Lost and Found Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Nora and Bo spent the next week trying to make sure Matthew never knew something was wrong. Nora hated this, she felt so stressed. She was amazed at Bo, he was such a source of strength. Randy believed they were going to be in family court in two weeks.

She and Randy worked together putting the case together. Nora was so exhausted, this was taking everything out of her. She and Bo sat down with Randy yesterday and went through their lives from right before Sam entered their lives till now. It was hard, especially when they got to the Women of the Year time. Nora also hated hearing about Bo’s years of using women after she moved.

When they returned home after meeting with Randy they have made passionate and desperate love to each other. Their need to connect was so strong. After the initial lovemaking they cried in each other arms. They spent the rest of the night making love and telling each other that loved each other.

Nora sat on the couch with Matthew on her lap. They were watching TV together. Bo was on the phone with his brother going over business at BE. Matthew cuddled into her yawning. She yawned herself, she felt him relax and fall asleep. She own eyes started to grow heavy.

“Red, honey? You need to wake up, it is time for dinner.”
Nora opened her eyes.

“Did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah, you’ve been sleeping for nearly 4 hours.”
“4 hours!”
“Yeah, Matthew only slept for 30 minutes. So we went out to run errands, we just came back and found you still asleep. I am not surprised, you been working hard and have been really stressed.”
Nora ran her hand through her hair.

“Yeah I guess.”
“You feel better.”
She shrugged.

“A bit, I don’t think I will feel really good until I know this whole thing is over.”

Bo kissed her forehead.

“Matthew and I got dinner, come on let’s eat.”
Nora stood and followed Bo to the kitchen. Matthew was sitting in his car impatiently wanting for them.

“I want the drumstick dad.”
“Ok buddy, give me a second.”
Bo and Nora helped Matthew get his food, then got their own. Nora picked at her food. She felt Bo looking at her. She looked up at him and gave him a half smile.

“I know it has to be a first in our relationship, but I am not really hungry.”

“Dad can I be excused? I finished all my dinner.”
“Yeah go ahead bud.”
Matthew left the room. Bo looked over at her again.

“Red I am worried about you. I know this case is stressful, but you are so tired all the time and you not wanting food?”
“I know, I just need this to be over with. I swear Bo, it's just nerves and stress.”
Bo sighed and didn’t looked convinced.

“Fine, but if this gets any worse I want you to see a doctor.”
She nodded. Bo started to clean up. Nora helped. As they finished Bo took her in his arms and kissed her gently.

“I love you so much Red.”
“I love you too.”
