Jesse shook his head and gently pulled the little boy into his lap, holding him close. For such a young person, Luke had already experienced so much tragedy. No kid that young should have to go through something as traumatic as losing your parents at the same time...all Luke had ever really known is death and illness of the ones he loved the most...Jesse wished he could show him it didn't all have to be that way.

*Bo nodded a little, knowing it would help a lot though but in truth he knew Lue didn't want to sell the General either...General Lee had been their first project together when Luke came back from the Marines...one of the things that had helped Luke to feel somewhat normal again...as much as the General Lee meant a lot to Bo...to Luke it meant a lot more and that was something not many people knew. Luke owed the General Lee a lot more than he had ever let on.*

Jesse looked to Luke, sighing gently again and shaking his head. "Luke I tol' ya not t'get attatched..."

Jesse continued to watch them both until the fawn refused to drink anymore, carefully laying the little head back down and covering it back up properly as it drifted back to sleep.

*nods softly* Yeah...

"It ain't up to him...s'our car..." *says softly...he didn't want to give up the General, no one iota...but the farm was his home, he had known no other...and at the end of the day that was more important...*

Bo just waved a little in response, for once not having the words to say anything back....none that he thought were good enough to say goodbye with anyway.

Bo swallowed hard, biting his lip before looking to Luke and saying softly...even though it choked him up to even suggest it. "We..we could...sell the General..."

Jesse sighed softly as he made sure the fawn was settled, before saying quietly. "I don't know Luke...either...she's abandoned the little thing because its injured or...or its passed on son.."

"No! No course I want it! Its great...I just...its hard after...hearing what Uncle Jesse just said about the farm...I...its hard to think about anything beyond that right now..." *he said softly*

The fawn shifted a little as it drank, still very weak but getting uncomfortable just laying on its side. Jesse gently stopped Luke from feeding it, unwrapping the little thing carefully before turning it so it could lay on its other side before wrapping it back up again and getting the fawn started on the milk again.

Bo bit his lip a little as he watched her blush, too used to that reaction to be much bothered by it...though he had to admit he was surprised he wasn't blushing. He knew he wasn't because his cheeks seems to heat up when he did. There weren't many girls that could make him feel like he did around Rebecca...there was something different about her and yet he didn't know what it was...maybe it was the thrill of chasing something that he knew in reality he shouldn't really be chasing after..

Jesse nodded softly, smiling a little as he just watched the fawn.

Bo swallowed softly, looking back down at the ticket.

Jesse continued to hold the fawn's head up, gently encouraging it to drink by massaging its throat with his fingers. Soon the little fawn was sucking softly at the bottle, drinking the milk.

Bo slid out the car as they pulled to a stop, smiling to Rebecca as he sat on the hood of the General.

Jesse nodded, pleased that Bo was eating more. For a one year old, Bo was small for his age due to his premature birth and the long stay in the hospital. He had never had much of an appetite but by the looks of things recently that was changing. Sitting down with Luke again, he lifted the fawn's head and showed him how to feed the fawn so that it didn't get too much milk at once but got enough.

"Well yeah course but...but...Luke how...can you afford this?" Bo asked quietly, not that he wasn't appriciative but he couldn't enjoy going to a race knowing that he was enjoying when the money was needed for the farm.

*eyes widen as his jaw drops open a little, swallowing hard* Luke...h...how...

Jesse watched her, as she went to get Bo's bottle, just cooling down the fawn's and gesturing Luke over as he said to her. "Didn't you feed him not that long ago when he woke up?"

*carefully opens the box*

Bo continue to wail in Lavinia's arms, scared of Luke's yell but also hungry.

Bo instantly let go at the yell, his laughs quickly ceasing to be replaced by frightened wails.

lmao thanks MaryAnne and aint no way I could forget ya Daisy girl

*looks to him before looking back at the present in hs hand, slowly unwrapping it*
