Disclaimer: I do not own Dukes of Hazzard. I am extremely sorry for the holdup... but nobody was able to think up ideas, so I was stuck for a loooong time. Also I am thinking as I type and I have no hard copy for this. (Do not try this at home...lol.) I am trying to write another Buffy fic, so if you guys review my other one, it would help get the creative juices flowing.
Winter in Georgia:
Chapter Four
Luke woke up to a pair of blue eyes staring at him. Startled, he jumped and fell off the bed. The owner of the blue eyes burst out laughing, but dissolved into coughs. Luke sobered instantly, concerned for his cousin. He realized a moment later that Bo's coughs were loosening and his breathing was more steady and even. He sighed in relief. When Bo's coughing fit ended, Luke ventured to ask,
"You okay now?" Bo nodded,
"Yeah, I think I'm feeling better!" his enthusiasism only lasted until he let out a loud sneeze, "Heh-EhehCHOOO!" He sniffled and grinned at Luke, sheepishly. Luke shook his head, Bo never quit. He fished in his shirt pocket, and pulled out a handkerchief, handing it to Bo.
"Thanks Luke." Luke just nodded in reply. He felt a mix of emotions boiling inside of him: relief, anger, sadness, disbelief, and one he couldn't place. He felt like he had been picked up by a twister, screaming his lungs out, and a second later he was on the ground again with every hair in place. He shook himself out of it when he heard Bo ask him something.
"Huh? Sorry, Bo, I was thinking about something else."
"I said, How long was I out of it?" Luke paused,
"I'd have to say about two days total. You really scared us, Bo. Aww, dang it, I forgot about Uncle Jesse! He must be going half outta his mind with worry, right now." Luke without further ado, went careening down the hall, towards Uncle Jesse's room, feeling satified and relieved. Bo was going to be okay now. He wasn't going to end up in the hospital. he wasn't going to leave him, Daisy, and Jesse behind. He was just having a bad cold, and now the worst was over.
"Uncle Jesse? Uncle Jesse?" The elder Duke boy called, knocking on the rough wooden door.
Jesse was up in a flash, fearing the worst, and ran to the door,
"Luke! What's wrong? Did he get worse o'ernight?" Jesse asked frantically, his voice trembled, inlaid with panic.
Luke just hugged his uncle, his brown eyes brimming with tears.
" He's alright! Bo's alright, He's going to be alright."
Jesse, completely stunned, pushed past his nephew, entering the bedroom of his youngest. Hearing the door open, Bo sat up and stretched, giving his uncle a prize-winning grin.
Luke watched as Jesse's jaw dropped, flabbergasted. Then, he smiled, as Jesse Duke walked to Bo's bed and wrapped his arms around Bo, happy tears falling down his face.
