"I just can't believe that Luke is actually thinking this," Bo said. "I mean he of all people should know what it's like for a kid to grow up not knowing their real parents. I mean sure he was a little older so he got to know his parents, but still…" He looked at Christine. "You know how old I was when I lost mine? I was around John's age. I never got to know my parents, I know how much that hurts."
Christine took Bo's hand, she knew this subject was always hard for him to talk about. "But you had your aunt and uncle raising you. You had a family."
"I know that and I am so thankful that I did have Uncle Jesse. But between you and me there were times when I wished I actually knew my parents." Bo wiped his eyes, "Sorry."
"What for? Bo you have no reason to be sorry."
He smiled a little, "Yea but you don't want a husband who cries do you?"
She smiled back at him, "I actually think you're quite cute when you get all sensitive. Come on what do you say, wanna get some sleep?"

Needless to say, the Duke family wasn't happy with Luke and Dani's decision. They all returned back to Hazzard and Bo and Christine were once again left to have time alone. Bo wasn't going to begin the racing yet, so while Christine worked during the day, Bo was taking care of John.
Their money was running tight so Christine would take any overtime she could get. Bo was getting worried because she'd come over later and later ever night. One night she didn't get out of her job until after 2 A.M. Bo had made dinner but once he got her message, he just left it for her.
By the time Christine got home it was after 3 A.M. She walked into the house and saw Bo asleep on the couch with John asleep on top of him. Smiling at the two of them she went to kiss them and then went to get something to eat.
"Don't you think you're overworking yourself?" Bo said coming into the kitchen scaring Christine.
"I thought you were sleeping."
"Just got up. John's still asleep though. I know you said you were going to be late, but I didn't know you mean this late."
"I'm sorry Bo. When I was getting ready to leave, things went wrong in the office and we all had to stay."
"You need to cut this work load down you know that."
"Bo we need the money, you know that."
"Yes I do but I still don't want you getting sick over this."
"Bo you're being paranoid, I'm fine."
"You don't look too well though," Bo said. He felt her head, "You're burning up. How long have you been feeling sick?"
She shrugged, "A few days I guess. Bo it's nothing, I'll be fine."
"What do you mean nothing! Come on we're going to take your temperature."
"Bo this is ridiculous, I'm fine." She said after taking her temperature.
"Since when is a fever of over 104 fine?" Bo said with a concerned tone in his voice.
"Bo it's something that's gonna pass, don't worry about it alright?" she said starting to feel a little bit dizzy.
"Christine what is it?"
"Nothing Bo I just need to sit down," she said going to the nearest chair but before getting there, she collapsed just in time for Bo to catch her.
