Chapter 10:

Gabby woke the next morning to the sun shining in the window. She starred there for a bit watching the birds fly pass and the bits that was illuminated by the light just float by. She didn't move. This was a habit that always stuck with her. When she was a child and never left her bed in fear of waking her father while walking though the house. With Mike she never moved in bed with fear that she would wake him and with Bo... With Bo she just wanted him to sleep. The first five years that she had known him Bo never did get much sleep. He would always come home from work and take care of Jessy-Bell. He did this ever day for five years only taking naps though out the day when Jessy-Bell was either over Jeffery's and Shaunna's playing or if Jessy-Bell herself took a nap. To this day she still didn't know how he did it.

Gabby closed her eyes and listen. All she could hear was Bo deep heavy breathing. He was still sound. She took a chance and rolled over in bed and cuddled into Bo's side. Still Bo remained asleep. He did stir a bit but only moved to make himself more conferable. Gabby lid there watching her husband sleep. To this day she still didn't know what she could of done that would have awarded her him. To her he was her everything. Her prince charming, her Knight in shining armor, her everything! He still loved the though she couldn't give him children The thought brought back all the pain from the day before. Though she and Bo had never talked about expanding there family it was just something they both thought would come in time. They had been married for three years and they still acted like newlyweds. Specially when Jessy-Bell was not around.

Gabby smiled at the thought. She and Bo could get carried away sometimes. As the memories started to come back to her she had to try to hold back a little laugh.

"Mmmm... May I be included in on the joke? Or is it a privte one?" asked Bo. Gabby jumped in surprise. She hadn't realized that Bo had waken up and was watching her lie there. Gabby cheeks turned a bright red. Bo laughed and leaned in and kissed her lips.

"Mmmmm..." He muttered through his smile. "I love it when they turn that color." He leaned down to her and kissed each check. Gabby just smiled and pressed her face closer into his side for a minute and then pulled back and push herself up to rest her head on his chest.

"Did I wake you?" she asked.

"Not really. I was in a light sleep anyways." Bo yawn out. "Time for me to be getting up anyways."

"Mmm... Not yet though. You stay here for a bit longer. Jessy-Bells' not up yet so we can stay here a little longer." begged Gabby. There was nothing more she loved then just lying there in his arms. Gabby's bounced alittle when Bo laughed but agreed to stay there in bed alittle longer. He turned over on his side still keeping his arms around her. They lid there facing each other.

"Bo? Are you sure you're okay with me not being able to have children?" Gabby asked.

Bo sighed. He rolled forward so that Gabby was on her back and he was leaning over her. He took her face in one hand and kissed her lightly. When he pulled back he look her right in the eye.

"Gabriella Anna Duke. As much as I would love to have children with you; it doesn't bother me that you can't have any. I'm sadden by it, yes. But I of all people know that you can still have a family without being able to have children. If we decide that we want more then Jessy-Bell, then we can always adopt. That's not a problem." said Bo. Gabby smiled at him. Then something he said did sit right with her.

"What do you mean you of all people should know?"

"Wha?" asked Bo

"You said "I of all people should know you can still have a family without being able to have children." What did you mean?"

"Oh. Well my Aunt and Uncle couldn't have children of their own." replied Bo

"Oh." Replied Gabby. "Did they adopt?"

"Kind of." replied Bo. "My parents died in a car crash when I was just 8 months old. They raised me."

At that Gabby sat up in bed. It was the first time she had ever heard Bo talk about his family out side herself and Jessy-Bell. And that's went hit her. How much did she really know about Bo? He had just showed up here in Green's Ville with Jessy-Bell and that was it. Not back ground, no history, no nothing. She couldn't believe it. They had be married what? Three years now and she knew nothing of where he came from.

"Gabby is everything alright?" asked Bo.

"Bo... I just though of something." She responded

"What?"

"I have no idea where you are from. Or anything about you from before you came to Green's Ville for that matter." Gabby said

"Ah...Well..." replied Bo. "You never really asked." Joked Bo.

"Bo I'm not joking. Really though. I mean you know my back story. About my brothers, my mother and father, but I know nothing about you. I can't believe I just realized this"

Bo sat up in bed. "Well..."he said. "What do you now to know?"

Gabby just looked at him.

"Ahhh..." replied Gabby shocked. "Just like that. I ask the question and you answer?"

"Yes Mam" replied Bo

"Okay... How about Mother and Father's name?"

" Beauregard Duke and Bella May Duke"

"Oh... is that where Bell come's from in Jessy-Bell's name?"

"That's right. Jessy after my Uncle Jessie who raised me (I chance the spelling a bit tho) and Bell after my mother."

"Oh. Okay. Brothers and sisters?"

"Yes and No. I was an only child by my parents but my Aunt Martha and Uncle Jessie raised three of us. Me, and my cousins Luke and Daisy. We were pretty much brother's and sister." Bo explained with a sad look on his face.

"Did they all die?" asked Gabby

"Hm... Oh no... Well.... Aunt Martha died when I was 13. Last I know tho is Daisy, Luke and Uncle Jessie were alive."

"So why am I just now hearing about them?"

Bo took a deep breath. "Yea see. It all kind of got to do with Jessy-Bell's mother, Linda-Ann. Everything was fine up until the point where Linda-Ann found out she was pregant."

"They didn't approve of her?"

"Well... Yes and No. Linda-Ann is a Hogg. And well Duke's and Hogg's don't really get alone. So much so that I'm surprise that Jessy-Bell haven't exploded with the conflict in her blood."

"Was."

"Uh?"

"You said Linda-Ann is a Hogg. Not Was."

"No..." Bo signed. "Just as well to tell you the whole lot. Last I know Linda-Ann is still alive."
