Christmas Future..................Part II
Last time:
In the car on the way home.....
Matthew: “Daddy I’m sorry. I promise I won’t
say it again.”
Bo: “You see Matthew that when you make a promise you are
supposed to keep it. That means
that you don’t tell anyone about the ring. I know, that you’re
excited, and I am to, but I want
Mommy to be really surprised when I give it to her. Ok?”
Matthew: “OK I really don’t mean it. You know what Daddy?
I’m going to forget about it. I
don’t know what you got Mommy for Christmas.”
************************************************************************************************************************************
Matthew: “Mommy guess what!”
Nora: “What is it sweetie?”
Matthew: “Daddy brought me to see Santa Claus, and it was
really Uncle Hank!”
Nora: “What? Uncle Hank was Santa?”
Matthew: “Yeah, he said he was Santa’s helper, and he
was going to tell him that I have been a
very good boy, and to get me a red bike.”
Nora: “A red bicycle?”
Matthew: “Yeah, and it’s just for me and me only.”
Bo: “Hey Matthew, I don’t think Santa will get that
for you if you keep talking like that.”
Nora: “Daddy’s right Matthew, that’s not the way
Mommy’s sweet boy talks. I don’t think
Santa would like that, and remember he’s watching you.”
Matthew: “You better watch out”
Nora: “You better not cry!”
Bo: “You better not pout.”
Bo and Nora: “Cause I’m telling you why.”
Matthew: “Santa Claus is coming to town.”
Bo: “Now lets go upstairs and get a bath, and brush your
teeth, and go to bed so Santa can come tomorrow night.”
Nora: “Yes, remember you better listen, because he could
change his mind on that bike, and give your bike to someone else.”
Matthew: “Ok, I’m sorry. Daddy, after can you read my
new Christmas book to me?”
Bo: “Ok, lets go.”
Nora: “Good, I’ve got to finish this brief anyway. I’ll
be up there to tuck in Ok?”
Later that evening...
Bo and Nora are on the couch snuggled up, watching “Miracle
on 34th Street.”
Nora: “I just love this movie.”
Bo: “I know we watch it every year.”
Nora: “ I thought you forgot, when we weren’t together.”
Bo: “I could never forget anything thing that we did together.
Ya know what every year, when we weren’t together I would
sit at home, and watch this movie, just thinking of what you were
doing, if you were watching it too. Or if you were with Sam.”
Nora: “Oh Bo” she reaches up and touches his cheek.
“Don’t even think about that. We are together. Sam will
never bother us again. I promise you that. He’s in Statesville
where he belongs, along with Lindsay and Troy, and Melanie.”
Bo: “I know that Red. I love you.” He kisses her, and
as at it gets more passionate he lays her on the couch, Kerri
opens the door.
Kerri: “Oh I’m sorry. I feel so bad.”
Bo: “Don’t worry Rachel used to do that all the time.”
Kerri: “I’ll be out of your way. Goodnight!’
Bo: “I think better be going home too.”
Nora: “Do you have to?”
Bo: “Unfortunately I do, I have to take care of something.”
Nora: “Bo, why don’t you move in here? I mean you are
here all the time anyway, and it’s not like we haven’t
done it before.”
Bo: “Well, why don’t we talk about it later honey. I
love you Red.”
Nora: “I love you too Commish.”
She walks him to door and they kiss as Bo walks out.
As he leave, she lingers by the door, and leans against it.
Nora: “Bo Buchanan, how can one you do things to me
that no one ever could, and then turn
and walk away? I know we agreed to take it slowly, but this is
ridiculous.”
She goes upstairs, and gets into bed. She stretches her hand over
the empty side of the bed:
Nora: “This is where you will be soon. Tomorrow night, if
I can help it.”
Bo’s Office the next morning....
Bo (on the phone): “Yes, I understand. Ok I’ll
be there today at one. Thanks Mac. I really
appreciate this....You too... Bye.”
Knock on the door... and Nora pokes her head though “Busy
Commish?”
Bo: “Never for you my love!” He gets up and kisses her.
Nora: “So what are we doing tonight?”
Bo: “Tonight, hmm well we have that party at Ben and Viki’s.
Then we’ll go back to the Garret
to put a little red bike together.”
Nora: “Sounds like a plan, but what about a little four year
old named Matthew Hanen Buchanan?”
Bo: “Well that’s easy Red, we’ll get Jessica, or
Jennifer, or someone to bring him home, and
we’ll get home before ‘Santa’ comes to our house.”
Nora: “Oh I like that plan, so what’s for lunch?”
Bo: “Oh well I have a meeting at one o’clock. It’s
really important.”
Nora: “Ok, well it’s eleven now, and I say that’s
plenty of time for lunch.”
Bo: “Ok well you talked me into it, how’s the Palace
sound?”
Nora: “Great lets go!”
Bo and Nora eat lunch, and talk about the plans they have for that evening. Nora is really anticipating this evening alone with Bo.
Bo tells her that he’ll be at her place to pick her and Matthew up at 7:00.
Nora goes to get Bo’s Christmas present. She heads straight to the mall., and her first stop is to Victoria Secret, to get something special to wear. Then she went to the jewlery store to pick up the pre-ordered pocket watch.
Bo goes to his meething, and everything is worked out, and he is given the keys to his new house.
Llanfair.....
Bo, Nora and Matthew arrive at Ben and Viki’s. Lois lets them in, and takes their coats. The party was just getting started. Everyone in Llanview was there.
Joey and Sophia were there. She called him when she got out of rehab, and they started talking, and Joey has even moved back to the States, and is living in the Florida beach house with Sophia.
Nora was taken back when she saw Kevin, and Rachel there.
They were together, Kevin and Kelly broke up and Kevin got an
offer with the paper in Chicago, and had to do a story on the
new drug rehab therapy at the Community Center and saw Rachel
there. They soon rekindled their romance.
Nora: “Rachel? What are you doing here? Why didn’t you
tell me about you and Kevin?”
Rachel: “Mom!” she walked over and hugged each other
then Rachel saw Matthew. “Look at my baby brother! You look
so cute! Mom, I have always thought Matthew looks like Bo, even
when we thought it was impossible.”
Bo: “You look great kiddo.”
Rachel gives Bo a kiss on the cheek. “Thanks Bo! You don’t
look so bad yourself.”
Matthew(tugs on Rachels dress): “Rachel guess what!”
Rachel bent over to Matthew’s level, “What?”
Matthew (trying to whisper in her ear, but talking loudly) “Daddy
and me got Mommy a gagement ring.”
Bo: “Matthew!!!”
Nora: “A what?”
Matthew: “Oh noooo, oh no,” Starts crying. “She
heard me. Daddy I’m sorry. I’m sorry Daddy!”
