Bo grinned "Right on top of your head...your hair's all streaked with grey...I should get my toy cars out I can test it out..."

"Right..." Bo said, shaking his head before leaning on the fence looking out over the farm again. Suddenly he jumped and looked to Luke. "Oh by the way! I forgot to tell you, they opened up a new race track!"

Bo smirked back "Oh ha ha, don't you start on me Lukas or i'll crack the old guy jokes out..."

Bo giggled as he kept playing with the feather, bouncing a little in Luke's lap as he got more excited. Lavinia smiled. "I know it dont seem like so much fun now Luke...but when he grows up you'll have lots of fun t'gether...wont be so many rules..but to get him there we gotta have rules for now ok?"

Bo nose wrinkled as Luke tickled him with it, giggling a little as he pulled back and plopped down in Luke's lap, looking up at the feather Luke held, reaching out his hand and batting it like a playful kitten, giggling as it moved. Lavinia bit her lip softly, standing up and moving next to Jesse beside the boys. "Luke dont let him hold that ok...he'll put it in his mouth.."

Bo looked to him, obviously not having a clue what Luke had just said but had heard his name and so had responded. Smiling up at Luke he pointed with his little finger. "Wuke."

Bo hugged onto Luke back, having missed his older cousin when he had been away. He may only have been little but he knew when Luke was missing, he knew when any of his family was missing, and he pined for them as much as anyone else did, maybe even more so. Lavinia watched with tears in her eyes, looking to Jesse as he spoke.

Bo looked up as he heard his name, looking to Luke and smiling, seeing his outstretched arms and knowing that usually meant a hug, Carefully he took a few steps forward holding onto Lavinia's hands before Lavinia let go and Bo half walked half stumbled the rest of the way to Luke's arms.

Lavinia shook her head, making a motion to be quiet before putting Bo on the floor, holding his hands and standing him up. "Alright Luke....call to him..."

Lavinia looked up with a smile and nodded. "Alrighty lets try this again then shall we...Luke sit down on the floor right where you are..."

Lavinia couldn't help but giggle a little as Luke sped out the house, shouting at the top of his lungs. There was no way the little boy wouldn't be heard by his Uncle who was only in the barn. Shaking her head a little she looked back to Bo, who seemed to be back to his normal self and was now trying to reach out and grab the shiny necklace hanging round Lavinia's neck. Smiling, Lavinia tickled him gently making the little blonde boy giggle happily.

Lavinia however either didn't really notice or didn't really care, more likely the latter, about how wilted and delapadated they were. "Oh Luke they're beautiful! I can't take em right now cause I got Bo. Why dont ya put them on that there table and i'll put them in some water in a minute...and would you go get your Uncle for me..."

Hey, not answering the question but yeah i'm around. I'm just too busy runnin from Rosco to answer all the time *rolls eyes* Dont help that Luke is never around when you need him either.

Lavinia chuckled softly, going into the lounge to sit with Bo on the couch, cradaling the still slightly frightened boy in her lap as she soothed him gently.

Lavinia shook her head, smiling a little as she rubbed Bo's back softly. The little boy was now just sniffling as he rested his head on his Auntie's shoulder, sucking on his thumb. "It was probably more likely the shock of actually doin' it...you gotta remember Luke, that Bo aint never stood up before so he ain't been so high on his own...and I's guessin' he fell as well which he ain't done so its another shock...that's all. It probably wasn't really yer fault at all.."

"He what...he walked?!" Lavinia asked gently as she rocked Bo who was starting to settle down again.

Bo's whimpering erupted into frightened wailing as Luke continued to talk in a louder voice, frightening him more. Lavinia hurried out from where she was doing the washing. "Luke your back! Hey sweetie...c'mon Bo..." Carefully she took Bo from Luke's arms, rocking him gently.

Bo jumped as he heard Luke's part yell, whimpering and falling to the floor, eyes big and worried as he looked up at his older cousin.

Bo however was not one to wait, even back when he was a kid. Crawling into the kitchen, he saw Luke and squealed excitedly, grabbing onto the table and pulling himself to his feet, walking towards Luke. "Wuke!"

However, the first voice he heard was not that of his Aunt or Uncle, it was the delighted shriek that came from the living room. "Wuke!!"

Bo frowned and looked to Luke once more. "What d'ya mean?"

Bo chuckled. "Guess I was always a compulsive bundle of surprises then huh.."

Bo hugged Luke back though his little arms didn't reach round Luke completly as Lavinia looked on with a smile, hugging Jesse.

Lavinia smiled, looking to Jesse with tears in her eyes. "He said his first word Jessie..." Bo however seemed completly oblivious to the feat he had achieved, once again being facinated with Luke's shirt buttons.

Lavinia grabbed his hand and pulled him into the living room, sitting next to Luke on the couch and getting Bo's attention again, him having been once more more interested in playing with Luke's shirt buttons, asked him softly. "Bo...Bo whose this..." At this she pointed to Luke. Bo looked to Luke then looked back to Lavinia and Jesse, smiling before pointing to Luke himself and saying. "Wuke..."
