Bo's Good Mistake

My Duke's of Hazzard Story

Disclamer: I do not own the Dukes of Hazzard... They belong to WB...:(

Chapter 1

It was your typical day in Hazzard County, the birds were singing, the moon shiners were making shine and the General Lee was racing over the hills. The young blonde sitting in the driver seat is the baby of the Duke Family, Bo Duke. Now he's in some hurry… wondering why? Well you see Bo got a call from his girlfriend, Linda – Ann Hogg, and she told him she had to speak to her right away. Now Dukes and Hoggs don't normally mix but Bo had fallen head over hills for Linda – Ann, and well no matter what his Uncle Jessie, and cousin's Luke and Daisy said, no one could tell him different! To Bo this was the woman he was going to marry. And you could take that to the bank.

The General pulled in the parking lot of "The Boar's Nest" and Bo slid out of the driver side doors. He walked into the Boar's Nest and waved to his cousin Daisy.

"Hey Daisy!" Bo said as he approached the counter.

"Hey sugar! The usual?" replied Daisy

"That's right. Hey you haven't seen Linny-Ann around here have you?"

"Sure she just walked through the door there sug."

"Thanks Dais."

Bo took his drink and started off towards Linda – Ann.

"Hey baby" said Bo as he approached Linda – Ann

"Hey hun" Replied Linda – Ann. She reached up and kissed Bo on the cheek. "Um… Bo can we go somewhere to talk?"

Bo raised a questionable eyebrow.

"Sure…"

Both Bo and Linda – Ann left the Boar's Nest and jumped aboard the General. They drove on down the Hazzard pond. Bo put the car in park and turns to Linda – Ann.

"So babe… what's on your mind?" asked Bo.

"Bo…" She looked up at him with her big brown eyes. Bo took notice that Linda – Ann's long blonde hair wasn't as well placed as it normally was. She didn't really look all that happy either.

"Linda – Ann… is everything alright."

Linda – Ann whispered something that Bo couldn't really understand.

"What was that you said… I didn't hear it?"

" Bo… I'm pregnant!"

Bo just looked at Linda – Ann. The blank look on his face told her that Bo was in shock and refused to accept the words that just came out of her mouth. Linda – Ann just staried out into the distance. Bo took a deep breath and spoke.

"Are you sure?" Bo asked, his voice was low and nervous. At 20 years old Bo Duke wasn't really ready to be a dad. This was his worst fear coming true. Linda – Ann just nodded her head and whispered:

"Yeah… Um… I was to Doc. Applebee and had the blood work done…I got the results yesterday."

Bo sat back and let the words sink into his head. He was going to be a father. This could not be happening. Was it really? Was he ready to be a father? Well, weather he was or not it was going to happen. Bo looked to Linda-Ann. She seemed lost in though. Bo took a deep breath.

"So…um… what do you want to do?" Bo asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you want to get married…"

"NO!"

"What?" Bo was taken back by how quick that Linda - Ann answered his question. Bo would have figured that would have been what she wanted.

"Bo," said Linda – Ann, " It's nothing against you… It's just that.... Well..." She posed for a minute. "It's just that when I get married I want to know for sure that it's cause he loves me and not cause I'm having his child. You know what I mean"

"Whatever you want" replied Bo. It was then that the most important matter of the whole problem came to Bo.

"Oh God…" gored Bo.

"What?"

Bo looked at Linda - Ann right in the face and replied:

"Uncle Jessie and Boss… How are we going to tell them? I mean Boss will throw me in jail… that's if Uncle Jessie don't kill me first."

Bo hit his head off the wheel of the General over and over again.

"Bo?"

Bo stopped hitting is head and looked at Linda – Ann.

"What?" asked Bo.

"I'm going back to Atlanta City Friday."

"What! Why!"

"I just don't want to stay in Hazzard anymore. Plus people are going to talk."

Bo sat back in his seat and looked forward out at Hazzard Pond. He thought for a minute then said:

"Do you really want to go back to Atlanta City?"

Linda – Ann nodded her head.

"I guess I'll be going with you then." Replied Bo

"Bo… You don't have too… I mean I can…" started Linda – Ann, but Bo cut her off.

" Linny – Ann, I'm not going to let you go back to the city with child and all by yourself. Plus, with a baby on the way I need to get a job and start saving…"

Linda – Ann reach over and kissed Bo. They spent the rest of the night talking about what they were going to do and that they would tell their families in the morning. Bo drove Linda – Ann home and then went home himself. By the time he got home everyone was in the bed asleep. Bo went into the room he shared with Luke and got undressed and went to bed…

Poor ol' Bo… how is he ever goin' to break this one to Uncle Jessie?
