Nora: How’s it going, Champ?
Bo: Getting stronger everyday.
Nora: Great! (she continues to put away the clothing)
Bo: C’mere a minute…. (she walks over to him and he grabs her around the waist, pulling her next to him on the bed)
Nora: I love you too. (she kisses him) this will all be over soon I hope. We just have to get either the evil pod you to slip up, or Lindsey…
Bo: Something Lindsey said is still bugging me though…she said this was all so she could have her Bo, me…Melanie could have her Bo, him…and Colin could have you…
Nora: Sweetheart, I told you, I am only interested in him for his information on Lindsey…
Bo: I know, but do you think he could some how be in on this with them? I mean, I don’t know the guy from Adam…and not that I like the idea, but you do have a rapport with him.
Nora: Mmmm, Buchanan, jealousy does not become you!
Bo: I am not jealous! I just don’t like thinking of anyone but me touching you…
Nora: He doesn’t touch me…I won’t let him…it gives me the creeps thinking of him…like that…Eewww! No…I don’t want anyone but you touching me…how bout we do a little touching now?
They start kissing and fall back on the bed in to a steamy clinch. For the first time since they’ve been back together, Bo feels strong enough and ready enough to move a bit further in the relationship.
Bo: Hey…(whispering between kisses) I really wanna make love to you…
Nora: Are you sure you're ready? I mean I am perfectly fine with this…
Bo Yeah, I am sure. But if you don’t want me…
Nora: Oh, Bo…I have wanted you for so long…
Bo: I do love you so much…
He starts to kiss her with more passion and he moves his hand on to her breast, massaging through the soft knit shell. He continues to the edge of the sweater and runs his hand under it, and slowly back up her stomach, under her bra and continues the massage. She reaches down and unbuttons his jeans and slides her hand under the waistband of his boxers. They are so totally consumed in their passion that they do not hear footsteps approaching the bedroom. The door flies open.
Rachel: Hey Mom! I just…. OH MY GOD!!! (covering her eyes in embarrassment)
Nora sits up quickly and tries in vain to straighten her sweater and push her hair back in to some order.
Rachel: Mom! Colin?
Bo: (sitting up) A-hem. No.
Rachel: Oh my God! Mom?… What the?… No!… No way!…You scummy slime bag! How dare you! After all you’ve done!
Nora: Rachel….
Rachel: You…you worthless piece of garbage! (she walks up to Bo and slaps him in the face)
Nora: Rachel!!! Wait!
Bo: Nora.(putting his hand reassuringly on Nora’s knee) I suppose on some level I deserve that.
Rachel: Deserve? I’ll tell you what you deserve…you filth!
She raises her hand for another blow, but Nora catches her and pulls her back.
Nora: Rachel Gannon!! Stop!!
Rachel: (starting to cry) Mom…how could you…after all he’s put you through…all the horrible things he’s said…Matthew….
Nora: (hugging her daughter) Rachel…sshhh…honey sit down and listen…
Nora sits and starts to relate the whole story of Bo and faux Bo, of how this was the Bo that Rachel grew up loving. How he had been actually living with them the past two weeks without Rachel even knowing….
Rachel: I can’t believe this…Daddy is going to be thrilled!! He has missed his best buddy.
Bo: Hold on sweetie! Hank can’t know. Not just yet. I don’t want this imposter to run. So…this will have to be our secret. Just the three of us…OK?
Rachel: On one condition…
Bo: What?
Rachel: Two questions…first one…what did you buy me for my 19th birthday and why was it so special?
Bo: I bought you a locket that said,
“To the sweetest daughter a guy never had, all my love, Dad”
With the Dad in quotation marks.
Rachel: It is you!
Nora: Is that what that locket says?
Rachel: Yup! Second question…do you love my mom?
Bo: Rachel, I love your mother with everything I am.
Rachel: It really is you! Bo, I am sorry I hit you…its just that when I saw that…I saw purple! I mean you treated…I mean he treats mom so badly! She even changed her name back to Hanen. And Matthew…he’s so horrible to him…doesn’t even acknowledge him as ….
Nora: Rachel…Bo and I have to talk about things…could you excuse us please?
Rachel: Sure. You looked a little
busy there anyways! You two…how many times in my life have
I busted in on you? Ha! Too may to count! (hugging Bo) I am so
glad you are here! Life can only get better!!!

Kristoff is on the phone setting up some bank accounts in off shore foreign banks when Melanie walks in….
Melanie: How’s my favorite commissioner doing today?
Kristoff: Oh! Melanie! You startled me! Don’t sneak up on me like that!
Melanie: Calm down Bo. Who was that? You sounded like you were speaking Spanish…
Kristoff: German (author’s note: Do Spanish and German sound anything alike? I think not!)
Melanie: Oh! They are so close. I didn’t know you spoke German…
Kristoff: So…what does my best gal want to do tonight? Dinner? Maybe a show? I hear there a great review over in Pine Valley…
Melanie: Why do you always want to go out of town? We never do anything around here anymore…the Palace or Rodi’s or even the diner…
Kristoff: (hugging her around the waist) It’s just that you say you feel so out of place at Rodi’s…and its so dirty…and the diner…well, I don’t want to run into anyone…
Melanie: Like whom?
Kristoff: I don’t know…Colin…or worse yet…the lawyer…
Melanie: Bo, I know you are divorced from Nora…but it seems like you’re getting more and more agitated by her….
Kristoff: She brings out the worst of me…
Melanie: But you were married to her…you do have a child together…
Kristoff: Now see? You are ruining a great day by talking about the black widow and her squirrelly kid. Now I just want to talk about us… us and more us…
Melanie: Promise me something?
Kristoff: Anything for the love of my life (kissing her)
Melanie: Promise me you will try to be civil to her. I am starting to feel bad for her, and for Matthew…
Kristoff: He has Sam.
Melanie: I know, and that is great, but he still is your biological child… and for because of that you should at least be civil…
Kristoff: One way-ward sperm and I get saddled with a kid I don’t want…
Melanie: Bo Buchanan! You should never
say that about a child! I never want to hear that again!
You should feel a bit blessed that you were able to bring that
sweet little boy into this world! And you should feel doubly blessed
that Sam has agreed to raise him as his own!
Kristoff: Fine! Fine.I promise! I know I’ll never hear the end of it if I don’t! Now, where were we? (kissing her)
Colin and Lindsey are lying in bed
after just finishing a roll in the sack.
Lindsey: So…what is your plan to keep Nora outta Kristoff’s
hair?
Colin: Well, I was thinking…since I have such a magnetic draw on you…I mean (chuckles) you obviously keep coming back for more…and I had your sister hooked for a while…I think I will work my charms on her…
Lindsey: I don’t like that plan…and we still have to find Bo…
Colin: Not to worry my sweet…not to worry…once I am in Nora’s bed…I am sure it will flush out the ol’ troll…(he kisses her)
Lindsey: I still don’t like the fact that you are going to bed St. Nora. Why does every man in my life have to sleep with that witch?
Colin: Lindsey…I have told you
so many times…your so ugly when your jealous…now…let’s
see if we can reassure you just where my true intentions are….
************************************************
Back in Bo and Nora’s bedroom.
Bo: What did Rachel mean about Matthew? He doesn’t even acknowledge what?
Nora: (starts walking around the room wringing her hands) Bo…this is really a good thing…and I know it is a really weird way to find this out…I really had a better way in my mind to do this…
Bo: Honey…just tell me.
Nora: Bo…I love you…along time ago we had something so very special…remember the night we tried to make a baby? And then a couple weeks later I thought I was pregnant…and then I was spotting and they thought I lost the baby…then all that stuff with Drew happened?
Bo: Nora…honey get to the point.
Nora: Bo…I was pregnant then…I was pregnant when I slept with Sam. I was pregnant with your child…your son…Bo…Matthew is your son.
Bo: My…my…son? (he puts his hand to his forehead) Matthew is my son? You’re sure? This isn’t just because…
Nora: (sitting down next to him on the bed) This isn’t anything but what we dreamed about so long ago. Oh Bo, he is so much your son! He smiles and it’s your smile His eyes..they are yours.. His laugh, the way his eyes turn to little slits and…Bo he’s such a beautiful little boy. When he questions me, it’s you. Bo…when we got the test done this summer, and it proved Matthew was yours…I was so ecstatic! I ran to you and, well, seeing that it wasn’t you…he told me he felt very strange raising a child that had been with Sam for so long…and….
Bo: Nora, I am speechless. This is so incredible!
Nora: You want to claim him, right?
Bo: Oh…honey…don’t even joke! My son!!
Nora: Well, there is the bad news…first, he hates you, well…evil you…thanks to Rachel. And second, when evil you denied paternal rights, we all agreed to let Sam raise Matthew as his own.
Bo: What?? How did that happen?
Nora: Like I was saying…when I went to you…him…he didn’t want to be part of Matthew’s life…he said it was wrong for him to step in and take another man’s child. He said since we were divorced, there was no reason to reopen a dead relationship because of a child…I (she chokes up) I was so hurt…
Bo: (quietly) That was him…(he puts his arm around her) I am Matthew’s father. I want my son with me. I want you with me. I want my family.
Nora: (resting her head on his shoulder) I want that too. Very much.
