Bo bit his lip as he looked under the bed, now actually looking for his other boot which had somehow gone out of his field of vision...which was strange because he had just kicked it off to change his pants. "Right...well...course you can come if you wanna..."

Bo closed his eyes a little with his back turned to Luke as he pretended to be looking for something. He really...really didn't want to talk but if he said as much then Luke was going to know that something was wrong. "I'm surprised you wanna come...I woulda thought that you'd wanna spend some time with Jesse and start thinkin' about things you need t'buy or build or somethin'...s'why I was gonna go out t'give you an' Jesse some time t'talk..."

Bo looked over as he pulled out fresh clothes from his drawers and his cupboard, frowning a little. "Now? I'm kinda on my way to the Boar's Nest...can't we talk later? I wanna get there before Cooter leaves..." He asked as he got changed, pulling out what little money he had in his wallet into his pocket.

Gonna say F/ Poor Old Cooter

Bo stretched as he finished his magazine, instantly trying to think of something else to do before Luke started asking him his opinion on the situation...something he really wasn't ready to do at the moment. Biting his lip, he headed to their room to get dressed in fresh clothes...one sure thing to take his mind off the situation was girls and beer....and the best place for that was at the Boar's Nest.

Bo shook his head a little, smiling up at his Uncle with the same smile had had been using when Judd had been around. "I'm really ok Uncle Jesse..."

Bo glanced up as he heard the hiss, wondering at first if it was a snake or something until it said Luke. Biting his lip, he glanced up at his older cousin.

Bo quivered softly as his sobs died down to hiccups tiredly, the emotions draining the small boy tremendously, especially since he had just run a long way.

Bo jerked his head up quickly hearing his name, looking around slightly seeing Luke now gone and Jesse looking at him expectantly. "Hmm? Oh, nothin' really...nothin' important." He said with a shrug, picking up the magazine again.

Another really tender quote from Jesse to the boys is in Undercover Dukes when Bo and Luke are leaving the farm. He hugs them both and says... Jesse: *hugs* "Luke Boy...Be careful..." Luke: "Yeah..." *pulls away* Bo: *moves forward and hugs Jesse* Jesse: "Bo Baby...you be good now..." Bo: "Yes sir..." Its quite quiet and there's music playing over it, but if you turn the subtitles on you can just about make it out

Season 5 - Farewell Hazzard - Second to last episode in the season. It is also the same epiosde in which we find out a little bit more about Bo and Luke's childhood. From Luke and Bo being on a softball team to Luke taking a swing at Bo's head with his bat. Very moving scene between the boys in the empty old farmhouse. Hope this helps.

I'm gonna say B/ also.

Yeah Bo said it when they moved there. He's quite bitter about it.

Jesse nodded gently, smiling behind his beard, unable to believe this was the same person who a year ago wouldn't be even dreaming about having this conversation. "Its not the end of the world if you don't get to have him here though Luke...it don't mean you can't still visit him, spend days with him. If anythin'...sometimes bein' a friend is better than bein' a father..." Bo however clearly wasn't listening, wrapped up in his own thoughts.

"Son...we'll figure it out when the time comes to it. You might not even get to bring him here yet. The first thing we need to think about when we know he's going to be here is where he's going to sleep and which school t'enroll him in. That's the most important thing." Jesse said gently, seeing that Luke was trying really hard to make things work already. He just hoped that Luke wasn't getting his hopes up too early. There was still a lot of reasons why they could turn him down.

Bo bit his lip as he watched his cousin...he couldn't remember the last time his cousin had been like this. It was a while ago that was for sure...it may have been when Candy had arrived back in Hazzard again. It was strange to say the least, but also nice. Also though...Bo couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive of someone else joining their close family. When Judd had arrived on the scene, looking for Luke, sure he had been supportive and did everything he could to help make Judd feel welcome...had even saved his life. But a part of him had been greatly jealous of the fact that Luke was bestowing his attention on someone else...was becoming close to someone else. He had never known his parents, so it didn't hurt that much, but to lose his brother would hurt him...more then he thought Luke knew. He and Luke were practically inseperable...he really didn't know what would happen if suddenly Luke's time was taken up with someone else. Jesse however, smiled and stood up again, going to Luke and patting his shoulder. "If it makes you happy...and you really think little Zack can get on well here...then you have my blessing son..."

For a long moment, Jesse just watched his eldest son...seeing in him something he had said before he never thought he would. He had always claimed to the both of them that, with their wild ways, the chances of them producing a family would be bout like hogs producing beef...or something to that effect anyway. If he was honest with himself, he still thought that about Bo. Granted he was still young, had some more growing up to do...but then he didn't know if Bo really ever would. For much of his life he had been sheltered by Luke, protected by him and he doubted that would ever really end. He had big dreams that Luke had helped him realize could come true...and he didn't doubt that in the end Bo would go for those dreams of being the greatest NASCAR driver on the track. But looking at Luke...he knew he had never really believed the elder boy to be single and a skirt chaser forever. Luke loved kids, he knew the patience and understanding it took to raise a family. He knew how to treat someone he really loved, as proven with the one girl he had ever seen Luke really happy with - Candy Dix. Then, when both boys had been a part of the big brother programme, they had had Andy to contend with and raise. If he was honest, he would say that really it had been Luke to change the boy more than Bo. Bo just didn't have the patience. While this was not really what Jesse had intended to happen when he sent Luke to the orphanage - the intent being more to see if a family was something Luke wanted to have, was the thing he was missing - he figured that if Luke was ready now to make this step, this big commitment to such a dependent individual, then he was sure that finding the right person to be with him for the rest of his life wasn't far behind. Eventually, he nodded with a small smile. "If its what you feel you need to do Luke, what you really want to do, then we aint got no right t'stop ya. I'm sure we'll make some room for him somewhere here. Next time though, I'd rather you came t'talk t'us before you actually put yourself forward to be. From the way your chatterin' like a chipmunk, i'm guessin' that's what you already did."

Bo glanced up at his Uncle as Luke rambled on, starting to get the idea of what Luke was trying to say. It had been a long time since they had had a kid in the house...but he assumed by how Luke was talking that there would soon be one...and he didn't know how his Uncle would take it. Jesse kept nodding gently along with what Luke was saying, sitting down in his chair.

Jesse watched him with a small smile hidden behind his beard. Like Bo was thinking it had been a long time since they had heard Luke banter with Bo and it was even longer since he had stayed in one room without zoning out every 5 seconds.

Uhhh I say B/ Hazzard's Heavenly Acres....I remeber Heavenly Acres being there at some point but I though it was Hogg's. I need to watch this one again, its so funny lol

Bo watched from his position on the couch, rather amuzed at the fact that his usually calm and collected older cousin was stumbling over his words. He was going to say something about it when he caught the look that his Uncle had given him quickly, warning him not to say anything.

Bo looked up at him, closing the magazine and putting it on the table as he sat up, just as Jesse came into the living room in fresh clothes. "What's real important?" The old man asked, seeing the change in Luke already just as Bo had had, hiding a smile behind his beard.

Bo didn't look down, still crying into his Uncle's shoulder, wishing it was his auntie's as his whole little body shook and shuddered with the sobs being torn from his throat.

Bo bit his lip, seeing the smile, but didn't say anything. Quietly he went back to reading his magazine, getting the feeling that whatever Luke had been searching for he had found...and what he had found was going to be something gaurenteed to shake up the way things were around the Duke Farm.

Bo glanced up as the front door opened, noticing instantly the change in Luke with a slight smile. Trust Uncle Jesse to be right as always and to help Luke find his own solution. "Well hey Cuz..."
