| CHAPTER 29
~ Brady Bedroom ~ Hope is lying on the bed wrapped around her youngest son. Shannon is sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed and Bo has finally made his way into the office. The phone rings and she picks it up. �Hello.� �Hey sleepyhead how�s things going?� Bo asked on the other end. �Just what makes you think I�m sleeping?� �Oh I know you to well Fancy Face.� He laughed. �I�m calling because I forgot to tell you something this morning.� �Yea what�s that?� She asked as she played with Zack�s hair. �That I love you.� He replied sweetly and lovingly. �I think you told me that about hundred times before you left this morning.� He sat back in his chair and smiled. �I wanted to make sure I told you a hundred and one.� �It�s a good thing I never get tired of hearing it then.� She laughed. �How�s work going? Are you any closer to finding Georgia?� �Actually I�m surprised Billie hasn�t been here yet.� �I think she only came by this morning Bo, to annoy me.� Shaking his head. �I�m sorry about that.� �It�s not your fault that your ex-wife is a little wacko.� Hope laughed. �So what are your plans today?� He asked trying to change the subject. �Well Jenn called earlier and wanted to know if I wanted to take the kids and meet her and Jack Jr. at the park around one. You�re more then welcome to join us.� She stated hopeful. �I�d love to Hope but I have a ton of paperwork to go over.� �Maybe another time.� �Defiantly another time.� Bo replied as Roman walked in. �Listen Fancy Face I have to go I love you.� �I love you too Brady.� She said before she hung up. �Mommy can we go to the park now?� Zack asked opening his eyes. Hope laughed as she gave him a big hug. ~*~ ~Bo�s Office ~ �So little brother when are you going to tell your wife about the mystery girl you�ve been searching for?� Roman asked as he sat across from him. �I don�t know why Shane told you anything before he left town.� Bo stated annoyed. �Because he�s your friend and he�s worried about you.� Roman frankly stated. �I really think you should clue Hope in on what happened.� �Roman I was out of it and as for as I know I could have dreamt the whole thing� I wanted to find Georgia and there she was�standing right in front of me, talking to me� just the thought that the same little girl I�ve travel all over the place looking for actually found me�.. is crazy� �So basically you�re trying to talk yourself out of believing what you actually saw. Is that going to make you forget?� �Roman the last thing I need right now is a lecture from you. I�ve got to much on my mind as it is.� �So talk to Hope let her know what�s going on.� �Roman like I said before I�m not even sure she was my daughter, so lets� just drop it.� Bo said annoyed as he left his office. ~*~ ~ Salem Park ~ Jenn is sitting on a blanket feeding Jack Jr. when Hope, Zack and Shannon come walking up behind them. �I�m so sorry we�re late.� �I�m just glad you came at all.� Jenn stated as Hope sat down next to her. �How�s the little one doing?� �I�m telling you Jenn either I�m getting old or raising children is getting harder.� �I think it�s a little bit of both.� Jenn laughed �Mommy I want to play ball.� Zack whined. �Please, please, please play with me.� Jenn looked over at Hope who looked so tired so she jumped up. �What do think about aunt Jenn playing with you for a little while.� She takes the ball from Zack. Zack looked like he wanted to cry. �I want mommy to play with me.� �Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.� Bo yelled walking up behind them and picking Zack up. �Everything�s always about mommy.� �Daddy.� Zack yelled as he gave him a big hug. �I thought you had way too much work to do today Brady?� Hope asked smiling up at him. �And tomorrow.� He bent down and kissed her. �I�ll have even more work to do.� �I do love you Brady.� �It�s the only thing that keeps me going Fancy Face.� �Would the two of you like the rest of us to leave.� Jenn joked. �I�m sure I can clear the park out in less then five minutes flat�. all I have to do is yell fire.� �Don�t mind him.� Hope stated back as she playfully hit Bo�s leg. �He hasn�t had any for a while and it�s driving him crazy.� Bo was about to say something when Zack yelled. �Hasn�t had any what mommy?� Bo put Zack down. �I thought we were going to play catch.� �I don�t want to daddy.� Zack replied putting the ball down in front of him. �I want to show you how far I can kick it.� Hope put her hand up. �If you two are going to play kick ball please take it over there.� �Come on tiny man, lets go over by the swings and play.� �I so can�t believe how big he�s gotten.� Jenn said as Bo and Zack walked away. �I know what you mean.� Hope replied. �It seems like just yesterday I was changing his diapers and in a few months he�s going to be entering kindergarten.� Shannon started to fuss, so Jenn picked her up out of her stroller and handed her to Hope. �She feels kind of warm.� �I was thinking the same thing this morning.� Hope stated holding her hand on her forehead. �But I took her temperature and it was normal.� �I don�t know Hope maybe you should take her home and take it again.� Hope stuck a pacifier in Shannon�s mouth and laid her back in the stroller. �I think you�re right I better go.� She looked over towards where Bo and Zack were playing. �Bo honey.� She hollered �Shannon�s not feeling well I think we should get going.� Bo looked over at Hope just as Zack kicked the ball past him. �Come on Tiny man it�s time to go.� �My ball daddy, I need my ball.� Zack screamed. �Go over and get it, I�ll wait right here for you� Bo stated as Zack took off. �Bo something�s wrong.� Hope yelled really scared. �I think we need to get her to the hospital now.� �What�s the matter Fancy Face?� Bo asked running over. �Go, take her to the hospital I�ll take care of Zack.� Jenn said starting to worry as well. �Thanks Jenn. Bo said taking the baby from Hope. �We�ll call you later and let you know what�s happening.� Hope, Bo and Shannon all took off to the car. �Come on Zack we have to go.� Jenn yelled packing Jack Jr. and his things up. �We�re going to go back to my house and see what Abby�s up to.� She picked up the blanket to fold it as she looked over to where Zack was. �Zack�. Zack where are you.� She yelled canvassing the park with her eyes. �Zack!� She yelled a few more times before she started to panic. �Jenn what�s the matter?� Jack asked running up behind her. �Jack thank god you�re here.� She yelled giving him a big hug. �It�s Zack he was right here and now he�s gone.� |
