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.

Sara frowned just a little. "What d'ya mean?"

"Well it aint like you've had time ta between everythin else have ya...i'm sure it won't be long 'fore ya are..." Sara replied with a small smile.

Sara giggled a little, shaking her head. "M'sure once you get back to yer home and the girls start swarmin' in to comfort the invalid i'm sure you'l forget all about me.."

Sara smiled and pulled back, looking him in the eyes as she so often did. "You've made great progress here Luke...and most of it has been down to you when i've just sat here listening...I have complete faith in you that you can go back and live like you wanna..."

Sara smiled as she rubbed his back softly. "I know you can do this...don't be frightened...your going home to be with your family again...and as much as I know your doing this to support them...let them support you too..."

Sara smiled and now got up, crossing over to him and hugging him gently. "I know ya do...you've been wanting to for a long time...I was just waiting for you to voice your concerns...the paperworks been done for a while now...all it needs is your signature..."

As far as I know, computer files dont lose their quality..

"Well yeah course...once your out of here its not really patient and doctor anymore though anythin you tell me would still be confidential and the like...but yeah we could go out for a drink or something..." Sara said in return with a smile and a nod.

Sara chuckled, shaking her head "I'm not dropping off the face of the planet Luke...you'll have my number, you can call me when you need to...i'll come out and check on you once in a while...we could even arrange to meet as friends sometimes..."

"If you mess up, you mess up...so what? It's human nature, its how things happen sometimes. No one is perfect, no one has ever not made a mistake in their lives...don't worry about getting things wrong, just go through life as you usually would and if you make a mistake, just either forget about it or re try something a different way...you can't stop mistakes Luke, your only human." She said softly, reaching out a reassuring hand and putting it on his knee.
