As alway As always i dont own anything. This story was inspired by a friend that i work with. His daughter Annie is now 11. am this did happen to him and her.

=====================================================

Bosco was woken up by his alarm. It was 8 am. He decied to take a shower and get ready before he woke up the kids. After his shower he looked out
side at how nice of a day it was so he decided to wear his NYPD track pants. His NYPD tank top. And then toped it all of with his NYPD hat which he place on backwords. He then put on his black nike's and went in to wake
up Charlie and Annie.

"Hey guys. time to get up." Bosco said placing a hand on annies back
shaking her softly.

"Just a little while longer please. " Charlie said shifting over to his
other side away from the light.

"Come on we are going to the zoo today." Bosco said cherfully..

"Charlie get up. That means that we get to go out to breakfast first."Annie said jumping out of bed to go change in the bath room. Breakfast and the
zoo was a tradition bosco started with her since she was 5.

"Only if i get to pick the place." Charlie said knowing what annies
favorite place was.

"Sure. how about we see if your mom and emily want to join us."Bosco asked.

"Can I call her?" Charlie asked opening his eyes to look at bosco.

"Just dont fight with her. please." Bosco said with pleading eyes.

"O.K. I wont." charlie said getting up and going out into the living room.

Bosco kept annie away from the living room. so charlie can talk to him mom.
Bosco was smiling to him self when Annie came into his room. She was wearing the same thing as bosco. He loved it when she matched him. It made
him feel like he was still styling..

Faith was waken by the phone ringing. She looked at the caller id and saw
that it was bosco. she sat up and answered it.

"Hey Baby!" Faith said softly in to the phone.

"Mom. How did you know it was me?" Charlie asked qquitetly.

"Cause bosco said he would have you call in the morning." Faith said
quickly to cover up that she ment that to be for bosco.

"Ohh. O.K. I was calling to tell you that I'm sorry about last night. I hope that you will talk to me later about it before you punish me." Charlie
said softly.

"Sure. We can talk later. is anyone else up there?" Faith asked.

"Yeah. We are alll going to go get some breakfast and bosco wanted to see
if you and emily wanted to come with us." charlie said happily.

"Can i talk to him?"Faith asked. she was up set at bosco already for buying a family membership to the zoo for her and the kids. she wasnt going to let
him buy them breakfast as well.

"Sure let me get him." Charlie said as he walked back to find him.

"Mom wants to talk to you." Charlie said handing bosco the phone.

"Did you tell her something to make her mad at me?" Bosco asked in a
whisper.

Charlie shook his head no and then went in to annies room to borrow some
clothes.

"Hey Beautiful" Bosco siad after he was out of ear shot of the kids.

"Hey. So what is this that you want to go to breakfast?" Faith asked in a
tone that told bosco she was up for a fight.

"I'm hungery. the kids are hungery and unless you ate already your hungery.
so i thought that i would let you guys in on mine and annies tradition.
Breakfast and then the zoo." Bosco said in the same tone.

"Fine but im buying." Faith said with a glare that bosco could tell just
over the phone.

"No. This is my day to spoil you and the kids. You are not going to buy anything. I am going to pamper you today. no arguing with me. you are not talking me out of this." Bosco said firmly in his your never going to win
voice.

"All right but you dont have to." Faith said softly.feeling bad that he
wont ever let her treat him.

"I know i dont have to but i want to." Bosco said firmly.

"All right. when are you going to be here?" Faith asked.

"About 10 minuets." Bosco said. they said good by and then faith rushed to
get ready and wake emily up.

"Come on lets go pick up faith and emily and then we will get something to eat. no more candy youll rune your apatite."Bosco said talking the box of
chocolates from them.

They got into the car and went to faiths. they picked her and emily up then
went to breakfast. after that they all went to the zoo. everyone was
wearing nypd shirts, hats and pants or shorts. Faith had on shorts that
said nypd on her ass. bosco always loved them but never would admit it.

at the zoo the kids were walking a head and bosco took this as his chance
to tell faith about his talk wiht charlie.

"Charlie had a night mere last night." Bosco said getting her attention.

"What was it about?" Faith asked hating when he had one and she wasnt
around.

"The accident. He hit me."Bosco said pointing out where the light bruize
started to form on his cheek.

"Oh my gosh. why did he do that." Faith asked apologizing.

"Dont worrie about it. HE was still a sleep. he didnt know what he was
doing. once he woke up we talked and it ok now." Bosco said.

"What did you talk to him about if you dont mind me asking." Faith asked
quitely.

"The accident. him and school."Bosco said plainly still hurt that she told
him not to ask him for anything.

"Thanks you didnt have ot thought."Faith said taking my hand in hers.

"I know. sit." Bosco said softly leading them towards a bench.

"Whats up bosco?" Faith asked .

"Charlies said something last night that hurt me pretty bad and we need to
talk about it. I cnat keep it bottled up. not this time." Bosco said
bluntly.

"O.K. Go on." Faith encouraged knowing that this must be big for him to
come out with out her proding.

"We were talking about his school problems being steamed from his games and no one showing up. when i told him i would come and see about helping out
with his team he told me that you told him not to ask me and that i was
busy." Bosco told her looking at the ground.

"HE told you that?" Faith asked kind of mad.

"Yeah. I Am never to busy for any of you three. You guys are my life besides annie. There is no way i could have kept her if it werent for you. I know im not what you want in a boyfriend. but i do want to and will help
you with the kids." Bosco said as tears feel down his cheeks.

"WOHH wait a minute. what made you think that i didnt think you were good enough for me. I know that having one kid is hard enough on you i cant ask
you to give up your life for me and my kids."Faith said softly.

"My life is annie you and your kids. there hasnt been another women since I
got annie. you know that. I have been waiting for you to be ready. Then when i think we are starting to get some where you back away." Bosco said
still stearing at the ground.

"Bosco." Was all that faith could say before she started to cry.

"Damnit faith. I love you. I cant handle all of this teasing anymore. I will always be here for you and your kids but you need to make up your mind and quit playing with my emotions." Bosco said geting up wiping his face
and walking to catch up with the kids.

Faith sat there stunned she didnt realize that he loved her. sure he has said it here or there but she never thought he ment it more then a friend or stand in father once in a while. she then started remembering the first
time he told her.

***Flash back***

Faith had just gotten home from picking up the kids from her mothers. when
she walked in the door the phone was ringing.

"Hello." Faith answered quitly trying not to wake a sleeping charlie in her
arms.

"Faith. It's me. I cant get her to calm down. she has a fever and has been crying for the past 2 hours. I cant get a hold of mom and dont know what to
do." Bosco was crying he didnt like not being able to calm her.

"Let me see if the neighbor can come over here and then i will come
over."Faith said laying chralie down in his bed.

"I'm in the car wiht her. can i just come to you?" bosco asked. he was
about a block away.

"Sure I'll leave the door unlocked. im going to take a quick shower." Faith
said and then they hung up.

Bosco pulled up infornt of faiths apartment and got out. he grabed the
diper bag and the baby then went in to her building and up to her
apartment.

Faith had just steped out of the shower when she heard the baby crying in the living room.she wraped her robe around her self and then went out to
see what she could do.

"Hey. you look beautiful tonight." Bosco said noticing how she looked with
her wet hair and all.

"Thanks. Here let me see her." Faith said taking the baby from him.

Faith took all of the blankets off of her and then took off the babys perjamas. she then opend her robe a little and let the baby cuddle to her
skin. Annie stoped crying almost intently.

"Hey no fair. Where did you find the off switch?" Bosco asked jokingly. "If
i would have known that would stop her i would have found a half naked
woman before."

"Funny. I use to do this with the kids when they were sick and it worked
every time. here take you shirt off." Faith said looking at him.

"What?" Bosco asked not sure he heared her right.

"Take you shirt off so she can get use to skin contact wiht you and so i
can go finish getting dressed." Faith said pulling at his shirt.

Bosco took his shirt off and faith gasped. she never really looked at his
well defined chest that clost before.

"Get comfortable."Faith told him.

He half laid half sat in the corner of her couch and then she handed him Annie. she fussed for a few seconds and then laid her head in the crook or
his neck and went back to sleep.

Faith went in to her room and then came out about 5 minutes later. bosco
had turned on the tv and half way covered them with a blanket.

"I didnt want to cover her to much. but i was getting cold." Bosco said at
seeing faith watching him from the door way.

"Thats ok."Faith said adjusting her self at the other end of the couch. she was a little cold also but the blanket wouldnt cover her.so she started to
get up to get one before bosco spoke again.

"Here. sit here and then we can share it." Bosco said shifting to make room
for faith next to him on the couch.

"Thanks." Faith said getting comfortable. They have sat like this many
nights watching Annie sleep.

"Thank you for helping me. I didnt know what to do."Bosco said kissing her
forhead and then looking back at the tv.

"Sure. Not a problem. you know im always here to help." Faith said
nuzzleing closer to him.

"I'm always her for you and the kids as well.."Bosco said.

a little while later bosco realized that faith had fallen asleep. he didnt want to mover her or risk annie waking back up so he shifted a little more,
covered them up better then kissed her forhead again.

"Night Faith. I love you." Bosco said and with that he tried to fall
asleep..
