Hi all, you probably thought I forgot about this, right? I didn't, but I'm having major writers block on this I'm working through it though.

I know its mega short and it seems more like a filler chapter to me. But this had to be done the story will get more climatic in the next couple of chapters, I promise.

Please be patient, I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can, I've got a lot planned out, but I've just got to write it out now.

Chapter 6:

"I'm not sure what to say, you're gone for four months and then you suddenly show up?" Daisy asked, the group of four had moved to the kitchen in the farm house.

"I realized that I was being a bit of an idiot about the baby Daisy, I apologize for any pain I caused you because of my actions." Bo said, Jenna was tugging on the blonde's shirt sleeve.

"Uncle Bo, Uncle Bo, guess what?" Jenna asked.

Bo knelt next to the little girl, "You know what?" he asked, "I need to talk to your Mommy and Daddy for a moment, why don't you go and look in the living room for presents from Santa and I." Bo said, "I'll be in there in a moment, okay?"

"Santa doesn't need to give me anything else, he brought you back." Jenna said, but then she grinned, "I'll take the presents from you though." And off she ran to the living room

"There is a very big explanation that I owe the both of you, and a very big apology, I shouldn't have treated you with such rudeness and disrespect, I am ashamed of my actions, it's why I took so long to come back, I-I didn't think you'd forgive me." Bo said, he was nervously putting his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

"What about the explanation?" Enos asked, Daisy noticed he had stepped around her and part of Enos body was shielding her, as if to protect her.

"Umm, I'd like to be able to tell you later, when Jenna's not likely to hear, I promise that it's a very good explanation, but I need to tell you later, so Jenna doesn't overhear."

Daisy and Enos shared a look before Enos nodded "Allright, maybe after Jenna's opened all her presents we can send her outside with the Halloway kids…"

"I'll take her out," Luke offered from the kitchen table. When Daisy and Enos looked at him, Luke continued to speak "I know what Bo is going to tell you, he told Uncle Jesse and I last night, I'll take Jenna out on the unwrapable present you're giving her."

"Unwrappable present?" Enos asked.

"Yeah, it's really big." Bo said a grin crossed his features now; he looked more like the old Bo now. "It's so big it's not worth it to wrap…." Bo trailed off as Jenna raced into the kitchen again

"Mommy, guess what?" She asked, "Uncle Bo gave me a car!"

"Excuse me?" Daisy asked, shocked.

"It's a go-kart." Bo quickly explained, he bent down now and looked at Jenna "Now, Jenna I want you to promise me something." He said, "Promise me you won't go out on your go-kart without an adult nearby."

Jenna nodded, "Okay" she said, and then she raced back outside.

Luke followed the six year old out, mouthing to Bo "Explain!"

Bo sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Well, I guess now that Jenna's out for a little bit I can explain to you why I was acting the way I was."

"That sounds like a good idea." Enos said, he guided Daisy to a chair and she sat, Enos standing behind her.

"Well, I-I when I left, I went to Capital City, when I got there, I got a job at a mechanic's and well, less than a week later, I got into an accident, I had to go to the doctors to make sure that everything was okay. When I was there, the doctor I saw diagnosed me with…" Bo halted; this was obviously hard for him to say.

"Take your time Bo, we aren't going to force you to do anything." Uncle Jesse said.

"He diagnosed me with depression, I-I started taking medication and I'm better now, not perfect though, just better."

"Oh Bo," Daisy said.

"That's why I was angry Daisy, because of the depression, there was a chemical imbalance, and…" Bo's voice was suddenly pitched higher than normal and he was speaking faster. "I wasn't angry with you, the pregnancy news just caught me on a bad day and…"

"Bo, it's okay, I forgive you." Daisy said, she got up and gave Bo a hug, the blonde in question grabbed Daisy, holding her close, as if letting go of her might make Daisy take back her last statement.

When the cousin's pulled apart, Bo looked to Enos "I know it'll take a little more for you to forgive me…" he started.

"But you're sorry, it's a start." Enos said, he hugged the blonde too.

Jenna raced into the kitchen, "Guess what Mommy?" she asked.

"What?"

"It's snowing!"

The entire Duke-Strait family went to the window, sure enough it was snowing outside, it just wasn't sticking very well.

'"Well, it looks like we have lots of good things this Christmas huh?" Daisy asked.

"Wanna know what would be really good?" Jenna asked, grinning.

"What?"

"Opening presents."

"That sounds like a good idea Jenna, let's go open those presents."

"Yay!" Jenna cried, running into the living room.

Soon, the entire family was around the Christmas tree, picking up presents that Santa had bought them.

"Mommy!" Jenna cried, "Look what Uncle Bo got me!" she held up a picture frame with a picture of the two of them.

"I love it Uncle Bo!" she cried, hugging him.

"I'm glad you do Jenna." Bo said happily.

"Have you thought of names?" Luke asked as Daisy sat down on the couch.

"We're not sure what we'll name him if it's a boy I like Katelyn if it's a girl, we can call her Katie." Daisy said.

"Katelyn is a nice name" Uncle Jesse said, he seemed to be moving slower than usual but he smiled when Daisy and Luke shot concerned looks towards the old man.

"Baby Jesse's middle name is funny." Jenna said, she seemed to think the baby was a boy and so she called him Baby Jesse all the time.

"It is different." Daisy corrected, "but I don't think it's funny."

'What's the middle name?" Bo asked, looking up from his stocking.

"Xavier." Daisy said, she took the present Enos gave her and opened it, "Oh Bo." She whispered as she saw what he'd given her.

"What is it Mommy?" Jenna got up and ran over to her mother.

"Who's that?" Jenna asked, pointing to the picture, it was a double frame, with two slots for pictures.

"That's my Mommy." Daisy said, "That's my daddy, and that's me." She smiled, trying not to cry, "this picture was taken a week before my parents died."

"But what's this?" Jenna asked, pointing to the empty slot in the picture frame.

"That's for a picture of your family." Bo said. "I-I was hoping we could take it today."

"We can take it after Dinner." Daisy promised, she hugged Bo before going to the next present.

Suddenly, Daisy stopped; she suddenly grabbed Enos' hand and placed it on her protruding stomach.

"What?" Enos asked, his eyebrows lowering in concern.

'The baby." She whispered, her eyes twinkling.

Bo halted; he stared at Daisy's stomach as if seeing that she was visibly pregnant for the first time.

"Do-Do you know what gender the baby is?" he asked.

"Enos and I decided to wait until he or she is born to find out." Daisy said. She turned to her cousin, do you want to feel?" she asked, "He or she is very active; you might be able to feel." She said.

"Okay." Bo's voice had suddenly gotten quiet, he put his half-unwrapped present down and went over to the couch, he sat next to Daisy and put his hand over the protruding baby.

"Hey little one," he whispered. "I'm your Uncle Bo."
