BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Jesse put Luke back to bed and tucked him in again."Luke you are staying in here and you are going to nap properly otherwise I will take that fawn to Farmer Jensen and let him look after it, you understand?!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 "But Bo's up..." objected the little brunette. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 "Bo has had a sufficiant nap time. You have barely had ten minutes."Jesse countered back."That little animal needs to sleep and it ain't gonna get it if yer around talkin' an' botherin' it all the time.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 "But Unca Jesse..." countered Luke. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 "No ifs, ands or buts about it Lukas and I mean it. Now you stay in this bed or I will take that fawn to Farmer Jensen..."Jesse said firmly with a tone that told Luke that was where the discussion ended. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Two large tears dropped from Luke's eyes but he said nothing more. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Jesse wiped them away softly, running his hand through Luke's hair gently."Now you get some sleep...me an' yer Aunt are watching the fawn....we'll come get ya if it needs somethin'." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Luke sniffed quietly nodding a little. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 "Good Boy...I love ya Luke..."Jesse said softly, kissing his forehead. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Luke reached his arms out to his uncle. The fact that he was initiating a hug showing how much this little fawn had gotten to his heart. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Jesse sighed softly and hugged him back, rocking him just a little as he held him close. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Luke just cuddled into his uncle, falling asleep against him. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo meanwhile, sensing that he was not being watched with full attention, had crept into the kitchen and was sitting by the fawn again, watching it sleep. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Lavinia, having missed Bo from where he was playing, had a pretty good idea where to find him walked over and watched him sitting beside the fawn. "Bo...didn't I tell ya t stay away from the poor thing?" she asked softly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo didn't even look up at her, seemingly mesmirized by this animal. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Lavinia smiled sitting down beside Bo watching the animal too. "I guess we can stay here and watch it a bit." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo looked to her as she sat down beside him and crawled into her lap, cuddling up and sucking his thumb gently. He could sense something was wrong, though he didn't know or understand what. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Lavinia rocked little Bo in her arms as she held him, thinking to herself that there were many similarities between the baby boy in her arms and the baby deer laying on the floor. Both were orphaned far too young, both had the odds against them, Bo with his asthma and the fawn with it's injury and blood loss... and both had won over Luke's heart. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo eventually leaned over tentivly forward and rested a hand on the fawn's small neck. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 "You be gentle Bo...it's sick..." warned Lavinia. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo continued to suck on one thumb while his other hand rested softly on the fawn before stroking it just a little bit. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Lavinia just watched him close, in case he got too rough accidentally.The little fawn blinked its long-lashed eyes wearily before falling back to sleep. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Bo eventually turned away from it and crawled back to play with his toys. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 An hour later Luke woke from his nap and returned to the fawn. "Hi...I'm back," he whispered gently. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 The fawn opened its eyes a little at the noise, blinking softly before closing them again. Quote
