Disclaimer: Don't own any of the Duke characters. The only characters I do own are Christine, the four kids, Claire, Jesse, and Luke and also Jennifer Marie. I also own Bo's ex who's name is Janine.
Claire is now 5, Jesse is 4, and Luke and Jennifer are both 1 (Jennifer's just a few months younger than Luke).
To say that things were going smoothly in the Duke household would be an understatement. Ever since they got the news that Jennifer was Bo's nothing was the same. Christine tried so hard to keep things as normal as possible, but it just wasn't working out. Bo would constantly be leaving whenever Janine, his ex, would call him for something involving Jennifer. Bo still hadn't told his family that he had a daughter with someone else, nor had Christine met Janine or Jennifer. In a way Bo was still ashamed of what he had done and he just didn't feel right bringing his child from someone else into the house, at least not yet.
Christine was cleaning up the house when she heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door she got a surprise.
"Luke!" She hugged him as he walked into the house. "It's been so long since we saw you."
Luke hadn't been around in over a year and she had no idea he was in Hazzard.
"Yea it seems like ages. Decided I was due for another trip to see my favorite niece and nephew. And to see my new nephew Bo told me about."
"Of course, you haven't met the new addition." She went upstairs and got Luke out of his crib. "Luke, meet your nephew, Luke."
He smiled when he realized they named their new son after him. "Wow I didn't know you guys were going to name him after me."
"Well what better person to name him after then one of the best uncles in the world." She went back upstairs and put Luke down to finish his nap. "So what brings you to Hazzard this time?"
"I've missed my family. Gets lonely being in New York especially when one of my best friends isn't there anymore." He took her hand. "I've missed you."
Christine quickly pulled her hand away. "Sorry Bo isn't here right now. He went out for a little bit. Said he should be back this afternoon."
"If it's alright with you I'll just stay here until he comes back."
Christine went back to cleaning up the house and wondering why Luke was back in Hazzard. He hadn't called them in awhile which she found surprising.
Luke came into the kitchen where she was. "Did I do something wrong?"
She looked at him confused, "No why would you think that?"
"Well because you grabbed your hand away so quickly before. I thought maybe I did."
"No Luke. I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Just that…." she then realized that he was getting closer to her. "Luke um…um…I hear Luke crying," she lied and ran upstairs.
She had to get away, especially when she felt Luke so close to her. She didn't know why but she felt something, especially when he held her hand before. She sat down on her bed just trying to get herself together before going downstairs. She didn't know Bo had come home and when he came to the bedroom and put his hand on her shoulder she jumped.
"Honey, everything alright?"
"Yea Bo. Sorry you just scared me. You see Luke downstairs?"
"Yea I did. That's a nice surprise isn't it? I didn't know he was coming here."
"He saw Luke already. And I guess he'll be here when the kids come home from school. I know Claire's missed him."
Bo pulled her into a passionate kiss. It seemed like so long since he last kissed her like this that she didn't want it to stop. So naturally she continued kissing him the same way.
"So I spent time with Janine and Jennifer today," Bo said in between kisses.
Christine stopped and looked at him. "What?" Bo asked.
"Bo can't we get through being romantic just once without you mentioning either of them?"
"Come on she's my daughter too…"
"Oh and I'm sure that you mention to Janine all the time about our three kids right?"
"Well…no. But this is different."
"How is it different Bo, please just tell me cause I don't see how it is."
He went back to kissing her and she turned away. "Bo you always think that doing this will get you out of anything don't you."
He gave her his famous little pout, "Doesn't it work on you?" She smiled and pulled him closer to her, "You know me too well don't you Bo."
After he laid there holding her. "Ok so you wanna tell me what happened today because I have to say that was the best time since we got married." Bo asked.
Christine didn't answer because she knew she couldn't tell him about the encounter with Luke earlier today. She just hoped that this would get Luke off her mind.
