Contrary to the title this is not the end of the story.

The Rest of The Story

While Martha and Jonathan were in town Luke had walked down to the creek with Bo so they could talk privately. For a while they just sat by the creek, holding each other and enjoying the time alone. Luke was the first to break the silence, "Bo, are ya feeling better?"

"Don't worry Luke I ain't gonna fall apart again. It was, just the shock,
ya know, just brought up a lot of bad memories."

"I'm so sorry Bo, I know if I hadn't hurt you those memories probably wouldn't have hit you so hard."

Bo couldn't say anything at first, could only look at Luke in shock, "NO! Luke please love don't, you never hurt me. I thought we'd settled this, it wasn't you it was Roy Logan, he's the only one to blame, never you."

"Maybe but if I had been stronger he wouldn't have gotten the chance to hurt you." Luke jumped to his feet and walked off unable to look Bo in the eyes, the shame of his weakness being too strong.

Bo wasn't about to let him get away that easily, "Luke, look at me"
When he got no response Bo reached out and forced Luke to face him, lifting Luke's head he was surprised by the shame he saw. "Dang it Luke there wasn't anything you could do to stop him. Would you blame me if I had been the one he possessed? No you wouldn't so why can't you see that you ain't no more to blame than me?"

"I don't know how I ever got so lucky but I sure am glad that you chose to give your love to me darlin." Luke said as he pulled Bo to him for a soft kiss, a kiss which soon turned passionate. "Much as I'd love to continue this we really should get back to the house."

"Yeah I know we got chores, 'sides it'd be way too easy to get caught out here." Bo said the disappointment easy to hear in his voice.

"Yes it would, don't worry Bo I promise I'll make it up to you later."

"Well what are we waiting for, the sooner we get back the quicker later will get here." Bo said, a grin lighting his face as he took Luke's hand and started towards the house.

As the day went on Bo noticed the way Clark kept looking at him. It wasn't until his folks had got back that he realized why Clark was acting strange. Angrier than he'd been in a long time Bo confronted his parents,
"You told him didn't you?"

"Bo honey what do you mean? Told who?" Martha asked confused at Bo's sudden anger.

Seeing his mother's obvious confusion Bo knew she wasn't guilty of anything. It had been his dad, and if he'd had any doubts about that the guilt in Jonathan's eyes would have taken care of that. "How dare you, did you ever think maybe I didn't want Clark to know. Damn it Dad,
it's bad enough that you and Mom know about...God I never wanted my brother to know."

"Bo son I'm sorry, but Clark knew something was going on. I just thought he should know the truth. I didn't mean to upset you..."

"Upset me? Well what did you think I'd feel like? If I could have my way nobody would know except Luke. I haven't even gotten the chance to get to know any of you that well and now everytime you... Now when you, any of you look at me all you'll see is a victim. I couldn't stop him no matter how much I wanted to, just like before..." Bo broke off as he suddenly realized what he had let slip.

Jonathan grabbed his arm before he had the chance to run off. "Bo son,
what do you mean by that?" Bo only shook his head unable to find the words. "Bo I don't know if I really want to hear it but I get the feeling I should. Maybe it will help if I tell you I don't see a victim when I look at you. I see only a survivor and an amazing young man that I'm proud to call son."

"Damn it I'm doing it again ain't I Luke? Letting Jeff win, living my life in fear again just like he taught me to. I...this ain't easy but, well two years ago wasn't the first time I met Jeff Miller. He lived here when he was 19 and I was 15...it was a few months after I met him that he, raped me for the first time." Bo looked down afraid of what he'd see in their eyes. Luke walked over and took Bo in his arms, sure that Bo's folks wouldn't reject him but knowing it was what Bo feared most. Just as Luke was beginning to think he had given the Kents too much credit Martha stepped forward.

"Oh honey I knew you were strong but I had no idea just how much strength you really have. ...You said the first time, was the next time two years ago?"

Bo shook his head, "No it wasn't, I wish it had been and I don't want to tell you but, he threatened to kill anyone I told. He even took a shot at Uncle Jesse to convince me he was serious, cause of that I...I didn't want to but I had no choice. He, he raped me every day for the next six months, until him and his mom moved to Atlanta."

"Oh my God, honey...you know your dad is right. You are an amazing young man and I am so proud to say you're my son." Martha wrapped her arms around Bo, a moment later Luke stepped away as he allowed Jonathan to take his place.

Stepping over next to Clark, Luke watched as Bo was comforted by his folks. "So Clark what do you think? Does Bo deserve what he got?"

"How did you know?"

"Hey I was a teenager once too you know, besides it's pretty obvious that's what you were thinking. So do you still think that?"

"No I don't blame him anymore, how could anybody after hearing that.
I don't know how he did it but I'm proud to call him brother and I think it's time to tell him that." A moment later Clark joined the rest of his family and did just that as Luke looked on thankful that Bo had the support of his whole family.

As they all pulled back Martha asked a question she was afraid to hear the answer to. "Bo did my brother know about this when he hired Jeff to kidnap you?"

"No Mom, I know what he did was wrong but Jeff was the one who chose to kidnap me. Boss didn't have any idea that Jeff had done or would do what he did. I don't think he would've hired him if he'd had any idea about what might happen." Bo quickly reassured her.

"Thank goodness, I know you want me to give him a second chance and I will. But if he had known about what happened to you at 15 and still hired the same man, well that I could never forgive. Not even for you honey."

"Speaking of Boss, what did he have to say? Luke asked as he joined the group, slipping an arm around Bo's waist.

"Well he tried to make excuses of course, tried to blame Jesse and you kids for his actions. Martha set him straight pretty quickly though,
we left him to think about what he wants more. His feud with the Dukes or his sister in his life, now we'll just have to wait and see what he does." Jonathan replied.

"It's later my love, so are you a man who keeps his promises or not"
Bo asked as he lay in Luke's arms later that night.

Please review, y'all know how much I like reviews and if you didn't then I'll tell ya. I really like getting reviews. Thanks

A/N: Okay on the deleted scene, same as the last time. If you would like the chapter with the graphic scene included, e-mail me at vinsmouseyahoodotcom tell me you are at least 18 years of age and would like chapter 8 of Reunion with the graphic scene included and I'll send it to you.

Roy Logan is a ghost who possessed Luke during the previous Halloween and used Luke to hurt Bo. The details of that encounter can be found at The Wonderful World of Makebelieve in my story Ghostly Encounter, which is slash and very graphic. Jeff Miller is first mentioned in my story Secrets which is the first story in the Secrets universe, which Reunion is a part of. Hope that clears up any confusion.
