Chapter 15

The next day Matthew had returned home. Nora and Bo sat him down to tell him him the news.

“You mean Bo will be with us always!”
“Yes, Bo will be you step father.”
Matthew little face got a strange look on it.

“Baby what is it?”

“Does this mean Bo will be my dad?”

“He’ll be you step dad.”
“But he’ll do stuff that dad’s do with me?”
Nora smiled. Bo put his hand on her arm.

“Matthew, buddy I would love to do dad stuff with you.”

Matthew’s face lit up.

“REALLY! Mommy I am going to have a dad!”
“You sure are.”

Matthew threw himself into Bo’s arms. Nora started to cry at the sight.
“Matthew why don’t you go and play in you room?”
Matthew let go of Bo.

“Ok! Thank you for being my dad Bo!”
Matthew shot out the room. Nora laughed, then looked over at Bo who had tears in his eyes. Nora ran her hand down his cheek. He looked over at her giving her a smile.

“I should have been here always Red, I should have always been his dad.”
Nora kissed him gently.

“Bo that is the past, Matthew is a healthy and happy boy. What matters is now. Right now, you just made a three year old boy extremely happy.”

“Yeah I guess I did. So, umm. When do we want to do this?”
“This?”
“When do you want to get married.”
She stood then sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around him.

“Well, I don’t know about you,BUT I think we should do it as soon as possible.”
He pulled her close and kissed her.

“I think that is a fabulous idea, how about next month! That should give us enough time to tell Rachel and the rest of the family.”

“YES! Lets do that.”

Nora kissed his cheek then gets off his lap.

“Speaking of Rachel I should call her.”
Bo smiled at her.

“Tell I love her. I am going to hang with Matthew.”
Nora laughed as she dialed. Rachel answered the phone. Nora told the exciting news.

“Oh mom, that is so great! I am so happy for you and Matthew, Bo will be a great dad.”
“Yes, he will. Matthew is excited about having a dad.”

“Mom, have you ever thought about having Bo adopt Matthew? I mean since Sam is totally out the picture it might be a good idea. Just in case something happens to you Matthew will be protected.”

“You know, I hadn’t thought about it, but I think you are right. I’ll bring up to Bo, see if he’d be comfortable with it. I think Matthew would love the idea.”

“So when is the big day?”
“Oh we haven’t officially decided on a date, but we are think next month.”
“NEXT MONTH!”
Nora laughed at her reaction.

“Yes! Next month, we have been apart for too long, we don’t want to wait.”
“I guess I can understand that.”
“So, you think you can make it and be my maid of honor.”
“Of course I can mom! I wouldn’t miss it.”

“Whew! Now don’t tell you father, I think Bo wants to tell him.”
She heard her daughter giggle.

“Oh you, Dad, and Bo back together again.”

“It is going to be great!”
“Sure it will.”

“Hey young lady, I don’t remember you complaining.”
“I maybe the only child in history who father and stepfather were best friends. It was weird, but wonderful.”

“Yeah, it was.”

Suddenly Nora heard both Matthew and Bo calling for her.
“Oh, better go. I am being summoned by my men.”
“Give them both a kiss for me.”
“I will baby, Love you.”
“Love you too.”
Nora hung the phone up and started upstairs to see what her men wanted.
