doohohohohohoh flash! its back to my midnight writin'! it's 1:02 AM! Ohohohohohodohohoh! I love it I love it! oh yea, it's also 1975, right after the last chapter, an' i don't own the dukes.
With Jesse due to be back in jus' three days, Luke didn't see any reason to get him all worried by calling him up 'an telling him about what'd happened to Bo an' Daisy. 'Sides, he knew he could take care of the both of 'em. It was midmorning the day after the storm. Some trees'd fallen, but aside from that not much was damaged. Oh yeah, Daisy an' Bo was kinda damaged...forgot about that little detail.
Anyhow, Luke had Bo an' Daisy laid up in their beds with 'no buts'. He was delivering some pain meds to Daisy, although he knew she might not want 'em.
"Here ya are." Luke handed her a pill an' a glass of water.
"It don't hurt that much." Daisy sighed as she took the pill.
"Doc said you sprained that ankle somethin' awful. An' I don't intend to let ya lay in pain." Luke adjusted the pillow that Daisy's foot was propped up on.
Daisy could see that Luke was worried somethin' awful. He'd been up most of the night helping Bo breathe, an' he'd popped into her room every time he got a chance.
"Thanks, honey." Daisy smiled with that sweet, country girl smile that could tame an angry boar. It could also calm an overprotective older cousin, namely Luke.
"Ain't no trouble, darlin'." Luke gently patted her arm. "I've gotta go see to Bo now. You need anythin' ya call me." he said as he walked out of her room.
"Alright, thank ya, sugar." Daisy blew an air kiss.
Luke headed back to his an' Bo's room to give Bo his pills.
"Hey, Bo." Luke sat on his own bed. "What do ya say about some pain pills, huh? You look like you could use 'em."
"So long as they ain't narcotics." Bo sighed, opening his exhausted eyes.
"They ain't." Luke opened the pill bottle and handed Bo two pills.
"You sure?"
"Scout's honor." Luke handed him a glass of water.
Bo took the pills. Then Luke adjusted the pillow that Bo's foot was set up on.
"Say, how's Daisy?" Bo asked.
"Cheerful as ever. Her ankles a might swollen, though. I'm gonna ice it, soon as I'm through fixin' up yer bandages." Luke pulled Bo's blanket back and removed his bandages.
"It's gonna sting a bit." Luke warned as he poured antiseptic on a piece of gauze. Then he proceeded to clean the scratches and cuts on Bo's chest and sides.
"I ain't that dirty, I took a shower the other day..." Bo groaned, trying to distract himself from the pain.
"I know, it hurts..." Luke offered. He didn't like hurting Bo anymore than Bo liked it, but he knew it was best for him, and he knew that Bo knew it too.
Once he was finished cleaning him, he re-wrapped him. "Alright, lay back." Luke eased him back against the pillows, slightly off to the left side, so's to keep pressure off the busted ribs in his back.
Bo shut his eyes. He was breathing hard an' almost shaking.
"Hurts, I know." Luke pulled his blankets back up. "You fall asleep, an' when ya wake up, them pain pills'll be doin' their job." Luke gently patted his shoulder.
"Thanks, cuz." Bo managed.
"It ain't no trouble, cousin." Luke smiled. Then he stopped by the kitchen for an ice pack an' headed to Daisy's room.
"Hey, Daisy." Luke gently lifted her foot and put a towel under it. Daisy let out a small groan, but she managed to swallow most of it.
"Sorry." Luke apologized. Then he took the ice pack an' put it on her ankle.
"Cold." Daisy remarked.
"Yeah, that's what it's fer. You's swellin' up a little more than I'd like." Luke told her.
"Bo still feelin' bad?" Daisy asked, remembering the night the boys'd had last night.
"He's okay now." Luke assured her.
"I still don't know how he got me back to the house." Daisy sighed.
"I reckon the good Lord was lookin' down on you two." Luke continued to tend to Daisy's ankle.
"You told Uncle Jesse, yet?" Daisy asked.
"Nah. He'll find out when he gets home." Luke decided.
"He's gonna kick our tails fer not tellin' him."
"He ain't seen cousin whats her face in 15 years. I reckon he deserves to have his full week with her, even at the cost of our tails gettin' kicked." Luke chuckled.
dats all, i luv it i luv it!
