B.L. Davenport Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Luke looks back in the rearview mirror seeing Daisy patiently talking to Jesse but it looked like Jesse was having none of it. "Don't look like she's having much luck at calming him down, and even if he calms down don't mean I ain't in for a switchin'."Shrugging Luke continues to drive on there was no use worrying about it Jesse would either switch him regardless or let it pass with a warning he'd just have to wait till they got home to find out. Either way it was worth it to see Bo smile the first real smile they'd seen in days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Bo chuckled and nodded, looking back to the front again. He might be able to get luke out of it when they got home, he usually could. Closing his eyes he enjoyed the rest of the ride with a contented smile on his face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Luke looked at Bo sitting beside him eyes closed with a contented look on his face and smiled. Turning back to the road it wasn't long before they were pulling onto Mill Pond road headed for home. A few minutes later they pulled into the yard with the General close behind Jesse having stopped ranting but he still looked displeased as he squeezed himself out of the window grumbling as his overall's got caught."It beats me why they welded perfectly working doors shut"Luke reached over nudging Bo slightly"Hey Bo we're home" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Bo stirred. not realising he had fallen asleep on the journey, smiling as he saw the farm he had missed for so many weeks after looking at nothing but the four walls of his hospital room.

B.L. Davenport Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Luke hopped out of the Jeep jogging around to the passenger side,taking Bo's arm to steady him. Once out of the Jeep they carefully made their way inside where Luke deposited Bo on the couch thinking he really should be in bed but knowing he'd want to stay up and just enjoy being home for a little bit probably.Jesse and Daisy came inside a few minutes later with Jesse giving Luke a hard look that made the younger man look down sheepishly.

BoJamesDuke Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Bo sighed and thanked Luke as he was put on the couch, smiling as he was able to sit and relax in his own living room by the gentle fire in the fireplace. He had missed this so much...there were no tubes or wires here, just the love of his family and the cosiness of the farm. When Jesse and Daisy entered, he looked up and hugged Daisy as she came over to help get him settled more, but not missing the look that Jesse gave Luke. Before anything could be said, he immidiatly jumped in."Uncle Jesse....don't be...mad at Luke...ain't fair to,...punish him....I asked him ta...go faster an'...at first he said no...but then I said somethin'...an' we stopped to talk...an' then we hd to catch up....please don't punish him Uncle Jesse....please..."He said desperatly, not wanting Luke to get in trouble because he had halped Bo to enjoy himself for the first time since the incident. He ended the speech with a harsh sounding cough, reaching for Luke blindly with his hand as he leant forward a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Luke reflexively moved closer rubbing Bo's back when he started to cough. That cough was worrying even though the doctor had said it wasn't serious it sounded as if it came straight from Bo's toes it was so harsh and deep."Easy Bo, slow deep breaths"Jesse frowned as Bo coughed all thoughts of punishing Luke for anything banished from him in his concern for Bo. He really couldn't be mad at Luke anyway he hadn't been driving that fast because Daisy had been going so slow herself it didn't take much speed to catch up and pass the General. Sighing relieved when the coughing fit started to subside a bit."Daisy would you get Bo a glass of water please?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bo breathed like Luke told him to, eventually managing to get the coughing fit under control. He really didn't understand where it had come from, seeing as he wasn't ill just bruised black and blue all over really.He looked up and accepted the water thankfully, but had to get Luke to help him drink it as his body was trembling so hard from the coughing fit that if he held the glass it would spill the water everywhere.

B.L. Davenport Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Luke sat the cup down on the coffee table when Bo was finished with the water. Still watching carefully to reassure himself that Bo was ok again after the coughing fit. Jesse sat on the other side of Bo anxiously only relaxing when the coughing fit subsided and his breathing returned to normal. Luke got to his feet looking out the window hearing a vehicle pull up into the yard, smiling as the Davenport cousin's Cooter and B.L. exited the tow truck and made their way toward the house."Who is it Luke?" Jesse asked from his place next to Bo on the couch."It's Cooter n' B.L."B.L. being the first in the door grinned seeing Bo looking almost back to normal the bruises still visible but not a strange sight because the boys were always getting into fights at the Boar's Nest. "Hey, how ya feelin' Bo?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJamesDuke Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Bo looked up as the two Davenports walked in and smiled, resting back against the couch, feeling imprisoned between the two people sitting beside him."I'm alright thanks....jus' plannin' a breakout...wanna help?"He said with a grin, gesturing to Jesse and Luke.

B.L. Davenport Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 The two Davenports laughed B.L. nodding "sure thing Bo it's been a while since we stanged an escape"Luke smiled at their banter he knew Bo was already feeling crowded and over protected. He'd have a word with Jesse later about giving Bo room to breathe, but he'd have to watch himself too so that he didn't over crowd Bo.

BoJamesDuke Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Bo smiled back at B.L., nodding"Great, we'll....work somethin' out...later..."Daisy watched from the other side of them room, smiling. It was good to have Bo so happy and back home again....but she knew that their biggest challenge was yet to come...and that was getting Bo to take the rest he needed.

B.L. Davenport Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 B.L. winks grinning it was so good to see Bo so much better than he'd been the last time she'd saw him, not having had a chance to get back to the hospital because she'd been working her shift as well as Daisy's at the Boar's Nest. "I'll have Cooter park the getaway vehicle close to the door" Cooter looked at Jesse and Luke then back at the two schemers shaking his head with a look of mock fear."Nuh uh I ain't gettin' in the middle of ya'lls scheme Uncle Jesse won't be inclined ta feed me nomore."Luke laughed then smirked at Bo and B.L. "Looks like ya'll are gonna hafta get another accomplice unless ya can win over Cooter's stomach." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L. Davenport Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 "Aww we'll think of somethin' else Bo doncha worry I'll break ya out"B.L. said giving him a look of sympathy with an impish grin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.

B.L. Davenport Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 "no problem"They answered in unison, B.L. giving Luke a questioning look about Bo's apparent shortness of breath still only to get a headshake in reply saying he'd tell her later. B.L. nodded as Cooter gave them an bewildered look not catching onto the meaning of the silent exchange between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Bo smiled, looking down but catching the silent messages going on between one another. Shaking his head slightly, he smiled wider before feeling another cough coming up, but not wanting to be babied so much again over it, he took the glass of water and swallowed some down to stop it before saying, slightly wheezy."I'm a bit tired...so I'm gonna...go to bed fer a while....if that's okay with y'all..."

B.L. Davenport Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 "Don't mind at all Bo ya just get well darlin'"B.L. leaned over and kissed the top of his head before Jesse and Luke both stood helping Bo to his feet and then guiding him down the hall to his and Luke's room. Cooter called down the hall to him, grinning. "Take it easy greasy"A few minutes later they both returned to the livingroom Jesse taking a seat in his favorite chair while Luke perched on the couch once again."He ok?"B.L. asked worriedly"Yeah he's ok just tired like he said is all don't worry he'll be fine.Luke answered and smiled sheepishly as the two Davenports gave him identical raised eyebrow looks that said your tellin' us not to worry and your worried out of your mind.

BoJamesDuke Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Bo smiled to B.L. and Cooter, waving a little as he was helped down the hall, despite his protests that he could walk there himself just fine and he wasn't blind he didn't need to be guided. He didn't mean to be hard work it was just he wanted to get back to his life before all this had happened and having Luke and Jesse fawn over him so much was really really frustrating....at least Daisy seemed to be taking a back seat to it all. She understood how much he hated being babied...Daisy smiled to all of them, sitting beside Luke before saying."Luke's worried because Bo has a harsh sounding cough even though the doc's told him a million times over that its perfectly normal and he'll be just fine."

B.L. Davenport Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Jesse excused himself to let the 'kids' talk while he got started on supper. B.L. and Cooter both shaking their heads at Luke's over protectiveness of Bo and the fact that it was ten times worse when Bo was sick or hurt. Luke just shrugged at them all looking sheepish."I can't help it ever'time he starts coughing like that it takes his breath away. Sounds awful, worse than any cough I's ever heard before. I'm tryin' not to be a mother hen but it ain't easy."B.L. nodded smiling having sympathy with both points of view but more so with Bo because Cooter did her the same way Luke was doing Bo and it drove her nuts.

BoJamesDuke Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Daisy nodded and hugged Luke close."Yeah I know....but until the Doc says that its serious you aint got no cause to worry and ya know Bo hates it when ya do anyhow."
