"Luke…just how bad is it?" Bo asked his cousin.
Luke went out to the hall with Bo, "It's really bad Bo."
"Luke no, you don't mean?"
Luke let the tears fall and nodded. Bo went to get Christine and told her to come out into the hall. "What happened?" she said seeing Luke crying.
"They tried and tried but they couldn't get her back," Luke said.
"Oh Luke I'm so sorry," Christine said hugging him.
"Hey Luke you're in no shape to tell the family, I'll tell them." Bo suggested and Luke nodded.
The rest of the family came out to the hall once Bo told them the news and all tried to comfort Luke. Christine looked and saw that Bo wasn't in sight. Then she spotted him at the nursery window and went over to him. He pulled her to him and held her, "Well that's our niece over there," Bo said pointing to the newest Duke.
"Bo," she said knowing that he was crying because he wouldn't look at her. He turned to her and just cried along with her. "I can't even imagine what Luke's going through right now," she said.
Luke walked over to the two of them, "Guys I don't know what to do. I don't know how to raise a baby."
"Luke don't worry about that at all. We will be here to help you whenever you need us." Bo said.
Later that week, Luke had the funeral for Jessica as well as brought his new daughter home, named Jessie, after her mother. When everyone was gathered at the Duke house after the funeral, Bo snuck off and sat in the barn.
"Hey cousin, need some company?" Luke asked sitting next to him.
"Luke, shouldn't you be inside with the family?"
"And hear the same stuff over and over again. I needed to just get out for a bit."
"It's not right Luke. I mean first Christine and I lose our first baby that time and now you lose your wife."
"I know it's not fair Bo. And I still don't know how I'm going to do this. I was so confused when Jessie cried in the middle of the night." Luke broke down again. "I just miss her so much."
"I know you do Luke, we all miss her."
Meanwhile inside the house, Christine was taking care of Jessie since Luke had gone outside to talk to Bo. "Christine, is everything alright?" Daisy asked.
"What, oh yea Daisy everything's fine. Just thinking that's all."
"Isn't Chris's second birthday this week?" Daisy asked.
Christine nodded, "But I don't know I don't think anyone is up to celebrating it."
"You don't look well, are you sure you're feeling alright?"
"Yea Daisy I'm fine," Christine said rubbing her stomach and Daisy knew right away.
"Bo doesn't know does he?"
"No Daisy he doesn't. I mean we were thinking of another baby but that was before this all happened. I found out yesterday but I don't know how I can tell him now. I think he may have changed his mind on us having another baby now."
Questions:
1) When Christine does finally tell Bo, what should his reaction be?"
