DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Luke was taken aback and stood in shock. An overwhelming feeling of love surged inside of him. Guessing that that was what most parents feel the first time they hear their child say Momma or Dadda, he nodded his voice a little choked. "Alright then...daughter."

BoJamesDuke Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Jaime smiled tearily as he did, feeling for the first time in her life, safe and content with where she was and who she was with. She didn't feel threatened or trapped, here she felt free and loved. She didn't know why it was that fate had led her to Luke that day, or why things had turned out the way they had. All she knew was, she was happy now and all the 'Why is it's' she had had before had been wiped away.As had Bo's....he was more content with the way Luke felt now and accepted the fact that no matter how much trouble he would get them into, Luke would never feel differently about him or spending time with him. Things were looking up, and a new era in the Duke family was about to begin.. But friends...that's another tale...for another time...y'all come back now ya here...and be sure to post on the Why is it feedback thread to post your comments on this here story and any ideas you'd like to see in the next installment. Keep it 'tween the ditches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
