Chapter 5: Tellin' Jesse

Becky arrived at the Duke's at 6:30, dressed for work in her short shorts and tank top, similar to Daisy's. Bo walked over to her quickly, kissing her on the cheek. "Well?" he said softly.

"I've got two weeks," she replied sadly, wiping her eyes.

"Two weeks?"

"To get out of my house. My dad told me to leave."

"Oh, my Lord," Bo said, hugging her.

"I don't know what to do, Bo. I can't afford to get my own place. You don't make that kind of money working at the Boar's Nest."

"Well, we'll think of somethin'."

"We better," she replied.

"We gonna tell Jesse?" Bo asked.

"Tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Uh-huh. Uncle Jesse'll figure somethin' out."

The two of them went inside together, preparing to face the storm.

For those of you who don't know Jesse Duke... this here ain't gon' be perty.

Things in the Duke home were so calm that Bo didn't want to disturb them. But he had to.

Jesse looked up from his paper at his nephew, and Becky, who were standing before him, hand in hand. "Uncle Jesse," Bo said quietly. "Can we talk to you?"

"Sure," Jesse said. "Sit down."

Bo sat down with Becky at his side. "Uncle Jesse... Me and Becky... We... We gotta..."

There's another sign things just ain't right. You ever seen Bo have that much trouble talkin'?

Jesse's wise eyes rested on Bo. "Go on, Bo."

"Me and Becky..." he couldn't get the words out.

He looked helplessly at Becky, who spoke, her voice strong. "Uncle Jesse, Bo and I are having a baby."

"Beauregard Jackson Duke!" Jesse said angrily. "Tell me I heard her wrong."

Boy, Bo wishes he could.

"I can't, Uncle Jesse. I can't."

"Bo..." Jesse said, unable to put into words the disappointment he felt.

Bo knew that as soon as Becky left, he was in big trouble with Jesse. Probably in more trouble than he had ever been in. Because this wasn't the kind of trouble that was just going to end. This was trouble that was going to follow him for the rest of his life.

Daisy walked into the room and saw how red Jesse's face was. She, wisely, said nothing about it, but she knew what had happened. She looked at Bo and Becky. They were holding hands, and a lone tear was running down Becky's cheek.

"Rebecca, honey," Daisy said softly. "It's time to go to work."

Becky nodded, squeezing Bo's hand. "I love you," she whispered.

"Love you, too," Bo said with a nod.

She stood up and walked out with Daisy. "So what happened?" Daisy asked as the two girls reached the Roadrunner.

"Uncle Jesse's gonna kill Bo..." Becky said. "It's all my fault."

"Honey, it's not your fault. Believe me."

Becky shook her head. "It's my fault. I could have done something."

"Honey, you couldn't have done anything. Don't worry about Bo."

"But Daisy..."

"Just calm down. We've got to get to work. And I'm more worried about you than Bo."

"Why?"

"Honey, just get in the car. Bo's not the one who has to be pregnant and have that baby."

Becky climbed into the car on the passenger's side. Daisy slid into the driver's seat, and the two of them left.

Becky was so worried about Bo she couldn't stand it.

"Bo Duke, I am aweful disappointed in you," Jesse said shaking his old white head.

Ol' Jesse has a way of sayin' things that just let's ya know he means 'em.

"I know, Uncle Jesse," Bo said, his shame in the tone of his voice.

"Just what do you figure on doin', Bo?" Jesse asked.

"I... I don't know exactly, Uncle Jesse... I... I reckon I'll have to... Well, I'm gonna marry her," Bo said. There was firm Duke determination in his voice. "I'm going to take care of her."

"Good," Jesse said.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Jesse," Bo said. He was scared. He thought he was past being scared, but then, he'd seen Jesse's face, and he was scared all over again.

"Bo, you made one heck of a mistake. But I'm proud of you for being willin' to do your part to take care of the girl and the baby. But, Bo, I'm not proud of what you and Rebecca did."

"Neither am I, Uncle Jesse," Bo said, hanging his head in shame.

Becky was working extra hard at the Boar's Nest. But her mind was elsewhere. And Daisy knew it.

As soon as she got the chance, Daisy walked over to Becky. "Honey," Daisy said softly.

"Yeah?" Becky replied, in the middle of whiping down a table.

"What's wrong? It ain't just worrying about Bo."

"No. It's not."

"Well, what is it?"

"Daisy, my daddy told me I had 2 weeks to be out of the house. And I ain't got nowhere to go."

"Well, sure ya do! We'll talk to Uncle Jesse. I'm sure he'll figure somethin' out."

Becky checked her watch. 10:30. And her shift wasn't over until midnight.

You ever had one of them days where you keep lookin' at your watch like it was a lover's face?
