Is Love Enough?

Chapter 5

Bosco looked at the person standing in front of him.

"I told you to leave!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"Last time you saw my wife, you almost made her lost our children. Leave now!"

Bosco flashed back to the night that Faith almost miscarried.

Bosco was on his way out of the police station when Swersky called to him.

"Emily just phoned you and said to tell you to come to the hospital right
away."

"What happened to Faith?" Bosco asked, nervously.

"I never said that it was Faith. How did you know?"

"I just know, boss. It is Faith, isn't it? Tell me what happened," Bosco
yelled.

"Emily just said that you need to come to the hospital, but she didn't tell
me why."

"Let me take you to the hospital," Swersky offered.

"No, I'll be fine," Bosco replied. Swersky looked at Bosco.

"You just found out your pregnant wife is in the hospital; I'm not letting you drive."

"Fine. Let's go now!"

Bosco walked into the room.

"Faith, honey?" She looked up at Bosco.

"Bosco, I'm so sorry! This is all my fault." Bosco ran to her side.

"Faith, none of this is your fault," he said, as he hugged her.

"What happened?"

"She went into premature labor because of my father. He came over this
morning and he was telling her that he wants to get back together with her."
Emily replied Bosco looked at Faith.

"Is that true?" Faith nodded.

"He wouldn't back off. He said that Carolyn broke up with him and he realized that he still loved me and only me. I told him that I didn't love him anymore. I love you and only you. That pissed him off and he told me that I was going to be with him, not you and that he was the one that I loved. not you. Then he grabbed my arm and then Emily walked in. A little while later, I got a pain in my side and Emily brought me here."

"Oh Faith, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. But none of this is your
fault," Bosco replied, as he hugged Faith. The doctor then walked into the room.

"Am I going to lose my babies?" Faith asked, worried. The doctor shook his head.

"You are going to be just fine, but you have to be on bed-rest from now on. No stress. If your daughter hadn't brought you in so quickly, there is a great chance that you would
have miscarried."

"Thank you, doctor," Bosco said, as he shakes her hand.

"I'm just glad that I could give you two good news," the doctor said and then left the room.
Bosco hugged Faith.

"See everything is going to be okay. You and my kids are
going to be just fine." Faith looked at Bosco.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Faith," he said.

"And I love our babies," he said, as he kissed her stomach.

End of Flashback

"It seems like you are the one that is hurting her! You couldn't even keep her safe. What kind of husband are you? At least I didn't get her hurt, but
this is the second time that you got hurt. It's your entire fault," Fred yelled.

"I would have jump in front of that car, if I could have, Fred!"

"But you didn't, did you? She is the one lying in a hospital bed, isn't she? "Fred shouted.

"I told you I want you out of here. You are not to be anywhere near my wife! Do you hear me?"

"Fine. I'm leaving," Fred replied as he walked out of the room. Bosco followed him to make sure that he left. Fred turned around.

"I really hope you and Faith are happy together; that is if she wakes up. See if she would've
stayed with me none of this would have happen! You are always hurting the people you love. I heard that it was your fault that your brother died all those years ago."

"Don't you ever talk about Mikey or my family!" Bosco said. He then hit Fred in the face.
Fred hit Bosco, back.

"You destroy everybody in your life.. Faith and your kids."

"I love Faith; I would never hurt her."

"Boscorelli, you will always be a screw-up!" Fred shouted as Bosco hit him. Fred then
through him on the floor. Bosco stood up and hit Fred, again.

"He's not worth it!" Bosco turned around and saw Emily standing in front of them. Fred looked at Emily.

"He was the one that hit me first."

"I don't care, dad! You shouldn't even be here! Remember what happen last
time you saw mom; you nearly made her lost my sisters! I don't want you anywhere near my mom, " Emily replied.

"You turned my own daughter against me," Fred responded looking at Bosco.

"No, dad, Bosco didn't do that, you did it yourself," Emily responded.

"Just go, nobody wants you here."

"How can you talk to me like that? We haven't talked in months and this is how you talk to me?"

"You haven't phoned me, Dad. I am taking an exam soon to become a police officer, but you wouldn't know that would you?"

"Haven't you forgotten about that dream? Look what it did to me and your
mother's marriage! If she wasn't a police officer, we would still be married
right now," Fred explained. Emily laughed.

"So you are telling me that you only cheated on my mom because she was a cop."

"I had to, Emily."

"No dad, you didn't have to do anything." Emily walked away from Fred, but
he followed her.

"I don't want you to get hurt like your mom did." Emily turned around.

"I know there is a chance that I can get hurt on this job, but that's what happens and it's not going to stop me. Look at Bosco, he got hurt on the job, but that didn't stop him from coming back to force and now he is a detective. I don't care if you aren't happy for me."

"You are no daughter of mine. My daughter wouldn't become a cop. Don't you
remember what it was like growing up with a mom as a cop? You hate it, and now
you are going to do the same thing to your kids." Emily sighed.

"I know I hated it, but I'm not a kid anymore. Just leave!" Fred started to walk out of the hospital when he turned around.

"You aren't my daughter anymore. If anything you are more like Bosco's daughter than my
daughter!" Fred yelled as he walked out of the hospital. Bosco looked at Emily.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, "Emily replied.

"But I just remembered I need to call someone. I'll talk to you later," she said, as she hurried out of the hospital.

About half a hour later,

Bosco walked out of the hospital and saw Emily sitting on the bench outside
of the hospital with tears in her eyes.

"Em?" She looked up at him.

"What are you doing out here? You should be with mom," Emily spoke softly. Bosco sat down next to her.

"Emily, I know that your dad upset you and I'm so sorry. Just so you know you are like a daughter to me. I would be lucky to have a daughter like you. I'm proud of you, Emily," Bosco replied smiling. Emily looked at Bosco and gave him a slight smile.

"Thanks, I wasn't really upset about what he said. It's just that everything is going wrong right now. Jake broke up with me this afternoon... He knows that I am worried about my mom and he couldn't even wait until I got home. God. He did it over the phone."

"Well then when we get back to New York, I'm going to have to have a talk with that jagoff. I'll make him pay for hurting you," Bosco responded. Emily smiled slightly.

"Thanks, Bosco! I knew you would." Bosco hugged Emily.

"Your mom is going to be okay, Em. She'll wake up; I know it. She wouldn't leave us, especially not me. Seriously, can you see me looking after Michelle and Hannah on my own?" Bosco replied with a grin. Emily giggled.

"No, I can't."

"So did you call the school about your exam?" Bosco asked. Emily nodded.

"They weren't happy that I couldn't take it, now. They said that
they would see if I could later, if not they said that I have to do it next
semester."

"Emily, go and do it. Faith would want you to. You can come back as soon as
you finish it, but I know your mom wouldn't want you to not do it."

"I don't know.."

"Just think about it," Bosco replied. She smiled.

"Thanks. You know Hannah and Michelle are very lucky to have you as their father." Bosco hugged Emily.

"I'm always here for you too, Emily."

The next day, Bosco was walked into the hospital with Hannah, Michelle and Charlie when he
heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Susan standing in
front of him.

"Bosco, how are you? I'm surprised that you are out of Faith's
room," she said with a smile.

"I took the girls out for lunch. I hate leaving Faith, but I wanted to spend some time with my girls," he said. She looked at the two girls holding
Bosco's hand.

"Hey Hannah and Michelle, did you have fun with daddy?" Susan asked as she
knelt down. They both smiled.

"Daddy... ice cream."

"You had ice cream? Yummy. I have a daughter like you.. expect she is younger than you."

"Baby?" Michelle asked.

"Yes, she is a baby," Susan said, with this smile on her face.

"Her name is Lia."

"Li..." Susan smiled at Michelle trying to say her daughter's name. She turned to
Bosco.

"My husband is going to be bringing the kids by soon and I am taking
them to the park. I was wondering if Hannah and Michelle would like to
come," she said as they walked into the lounge. She opened her locker and
got her jacket out.

"Thanks, but I think I'd rather have the kids be with me."

"They are safe with me," Susan laughed.

"I know they are, but I guess since Faith's been in her coma, I've been very
protective of them."

"I understand, Bosco. I'm the same way with my kids. "

"Bosco, I think it would do them great to be with other kids," Charlie
replied, "I can go there if that make you feel better."

"Okay Charlie.. that sounds a good idea." Bosco turned to Susan.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just Hannah and Michelle don't know you that
well," Bosco replied as they walked out of the lounge. Susan nodded.

"I understand," Susan replied, as a man coming up to her with a baby in his
arms.

"Chuck," she said with a smile on her face. "Where's Cosmo?"

"He's with Uncle Carter." Susan nodded.

"I would like you to meet the husband of the patient I was telling you
about, Maurice Boscorelli," Susan responded. Bosco shakes Chuck's hand.

"I'm sorry to hear about your wife; I hope she gets better soon." Bosco
nodded his head.

"Thank you."

"This cute one must be Lia." Bosco replied. Lia started to giggle.

"It looks like Lia likes you," Chuck replied, "She doesn't like many strangers."

"Well, I have that effect on women not girls," Bosco laughed.

"Well Lia must know what a great guy you are," Susan said, smiling.

"Daddy…" Michelle asked, as he took her out of the stroller.

"This is Susan's daughter, Lia."

" Li.. hi."

"Michelle, honey, she is a baby, so she won't talk back to you yet," Bosco told
Michelle.

"You are going to go to the park with Susan and her kids."

"No.. stay with daddy." Michelle put her head on Bosco's shoulder.

"Stay…" Bosco wasn't going to make his daughter go somewhere where she didn't want
to go.

"It's fine. You can stay with me."

"Go!" Hannah replied. Charlie kneels down next to Hannah.

"You can come with me to the park, and daddy will stay here with Michelle." Carter then came up to them with Cosmo.

"Susan.. I think we have a future doctor here," Carter said, laughing.

"Did Cosmo want to see your stethescope again?" Susan asked.
Carter smiled.

"Yeah, but it's fine. You are going to make a great doctor, Cosmo."

"Are you all going somewhere?" Carter said, laughing.

"Park." Hannah replied.

"I fly!" Carter kneels down to Hannah.

"Fly as fast as you can, until you touch the sky."

"Touch sky.. " Hannah said, as she started to cry.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Charlie grabbed a hold of Michelle and put her back in the stroller, so
Bosco could take a hold of Hannah.

"Hannah, don't cry," Bosco replied, as he held onto her, and stroked her
hair.

"Hannah, Dr. Carter didn't mean that you would touch the sky, he just
meant that it would feel like a bird." Bosco started to move his arms like a bird.

"I'm a bird."

"Daddy.. you no bird.." Hannah said, as her tears started to stop and
she had a smile on her face.

"Okay now?" Bosco asked. She put her arms around him.

"Love you."

"Love you, sweetie. Now go with Charlie, so you can go to the park together,
and you have fun." Charlie grabbed a hold of Hannah.

"Come on. Let's go." Bosco took Michelle out of the stroller and held her as they waved
goodbye to everybody as they left the hospital. Carter looked at Bosco.

"I'm sorry about upsetting your daughter."

"Don't worry about it." Bosco replied. Bosco then whispered to Michelle.

"Guess where we are going right now?"

"Mommy.."

A hour later, Bosco was sitting with Michelle talking to Faith.

"Faith, I can't do this anymore! You've got to wake up. I need you; the kids need you." He looked at Michelle and saw that she was asleep in his arms. He touched her hair.

"Your mommy needs to wake up now." He grabbed a hold of Faith's hand.

"I'm lost without you, Faith. Please come back to me."

"B..o..s" said a voice quietly. He looked up and saw that Faith was awake.
He couldn't believe his eyes! Everything was going to be okay.

"Faith.. you are awake.." He stood up and run outside of the room.

"Call the doctor! My wife is awake!"
