*~*~*~*~*


Bo frowned as he walked into the kitchen.

"Problem Bo?" Uncle Jesse asked seeing him.

"Luke's not in our room."

"Oh, he's out in the barn."

"Why?" Bo asked getting worried.

"He just wanted to get outside for a while."

Bo just went out to find him petting and talking to a horse.

"Where did. . . he come from?" Bo asked checking.

"I brought him over. Thought it'd help," Daisy said walking in.

"Help?" Bo asked with a frown.

"I'm feelin restless, and I can't do much," Luke said turning to look at him.

"Wow your gettin big luv," Bo said with a smile moving over.

"You mean I'm gettin fat," Luke said pouting to turn and scratch the horse behind an ear.

"Luv, your not gettin fat. I just meant that our son is just gettin big that's all," Bo said slowly moving over to tenderly caress Luke's back.

"You sure about that?"

"Yes. I love you Luke."

"Thanks Bo, and I love you," Luke said giving him a small smile.

"So who's horse?"

"A new family moved in a few days ago at the old Millers. They needed someone to look after old Tom here, and I said we'd gladly help them out."

"Ah. So for how long?"

"Just six weeks."

"Shouldn't you be sittin luv?" Bo asked thinking of Luke's back and the baby.

"Yeah think so," Luke said and let out a sigh as Daisy moved a tall stool over and he sat down.

"Can you stay with them so I can get the chores done?"

"Sure."

Bo just grinned to run out to do the chores.

Four hours later he went in to find Daisy sitting at Luke's side holding his hand while he lay on some of the bales of hay.

"Luke?!" Bo asked getting very worried rushing to his side.

"It's ok Bo, just the baby kicking hard," Luke said frowning as he rubbed his belly.

"Oh. Got me all worked up worryin," Bo said moving to sit next to him.

He then rubbed his belly to get a sigh from him as the baby finally calmed down.

"That's much better," Luke said to smile.

"Good. Maybe you should go inside for a while?"

"Sure."

Bo just helped him to his feet and inside. Just as they got to the door they heard a truck pull up, and Daisy going out to stall whoever it was.

"Hay Cooter, what ya doin out here for?" She asked hoping to block Luke from his view.

"Well, haven't seen the boys for a while and got worried. Are they ok?" He asked with a frown.

"Oh yeah their fine. Just got busy around the farm."

Cooter frowned he could swear that Luke looked a little odd that and having Bo helping him made him wonder.

"You sure about that Daisy, I mean why was Bo helpin Luke in then?"

"Oh well, he. . ."

"And no lies darlin," he said giving her a look.

"Come on in then," she said and they went in to the kitchen.

"Hay Uncle Jesse."

"Cooter, how's it goin for ya?"

"Fine. Where are the boys?"

"Ah! BO!" Luke yelled.

"That's it," Cooter said and rushed into their room to find Luke laying on his back on his bed with a huge belly while holding onto Bo's hand looking to be in a lot of pain.

"Daisy, go get doc hurry!" Bo said looking worried.

"Right!" She said to run out.

"What's goin on?" Cooter asked rushing to Luke's side.

"Luke, it's too early. He ain't ready to be born," Bo said.

"Guess he is ready Bo. . . He wants out and now!"

"Are you sayin that your pregnant?!" Cooter asked shocked.

"Eight months today."

Bo just started to gently rub Luke's belly.

Ten minutes later Doc rushed in and to Luke's side.

"Ok let's get you to the hospital."

"But isn't it too early?" Bo asked.

"Not always Bo. Don't worry."

"I'll try not to."

~ ~ ~ Two hours later. . .

"Well?" Uncle Jesse asked Daisy as he and Cooter got there.

"Their both doin just fine," she said with a smile.

"So what did he have?" Cooter asked.

"A boy."

"And what did they name him?" Uncle Jesse asked.
