Christine looked at Luke, "I'm really gonna need time to think this all over. I mean I still love Bo and I'm always gonna love Bo. But this time I'm leaving it up to him what he wants to become of our marriage."
Luke nodded, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry I'll always be here for you."
That night, after all the kids were asleep, Christine heard a knock on the door. Half asleep herself, she went to see who it was and to her surprise it was Bo. "Bo it's late. What are you doing here?"
"I haven't been able to sleep since all of this has happened," Bo said.
Christine told Bo to come in so the two of them could talk. "Bo I'm leaving this up to you. If you wanna stay married then fine and if you don't then that's fine too."
"I don't know what I want," Bo said looking down. "I want to be with you but….I know I'm gonna end up hurting you over and over again. So maybe we should…," he took a deep breath, "maybe we should end the marriage."
Christine nodded, "If that's what you want Bo then we'll go through with the divorce," she said trying to sound strong but inside she felt like she was gonna just fall apart.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Claire and Jesse were listening to the conversation. "This can't be happening," Jesse said.
"Please Jesse, we knew it was gonna happen. Besides isn't it better it does, I mean look what happens."
"No I know that, and I know what dad's done. It's mom I'm worried about, she loves dad too much to actually want it to end."
"But she's also hurt my dad almost all the time when he's here."
"Claire think about it, they break up, how much hurt is mom gonna be then?"
Claire realized what Jesse said, "But…Jesse what can we do? Dad wants to end the marriage."
Luke came over to them, "Hey is that dad I hear downstairs?" Claire and Jesse just nodded. Luke's face lit up, "So that means they're getting back together right."
Jesse shook his head, "No Luke it doesn't. Dad told mom he wants the divorce."
