Lost and Found Chapter 16

Chapter 16

The day had been pretty quiet. Nora saw a few clients, while Bo and Matthew went out for the day. After they were done Bo was suppose to drop Matthew off at her parents, give them some time to plan the wedding. Overall they had most things done, but they need the little things. They were keeping it very small, family and very close friends. Nora had not broached the subject of Matthew adoption. She was having a hard time knowing how to start the conversation, plus she dread the thought of having to deal with Sam again. She looked up as the door to her office open she smiled as Bo walked in.

“Hello gorgeous.”
She stood and walked up to him.

“Hello handsome.”

They kissed passionately. Bo pushed her against the door and locked it behind them. Nora moaned as his hands ran down her body. Bo moved his lips down to her neck.

“Bo, not that I really really don’t want to do this, but we need to stop, we have to get these plans done.”

Bo groaned, ran has hand up and down her body one last time then let her go. He took a few deep breaths trying to gain control.

“You’re right.”
He let out on more deep breath then sat down. Nora walked over to him and ran her hands through his hair. Then she realized it would be the right time.

“Bo, I have a very big question to ask you. I don’t need an answer right away, but I want to consider it very carefully.”
Bo looked up at her concerned.

“Red, what is it?”

Nora sat down next to him.

“Bo how would you feel about adopting Mathew?”
Bo face showed shock, he didn’t say anything.

“Rachel pointed out that if anything happened to me, Matthew would go to Sam and you would have no right to him. I don’t want that, Matthew loves you so much, I would hate to rip him away from you and everyone else he loves. Sam has never shown any interest in being in his life. Like I said, I don’t.”
“Red, stop, just stop. I need to think.”
Nora stopped talking. Bo took her hands into his, they sat there for several minutes.

“What would this entail Red?”
“Well we would have to get Sam to sign his rights away.”
“Do you think he will?”
“I don’t know, it isn’t like he has anything to do with Matthew, I don’t even ask for child support from him, he never even saw Matthew. Bo he left before Matthew was born.”

This piece of information shocked Bo, she could tell.

“Are you kidding me? After all he did to insert himself into our marriage! I.. I am so sorry Red that you had to go through all that alone. I am so sorry I left, I should have never let that man push my buttons, I should have never let you and Matthew go.”
Nora kissed his temple then put her head on his shoulder. Bo wrapped his arm around Nora.

“Nora, are we sure we want get Sam involved with our lives again?”
“No, but do you really want to lose Matthew if something happens to me?”
Nora could feeling Bo body tighten.

“I can’t imagine losing you again, but losing Matthew on top of that would kill me. I would love to be Matthew’s father legally Red.”
Nora lifted her head off his shoulder and looked into his eyes.

“Are you sure?”
“Yes, very! Should we tell Matthew?”
“I think we should wait until it is official, I don’t want to get his hopes up.”
Bo nodded, then smiled.

“I am going to be a dad Red.”
She laughed.

“Yes you are.”

They kissed. Nora pulled back putting her forehead on his.

“Well we better finish planning this wedding.”

Bo laughed, Nora stood and went to get all the information.
