*nods* Probably...

*laughs and shakes his head* You mean instead of going to the Boar's Nest and getting all the girls...

Lavinia watched them all with a slightly saddened smile, praying desperatly for the lord to let them keep their little boy.

Like what?

*smiles a little* Thanks buddy...and yeah we fight...we dont fight all the time though...contray to what Daisy and Jesse say."

*sighs* "I don't know...ain't what I wanted t'do on my birthday that's fer sure...fight with Luke..."

Better than being old like you...

*snorts* Yeah right, you been sleepin' you grandpa...

*shrugs* "Well it has something t'do with me being upset this mornin'...I don't even know what he's talkin' about. I wasn't upset this mornin'."

Bo moved inside the blanket's a little, moving his tongue inside his mouth as he kept looking up at Luke.

*shrugs a little, putting his beer mug down on the table and running his finger around the rim* Just Luke bein' a jerk is all...he's been in a bad mood since this mornin' an' he keeps snappin' at me...ain't what I wanna particularly endure t'day."

James looked down at Luke with a sigh, shaking his head "Guess we gotta call him Beauregard now..." The baby softly blinked his blue eyes open at all the noise around him, gripping Luke's finger a little tighter as he stared up at the new face above him.

*nods and sits down at the table with a sigh, drinking a little from his beer mug*

James frowned a little, crinkling his nose. "Well Polly likes the name Beauregard anyway..." Lavinia chuckled a little, hugging Jesse as he came back in the room after having cleared everything away.

James shook his head a little, shrugging softly. "We don't exactly know yet...we know his middle name's gonna...be James though..." He said with a proud smile to his wife who had suggested it long ago when Luke had been born and taken on his dad's name as his middle name.

The hand softly opened under Luke's touches, closing up again around his finger tightly. He may have been small and quite sickly but his grip was strong enough.

James smiled a little and headed over, picking Luke up and sitting beside Polly on the bed, helps him to see his little cousin. The baby was wrapped up snug and warm, his tiny hands bunched up by his face as he slept. Everything about him seemed to be in miniture and it was plain to see that he was having trouble breathing from the even smaller breaths he was taking.

Lavinia led him in quietly, signalling him to be very quiet as they did, smiling softly to Polly and James, Polly holding a tiny bundle in her arms. "Hey there...got someone who wants to meet his cousin..."

Lavinia nodded and held her hand out to Luke. "C'mon then..."

Lavinia bit her lip softly, looking to Rebecca and Kevin. She didn't know if it would be best for Luke to see the baby, get attached and then be heart broken if something bad happened...but then again this might be the only chance he got to see his cousin.

Lavinia nodded softly with a sigh. "We dont wanna move em yet...he's holdin' his own right now but if he gets much worse we're gonna have ta..."

Lavinia leaned on the wall, tired herself as Jesse was from the long and difficult labour. It was bad enough that the baby was born several months early, but complications had arisen too that had nearly meant a death instead of a birth. "The little thing's so small. He can just about breathe on his own but where he's so weak its hard for him...he was barely breathing when he was delievered...and Polly's exhausted and worried..."

Lavinia looked to Luke and nodded softy. "Yeah...he is..."

Lavinia sighed softly "Well mother's exhausted...and baby's havin' a bit of trouble breathing...we might have to move him to the hospital.."

Lavinia smiled as she came out the bedroom to where a now 4 year old Luke, Kevin and Rebecca were. "Well he's here..."
