*swallows hearing Bo start to wheeze* UNCLE JESSE!!!!!!! *holds Bo close to him*

*after a series of yells, minutes later Jesse arrives (carrying tired little Daisy)*

There ya are!!!! There ya are!!! My boys!!

*sets down Daisy and drops to his knees in tears hugging both his nephews together thinking this was the happiest he'd ever felt in his life*

*tears streaming down his cheeks holding Bo still refusing to look at his uncle knowing he was gonna be in trouble*

*coughed gently as Jesse hugged them, breathing wheezily as he whimpered out*

Unca...Jesse...

*reaches in breast pocket of his bib overalls*

Well the first thing we need to take care of is this here little fella

*Holds inhaler to Bo's mouth*

(I'm having computer problems so may not log in again until it's fixed. Hopefully it won't be more than a day or two)

*opens his mouth and lets Jesse put the inhaler in, breathing out as much as he could before breathing in deeply as Jesse puffed the medicine again, doing the same thing a second time before settling back against Luke again*

M'cold...

*holds him closer rubbing his small back to try and warm him up-truth was Luke was cold too but he didn't say so*

*hands his flashlight to Daisy so she has one in each hand*

And I have something else for you boys......

*reaches in back pockets and pulls out two ponchos, still folded up tightly in their original plastic packages*

*puts them on boys while Daisy shines both flashlights on them*

*teeth chattering not even wanting to release his hold long enough to put a poncho on him soon grabbing him and holding him tight to him once more*

*too weak, tired and cold to resist what anyone was doing to him, letting Luke snatch him back up soon as the ponchos were on*

*holds him close shivering*

Now listen kids, we'll figure this whole thing out when we git back ta the farm but fer now, y'all have ta be strong and do what I say.

*pulls Bo away from Luke and lifts him up then takes a flashlight from Daisy and tucks it under his arm, aiming it in front of him*

Now Luke, I want you ta follow me.......and Daisy, I want you behind Luke shining the flashlight on the ground so as ya don't trip on anything.

*whimpers as Bo was taken from him*

*whimpers a little too, though he liked being in Jesse's hold, he wanted Luke near him, He held out his hand for his older cousin to hold*

*reaches up taking Bo's hand*

*Walks through the dark woods feeling like the weight of the world had just been lifted from him...but also feeling a bit guilty since the kids were his responsibilty now. He was wondering to himself if he and Lavinia had taken on more than they could handle. The thought only crossed his mind for a second though. The love he had for the 3 kids soon took over, erasing any doubt about the decision he and Lavinia had made to accept Luke, Daisy and Bo.*

*tears dribble down his cheeks as he walks, mixing with the light rain*

*falls asleep against Jesse's shoulder, tired and weak, his hand still firmly clutching Luke's though as Daisy slipped her Luke tight into her older cousins other hand behind him*

*stays quiet holding his cousins hands all the way to the farm, letting go only when they reached the front porch*

*Opens front door and encounters a frantic Lavinia who hung the phone up as soon as the door opened. She sighs then says "Thank the Lord" as she grabs ahold of little Bo, pulling him from her husband's stong and loving grip. Her eyes begin to water*

*squirms uneasily as he sees the fearful look on his aunt's face, having had to let go of Bo's small hand as he was taken from Jesse.

Daisy: *had practically fallen asleep after the long walk and now, instead of holding Luke's hand, sat wornout beside him clutching to his leg and using it as a make shift pillow, closing her sleepy eyes*

*whimpers as he was pulled around, feeling his auntie's embrace around him again. Keeping his eyes closed he huddled into her softly, before looking round sleepily for his older cousin who he only just realized now had let go of his hand*

*shifts on his feet looking down, knowing he was in trouble for hiding...and taking Little Bo with him*

*turns to Lavinia*

I am so, so sorry that I didn't leave ya a note before we left. Bo and Luke got lost in the woods and I couldn't leave little Daisy by herself when I went ta go and find 'em"

La: *cuddling little Bo closer* Be a wonder if all three of em dont catch pneumonia!
