Home Again
"You two ok?" Daisy asked as she saw them in the lobby fifteen minutes later.
"Yeah. Cracked some ribs. Bo has a severe concussion, he hit his head hard on the tool box. Plus he had to get several stitches. You know, his usual." Bo grinned, he knew Luke was right about that. As they were driving home, Luke told Daisy what had happened. While Luke was talking, Bo laid his head on Luke's right shoulder and fell asleep. When lightning struck it woke up Bo and he panicked; he never did like storms. He grabbed Luke's wrist, and looked around breathing heavily.
"Bo, it's ok." Luke reassured him. "You're safe." Luke could see the confussion in Bo's eyes, and wondered just how hard he hit his head. The last concussion he had wasn't as severe, so he was fine after about a day's rest.
"Sorry." Bo told him as he looked down at Luke's wrist. Luke nodded than held Bo's hand. When they got home Daisy helped Luke walk Bo into the house: because Bo was so dizzy.
"Ya wanta go onto bed?" asked Daisy. Bo shook his head as he walked towards the couch. He was having a hard time breathing so Daisy went and got his inhaler.
"Luke." She gave him the inhaler, and Luke helped Bo take it several times.
"You ok?" Luke asked him.
"Yeah." Bo replied as he leaned back and rested his eyes. A couple hours later and with much persuasion from Luke, Bo went to bed. Luke got himself ready for bed and laid down next to him. Bo woke up several times that night having a hard time breathing. The last time it was to go to the bathroom to get sick. He ended up napping on the floor with Luke sitting next to him. Neither one got much sleep. In the morning Daisy called Cooter and told him what happened and asked him for his help with the morning chores. They let Luke sleep; seeing that he spent most of the night watching over Bo. Luke woke up about ten, after he checked on Bo he went to find Daisy.
"Hi suga, you ok?"
"Yeah, Bo's still sleepin'." Daisy nodded
"I know you two had a rough night, so Cooter came over. The chores are done. I also called Coy, he's comin' over to help for several days." When she saw that Luke was going to object she added. "Now Luke don't argue, your ribs need to heal and Bo's in no shape to help." Luke held up his hands in surrender.
"I know, I ain't objectin' to help." Daisy nodded then went about to make Luke something to eat. Around 10:30 Jesse came home.
"Why is it that I can't leave ya two boys home alone for more than a couple hours, without ya findin' trouble?"
"At least we ain't in jail this time."
"AIN'T IN JAIL THIS TIME?" Jesse yelled.
"Jesse! Bo's still sleepin'."
"Sleepin? Why ain't that boy in the hospital? He ain't in no condition to have a say in it." He asked Daisy.
"And you Luke." Jesse pointed his finger at him. "You always give in to him, now what happened that you ain't told me boy?"
Luke sighed, "he has a severe concussion, I have to check on him every hour. He had a bad night is all." When Luke didn't explain Jesse replied, "Luke?"
"He refused to stay in the hospital, so Doc Applebe released him AMA into my care." That statement did not sit well with Jesse.
"Now that's what I mean, you're always givin' into him. He should be in that hospital Lukas and..."
Luke at this point stood up fast, tipping the chair over. Daisy caught it before it hit the floor.
"Now hold on Jesse! You know the reason Bo hates the hospital. He may not remember what happened anymore, but there's still that fear. For that matter I don't even remember what the hell happened that night, but I wasn't about to leave him there. That other Doctor put wrist restraints on him so he wouldn't leave. So as far as me always givin' in to him, I always have so I reckon I ain't about to change now." Luke looked at the clock. "I best be checkin' on him." Luke turned and left for their bedroom. Daisy knew that Luke was always protective of Bo. She just never seen it to this extreme. Jesse stood there speechless, Luke hadn't back talked him in years.
"What's gotten into that boy?" Jesse asked Daisy, as he watched Luke walk to their room.
"He's tired, neither one of them got descent sleep last night. They spent most of the night in the bathroom cause Bo's asthma medicine caused him to get sick."
"His asthma actin' up again?" Daisy nodded, than told him about Coy coming over later in the day to help for a week or more; until Bo was feeling better.
