Chapter 13
All the way back to her home, Faith couldn't stop thinking about what Bosco doing for her now.
"You know you didn't have to do anything for me."
"I wanted to." he said, as they parked the car. She then looked at her apartment. She couldn't go back there. There were too many bad memories. "I can't do this, Bosco." she said.
He looked at her. "Faith… we are just picking up some things here."
"Picking up?" she said, with this confused look on her face.
"You'll find out soon enough," he said. "Now close your eyes." he said, as he walked up to her apartment and grabbed the last of the boxes, and put them into his car. "Bosco… what are you doing?"
"Keep them close."
"Bosco…"
Bosco then looked at her. "You can open them.
She looked at him. "I don't see anything."
He smiled at her. "That's because we haven't got to your surprise yet."
She smiled. "Okay," she said, as they started to drive away.

When they got to the surprise, Bosco made Faith closed her eyes. She smiled at him. "How am I going to know where I'm going?"
"I'll be helping you." he said, as he grabbed her arm. "You trust me."
"Of course I do." she said, as he helped her up some stairs, and then towards a room. He opened the door, and then he smiled at her. "You can open them now."
She looked at the apartment that they were in. She didn't understand why they were here. "I don't get why we are here?" she asked.
"This is your place."
"My place?" Faith asked, with this confused look on her face. "What are you talking about?"
Bosco grabbed her hand. "I know that you wouldn't want to go back to your old apartment, so with the help of some of our friends, I was able to get this apartment ready for you."
"You did what?" she yelled. "How could you?"
He looked at her with this confused look on his face. "I just wanted to do something for you."
"Well you shouldn't have." Faith yelled, as she stormed out of the apartment. Sully and Lynn were walking through the door when they stopped Bosco.
"Did she not like the surprise?" Sully asked.
Bosco shakes his head. "She was mad at me."
Lynn laughed. "You probably don't understand why she is mad right?"
"I just wanted to do something for her. She has been through enough already. "
Lynn laughed. "You made that choice for her without asking her."
Bosco sighed. "That is what a surprise is" he said. "I just thought that…"
"Sometime you guys don't think before you do something."
Sully playfully hit Lynn in the arm. "I'm not like that."
"Of course not," she said, with a grin. Bosco then glanced at them. "Can you stay here while I go and find her?"
They nodded, as Bosco hurried out of the apartment.

Faith got out of the cab and walked towards the cemetery. She couldn't believe that she was here, but for some reason she found herself here. She walked up the stairs and walked up the graves.
She then kneeled down. "I'm sorry that I haven't been by to see you, both." she said. "I have wanted to come by for a long time, but I blamed myself for what happened to the two of you. It should have been me that die first, not my kids." Faith said, as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
"I miss the two of you so much, I want you here with me again. " Faith said, as she wiped away her tears. She then touched Emily's grave. "Can you believe that Bosco thought it would be best for me to leave the apartment? I'm so mad at him, he's just like John, he wants me to forget about you two."
"He was only thinking of you," said a voice. Faith turned around and saw Emily and Charlie standing in front of her. She can't be seeing them, they are dead.
"This is not real." Faith replied.
Emily looked at her mom. "Don't blame yourself for what happened to us, it was nothing that you could have done. Don't be mad at Bosco, he just wanted you to feel safe. That is where some bad things happened, mom. Do you really want to stay where you were hurt? He loves you mom, he just wants you to feel safe. Why won't you let him?"
"I don't want to forget about you both."
Charlie looked at his mom. "You'll never forget about us, we will always be in your heart."
"We love you mom, let go of the guilt. We don't blame you. So don't blame yourself. Get on with your life."
Emily smiled at Faith. "I always knew that Bosco was going to save you."
Faith looked at Emily with this confused look. "You mean you know everything that has happened?"
"We watch over you, mom. You're not alone. "Charlie replied.
"You have us watching you, but we can't watch you all the time, that's what Bosco is there for. You're never going to be alone again, mom, not now that you are have him in your life again. He's never going to let you go. I know that he loves you more than a friend. You need to let him into the wall that you built up since our death. We know that you love him too. Just tell him."
Then Fred walked up to them. "Emily and Charlie it's time to go now." Fred said.
"Take good care of them, Fred." Faith said
"I will." Fred said, as he and Emily and Charlie started to disappear.
"We love you, mom." Emily and Charlie both said before they disappeared. Faith then felt a hand on her shoulder. "Em." she said, as she turned around and saw Bosco. She was shocked to see him here. "How did you know that I would be here?"
Bosco walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Good guess."
He then looked at her. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be, Bos. I'm the one that should be sorry. You tried to do something nice for me, and I was just scared.
He touched her face. " Scared?"
"Scared of forgetting my kids if I move somewhere else. I knew that I couldn't stay at my apartment yet, but I thought in a few days I could."
Bosco nodded. "I should have never assumed that you would want to move. I just wanted you to feel safe again, Faith. That's all I want for you."
She then leaned over and kissed Bosco. He looked at her with this confused look on her face.
"Faith."
She touched his face. "I don't want to hide anymore. You saved me when nobody else thought that I was alive. I love you; I need to be with you."
"You don't mean that."
She nodded. "I do. I'm just not sure if you want to be with me." Faith replied.
He looked at her. He has loved her for a long time, but it wasn't until she got kidnapped that he realizes how much he did.
"I'm not your type."
Faith laughed, as she put her arms around him. "Is that your way to say that you don't feel anything romantic towards me?"
"I didn't say that, Faith. I just don't want to hurt you." Bosco said, looking at Faith with this concerned look on his face. "You have been through so much lately. I don't want you to get hurt. You know how I am with women."
She grabbed a hold of his hands. "Do you love me, Bosco?"
"It doesn't matter."
"To me it does, Bosco. I know that you will never hurt me. Yes you aren't the committing type, but I'm not asking for that right now, I'm asking do you love me, like I love you."
Bosco looked into her eyes, and touched her face, and leaned over and kissed her. "Does that answer your question?"
"Bosco." Faith said, with this serious look on her face.
He looked at her. "Yes, I love you too, Faith. I have for a very long time."
"Was that hard?" Faith asked. "Now let's go back to my new place."
"Shouldn't we going out on a date before you take me back to your place?" Faith playfully hit Bosco in the shoulder. "Very funny."

When they returned to Faith's new place, Sully and Lynn were still there.
Lynn turned to Faith. "I see that everything is alright now" she said, looking at Bosco and Faith who had their arms around each other.
"Is there something you're not telling us?" Lynn questioned.
Faith smiled at Lynn. "What are you talking about?" she said, looking at Bosco, and smiled.
Lynn laughed. "I know that smile. That is the same way that I looked when I saw Sully the first time."
Sully smiled as he put his arms around Lynn. "They are in love." Lynn replied with this big smile on her face.
Sully looked at Lynn with this confused look on her face. "You are saying that Bosco and Faith are in love."
Bosco and Faith looked at each other and smiled. "Everybody will find out soon enough," Faith replied. "Yes Bosco and I are together."
Sully looked at him with this shocked look on his face. "I never thought I would hear that, but if anybody deserves this, it is the both of you."
Faith smiled at Sully. "Thank you."
Lyn then turned to Sully. "I think it is time for us to leave." She then turned to Faith. "The fridge is stocked with food. I mean food that us woman will eat, not what men think it is a healthy meal."
Faith laughed. "Thank you, Lynn." She said, as she hugged her. "So when are you going back to the cabin?" Faith asked Sully.
Sully turned to Lynn, and smiled, as he grabbed her hand. "I'm not going back; Lynn and I are moving here."
"That's great." Faith said. She could believe how happy Sully was, she was glad that he had finally met someone that was right for him.
Sully and Lynn then waved goodbye to Bosco and Faith.
Faith then turned to Bosco. "How were you able to do this?" They walked over to the couch and sat down. "When we found you and knew that you were going to okay, I knew I that there was no way that you could go back to that apartment. So I talk with Ty, Sully, Jeff, Sasha and some of the other officers with my idea, and they helped with everything. I just wanted you to feel safe, Faith. I know I should have talked to you about it."
Faith walked around the room. "No, Bosco, I like it. A new beginning," she said, as she walked back to him and put her arms around him. "A new beginning for both of us."
"So this was my surprise," Faith replied. "I never expected anything like this," she said, as she turned around and kissed him. "I guess if I'm going to be with you, I should get use to not knowing what to expect."
"You know exactly who I am, Faith."
"I do," Faith replied. "And that is why I love you." she said, as he wrapped his arms tightly around her.
Later that day,
"So do you think you like this place?" Sully asked Lynn as they walked into the apartment. This was the third apartment that they look at today.
Lynn walked around the apartment. She then walked back to Sully. "I think this is the place" she said, as she put her arms around him. The manager nodded, as they walked over into the kitchen where the papers were on the table. "Just sign here,"
Sully nodded, as they sign the papers. The manager then looked at them. "You can move in a week."
"Ty and Sasha are going to be happy to have us leave." Lynn replied.
S ully nodded. "Yes I think you are right." he said, as they headed out of the apartment, and walked towards Sully's car.
"Wait, John," Sully turned around. "Are you having second thoughts?" he asked. She shakes her head. "John from the first time I meet you, I knew that there was something about you that I like, but I never thought I would fall in love with you."
"Lynn."
"Let me finish," Lynn spoke softly. "I never thought that I would be able to feel this way again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that the woman normally doesn't do this, but I've already got through this once already, I wanted to do it this time. John Sullivan, will you do me the honor of become my husband?" she said, as she got down on her knees.
Sully looked at Lynn with this smile on her face. "Yes," he said, as he hugged her. She smiled at Sully. "I love you, John."
"I love you too."he said, as they headed towards the car.

A week later,
Bosco was sitting on the couch. "Are you sure you want to go back to work, Faith?"
She looked at him. "I have to; I can't let Greg ruin my life. He is in jail, he can't hurt me anymore."
"You have been through a lot, Faith. Just take some time off."
Faith put her arms around Bosco. "I know you are worried about me, but I'm going to be fine. So what are you going to do about work?"
"Actually I got an offer at your precient as a beat cop." Faith looked at him. "Got an offer, or did you asked?"
"I won't tell." Bosco said, with a laugh. There was a knock at the door. Bosco got up from the couch and opened it. "Jeff." Bosco said, as he hugged him.
"Where's that beautiful daughter of yours?" Faith said, as she walked up to them. Tracy walked into the apartment. "She's right here."
Jeff walked in. "I just wanted to come by and see you. I heard that you are coming back to work tomorrow. Are you sure you are ready?"
Faith looked at Jeff with this annoyed look on her face. "I already had Bosco asked me that. I'm not this fragile person."
"We never said that you were." Jeff replied. "We just care about you." Tracy nodded. "He just wants what is best for you. He feels that he should have protected you more."
"Tracy." Jeff shouted, looking at his wife with this mad look on his face, that she shouldn't have said that.
Faith smiled at Jeff. "Don't be mad at Tracy. She just wanted me to know. There was nothing you can have done to prevent what happened." she replied.
Jeff nodded. "But I was still your partner."
"You are a great partner." Faith replied. He smiled as he looked at Bosco and Faith. "I'm glad that you two finally decide to be together. Anybody can see that you two are in love."
Bosco winked at Faith.
Jeff then looked at them. "Why don't we go out for dinner?"
Faith grabbed her jacket, and keys. "Sounds great,"
Bosco looked at her. "I don't know..." She walked up to him. "We will have the rest of the night together, I promise," she whispered.
"Okay" Bosco said. "Let's go," he said, as they all headed out of the apartment.

A few months later,
It has been a few months since the kidnapping, and today was going to be the trial. Bosco looked at Faith, sitting on the bed. He was worried about her, but he wasn't going to say anything to her. He couldn't believe how much he loved being with just one woman. He never thought he would be like that, but that was before he was with Faith.
He walked over to her, and sat down next to her. "Are you okay?" She turned and looked at him." I'm fine," she said, as she stood up.
He grabbed her arm. "You don't need to be strong for me."
She looked at him. "It's nothing."
"We aren't just friends now, Faith. We are a couple. Don't lie to me."
She then put her arms around him. She cried. Bosco stroked her hair. "Shh, Faith, it's going to be okay. I promise you that. I'm going to be there for you."
"I'm not sure if I can do this, Bos," she said, as she looked up at him. They moved towards the bed, and Bosco grabbed her hand. "I know it is going to be hard for you to talk about it. Just look at me, and know that I'm there for support."
Faith moved closer to Bosco, as she put her head on his chest. "Thank you."
Glancing at her, he furrowed his brow. "For what?"
"For being there-" Swallowing hard, she continued. "For...being so amazing..."
"Don't even go there, Faith." he said. "You know you don't need to thank me...ever."
"Sure I do. I mean, no matter what, your there-"
He looked at her. "I always will be. I love you, Faith." he said, stroking her hair.
"I love you too."
Bosco leaned over and kissed her. She touched his face. "What… if I can't do this."
"Then you can't." Bosco responded. "Just do as best as you can do." She wrapped her arms around him. She didn't want to let go of his grip. She didn't want to have to face Greg. She was finally getting over the nightmare.
Faith then stood up and walked towards the bathroom to get ready.
"Sully said that he wants you to take the rest of the day off." Bosco replied, as he walked over to the bathroom. She looked at him. "I'm going to back to work after this, Sully can't tell me not to go back."
"Actually he can, Sully is our boss now." Bosco said, with a grin. "I still can't believe that Sully is back as a cop."
"Lynn told me that he just realize that he still wanted to be a cop. Although I think it has something to do with the wedding. Bosco nodded. "Can you believe Sully is getting married again? "
Faith smiled, as she wrapped her arms around him. "He finally found happiness." she said, as she kissed him. "Just like I have. " We better get going, or we are going to be late?" Bosco replied.
"Aren't you late all the time?" Faith asked.
Bosco nodded. "That's me. You are never late." he said, as he got his jacket on. She looked into the mirror, as she took a deep breath. I can do this, she thought to herself.
"Are you coming, Faith?"
"Yes, Bosco," she said, as she grabbed her jacket and they left the apartment.

Later,
"What does your client plead?" the judge asked Greg's lawyer. "He pleads not guilty."
"Not guilty….. " Faith yelled with rage in her voice. "That bastard kidnapped me! You're telling me that he is not guilty. I was there."
"Stop this, Ms. Mitchell, or I will have you kicked out of the courthouse. " But…."
Bosco grabbed a hold of Faith. "Faith, you need to calm down."
"You heard what he said."
Bosco stood up. "I'm going to take Ms. Mitchell outside for a bit." The judge nodded. Bosco grabbed Faith's arm and walked out of the courthouse.
"What were you thinking?" Bosco said. "You suppose to be the level headed one, not me."
She looked at him. "I saw the look in his eyes when he was talking, he thinks that the jury is going to believe that he didn't do this, and then he is going to come after me."
Bosco wrapped his arms around Faith. "He's not going to come after you. I promise you. He won't get away with this. The judge has the evidence. It's not just you that he kidnapped Faith, there were other woman, the judge will see what twisted man he is and will be send him to prison."
She looked up at him. "Thank you."
Bosco nodded. "Do you think you can go back?" he asked. She nodded. "I can." she said, as they went back into the courthouse.
888
Later that evening,
Bosco, Faith, Sully, Lynn, Ty and Sasha were having dinner. "How are you feeling?"Bosco asked. She smiled slightly. "I feel better now that I know Greg is going to spend the next twenty years in prison. This was the quickest trial I have been to."
Bosco smiled, as he grabbed her hand. "I'm just glad that this is all over for all of us," he said, as he looked at Ty, Sully and Sasha. "I want to thank you for everything that you did to help with finding Faith."
"That's what friends are for, but I think we need to meet more often not just when something bad happens." Sasha replied.
They all nodded.
Lynn put her arms around Sully. "A good occasion to get together would be our wedding."
Sully smiled. "But we still haven't set a date?"
"That's because you won't make a decision."
"We don't need to rush it."
She smiled at him. "I know we don't. I just can't wait to be your husband." Lynn said, grinning. Sully couldn't believe that he was getting married again. This time it was going to last.
"Come on, Sully. Make a date it's not that hard" Ty replied.
Sully looked at Lynn. "It is up to you."
"How about May 18?"
"That is 6 months away? Do you think you can do it by then?" Sully asked, as he grabbed her hand. She leaned over and kissed. "It's perfect. It's the day that I first meet you."
Sully looked at her, laughing. "You remember the day that we first meet?" She smiled. "Of course I do, I will never forget that day."
"Toast." Ty replied. "To new beginnings."
"New beginnings" they all said.
888
Later that night,
As Faith was lying in Bosco's arms, she felt safe and secure. "Bosco." she said, as she looked at him, and saw that he was sleeping now. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. She started to think about everything that happened all the last few years, and how she thought that her and Bosco would never be friends again, but now look at them they are more than friends, and she couldn't be happier. She then lay back next to him and flashed back to the kidnapping and how she felt so alone.
But now she realizes that she was never truly alone because she has Bosco, and she always will.
The End
