BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Jesse nodded with a smile"That I did..."Bo smiled as he looked at the Aunt and Uncle he had never got the chance to know, seeing how much Luke looked like his father. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Luke noticed it too. Especially now, that he was closer to the age his father had been. He bit his lip realizing forthe first time, how hard it must have been on Jesse to raise a boy who was a constant reminder of the brother he lost. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Jesse sighed softly as he remembered the day the picture had captuered, happily but also with a little sadness that Luke's folks couldn't see what a great man Luke had grown up to be. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 ****Flashback****Luke lay amongst the blankets crying at the top of his lungs."Well...his lungs work," said Lavinia with a smile to her sister-in-law who held the baby close to her, trying to quiet him. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca looked over with a small, tired smile to Lavinia, nodding softly."Yeah they sure do..."Jesse smiled too as he finished clearing up, leaving the room to wash his hands, smiling as he saw Kevin making proud telephone calls to all of his brothers and friends. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 "S'a fine lookin' boy you got there Rebecca..." said Lavinia softly.As if Luke kew he was the subject of the conversation he quieted, his hands clutching the blanket tightly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca nodded as she looked over her newborn son again, running a hand through the dark curls that already adorned his tiny head, rocking him gently in her arms as she moved to stroke the tiny fists that clutched the blankets he was wrapped in."He's gonna look just like his dad when he's older...though hopefully he'll have a bit more common sense..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Thunder boomed outside and as if on cue Luke whimpered a little."He knows he don't like thunder," put in Lavinia. Kevin's voice could be heard from the other room yelling, " I'm a daddy!"Lavinia chuckled. "Guess we know where he gets his mouth from...." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca chuckled a little, nodding and soothing Luke softly."I don't think he doesn't like the thunder...its just not somethin' he's used to is all...otherwise he'd be back to screamin' again..."Jesse shook his head as he went to Kevin, tapping his shoulder."Your wife's just got your son to stop his cryin', unless you wanna be the one to try it next i'd keep it down..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Kevin smiled. "Got a lot to learn I guess...but I can't help it...did you see him?! He's beautiful!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Jesse chuckled a little, nodding."That he is but still, Rebecca's tired and the last thing she needs at the moment is the baby woken every ten seconds." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Kevin nodded. "I still can't believe it. That's my baby...my son..."Luke, meanwhile, had quieted at soothing sound of his mother's voice. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Jesse smiled and patted his shoulder"Congratulations.."Rebecca smiled and just watched her baby boy, before looking to Lavinia."You got any ideas for names? I'm completly stuck since they told us they thought Luke was a girl..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Lavinia looked at the baby. "Well...I suppose you could always name him after his father...though one Kevin is enough for any family..." she added teasingly so her younger brother-in-law could hear."Hey now..." said Kevin smiling. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca nodded with a giggle"Got that right....though it would make a nice middle name..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Lavinia nodded. " Something Kevin Duke...hmmm...." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca bit her lip as she looked over her son once more, unable to tear her eyes away from the little thing who had just 24 hours ago still been living inside her. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Kevin stood behind her looking at them too, his jaw dropping when Luke opened his eyes staring up at them with wonder of his own. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca smiled and stroked a finger down the little cheek, whispering softly."Well hey there baby...see when ya don't cry ya can look at us...though your daddy may not be such a pretty sight..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Kevin smirked. "Ha ha. Your mama is very funny isn't she?" he asked the baby.Luke just looked at him clenching and unclenching the blanket in his hand. Lavinia at that moment came in with a camera. "Smile!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Rebecca looked up with a soft smile, moving Luke just a little so he was cuddled more but the camera could get a better shot of him, leaning into Kevin tiredly. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Kevin smiled proudly over his wife and little boy as Lavinia snapped the picture."Well this little guy needs a name," he said looking again to his son. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Posted January 26, 2008 Rebecca nodded softly biting her lip a little as she tried to think of a suitable one to go with Kevin. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Kevin looked quietly at the little baby for a long time. "He's so little...." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Posted January 26, 2008 Rebecca just nodded again, pausing a moment before looking up at Kevin."What about Lukas..." Quote
