Meanwhile Luke had found his way back to his uncle's house and sat down at the kitchen table. Uncle Jesse sat across from him watching him carefully. "How did you do it Uncle Jesse?" Luke asks. "Do what?" "Raise four little ones alone?" "For a while there I had your aunt." "But still...for most of the time you made it through with just yourself looking after us." "By the time it was just the five of us, you and Bo had both picked up jobs. Three incomes for part of it, made it easier. What's this about Luke?" "I can't do it." "The baby, plus Molly and Salena you fear you'll let them down." Uncle Jesse said. "I've always been able to do everything. I've never had to lean on anyone and now..." "That's why you said no. To Vidalia." "Four kids, three little ones and Salena's schooling next year. We won't make it through the first semester." "Have you told Lizzy this?" "Of course not...then I saw how unhappy Lizzy was when Daisy and Enos signed the forms I just...I lost it." "You threatened her." "Ever since we found out that Julie's father wasn't a Duke it's like everything's falling apart. I haven't felt this lost since Nam Uncle Jesse and I don't know what to do." Luke ran his hands through his hair and scratched his scalp. "I don't want to lose Julie or Lizzy or even Daisy but...This new baby, Vidalia, Brian's problems...I'm gonna lose her." "Only because you don't let her know what's going on. There we times I thought your Aunt and I would lose everything even with all I did to stop it but...she was a stubborn woman. When she saw me changing she got right up in my face and forced me to tell her what was going on. I think that saved our marriage more than anything. She wouldn't let me get away with anything." "I just...I'm so used to having all the answers, being able to think myself and others out of problems that when I don't have the answer..." "Answer me seriously Luke. Are you scared of becoming your father?" "My father?" Luke questions. "You see what's happening to Brian and I think you're honestly scared of setting a bad example for Vidalia and you think you won't be able to hack it like your father couldn't and you'll cause Lizzy pain." Uncle Jesse clarifies. "I guess that's part of it but...my bank account has been draining so fast with just Molly that I'm not sure it can sustain all five of us." "Your bank account? Have you even considered asking Lizzy how she stayed above the water without you?" "What do you mean?" "Lizzy's made it three months in Atlanta without you just her and Molly and obviously she didn't go bankrupt. Would you have a problem with her supporting you?" "It's not supposed to work like that." Luke says. "Just think about it Luke." Uncle Jesse says standing. "These times they are a changing and turn the light out when you're done." Cue anyone.
