Chapter 32
Nora was driving around trying to find a place that was quiet. She felt her heart breaking. She knew Bo was in pain over this, but she didn’t realize how much until tonight. She finally stopped when she got to the lake outside of town. Nobody was there. She parked and looked out into the water. Her mind thinking about the phone call that changed her life.

She finally stopped when she got to the lake outside of town. Nobody was there. She parked and looked out into the water. Her mind thinking about the phone call that changed her life.
The baby was moving around tonight, her distress probably was bothering it. Nora took a deep breath and ran her hands up and down her stomach trying to calm the baby.
“Sorry honey, daddy and I just can’t seem to stop hurting each other. Don’t worry we’ll never hurt you like that.”
She smiled. She thought back to when Bo first bought an outfit for the baby. He was so happy and excited. No matter the pain he felt about this baby not being his. She knew his love was so great that the baby would never know the pain he felt. It would just be something between her and him. Her heart felt heavy again.

She got out of the car, needing to walk. She felt like crying, none would come out. She started to walk a little faster. Letting her emotions take over. That stupid phone call, that woman! Nora stopped walking and laughed. That woman, she didn’t even know the woman’s name who nearly destroyed her life. Did Bo even know her name, God isn’t that wonderful, Bo and her were still in deep pain over actions caused by a woman that nobody even knows!
“Nora?”
She jumped at the unexpected interruptions of her thoughts.

“Blake, what are doing here?”
“I have a little place up here. I come up here when I need to think. What are doing here?”
“Thinking.”
Blake looked away and shuffled his feet.

“Thinking.”
Blake looked away and shuffled his feet.
“Listen Nora, I am sorry about today. I had no right to say those things.”
“No you didn’t. You weren’t wrong in one aspect. I did sleep with you to get back at Bo, I am sorry about that.”
“No you didn’t. You weren’t wrong in one aspect. I did sleep with you to get back at Bo, I am sorry about that.”
“I know. So, how it the little one doing?”
“Very active.”
“Nora I want to be a part of this baby’s life.”
“Are you sure? Blake, I have no issues with you being in our child’s life, but you better be there for them. I don’t want them to have weekend dad or a dad who picks them up when he feels like it. That isn’t fair to this child, if you want to be their dad, you need to be there.”
“Nora, what if I am just there as an uncle?”
Nora’s head whip around.
“Nora I want to be a part of this baby’s life.”

“Nora, what if I am just there as an uncle?”
Nora’s head whip around.
“Uncle? Blake you this child’s father.”
“I know, I..Nora I don’t think I could be a father to this baby, Bo is going to be their father we all know that. I have no desire to put myself in that position where Bo and I are fighting for the love of this kid. But I want to know my own child. So what I am suggesting is I become a good friend to the family and be an uncle to them.”
Nora couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Nora couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“So you want to lie to our child?”
“Are we? Come on Nora, we all know biology doesn’t make you a parent. What you and Bo have and what you two will do with this child will be parenting. I won’t fit in that picture. Nora it isn’t like you ever loved me. This child should have been yours and Bo’s. Let me be their uncle and let Bo be their father.”

“I don’t know Blake, I don’t like the idea of lying to my child.”
“Just think about it, talk to Bo.”
Blake turned around and left towards his own place. Nora stood there stunned by the request just given to her. In her heart this is what she wanted. Her and Bo to raise this baby just the two of them, but the idea of not tell her child their true identity bothered her.
She ran her hands through her hair, what a day.
“Just think about it, talk to Bo.”
