Bo stopped and gently put his hands on Luke's shoulders, giving them a gentle squeeze. "Cousin, you never will be a baby t'me...okay...I don't mind if you wanna hold my hand...you been through a lot, you need some security...its fine..." With that, Bo reached out and grasped Luke's hand and continued on their way to the General, holding his hand all the way there, their blood brother scars pressed together.

Bo looked to him as Luke pulled his hand away sharply. "Sorry fer what?"

Bo nodded with a grin that he couldn't force off his face. Extending a hand to Luke, having packed up what little stuff he had with him, and heading out the hospital with him.

"No problem Luke...i'll see you soon. You take care too Bo.." Bo nodded with a smile, shaking her hand as well. "I will...thank you so much for everything you've done for him..." Sara nodded back with a smile of her own, "No Problem, see you round..." With that, she left the room to go file the paperwork, a deep feeling of satsifaction at helping yet another person regain a normal life but also sadness that she would no longer get to be with him as much as she had been.

Sara nodded, extending her hand to him for a handshake. "Its been a real pleasure gettin' t'know you Luke...I hope everything goes well at home, I really do.."

Sara smiled and gave his shoulder a friendly squeeze when he'd done it, taking the papers back from him before giving him a card. "This is my number...if you need me, or you just need to talk, call that and we'll talk anytime. I'll come round a couple of times a week to check on how things are going for a while, make sure your settling back in ok.."

Sara returned just then with the papers on a clip board, handing them to Luke to sign. "Just sign where i've indicated Luke then your free to go home..."

Bo smirked, wriggling his eyebrows. "That is if ya can get used t'my snoring again right?"

"Its gonna be so great t'have ya back on the farm cousin...really really is..." Bo said softly, seeing the doubt still playing in Luke's eyes and he knew that it wasn't because he didn't really wanna come home, it was whether or not he'd be able to fit right back in.

"Of course i'll have ya! Aint even up to me, the door's always open t'ya...its yer home..." He said softly.

Bo sighed and sank back to sit on the bed again "Your really comin home?"

Bo swallowed, sniffing gently as he pulled back too, wiping his cheeks and nose on his hankie. "Sorry....know you cant stand seein grown men cry..."

Bo choked on a half laugh, half sob...just that one line sounded so much like the brother he knew.

Bo could only nod as he continued to just share a tight hold with his brother, trembling slightly, unable to believe that today was the day Luke would come home.

"Ca...can't...he...help it..." Bo stuttered out gently, shaking his head a little. "Mis...missed you so..so...much..."

Bo clung to Luke's shirt as he always had done, even when a child, when he was upset. He wasn't crying because of Luke's decision, he was crying with relief that maybe now things could start getting back in some kind of order. He knew that for a long while Luke was still gonna need support, still gonna be fairly unstable in his thinking and his confidence...but he couldn't press down the feeling that it wouldn't be long once Luke was home that he would be able to see his older, protective, strong, kind older brother that he so missed.

Bo near choked, hearing the words coming from Luke that he had wanted to hear for so long. Stumbling forward he pulled Luke into a tight hug.

At that, Bo near fell off the bed, blinking his eyes a little at what he had thought he just heard. "You...you what?"

Bo watched as Sara left the room before looking back to Luke again, sitting on the bed. "You ok?"

Sara smiled up at him as he came in, nodding as she stood up to go and get the paperwork. "In fact, Luke wants t'talk to you now, so good timing..."

Before long, Bo came back into the room tentitavly, not wanting to interrupt anything in case Luke was talking again. "It ok to come in?"

Sara smiled gently, closing her eyes a little as he kissed her cheek gently before looking back to him at his quiet whisper. Nodding softly, she squeezed his hand again, not allowed to return the kiss on his cheek for work reasons. "Its ok...i'm glad I could help.."

Sara swallowed gently and squeezed his hand softly in response.

"Luke we only pointed ya down a path...you made the journey yerself..." She replied softly.

Sara bit her lip a little, not saying anything now, just listening again.
