Chapter 20
Bo sighed and throwing his tie on the chair. It had been a long day, both Nora and Bo had to be on the witness stand for Gordy’s trial. They both had done well, but Gordy’s lawyer attacked Nora personally. Took all of Bo’s control to not to punch that bastard. Nora was remarkably cool, he was in awe. He started to remove his jacket and shirt, he turned when he heard her enter the room. He gave her a soft smile that she returned.
“Hey beautiful, you okay?”
“Yeah, not the first time that has happened, part of the line of work.”
“Still hard, I wanted to kill him.”
Nora walked over to him and gave him a small kiss.

“I know, but I am tough.”
Bo wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, kissing her passionately.

“I know Red, that is one the reasons I love you so much.”
She smiled and brushed her hands over his chest. Her face turned very serious.
“Red? Honey what is it?”
She swallowed and started to talk, then closed her mouth. Bo felt a sudden jolt in the pit of his stomach, something was wrong. He cupped her face.

She took a deep breath.

“Bo you need to sit down.”
His stomach turned, it was bad. He sat down on the chair. Nora sat on the bed.

“Red, just tell me.”
“Bo, I have something I need to tell you, I’ve been trying to find the right time. I wanted to wait until we were both done with our part of the trial. Bo...I..God.” She took another large breath. “Bo I am pregnant.”

Bo felt the blood drain from his face.
“What?”
Nora began to talk very fast.
Nora began to talk very fast.
“I am 8 weeks along, I found out last week. I don’t know what to think Bo, we haven’t even had that discussion yet. I don’t even know how you feel about children. I mean, we just started this relationship, I thought we were moving fast moving in, but I love you. I know I love you so I knew it was right, but a baby? We are still getting to know each other, can we handle this? Bo?”
Bo sat on the chair staring at her saying nothing, his brain still trying to process that he was going to be a father. He frowned, how did he even feel about that? Then his brain registered that Nora was crying and fleeing their bedroom. It still took him a moment to realize what happened. As soon as it did he stood up and ran to find her.

“RED! WAIT!”
He was too late she was leaving in the car. He tried to chase, but she didn’t stop.
“Stupid Bo, so stupid.”
He walked back into the house grabbing his keys to go after her, hoping he could find her and fix this.
