It had been hours since the doctor came in to give them any news and it was still the same. Christine couldn't take it and she was just pacing the waiting room. Bo on the other hand wasn't talking or showing any emotion at all. Christine knew it wasn't cause he didn't care what was happening. But she did know it was cause Bo was blaming himself for all of this.
"I'm sorry," Christine heard Bo say. She turned around to him, "What?"
"I said I'm sorry. This, and everything else. It has been my fault. But I don't know…I don't know what's been going on with me."
They heard crying coming from down the hall and Christine knew right away it was Claire. The doctor must've told her the news. The doctor came in to Bo and Christine and told them that Claire would be fine in a few days but that she wanted to see her mother. Christine went down the hall and Bo followed but didn't go into the room just yet.
"Claire I'm right here don't worry."
"But mom I was looking forward to the baby."
"I know you were. So was I. I know what it's like trust me."
Claire looked at her confused, "You lost a baby mom?"
Christine nodded, "You were young that's why you don't remember. Janine hired some mean to beat me up…and well their plan succeeded. And I still remember that day too. If your uncle and your father didn't find me…" Christine started crying remember those days of when Bo did really love her. "I'm sorry you don't need me crying over the past."
"No mom it's alright. I miss dad like that too. Mom...dad did love you didn't he?"
"Oh yea he did. There's always one thing that reminds me that he does love me, even if he says he doesn't. I don't know if you remember this but it was when I was pregnant with the twins, so you were about 6 or so. Well we never told it to you guys actually cause you were young. But Janine found me at the park one day and your father had gone back to the car. Well she pulled a gun out.."
Claire looked at her, "Mom! You never told any of us this?"
"No you were too young then and well when you were older we just forgot about it. But your father had a feeling something was wrong. He came back to where I was and saw me cornered by Janine." Christine started crying. "Next thing I knew, there was a gunshot and I was pushed down to the ground, by your father right before that. And then I saw blood on me…."
"Mom! How bad…"
"No I wasn't hurt. You father was." Christine cried more remembering that day. "Your father was there in my arms bleeding and I couldn't do anything."
"Mom…go be with dad." Claire said which surprised Christine.
"What Claire?"
Claire pointed to the door where Bo was crying. Claire smiled at Christine, "Mom I think he heard you."
Christine nodded, "Guess it hit him hard. Look you need rest and we'll be right outside alright?"
Claire nodded, "Just go mom, be with dad," she smiled.
Christine went out into the waiting room with Bo where he just collapsed in tears. She held him and rubbed his back, "I love you too Bo." He didn't have to say it at that point but she knew that's what he wanted to say.
You know what to do…review
