Bo softened slightly as he looked over at Luke. "Baby cousin....you ain't called me that...in a long time...."

Bo jumped and wriggled as Luke started to tickle him, laughing and trying to push Luke away "Luke! Quit...it...I was...just...tellin'...the truth...." In an instant, he quickly snapped his arm up and wrapped it round Luke's neck, pulling him down to hold him in a headlock and started rub his knuckles quickly along the top of his head (otherwise known as a noogie).

Bo continued to cough a little before replying. "Yeah I know....that's why...I's had....so many more....dates than you....oh...little one..." Bo grinned, knowing the issue about him being taller than Luke was bound to provoke some kind of reaction.

Bo laughed and nearly choked on the mouthful of coffee he had just took, managing to swallow most of it, but only laughed harder as some of it trickled out of his nose. "Everyone....knows....I'm the....favourite....ask any girl....and they'll tell ya that...."

Bo had to burst out laughing at Jesse's statement and serious look, everyone knew that as soon as that shine slipped down your throat and into your stomach it felt like your insides had been put into a furnace. "Wha...whatever you say...Uncle Jesse...." He looked over to Luke, seeing his raised eyebrows and gently teased. "Look's like Luke's...a little....jealous...you didn't...bless him...with the decision..." He slowly took another sip of the coffee

Bo laughed slightly and took another sip, better prepared now that he actually knew the coffee was laced. "Yeah I know.....but still...ya never need ta be....s..s...sneaky about it Uncle Jesse.....I ain't...n...never gonna....turn down....shine....you should know that...."

Bo nodded gratefully to Luke as he covered him up with the extra quilt, rubbing his eyes slightly. "Yeah...t...thanks Luke...." He looked up as Jesse returned with the coffee and gently took a sip before scrunching his eyes up and shaking his head at the kick that it had. "Uncle Jesse! That's got 'shine in it!...." He opened his eyes again and grinned at his Uncle. "Ya know....if ya want me to....h..h..have some....'shine....a..a..a.all you had to do was....ask....didn't need....ta...lace....coffee with it...."

Bo nodded gratefully to Luke as he covered him up with the extra quilt, rubbing his eyes slightly. "Yeah...t...thanks Luke...." He looked up as Jesse returned with the coffee and gently took a sip before scrunching his eyes up and shaking his head at the kick that it had. "Uncle Jesse! That's got 'shine in it!...." He opened his eyes again and grinned at his Uncle. "Ya know....if ya want me to....h..h..have some....'shine....a..a..a.all you had to do was....ask....didn't need....ta...lace....coffee with it...."

Bo's shivering subsided a little as Luke bundled him in all the clothes, although a small tremble still remained and the cold stutter was still evident, but Bo was starting to feel a little stronger, strong enough that he slowly managed to push himself up to lean against the headboard again, leaning back against it.

OK got a new one from The Rustlers Luke: This here's Luke calin' Uncle Jesse, Daisy, Cooter....and any other elves out there in the forest.. Cracks me up lol

Hey! I'm from England as well, but I love down south, near Portsmouth in a little town called Gosport. Heard of it? I doubt it lol. Welcome to HazzardNet :-)

Bo shivered again in Luke's embrace but his eyes never left Luke's. He could see in his brothers a determination and spirit that he knew should be in his own, should be in his very soul to beat this thing. But, like Luke said, the old Bo that everyone knew was indeed in him somewhere...it was just so tiring and also painful to bring him back...he wanted to now though, after everything Luke had just said to him...he couldn't help but believe in what his cousin was saying. With that, he looked down slightly before looking back up at him, jaw now clenched tightly, despite his shivering, and the flash of determination now spingboarded back into his own eyes. He smiled slightly at Luke through the chattering of his teeth and nodded.

Bo looked tearfully up at Luke, blinking rapidly to try and clear some of the tears that nestled in the bottom of his eyes. "I....I don't know....a part of me doesn't....but right now ii'm thinkin'....that death would be a lot eaisier than this....and what if somethin' goes wrong Luke....." Bo swallowed. He had learned a lot about diseases in school, unfortunatly, he rememebered most of the graphic ones. "If it gets....to bad....my organs....might fail....what if my kidneys fail and....I have to be on Dialisis for the rest of my life....or my muscles get damages and I can never walk again....so many things can go wrong Luke....its the easist way out...."

Bo nodded tearfully as Jesse explained what they were going to do. He hated this, really hated it. He couldn't do anything for himself or anybody else...maybe it would be better if he did just die...end all of this once and for all....

Bo shivered violently in Jesse's hold as his temperature dropped again. He cries slightly harder, shaking not only wth cold but now with fear as well.

Crying softly, shaking his head, Bo cuddled into Jesse. "N...No.....w...won't...people...d..d...d...die of this....I'm...d...d.dyin' ...Dyin'..."

Bo sniffs and blinks a couple of times, still shivering, his mouth opening and closing but unable to form any words. Maleria....people died from that....people DIED from having that....and they hadn't caught it straight away either....that was even worse... Tears slipped gently down his cheeks....he didn't want to go back into hospital...but then again he didn't want to die either....

Bo looked up at Jesse, still shivering and scared but wanting to know what was going on. "Uncle...J...J...Jesse...what's....g...g...going on?"

Bo wanted nothing more than to fall asleep at that moment, but the cold and the fear that he held that he really was dying kept him wide awake.

Bo cuddled more into Luke, his whole body no longer felt like it was on fire...instead he felt like he had been buried in ice....

Bo wrapped his arms round Luke's waist, shivering as his temperature dropped further. He was suddenly very very scared again and whimpered slightly "Luke....m'scared...."

Bo cuddled in closer to Luke and shivered some more, asking in a small, scared tone of voice, all traces of the small amount of confidence he had had now gone. "What;s...h...happening....t...to me....L....L...Luke?"

Shivering underneath the covers, Bo pulled out one arm and took the thermometer, placing it under his tounge before curling back up underneath the covers, hugging his middle in an attempt to keep himself warm.

Bo shivered a little but nodded as he slipped back down to lie down again. "Yeah Luke....could you....shut the window as well....feelin' kinda cold now...." Daisy smiled and started up the engine, making her way to the Boar's Nest.

Daisy smiled "Good....see ya tonight Uncle Jesse, bye." She waved as she went out the door and called back slightly to B.L. "You comin' in Dixie or goin' in Ol' Red?" Bo gently sipped the water, taking in more than he had done previously as he felt Luke gently coaxing him to swallow, using his thumb to gently massage his throat.
