Chapter 8:

It only took a year after that trip to the kitchen floor that Bo and Gabby knew that there was no else in the world that could make them as happy as what they where with each other. Bo knew that being with Gabby meant that he would be compared to Mike in almost everything he done. He knew she didn't mean it but when the only man she was ever with treated her worst then the dirt under his feet, well what else could you expect.

Bo did everything he could to show Gabby who a real man treats the woman they love. For her it was an endless surprise of events. The biggest shocker of it all was during Christmas when Jessy-Bell was 6. It was Christmas Eve and they had just put Jessy-Bell to bed. They went back down stairs to open their own Christmas gifts leaving only Jessy-Bell tomorrow. They waited to keep each others for last. Finally when they where down to it Bo open Gabby's first. The gift was a large square box. When Bo open it he found the complete collection of all Waylon Jennings albums on vinyl. Bo's mouth dropped open.

"Gabby! Where did you get this? Isn't it like a collectors edition?"

"Yea it is. I know how much you love Waylon's Music and I know you have a record player so I though you might like it."

"Gabby... I love it! You didn't have to... but I love it!"

"That's great. I was a little worried." She waited for a minute. Bo was looking though the records. Gabby coughed. Bo looked up and smiled.

"Oh yea!" he said with a grin. He reached in being the Christmas tree and pulled out a necklace box.

"Okay. So for the pass month or more I've been trying to figure out what I could give you for Christmas to show you just how much you mean to me Gabby. And after watching you and listening to everything you've been saying. I could only think of one thing that I could give you that would truelly tell you just how much I love you."

Gabby smiled as she took the box from Bo. Before she even opened it he reached over and gave him a kiss.

"Bo... You didn't have to give me anything. Having you and Jessy-Bell in my life is all I could ever ask for. At that she sat back down and opened her Christmas gift. When she looked in side she found just a piece of paper with "DUKE" on it. Gabby starred at it confused

"You want to give me a piece of paper with Duke on it?" asked Gabby. Bo laughed.

"No Gabby. What is Duke?" asked Bo

"Well... It's a rich guy in England..." She stopped and Bo could tell it was clueing in. "And it's also you're last na...me..."

Gabby starred at Bo and her mouth fell open as the box fell out of her had.

"Bo... are you...."

Bo took Gabby's left hand and sure enough there was a little gold ring in his hand.

"Gabby," she stared to cry. "I have never loved a woman as much as I love you. For Christmas this year I want to give you not only my last name, but my heart and soul, all of it. Gabriella Anna Soto. Will you Marry Me?"
