's lap and
put her head on his shoulder.

"Mommy."

"Do you want to go and see Mommy?" Michelle walked over to Bosco and climbed
on to him and looked at him.

"I'm guessing that is a yes. Come on, let's go and see mommy." Hannah and Michelle smiled. Bosco grabbed both of their hands.

"Yes we are going to go and see Mommy, but you have to remember mommy is sleeping, but she can hear what you are saying."

Bosco walked in the hospital with Hannah and Michelle and walked towards
Faith's room. Emily walked out of the room and the girls ran to her.

"Hannah.. Michelle," Emily replied smiling as she hugged them.

"Mommy..."

"Yes we are going to see Mommy in a few seconds, Hannah."

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Emily asked.

"They want to see Faith. I can't stop them. They deserve to see their
mother," Bosco replied. Emily nodded.

"Well I see you two later," she said, as she hugged them and waved goodbye to Bosco. Bosco walked into Faith's room with his two daughters by his side.

"Look who I brought to see you," he said, as he picked Hannah up and put her on the
bed next to Faith. Hannah went up to her mom and kissed her nose.

"Up, Momma," Hannah leaned over and kissed Faith's forehead. Bosco picked up Michelle, and put her beside Faith, too.

"Kiss... Up like beauty." A single tear run down his cheek. He wished that all it took was a kiss from him to wake Faith up. Bosco walked over and kissed Faith on the forehead.

"Mommy.. no up," Michelle replied. Bosco hugged his daughter.

"No, baby, Mommy is still asleep, but she can hear anything you say to her." Michelle crawled towards Faith and leaned down on Faith's chest.

"Love, mommy," she said, as she put her head on Faith's shoulder. Hannah lay down
next to Faith next to her sister.

"Mommy," she said, before she fell asleep. Bosco sat down on the chair, and grabbed Michelle's hands. She looked up at Bosco with this love in her eyes.

"Do you want to sleep with daddy?" he asked as he picked her up and put her on his lap. She looked up at him, and then closed her eyes. He gently touched her hair.

"Oh Michelle, I wish your mommy would just wake up. I can't do this on my own. Faith has always been the one that knows what to do. I wish all I had to do was kiss her and she
would wake up. But as long as I have you two, I can handle anything."

A few hours later, Rose had just arrived to pick up the girls.

"Thanks Ma. I wish I could come home with you, but I want to stay here just in case Faith wakes up."

"We understand." Michelle and Hannah hugged Bosco.

"Daddy.. home?" Hannah asked.

"I wish I could, honey, but I need to stay with mommy," he said. He knelt
down. He hugged her, again.

"But I come by as soon I can."

"Mommy..."

"Maybe with mommy," Bosco responded, looking up at Rose with a sad look
on his face. He hopes and prays that Faith will wake up soon, but he just
doesn't know. He waved goodbye to Rose and his kids and was just on his way back to
Faith's room, when he saw someone going into Faith's room. It wasn't
Charlie or Emily. He walked into the room; he then saw who it was.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Bosco shouted.

"I had to see her..." Bosco put his hand on the person's shoulder.

"Leave, before I kick you out. I don't want you anywhere near my wife ever again."
