Chapter 18

Bosco, Faith and the rest of the family were at the airport waiting to catch their flight; Susan and Chuck, and Cosmo were there with them. Susan looked at Faith and Bosco.

"I'm going to miss you," Susan said as she hugged Bosco and Faith.

"We will keep in touch," Faith said, "Thanks for everything that you did for us."

"I'm just glad that your family is doing better." Faith then heard the call for their flight.

"It looks like we need to get going." Susan smiled at Bosco.

"You take care of your family."

"I will," Bosco grinned.

"It's time to go, sweeties," Bosco replied, as he watched his daughters playing with Cosmo.

"No… no go." Hannah said, holding onto Cosmo. Susan walked over to Hannah.

"I know that you had fun with Cosmo, but you need to go back home. Don't worry you'll see us again. Maybe we will come and visit you guys in New York." Hannah smiled.

"My home? Yey!" Susan smiled.

"You can't get rid of us now," Susan said, as she hugged Hannah and then hugged Michelle. Hannah looked at Faith and held her arms up.

"Go." Faith smiled at Susan.

"Thanks," she said. Susan nodded, and then waved at Faith and Bosco; they walked away with their family.

"You are really going to miss them, aren't you?" Chuck said. Susan turned to him.

"I am," she said as a single tear fall down her cheeks, "Come on; let's go before I start crying more."

Many hours later at the JFK Airport, Bosco and Faith were getting their bags, when they heard Emily, Rose and Charlie talking to someone. They turned around and saw Ty and Sasha
standing in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Bosco asked. Ty smiled.

"I thought you wouldn't want to take a cab home, so I thought we would come pick you and then Michelle and Hannah can come and visit Kayla. While you spend some time together, you'll been through a lot."

"Did you know about this?" Bosco asked Emily. Emily smiled.

"Yes, we did. Me and Charlie are going to stay at Rose's tonight." Faith looked at Ty and Sasha.

"It was nice of you to do that, but I want to spend time with my family. We have been through so much lately." Emily looked at Faith.

"Well at least go out for dinner." Faith turned to Bosco.

"I don't think there is anyway we can get out of this." Bosco smiled at Faith.

"What you don't want to go out for dinner with me?" She walked up to Bosco and put her arms around his waist.

"Of course I want to go out for with you." she said, as she leaned over and kissed him.

"Get a room," Charlie replied. "Can we go home now?" Faith smiled at her son.

"Sure. It's great to be back."

Later that night, Faith and Bosco were sitting at their table, eating their dinner.

"I wonder how Hannah and Michelle are doing?" Faith asked.

"Maybe we should phone Ty and make sure they are giving them too much trouble?" Bosco grabbed Faith's hand.

"I'm sure they are fine, Faith." Faith looked at Bosco.

"So you are telling me that you aren't worried about how Hannah and Michelle are doing. They have been through a lot." Bosco didn't say anything to Faith.

"I guess that is a yes." Bosco glanced at Faith.

"Do you want to go?" Faith nodded. Bosco then told the waiter that they were going to be going now. Faith then turned to Bosco and looked at him.

"You know I think you want to go as much as me, because you didn't protest that you didn't' want to go." Bosco mumbled something.

"What did you say?" Faith asked.

"I said you are right," Bosco said. Faith grinned.

"I thought so." The waiter then came with their check, Bosco paid, and they then left the
restaurant. As they were walking back to the car, Bosco put his arms around Faith.

"I never thought that I would be rather be home with my kids, then out on a date with my beautiful wife." Faith turned to him.

"That's because you have grown up, Boz. You have been since the day that Michelle and Hannah were born, and I find that very sexy," she said, as she kissed him.

"Oh you do..." Bosco replied. Faith smiled.

"I do," she grinned as they got into the car.

Hannah and Kayla were playing with each other while Michelle was sleeping in Sasha's arms. Ty looked at Sasha.

"She looks so peaceful."

"She does, you would never guess what she has been through lately," Ty said. Michelle then started to cry as she woke up.

"Michelle..." Ty said, with a smile. "Did you have a good sleep?"

"Mommy.. daddy." Sasha smiled at Ty.

"I think she wants her mommy and daddy."

"Really, Sasha?" Ty said with a laugh.

"I know you want them," Sasha said, as she put Michelle over her shoulder and walked her around the room.

"Daddy…"

"Daddy's not here." Sasha said. She then tried to put her down next to her sister, but she didn't want to sit.

"Daddy.. Mommy." Before Sasha could say anything, there was a knock at the door. Ty opened the door.

"Faith… Bosco, why are you back so early?" Sasha walked to them.

"Didn't you enjoy yourself?"

"Daddy," Michelle said, as she pulled her hands out to Bosco. Bosco grabbed Michelle.

"We couldn't be away from our daughters for long."

"How's my cutie pie? "Bosco said, as he walked around the apartment.

"Been good for Uncle Ty and Auntie Sasha." Michelle put her head on Bosco's shoulder.

"Love daddy."

"I love you too," as he stroke her hair, as she started to fall asleep. He then walked over to Hannah

"How's my Hannah-banana?" he asked, as he kneeled down and kissed Hannah's cheek. She looked up at him.

"Daddy!"

"What are you playing with?" Bosco asked, as he sat down next to her, and put Michelle in his lap. Faith smiled to herself, as she was watching them play. Ty walked up to her.

"Did you ever think you would see Bosco like that?" Faith smiled.

"Yes I did. I knew that he would be a great father," she said, as she walked over to Bosco.

"Do I get to play too?"

"Of course you do." Bosco said.

"We are playing with the tea set. Would you like some?" he asked. Faith smiled.

"Of course I do." Ty put his arms around Sasha.

"Never thought I would see the day that Bosco would play tea party with his two daughters."

"Oh I know," Sasha said with a grin.

The next morning, Emily walked into Bosco's and Faith's house, and saw Bosco sitting in the
living room with the twins.

"Is Mom here?" she asked. Bosco smiled.

"She's just having a shower." Emily sat down next to Bosco.

"I have some great news." Bosco turned to Emily.

"Well tell me." Emily smiled. "I really think my mom should be here."

"What do I need to be here for?" Faith asked, as she walked up to them, and sat down next to Bosco and put his arms around him.

"Well I got this letter in the mail today." Emily replied. "I'm afraid to open it."

"What is it, Em?" Faith asked.

"It will tell me if I passed my exam."

"You mean the exam if you passed police academy?" Faith asked, with this smile on her face. Emily nodded her head.

"That's the one; I can't open it." Bosco grabbed the letter away from Emily.

"Let me do, but we already know what it is says." Bosco ripped open the letter, and looked at Emily.

"I'm…"

"What Dad, just tell me I'm going to be a cop or not?" she asked.

"Come on, don't do this to me."

"You passed your exam, you are officially a police officer. They will be mailing you another letter in a few weeks telling you where you'll be put," Bosco said with a great big smile.

"I'm so proud of you, Emily." He said as he hugged her.

"I'm proud of you, too Emily. I know I was support at the beginning but I know you are going to make a great cop."

"I learn from the best." Emily said, as she put her arms around Bosco and Faith. Hannah and Michelle looked at Emily.

"Em, play."

"Of course." Emily said. Bosco looked at Hannah and Michelle.

"Did you just hear that your big sister is going to be a police officer like mommy and daddy?"

"Peace Icer!" Hannah cried giggling.

"That's right; your sister is going to be just like your mother, a strong, wonderful cop." Emily smiled at Bosco.

"Maybe I'll have a great partner like you did mom, and marry him." Faith turned to Bosco.

"There's only one Bosco, and I have him right here." Bosco then looked at Emily.

"Well I think it is time for us to go and celebrate this big news."

"Well go and pick Charlie up from work, and celebrate your big day, Emily," Faith said, as she put her arms around Bosco, and couldn't believe how happy she was. Her family was finally getting everything they wanted, and nobody was going to destroy this family.

A few months later, Faith and Bosco had just got back from Chicago where they had to testify at Andrew Nardo's trial, where both Andrew and Fred got 20-30 years for their charges. It was hard to see her ex-husband get to the point where he would do something that dangerous to get her back, but she was with the one that she loved and always would, and that was all that mattered. She then put her arms around Bosco.

"I love you." Bosco smiled at her.

"I love you too. I'm just so glad that this is over and we can finally get on with our lives." Faith smiled.

"I know, Bosco. I think the kids are finally getting on with their lives. They'll never forget Fred, but I think they are letting go of everything. Emily is starting her new job at 39 precient next week; Charlie is starting at the University in the fall."

"Your family has been through a lot, but I think you all have come out stronger," Susan said who was standing next to Faith. Faith smiled.

"I think we have to, and to think if this had all happened. We would have never become such good friends with you." Susan smiled.

"That's true; I think Cosmo is happy that he gets to see Hannah and Michelle again."

"Did he miss them?" Bosco asked. Susan smiled.

"He did. He kept on asking when he gets to see them again."

"Well they don't know they are seeing you on again, not even Emily or Charlie know. It was just a spur of the moment thing when we come to Chicago to testify. We thought of the two of you and we decide to ask you to come back with us for a visit."

"I bet you never thought we would say that we were planning on visit you very soon," Chuck said who was walking with Cosmo towards the house.

"No of course not," Bosco said with a grin, as they came towards the house and Bosco opened the door. Emily and Charlie were sitting in the living room with Hannah and Michelle.

"Dr. Lewis, we didn't know you were coming home with mom and dad."

"We didn't either." Faith said, as she walked into the house.

"Dr. Lewis here, was going to come visit in a few weeks, but we told them that they should come with us now. So they said yes." Emily smiled.

"Well it's good to see you again," Emily said, as she looked at her watch. " I'm sorry, but I have to work. I don't want to be late."

"Unlike your father?" Faith said with a smile.

"I wasn't late every day." Faith put her arms around him. "Yes you were and you know it." Bosco looked down on the floor.

"Okay maybe you are right." He then hugged Emily. "You be safe out there."

"Yes, dad I'll be fine." Emily said with a smile. She then waved goodbye and left the house. Charlie looked at Faith and Bosco.

"I should be going too. I have to meet Sarah," Charlie then kissed Michelle and Hannah's
forehead.

"See you later."

"Charlie.. love."

"I love you too." He said, as he waved goodbye to the twins and then said goodbye to the rest of them. Cosmo looked at Susan.

"Can I play with Hannah and Michelle?" Susan smiled at his son.

"Sure." Susan, Chuck and Bosco sat on the couch while Faith walked over to the bookcase and pulled out a photo album. Faith sat down.

"I thought you would like to see some pictures, Susan?"

"Of course I would, Faith." Susan said with a smile. Bosco turned to Chuck.

"Do you want to take the kids out for ice cream, while the women looked over the pictures?" Chuck smiled.

"Sounds great to me." Bosco walked over to Hannah and Michelle.

"How does ice cream sound?"

"Yes!" Hannah and Michelle said. Cosmo looked at Bosco. "I like Chocolate ice cream with sprinkles."

"Well that is what we will get then." Bosco said, as he put Hannah and Michelle in the stroller. He then walked over to Faith and leaned over and kissed her.

"We won't be too long." Faith smiled.

"See you later." Susan then hugged and kissed Chuck. "Are you sure you don't want to stay and look at the pictures?"

"I think I'll pass," Chuck said with a smile. Susan nodded.

"Fine." She then turned to Cosmo.

"Now you be good for Bosco an daddy." Bosco smiled.

"Cosmo's always good, aren't you, buddy?" he said, as he pushed the stroller out of the house and Chuck and Cosmo were behind.

"Bye," they all yelled, as they left the house.

"I don't know why the men didn't want to stay." Faith said. "We are only looking at pictures."

"That is probably why." Susan said with a laugh.

"Well it's their loss," Faith said, as she opened the photo album. "Here's when Bosco and I got married. I still remember that day like it happened yesterday." Susan smiled.

"It's a wonderful dress, you looked so pretty." Faith then turned the pages.

"I'm guessing this is when you were pregnant with the twins." Susan said with a smile.

"No, I'm always that big," Faith said, with a laugh.

"That is the most amazing picture." Susan pointed to a picture of Bosco with Hannah and Michelle in his arms.

"That was the first time that he saw them. I have never seen him look like before." Susan smiled.

"You two were made for each other. You have the most amazing family." Faith smiled.

"I never thought that Bosco and I would ever be a family. Of course he was always part of my family, but it wasn't until he saved my life that night in the hospital, that I realize how much I truly loved him, and it wasn't just as friends anymore."

"Did he really jump in front of 4 bullets for you?" Susan asked.

"He did, I.." Faith said, as she stopped in mid sentence and a tear fall down her cheek. Susan looked at Faith.

"I should have never ask you that."

"Its fine, Susan." Faith said, as she looked at Susan. "Even though it has been many years ago since it happened, I still think about how close I came to losing Bosco forever."

"I'm sorry, Faith. You didn't lose Bosco, and you never will. How about we look at some other pictures?" Faith smiled.

"That's sounds like a great idea." Faith said, as she wiped away the tear. She would always remember that day forever, it would never truly go away. Faith then looked at the pictures.

"Here's one when Hannah walked for the first time, she did it before Michelle. You should of saw Bosco's face; it was like he had never seen this before."

"I remember Chuck and I being like that when Cosmo walked for the first time. It was like we never seen anybody walk before, like it was something new to us." Faith then turned the pages; most of them were of birthday and Christmas. Then they got to the next page.

"When was this?"

"This was when Emily gradated from police academy. She wasn't there with the rest of her friends because she was in Chicago, so when we got back and she found out that she passed. They did a ceremony for her."

"And how did that happen?" Faith smiled.

"Let's just say I had some favors I need." Faith smiled.

"This is Emily at her first day as a cop. She didn't want us to take a picture of her, but we had to."

"So do you see Emily during your shifts?" Susan asked.

"Some times we see each other, but not that often as they are two different preicents. I think she is glad that she doesn't go to the same precient as me and Bosco because she knows how protective we are of her. I didn't want her to be a cop as I know what it can do to a person, but I know I couldn't stop her. She is stubborn like that."

"You mean like her mother." Faith smiled. Faith then turned the pages of the photo album.

"And here is the day when Bosco adopt Emily and Charlie. I was so happy that he is legally their father now, even though I know he was their father well before we sign papers, but I want to make it legal."

"Is that Bosco's mom in the picture?" Susan asked. Faith smiled. "She did a party for us that day; I think she just wanted to do a party."

"Well you all looked happy there." Susan said with a smile. Then suddenly a picture fall out of the album, and she saw that it was a picture of Fred and the kids at Emily's high school graduation. Faith picked up the picture.

"Even though we were divorced I still tried to be nice to him because of the kids. I just don't know what happened to make him do what he did... Maybe if I did something different, he would have never tried to hurt Bosco."

Susan put her arm on Faith's shoulder.

"Nothing you did could have changed it. He still loves you and when he couldn't have you that is when he lost it. There is nothing you can do when you love someone else, Faith. I can tell that you and Bosco are truly soul mates." Faith smiled.

"I just wish that things were different. I never wanted Emily and Charlie to hate their father, if only I..."

"It's not your fault, Faith," said a voice. Faith turned around and saw Bosco and Chuck in the doorway. Faith smiled and walked up to Bosco.

"I know it's not, but I still wish I did something differently so Fred wouldn't have done what he did." Bosco put his arms around her.

"Faith, you listen here, Fred was always a jerk. I never thought he would go as far as he did, but there is nothing you could have done, so stop blaming yourself." Susan nodded.

"That is exactly what I told her, but she won't listen to me." Bosco looked at Faith.

"Well you are going to listen to me now. Nothing was your fault, not the kidnapping, not my shooting.. nothing." Faith put her arms around Bosco.

"You say it like that; I have to believe you."

"You know I am always right." Bosco said with a grin.

Later that night, Faith walked into the living room, where Bosco was sitting on the couch, he
had turned off all the lights. Faith walked towards him.

"What have you done?" she said, as she saw all candles on the table.

"Well the twins are sleeping; our guests are sleep too, so I thought why don't we have spend some time alone." He said, as he stood up and leaned over and kissed her, as he pulled out a single rose from his back. She looked at him with a smile.

"Oh Boz."

"I guess you like it?"

"I love it, Boz." She said, as she put her arms around him. They then sat down on the couch. He put his hand on her face, and brushes away the hair that was in her face.

"I love you, Faith."

"I love you too," Bosco said, as he started to kiss Faith when he felt something tugging at his shirt. He looked down and saw Hannah.

"Hannah-banna", shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Daddy play."

"No, sweetie, you need to sleep."

"No sleep." Hannah said, "Play." Bosco grabbed a hold of her.

"You can't play now. It's night. You need your sleep."

" No sleep, play." She said, as she crawled in the middle of the two of them. Bosco turned to Faith. "There's goes our night."

Faith smiled, as she leaned over and kissed him.

"That's fine. I'll go and check up on Michelle and see if she is still sleeping unlike her sister."

A few minutes later, Faith returned to the living room, and saw Hannah lying in Bosco's chest,
sound asleep, as she walked up to Bosco, she saw that he was sound asleep as well. It was the most amazing sight she has ever seen before. She didn't want to wake either of them up, so she grabbed a blanket and put it over them, and kissed both of them goodnight.

She smiled to herself as she walked towards the bedroom, Bosco and she had
been through a lot these past few months, but their love was stronger enough to deal with anything that comes in their way and that is the way it was always going to be.

The End.
