10 Years Later...

Kristen: 18 years old

Belle: 15 years old

Bo: 14 years old

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Christine was making breakfast. "Morning Luke. Why you looking so upset?"

Luke sat down at the table. "It's starting. I'm getting old. I mean my daughter has moved out and has begun college."

"Hey Luke, I got both kids in high school now, how do you think I feel," Christine laughed.

Bo and Belle came down to the kitchen not long after. "So Bo, excited about starting high school?" Luke asked.

"Yea I guess so. I mean at least I'll have some friends in class with me."

"Mom, we're gonna grab breakfast at school, if that's ok." Belle said.

"Oh sue, if that's what you guys want. See you later." Christine said.

"You know he looks exactly like his father did at that age," Christine said to Luke.

"I know. I think now you'll be going through what Uncle Jesse did when Bo was in high school."

"I just worry about him you know. I mean sure he had you here all the time, but still...he never had his father around. But I've seen him watching the old family videos lately...guess it's his way of knowing his father."

Luke went over to Christine, "Bo would be so proud of him you know."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Belle, stop saying that. Uncle Luke is not our father and mom is not gonna marry him!" Bo said.

"Bo, you don't know anything. I knew our dad for at least three months, Kristen got to know him longer. And Uncle Luke has been with us ever since dad died. He was even there when you were born. Those two belong together. Don't you want mom happy?"

"Mom is happy," Bo said.

"No she's not! Dad's been gone for 15 years...and mom hasn't dated one person since then. And Uncle Luke...he's lost Jennie's mom 18 years ago and he hasn't found anyone to be with either. They're perfect for each other."

"Just stop it Belle. Mom and Uncle Luke won't ever be together."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom, I'm home. Hey where's Uncle Luke?"

"Cooter's. Wait where's your brother?"

"Oh he stayed after trying out for football. Mom can I ask you something?"

"Sure sweetie what is it?"

"Well, I know how Uncle Luke's been living here all these years...so when are the two of you gonna get married?"

"Belle, what gave you an idea like that."

"Mom come on it's obvious. You guys are both lonely and haven't dated since you lost dad and he lost Jennie."

Christine laughed, "Belle I am not going to marry your Uncle Luke."

"I'm just saying..." Belle smiled. "I'm going out I'll be back later."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You're never gonna beleve what Belle asked today," Christine said to Luke when he came home.

"What?"

"She wanted to know when me and you are getting married."

"Us get married?" Luke said laughing.

"I know funny isn't it."

"Yea I mean we don't even like each other like that."

"No definitely not," Christine said.

Luke looked at Christine and she looked back at him and before they knew it, they were kissing. And a that moment, Belle and Bo walked through the door.
