Bo laughed, recognizing the start of that speech having heard it too many times himself. "Wel you know your a father when you start giving Uncle Jesse speeches..."

Bo nodded a little with a sigh. "Sure thing...I guess this feud has been goin' on long enough...I might not be able to stay awake to talk very long though, just a warnin'...honestly I don't know how Luke puts up with me sometimes...trying to drag someone out of an emotional stump is not only frustrating, its downright exhausting..."

Bo bit his lip to stop himself from grinning. He and Luke had both gone through that phase when they were teens, when they'd stay out knowingly later than they were meant to just because they could...seeing as they thought Uncle Jesse couldn't possible switch them anymore...something he had rectified very quickly. Jesse sighed and shook his head. "Well Luke no it ain't funny when your kids think that they can get away with things just because they's gettin' older but every parent goes through it with a teenager...its just a part of growin' up and unfortunatly you just gotta ride it out with a firm hand and negotiation."

Daisy shook her head and explained what was going on to Jesse to which Jesse chuckled. "Weell...look's like you's experiencin' some classic teenage rebellion Luke is all..."

Bo sighed and shook his head. "Lori I saw how you took what Luke told you...all you let him say at the farm was that he didn't like you that way and you just started crying and drove away saying you understood...that ain't a sign you understand, that's a sign you feel horrible and want to get away..." He didn't say anything about the yelling in the tree house, to be honest he was still a little sore about that and didn;t want to touch on the subject. He did smile a little when Candy asked about the lovebirds though. "Oh they're busy sucking the lips off each others faces..."

Bo looked over to Luke as he sighed and saw the deeply troubled look appear on his face again and Jesse didn't miss it either. "What's going on Luke?"

Bo sighed and looked to her. "You hurt Luke real bad...you tore him up...he tried to explain to ya that it was too near everything that had happened with Candy and it was right around the time he had gotten captured in the Marine's as well...at that time every year Luke gets that little bit more sensitive and touchy than usual...and I just...whenever someone hurts Luke bad enough that it makes him feel all torn up and clinging to me...it sets me off..."

Daisy looked up as Jesse came in and smiled to him, Bo joining them not too long after and sitting at the table, instantly reaching to grab a piece of bread but stopping when he got the glare from Jesse as the patriarch sat at his place.

Daisy sighed, sitting down at the table. "Well maybe it was....just a different type of cool..."

Daisy smiled as she placed some breakfast in front of him and called Uncle Jesse in for his as well as Bo from the bathroom. "Luke...she's testin' the waters...and she is right to a degree...it is real hot out there..."

Bo shook his head and sighed. "I just don't know what gets into him...he rarely ever gets bitten by the love bug but when he does he sure does come down with it hard..."

Jaime shook her head. "You wouldn't know what dressed moderatly is if it came up and slapped you in the face..." She mumbled back, going to her room and slamming the door.

Bo sighed and ran a hand down his face, shaking his head, "Yes you were shoutin'. There ain't no point shoutin' at IV lines because it ain't gonna do no good so just let em be. They's there to help ya, without em you wouldn'a lived. And I got a headache right now so peace and quiet sounds great..."

Jaime moved her chin out of his grip and looked down at the table again, sitting back in her chair. "I know that! But its Summer! It's too hot to wear jeans and long sleved tops...it could be worse Daddy, I could be going out wearing all them short skirts lots o'people are wearin'..."

Bo winced and groaned as Lori once more started to shout. He wasn't in the best of moods, Luke had given him a headache and he was tired out so...he snapped at her. "Actually I was hoping to have a polite, quiet conversation but obviously that just ain't possible with you is it! Why do you gotta go shoutin' your mouth off every ten seconds?"

Jaime shrugged, sitting down in the seat that Luke pressed her into at the breakfast table, putting her hands on the table and twidling her thumbs as she watched them.

Jaime sighed as she watched the school bus leave down the road, her friends all giving her sympathetic and better luck next time looks as she was walked inside like a prisoner was walked to a jail cell.

Bo grinned back, relinquishing his hold over to Luke. "But one thing I ain't been very good at is knowin' how to make them listen...good luck cousin..." He said with a wink before heading inside.

"Yeah well, this daughter wants to do some new things for herself..." She said, darting off the bed and out her room, darting through the kitchen and jumping over a kitchen chair, seeing the school bus just starting to drive past the farm and her friends all cheering her on. What she didn't count on however, was Bo. He eaisly was hidden behind the tree when he saw her steaming outside and caught her round her middle, holding her.

Jaime stood up, actually a little peeved at how Luke was reacting now. "Well I don't think its fair that Aunt Daisy gets to wear this sort of thing everyday and none of you's bats an eyelid!"

I found out who Martha Duke was! If you look at the episode Treasure of Hazzard, on September the 9th 1762 she gave birth to Joshua Duke - She was one of the first dukes to settle in Hazzard. So from that, this is what I think....the writers have got themselves very very confused is the obvious point, but that is where a Martha Duke is first mentioned. I recon Martha overall was Jessie's sister and Lavinia is his wife because Lavinia has more poignent moments in the Duke family mentioned, like her death. I've always believed it was Lavinia.

Jaime remained where she was, her arms folded across her chest. "I'd love to see you try and make me..."

Jaime folded her arms. "You can't make me wear anything..."

Jaime sighed and sat on her bed, looking up at him. "Daddy i'm 14 years old now....the cheerleaders are never gonna accept me if I don't show em what I got..." She said, laying down the second line. She knew her father hated the cheerleaders and had adamently forbid her from joining the squad, something she actually was still trying to dissuade him from.

Jaime shrugged and grabbed an apple out the bowl as she passed it, heading for the door and opening it. "Sorry Daddy, I'm gonna be late for school. Love ya, see ya tonight." With that she shut the door and headed out the yard. Daisy watched her go, biting her bottom lip a little and looking to Luke.
