CHAPTER 1

�Good Morning Brady.� Hope says as she comes walking down the stairs.

�Shhhhhh!� Bo says as he looks over at the playpen. �I just got Ciara back to sleep.�

�You know Brady you really shouldn�t be picking her up.� She stated as she lightly gave him a kiss. �You just got out of the Hospital after having major surgery.�

�I really wish you�d stop worrying about me so much.�

�Impossible.� She laughs as she looks down on Ciara. �I would have gotten her you should have woken me.�

�Have you ever tired waking you.� He laughed back. �I could set a bomb off and you�d never know it.�

She looks out the front window. �Bo were you in the back yard at all this morning.�

�Nope can�t say I was,� He replied looking through the paper. �Why?�

She shrugs him off. �Nothing really. I�m going to go get some coffee.�

Something bothered Bo as she walked past him so he followed her into the kitchen. �Okay Fancy Face what gives?�

�Nothing.� She replies as she turns around from looking out the backdoor window. �I just though I heard something is all.�

�You seem a little tense.� He adds as he wraps his arms around her waist. �Would you like me to go out back and look around.�

�No.� She sighs. �It was probably just a cat or something.� She gives him a kiss and then pushes him away. �Would you like a cup or do you already have coffee?�

�Alright that�s it.� Her says firmly as he opens the back door. �I�ll be right back.�

A few moments later Bo comes back into the kitchen and enters the living room. �There is nobody out there�. And I�m talking to myself!�

�You say something?� Hope asked as she walked up behind him.

He swung around and threw his arms around her. �Yes there is nobody in the yard.�

�I told you, you didn�t have to go out there.�

�Yes I know.� He agreed �But I know you well enough to know that if I didn�t go check you�d never let it go.�

�Thank you.� She said before giving him a kiss and then trying to push back out of his arms. �Bo I have to get to work.�

�I was kinda thinking�� He said as he started to unbutton her blouse. �That maybe you could call in sick and the two of us could��.�

She grabbed his hands and made him stop. �Bo until the doctors���

�Forget the doctors.� Bo replied as he over took her hands from his and pulled her close. �What do they know anyway?� He added while he trickled tiny kisses down her neck.

�You can try you seduce me as much as you want Bo Brady but I�m not�.� She tried to catch her breath as his kisses become more intense and harder to resist. �But I�m not giving in.� She added as she was finally able to push herself free of him. �We are not having sex until the doctor tells me personally that it�s okay.�

He walks up behind her and snakes his hands around her waist. �But I have a headache and trust me Doctor Dan can�t help me.�

Hope tried not to laugh. �Then I suggest you take two aspirins.�

�Trust me that won�t work!� Bo insisted as he flung her around and pulled her body as close to him as possible.

Hope was about to make a smart remark when the door bell rang. �I need to get that.�

Bo got frustrated and dropped his arms. �Go away.� He yelled.

�And Good Morning to you too.�Lexie yelled from the other side of the door.�

Hope stepped backwards a few steps and looked down and then back up to Bo�s eyes. �You might want to sit on the couch before I open the door.�

Bo went to sit on the couch and Hope couldn�t stop laughing as she opened the front door.

�I hope we didn�t come at a bad time?� Lexie asked as she gave Hope a hug.

�No please come in.� Hope replied.

Lexie and the woman she was with walked over to Bo. �Bo Brady this is Nancy Westerling your nurse.�

�My what?� Bo asked as he jumped up and looked over at Hope, who in turn gave him a look and he instantly sat back down and grabbed a pillow. �I do not need a nurse Hope.�

�Fine then.� Hope said as she walked over and picked up a now crying Ciara. �Then just think of her as somebody to help take care of Ciara while I�m at work.�

�Lexie there is some coffee in the kitchen.� Bo point blankly said. �Why don�t you take Nancy here into the kitchen and enjoy a cup while my wife and I have a talk.�

Lexie took Ciara from Hope and whispered �Good luck.� Into her ear before heading into the kitchen with both Nancy and the baby.

Bo waited for them to leave the room before he stood. �Hope I do not need a nurse. I am capable of taking care of myself and our daughter.�

�Bo please don�t argue with me on this. I�d feel so much better knowing she was here with you and Ciara while I�m working.�

�I�ve got a better idea why don�t you stay home with me and Ciara and take care of us yourself?�

�Because like it or not the bills won�t pay themselves.�

�I believe you have a trust fund that would take care of them.� Bo added.

�One that you�ve been telling me for years I couldn�t touch.� She rebutted. �Now behave yourself and let Nancy help you with Ciara.� She gave him a kiss. �I have to go. I�ll call you later to see how everything�s going.�

Bo looked like a little kid who just had his candy taken away as she walked towards the door. �Fine maybe Nancy has something for my headache.�

Hope quickly turned around and gave Bo a look that could kill.

�No no no���..I seriously have a migraine.�
