Past Infractions
Chapter FOUR-The Truth Will Only Hurt
The phone was ringing and Seajae couldn't bring herself to lift her head. A phone ringing before the sun rose was always bad news. Reaching under her pillow she pulled it out hoping Bosco was still sound asleep.
"Boscorelli."
"Seajae it's Elliot."
"Elliot it's three am here it better be good."
"The Italian Mob is asking questions."
"About?"
"The Boscorelli's."
"You've got to be kidding."
"Would I lie?"
"No. Not you Mr. Goody Goody. Shit." Seajae sat up. "Did anyone give them anything."
"They found out in an hour what IAD would of taken six months. That you and Bosco are so clean you sqeek."
"MMMM. So where are they off too now?"
"OCB thinks they're headed your way."
"Well we might have something for them. Have Akerman call me at a decent hour and then I'll fill you in on all the fun here."
"Typical day in the life of team Boscorelli?"
"That and then some. Call me later and please check on the Bar. All I need is that falling apart at the seems."
"We're all on it. Take it easy and we'll catch up later."
"Yeah. Take care Elliot."
"You to Seaj." She hung up the phone and turned over to see Bosco looking at her.
"Troble on the home front?"
"If you call the Italian mob looking for us trouble then yeah." Seajae snuggled closer to her husband. "You think your father was in deeper then we thought?"
"I think my father was in deeper then he thought he was. God Seajae if he's done something that puts you and the kids in harms way. I can't even kill the bastard because he's already dead." Bosco ran his hand down his wife's bear back. "God what was that man thinking."
"Aparently he wasn't to get Jordan and Baily involved."
"You think he's alright alone?"
"I told him just knock and we'd be there if he needed anything."
"You think we should find out if he found anthing more with the hacking he did into his mom's computer?"
"Maybe." Seajae ran her hand down her husbands chest. "Bosco?"
"What is it sweety?"
"I just want this to be all over but I kinda like having you all to myself for a few days. Even with your sixteen year old son in the next room."
"It's been a long time since we could snuggle and not worry about three litte angles coming in and waking us up. "
"Only Elliot."
"He does that at home."
"We're not going to start on this agian are we?" Bosco looked down at his wife. He was never really jelouse of any of her male friends till Elliot. They seemed to have a strange bond that rubbed him the wrong way.
"No. I just... forget it. Your right I should understand being that Faith and I have been so close over the years. I just........"
"You know something Bosco....I haven't thought about Elliot or anyother man in a sexual since the day I met you." She rolled her body on top of his. "I love you so much. Most days they only reason I get up in the morning is you and those kids of ours."
"I've given you so much reason for that to change."
"No. I never once doubted you loved me. Not even when you were gone for all the time. I love you Bosco. I have for the last eight years. Your the best thing that ever happened to me." She kissed him. "I love you Maurice Boscorelli." She kissed him again. "For better or worse. Long lost kids and family secrets. Whatever comes out way we will handle it." Bosco held his wife tightly and kissed her agian.
"I love you Seajae Boscorelli." He rolled her over and proved to her just how much he really did love her.
-------------------------
Seajae sat on the beach. She was more confused then ever about the things going on around her. Orginized crim had recieved more then one account of the back ground check the Italian Mob put out on the Boscorelli's. If Athony and Jordan owed them money it was one thing. Hell whatever Bosco's dad owed them she probably had it in her checking account. But if it warrented his murder and Jordan's, Seajae wondered how deep Anthony Boscorelli had been.
"You look like a woman who's thinking way to hard." TC Calloway sat down beside her and handed her a beer.
"Yeah I do that a lot." She took the beer and took a swig. "Thanks."
"Not a problem. You find anthing out today?"
"Just that my father in law is a bigger prick then I ever believed he could be." Thier we kids playing on the beach. TC watched the two sets of mirror images playing in the sand.
"I guess I should be thankful for mine then huh?"
"Yeah." One of the blond children ran up to them.
"Daddy is mommy home?"
"Yeah slugger. Tell your bothers to go wash up."
"Kay." The lilttle boy went running down the beach to the other three children.
"You have some good looking boys there TC."
"Thanks." Four boys went running up the path. The two older ones laughing and then running faster as a man appeared over the sand dune.
"Daddy!!" The two older boys flung themselfs at the man. Seajae looked over her sunglassed to see Bobby Cruz. She raised her eyebrows and looked at TC.
"Cory and Bobby had a thing before.......we got together. We were already dateing when she found out she was pregnat with Alex and Adain. We stayed together and Bobby has always been part of the boys life. They don't think anything of it. Sometimes I think Trent and Tommy wish Bobby was their dad too." TC laughed and took a swig of his beer. "This next one better be a girl so Cory can have her pink room and frilly dresses."
"Two sets of twins. Holy cow. I don't think I could handle that."
"The doctor and Cory have a strange feeling this one is either twins or a ten pound baby. He can only find one heartbeat and it always has it's back to the sonagram so we can't tell if its a girl or not." He smiled. "But he only heard on heart beat the last time too."
"Your an amazing man TC Calloway."
"Not as amazing as you. Three kids, a kick ass career and a rep that make most cops cringe."
"I don't share my kids with another woman."
"Who says. You accepted Baily without a second thought. And Hope. It's the same thing."
"Thier mother's are dead."
"Bobby is family."
"It's that easy for you?"
"It's that easy." Seajae watched as Baily and Bosco walk down the beach. The boy a few inches taller then his dad. "Somethings been eating away at you since you were at the crime scence. What is it?"
"You ever think about your first wife?"
"Chris......now and then. We're still on eachother's Christmas card list. She calls when she's in town."
"I never loved anyone before Bosco. I mean I never felt anything like I felt for him."
"And?"
"He had a child with another woman. Granted he didn't know it but if she hadn't had moved to L.A. how would things of turned out?"
"You'll never know that will you?"
"Do you think if Chris had been the wife you wanted you'd still be together?"
"You think if you'd given me your name that night I would of called you?" Seajae turned and looked at TC Calloway. There had been something in his eyes the day they met. Now she knew what it was.
"Terry....."
"Yeah."
"I was eighteen."
"I was in love."
"We knew eachother six hours."
"Six hours thirtyseven minuts thirteen seconds." Seajae laughed.
"I'd forgotten about those thirtyseven minutes and thirteen seconds."
"I guess that's why I've told you so much about my life the past couple of days. You always knew how to make a person open up."
"I guess that's what makes me a good cop."
"It can be our secret."
"It was a nice six hours and thirtyseven minutes."
"Don't forget the thirteen seconds." They both laughed and clanked thier beers together. Bosco and Baily came walking up the path.
"Something smells great." TC took another beer from the bucket he carred down and handed one to Bosco and a can of soda to Baily.
"I swear being pregnant makes Cory start nesting from conception. She remoldled the house when she was expecting Trent and Tommy. I must of gained as much wieght as she did. Every meal was three courses and fatting."
"And you loved it Terrence Charles Caloway." A very raidiant and very pregnant Cory Macnamara-Calloway stood at the bottom of the path. "Hi. You must be the Boscrelli's." She came up to them.
"Seajae, my husband Maurice, Bosco and his....son Baily." She reached out and shook thier hands.
"It's nice to meet you. Dinner's ready whenever you guys are. The boys already started but I think I convinced Bobby, Russ, and Jamie to wait for the grown ups." They all started walking up the path. Seajae stopped and looked at the scene in front of her. A perfectly set table, the tiki lamps and good friends. But something nagged at her, something she couldn't put her finger on.
"What's wrong?" Bosco came up behind her.
"Beats the hell out of me." Her stomach was in knots. She felt like she was going to throw up.
"Seajae?"
"I don't know. I feel funny."
"Funny ha ha or funny strange."
"Strange." She closed her eyes. Visions swirled around in her head. Visions of strangers and things she'd never experenced.. She swayed a little and Bosco grabbed her before she fell.
"Seajae!" The tone of Bosco's voice made the others turn around. TC was at her thier side.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. She was telling me she didn't feel right and she closed her eyes and passed out." Bosco felt her paulse. Her heart was racing a mile a minute. "Seajae baby come on wake up. Don't flake out on me now." Her eyes fluttered and opened.
"What happened?"
"You passed out."
"Wow that one beer really did me in." Slowly she sat up. "I sure know how to stop a party huh?" She looked at Bosco. "I hate to be a party pooper but I think I'll head back to the hotel."
"You not going any where sweety. Maybe if you have something to eat."
"I'll be fine." Bosco helped Seajae up. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened." Bosco sat her at the table.
"Tell me what happened?"
"I told you I'm fine. I was just felt funny. Maybe your right if I just eat something." Cory handed Bosco a plate. "Thanks Cory."
"No problem." She smiled. Baily sat down next to her.
"You sure your ok?" She looked at the boy.
"Your your father's son." Seajae took a bite of her chicken. "I'll be fine." But Seajae knew it wouldn't be ok. Nothing good came from her gift. It always ended up one big mess.
-------------------
"Your quiet." Bosco said as he drove back to the hotel.
"I need to go home."
"Seajae...."
"I need to be with the kids."
"The kids are fine. They have half the department looking after them."
"I want to go home now." Bosco knew it wasn't the time to pick a fight.
"Call Elliot. Have him check on the kids. Call Sully. Do what ever you need to make yourself feel better."
"I'll feel better when I'm at home with my kids." She wanted a cigarette and she wanted to see her babies.
"What about the things that need to be done here."
"You settle things here. I'm taking the next flight back to New York." She took her phone out and dialed the airport. "I need the next flight to JFK." Bosco pulled into the hotel parking lot and parked the car.
"Here." He handed Baily the key. "We'll be up in a minute." The boy got out of the car.
"Yeah." She looked at her watch. "Yeah I can be there." She hung up. "I got a flight at eleven."
"Seajae, don't do this." She got out of the car and lit a cigarette. "Seajae......"
"I need to see the kids."
"Call them Seajae. I need you here."
"We can't do anything here. Come home with me."
"Seajae I can't leave with things the way they are. You know as well as I do Baily needs closer."
"Baily or you." Seajae looked at her husband.
"Don't go there."
"You have no idea what your dad and Jordan were into." Seajae took a long drag of her cigarette. "It might be a long time before they clear this up."
"Seajea I need you here."
"Our kids need me more." She started walking up the stairs. "I'll take a cab to the airport." Bosco grabbed her arm.
"Seajae don't."
"Don't what?"
"Don't walk away from me."
"Then come home with me."
"You know I need to do this for Baily." Seajae looked at Bosco. She knew he was asking her to choose between his children.
"Then stay. Take care of things here. I'll be waiting. I'll have the guys get the room ready for Baily."
"Seajae......you know things happen. Things we can't control."
"I know where you going with this and.....I need to do this. I need to see that everything is how we left it." Taking a step down she ran her hand down Bosco's cheek. "I love you Maurice Boscorelli. I know that you need to be here as much as I need to be in New York."
"Things go wrong. Together we can make them right."
"Bosco I swear the plane won't get hijacked or crash."
"Then what did you see?"
"When?"
"I know you saw something when you passed out."
"I didn't see anything. It was dark. Dark in my book means trouble."
"What if the darkness is here?"
"Then TC and his guys will take care of it. I'm taking care of my own." Seajae tuned and headed up the steps.
"I'll take you to the airport." Seajae nodded and went to thier room. Baily was sitting on the bed.
"Your leaving?" He looked at her.
"I need to go home. You and your dad will be coming in a few days."
"Are you sure you want me to?"
"Of course Baily." Seajae sat next to him. "I never had a family growing up. They were killed when I was two. I didn't know much about family till I met your dad. Niether one of us knew how to be a family but your grandma helped me with that. Now the motto around our house is the more the merrier so of course we want you." She put his arm around him and gave him a sqeeze. "I'll be waiting for you along with your sisters and your brother and a whole bunch of people who what to meet you." Seajae stood up and started packing her bag.
"My mom told me that she didn't love my dad. That she only knew him a short time but she knew that he wasn't the marring kind." Seajae smiled.
"That was a long time ago. People change." Bosco came into the room.
"I'm bringing Seajae to the airport. You want to stay here or come with me.?"
"I'll tag along. Then you won't have to ride back alone." Seajae grabbed her bag and they headed back to the car.
---------------------------
Bosco pulled up to the entrence of the airport. He put the car in park and turned to his wife.
"You sure you want to do this?"
"I need to Bos." She leaned over and kissed him. "You take care of you dad Baily." Bosco came around and opened her door. She hugged him.
"You don't have to do this."
"Yes I do." Holding him tight. "We'll all be waiting for you."
"Promise?"
"You bet your ass I will promise." She pushed him away and picked up her bag. "I love you Maurice Boscorelli." She waved at Baily and headed into the terminal. She turned and waved one more time. The darkness was still there. It was in the back of her mind. Bosco didn't need to know about the darkness because by going home she would bring them all back into the light.
--------------------------
The sun was rising as the plane landed at JFK. Seajae shook of the wearness and stood up. No one knew she was coming. No one would be waiting for her. No one knew she was coming home. Hailing a cab she got in and gave the cabbie her address and settled in for the hour drive into the city.
"You look tired." Seajae looked up as the cabbie turned onto the though way. She was dark skined with a Jamacan accent.
"Long couple of days."
"Ah but things are going to get better. They always will."
"Yeah they do." Seajae watched the sunrise. Home was where she needed to be. That's all it was. She needed to be with her children. Her phone was ringing and she reached into her pocket.
"Boscorelli."
"You getting a tan yet?"
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Seven eighteen."
"Yeah, So what now?"
"The mob guys are getting hot and heavy."
"They heading west?"
"They want to know what Anthony Boscorelli was into in Cali."
"Any idea how much money he owed them?"
"You can't just go and write a check to the Itanlian Mob."
"I can try. This is my family's safty Elliot. If I have to find Don Giovoni myself I will put an end to this." The cab driver stopped in front of her building. "I'll call you later." She hung up and handed the woman some bills.
"You keep up what your doing sugar and all will be just fine." Seajae smiled.
"Thank you." She got out of the cab and stood in front of her building. It was quiet but she knew what seven o'clock on a Saturday brought. The twins woke up Faith and Calab. Soon they would be headed to breakfast with Charlie at the cafe on eight street. Jimmy would wake up with baby Sean and Ireland and let Kim sleep. Joey and Kelly will pack up baby Amber and head to see Kelly's sister in New Jersey. And she would send Sully and Tatianna and there kids home and take her kids to Albany and hide out with Mikey for a while. No one needed to know wat she feared. No one would understand. She took her keys out of her pocket and quietly made her way to her apartment.

"Your an amazing man TC Calloway."
"Not as amazing as you. Three kids, a kick ass career and a rep that make most cops cringe."

"I need to go home. You and your dad will be coming in a few days."
"Are you sure you want me to?"
"Of course Baily." Seajae sat next to him. "I never had a family growing up. They were killed when I was two. I didn't know much about family till I met your dad. Niether one of us knew how to be a family but your grandma helped me with that. Now the motto around our house is the more the merrier so of course we want you." She put his arm around him and gave him a sqeeze. "I'll be waiting for you along with your sisters and your brother and a whole bunch of people who what to meet you." Seajae stood up and started packing her bag.
"My mom told me that she didn't love my dad. That she only knew him a short time but she knew that he wasn't the marring kind." Seajae smiled.
"That was a long time ago. People change." Bosco came into the room.
"I'm bringing Seajae to the airport. You want to stay here or come with me.?"
"I'll tag along. Then you won't have to ride back alone." Seajae grabbed her bag and they headed back to the car.

Bosco pulled up to the entrence of the airport. He put the car in park and turned to his wife.
"You sure you want to do this?"
"I need to Bos." She leaned over and kissed him. "You take care of you dad Baily." Bosco came around and opened her door. She hugged him.
"You don't have to do this."
"Yes I do." Holding him tight. "We'll all be waiting for you."
"Promise?"
"You bet your ass I will promise." She pushed him away and picked up her bag. "I love you Maurice Boscorelli." She waved at Baily and headed into the terminal. She turned and waved one more time. The darkness was still there. It was in the back of her mind. Bosco didn't need to know about the darkness because by going home she would bring them all back into the light.

The sun was rising as the plane landed at JFK. Seajae shook of the wearness and stood up. No one knew she was coming. No one would be waiting for her. No one knew she was coming home. Hailing a cab she got in and gave the cabbie her address and settled in for the hour drive into the city.
"You look tired." Seajae looked up as the cabbie turned onto the though way. She was dark skined with a Jamacan accent.
"Long couple of days."
"Ah but things are going to get better. They always will."
"Yeah they do." Seajae watched the sunrise. Home was where she needed to be. That's all it was. She needed to be with her children. Her phone was ringing and she reached into her pocket.
"Boscorelli."
"You getting a tan yet?"
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Seven eighteen."
"Yeah, So what now?"
"The mob guys are getting hot and heavy."
"They heading west?"
"They want to know what Anthony Boscorelli was into in Cali."
"Any idea how much money he owed them?"
"You can't just go and write a check to the Itanlian Mob."
"I can try. This is my family's safty Elliot. If I have to find Don Giovoni myself I will put an end to this." The cab driver stopped in front of her building. "I'll call you later." She hung up and handed the woman some bills.
"You keep up what your doing sugar and all will be just fine." Seajae smiled.
"Thank you." She got out of the cab and stood in front of her building. It was quiet but she knew what seven o'clock on a Saturday brought. The twins woke up Faith and Calab. Soon they would be headed to breakfast with Charlie at the cafe on eight street. Jimmy would wake up with baby Sean and Ireland and let Kim sleep. Joey and Kelly will pack up baby Amber and head to see Kelly's sister in New Jersey. And she would send Sully and Tatianna and there kids home and take her kids to Albany and hide out with Mikey for a while. No one needed to know wat she feared. No one would understand. She took her keys out of her pocket and quietly made her way to her apartment.
