Bo shook his head,squeezing Jesse's hand. "I can't...I can't do it..."

"But its different now! Luke's got Jaime...he's got Jaime to think about...I...Troy...Troy's my son...but I dont want to take him..." Bo admitted, tears streaking. "I don't know what to do!"

"But...but what...will I do without you...I...I already don't know what to do and neither does Luke!" Bo exclaimed, more and more emotion welling.

"No....no its not...he can set a time but you dont have to be there...you just gotta fight..." Bo half tried to reason and half tried to beg.

Bo swallowed hard and his eyes grew a little wider at what Jesse was implying. "But you...you can't just...not yet..."

Bo frowned a little and shook his head softly. "What d'ya mean..."

Bo bit his lip, sniffing a little before he looked up to Jesse. "What's goin' on..."

Bo shook his head and looked down to the floor. "You always taught us not to keep important things from family..."

Bo looked to him, swallowing softly and saying just as quietly. "Family's supposed to support each other..."

Bo froze in the doorway, swallowing softly as he saw his Uncle. He had never liked to see Jesse like this....there was the time when Bo and Luke were running from a bounty hunter, and Jesse had gone to investigate an area, but had only succeeded in falling down the hillside and hitting his head, putting him in a coma. Bo had cried then while Luke could only watch as Bo refused to be consoled by anything other than Jesse himself telling him he was ok...which wasn't to happen until a few days after. And a tear slid down his cheek now as he silently headed to the side of the hospital bed once more and sat in the chair placed there, taking Jesse's non-iv'd hand between his own two hands and holding it softly.

"I'm his nephew..." Bo called back over his shoulder as he was already half way down the corridor heading to Jesse's room by the time she had given him the number. He muttered to himself afterwards though. "Not that you'd know that considering he don't act like family should anymore..."

Bo, his single track mind now changed to speed towards the hospital, soon felt tears warming his eyes. He knew his Uncle was getting older, and sometimes noticed the way Uncle Jesse seemed more tired than usual but he had thought nothing of it...he also noticed how Luke was more tired still and was always out of bed before him now...but again had thought nothing of it...especially nwo that Jaime was around and this whole thing with Troy had flared up. In no time at all with soft tears dribbling down his cheeks, he was in the hospital car park and had skidded into a space, running in and going to the receptionist's desk. "What room is Jesse Duke in.."

"Well he's gonna know I found out....once i've been to see Uncle Jesse..." He said as he slid into the driver's seat and flared the General to life.

Bo closed his eyes a moment, biting his bottom lip before standing up and heading out to General Lee again without a word.

Bo's eyes were wide with shock and his jaw hung open just a little as he tried to process the information that Cooter was telling him...so not only was Uncle Jesse sick and not letting on...but Luke was also making himself sick and not letting on...all thoughts of what he was previously going to do had now flown out the window. Shaking his head, he looked down at the floor and scrubbed a hand down his face. "What d'ya mean Uncle Jesse's ailin'? He...Is he even at the farmer's convention he was goin' to?!"

Bo now was starting to get more confused. "Cooter you just said this was about Luke, will ya make up yer mind?!"

Bo's frown deepened and he sat up a little straighter. "What d'ya mean its a little more than that..."

Bo sighed and shook his head. "What about him? You gonna tell me he broke his foot? I do know that Cooter..."

Bo sat down in the chair in Cooter's office, folding his arms. "Alright what's so all fired important.."

Bo sighed and looked up to the sky before looking to Cooter again, shaking his head before saying as he headed to the garage. "Fine but I got some real important stuff to do so make it quick would ya..."

Kissing Cliff!! And I ain't watched that episode in a long while, I remember because I wrote a story on what happened when the boys told Daisy about her car and had to look up the name by watching the DVD and have remembered ever since!

Bo clenched his jaw and put his hands on his hips as he looked to Cooter. "Well this can't wait either Cooter!"

"Busy." Bo replied shortly as he carried on walking.

Bo slid out the General, still mad enough to chew nails although the ride there in the General had calmed him somewhat, heading over to the lawyers office.

Cooter sighed and nodded, seeing Bo tearing into the town square. "Yeah I can tell...he just pulled up...I'll do my best buddy..."
