"But I don't know what to say to him...I just...we both take things the wrong way and...then this kinda thing happens! I just...its so hard to talk to him sometimes..." Jaime said softly, her arms still wrapped around Jaime's waist.

Jaime soon hugged into Daisy, shaking her head a little before she buried it into her shoulder. She hadn't meant to hurt Luke or make her doubt his abilities to raise her, she loved him with all her heart...like she had said.... "I don't know what to do..."

Jaime sighed softly, sniffing hard.

Jaime swallowed, tears still streaking as she listened to what Daisy had to say, hiccuping softly before saying. "I...he's not a bad father...I just...I'm terrified of...of losing him...my father walked out on my mom and me before I could even get a memory of him...I don't wanna lose a daddy again!"

Jaime sobbed again, shaking her head. "But this is different...its a girl he likes...another girl..."

Jaime's lip wobbled a little and she turned her head away, resting her head on her hands.

Jaime shrugged and wrapped her arms around her knees. "I'm just selfish and spoilt..."

Jaime shook her head with a sigh, trembling a little as she started to repeat what she was feeling like to Daisy.

Jaime sighed and sniffed, looking back down at her lap.

Jaime swallowed softly and looked to her, biting her lip a little.

Jaime sighed and put it back on the plate. "I ain't hungry...please just leave me alone..."

Jaime bit her lip, smelling the fresh baked cookies and sitting up a little, taking one but toying with it in her hands more than anything, just staring down at her hands.

Jaime didn't answer, swallowing hard and sniffing as she heard Daisy. That was all she needed...now Daisy was going to call her selfish and a spoilt brat as well..all she needed with Jesse to say it too then she'd have the whole family turned against her.

Daisy watched him go before looking out to the barn. She sighed a little and gathered some fresh baked cookies onto a plate along with a glass of milk and headed out to the barn. Jaime was still crying in the hay.

Daisy nodded. "Good...now you best get to bed and rest that foot...i'll go see Jaime.."

Daisy sighed softly, rubbing his back gently. "Look..don't go thinking about changing doctors or anything like that till i've talked with Jaime alright...chances are she just needs to realize a few things."

Daisy however wasn't about to leave until Luke had answered her and she had at least got him to smile a little. "Luke...did you hear me or is your selective hearing coming into play again?"

"It is so long as you don't completly ignore her and lock her out of everything...Luke you can't do this to yourself. Not only is it not right, its also not fair. I'll bet that Jaime will get a boyfriend and not give a second thought about how you might feel about her dating...and no, before you say it, that's not different at all. I'll talk with Jaime, girls are always better at communicating feelings...don't you do anything until I've spoken with her, got it?" Daisy said firmly. She knew Luke was the elder...but sometimes he needed pointing in the right direction as much as anyone else. "And i'll bet if you took this to Uncle Jesse, he'd say the same as me."

Daisy's jaw hung open for a moment as she listened to what Jaime had said before she ran a hand down her face softly and placed her hand on Luke's shoulders. "Luke...your not selfish for wanting a relationship..." She sighed a little. "Look...I know that Jaime is special to you and you to her...but that does not give her the right to wrap you round her little finger and make you feel guilty for wanting a relationship...you are going to fall in love with people and Jaime needs to accept that. You can still be there for her and be happy...you just need to help Jaime understand that no matter what happens between you and a woman, she will always come first and you will always look out for her and make her happy...invite her to be a part of it, get her to meet your girlfriend and see how they both interact...Jaime might feel better once she knows who it is she has to share you with..."

"Selfish?! What're you talkin' about, your the most least selfish person in Hazzard!" Daisy exclaimed, shaking her head. "What in the world are you on about?!"

Daisy swallowed softly, taking him by the arm and helping him sit down. "Luke...tell me..."

Daisy was tidying up when Luke walked...well more hobbled back in on his crutches and instantly noticed the torn up, dejected look on his face. "Luke...Luke what's the matter..."

Jaime swallowed hard, tears still tracing down her cheeks...great...now not only did she feel like she was losing Luke as her father but now she felt horribly guilty that she had just ruined Luke's future. She just couldn't do anything right... Shaking her head, she sobbed again and retreated back to the hayloft, burying herself deep in the hay.

Jaime cried harder, half angry half ashamed tears falling down her cheeks. "Because I don't want you to go out with anyone! I want to be selfish and have you all to myself instead of having to share you and risk losing the only father figure i've ever had to someone else....I'm a spoilt little brat for thinking it but I don't care! That's how I feel!"

Jaime spun round, tears flowing. "No, its not that I don't think you should date her, you seem perfect for each other....its the fact I don't WANT you to date her..."
