Christine was on her way home from work when her phone rang again. It was Bo and he had been calling her non-stop the past couple of days. Of course she hadn't been answering them, but she knew she had to this time or else he wouldn't stop calling. "Meet me at out spot by the pond," Bo said. Christine had asked why but Bo already hung up.
Christine called Luke up to tell him she'd be home a little later than she planned because she had something to take care of and she went to the pond to talk to Bo.
"I didn't know what I was doing was the cause of you losing the baby. I am so sorry about that," Bo said.
"Bo it was months ago, me and Luke are fine now."
"I just want things back to what they were like," Bo said.
"Bo, I love Luke and I'm happy now. I'd never want to change that."
"I mean us being friends again."
"Bo look I really got to get going home and I don't know if that'll be a good idea just yet."
"Don't need to answer me now, I can wait," Bo said.
Christine couldn't wait to get home now, she wanted nothing more than to be there in Luke's arms. When she got home, Abby was in her room playing and Joey was in his room doing homework. Christine went into her room change and Luke was there waiting. "Hey baby," she said going over to kiss him but he turned away. "What's wrong?"
"When were you going to tell me you've been on the pill?" He said with hurt in his eyes.
"Luke….it's not easy to explain."
"What's not easy to explain? The fact that apparently no one was a kid with me, cause that's quite obvious now."
"That's not true Luke.'"
"How long have you been taking them?"
Christine looked down, "Since we started trying again."
"I can't believe this. Here I am thinking that there is something wrong with me meanwhile it's you that's stopping it from happening."
"Luke that's not it," Christine began.
"I see that you never took them when you were with Bo."
"I loved Bo," Christine said Luke looked at her. "Luke that's not what I mean."
"Then what did you mean?" Luke had tears in his eyes saying that.
Christine took his hands in her's, "Luke yes I loved Bo and a part of me still does and probably always will. But it's you I love more than anything in this world."
"That makes absolute sense as to why you don't want kids with me then.." Luke said.
"Luke it's not that I don't want kids with you. I would love to finally have a baby with you. I'm just scared."
"Of what? You think I'll end up leaving you too? Cause I would never."
"No it's not that Luke. It's the fact that…I've already lost three babies, I don't want us to go through that again."
Luke held her, "You should've told me you were scared. But listen, I won't let anything happen to you or our baby. I failed to protect you once, but never again."
