Chapter 7
Nora opened the door and gently closed it behind her. She put everything down and looked around the house. It was June 1st, their 7th wedding anniversary. She looked up towards the stairs, she heard him coming down.
She smiled when he appeared. He walked to her and kissed her. Then he walked over to where the corner of the room she had just been.
“You brought her?”
“You brought her?”
“She is only 3 months old, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving her with anyone yet.”
He smiled and picked up the infant.
He smiled and picked up the infant.
“She is getting big too fast.”
“Yes she is.”
Bo sat down on the couch holding the baby. He reached over to her. She took his hand and sat down next to him. He kissed her.
“Yes she is.”
Bo sat down on the couch holding the baby. He reached over to her. She took his hand and sat down next to him. He kissed her.
“Matthew was excited to be spending his first weekend with his grandpa.”
“Asa was just as excited. Of course I had to listen to him lecture me about how we should be together and raise our children together.”
She sighed as their daughter’s little hands reached for her father’s face. He leaned down kissing her little hands.

“She is so beautiful Red.”
Nora felt that pang she felt every year, the one that tells her he’ll never be hers again.

“So Asa is still upset about everything?”
Bo sighed.
Bo sighed.
“He wants us together. So does Matthew.”
Nora stood up and looked out the window.
Nora stood up and looked out the window.
“He doesn’t understand how his parents could make another baby and not be together. How do you explain that to a child?”
“I can’t even explain it to myself Red. We have our children, yet we can’t be together.”
Nora looked at her hands.
Nora looked at her hands.
“I love you Bo.”
“I love you too Red. And I love Matthew and this little one.”
“I love you too Red. And I love Matthew and this little one.”
“How are things with Gabby?”
He sighed.
He sighed.
“Bad, she was upset when she found about our little Rory (yeah I was watching Gilmore Girls when writing this), but Matthew being mine seem to be the topper. We haven’t been doing well.”
Nora turned she saw her daughter yawn, her eyes closing. Nora smiled, she knew she was feeling safe and loved in her father’s arms. He looked up at her a minuted later.
“She’s out.”
“Good, now why don’t we put her in her seat and head upstairs and enjoy our bed.”
Bo groaned and quickly put Rory in her car seat.
“Good, now why don’t we put her in her seat and head upstairs and enjoy our bed.”
Bo groaned and quickly put Rory in her car seat.
She giggled as he pulled her upstairs. June 1st was the best day of the year.
