Lightning Chapter 24

Chapter 24
Bo walked into the house. He could hear her upstairs. He put his jacket up he felt the small box in his pocket. He quickly made his way upstairs.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw her. She had her shirt lifted up as she looked in the mirror.
“Can you tell yet?”
He smiled and walked over to her. His hands touched her bare belly and kissed the tip of her nose.

“Not yet honey, but you will be gorgeous when you do.”

She smiled and kissed him.

“How was your day?”
Bo took his hands off her as she lowered her shirt.

“Good, had a visit from Pa, he wants you help with some personal legal issue.”
She frowned.

“What kind of personal issue?”
“I don’t know, if you don’t want to I can tell him no.”
She sighed and sat on the bed.

“I’ll call him and find out what the issue is and make a decision.”
“I told him about the baby.”
Nora looked up at him surprised.

“You did? I thought we were going to wait.”
Bo sat next her.

“I know, but really need some advice from my father.”
“Oh, did he give you good advice?”
Bo smiled.

“Actually he did. He is very happy about the baby, he does love grandchildren. Been bugging me for a long time for some. He says you’ll produce good grandchildren for him and he hopes they have you looks and brains.”
Nora smiled.

“Well I hope the baby has you eyes and heart.”

Bo couldn’t help but smile with pride.

“You do?”
Nora moved closer to him and kissed his cheek.

“Bo I want our baby to be the best of both of us.”
Bo wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him.

“I never thought about, I just always wanted the baby to look like you.”
“Bo this baby is part you and me.”
Bo kissed her forehead.

“Yes it is, a perfect little symbol of our love. Which gets me to the next part of mine and Pa’s discussion.”
Bo dug into his pocket and pulled out the box. He heard Nora gasp.

“Oh Bo.”
“Red, I want you to know that I love you. And I have always planned on marrying you. I am not asking you just because of the baby, the baby just moved my plans up by a few months.”
He opened the box.

“So beautiful, you and little one want to get married?”

Bo wiped away the stray tears on Nora’s face.

“Yes I will marry you.”

Bo kissed her slowly for several minutes, finally he pulled away. He took the ring out and placed it on her finger. His face broke out in a huge smile. He looked into her eyes.

“Red you are making all my dreams come true, even ones I didn’t even realized I had.”

Nora grabbed his face and began kissing him. She finally let go of him.

“Bo you are everything I have ever dreamed of, I can’t wait to be your wife.”

Bo pushed her onto the bed.

“And I can’t wait to be your husband.”
Bo leaned down and kissed his fiance.
