And
I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
It was quiet at the Duke farm that night, a couple of months after the incident in the woods. Luke was still the only one who knew that Bo and Christine were together, and Bo was so happy when Luke told him that he didn't tell Uncle Jesse about the conversation that night.
Bo and Christine laid on his bed and he played with her hair, "Hey you feeling alright, you've been awfully quiet tonight." Christine just nodded and didn't say a word.
"I know what you'd like," he smiled and pulled her to him and kissed her but she turned away. "Did I do something wrong?" Bo asked.
She shook her head and got off the bed. Bo looked at her worriedly, "Baby you know you can tell me anything."
"Bo there hasn't been a time we've been careful has there?"
He looked at her puzzled, "Well…no. But I didn't think it was a problem."
She sat back down on the bed next to Bo, "Bo…." She took a deep breath. "Bo I think I'm pregnant."
Laughter came from Bo, "That's a funny joke," he said and then realized she wasn't laughing. "It's not a joke is it? But…are you sure?"
"Not completely sure, but it's a high possibility Bo."
"But…But…I can't be a father. I'm nowhere ready to be a father."
"I bought a test before I came here, we can find out now if you want."
Bo nodded, "Yea that's a good idea."
Bo was a nervous wreck while they waited for the time to check for the results. When the time came, Christine went to check while Bo stayed in his room. When she came back her face said it all and Bo just looked down. "What are we gonna do?" Bo asked.
"Bo I want to keep the baby."
Bo shook his head, "I cannot be a father, I wouldn't know what to do. How about adoption?"
"No I said I want to keep the baby Bo."
"But what parents would we make? Don't you think it deserves a home with both parents being there…… a couple that has a stable relationship?"
"Oh and you're saying we don't? You know what Bo, just forget it alright. I'm going home, I'll talk to you later." She said leaving the farm.
It's
always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just do
In the rush of leaving the farm, Christine had left the test in the bathroom, which Luke had found the next morning. He went into Bo's room, knowing he'd be awake. "Bo need to tell me about your date last night?"
"What do you mean Luke?"
"Oh I don't know. Is there something you need to share?" Luke said showing what he found in the bathroom.
"Luke don't worry, we're gonna do the right thing."
"So you're gonna push the wedding up then?"
"No not that. Once she sees that this baby would be better with another family, she'd understand."
Luke couldn't believe it, "You asked her to give the baby up! What's wrong with you? That baby is a Duke and Dukes don't abandon another Duke."
Meanwhile…Christine hadn't slept that night. She didn't like Bo's idea, since the time she knew there was a possibility she was pregnant, she loved that baby. And now that she knew for sure, she loved it even more. She decided that this time she wouldn't give in to what Bo wanted.
