Undermined Endearment Chapter 37

I had to create a second page for this story. It stopped saving after chapter 34 on the first. So if you want to read the story in the entirety Read Pages Undermined Endearment and Undermined Endearment Part 2, both are located on the left. 

Chapter 37

Nora woke, she smiled as she heard Bo talking to the cooing baby. She opened her eyes and watched father and daughter bond. Bo looked over and saw she was awake, his smile grew larger.

“Hey there. We were just talking while you rested.”

He walked over, gently handed the baby to her. Nora cuddled her close.
“So what you want to name this kido.”
Nora adjusted the baby so her and Bo could look at her.

“I think you should have the honor daddy.”
Bo gave a brilliant smile.

“Me?”
“Don’t pretend you haven’t had the name picked out for months.”
He gave her a sheepish look.

“I really like the name  Amelia Mae?”

Nora looked at her daughter.

“Yeah, she looks like an Amelia Mae Buchanan.” Nora kissed her tiny nose. “Welcome to the world Amelia.”
Bo pushed Nora’s hair from her face.

“You feeling okay?”
“Yeah, just a little achy and tired, but at least she is here. And now I get to use my Jewish mother guilt on her for making me miserable for days.”
Bo laughed.

“Amelia you sure where difficult this past week. Just like your mom.”
“Hey.”
Bo nuzzled her.

“How about what happened before we came to the hospital, you okay?”
Nora felt a lump in her throat.

“I will be. I think you were right most of that was being tried along with hormones. I can’t say it won’t bother me, but I know it’s going to be okay. I know you don’t view what happened as me cheating.”
“I don’t, I never have or will. It was a dark time for both of us honey.” He kissed her again. “And look at what came from the dark chapter” Bo tickled Amelia’s cheek. “ A brilliant ray of sunshine, that we will never lose.”
Nora smiled.

“Yes we did.”

A knock broke the tranquility of the moment.

“Come in.”
Blake walked in with a stuffed animal in his hand. Nora felt herself tense. Bo rubbed her back.

“Bo, Nora. I just thought I come by and say congrats and maybe see the baby.”
Nora looked at Amelia, so unaware of the situation she was born in. Nora took a deep breath.

“Of course.”
Blake handed the little dog to Nora.

“Thank you. I am sure she’ll love this.”
Nora could tell how nervous Blake was, she decided to take pity on him.

“Blake would you like to hold your..niece?”
Blake relaxed and smiled.

“I’d love too.”
Bo took the baby from Nora then gently handed her to Blake. Blake looked at her then got a huge smile on his face.

“She is beautiful. What did you name her?”
“Bo named her. Amelia Mae Buchanan.”
She could see Blake eyes fight back tears..

“Hi Amelia, I am your..I am Blake and I hope I can be a good friend to you. You have a very special mommy and daddy who will take really good care of you.”
Blake handed Amelia back to Bo. He wiped away his tears.

“Blake you know we’ll have an open door policy for you.”
He nodded.

“Thank you. I know you two will be amazing parents to her.” Blake looked over at the baby again. “I should go.”
Nora felt herself relax and breath again once Blake left.

“That wasn’t to bad Red.”
“No, I just hope I can stop getting tense around him. At some point she is going to notice.”
Bo started to rock the baby as she began to fuss.

“You will Red, it will take time.”

She sighed.

“She hungry?”
“Probably. You want her?”
“Give her to me.”
Nora adjusted her clothes as Bo gave her Amelia. Moments later Amelia latched on.

“Well she knows how to eat!”
“Just like her parents!”

Nora giggled. Bo moved behind her and put his arms around her. Nora sighed and leaned back into him. Bo kissed her.

“Red, this is the most perfect moment I could image.”
Nora smiled.

“Yes, it really is.”
