*ANDDD I STILL DONT OEN ANYTHING. I DONT KNOW IF YOU GUYS LIKE THE STORY. IF YOU DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

"Hey. How is he mom?" Emily asked nervously.

"Well… his blood pressure finally stabilized and they just took him up for surgery. So, things are looking better now." Faith said with a forced smile trying to convince her daughter everything was okay.

"Have you heard anything about Davis?" the young officer asked

"Davis? Ty Davis?" faith asked in a slight panic

"Yeah he is in surgery too, ah we got a 10-13 call and Davis was hit. Bosco went to move him out of the hall when he seen the guy and he went after him. That's uhh, when he was shot." Price said hesitantly

"Oh God. No I haven't heard anything. But I'm sure they will come find you when he is out. Geez this is bad" Faith said, as she rubbed her face.

"Hey…mom?"Emily said sheepishly

"Yeah sweetie?" faith looked up at her teary eyed daughter.

She leaned over to her mother slowly "did you tell him you love him yet? He needs to know." She whispered.

"I I-uhh. Emily!" she said shocked

"Mom, Charlie and I have known for a long time that you love Bosco. We love him too. I'm not sure what actually happened with you two, but you need to fix it. He still loves you so much." she said matter of factly

"M'am." Price said sheepishly "I don't mean to eaves drop on your conversation and all, but he really does love you. He tried to find a girl to settle down with, but all her ever talks about or thinks about it you. I mean he raves about how great your kids are." Trying not to smile, price continued. "Shoot, we even go and see Emily every once and awhile on our lunch break, then for the next week that's all he can talk about." He finally cracked; he looked at Emily and smiled from ear to ear. Emily turned her head and blushed. She knew her mom would find out today.

Faith looked at both of them, stunned; she didn't know what to say. She didn't know whether to be mad at Emily or flattered that Matthew Price was telling her these things. She looked at Emily with a slight smile "Em, you still talk to Bosco? Why didn't you tell me?"

Emily knew she was caught now but her mom didn't seem angry. 'This isn't as bad as I thought it would be.' she thought to herself. She glanced at matt with a smile and looked back at her mom "I just though you would be mad if I talked to him, but it's Bosco. He's like our dad, but better. I didn't wanna lose him mom" she said as she twiddled her thumbs

"Em you know I would never tell you that you couldn't talk to Bosco, he's been a part of your life forever. Just because he and I haven't seen eye to eye in awhile, doesn't mean you can't still be around him. I know that you and Charlie love him." She said with a smile, but inside, her heart was breaking. "Just how much do you talk to him? And what do you two talk about?" faith asked, trying not to pry too much but she was curious.

"Well" Emily said, trying not to lie to her mother but also trying not to tell her the whole truth. "Me Charlie and Bosco go out to dinner once every two weeks, and sometimes him and matt will take us out to lunch on the weekends. We talk on the phone almost every day, I don't know about Charlie though. We helped him move into his new house awhile ago, about a month after dad died. It's a really big place, it's got four bedrooms. He even lets us stay over and stuff when we don't wanna stay at school. He'll come get us in the morning and we'll go out and then stay there then he'll take us back to the dorms. He helps us with school sometimes and, I don't mom. He just kind of is like a dad for us now."

Faith just shook her head. Confused by everything her daughter was saying to her. "You talk to him that much Em?" She asked confused. "A month after your father died? That was four years ago Emily. I didn't know that you were still that close with him. I'm so sorry"

"No Mom, I'm sorry. I knew you would be mad. We just missed him a lot. Ya know?" Knowing that her mother did Miss Bosco just as much as they did, Emily started to feel guilty about going behind her back and seeing him.

"Yeah baby, I know. I just wish you would've told me that you still talk to him. But I'm not mad Emily, I could never be mad at you for talking to Bosco. He's Family. He will always be there for you and Charlie, and I'm glad he has been there for you. Because I know I haven't always been there." Faith went over to Emily and hugged her tightly, knowing that she was just as worried about Bosco. "I love you Em."

Emily felt her mother's warm tears on her cheek and started to cry too. "I love you too Mom. Bosco's going to be okay."

The three of them sat in the lounge together just talking about how Bosco and telling each other that he is strong and that he will make it. Faith stood up every once and awhile and paced the room. They were all starting to get a little impatient. Four hours have passed and worry was starting to set in. they haven't heard anything yet and that was unusual. Many officers came in the room periodically to see if they had heard anything. But no doctors came in. Another hour passed and Emily was asleep on the couch and Matt had just gone down to the cafeteria to get them all something to eat. The door opened and Doctor Roberts walked in.

"Faith." He said quietly, trying not to wake up Emily.

She nodded her head and quickly walked toward him. "How is he Doc?"

"We managed to remove both bullets and repair the damaged artery; we also fixed his punctured lung. We have him on a ventilator so he's not over working his lungs. So he will not be able to talk. He is heavily sedated and will not be awake for a little while. We will have to keep him here for a few days and when we do release him, he is going to need to have someone stay with him for a week after he is home. I cannot let anyone into his room to see him for at least an hour. He needs to rest and if someone is in there, he might get startled and try to talk and that will cause more damage to him." He said as he ran his hand through his hair. "So far, Officer Boscorelli is doing great. We had few complications while in surgery, but he pulled through. You have a fighter on your hands Faith." He said with a large smile. "I'll come back and tell you when you can go in and see him."

"Thank you so much Doc!" she shook his hand as a tear rolled down her cheek. He smiled and turned around to leave when faith remembered Davis was here too. "Doc?" she said quietly as he turned back to face her. "How is Lieutenant Davis doing?" He looked at his clip board then back up at faith.

"He is out of surgery, and he is doing well. He's awake right now. You can go and see him if you'd like." He said with a small smile, as she nodded back at him. "Let me get my daughter, and then you can show me his room?" she asked quietly as she moved towards Emily and woke her up. "Em, wake up sweetie, we are going to see Davis for a little bit, then we can go visit Bosco when he wakes up. Okay?" she said softly as Emily jumped up and wiped her eyes.

"Bosco's okay. Right?" She said as they exited the lounge and headed towards Ty's room.

"Yeah Em, He's going to be just fine." As faith smiled at Emily she knew that everything was really going to be okay. "Em, when we get into the room, I want you to say hi to Ty and then go back and find matt and tell him what's going on. Bring him back to Ty's room so he can wait with us to go see Bosco." Faith stated.

"Okay, I will. Is Ty going to be okay too?" she was worried about Ty too. He was also like family to her.

"Yeah Em, Ty is strong too. He'll be alright." Faith could tell that this was taking a lot out of Emily. She loved Bosco and Ty. She grew up around them. And man, she was really grown up. The finally reached Ty's room and Doctor Roberts let them go in alone. He said he'd come back and get them when they could go visit with Bosco. They both walked in the room. Davis was laying down watching the news. He looked good. Well, good for just being shot.

"Hey Ty." Faith said quietly as she approached his bed with Emily following right behind her. "How ya doin?" she asked forcing a half smile. She hated seeing anyone in the hospital, especially a friend of hers.

"Faith!" Ty exclaimed "I'm alright, ya know besides being shot." He laughed a little. "What are you doing here? How have you been?" he asked as he seen Emily standing behind her "Em! What's up kiddo, haven't seen you in a while. You came all the way out here to see me?" Laughing again "I'm flattered"

"Hey Uncle Ty!" Emily said as she walked over and gently gave him a hug "I missed you. I'm sorry I haven't called you in awhile. School has just been rough lately. Ya know?" she said with a big smile on her face.

"Em, I know you're busy. Bosco told me. But you still didn't tell me why you are here now. Shouldn't you be at school?" he asked with a very curious look.

"Well I came home last night to see my mom and hangout with her. But she was called down here cause Bosco got shot too and she had to come sign some papers and stuff." She said sadly and she played with the side rail on his bed.

"What? Bosco was shot?" he asked seriously as he looked at Faith.

"Yeah Ty, They got your 10-13 call and Bosco was trying to get you out of the way when he seen the guy and went in the room after him and he got shot three times. One was stopped by his vest." She looked up at Ty's sad expression and couldn't help but let a tear fall. "He just got out of surgery and we are waiting to be able to see him." She looked over at Emily who still looked very drained and sad. "Em, how about you go look for Matt. Bring him back here in a little while I talk to Ty and catch up a bit."

"alright." She hugged Ty before she left the room and headed out to find Matt.

"Damn Faith, I can't believe you're here right now. It's been awhile." He was happy to see her; they also haven't talked in awhile. Only a few months, but that was still too long. "So are you going to talk to Bosco?" he asked trying not to be too obvious.

"Yeah Ty. I have to. I've missed him so much, and I don't know what I would've done if he didn't make it through that surgery. I mean, I know we haven't talked in a long time. But knowing that I would never be able to talk to him again…" he stopped her before she could finish.

"Faith, He loves you. You need to hear him out. And you need to make him listen to you. It's not going to be easy. But… I'm tired of him trying to get information about you out of me." He smiled at her and took her hand "Everyone knows you two love each other. We always knew. Why neither of you made the attempt at telling each other is beyond me. But this has gone on for way too long. Just tell him." And with that faith smiled and nodded her head. She knew he was right. They are both just too stubborn.

"I know Ty. Thank you." They sat there for a little while longer until Emily and matt came back. Matt introduced himself to Ty and they all talked about what happened today. Faith was starting to get impatient. She just wanted to go see Bosco. It's been five years since she's spoken to him, now she can't wait another five minutes. Faith stood up and headed for the nurses' station.

"May I help you?" the nurse asked kindly

"Uhh, Yes can you page Doctor Roberts for me please?" faith asked trying to stay calm when inside she was freaking out.

"Yes I can, is everything alright M'am?" the nurse looked at her with a slight bit of concern.

"I just need to ask him a few questions. He said he would be back shortly, but that was over an hour ago." Now showing some of her urgency the nurse paged the doctor.

"He is in with a patient right now. So it might take him a little bit but then he'll be right down. You can take a seat if you'd like." The nurse trying to be as comforting as possible grabbed a chair for her.
