B.L. Davenport

"Yes sir" Luke nodded at Jesse's words knowing that they were a gentle warning to him as well. To some Jesse might seem gruff when reprimanding his 'kids' but those who knew him best knew there was nothing in the world he wouldn't do for them. This not only included the three young cousin's he'd raised but the Davenport cousin's as well. They might be named Davenport but to Jesse they were just as much Duke as his own three and himself. Jesse watched Bo from the window for a few moments before looking back out the window it was a relief to see his youngest on the mend although it was still going to be a long road to full recovery.

Luke continued to sit by Bo holding his hand and stroking his hair humming for several minutes until he was absolutely positive Bo was sleeping soundly. Then he moved over to look out the window, wishing he and Bo could be out tearing around in the General instead of being stuck in a hospital room. Jesse stood next to him quietly gazing out the window. Luke looked over wanting to make sure Jesse wasn't really mad at Bo for B.L.'s earlier revelation. "Uncle Jesse?....." "hmmm......" "Bo ain't turnin' into an alchoholic B.L. was only teasing him he don't really drink that much none of us do. Shoot she even drinks more than she can carry out sometimes but it's nothin' ta worry about. You've taught us all to be responsible drinker's and we are." Jesse nodded reguarding Luke before answering softly "I know son....I just wanted to make sure Bo knew I wasn't gonna stand fer no over indulging on a regular basis."

Luke gently put his arms around Bo hugging him as tightly as possible without hurting him. What Bo had said made alot of sense and he was right Luke himself just had to accept it. After a few minutes Luke gently eased Bo back onto the bed pulling the cover up around him smiling. "Ya need to get some rest Bo." Jesse had sat and watched his boys with a warm smile on his face it was a wonderful sight to see when the youngest took on the roll as counsil and helped the oldest to understand something and deal with it without blaming himself.

Luke rubs his face tiredly realizing how bad his hand was shaking. "I don't know Bo I just feel like I coulda done more ta spare ya bein' so hurt. I coulda took the time to take ya with me....Uncle Jesse told me I did the right thing but I just can't help feelin' that I didn't." B.L. nods smiling "Then we'll sit here a while 'til yer ready to go back, there's no rush Bo's doin' ok and Luke and Uncle Jesse are with 'im."

I've read it once before and I still love it, absolutely one of the best stories I've ever read

Luke shook his head smiling at Bo giving his hand a pat. The worried frown on Bo's face causing him to raise his eyebrows questioningly. Answering quietly "nothin' Bo" B.L. and Daisy had decided to sit at one of the tables in the cafeteria and have some lunch while they waited for time to pass and things to calm down in Bo's room. Nibbling on a cookie B.L. asked Daisy, "Ya think it's safe to go back now?"

Luke looks at Jesse then back at Bo shrugging "I think he's gonna make ya sweat looks like he's willin' to drop it fer now"

Luke thought for a few moments then looked at Bo shaking his head, he had some cards in his pocket he'd bought in the gift shop but now might not be the best time to play cards with Jesse being in the mood he was in. He whispered "I got some cards from the gift shop thought me, you, Daisy and B.L. might play but better wait till Uncle Jesse looks in a better mood."

*pulls Daisy to her feet putting an arm around the other girl's waist as they walked to the elevators and rode down to the cafeteria*

B.L. nods "Yeah...Jesse won't know a thing though as long as we can keep him from asking questions. I sure as heck ain't gonna tell him. Ya ready to go see if the fellas are still in the land of the livin' after we deserted 'em." Stands brushing off the seat of her jeans hand extended down to Daisy still sittting in the floor. Jesse moved over to the window and sat down leaving the boys to wonder if he was still upset. Luke looked at Bo and wiped a hand surpetitiously across his forehead whispering. "phew that was close I thought we were in for it big time"

B.L. nods remembering some of those instances "yeah...I hope Uncle Jesse's not too hard on him. It's not like it's every weekend he gets drunk just once in a while." Jesse relaxed his features giving a nod satisfied he'd made his point. Wondering just where the girls had got to and what their hurry to leave had been.

B.L. shakes her head now fully recovered. "No we shouldn't I don't even know why it was so funny. Guess it was just one of those things that strikes ya funny and then later you have no idea why you found it so funny." Jesse reguarded the two now sobered young men taking a deep breath he spoke in an even calm voice. "I don't know what you've been upto exactly young man but it's going to stop! I don't mind you kids drinkin' a little now and then but I ain't gonna have none of ya becomin' drunks! Is that understood?" Jesse stared at both of them waiting for an answer. Luke nodded contritely looking Jesse straight in the eye "yes sir"

Jesse continued to glare at the two remaining 'kids' he really couldn't be mad at them as long as the behavior wasn't a habit, they were young and entitled to a little fun but he didn't want any of them to know he wasn't really and truly mad about it or they'd think he was condoning the behavior which he wasn't. B.L. leaned against the wall weak with laughter, finally able to control it with just a few giggles escaping. Chest heaving as she tried to get her breath back. "P....poor Bo.........he's gonna be in......so much trouble....I didn't mean for that to slip out."
