Chapter 13

Nora sat on the couch waiting for Bo. Luckily she had only had one other contraction, if she got there fast enough they might be able to stop it. She heard Bo’s car pull up. She walked towards the door, Sam following her. The door flew open before she reached it.

“NORA! Honey are you okay?”
“Yes, I just need to see the doctor.”
“How many contractions have you had how far apart.”
“Bo! Slow down. I’ve only had two they were a half hour apart. We need to go, they might be able to stop it, it is too soon.”
Bo nodded and grabbed her hand kissing it. He then noticed Sam.

“What is he doing here?”
“I’ll tell you when we get done at the doctors. It is a long story.”
Bo helped her to the car. Nora laughed, his was so nervous. He began to drive, he put on siren. Nora put a hand out and stroked his face.

“Bo, slow down. It’s ok, I’m ok, the baby is ok.”
Bo looked over her and took a deep breath. His driving slowed a bit. He got her to the hospital in ten minutes. Helping her out of the car she felt another contraction hit. He held her tight as she took deep breaths.

He got her in and ran up to the receptionist. A minute later 2 nurses came to her with a wheelchair.

“Mrs. Buchanan we are going to take you to the doctor right now.”
Bo took her hand and held it tight as they headed to the room. The nurses and Bo helped her onto the bed. The doctor come in.

“How you doing Nora.”
“Ok, I am hoping this false labor.”
“Lets see.”
Nora felt Bo brushing her hair off her face. She looked up, he looked so scared. She squeezed his hand, he looked at her. She gave him a small comforting smile. He relaxed a bit and kiss her.
“Well Nora this is the real deal. Unfortunately this is a bit early. We’ll be monitoring you and baby the whole time. Everything will fine.”
“Ok, Thank you doctor.”
“You have some time till the baby comes. So try to relax a bit.”
The doctor left. Nora sat up with the help of Bo.

She looked over at Bo. Her heart fluttered, he was so adorable when he was worried.

“Bo, I have something to tell you.”
“Red? What is wrong.”
“Oh Bo, nothing. Everything is perfect. Bo, I found something out when Sam was at our house today.”
Bo looked at her confused.

“Bo, I remembered that night, that night in the motel.” She smiled widely “Bo I never slept with him. Sam and I never had sex. I kissed him because i thought it was you, when I realized it wasn’t you I pushed him away.”
Bo sat in stunned silence.

“Bo?”
“Are you sure.”
“Yes, very. Bo this is your baby.”
Bo let out a huge breath and put his hands over his face. Then she heard him start to cry.

“Bo? Are you okay?”
He grabbed her and kissed her hard.
“YES! NORA WE ARE HAVING A BABY!”
Nora laughed, she felt all the stress and fear she had felt in the past 8 months just disappear.

“Yes we are.”

Bo hugged her tight the sat like for several minutes, until a contraction hit her.

The nurse came in with a monitor for the baby. She laid back and let her hook everything up. It started up with a bunch of beeping. The nurse looked at the machine confused. Bo must of noticed too.

“Is everything ok?”
“Just a minute let me get the doctor, there appears to be something wrong with the machine.”
The nurse left. Bo kissed her forehead.

The doctor came in, she looked at the heart monitor. She laughed a bit

“Nora did we ever do a ultrasound?”
“No.”
“Well, you about to get a surprise. Mr. Buchanan you may want to sit down.”
Nora got really nervous. Bo squeezed her hand as he sat down.

“You’re having twins.”

Nora and Bo both sat there without saying a word. The doctors laughed again.

“I’ll give you two some privacy”
She left.

Bo looked at her. His face was white.
“Twins? As in two? Oh Red, are we ready for this?”
Nora laughed.

“No I don’t think we are, but they are coming in a few hours.”
Bo remain in his chair still stunned. Nora ran a hand through his hair.

“Bo, we are having babies, we love each other deeply, it will be okay.”
He took her hand and kissed it.

“You are right, I love you Red. I am ready for our babies.”
