Bo had been away for a few months due to his racing and he and Christine both decided that with the twins it would be best for her to stay home. She had been doing just fine but Luke would stop by every now and then to help her out. It was the twins' first birthday and Bo had called to tell her he was going to try his best to make it in time for the party.
Christine was standing on a chair hanging up decorations when Luke walked in. "Now why are you dong all this work," he said starling Christine and she lost her footing. Luke went over and caught her in time. "Got you," he laughed. "Sorry about that. But seriously, why didn't you call me to ask for help.?"
"Cause Luke, I don't want to become a pest asking you for help all the time. I'm pretty much capable to run this house by myself when Bo's away."
"I know you are, I just like helping you know that," Luke said.
Bo had walked through the door, "Bo you're home!" Christine said going over to him. "The kids have missed you."
"Yeah, I'll see them later. I just wanna sleep now."
"Bo we have a party for the in a few hours," Christine said.
"A party? What for?"
"They're first birthday. Didn't you remember?"
"Oh come on, I just came home. I'll just stay upstairs," Bo said going to the bedroom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is Bo home?" Uncle Jesse asked.
"Oh yea he came earlier, he needs rest so he's in bed."
"But he's not even here to celebrate his twins' first birthday?" Daisy said.
"He just came home from months of racing. He just needs some sleep." Christine said.
"Hey Daisy, come here," Luke said.
"What's wrong?"
"Well it's Bo. When he came home, he wasn't acting himself. I mean when have you seen him ever forget a family member's birthday?"
"He forgot it was their birthday?"
"Yea I couldn't believe it either." Luke said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christine went upstairs, "Bo would you come down to the party for a little bit?"
"I said I just want to rest!"
"Bo it's our kids' first birthday. It would mean a lot."
"And you don't know how hard I have it! Now would you just leave me alone!"
"Fine Bo, if that's what you want then I'll leave you alone," Christine said going back downstairs and Luke went over to her. "Before you say anything Luke, I'm fine alright."
Luke smiled, "I wasn't gonna say anything," he said then he went upstairs.
"Alright Bo, time to cut this out. I'm your cousin and I know when something's up. So out with it, what happened?"
