Christine and Bo waited a few years before getting married. And over the years everything seemed to be getting back on track. Luke had found someone else and gotten married. Daisy and Enos were finally married, which was something everyone was waiting to happen. Everyone was starting to have their own families, everyone but Bo and Christine.
Robert was now 15 years old and Bo and Christine had been trying so hard for a baby of their own but weren't having any luck. Sure he thought of Robert as his own, but he still really wanted one that was really his own. Christine had come home from work, "Hey Bo I'm home."
"Christine we need to talk," Bo said bringing her to the couch.
"What's wrong Bo?"
"I think we should give up on trying for a baby of our own…"
"Uh Bo…"
"I mean look Robert's 15 already and well we ain't getting younger…."
"Bo we're having a baby."
"And I mean if it hasn't by now it's never…." Bo looked at her and she smiled. "Did you just say we're having a baby?"
Christine nodded, "Just found out from the doctor."
He hugged her, "I don't believe it. Wait…is the baby alright I mean we didn't know until now and we weren't thinking you were pregnant."
"Bo the babies are fine."
"Babies?" Bo asked confused.
"Yes the doctor said it's gonna be twins."
And over the next few months Bo couldn't be any happier. Now up until now Robert never asked questions of his real father. That was until he realized he was looking more like his Uncle Luke and not his father. One day he came home from school all mad. He had run into Luke on his way home from school. Luke hadn't seen him in a long time and couldn't believe just how much he looked like him. So Luke and Robert had a talk in which the truth came out. And for the next week, Robert was madder at Bo than he was at Christine.
One afternoon, Bo and Christine were just watching a movie. Bo was busy talking to the babies as she lay across his lap. "Bo you're making them kick more with your talking," she laughed.
"I can't wait, just one more month and we'll have our little twins," he said kissing her.
"Bo you alright?"
Just then Robert came home slamming the door, "Hey something happen at school?" Bo asked.
"Don't talk to me Bo Duke," Robert said.
"Robert how dare you say that to me!"
"What it's true. You ain't my father. In fact my father told me the whole true. You're the reason why he and my mother broke up. I can't believe you did that to your own cousin. Just stay out of my life!" Robert said going to his room and slamming the door.
"Bo let me talk to him," Christine said getting up.
"You sure you don't want me to do it?"
"No I think it's something I need to talk to him about," Christine said going over to Robert's room.
"Robert we need to talk alright. Look yes Luke is your father but he gave up those rights a long time ago."
"But he told me it was cause of Bo."
"That is the reason we split up. But then I came back after I had you and I gave him the choice to be a father to you. He said only if we got married, and I told him no. You see he hurt me the day he broke up with me and I couldn't go through that again. He said either we got married or he wanted no part in it at all."
"So then you just decided no. Didn't you care about me?"
"Yes of course Robert, that's why I said no to him. Robert he didn't want to be a father, I knew he was just saying that to cause it would be the right thing. But I didn't wanna end up having him leave us and end up hurting you as well."
"You still could've married him! Then we would've been a family. Instead no you didn't want to be with him but you run right into his cousin's arms!"
"Robert that is not what happened!" Christine started to feel pains and sat down on Robert's bed.
"Mom you alright?"
She shook her head, "Get Bo and hurry."
Robert went over to Christine, "Dad! Dad!"
Bo jumped up, it had been the first time in a few weeks that Robert called him dad and he knew something must've been wrong. He ran upstairs and saw Christine in pain. "Robert run and start the car, I'll get her downstairs."
Robert nodded panicking that this was his fault. Bo helped Christine down the stairs and into the car and sped off to the hospital.
