Lost and Found Chapter 28

Chapter 28

The next morning they both nervously sat in the doctor’s office. The doctor came in with a smile.

“Mrs. Buchanan, I see congratulations are in order.”
“Yes, uh this is my husband Bo.”

The doctor shook hand.

“I wanted to see you right away, as I am sure you know this will be a high risk pregnancy and I wanted to make sure we all take the proper precautions.”
“I understand, but can we ask you for favor?”
The doctor looked at her with confusion.

“As you know I have a son who is three.”
The doctor nodded.

“Well when he was convinced I was married to Bo and we had test that told us he couldn’t have children, I went to umm someone else to conceive.”
The doctors eyes got huge.

“When we found out we were pregnant again, we didn’t understand. The only thing we can think of is that the fertility test were wrong and maybe Matthew might be Bo’s.”
She could tell she was overwhelming the doctor.

“Anyways, we were wondering if you could run a DNA test in a rush?”
The doctor looked between her and Bo.

“Like how much of a rush?”
“24 hours?”

“Wow, that is really fast. I am”

Bo interrupted him.
“I am willing to pay good money.”
The doctor looked over at him.

“Well it usually cost $100 and it takes about a week for the lab to process it.”
“I’ll pay $1000.”
“Umm, let me call the lab real quick.”

The doctor left leaving them alone for a few minutes. Bo reached over and took her hand kissing it.

“It’s going to work out Red, I promise.”
The doctor returned.

“The lab said they could do it. Do you have a sample of your son and Mr. Buchanan?”
Nora pulled out a two toothbrushes.

“The buzz lightyear one is my son’s”
The doctor laughed as he took the samples, a moment later the nurse came in. He handed her the toothbrushes.

“So, let’s talk about your current pregnancy.”
Nora sighed and nodded.

An hour later Bo and Nora returned home. Bo was walking behind Nora reading the pamphlets as they walked in.

“It say here at 9 weeks the baby is only the size of an olive and that you are really tired. Well that is true.”
Nora turned around and pulled the paper out of Bo’s hand.

“Bo I’ve done this two other times, I know what will happen.”
“I know, but I really haven’t. Matthew’s pregnancy went bad really fast for me, I never had time to learn these thing.”
Nora felt awful.

“Oh Bo, I am sorry.”
He shrugged.

“It is ok Red, now I can do this right, with you.”
She kissed him.
“Yes you can.”

Bo hand reached between them and put his hand on her flat stomach.

“I swear Red I will be here for you, Matthew, and this baby forever.”
Nora fought her tears.
“I know Bo.”
She kissed his temple. Bo hugged her tight.
“Tomorrow Matthew will be mine no matter what, even if the DNA test come out negative. I know that judge will let me adopt him.”

Nora didn’t say a word she just leaned into him trying she’d feel some of strength.  She had been fighting the hope that was clawing her chest. She didn’t want to be devastated if things didn’t work the way she wanted. Bo pulled her out of the hug and brought his hands up to her face tipping her face so her eyes meet his.

“I love you so much Red. I thank God for everyday I have you and our family.”
He kissed her passionately. Nora matched his passion, she felt a bit dazed. Bo ran his hands down her body pulling her close.

“Why don’t we head upstairs and find some things that can distract us from thinking about the test.”
Nora raised and eyebrow.

“Things huh?”
Bo kissed her then took on of her hands and pulled her towards the stairs.

“Oh yes. Very sexy things.”
“OH! I love sexy things.”
Bo laughed as they headed towards the bedroom.
