"I know...I do too..." Bo admitted softly though he'd been trying to distance himself from that feeling.

Carefully and quietly, Bo lead Luke to their room to sit down on one of the beds, knowing by the way Luke was leaning on him that Luke wouldn't be able to stand on his own. Sitting on the bed, he continued to just hold his cousin close as he grieved.

Bo just held him, tears dripping down his own cheeks silently as he heard Luke grieve properly for the man they had lost. Luke was finally letting those emotions go...

Bo swallowed hard as he caught his older cousin as he doubled over, sobbing as Bo had heard him sob so many times over the last few months...sobbing like he himself had sobbed before too. He held Luke close and rocked him gently as they stood in the lounge.

Bo nodded a little, pushing away from their orange stock car and putting a hand on Luke's shoulder, slowly walking in with him. He offered what little support he could through the gentle squeeze on his older cousins shoulder...he knew this would be hard for Luke, it had been hard for him to step through the door to the farm knowing Jesse was never gonna be there again too...

Bo smiled a little as he did and carefully slid out his window too, climbing out the General and leaning against him.

Bo glanced to Luke as he sighed, biting his lip and wondering if Luke were about to tell him to turn back round and take him back to the hospital.

It wasn't long before Bo pulled up at the farm, it looking well maintained and as normal as if Luke had never left it. There was washing on the line, the chickens were ambling around the yard and Maudine was scratching her head against the stall...even the trees didnt seem to have changed in the months Luke had been away.

Bo couldn't help but smile a little as he whistled, hearing Luke humming along beside him, even if only softly. He'd hated having to drive on his own and not knowing when he was going to have his driving buddy back...he had just missed everything about life with Luke on the farm, especially now since Daisy was out on her own and Jesse had passed. To say he was relieved that Luke was starting to come back already was an understatement.

Feeling the air between them go tense again, Bo bit his lip a little before starting to whistle a tune him and Luke knew very well.

Bo didn't notice that that was what Luke wanted so continued to just head back to the farm with both hands on the wheel and his eyes on the road. After just getting Luke back, he didn't want to run the risk of losing him again by doing something stupid and getting them both hurt.

"Sure has..." Bo said with a smile as he slid behind the wheel with ease, starting up the powerful engine and heading for home.

Bo raised an eyebrow as they neared the general, saying back at him with a smirk. "You still remember how t'get in him or has Sara done talked that outta yer mind?"

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.
