I STILL DO NOT OWN ANTHING OR ANYONE... THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS. PLEASE CONTINUE AND I WILL.

"Matt are you sure that the doctor said the east wing?"

"Ughhhh yeah I'm pretty sure Faith."

"I thought he said he was in the West wing."

"Well how about we just ask someone at the nurses' station so we don't continue to walk around aimlessly? He has already been alone now for two hours."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Geez mom you two are beginning to fight like you and Bosco used to." They both stopped and looked at Charlie and then started to laugh. They knew he was right. They headed back to the nurses' station to see where Bosco was

"Excuse me miss."

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me where Officer Boscorelli's room is?"

"Oh yes I can. Hold on for a moment please." All three of them nodded and stood for a few minutes while she looked for his chart. "Ahhh here it is. Officer Boscorelli has been moved to room 8 in the west wing."

"Thank you very much." They all turned and headed down the hall towards the west wing.

"See I told you." She said as she gently smacked Matt's arm

"It was an honest mistake." He began to laugh "At least we know where we are going now."

"Yeah yeah yeah." She said jokingly

"Hey I think this is it, over here" Charlie said in relief.

"The door is closed; I hope he's not sleeping." They all looked at each other wondering if they should go in or knock first.

"Maybe the doctor is in with him or something." Matt stated

"Well let's just knock. So if the doctor is in there he can tell us to wait, and if he is sleeping, we can just come back later or something."

"Sounds like a good idea Charlie." Faith said "let's just be quiet though." She knocked lightly hoping that she wouldn't wake him if he was sleeping. She Heard footsteps and knew that they weren't Bosco's. The door opened slowly and Emily was standing in front of them. She came out into the hallway and closed the door slightly. "Hey Em, What's goin on?"

"Dad's sleeping; he just fell asleep about 20 minutes ago. So I just wanted to tell you all to be quiet when you came in" she looked at the saddened look amongst their faces. "I'm sure he will be up soon."

"Oh. Alright."Charlie said with a hint of disappointment in his voice

"Where were you guys at? I've been here for two hours already. I figured you would've beaten me here." Emily asked a little concerned

"We were here, but we were waiting in his old room and the doctor finally came in a little bit ago to get Bosco's stuff and told us they moved him up here" Faith shook her head knowing she should've been here long before now "I'm sorry Em. Is he alright though?"

"Yeah he's doing okay, was just anxious to see all of you. So when he wakes up, he will be a lot happier." She smiled and opened the door again and quietly made her way in with everyone else behind her. She decided to sit on a folding chair and gave Matt and Charlie a chair as well. She left the recliner next to the bed for Faith to sit in. They all sat there in silence watching the TV for a little while when they heard another knock on the door. This time matt got up and opened it. Doctor Roberts walked in with a nurse behind him.

"Hey guys, I'm going to have to ask you all to move over to this side of the room." he gestured toward the door. "I have to wake up Maurice and try and get this brace fitted for him."

"Alright Doc, that's fine." They all took their chairs and placed them against the wall nearest the door and sat down. The doctor woke up Bosco and he was surprised to see everyone there. For a moment he thought he was still dreaming, he looked at them for a moment before he knew he was awake.

"Hey uhh Em, how long was I out for?"

"Not long, everyone just got here. Don't worry."

"You shouldn't have let me fall asleep. I didn't know you were going to have a party." He laughed a little.

"Sorry, you seemed pretty tired."

"It's okay. I guess I needed it. How's everyone doing?"

"Good. Just worried about you." Charlie stated

"Ahhh hey buddy, I didn't even see you over there. Don't worry about me, I'm gunna be fine. I'll be outta here in no time." He looked at the doctor with hopeful eyes.

"Yes he is." The doctor said happily "he should be outta here by Monday morning."

"Really?" faith said with a smile.

"Yep. We might even be able to get him out of here by tomorrow night. Depending on how this brace fits." The doctor could see how happy Bosco and everyone else in the room were at his statement. "He just has to stay with someone for about a week after we discharge him. If no one is available, we will have to put him in a rehabilitation home."

"Someone will stay with him Doc, don't worry." Faith said as she looked at Bosco as he began to smile. She knew he would hate to be put in a home.

"Okay then. Let's see how this brace fits officer." He put Bosco's bed up into a sitting position. This was the first time he has sat up since he was brought in. "now I need you to tell me if it hurts at any point. I trust you to do so officer. If you don't, it could cause more damage to you and then you will not be leaving. This is purely beneficial to you, if it hurts; I will adjust the brace that is all."

"Okay, I got it." Bosco knew he couldn't lie. He wanted to get out of the hospital as soon as he could.

"Alright, I'm going to have you slide your legs off the side of the bed, and I will put the brace on. It may be uncomfortable, but don't mistake the discomfort for pain." Bosco slid his legs off the bed like he was told. He was in pain. He hadn't moved in two days. "Did that hurt when you moved?"

"Yeah a little bit."

"Okay that is to be expected, you are really stiff. Let me know when you are ready for me to put the brace on." The doctor was being patient with Bosco; he knew that he would be hurting and he didn't want to push him too far.

"Alright, I'm good. Let's try this thing on." Bosco was determined to get out of the hospital no matter what pain he had to endure. He tried his hardest to not show how much pain he truly was in due to that, but faith could see right through it. She wanted to go and sit with him and help him get through the pain like she has a million times before. But she was still unsure of where they stood and how he felt so she stayed put with everyone else. Bosco looked up at faith with pleading eyes, hoping that he would find the strength to get through this, and when their eyes met, that is exactly what he found. The doctor sat down in front of Bosco and straightened out his leg. He took the brace off of the nurse and began to tighten it around his leg. The entire time, Bosco's eyes never fell from faiths gaze.

"Alright Maurice, I'm going to help you stand up now, and then I will tighten the top half of the brace. That is where my concern is. So you will have to tell me when to stop tightening it if it starts to hurt. Alright?"

"Yeah, that's fine." The doctor stood up and grabbed Bosco's arm and put it around him, he held his side as he stood up slowly. Faith could see the pain in his eyes and it was tearing her apart. She felt so useless. She hated it.

"Okay. Now Amy, I need you to hand him the crutches so he can try and stand by himself." She handed him the crutches and the doctor let go slowly as Bosco steadied himself. "How does that feel?"

"It hurts but not that bad. You can finish Doc." The doctor started to tighten the top of the brace, as he got closer to the wound, he noticed Bosco wince.

"Is that too tight?" Doctor Roberts stopped and looked up at Bosco, who still was staring into faiths eyes for support.

"No, it's just sensitive. But don't tighten that one anymore."

"Okay. That's fine. We only have one more left." He tightened the last latch on the brace that was almost at Bosco's hip. "Finished. Now how does that feel, try and bend your knee for me." Bosco bent his knee all the way, and he was surprised. "Okay well I want you to try and walk around the room with the crutches first just so you are not putting full support on your leg. Then we will try without." Bosco nodded his head and started to take a few steps. He stopped and leaned the crutches against the wall and continued to walk around the room. "Well, I see that it fits like a glove. And I'm glad to see that you are walking well. Remember you must wear this all the time unless you are going to sleep. You will have to come back in a month or so and I will reevaluate your leg and we will see how long you will have to wear it for after that." The doctor smiled and shook Bosco's hand "you all have a good day. And I will see you tomorrow to see if we can get you out of here."

"Thanks Doc, I'm just glad that I can take a shower by myself." They all laughed. Doctor Roberts just shook his head and left the room. "Well now that that's over, I guess I can join the party?"

"I guess so. Man you took that like a champ." Matt said as he walked over and patted Bosco on the back. Bosco looked over at faith who was just smiling. They both knew that he was in a ton of pain but he would do whatever he had to, to leave.

"Yeah, piece of cake." Bosco exclaimed as he puffed his chest out proudly. "No work for you today Price, how'd you manage that one?"

"Yeah, well I was on the schedule but they called me and told me to just take the day off cause they didn't want to put me with anyone else. Something about me pissing everyone off, I don't know." Price looked confused and looked at Faith as she burst out laughing. She could see exactly why Bosco was his partner. "What?"

"Oh nothing, just sounds very familiar, that's all" she rolled her eyes and then looked over at Bosco who had a smile from ear to ear.

"How do you figure?" Price asked skeptically

"Ahhh just when I would take a personal day or get hurt, they would tell Bosco he'd be on desk duty or that he could take the day off too because he'd piss everyone in the department off." Faith felt a strange relief come over her as she began telling the story, kind of like she was back in 55 David again with Bosco. She looked over at him and he had a sad look on his face. She didn't want to call him out on it while everyone was still in the room; she figured she'd ask later if they had some time to talk.

"I see. Now that makes sense." Price laughed out. Before anyone else could say anything, there was another knock on the door. They all jumped.

"Ah that must be my ma. Will you get that Faith?"

"Yep." Faith went over and opened the door. It wasn't Rose, it was Ty and Sasha. "Hey guys. How are you doin?" she was surprised to see Ty out of bed already.

"Hey Faith, we're good. We're finally done with these hospitals. How about you?" Ty asked

"I'm good. I'm just hoping to be out of here tomorrow night. So that's not too bad. Come on in. Bosco will be glad to see you both. He just got up a little while ago."

"Perfect." They walked in; not realizing everyone was in there with Bosco and Faith. "What's up man, How ya doin?"

"Man, I'm alright minus being here. You know how that is. How are you feeling and when did you get out?"

"I just got out, figured we'd come see your sorry ass before we left. But I'm feeling good, all thanks to you. Man I don't know what would've happened if you showed up a little bit later."

"I'll tell you what WOULDN'T have happened. I wouldn't be shot." They all laughed for a minute. "Sasha, I'm sorry. How are you and the kids doing?"

"Awww Bosco, We are all fine now. What about you, besides being here, what's going on with you, you haven't been around in a few weeks."

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry bout that. I just uhh I don't know. I just got some stuff goin on and haven't been able to do much. But hopefully, I will be able to come back around soon."

"Yeah I sure hope so. The boys miss you a lot. All I hear when Ty says he's going to work from them is 'is uncle Bosco coming over after work?'"

"Those boys are amazing, you both lucked out." Bosco looked at Emily and Charlie "Maybe I lucked out too, I think the kids I have are also amazing." He smiled for a while just thinking about all the time he's spent with them and Ty's kids. He didn't have kids of his own, but these kids, sure made him feel that way.

"Thank you Bosco. They think you are pretty amazing too." Sasha said with a smile. She could tell that Bosco was really happy. She hadn't seen him this way in a very long time. "But Bosco, Ty and I better get back to those monster children of ours. Make sure you stop by soon. And Get better. We will come see you tomorrow if you don't get discharged." She leaned over and gave him a very gentle hug.

"Alright thanks for coming though, It was really nice to see you."

"Yeah man, I will call you in the morning to see what's goin on. I can't go back to work for awhile so maybe we can get together when you can get around again." Ty shook his hand and then leaned in and hugged Bosco

"Sounds good to me man. Give the boys a kiss from me; I'll be out soon enough." Bosco watched them leave the room and looked back up at faith. She had a very slight frown on her face, one that only he would notice. 'She's not going to tell me what's wrong in front of the kids and Price.' He thought to himself. "Hey guys, do you think you can go get me something to drink down at the cafeteria, maybe even a piece of pie or something?" He stared at Emily

"Oh uh yeah Dad, we will go." Looking at Charlie, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Hey Matt, didn't you say you were going to buy me a piece of pie when we were down here earlier?"

"No?"

"YES you did. C'mon let's go!" Charlie winked at Matt and he finally got the hint.

"Thanks guys. Take your time. Oh Em, grab my wallet out of my bag and take some money."

"No Dad, I have money it's not a big deal."

"Thanks sweetie." He smiled at her and she smiled back at him and gave him a wink as she left the room

"She is so much like you, it scares me sometimes." Bosco looked at faith with a grin, hoping to lighten the mood a bit.

"Yeah she is, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing honestly." She moved back towards the bed and sat in the recliner. As she sat down, she let out a large sigh

"Faith, it's a good thing, believe me."
