Illusions Chapter 25

Chapter 25

The very next day they went to the doctor to make sure they were really pregnant, when the doctor confirmed Bo stood there beaming.

“You are very early, about 5 weeks. I want you to cautious, your age makes this high risk. I’ll will want to see regularly. But if you follow my instructions and take care of yourself, I see no reason why you two shouldn’t have a healthy and happy baby.”
Nora smiled at Bo, who was still beaming. The doctor left. Bo helped her off the bed, then kissed her as she finished dressing.

“Thank you Red.”

Nora smiled at him then kissed his cheek.

“Thank you Bo.”

He smiled again and took her hand leaving together.

They reached home, Bo began to read the literature. Nora smiled he was going to be very serious about his baby. She walked over to him kissing his neck and running her hands down his chest.

“Why don’t you put the pamphlet down baby and show me some fun.”

Bo put the paper down and turned in her arms then kissed her.
“Red, I love you.”
“I love you too, now take me upstairs and show me. After All isn’t the best way to celebrate pregnancy.Too do the thing that caused it.”
She waggled her eyebrows. He laughed.

“I think you are right.”

The kissed and moved towards the stairs.

Nora woke up and reached for Bo. When she realized it was empty she looked up and saw him staring out the window. She got up and stood behind him wrapping her arms around him. Bo took her hand and kissed it.

“What is wrong Bo?”
He sighed.

“I am just a bit scared and frustrated.”

Nora kissed his back.

“Why Bo?”
“Scared of not being a good dad, frustrated that I still can’t remember our marriage. Scared and frustrated that my lack of memory might affect our child.”
“First of all you will be a wonderful father, memory or not. Second as much as I want you to remember it is okay if you don’t. You are still the best husband a woman could ask for. I love you Bo and this baby will love you so much.”
“I know, but it is still hard to deal with. Today I was watching you sleep and I kept feeling like I had a memory that was there but it just wouldn’t show itself. I want to remember everytime I touched you, everytime I made you laugh even cry. I just want to remember you and me completely.”

Nora held him tighter. They stood there looking out at the Llanview sky. Nora hands started to caress him. She felt Bo’s breathing increase. She slowly moved her hands down his body. Bo groaned. He took her hand and lead her back to their bed to make new memories.
