The Good Ol' Days
 
 

Around 6:30 am in L.A.
"Come on sleepy head wake up."
Luke opened an eye and looked up at the person who had just told him to get up. "Come on Trace, let me sleep."
Tracy, Luke's girlfriend, smiled and shook her head. "Sorry, can't. Remember you have to take the boys to school today. I've
got to get going in a few minutes."
"That's right." Luke mumbled into his pillow. "Ok, i'm getting up."
"Here's some coffee." Tracy said and put the cup down on the bed side table as Luke sat up and stretched.
"Thanks." Luke said yawning.
"Welcome." Tracy said and walked towards the bathroom. "When's Bo's plane coming in?"
"About 3:30." Luke told her as he got up and started walking for the closet.
"If you don't' mind, could you pick the boys up after you get him?" Tracy asked as she picked up her tooth brush and the
toothpaste and put it on the brush and started brushing her teeth.
"Sure." Luke said as he got dressed.
He came out of the closet a few moments later wearing jeans and a black, L.A. fire department T-shirt. Tracy came out of the
bathroom pulling her auburn hair into a ponytail.
"Do you have to inspect another building today?" Tracy asked as she came over to him to give him a good-bye kiss.
"Yeah i do. After lunch." Luke said. "Should be through in time to go pick Bo up though."
"Well be careful. You haven't had much luck with your buildings lately." Tracy told him kissing him.
"Mmm." Luke commented as they kissed.
"Yeah i know. I'll be careful." he said after they parted.
"Well you better." Tracy said. "I gotta go. I'll see you later this afternoon."
"Bye baby." Luke said giving her a peck on the cheek as she left. "Oh are we still doing dinner tonight."
"Yeah we are." Tracy told him as she left the bedroom. "Around 7. Love you." she added as she disappeared out the door.
"Love you to." Luke called.
Smiling, he went over to the table next to the bed and picked up his coffee. He took a few sips and then walked into the
bathroom to finish getting ready.

A few minutes later Luke left the bedroom and walked downstairs. He found Tracy's two boys sitting at the kitchen table
finishing their breakfast.
"Morning guys. Ready to go?" Luke asked.
"I am." Mark, the youngest, said as he got up from the table and went over to the sink to clean his bowl out.
"Just a sec." Brad mumbled as he looked at a book.
Luke laughed. "Brad,  you've studied enough son. I think your ready."
Brad sighed as he closed his science book. "Your probably right." he said
Luke laughed. "Well at least its your first class so you don't have to worry about forgetting to much
"Gee thanks for the vote of confidence 'Dad'." Brad said grinning at Luke as he to got up and put his bowl in the sink
"Hey no problem." Luke chuckled as he went into the laundry room where they kept the car keys as the boys finished getting
ready and he came back out a moment later.
"Lets go." he said
"Hey when is your cousin coming in?" Mark asked as they walked out the front door.
Luke laughed as he locked the door behind him. "His plane comes in around 3:30 this afternoon. You'll get to see him after
school."
"Cool." Mark commented.
"Yeah ya'll will like him." Luke said as he pushed a button on his keys to turn off the security system on his Black Jeep Grand
Cherokee. He then pushed another to unlock the doors and all three guys got in the car. Luke started the car up and they
pulled out of the driveway.

About 20 minutes later, Luke stopped in front of the Middle School Mark went to.
"Ok kiddo. Here you go." Luke said as Mark unbuckled his seat belt and moved to the door. "Do well today."
"See you later Luke." Mark said as he got out of the car and walked up on the side walk. He waved a good-bye and then
joined a friend of his and both walked in the school.
Luke drove Brad about a mile down the street before he stopped in front of the High School.
"See you this afternoon." Luke told him. "Good luck on the test."
"Thanks." Brad said as he got out of the car. "Oh hey." he said as he stuck his head back in the door. "Do you want me to walk up and stand with Mark when you come this afternoon."
Luke nodded. "Yeah if you don't mind. Be careful though."
"Will do." Brad said. "See you later Luke." he added as he closed the door.
Luke watched him as he walked in the school and he then drove away from the school and towards the fire department.

Luke hung around the fire department for a couple of hours until he had to go to inspect the building that he had to look at
today. It took him about 20 minutes to get there considering the traffic and then almost 2 hours to look at the entire building. He finally got out of there about 3 and walked to his car.
He was about to open the door when a gray cadillac pulled up next to him. He looked over and smiled when Enos got out of
the car.
"Hey Enos." Luke greeted. "How did you know i was here."
"I went by the fire station and they told me where you were." Enos said. "We need to talk."
Luke slid in behind the wheel and put the keys into the ignition. "Well your going to have to do it at the airport. I've got to pick
Bo up."
Enos looked annoyed and then nodded. "Alright, i'll follow you." he said as he got back into the car.
Luke nodded and started the engine and left the parking lot.

Luke got to the airport about 15 minutes later and parked in the parking lot. Enos parked near him and then got out of the car
and walked over to where Luke was still getting out of the car.
"Is it just Bo or is Kelly coming with him?" Enos asked
Luke shook his head as he got out of the car and then armed the security device
"Kelly isn't coming. Its just Bo and I think he's bringing Olivia with him."
"Ah." Enos said. "I haven't seen the little one yet."
"Yeah, i haven't seen her since she was born. I'm looking forward to see her." Luke said as they walked through the parking
garage. "How are Daisy and the baby today."
Enos smiled. "Oh fine. Daisy went out to UCLA today to give a lecture and took Jessica with her. Said the class was more
interested in the baby than the lecture."
Luke laughed and then sobered some."Ok Enos. What's up.Why did you follow me here?" he asked as the walked into LAX.
"Its about the building isn't it."
Enos shook his head. "Yeah it is."
Luke walked over to the wall where the flight schedules where and check Bo's flight. It was on time and should be already on
the ground. "This way." he said, walking towards an escalator.
"You think i'm doing this?" he asked as he and Enos got on it.
"No, i don't. But my Sergeant isn't so sure and i thought i'd come out and talk to you."
Luke shook his head. "Well i'm not doing it and i don't know who is."
Enos held up a hand "Ok, i just wanted to ask. I'm sorry, its the job." he said as they got off the escalator.
Luke smiled a little. "Yeah i know."
They walked through the crowded concourse and all the way down to almost the last gate on the right side. Luke looked at the
board behind the ticket counter and it said that the plane was in the process of deboarding.
"He should be out in a moment." Luke commented "Hey, you still coming over for dinner?"
Enos nodded "Yeah. What time."
"Tracy said we should eat around 7 or so. So come over around 6 if you want. Don't forget to bring Daisy and the baby
though."
Enos shook his head. "I won't."
A short time later, people started walking out of the hallway leading to the plane. A few minutes later and Luke saw Bo come
out at as well, carrying a black carry-on bag on one arm and his 13 month old daughter on the other.
"Bo!" Luke called as he waved.
Bo didn't see them right away until Luke called a second time. He smiled and started walking towards them.
Luke and Enos met him halfway.
"Hey you!" Luke said
"Hey yourself stranger." Bo said taking the hand Luke offered and shaking it. He couldn't really hug him at the moment with
Olivia on one arm
"And hello to you to, Miss Olivia." Luke said, looking at Bo's daughter.
Olivia smiled at him and giggled a little
"Can i hold her?" Luke asked
Bo chuckled. "Sure." he said and let Luke take the little girl out of his arms.
Luke took Olivia into his arms. "She looks just like you Bo." he said after a moment.
Bo reached out and stroked his daughters hair and smiled. "Doesn't she" he said and then looked at Enos and smiled and held
out a hand. "Enos, how are you?"
Enos took his hand and shook it. "I'm doing well Bo. Thank you. Its good to see you." he said. "How are things in Hazzard?"
"Hazzard is fine. The biggest news there.." Bo broke off and chuckled. "...Well, the biggest news since Cooter was elected
President, is Rosco is going to retire."
Enos raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked.
"Wow," Luke commented.
"Yeah i couldn't believe it myself, but he says its time." Bo said
"So, who will take over for him?" Enos asked. "Cletus?"
Bo nodded his head. "Yeah and they have hired a few more deputies on because Kelly will be leaving and they need people."
"So she did decide to take that job with the Rangers. I remember you mentioning that to me back a couple of months ago."
Luke said
"Yeah. In fact that's where she is now, Texas. She's seeing what the department and the people are like." Bo said.
"Well at least we'll be closer." Luke commented and looked at Olivia and bounced her on his arm. "Isn't that right Olivia."
"She's missed her godfather." Bo told Luke
Luke nodded, a guilty look crossing his face. "Yeah, i'm sorry about that."
Bo shook his head. "No, its ok. I understand. You don't have to explain." he said. "How is Tracy by the way?"
Luke smiled. "Tracy is doing well. She went back to teaching about a month and a half ago." he said "Speaking of which we
need to get your bags and get out of here, I've got to pick up the boys."
As they moved off towards baggage claim, Enos's pager suddenly went off. Enos stopped and unhooked the device from his
belt and looked at it.
"Daisy?" Luke asked.
Enos shook his head. "No, its the office." he said. "I'm going to have to go, but I will see you later."
Luke looked at him for a moment wondering why the LAPD was calling Enos back to the office. He hoped that building he
inspected earlier hadn't burned to. He shook it off and nodded at Enos. "Ok, Enos. Take it easy."
"Bye Enos." Bo said.
"I'll see ya'll at dinner." Enos said by way of leaving and then took off in the direction that would lead to the parking garage.
"What was that all about?" Bo asked after a moment.
Luke was watching Enos walk away, and shook his head. He turned back to Bo and smiled. "Nothing, don't worry about it. I'll tell you later."
Bo raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.
"Come on lets go." Luke said and they started walking towards baggage claim again.

Both men made it to the baggage claim a few moments later. The luggage had not arrived yet.
"I hope this doesn't take to long." Luke said "I don't want to leave those boys at school for to long."
"How many kids does Tracy have?" Bo asked.
Luke shifted Olivia to his other arm before he answered. "Two. Brad and Mark."
"Ya'll seem to get along ok?"
Luke nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I was afraid at first they wouldn't like me, but we get along great."
"Thats good."
"Yeah i was worried the most about Brad since he's the oldest."
"How old is he?"
"He's 15 almost 16 and Mark is 13."
Just then the conveyor belt started up, signaling that the baggage was on its way.
Both men fell silent for a moment as they waited for Bo's luggage. A few moments later, Bo spotted his large dark blue
suitcase.
"Their it is." Bo said pointing to them.
"Here, take Olivia and i'll get it." Luke said.
"You sure." Bo asked
Luke nodded and handed Olivia back to her father. "No problem." he said as he picked it up. "Ok, lets go."
Both men started walking back the way they had come.
"So, you think you and Tracy will get married?" Bo asked after a moment
Luke smiled. "I think so, eventually." he said.
"I can't wait to meet her." Bo told him.
Luke nodded. "She's a great girl." he said "I think you'll like her...At least i hope you will."
Bo chuckled and reached out and patted his cousin on the arm. "I'm sure i will cousin, don't worry."
Both men fell silent for a few moments and made it their way back through the airport and to the doors leading to the outside.
"Its this way." Luke said as they walked out the doors.
"So how did you meet Tracy? You rescued her from a fire right?" Bo said.
Luke chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. Actually i saw her when i came into her class in the fall of last year to teach the kids fire
safety and all that. I only briefly talked to her then and thought she seemed nice and all and then didn't see her again after that.
Well we got this call about mid November. and we responded...." Luke stopped for a moment and pointed towards his car.
"That's it." he said and after a moment they stopped at the trunk and Luke set the suitcase down and started digging for his
keys. He got them out and then disarmed the security system and then opened the trunk. "There's a child seat in the back. you
can go ahead and put Olivia in their while i'm doing this. Door's open."
Bo nodded and then went to the passenger side back door and opened it. He found the seat and put Olivia in it and started
buckling her in. Meanwhile Luke finished stowing Bo's suitcase and then his carryon and closed the trunk and went around to
the drivers side and climbed in, closing the door behind him. He turned in the seat so he could watch Bo strap Olivia in. He
made a couple of faces at the little girl, making her giggle.
"Say Luke, Olivia." Luke said as she giggled. "Can you say Luke?"
Olivia didn't say anything, just giggled again and looked shy.
Bo chuckled. "She's just being shy. She said your name the other day." he said as he finished with the buckle. He kissed his
daughter on the head and then got out, closing the door behind him. He then opened the passenger side door and climbed in
and buckled himself in.
"You ready?" Luke asked as he put the keys in the ignition and turned the car on.
"Yep. Lets go." Bo said
Luke put the jeep in gear and pulled out of the parking space. He then put it in forward and started towards the entrance to the
parking garage. Once he was out, he drove towards the entrance to the airport.
"Now what were you saying about how you met Tracy." Bo asked.
Luke thought for a moment. "Oh, well when we got out to her house, the boys were already outside and they told us that she
was still in the house. So, me and one other guy went in while the others staid outside to fight the fire. I eventually found her in
her room and got her out of there and i then she was taken to the hospital and i didn't see her again until i went out to the
hospital the next day just to check on her. From there, well, i started helping out, taking turns with her parents watching her at
the hospital while she got better and then taking care of Brad and Mark. Tracy's ex husband helped out a little but he couldn't
do much because of his job." Luke stopped for a moment as he got to the entrance to the airport and after checking to see
where the cars where and then turned left and merged into the flow of traffic.
"So you fell in love with her." Bo said.
Luke smiled, eyes sparkling, and nodded. "Yeah, totally and completely. I didn't know until a little after she was released from
the hospital that she felt the same way about me..." he stopped for a moment as he changed lanes and then laughed. "I don't
think i've told you this but she and I split up about a month ago just to see if our relationship wasn't just because i helped take
care of her or something like that."
"I take it, ya'll didn't stay broke up for long." Bo commented, smiling
Luke laughed and shook his head. "Try three days." he said and then became sober for a moment. "I love her Bo. I haven't felt
this way in a long time and..." he stopped shrugging. "She's just so special and it hasn't been easy on her since that fire but she
has recovered well..." he stopped again, trying to find the words to express himself.
Bo stepped in when he saw Luke struggling with his words. "Its ok, i understand." he said. "I'm really glad for you. Its good to
see you so happy. I think this move to California was the right idea."
Luke smiled and then chuckled. "You going to report back to Erin now about how i'm doing?"
Bo snickered. "Well she did want to know since you haven't been in contact in a few months."
"Yeah i know. I'm sorry about that." Luke said. "Its just after we got Tracy home and on the road to recovery, i started work
back up and once she went back to teaching, I started work back up full time and i've been trying to make up for that time i
lost because i had taken leave when Tracy was in the hospital.
Bo snorted and wave a hand in the air. "Ah its ok, you don't have to explain. I haven't been exactly a good person with phoning or writing lately either."
Luke didn't respond for a moment as he pulled onto the on ramp to the expressway. "Speaking of which, how is school going?" he asked after he got on the expressway.
Bo smiled "Oh fine. Its going great. I won't lie, it has been a little bit of a struggle for me, especially at first but its going well
and i'm really enjoying it." he said. "Our school year just ended last week, had all these exams."
Luke chuckled. "What is your major again?"
"Its called Drafting and Design Technology and i'm doing a focus in computers."
"Wow." Luke commented.
Bo chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah i know, big words."
Luke looked over at him briefly before focussing back on the road. "But your doing fine in it."
Bo nodded "Yeah, its going well. Like i said its been a bit of a struggle but i'm doing fine and i really enjoy it."
"Well i'm glad for you and i'm proud."
Bo smiled. "Thanks." he said.
Luke laughed again "Well when you said you wanted to change your life, you defiantly have."
Bo smiled "Yeah." he commented and turned to check on his daughter. He saw that she was asleep and he turned back around and nodded his head back. "Look."
Luke looked in the rear view mirror and smiled. "Aw." he said. "So you and Kelly doing ok."
Bo smiled "Yeah we are doing fine. Fact i miss her already."
Luke reached over and patted his cousin on the arm and then fell silent for a moment as he changed lanes and then got off the
expressway.
"Do you have anyone to take the farm?" he asked as he stopped the car at the traffic light.
Bo shook his head. "No not yet. We probably won't be moving for another month so we still have time to look for an owner."
he said. "I want to keep it in the family though. I mean we do have other cousins and stuff so.."
Luke nodded. "Yeah." he said. "The General doing all right." he asked as the light turned green and he turned right towards the
direction of the schools.
"Yep, he's doing fine. Fact i entered him into a race about a month ago and raced him."
"How'd you do?"
Bo snorted. "I came in third. Got beat out by two teenagers."
Luke laughed. "We use to be those you know."
"Yeah i know, once."
Luke continued down the road and came to a stop at another traffic light. "We're almost there." he said and then light light
turned green and he continued, coming to a stop a few moments later and turned onto another street.
"So are you not jumping any more?" Bo asked.
Luke shook his head. "Not much anymore no. The job was mostly a job working at a fire station anyway so.." Luke shrugged.
"I volunteer to jump when they need the extra people though, fact i was up in the mountains last week helping out. Plus i now
have Tracy and the boys and its a little bit more safer to be on the ground than jumping."
"Cool." Bo said.
Luke nodded "He we are." he said as the Middle School came into view. "And there are the boys." he added as he honked
the horn once.
Bo saw one of them look their way, the shorter of the two and probably the youngest. He waved and then turned to his brother to get his attention.
Luke brought the car to a stop a few feet in front of them and the boys stepped off the side walk and both split up as they went
to separate sides of the car to get in.
"Hey guys." Luke greeted as they opened the doors and climbed in.
"Hey Luke," Brad said as he got in.
"Boys, i want you to meet my cousin Bo." Luke said. "Bo, this is Brad and Mark
"Bo." Brad greeted and stuck out his hand.
Bo took it and shook it. "Nice to meet you."
"Hey, did you bring you car with you?" Mark asked by way of greeting.
Bo burst out laughing as he looked at Luke. "You tell them about the General?"
Luke smiled and nodded. "Yep. Told them all about him."
Bo laughed again and looked at the boy. "Sorry Mark but i didn't. Couldn't quite get him into the suitcase."
"Oh rats." Mark said as he closed his door and sat down beside the baby seat. He turned to look at the now awake and Olivia
and smiled at her.
"It doesn't matter anyway, bro. You can't drive." Brad told him.
Mark stuck his tongue out at his brother.
Brad grinned as he to sat down and smiled over at Olivia. "And who might you be little one?" he said and tickled her under her
chin, making the little girl laugh.
"That's Olivia." Bo said as Luke started driving again.

They continued to talk as they drove home. Luke pulled into the driveway about 20 minutes later.
"Looks like Tracy isn't home just yet." he said when he didn't see his girlfriends car in the driveway.
Everyone climbed out of the car and Luke went around to the back and opened the trunk and took out Bo's bags while Bo got
his daughter out of the car. Luke then tossed the keys to Mark and he went on ahead and opened the door and he and Brad
disappeared inside. Luke closed the trunk and picked up the bags and walked around to the side where Bo was getting Olivia.
"Ya got her." he asked
Bo came out of the car holding his daughter in his arms and nodded. "Yep." he said and closed the door.
Luke lead the way to the house and went inside. "Well here we are." he said.
Bo nodded and looked around the house for a moment. "Nice." he said.
"Yep." Luke said and started walking towards the stairs. "Come on, i'll show you were you'll sleep. We already have a crib set
up for Olivia.
As the walked to the stairs, Luke stopped at the kitchen and saw both boys getting snacks. "If ya'll have any homework, you
might want to start on pretty soon so you won't have any to do come dinner time."
Both boys nodded and Luke along with Bo walked to the stairs and went up. Once they got to the top, he turned right and
walked down the hall going past both boys rooms to the spare bedroom. He walked in and set both the suitcase and the carry
on bag down on the floor.
Bo saw the crib and smiled. "Ya'll didn't have to." he said.
Luke shook his head. "Its ok, wasn't a problem." he said. "Actually Tracy was trilled when she found out that you were going to bring the baby."
Bo nodded and then looked at Olivia. "And i think this little one needs a diaper change. What do you think Olivia?"
Luke snorted. "I think i'll leave that up to you." he said.
Bo grinned as he set Olivia down on the bed and grabbed the carryon bag and put on the bed as well. "Aw." he said. "You
might as well learn now since you and Tracy might have a little one of your own someday."
Luke chuckled. "I think i'll wait until then."
"Suit yourself cousin, but you missing out on the fun." Bo teased as he got a clean diaper out of the bag and started taking the
dirty diaper off of Olivia.
Luke rolled his eyes and watched as Bo changed the diaper. A few moments later he had it changed and he tickled his daughter which made her laugh. He sat down on the bed and yawned.
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Past your nap time cousin?"
Bo smiled and scratched his head. "Well it has been a long day." he said. "Actually if you don't mind, i think i'm going to take a
quick nap."
"Sure not a problem." Luke said and then looked at Olivia. "What about her."
Bo smiled down at his daughter. "I think she's fine. She slept a little on the plane and then a little while ago, so i think she should be ok. I have some videos and stories if you want to keep her entertained.
Luke smiled. "Sure. Give me time to get to know her more."
"You don't mind?" Bo asked.
Luke shook his head and reached down and picked up Olivia. "No i don't mind at all."
Bo chuckled and then pulled a couple of things out of the carryon bag and handed them to Luke.
"Barney." Luke said as he saw one of the videos.
Bo shrugged. "Hey, it keeps her entertained." he said.
"Ok," Luke said. "Well we'll leave you alone." he added as he started walking to the door and turned back around once he got
there.  "I think we are going to order Chinese tonight. How does that sound?"
"Good." Bo said. "I've been kinda wanting some lately."
"Can Olivia eat it?"
Bo snorted. "She eats just about anything. But if she doesn't want any then i do have some baby food with me.
Luke nodded and then added as he smiled "Its good to have you here Bo."
"Its good seeing  you again to." Bo said.
Luke nodded and then left the room, closing the door behind him.

About 20 minutes later Tracy came home.
"I'm home." she said as she walked in the door.
Luke looked up from where he was playing with Olivia on the floor. "Hey sweetie."
Tracy closed the door and walked over, setting her bag down on a nearby chair. "And who might this be?" she asked as she
smiled at the little girl.
Luke got up from the floor and kissed his girlfriend, then bent down and picked up the little girl. "This is Olivia." he said. "Olivia
can you tell Tracy hello? Say hi."
Olivia smiled "Hi." she said in her baby voice.
"Aw." Tracy said and held out her arms and Luke gave her Olivia, who didn't seem to mind being given to another person.
"She's adorable Luke."
"Isn't she." Luke said "She looks so much like her father but she does have some of Kelly in her to."
"Speaking of fathers. Where is your cousin?"
"Taking a nap." Luke said.
Tracy smiled. "That sounds good to me."
"You ok?" Luke asked concerned.
Tracy nodded. "Oh yeah, i'm fine. I just got a little bit of a headache that's all. So, if you don't mind, i'm going to go crash for a
few minutes myself. " she said as she handed Olivia back over.
"That's fine." Luke said. "Call me if you need anything."
Tracy smiled and kissed Luke on the check. "Thanks honey."
"Love you." Luke said.
"I love you to." Tracy said as she walked to the stairs. "Are they boys upstairs?"
"Yeah their doing their homework." Luke said.
Tracy nodded. "Ok. Yeah when I get up we can order the Chinese."
"Sounds good to me."
"Cool," Tracy said as she went upstairs.
 
About 20 minutes after Tracy went to go lie down, Bo got up and came downstairs. He found Luke sitting on the couch, with Olivia in his lap, reading to her.
"Aww, you two look so cute." Bo said
Luke looked from the book and grinned. "Have a good nap?"
Bo nodded and ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah." he said. "Whatcha reading?"
"Goodnight Moon." Luke said. "Actually we just started it."
"Yeah that's her favorite."
"Daddy," Olivia said, holding out her arms, the book already forgotten.
"Hey pumpkin." Bo said and walked over and picked her up. "How's daddy's little girl?"
Luke put aside the book and watched his cousin as he interacted with his daughter.
"She behave all right for you?" Bo asked after a moment, as he sat down on the couch.
Luke nodded. "Yeah, she was fine." he said. "She wasn't a problem at all."
"That's good." Bo said. "Has Tracy not come home yet?"
"No, she's home." Luke said "She just went upstairs to take a nap, said she had a headache."
Just then Mark came traipsing down the stairs. "Hey ya'll." he said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey Mark." Luke said. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing much. I'm just getting some more to drink."
"Finished with your homework yet?" Luke asked.
Mark didn't answer right away until he came out of the kitchen a few moments later with his glass refilled and headed towards the steps. "I'm almost finished. I should be through in a little while." he said as he ran back up the steps.
"They seem like really good kids." Bo commented after Mark had disappeared up the steps.
Luke shook his head. "Yeah they are. They really are."
Both men fell silent for a moment, then Bo turned to look at Luke.
"Luke you said you would tell me about what went on between you and Enos." Bo said. "Is it anything serious?"
"No it ain't serious Bo, really, just a few burned buildings along my inspection route."
Bo raised an eyebrow "So, Enos thinks you might be doing it"
Luke shook his head. "No, Enos doesn't think i'm doing it, but his Sergeant does." he said. "Like i said, don't worry about it."
Bo wanted to say something else, but decided better of it. "Ok." he said. "Just don't want to have to be breaking you out of jail in a day or so is all."
Luke laughed and shook his head. "No, no, no. You won't have to be doing that...I hope."
"Won't have to be doing what?" a new voice asked
Both men looked up to see Tracy coming down the steps. She had changed out of her dress she had been wearing and was now wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Luke smiled and got up. "Won't have to be breaking me out of jail. I was just telling Bo about the fires." he explained as he walked over to her. "How's your headache?"
"Its better." Tracy said.
"Good." Luke said and kissed her. Then he put one arm around her waist and turned to look at his cousin. "Bo, i want you to meet Tracy. Tracy this is Bo."
Bo smiled at the young woman that had turned his cousin's head and he stood up and shook her hand. "It's great to meet you Tracy."
"Its good to finally meet you Bo. I've heard alot about you from Luke."
Bo smiled widely at the blush that appeared in his cousin's cheeks. "And I've heard much about you too."
Tracy grinned and looked up at Luke. "All good i would hope." she said, poking him in the arm, playfully
Bo started to laugh and nodded. "Yeah it was, I'd introduce you to my daughter, but she is currently asleep." he said, looking over at the sofa and seeing his daughter asleep with a thumb in her mouth.
"That's ok." Tracy said. "She and i got acquainted while you were taking a nap. She's really adorable Bo."
"Thanks." He thought back to the conversation he had with Luke and he smiled. "I'm sure you and Lukas here will have a little one of your own someday."
Luke gave Bo a look that said You are a dead man cousin, making Bo laugh.
"You frighten me with that face Cousin, even more than usual I mean."
Tracy looked up at her boyfriend and burst out laughing. She patted his arm "Calm down, no bloodshed please." she said, still giggling.
Bo looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You don't know him like I do, the moment you leave the room there will be bloodshed..mine."
Luke took a menacing step towards Bo and raised a fist. Bo put up his hands and took a step back. "Whoa," he said, "If you kill me how are you going to explain in to Kelly?"
Luke gave him a lopsided grin. "I don't know but i'll figure it out."
Bo couldn't help it, but he started laughing. Luke looked at him for a moment, trying to keep his face straight but after a moment he couldn't help laughing as well."
"You know, you two are very weird." Tracy told them.
"Why thank you." Bo said as he leaned on Luke's shoulder.
Luke punched Bo lightly in the arm. "Nice to know your schooling hasn't taken away your sense of humor."
Bo looked at Luke "Cute Luke, real cute." he quipped.
Tracy rolled her eyes and shook her head. Both men broke out laughing at her expression. She sighed and shook her head again and looked at her watch, it was about 5:30. "When were Daisy and Enos supposed to get here?"
"About six."Luke said, trying to get his laughter under control.
"Well its 5:30 now so how about we start ordering the Chinese." she said as she started walking towards the kitchen.
"Sounds good to me." Luke said and started to follow her when Bo put his hand on his arm and stopped him.
"You can breathe again. I like her." Bo told him grinning.
Luke smiled
Bo grinned again "Ya'll have a computer?"
"Yeah, its upstairs. The first room on your right." Luke said "I'll join you in a minute after i order this Chinese. I need to check my email anyway."
"Thanks." Bo said and disappeared up the stairs.

Bo was showing Luke some stuff on the computer when Daisy and Enos got there a little bit after six. They had already called in for the Chinese food to be delivered and it wasn't there just yet.
"Hey guys!" Tracy called from downstairs. "Enos and Daisy are here."
"Coming." Luke shouted back and looked back at the computer screen. "That's really cool Bo. Hazzard is now on the web."
Bo leaned back in the chair. "Yeah isn't it." he said. "I'm seriously considering doing a history on the Duke family and putting it on here."
"I'd say go for it." Luke said and then patted him on the shoulder. "Come on, you have a new niece you have to meet."
Bo laughed and got up.
Both men left the room and walked down the steps. At the bottom they found Daisy and Enos standing near the door. Daisy was holding a baby in her arms and Enos was standing behind her holding a carrier. Tracy was standing near them, with her back turned to both men and had Olivia in her arms, showing her the baby.
Daisy looked up as Bo and Luke came in and smiled. "Bo!" she said.
"Hey Daisy." Bo greeted as he came over.
Daisy took one of her arms away from the baby and gave her cousin a quick one armed hug. "How are you?"
Bo smiled. "I'm doing fine." he said "Is this the little one you've been telling me about?"
Daisy smiled. "Bo i want you to meet your niece Jessica Deanna Straight or.." Daisy broke off and looked at her husband. "...As we are going to call her, Jessie."
Bo smiled. "Good name." he said "She's beautiful, Daisy. How old is she?"
"6 months."
"Hey little one." Bo said to the baby and then turned to his daughter. "Say hi to your little cousin Olivia."
Olivia looked at the baby "Hi," she said after a moment.
Everyone laughed and Bo looked at Daisy and Enos "Daisy, Enos this is Olivia."
"Hi Olivia." Daisy said, smiling at the little girl. "She's adorable Bo."
"Hey ya'll why don't we all sit down." Luke said. "Food should be here in a little while."
"Good idea." Daisy said.
"Good, i'm hungry." Bo said
Luke snorted. "Your always hungry."

About 15 minutes later the food arrived and everyone sat down at the dinning room table to eat. Brad and Mark were there now as well, after having finished all their homework. Everyone chatted, got caught up with what was going on in everyone's lives and were having a good time.
After dinner was finished and the stuff cleared away, everyone went back into the living room and started talking again. Daisy disappeared upstairs with the baby for a few minutes and Luke disappeared upstairs as well. Luke came back down the steps first, pulling on a light jacket.
"Ya'll i just checked my pager and someone wants to meet with me. I should be back in a little while." he said
"Alright cousin." Bo said.
"Be careful." Tracy told him.
"I will." Luke said and after grabbing his keys he left the house.
"Wonder what that is about?" Enos said.
"Dunno." Bo said and got up, holding his sleepy daughter in his arms. "If ya'll will excuse me, i'm going to go give Olivia a bath and then put her down."
"Can I?" Tracy asked.
"Can you give her a bath?" Bo asked.
Tracy nodded.
"Sure if you want." Bo said and handed Olivia to Tracy.
Tracy took the girl and smiled at her. "Come on Olivia. Aunt Tracy is going to give you a bath. Would you like that?"
she added as she went upstairs with Olivia.
Bo sat back down just as Daisy came back downstairs with the baby. She came over and sat back down beside her husband.
"Where is Tracy going with Olivia."
"She's going to go give her a bath."
"What do you think of her?" Daisy asked, smiling
"I like her." Bo said. "She seems really nice."
"Yeah i like her to." Daisy said. "I'm just glad that Luke is happy."
Bo smiled. "Yeah i am to."

Luke arrived at the meeting place about 20 minutes later. It was a small park and he stopped the car and put it in park. He didn't know who he was supposed to meet and what this was about, but he had a thought that it might be something about the recent torchings of several of his buildings along his inspection route.
Luke turned off the car and sat back in the seat and got comfortable. He hoped whoever had paged him, showed themselves soon, he didnt' really want to be away from the house for to long.
He sat there for about 30 minutes and no one showed up. Luke started the car back up, a little bit irratated. He then started thinking that maybe someone had dialed the wrong number and that message had been meant for someone else and not him, but he didn't know. Shrugging it off he drove back home.

Around 10:30, Daisy and Enos bid their goodbyes and headed out. A short time later, both Brad and Mark said goodnight as well.
"I think i'm going to go to." Bo said a few minutes later as he got up off the sofa. "Night ya'll."
"Night Bo, see you in the morning." Tracy said.
"Sleep well cousin." Luke said.
After Bo left, Luke and Tracy were alone.
"So, what do you think?" Luke asked
Tracy looked at Luke. "Of Bo?" she asked.
Luke nodded
"He's nice." Tracy said. "I like him. What does he think about me?"
Luke smiled. "He likes you." he said. "I think you past the test with flying colors."
Tracy laughed. "Oh good, i was worried."
"Yeah me to." Luke said and took her hand.
Tracy squeezed it and yawned. "I think i'm going to head up to. I've got kids to teach in the morning. You coming?"
Luke nodded. "Yeah, in a few minutes."
Tracy stood up "Alright." she said. "Don't be to long."
Luke shook his head. "I won't."
Tracy smiled, blew Luke a kiss and went upstairs to bed, Luke followed a few minutes later and then the house was silent for the rest of the night.
