DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share 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.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Bo didn't even look up at her, seemingly mesmirized by this animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share 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.
