Chapter 2

For the past few hours, I have been looking over the files on the guy that we are trying to catch, but he is just not doing anything that could help us break the case. It was starting to wear me out. Every time there is a case about teenagers, I always think about my kids, even though they aren't teenagers, I guess that's what moms do.

"Faith, you should forget about this tonight and go home to your wonderful husband or I will," Faith's partner, Julie King replied with a laugh.

I smile at Julie; she has been my partner for the last two years. The first time she met Bosco, she didn't know that he was my husband and she told to me that she was going to go ask him out on a date. You should have seen her face when I introduce Bosco as my husband, her face went bright red.

"No Julie, I don't need you going home to Bosco. I think I will," I say with a smile.

Suddenly the telephone rang.

"Detective Faith Boscorelli," I say as I pick up the phone.

"Hi Faith, it's Monica, we were all wondering if you want to meet for some drinks at Haggertys in an hour."

"Well," I said, as I looked at the files sitting on my desk. "I really don't know if I can make it tonight."

Julie grabbed the phone. "She'll be there, Monica."

I looked at her, annoyed.

"Why did you do that?" I said when Julie hung up the phone.

"You can't stay here all night!" Julie replied.

"I won't."

"No you'll just take it home with you" Julie said.

She then grabbed the files. "You're finished for the night."

"Julie, I'm the senior detective here, I tell you what to do."

"I don't think, Faith." Julie said, as she grabbed Faith's jacket.

"Come on. We're going to go and have some fun. You deserve it."

I sighed; I knew there was nothing I could do.

"Fine, but I'm taking the files home with me."

Julie laughed. "I don't think so," She said, as she grabbed the files, and walked out of the door with them.

As Julie and I walked into Haggertys and I saw Sasha waving at me. I smiled at her, as I walked over to the table; everybody was there, Grace, Holly, Monica and Kim.

"Faith!" everybody said, as I sat down on the chair. "We didn't think that you were going to show up."

"Well I made her come." Julie said, as she sat down.

"Good for you, Julie." Sasha said with a smile, as she got up and went to get the drinks.

I turned to Kim. "So how are Joey and his new girlfriend doing?"

"Which one?" Kim said, with a smile. "I think he dates a new girl every week."

"He must take after his dad." Sasha said with a smile, as she came back to the table.

"Oh he does." Kim said. "No wonder I am stressed every time Joey goes on a date. At least I don't have to worry about Bobby going on any dates yet?"

"How did you do it, Faith?"

I smiled at Kim. "I really don't know. I still worry about them like anything, even though they aren't kids anymore."

"They will always be our kids, even though when they are all grow up," Kim said with a smile.

I then turned to Sasha. "So how are the twins?"

"They are great; Ty still has trouble picking them apart from each other."

"I do not." said a voice. They all turned around and saw Ty, Bosco, Carlos, Sully, Brendan, and Jimmy standing in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Sasha said. "I thought I told you that it was a girl's night out."

"Did you really think I was going to let you have a night away from the twins without me?" Ty said, as he walked up to Sasha and leaned over and kissed her. She smiled at him.

"Fine, you all can stay."

Bosco walked up to me. "Of course we are staying, there is no way you can get rid of us," he said, as he put his arms around me. I turned to him, and leaned over and kissed him. "I would never want to get rid of you."

"I hope not." Bosco said, as he walked over to the table and grabbed a chair. Sully, Ty and the rest of the guys got some chairs and then sat down.

"There goes our girl's night." Monica said, as she looked at Sully. Sully put his arms around Monica. "You would have missed me tonight."

"I live with you. I don't think I would you for a few hours." Monica said, as she leaned over and kissed Sully. I smiled at Sully and Monica. It was so great to see them so happy and in
love, if anybody deserve it, it was definitely Sully. He had been through a lot, but if you looked at the whole table, all of us have been through a lot over the many years, but we made it out stronger than ever.

"So who's looking after the twins?" Sully asked. "Normally it's me who looks after them."

"My mom." Ty said. "She has wanted to see them for a while now, but Uncle Sully is always with them when we go out."

"I just love so much them, "Sully said with a smile. Jimmy removed his arm from around Kim's shoulder and looking from Bosco to me.

"I know we've had this conversation a million times...but when are we gonna be blessed with a mini Boscorelli?"

"We already have a mini Boscorelli," Davis added, a smirk spreading across his face as he looked at Bosco.

"Nice one, "Bosco said. Ty then got up and went over to the bar to get everybody more drinks, so Bosco walked up to Ty.

"My boss told that you and Finney want to talk to me because you need an officer for something, but he didn't say what."

"We're not talking about work tonight, Bosco."

"But can't you just tell me what you need to say to me." Bosco asked. "It saves me calling you later."

"Not tonight. Call me tomorrow." Ty said, as he walked away from Bosco.

Bosco sighed. "Fine, I'll wait."

I watched Bosco and Ty talking to each other at the bar. It looked pretty serious: whatever they were talking about.

"You can't stop talking about work can you, Boz?" I said, as he came up to me.

"You are the one to talk," Bosco said, as he put his arms around my waist.

"You always bring your work home with you."

"I guess you could say we are workaholics." I said, as I leaned over and kissed Bosco.

We then walked back to the table where everybody had got their pictures out of their kids. Kim looked at me, as we sat down, she was about to say something, when I turned to her.

"I've heard enough today about me and Bosco having kids."

"I wasn't going to say that Faith I was just going to say this is at Bobby's birthday, " Kim said, smiling at me.

I grinned at her. "Sorry, I just thought that you were going to say."

"I know, you must get tired of us saying this, but we just think that you and Bosco are going to make great parents. I know that you have two kids already."

Bosco looked at me. "How about me and the rest of the guys go play pool."

"No, Boz, it's fine." I said, as I grabbed a hold of his hand. I really didn't want to talk about this.

Bosco smiled as he kissed me.

"It's fine. I'll be back soon." he said, as he and the rest of the guys left the table. I smile at everybody.

"So where were we?" Kim said.

A hour later,

I walked up to Bosco, and put my arms around his waist and leaned over and
kissed his neck.

He turned to me. "I love you, Faith, but if you don't stop doing that, you are going to make me lose all my money."

"You mean our money."

Bosco turned around and smiled at me. "Of course Faith, I mean our money."

"Well then, you better not lose, but when you are finish, I think it is time to go home." I said.

Ty grinned at Bosco. "Your wife is telling you it's time to go, you better go."

"And your wife wants to go home too." Sasha said, as she walked up beside Ty.

"You know tonight will be the first time since the twins were born that we have time alone. Do you really want to stay here with Bosco, when you can be with me?"

Ty smiled at Sasha. "Well, you don't want me to lose, do you?" Sasha smiled as she looked at me. "What are we going to do with them?"

"I don't know. We love them, so we have to put up with them, I guess," I said, looking at Bosco, as he was playing. As I was watching Bosco play, I thought how lucky I was to have him. I smiled to myself, as I thought about Lieu's 56 birthday party and everything that happened that night, that change my life forever. It was right here where Bosco told me what he thought about me, and how upset I was about that, but if he hadn't done that. I don't know if we would have been married now, because we probably would have still hidden our feelings for each other.

I then felt a hand across my back. "I'm ready now." Bosco said.

I smiled. "It's about time. Did you at least win?"

"Of course I did, Faith, did you really think I wouldn't." Bosco said, as he leaned over and kissed me.

"Of course not, you always win." We then said goodbye to everybody and left the bar.

Later, I turned the light on as we walked into the apartment.

I turned to Bosco. "That was nice seeing everybody wasn't it?"

"It was, but I rather be alone with you." Bosco said, as he took off his jacket, and put his arms around me.

I smiled at him. "I rather be with just you too," I said, as I started to kiss him again.

A while later, I lay in Bosco's arms, with my head resting on his chest. I looked up at him,
with this smile on my face.

"You know Emily called me today, she wants to come over for dinner next week. I think she wants to bring her new boyfriend around for us to meet."

"You mean you haven't seen him before." Bosco said.

"She's not a little girl; I can't tell her who to date." I said, as I sat up.

"Well I sure can." Bosco said.

I smiled at Bosco, as he started to go on about how he needs to meet Emily's boyfriend first before they take her out on a date, if he hurts her, he will make sure that he pays. If you didn't know better you would think Emily was his real daughter instead of his step-daughter, but he always been like that even when he was just their Uncle Bosco. When everybody was talking about me and Bosco having our own kids. I keep on saying we don't know when, the
truth is that I'm not sure if I want more kids, I'm not as young as I use to be.

But that's not to say that I don't dream about having kids with Bosco,
having a little Boscorelli running around the room, acting like their dad.

"What are you thinking about?" Bosco asked. I smiled at him. "You."

"I hope it was all good." Bosco said, as he put his arms around me.

I smiled at him. "What would you say if it wasn't?"

"I guess I have to show you how much I love you then." he said.

I smiled at him. "You do."

"Yes I do…" he said, as he grabbed a hold of me and led me to the bedroom. "I love you, Boz."

"I love you too, Faith," he said, as he closed the door behind him.

Later that night, I was sleeping when I felt a hand around my back. I turned to Bosco.

"We can't be late for work again tomorrow."

"I'm always late for work, it doesn't matter." Bosco said.

I smiled at him. "Well it might not matter to you that you are late for work, but for me it does."

"You know I love you when you are like this." Bosco replied with a grin.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"When you are annoyed about something, and you get this look in your eye. You use to do that all the time when we were partners" Bosco explained.

"Maybe because you annoyed me all the time at work," I said.

"But you still love me?"

"I want to go back to sleep now." I said, as I lay my head on the pillow and tried to get some sleep.

Bosco put his arms around me. "Fine you can get some sleep. See you in the morning." Bosco said, as he started to kiss me on the neck.

"Stop doing that, or I won't want to go to sleep." I said, as I turned to Bosco.

Bosco smiled. "Can't I at least have one kiss?"

"Okay one kiss then we both need to go back to sleep," I said, as I moved closer to him, and leaned over and kissed him. Bosco smiled at me, as he put his head back on the pillow.

"Well I guess it is goodnight then." he said, as he started to close his eyes.

"Goodnight, Boz." I waited until I knew that Bosco was definitely asleep, before I leaned over
and kissed him.

"I still love you even though you annoy me sometimes," I said. Then I lay down next to him, and drifted off to sleep.
