It was the middle of the night when Christine heard a knock on her door, which of course woke Robert up. So after she went to get him she went to open the door, "Bo what are you doing here?"
"Marry me," was all he said.
"Excuse me, did you just say marry you?"
"Yes I said marry me."
"Uh…come in Bo," she said letting him in. "Bo I don't know what you're talking about."
"I want us to get married. I mean if you want, but I want to be a family with you and Robert."
"Bo that could never happen, it would hurt Luke."
"Have you seen how Luke's been acting lately, he doesn't wanna be tied down with a child."
"What are you talking about? And Bo I somehow doubt you'd want to be tied down with a baby too, especially one that isn't yours."
"That's where you're wrong Christine. I have loved Robert since I first saw him."
"Well of course, he's your nephew."
"No I mean like my own. Look he's already calling me daddy. And…Luke has made up his mind already hasn't he?"
Bo was right and Christine knew it. She had given Luke the opportunity to be a father to Robert but he never said he wanted to. But now she figured out why, Bo was right. Luke didn't want to be tied down with a baby. In fact when they were engaged, they had no date set. To Luke he wanted to be engaged for a couple of years before they actually got married. He wasn't serious about it at all.
"Christine you alright?" Bo asked.
"Oh yea sorry Bo. Bo look…umm…us getting married, I don't know."
"It's not cause you're waiting for Luke is it?" Bo asked.
"What? Oh no no not that. I just…I don't know Bo, I mean us being married. You even think it's possible?"
"Hey why not, we've been best friends all our lives, so we know we can stand each other," Bo laughed and Christine laughed back.
"Well Bo why don't we just take it slow first and see what happens."
