DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 "See...I toldja..." said Luke proudly, picking up Bo again. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Lavinia nodded, taking Bo from Luke and hugging him."Your such a good boy arn;t ya huh...you clever boy..."Bo looked a bit startled at the sudden attention, blinking a little before grinning and burbling again. Lavinia smiled and handed Bo back to Luke before rushing to the door, calling out."Jesse! Jesse come quick!!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Jesse came bustling in. "What in tarnation..." he exclaimed as he came inside quickly surveying te room expecting to find broken cookie jars, peanut butter smeared on the wall, or worse still, Bo in yet another asthma attack. He found none of this however and looked from Lavinia to Luke holding Bo on his lap. "What's goin' on?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Lavinia grabbed his hand and pulled him into the living room, sitting next to Luke on the couch and getting Bo's attention again, him having been once more more interested in playing with Luke's shirt buttons, asked him softly."Bo...Bo whose this..."At this she pointed to Luke. Bo looked to Luke then looked back to Lavinia and Jesse, smiling before pointing to Luke himself and saying."Wuke..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Jesse grinned big. "Well I'll be..." He looked at Luke who wore a bigger smile than had been seen on his face for some time."I'm his first word..." said Luke with a mixture of pride and awe in his voice. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Lavinia smiled, looking to Jesse with tears in her eyes."He said his first word Jessie..."Bo however seemed completly oblivious to the feat he had achieved, once again being facinated with Luke's shirt buttons. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Jesse nodded tears in his own. The boy who doctors had said wouldn't live to be 6 months old had surpassed expectations and more. It was a big feat , though no one but Jesse and lavinia understood just how big.Luke hugged him close. "He must like me a lot, huh?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Bo hugged Luke back though his little arms didn't reach round Luke completly as Lavinia looked on with a smile, hugging Jesse. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 ****present****"But that wasn't the only time you surprised everybody..." said Luke reflectively. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Bo chuckled."Guess I was always a compulsive bundle of surprises then huh.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Luke nodded. "That' fer sure...like when ya learned to walk...though...you kinda surprised yerself too..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Bo frowned and looked to Luke once more."What d'ya mean?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 ****Flashback****Luke waved goodbye as Cooter's dad dropped him off at the farm. He had been gone for a whole weekend, and though he had had a good time, he was glad to be back to the farm."Unca Jesse...Auntie! I'm hoooome!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 However, the first voice he heard was not that of his Aunt or Uncle, it was the delighted shriek that came from the living room."Wuke!!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Luke looked over. "Hey Bo! Hang on while I take off my coat an stuff an I'll come see ya..." he said beginning the chore of taking off his back pack and boots and hanging up his coat. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Bo however was not one to wait, even back when he was a kid. Crawling into the kitchen, he saw Luke and squealed excitedly, grabbing onto the table and pulling himself to his feet, walking towards Luke."Wuke!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Luke turned just in time to see Bo walking towards him. "Bo?!" he asked in surprise. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Bo jumped as he heard Luke's part yell, whimpering and falling to the floor, eyes big and worried as he looked up at his older cousin. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Luke ran him picking him up and hugging him close. "Ya walked Bo...ya was walkin!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Bo's whimpering erupted into frightened wailing as Luke continued to talk in a louder voice, frightening him more.Lavinia hurried out from where she was doing the washing."Luke your back! Hey sweetie...c'mon Bo..."Carefully she took Bo from Luke's arms, rocking him gently. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Luke bit his lip. "I didn't mean t' scare him Auntie...he...he walked to me..." said Luke, more upset over making Bo cry than excited about what Bo had done now. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 "He what...he walked?!"Lavinia asked gently as she rocked Bo who was starting to settle down again. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Luke nodded a little. "I didn't mean t' scare him..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Lavinia shook her head, smiling a little as she rubbed Bo's back softly. The little boy was now just sniffling as he rested his head on his Auntie's shoulder, sucking on his thumb."It was probably more likely the shock of actually doin' it...you gotta remember Luke, that Bo aint never stood up before so he ain't been so high on his own...and I's guessin' he fell as well which he ain't done so its another shock...that's all. It probably wasn't really yer fault at all.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Luke nodded a little before his face brightened. "Oh...I forgot...I brung yas presents!" he exclaimed running to his backpack and digging in there to find his gifts. Quote
