Luke smiled a little running a finger down her cheek.

Jenni pulled back softly, resting her forehead against his with a smile.

"I love you..."

"I love you too darlin," said Luke gently,

Jenni couldn't help but smile wider at that and gently kissed the tip of his nose before pulling away slightly.

"You need to rest..."

Luke frowned."I aint tired."

"Your stressed...an' that's probably also down to a lack of rest as well as what's goin' on around you which has probably caused said lack of rest...'sides the darkening circles under those beautiful blue eyes tell a different story..."

Jenni replied in a firm but gentle tone, running a hand down the side of his face softly.

Luke kissed her hand gently knowing better than to argue with her.

Jenni then helped him lay down properly and put Luke's foot in a better position on the pillow that would be more comfortable to sleep with before covering him up.

"There...now I got other patients I gotta get to...but i'll be back maybe tomorrow or the next day, I aint sure yet...you rest up real good an' i'll know if you aint been cause Jaime'll tell me..."

"Can't ya stay?" asked Luke in a wheedlesome tone.

Jenni chuckled

"Believe me I wish I could...it'd be much more interesting and fun....but I still got a job to do..."

Luke sighed but nodded a llittle resting his head back against his pillow.

Jenni smiled and gently ran a hand through his hair, kissing him softly before standing up and leaving, waving goodbye to Jaime who was still on the phone.

Luke watched her go a heaviness in his heart as she left.

Jaime soon said goodbye to her boyfriend and headed in to see Luke once more.

"Daddy....when Aunt Daisy comes back would it be okay if I go out for a while?"

"Go where?" he asked quietly.

"Out with Jason around town..."

She answered casually.

"Where in town...what time will ya be back?" asked Luke not at all prepared to have a daughter of dating age.

Inwardly, Jaime sighed hard at her father's questioning but didn't show it on the outside as she leant casually on the doorframe.

"Going into Hazzard Square, then maybe down to see the lake. I'll be back before curfew..."

Luke nodded. "Alright...you be careful...an' if he tries anything, let him have it."

Jaime smiled and crossed over to her father, giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Promise I will...oh and by the way...have a shave, your all stubbly..."

Luke frowned and feeling his unshaven face nodded. "Bye darlin..."

Jaime smiled and looked out the window, seeing Daisy's jeep pull up, and waving to her father as she hurried out the door to grab her bicycle and head into town.

Luke watched her go with a sigh, looking at his foot with disgust. He longed to get up and move around, too upset with things to sleep as Jenni had asked him to. Too many things were going on...things beyond his control...he longed to talk to his uncle and tell him his troubles but he didnt dare...the last thing he needed was more things to worry about. With a long sigh he stared up at the ceiling and started counting tiles, one by one.

****Later that Night****

Bo walked into the kitchen, whistling happily as he shut the door behind him and going straight to the refridgerator for some lemonade and something to eat. He had been too busy getting everything sorted with Troy and finding out about Uncle Jesse to eat anything but now things were better, he was starving.

Luke, meanwhile, was resting against his pillows when he heard the front door open. Once he heard the refridgerator creak open, he knew instantly it was Bo.
