After their little boy Matthew was born, she figured it was time to have that conversation she had been avoiding. Surprisingly, it was Bo who approached the subject.
Bo (Holding Matthew in his arms): Nora, what is it? You look so far away? I’ve been noticing this for a while now. What’s wrong?
Nora: There’s something I have to tell you. And I’m afraid… I’m afraid it might change the way you feel about me.
Bo (Pulling her towards him for a passionate kiss): Nora, I love you. I know I gave you reason to doubt that in that past but nothing you could ever say could change that.
Nora: You don’t know what I almost did.
Bo: Ok? There’s something right there. You said ALMOST. Whatever it was you must of realized it wasn’t the right thing to do.
Nora: I did. But it doesn’t change the facts.
Bo: Ok? But there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you myself.
He got up and put Matthew in the nursery. Nora came in and kissed him goodnight as well. Then they returned to their bedroom.
Bo: Honey relax… It’s nothing serious. I… I just want to tell you thank you.
Nora (Tears in her eyes): Me? For what? I haven’t done anything.
Bo: How can you say that baby? You had more faith in me… in us… than I did for a long time. You brought me back from the brink sweetheart. And no matter what, I could never even begin to tell you how grateful I am that you continued to fight for us when I wouldn’t. I don’t know what I would of done of I lost you. I love you so much Red.
(He pulled her into his arms and they started kissing)
Nora: Bo I need you to understand that everything I did I did because I love you. I was terrified of loosing you. I didn’t always believe in us like I should of. But I think Luna gave me a sign. Cause after I made a wish on a shooting star, I knew what I had to do. And after that moment, I became the woman who fought like hell to hold on to her man.
Bo: I’m glad you did. I never would of made it without you.
Nora: I’m sure you would have been fine.
Bo: No baby. You showed me why it was important to go through all the pain together. Thanks to you, I was able to get through all my emotions regarding Drew. And you helped me to not be afraid of loving another child that much. I just want you to know that I always loved you, even when I couldn’t show you just how much.
Nora: I know that Bo. I do. That’s what gave me the courage to stop the train wreck I almost boarded. Because I knew that somehow, someway, you would come back to us.
Bo: Ok, so now it’s my turn to be here or you. Whatever it is you need to tell me go ahead. I’m listening. And I will never judge you Nora. I know it wasn’t an easy time for you.
Nora: I did a terrible thing Bo. I… I went to Sam.
Bo looked up at her, surprise and pain written all over his face.
Bo: I’m glad he was there for you when I couldn’t be.
Nora: I’m sorry Bo. I… I asked him to… God I can’t even say it. It was so terrible.
Bo: Ok? But am I assuming that you had the good sense to walk away from it.
Nora: Yes. Because I couldn’t hurt you like that no matter what I thought my reasoning was. I love you Bo. Only you. You do know that don’t you?
Bo (Taking her hand): With all my heart. Now (Pausing) you want to tell me what you did?
Nora (Tears in her eyes): I… I almost slept with him. (She noticed the look of complete shock on his face and struggled to get through the rest). At that point I thought you couldn’t have any more children. I had already told you I was pregnant. I didn’t know what I was going to do.
Bo (A little angry): So you asked you’re ex lover to get you pregnant?
Nora: See, I told you it would change the way you feel about me.
(She turned away from him)
Bo: Don’t put words in my mouth sweetheart. I’m trying to understand.
Nora: I don’t even understand it myself. The only thing I can tell you is that nothing happened. NOTHING. I swear to you Bo, we didn’t even kiss. I realized almost immediately that I loved you too much to ever do that to you. I’m just sorry I even considered it. It was wrong. It was stupid. And the only excuse that I have is that I was out of my head with fear… fear of loosing you. I’m sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am.
Bo: I think I do. (He takes her face in his hands and wipes the tears from her face). I Love you Nora. Nothing you tell me will ever change that.
Nora: Does that mean…<br>
Bo: I forgive you red. The bottom line is that you realized you would have been throwing everything away by doing that. If you had gone through it, we wouldn’t be standing here today now would we?
Nora: I know. And I want you to know that I would never, ever cheat on you… no matter what. You’re the only man I want to make love to… the only man in my heart.
Bo: I know. And I feel the exact same way about you. We just came through a major stumbling block haven’t we?
Nora: Yes we have.
Bo: Ok. So know this. I love you first, last and always. And I would never, ever, do anything to throw that away. No matter what.
Nora: Neither would I. You have my word.
Bo: Ok… so…<br>
(He leaned in and kissed her rather passionately)
Bo (Whispering): You know… Matthew’s sleeping… I don’t hear a sound do you?
Nora (Laughing slightly): Not a one.
Bo: Ok… so… (He starts to move his hands towards the buttons of her shirt) I think this would be a good time to… you know… make up for lost time.
Nora (Smiling): Why Bo Buchanan… are you trying to seduce me?
Bo (Kissing her again): Oh No. I stopped trying about five minutes ago.
And with that they fell back on the bed and gave in to their feelings for as long as they could before the sounds of a newborn baby caused them to pull apart and tend to their son.
