Chapter 18

Matthew took their hands and led them downstairs as fast as he could. Once they got to the door he let go of their hands. Nora opened the door, Matthew ran out towards his sister.

“RACHEL!”
Rachel looked up and turned towards him open her arms Matthew launched himself into them. Nora felt such happiness watching the two of them together. Rachel let go of Matthew and walked towards Nora and Bo. Nora meet her and hugged her daughter tight, Rachel then hugged Bo.

“How was the drive?”
“Not bad, beat the traffic.”
They all helped Rachel with her bags. Matthew wouldn’t let go of his sister’s hand as he walked her in the house telling her all about the wedding and what was going on in his life.

“Rachel, did you know that Bo is going be my step dad and he and I are going do guy stuff!”
“I did know, you excited.”
“Yeah! Bo took me out camping last week it was so much fun.”
Nora giggled.

“Well they hung out in a tent in the backyard.”
Rachel laughed.

“Still fun.”

Bo walked over to Matthew and picked him.
“Hey buddy let’s go out to the park and let your mom and sister do girly things.”
“K, bye mommy and Rachel, we’ll be back!”
Nora and Rachel waved as the two left.

“So?”
Nora turned towards Rachel.

“So?”
“Have you talked to Bo about adoption?”
“Yes, he wants to do it, we actually started the process.”
“Wow. How is going.”
“We found Sam, but we are waiting till after the wedding to send him the petition for adoption.”
“Afraid he’ll crash the wedding.”
Nora just nodded slowly.

“Mom are you scared?”
Nora didn’t say anything for a minute.

“Yes I am, what if Sam wants Matthew. I know he left, but you know how he is about Bo. He may just do it out of spite.”
“If he does you fight him, you have proof he left way before Matthew was born and that Bo and Matthew are bonded.”
“I guess, I just hope it doesn’t get to that point.”

Rachel walked over to Nora and hugged her.

“Bo wants to have another baby.”
Rachel eyes got huge.
“What!”
“Yep he just asked me about before you got here.”
“What did you say?”
“Yes, but we are going to wait until the adoption is over with.”
“Wow. Wait! I thought Bo couldn’t have kids.”.

“He is ok if we get a donor or adopt.”
“Mom, you found the perfect man.”
Nora laughed.

“I don’t know about that, but he is great.”
“Well I am all for another brother or sister. That way they can play with their niece or nephew during holidays.”
“Niece or nephew? What are...Rachel? Are you?”
“You are going to be a grandma in 7 months.”
“OH!”
Nora hugged her daughter tight fighting her tears.

“I didn’t know you and Shawn were even trying.”
Rachel laughed.

“Oh we weren’t, it just happened.”

“Been there, you are proof of that.”

“That turned our pretty well for you. If you asked me.”
Nora ran her hand down her daughter’s face.

“Yes it did. Have you told your father yet?”
“Nope, I was going tell him tonight when I meet him for dinner.”
“Better tell Shawn to stay hidden during the wedding.”
“Ha, I don’t think he is ready to see dad yet, I keep telling him we are married, my father can’t complain.”
“But he will”

“I will talk to him and use my daughter power on him, that always calms him.”
“Well, I am excited and so happy for you.”
“Thank you mom.”
Nora looked at the time.
“Oh we better go, we have a date at the spa!”
“YES!”

Nora and Rachel headed out for the day of pampering.
