Bo looked at Christine sleeping soundly next to him. He got up, hoping he didn't wake Christine. He was starting to feel the pain again; it was a pain he got every once in awhile as a result of the time when Janine shot him. Every now and then his chest would hurt and he did go see his doctor about it. However, he never told Christine about this. Sure the doctor had given him pills to take whenever he had these pains, but he made sure he hid them from her. Everything was starting to get back on the right track in his life; he didn't want Christine to think less of him if she knew he was having this problem. He walked downstairs to where he kept his pills, took them, and sat on the couch, hoping that the pain would go away.
Meanwhile, Christine woke up when she didn't feel Bo next to her. She went downstairs and saw Bo watching television. "Bo what's wrong?" she said going over to him.
"Nothing sweetie. Just wanted to watch some TV." He said moving over so she could sit next to him.
"Bo what's this?" she asked taking the bottle of pills he left on the table.
He took them from her, "Oh they're nothing." He got up and put them away and sat back next to her. "Honey they're nothing stop worrying," he said.
The two watched television but Christine knew Bo was hiding something. She looked at him and he noticed her watching him, "I told you it's nothing. Don't worry about it."
"Bo how can I not worry. I've almost lost you twice as it is. What's wrong?"
"Just drop it please. I'm fine and you're not gonna lose me."
"Bo what's wrong? What aren't you telling me?"
Bo was about to say something but the pain was coming back and he tried to get up and get the pills. Christine looked at him, "Those pills from before?" Bo could only nod and Christine ran to get them for him. Once Bo was fine and Christine finally calmed down, she looked at him, "What just happened here?"
"I've been taking those for the past couple of months. Not long ago I started to feel pains so I went to the doctor. It's a result of when Janine shot me," Bo said.
Christine looked at him. "But I thought there was no permanent damage done?"
Bo shook his head, "At that time the doctor didn't see any. But then the pains started and when I went to see my new doctor he found out that was it. But please don't worry. The pain comes and goes all I gotta do is take those pills when it comes."
"But Bo, why didn't you tell me?"
"Cause….I've been so much of a bother to you already. Look it takes me forever to get around this place on the crutches as it is…I just…I didn't want you to think I was useless to you or the kids now."
Christine saw tears in Bo's eyes, "Bo I would never think of you as useless." She wiped his tears, "Plus the doctor says your leg will be healed soon and you'll be running around chasing the twins," she smiled.
