| CHAPTER 18
~ BRADY HOUSE ~ Bo and Hope are walking into their bedroom. Hope goes over to her dresser draw and pulls out the calendar she uses to keep track of her cycle. �Well is it at all possible?� A very eager Bo asks �Give me a minute, I�m still calculating things.� Hope replies as she moves her fingers about. �And just why didn�t you calculate things when you first found out you were pregnant?� �Because I didn�t realize I was that far along.� She shouts as she looks up and gives him a stern look. �I�m sorry.� Bo replies as he throws his hands up in the air. �I�m sorry � calculate.� �Thank you.� She smirks back and begins all over. Bo becomes very frustrated and starts pacing the floor. �I could think a lot easier if you stood still.� Hope annoyingly stated not looking up from her calendar. �Okay.� She adds looking up at him.� �Okay what?� He states even more frustrated then ever. �Could I be or couldn�t I be?� Hope bit her bottom lip. �I�m not sure.� �What do you mean you aren�t sure.� He yells as he rips the calendar out of her hands. �It�s either possible or it�s not.� He looks through it. �Okay why is your last entry so far back?� An almost scared to speak look came across her face. �Things were really tense between the two of us for so long and I got so use to skipping a month that I guess I stopped marking it down.� He throws the calendar across the room. �Okay fine.� He says as he walks over takes her hands in his and helps her over to the bed. �We�ll do this the old fashion way. When was the last time the two of us had sex.� �The night before I found you in bed with Billie Reed.� Hope snickered. �Billie and I did not sleep together.� He yelled. �Why do you insists on going there?� �I�m sorry, I won�t mention Billie Reed again.� �Thank you.� He smirked bending down and picking up the calendar. �Now when is it you left for the Island?� �The following day.� �Okay and you and Patrick���..� Bo trailed off. �I don�t know exactly, he says we slept together here.� She replies pointing to a date on the calendar.� �You forgot when you and he��.ick�. I can�t even go there.� �No Brady I didn�t forget when ,I just don�t recall doing it.� He gives her a really strange look that almost frightens her. �Are you telling me that all this time that I though you were indeed pregnant with that man�s baby you never even remembered sleeping with him.� He tries to regain control of himself. �Okay then just what makes you think that the two of you actually did.� Hope puts her tongue between her lips and bites down. �Because he told me we did and I didn�t have any reason not to believe him.� Bo throws his head back in disgust. �Because he told you so!� He screamed really loud. �You believed the word of a man who tried to rape you. A man who has caused us nothing but grief.� He got up and started pacing the floor again. �A man who has been trying to get you into bed for months�..A man who works for the family that has keeps us apart.� He walks up to her and stares her down. �Many times and has tired to kill each of us on many different occasions�..that�s the kind of man you choose to believe when he tells you the two of you slept together?� Hope wasn�t sure what to say, so she decided to say nothing at all. He stands up. �Well just don�t sit there Hope � say something, anything!� �I think you need to take a walk and we can talk about this later.� He sits back down on the bed with her and counts to ten. �I promise to remain calm. What do you remember about your time on the Island with Patty Boy?� �We mostly talked about my marriage and how I shouldn�t give up on you or on us. He was very supportive the first few days.� �And then?� �And then he started flirting with me and well.� She tries to get up but he won�t let her. �We went out to dinner and that night we kissed.� Bo�s face was enough to make Hope sick. �You okay?� Bo asked as she ran into the bathroom. �I�ll be fine.� She yelled back. �Just give me a few minutes.� �Can I get you anything?� �Not at the moment.� Hope stated five minutes before coming out of the bathroom. �I went down to the kitchen and brought you up some Ginger Ale and crackers.� Bo said as she made her way back over to the bed. �I�m sorry I lost it before it�s just I thought you were smarter then to believe a word Lockhart would say.� �Bo please.� Hope pleaded as she laid back. �I don�t want to fight anymore.� He lays down next to her and leans on his left shoulder. �You�re right we shouldn�t be fighting about this.� With his free hand he lifts her shirt and places his hand on her bare stomach. �We should be celebrating the fact that the baby inside you, might be mine.� �I really think she is yours Bo.� �You know that�s the second time today you said she.� He replied as he placed tiny kisses on her belly. Hope brought her arms up behind her head. �I guess subconsciously I really do want this baby to be a girl.� Bo kisses her stomach one last time before bringing his lips to hers. �You know what I like best about fighting with you?� He asked before he over took her hot luscious lips. �I�m not really sure maybe you could give me a hint..� Hope answered after his lips left hers and trailed over to her ear. �How�s this for a hint.� He stated while his hand slid up the back of her shirt and undid her bra.� �I really�� She sighed as his tongue tickled down her neck. �Think that helped me��� start to remember�� but things are still a little��.. fuzzy.� She added breathless. �Well maybe this will help.� He seduced as her body went limp and they made true mad passionate love for the first time in a very, very long time. |
