Contact - Chapter 4   She woke up with a start, where was she? Then she smelled his cologne and the memory of last night came flooding back. “What you do to me Buchanan!” “What is it he does to you mommy?” Nora was brought back to the present to see her son with breakfast and Bo standing behind him smiling. She had changed into a LPD shirt she had found in Bo’s bag and that was all she had on. She pulled the covers up to cover her. “Yeah what is it I do to you?” he smiled and his eyes were sparkling. She was falling completely and totally. She smiled. “So what’s for breakfast?” he loved the way she dodged that bullet. Hell he loved everything about her. “Cold Pizza.” She laughed. “Of course, what else would we Buchanans have?” Matthew upset by her comment, ran out of the room. Bo caught what she said, and was happy about it, but knew Matthew was hurting, Nora was oblivious to what happened. Bo was on Matthew’s heels as he slammed the door to his room shut. Nora was behind him, “What happened?” she asked innocently. “He doesn’t know he’s a Buchanan.” “What have I done?” she started to cry. Bo held her close. “Hey it’s okay, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Now we have to tell him. No more stalling.” She pulled back nodding her head. “Nora, do you think he will be happy, with me as his dad I mean?” “Are you kidding me, Bo he loves you, he can’t stop talking about all the things you do with him.” Bo was nervous. She grabbed his face. “Look at me.” He turned. “Everything is going to be fine, now let’s go tell Matthew the truth.” She knocked on the door. “Go away!” “Matthew, honey, can we please talk to you.” “NO!” “Hey champ, your mom and I have something important to tell you. Can we please come in?” “Leave me alone!” Nora was crying. Bo wasn’t sure what to do. If they pushed there way in – it would not be a great start, but if they didn’t he would be going though all this pain for no reason. He looked at Nora and decided to gamble. Opening the door and walking over to the bed, he put his hand on Matthew’s back “Hey champ, we need to talk about something important.” “Mom’s a Buchanan, you’re a Buchanan, but I’m a Rappaport.” Nora started walking towards the bed. “You know what champ, your mom and I need to talk to you about that. What if I told you that you were a Buchanan too?” “Did you adopt me?” he asked his 6 year old eyes full of wonder. “Nope, don’t have to.” “You mean you don’t want to.” He slammed his face back in the pillow. Bo grabbed him and pulled him up to face him. “No, I didn’t adopt you because you are my son, you are just as much a Buchanan as I am. You are the child of Nora and Bo Buchanan. Okay?” “What about daddy?” he looked at Nora then at Bo. Bo looked at Nora. Nora sat with them on the bed. “Bo is your daddy, sweetheart. We just didn’t know it until a few months ago. The hospital said that you were Sam’s son.” She looked at Bo, knowing that this had to be causing him pain, it was tearing her heart out and she didn’t remember it, but he did, he remembered all of it and all the pain was on his face. “But you were married to Bo, I mean dad?” It was a question. Bo loved that he called him dad, hated that they had to go back to the past, the darkest time in his life. “Yes, I was married to Bo, but I made a mistake.” Bo knew this was killing her as much as it was him. “You know what champ, why don’t we go get the pizza and watch some cartoons let this information sink in and then your mom and I will answer all your questions okay?” “Okay,” he paused and looked back with a small smile on his lips, “I’m really a Buchanan.” Bo was ecstatic Matthew was happy he was a Buchanan. “Son, you are all Buchanan,” he looked back at Nora, “well you have a little Hanen in you too.” He smiled. Matthew was so happy Bo was his dad. No, BO WAS HIS DAD, YES! He ran back into Bo’s arms. “I love you dad.” “I love you too Matthew very, very much.” Matthew headed to watch TV. He still had questions but they could wait. He was hungry! “Hey you okay Red?” Bo put his hand under her chin lifting her face to meet his. “Bo, I am so sorry this is all my fault, if I hadn’t slept….” Bo didn’t want to let her finish so he put his fingers to her lips. “Shhh, you know what, it’s over, we can’t go back , we can’t undo, we can go forward and we can enjoy every minute we have with that little boy and with each other. I lost you once, I gave up, the end to our marriage was not just you – just like it takes two to make a marriage work, it takes two to break it up and I did my share. So let’s let it go, we will answer all his questions with as much information as he needs and no more. And I will be here to hold you or to be your punching bag, whatever you need. Okay?” She nodded. “What about you, what about what you need? Are you gonna yell and scream at me or just walk away.” He pulled her close. “Yelling and screaming doesn’t get us anywhere, but I will talk to you, and I can’t promise I won’t ever walk away, but I will always warn you first and I will ALWAYS come back. He pushed her back to look into her eyes, “You got that?” “Yeah Commish, I got that,” she pulled him closer. “Thank you Bo, thank you for that little boy in the other room, thank you for your strength and most of all thank you for loving me.” “Always Red, Always and Forever. Let’s go get some pizza.”   They finished their pizza and decided to spend the day at the lodge, Matthew was playing in the treehouse and Bo and Nora were watching him from the porch. Nora wanted to talk to him about his job. “So when are you going back to work?” “I’m not.” “What do you mean you’re not?” He looked at her. “Nora, I missed so much time with Matthew, I don’t want to miss anymore, I want to be able to see every game, go to every school function, I can’t do that and be the Commissioner. I was thinking about going to work for Asa.” “You’re kidding right? You hate that kind of work, you always have, you love helping people, you are good at it.” “I will help people, the two most important people in my life, Matthew and you.” He leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. “Do you have a problem with that.” “No, not a one, especially not if you do that again.” She smiled at him as she reached for him. He leaned towards her and this time took over her mouth with his, opening her lips with his tongue. “Bo,” “Yeah” “Bo,” she pushed him back. “Is there a problem” he looked at her. “Yeah, there is, if we start this, I am going to want to finish it, and there is a very active little boy, that is not going to let that happen at 4 in the afternoon!” she laughed as she leaned back in her chair and took a sip of tea. “Okay so how do you like being the ADA?” “I liked it better when you were the police commissioner.” She smiled at him, he squeezed her hand. “Yeah but you get to work with Colson and I know he gets you all hot and bothered.” He got a sly grin on his face. “There is only one man in law enforcement that gets me hot and bothered and his name is not Colson, it is…” she leaned towards him and kisses him “Beaufort” kisses him”Oglethorpe” kisses him “Buchanan” are we clear?” I thought you weren’t gonna start something we couldn’t finish” he pulled her into his lap and started kissing her neck, she was lost in his touch when the silence was broken. “Mommy!” his scream pierced the air. “Matthew,” Bo and Nora started running towards the treehouse and found Matthew crying holding his arm. “Oh baby what happened.” “It hurts, my arm it hurts.” Bo moved closer to Matthew. “Hey champ, tell me what happened okay?” “I fell, I landed on my arm.” “Does anything else hurt or just your arm.” Nora was brushing the hair of his face and wiping the tears out of his eyes, trying not to cry herself, she didn’t want to scare Matthew. Matthew nodded no. “Okay champ I am going to pick you up and take you to the jeep, you can ride in back with mom and we will go have Dr. Larry check you out. Then we will go get some ice cream.” “Hot fudge sundaes, extra cherries” he stopped crying. “Absolutely!” Bo and Nora said in unison.   By the time they got back to Nora’s Matthew was asleep. Bo carried him up to bed. Nora followed them up put him in his pj’s and tucked him in. They both kissed him good night and headed downstairs. “Long day” Nora sighed walking down the stairs. “You aren’t kidding,” he grabbed her from behind and turned her around to face him. “And I have been wanting to do this all day.” He leaned in and kissed her deeply. She melted as his mouth overtook hers. She reached for his hand to lead him back upstairs. He stopped kissing her and just looked at her. “ I think I should go, it’s late.” He started backing towards the door. He didn’t want to lose sight of her, but he couldn’t do this. She was so confused she knew he wanted this, she could feel him when he pulled her to him. “Please don’t walk away from me.” She started to cry, she was so confused. “”Shh baby, don’t cry” he went to her and held her. “I am not walking away from you, I just think I should go home. I don’t want to do something you are not ready for.” “Bo, did I act like I was not ready. I don’t understand. I know you want me as much as I want you, why did you back off like that.” “Nora,” he paused searching for the words, “ I can’t make love to you,” “I see,” she was hurt. “No, you need to let me finish,” he took her hands in his” this is the house that he bought you, that is the bed that you shared with him.”   So that was it she thought, of course. She wouldn’t be able to be with him in the Garrett. This was just great. He looked at her and sensed her understanding, he would never ask her to make love to him in the bed he shared with Lindsay, Melanie, and Gabrielle, funny it didn’t matter with any of them, but with her, it needed to be theirs and theirs alone. How could he not realize how deep that connection was. He smiled. “What?” “What what?” “What are you smiling at?” “You, and everything you mean to me. I love you so much Nora and I want nothing but to show you how much, but that is going to have to wait. And believe me it will be worth it.” “I love you too, you know that don’t you.” “Yeah, I do.” They held each other close not wanting to let go. “Matthew is going to miss you in the morning.” “I think I will come get for breakfast, then I will drop him off at camp. If that’s okay.” “Bo you don’t have to ask, you’re his dad.” “Yeah, but,” “No, buts Mr. Buchanan, I expect you to share 50-50 right down the middle, that includes holding him when he is sick in the middle of the night.” She smiled at him. “Guess that means I am going to have him start staying at my place a few nights a week.” Her smile faded. “Oh well yeah I guess, I just thought, nevermind.” “Gotcha!” He started kissing her neck again. “You know my day is pretty open tomorrow, if you might want to I don’t know, grab some lunch with the father of your son.” “Yeah I think I could do that, well I have to make sure I don’t have any appts.” He is nibbling on her ear. “I mean Colson might want to see me” He stopped what he was doing and looked at her. She laughed “Gotcha.” She drew his mouth to hers for a kiss. And then she walked him to the door. “Sweet Dreams, Red.” She closed the door, leaned against it and sighed, “Until tomorrow.”   Bo headed for the garrett, realizing this would be the first time he had been there since he had kicked Gabby out. He hoped she took him seriously and had moved out. He unlocked the door and opened it. “What the hell?” There was stuff everywhere, she had trashed the place. She had even taken scissors to the furniture. Including the ‘couch’. Damn her. No, that was okay, this was a perfect excuse to get a new place, new furniture, and a new couch. He went to his room grabbed some clothes and headed to the palace.   He turned on the radio to Fallin Back In Love Again (- Kurtis Blow)   Fallin',fallin',back in love I'm back in love again I say I'm back,back in love again I say I'm back,right back in love again   Suddenly it's happening again I'm walking along the seashore Building castles in the sand And suddenly all my dreams have come true And if at all love is the question Then girl the answer's you I feel I'm fallin'.....   Bo smiled realizing that the song was exactly how he felt.   TBC....
