| CHAPTER 13
Bo and Hope get off the elevator and head to Shawn�s apartment door. Bo is just about to knock when Hope grabs his hand and stops him. �Brady what if he doesn�t take the news of me having another baby well? I still don�t think he�s gotten over the loss of Zack yet, this could devastate him� �Then we�ll deal with it, but he has the right to know and it�s better if we are the ones who tell him.� He replies as he tries yet again to knock, without success. �Brady almost the whole family knows, what if somebody�s already told him?� �Fancy Face your stalling.� He replied lovingly. �Now can I please knock on the door, so we can talk to our son.� �Maybe we should have called first?� �Hope!� �Fine.� She replied as she lightly knocked on the door. �Oh yea.� He laughed, knocking on the door as well. �He�s really going to hear that.� �Mom, dad what are you doing here?� Shawn asked as he opened the door. �Can we come in?� Bo asked. �Sorry.� Shawn replied as he moved at of the way. �Please come in.� He gave his mom a kiss as she entered the room. �Can I get either of you something to drink.� �Actually I�d love��� Hope started to say when Bo cut her off. �No, we�re fine thank you.� �The two of you look awful serious.� Shawn remarked as both Bo and Hope sat on the couch. �Did I do something wrong.� �No!� Bo and Hope both stated in unison. �Can�t two loving parents just stop by and say hi to their favorite son, who they haven�t seen in weeks?� Hope smiled. �I�m sorry I haven�t stopped by.� Shawn stated as he sat on the edge on a nearby chair. �It�s just I�ve been really busy with work and school and all. However I did hear that the two of you worked things out and are back together.� �Is that all you�ve heard?� Hope asked not sure if she should have. �Meaning?� Shawn asked confused. �Meaning.� Bo chimed in. �That your mom and I have some great news and we want to make sure nobody else told you yet.� �Oh.� Shawn smiled. �You mean the fact that you and mom are having another baby.� �We wanted to tell you.� Hope sadly replied. �Mom.� Shawn said as he got up and gave her a huge hug. �I don�t care how I found out. I�m just so glad that you and dad worked everything out and are getting another chance at being parents.� He leans back onto the edge of the couch. �This baby sister or brother of mine couldn�t ask for two better parents. Can I just put in a request for a baby sister this time.� �I don�t think it works that way.� Bo laughs. �But I�ll talk to your mothers stomach and see if there�s anything I can do to fulfill that request.� ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Later on that day Hope is in the kitchen talking on her cell phone when the doorbell rings. �Jenn somebody�s at the door is it okay if I call you back later.� �Yeah that�s fine.� Jenn replies on the other end. �Just let me know how things go with Patrick and if you change your mind about wanting me there when you tell him.� �Jenn, I�ll be fine.� Hope insisted as she walked over to the front door. �I�ll call you later, I promise.� She hangs up the phone and opens the front door. �Victor!� �Where is my son?� He barked as he walked past her. �He�s not here!� Hope replied annoyed. �What do you want?� He turns and looks at her. �I would like to know why I wasn�t informed that my son was having another child! Do you know how humiliating it is to be in a board meeting and not have a clue why people are congratulating me? You�d think my son or his wife would have the decency to tell me themselves.� �I�m sorry if we hurt your feelings Victor.� Hope said sarcastically. �But I can assure you that wasn�t our intention.� �Tell Bo I was here.� He replied as he walked out the opened door. �Whatever.� Hope shook her head before shutting it behind him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Meanwhile Bo is down at the pier sitting on the docks with his feet hanging over the edge. He�s so lost in thought that he didn�t even hear anybody come up behind him. �What�s the matter Bo.� Patrick smirked. �Can�t get the though of Hope and myself having sex out of your head?� You can see the rage build up in Bo as his fist become tight. �I know I can�t get the smell of her hair or the touch of her bare skin out of my thoughts��..� Bo jumped up to his feet and Patrick quickly stepped back, causing Bo to snicker. �If you want to live past these few seconds I suggest you don�t mention my wife again.� �Like it or not Bo, Hope and I have made a connection.� �You took advantage of my wife���.� �It�s not my fault you weren�t man enough to take care of her yourself. That you let Billie Reed and your long lost, not so dead, bastard daughter ruin your marriage.� �You little�� Bo yelled as he grabbed him around the neck and pushed him back. �Bo don�t do this.� Roman yelled as he tried to pulled him off of Patrick. �He�s not worth it.� �But the satisfaction would be!� Bo exclaimed �Bo, let go of him.� Roman demanded Bo slowly let up on his grasp and then shoved him across the pier. �You go anywhere near my wife Lockhart and I swear I�ll kill you where you stand!� Roman tugged at Bo�s arm. �You need to calm down and go home. I will take care of Patrick.� �This isn�t over Lockhart!� Bo demanded as he walked off. �I want that man arrested for attempted murder.� Patrick spit out once he was able to speak. �I haven�t a clue what you are talking about.� Roman clearly replied. �You do look however slightly under the weather. You might be coming down with something, maybe you should go home and get some rest.� He added as he tapped the side of his face with his right hand and walked off as well. |
