Chapter 24
Nora felt the fear grip her heart as he asked a simple question. Bo panicked when she didn’t answer, thinking she was mad.
“I am sorry, I really wasn’t snooping. It fell on the floor and I saw the word prenatal.”
“I know you weren’t snooping. Bo, I think you need to sit down.”
Bo put the paper down, she could tell was worried and confused as he sat down.

She sat across from him, she had no idea where to start.
“Bo, we...I..” She sighed. “I am 10 weeks pregnant.”
Nora watched his face go through several emotions. Happy, concerned, scared, then the face she dreaded, pain, deep pain.

“This baby is Blake’s.”
“Yes.”
Silence filled the room. Bo stood up and paced.
“Yes.”
Silence filled the room. Bo stood up and paced.
“This is all my fault.”
“Bo, it doesn’t matter who is at fault. What matters if we have an unborn child to think about.”
Bo stopped pacing and nodded.
“You are right.” He looked over at her. “What are we going to do Red?”
“I don’t know.”
Bo sat back down.

“Did the fall hurt the baby?”
“No, Larry said the baby is fine. I have an appoint with the OB in a couple days.”
“No, Larry said the baby is fine. I have an appoint with the OB in a couple days.”
Silence again.
“Bo?” He looked at her. “Do you?” She stopped, she dreaded asking this question. “Do you want to be with me still?”
Bo stood quickly moving right by her. He held her hands into his.

“Oh honey, yes, I lived without you once and I never wanted to do that again. I don’t care if this baby isn’t mine! I will be here for you and this baby. I am just in shock, I am sure you are too. We just started to get back on track, this is just something else we have to figure out.”
Bo pulled her into a tight hug, kissing her temple.

“We don’t have to figure this out tonight, Bo, we can table it for tonight.”
“Why don’t we eat and watch our movie? Then we can talk tomorrow.”
“Why don’t we eat and watch our movie? Then we can talk tomorrow.”
“I like that idea.”
She smiled as she felt a little bit of the fear lift. Then her heart stopped as he lowered his face to her stomach and kissed it.

“You like popcorn little one? Cause your mama’s going to be eating a lot of it.”
Then he stood kissing her and headed towards the food.
Nora felt herself fall in farther in love. She prayed they’d be able to figure out what do together.
