Chapter 4: A time for everything

Week 13

Cruz jiggled her leg impatiently, she was bored and Bosco had promised to take her out to supper and he was late. It didn't help that she was on the desk, it was incredibly boring. She'd also had to take a bunch of crap from Faith for being on the desk.

Finally Bosco showed up, she grabbed her coat and dragged him outside, not wanting to waste a minute. Bosco started the car "Where are we going?"

She didn't hesitate" My place"

He glanced over at her, but she wasn't paying attention. When they pulled up she led him up the stairs into her apartment.

"K, we have an hour, this has to be quick."

Bosco looked at her inquisitively.

She tugged at her top and he finally clued in; they weren't here to eat food at all.

He strolled over to her and helped her remove her top. She stripped down quickly and he stood a moment gazing at her. She still wasn't large, her curves were just move gentle and round, there was the slightest bit of a bump in her stomach.

She tore the clothes off of him and he pulled her close. He skin was still tight over her body, her muscles firm and he ran his hands over every one of them. His hand rested on her belly while the other one traversed the rest of her body.

As he fondled her breast her breathing became ragged and he half led her to the bedroom. She pulled him next to herself, closer than they'd been in a long time.

He pulled her into a kiss and she moaned softly into his mouth. He reached up, gently touching her chest. She shook with anticipation and he looked up at her for permission to enter her.

She nodded, barely able to control her own movements. He entered her quickly and she nearly screamed as she came. Her fingernails dug into his back as her fingers contracted and Bosco came quickly after she did. As he finished Cruz finally let out a soft scream collapsing against him.

When they were finished Cruz lay on the bed, her chest heaving with every breath. "Wow, thanks Bosco"

He started to laugh "No problem"

Cruz glanced at the clock "K we have to be back there in a half hour, hurry up and get dressed"

Cruz helped herself to a shower and they were ready to go. When they got back Cruz was still giddy, it wasn't everyday they went out for "supper" together. She strolled into the precinct, Bosco watching her every move.

She settled herself down behind the desk, a bright smile lighting up her face. When Bosco entered she winked at him and he smiled back. As soon as Bosco got into the car he knew he was dead.

Faith just stared "Uh…what was that?"

Bosco tried to look innocent "What?"

But Faith wasn't going to give up "You, Sergeant…what was that?"

Bosco flushed a little "Nothing" She wouldn't leave him alone and finally he lost it "Faith, shut up! We're going out again ok?"

She immediately backed off; "Ok, fine, not my decision to make"

Bosco sat in silence the rest of the night. He didn't feel it necessary to tell her about the baby just yet.

Week 16

Cruz pulled a jean jacket over the tight red T shirt. It was finally time for everyone at work to know about the baby.

When Bosco came to pick her up he grinned "You ready to show that baby?"

Cruz smiled back "It's telling me it wants to be shown"

Bosco smiled back and slipped his arm around her waist. Her stomach was finally showing, a little lump in front of her, but definitely noticeable and detectible as a pregnancy. She had hidden her stomach with big sweaters but she had decided that she was only going to get bigger so she might as well show her stomach now.

When they got to work she settled herself behind the desk, kissed Bosco quickly and got to work.

Monroe was the first one to notice, she came to pick up paperwork and stopped short "Uh Cruz, you pregnant?"

Cruz nodded "4 months"

Monroe hugged her gently "Wow, congratulations!"

Ty came up beside her "Wow, bun in the oven?"

Cruz laughed "Yup?"

Monroe smiled "Who's the father"

Cruz looked up "Bosco"

Monroe's smile grew "No way, you two parents, I cannot wait to see that. Not in a bad way"

Cruz nodded "I can't wait either!"

Monroe gave her one more hug before leaving.

Faith came up to the desk as soon as Monroe left. "You're pregnant?" She hissed.

Cruz nodded, pasting a sweet smile on her face, as if she could even care what Faith thought.

"With BOSCO?"

Cruz nodded, trying to keep herself from laughing. As Faith strode out the door Cruz couldn't help but feel sorry for Bosco, the poor boy was really going to catch it this time.
