Later that week was when Danny came to live with Bo and Christine and things were not going over smoothly. Danny had no problem with Christine, after all she was technically his cousin as well. But when it came to Bo and Danny, that's when things were rough. Danny was nothing but rude and always answering Bo back. And Bo was trying his best to be a father to Danny.
Christine came home from picking up Joey from school only to hear the same fight.
"I HATE YOU!" Danny yelled slamming his door.
"WELL THE FEELING IS MUTUAL!" Bo yelled out, not meaning it but he was so fed up. Bo hadn't known that Christine came in with Joey and that they heard. Joey looked at Bo, never hearing him yell like that before, and he ran to his room scared.
"Christine, I didn't mean to."
Christine shook her head, "Bo I know you didn't don't worry. I'll go talk to him."
"Maybe both of us should," Bo said.
"What happened to cause the fight?"
"He went on about the fact that I wasn't there for him for all these years. And I told him it wasn't my fault and that his mother never told me about him until he was ten, and then he said that I don't know what it is to care for anyone. And he got me really mad when he said my only enjoyment is to sleep around and then leave them in the dirt. And I told him that that was how I was in the past but when I met you I changed and he said that I didn't really love you and that I shouldn't be allowed to be anyone's father. That's when I just blew up at him."
"Bo I'm sure he didn't mean it…."
"No he did Christine. He said maybe it was a good that we didn't have luck with the baby before Joey and then Gabby cause they didn't have to be raised by me. And he said he feels bad for Joey and the new baby cause they're gonna have me as a father." Bo stopped talking, "I shouldn't be bothering you with this, that's the last thing you need."
That night Christine had finished cooking dinner, which Danny said he wasn't joining them and instead eating at a friend's. But then the two of them realized that Joey didn't come down. "That's unlike him Bo, he's just like you when it comes time for dinner, always the first one ready to eat."
"Maybe he's just upset still. Come on let's go check on him." Bo said going upstairs with Christine. When they got to his room they saw Joey had cried himself to sleep. "Hey sweetie dinner's ready…you hungry?" Christine said.
Joey nodded and hugged her. "Joey are you alright?" Bo asked causing Joey to jump hearing Bo's voice.
"Joey what's wrong?" Christine asked.
"I'm afraid I might do something bad and that daddy will hate me too."
Christine looked at Bo, not knowing what to say. Bo picked Joey up, "Listen Joey, I could never hate you. You're my big boy, and you know I love you."
"But what about the other night when I got into trouble at school…."
"I know I punished you, but that doesn't mean I hate you. Joey I could never. Just like I could never stop loving your mother."
"But you and mommy have fight sometimes…."
"You're right Joey, we may disagree on some things but that doesn't mean I love her any less and the same with her never loving me less."
"Danny says mean things about you all the time. And then he told me he was my brother and I asked how and he said that's cause you loved to sleep around. What's that mean daddy?"
Bo looked at Christine and then back to Joey, "Before I met your mother I made a lot of mistakes."
"So Danny was a mistake?" Joey asked.
"No…I never knew about Danny until five years ago though."
"Was I a mistake?" Bo couldn't help but to smile, Joey was so innocent at that age.
"Not at all. You were a little boy and we kept praying and praying for and we had you."
Christine smiled a little, "Guys I think we should continue this later, dinner's going to get cold."
Joey wrapped his arms around Bo and hugged him, "I love you daddy."
"And I love you too."
