A/N: Sorry it's taken awhile, been busy here. I decided to post the story a different way. It was getting too difficult to post each chapter as a new document since it was a long story. So I'm going to post the newest chapters as one document, that way it's easier to keep track of as well as read. Again remember, each review I get, I will add a new chapter. Tonight, there's 7 new ones. Enjoy….

Chapter 79: You Raise Me Up
"Bo you can't blame yourself for this now. He's 18 he knows what choices to make," Christine said trying to reassure Bo.
"Still….I was hardly there for him when he was growing up."
Christine didn't know what to say to Bo, he was telling the truth but she couldn't say that to him.
"Daddy can we go down to the pool?" Gabby came over to Bo.
"Yea sure sweetie, why don't you go downstairs, I'll be right there." He looked at Christine, "You coming?"
"I figured just staying in the room. Maybe Luke will call."
Bo nodded. "Look at Gabby, she's gonna be thirteen soon. I'm gonna make sure she doesn't start acting up like Luke."
"Bo she's different than Luke, always had been. Bo face it, your son is exactly like you," she smiled a little.
"Yea I know, that's what worries me," Bo said. "We'll be back soon," he said and then leaving to go to the pool with Gabby.

Chapter 80: Naked
Christine was just relaxing in the hotel room when she heard a knock. "Mom? Dad? You in there?"
Hearing Luke's voice, Christine went and opened the door. "Luke sweetie, what's the matter?"
"Sorry if I'm bothering you guys. Dad told me this is where you guys were staying and decided to visit."
"Luke you could never be a bother to us you know that," Christine said.
"Thanks mom. I have missed you guys."
"We miss you too. Your dad would like it if you called him more you know."
"Why bother mom, he doesn't care about me let alone wanna talk to me."
"Luke you know that isn't true."
"Yea it is mom. But mom that isn't why I cam here."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 81: I'll Be There For You
"Luke, is something going on that we should know about? Would you like it better if your father was here?"
Luke got up, "No! No, it's better that he isn't here. Um…oh wow this is hard to tell you," Luke said.
"Luke you can tell me anything you know that."
Luke nodded, "Yea but I've disappointed you so much already. This is just gonna add to it."
"Once you get it out, you'll feel better trust me."
"I know….Mom, my girlfriend, LeeAnn. Well she told me today that she's pregnant. Mom please don't be mad and hate me…."
"Luke you're my son and I could never hate you. And yes of course I'm not overjoyed about this happening, after all you are only 18, but don't worry I'll be here to help you out. Me and your father will help you out."
"No mom you can't tell dad, he'll just hate me more."
"Luke he won't don't worry. After all he's been through the same thing."
Luke looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"
"We weren't married when I was pregnant with you. You don't remember it cause you were young but you were at the wedding, but only a month old. Now what do you two plan on doing?"
"Well I told LeeAnn I was behind her no matter what and she said she wants to keep the baby and I told her I couldn't be any happier than I am right now."
"Well there you go right there, you're already stepping up more than your father ever did. I hardly saw him when I was pregnant with you. Though I think it was just cause he was scared. Your father should be back with Gabby soon, you wanna wait for him?"
"No I'm gonna go actually. Told LeeAnn I'd go see her after I talked to you. But I'll talk to you soon. Bye mom," he said hugging her goodbye.

Chapter 82: Jaded
Bo and Gabby came up from the pool and when going back to the room, Bo thought he had seen Luke leaving the hotel but he didn't think it was possible.
"Hey Christine, was Luke here by any chance?" Bo said when he got back to the room.
"Um… yea just stopped by for a little while why?"
"Oh I thought I saw him leaving. Why'd he come over?"
"Just wanted to talk you know," Christine said hoping Bo would want to change the subject.
"You know that I do know whenever it is that you're hiding something," he said going up behind her and putting his arms around her. What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong Bo, don't worry."
"Why was Luke here and I want the truth."
"Bo I can't tell alright."
"I'm your husband and that's our son. I have the right to know!"
"Yea well he doesn't want you to know."
"What is it? Not like he did something stupid and got his girlfriend pregnant…" Bo began and then he saw Christine's face. "That is what this is about isn't it?"
"He knew you would react like this, that's why he didn't want you to know."
"But how come he didn't want to tell me to my face?"
"Cause he said you hate him already and this would just make you hate him more."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 83: At The Beginning
Bo and Christine stayed in New York for a couple of more days before going back to Hazzard. Gabby loved it there so Christine promised they'd visit there more often, especially to do shopping there.
Bo sat on the plane with Christine's words replaying over and over again in his head. My son thinks I hate him. I don't hate him. I never could, was all he thought to himself. He looked over at where Christine was sitting with Gabby. Sure he had a close relationship with Gabby, but now she was getting to the age where she wanted to talk to her mother about things.
He missed out on all those things with Luke and now look what happened. Settling down way too young. Bo said to himself. But in fact he couldn't deny what the truth was, that his son was becoming just like him.
---------------------------------------------------
Chapter 84: Dance Me To The End Of Love
Things started to get back to normal in Hazzard, well as normal as things could get for the Dukes. Gabby was off at school and Christine had the day off from work. She was just finishing getting lunch ready when Bo stuck up behind her and put his arms around her.
"Bo if you want me to finish lunch, I can't do it with you hanging on me," she smiled.
"Who needs lunch then?" He said kissing her neck.
"You feeling alright?" She asked looking at him. "You're turning down food?"
"Well maybe I just decided on something that tasted much better," Bo grinned.
"Oh really, like what?" she teased him.
"I think you know," he said backing her up against the wall and kissing her.
"Bo…." She said softly.
"Shh…" Bo smiled and continued to kiss her.
Before she knew it, Bo had carried her to the bedroom. The two of them hadn't been like this in what seemed to her, like forever. They had been through so much, that they were hardly ever alone. She laid in Bo's arms after and rested her head on his chest. And just when the two of them were asleep, the phone rang.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 85: Another One Bites The Dust
"Hello?" Christine asked sleepily.
"Mom? It's Luke."
"Oh Luke, sweetie what is it?"
"Well I just thought I should call you and tell you the great news. Me and LeeAnn are getting married!"
Christine was now awake, "You're getting married," she said which now had Bo wide awake.
"Who's getting married?" Bo asked.
"Our son is," she said quietly to Bo. "Well congratulations son," Bo yelled over so Luek could hear him.
"Mom that's not all. I'll be moving out of Hazzard for good and living here in New York with LeeAnn."
"You're what? Are you want to?"
"Yes I am mom. Look I gotta run I'll call you later."
Christine looked at Bo after getting off the phone. "Our son's getting married and moving to New York for good."
Bo knew that if he didn't work things out with Luke soon, then he may just loose his son for good.
Bo's chances of working his problems out with Luke are slowly running out of time. Will Bo be able to repair his relationship with his son before it's too late? If you want to know, you know what to do..Review! Thanks.
