Bo managed to finagle Daisy's keys away from her- it was the only way to get him out of there, so she figured he could come pick her up after shift- and drove on back to the farmhouse with Jackie, where Luke was already having target practice alone.

"What the hell, Luke?" Bo demanded, hopping quickly out of the car.

"Scuse me?" Luke asked innocently.

"Bo, you watch your language!" Jesse scolded him.

Bo rolled his eyes; sometimes Jesse treated them like they were all still in middle school... But, respectful as he was, he just said, "Sorry, Unca Jess."

"We had to walk to the Boar's Nest and get Daisy's jeep to get home!" Jackie informed Luke.

"Oh, yeah." Luke sniggered. "Didn't figure you'd notice."

"We noticed... we have a problem?" Bo demanded.

"No, I was just bored of y'all two 'honeymooning' all over creation, so I figured y'all'd like some privacy."

"Well, ya can't just take the car and leave us stranded, Luke!" Bo huffed.

"You're right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Target practice?"

Bo shrugged, taking his outer shirt off, leaving him in just a blue undershirt. "Sure, sure..."

"I'm gonna go take a shower, honey; it's a million degrees out." Jackie said, blowing him a kiss.

Bo smiled. "Sure, g'head, Sug."

"So, we have dinner guests tonight." Jesse informed the boys. "Swamp Molly and Cousin Alice."

Bo pulled a face. "No..."

"Who're Swamp Molly and Cousin Alice?" Jackie wanted to know.

"Swamp Molly is one of Jesse's old flames." Luke smirked.

"You hesh that fresh talkin'!" Jesse scolded at Luke. "She's a nice lady who makes a good crawdad bisque... and Cousin Alice is her second cousin, who she raised from a babe."

"Her extremely large cousin..." Bo muttered.

Luke elbowed Bo, chuckling.

"Now, you two be nice. Alice likes you."

"Yes, I know." Bo nodded, looking pained. "She's always tryin' to 'rassle me."

Jackie's eyebrows knit slightly. "Really now?"

"Yeah," Bo said a bit cluelessly, "And attempting to make cookies, which I can't eat."

"Now, Bo, not quite fair; I've had those cookies," Luke interrupted. "They're kinda good."

"She always makes Pecan Sandies. I hate pecans. Nasty, sandy little bitter... dry..."

"Okay, okay..." Luke laughed.

"Bo, you're married now, I'm sure she can control herself." Jesse said, rolling his eyes.


Daisy was just starting the fried chicken when Swamp Molly and Cousin Alice showed up. Jackie, not being much of a cook, had been getting lessons from Daisy, and was standing with an apron over her blue flowered sleeveless cotton dress, something that had always looked cute on her.

"Bo!" Cousin Alice squealed, wrapping her arms around him.

Bo squirmed for a minute, and then slipped out of her iron grip. "Scuse me just a minute..." he said, dashing to the kitchen. He raced in, grabbing up Jackie by the waist.

"Bo, what-" Jackie began, but he just rushed her out to the front porch.

Daisy, confused, followed, and saw Bo plunk her down right in front of Cousin Alice and Swamp Molly, and hold up her wedding ring hand. "This is my wife, Jackie. See? My wife." he said a bit nervously.

Jackie waved shyly. "Hi..."

"Her?" Alice demanded. "But... look at those tinsy hips; I bet she couldn't even birth one baby for ya..."

"Cousin Alice!" Swamp Molly scolded, swatting her on the behind. "You behave yourself!"

One of Jackie's hands went to Bo's shirt, unconsciously wrapping her fist around the material, and his hand went to her abdomen protectively.

"Jackie, come on, you still have potatoes to peel for me." Daisy said, leading her back into the kitchen.

And, for the first time, Jackie felt grateful to be going into the kitchen to do some manual labor...
