Kira woke up to feeling a push on her shoulders. Looking up, she saw her husband and brother both staring down on her.

“What are you doin’ down here?” Jebb gave his most stern look as he spoke. She’d been on bed rest for just a few days and was already sneaking around.

“Don’t give me that look. Doc Appleby said that it would be fine to stay on the chaise. He just said that once I come downstairs I have to stay down here until bedtime. The same rules apply. I’ll just be able to be around everyone here in the living room instead.”

Jebb exchanged a look with Bo before calling the doctor to check with him personally. He wouldn’t put it past her to bend the truth a bit. “Alright. He said that you could stay downstairs during the day if you want. But you still can’t get up.”

“There’s Daisy coming in now. I’ll head back out with the others.” Bo shook his head at his sister. Somehow he doubted that the Doc just up and told her she could come downstairs. She must have badgered him. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to handle being stuck in bed neither.




“Y’all are gonna have to settle on one soon. Personally, I’ve always been partial to the name Coy myself.”

A few days later after dinner, the family gathered in the living room and were all giving their own suggestions for the baby’s name since Jebb and Kira had said that they were still debating what to names to use.

“I wonder why, Coy. If you want a kid to carry on your name, go get your own. Ain’t no one stoppin’ ya.” Jebb had settled onto the chaise lounge with Kira and was enjoying feeling the twins moving around. Kira seemed to melt into Jebb as he wrapped his arms around her. This chair had quickly become their favorite chair in the living room. Just big enough for both of them to sit in. Just small enough to see to it that Kira fit snugly up against him.

“Well, like I said before, DON’T name him Beauregard.”

“Or Lukas,” Luke added since he’d never particularly cared for his given name either.

“Well, I’m pretty sure that the world couldn’t handle two Bo Dukes anyway Cuz.” Jebb had already discounted both of those names since he knew very well how he had teased both cousins about their names while growing up. Especially Bo.

“At least you only have to decide on a boy’s name. That should make things easier.” Vance said from the couch, sitting between Daisy and Coy. The other guys had brought in kitchen chairs to sit in with both Bo and Luke’s guitars by their sides. They’d planned to play in a bit once the discussion about the baby’s name was done. Uncle Jesse was sitting in the recliner relaxing, enjoying the evening with his nieces and nephews.

“Well, it ain’t that easy.” Kira said from the chaise since she and Jebb WERE having to pick out names for both a boy AND a girl just in case.

“Doc said that there was still a small chance that there was an error in the sonogram. He said that we should still be prepared just in case.” Not to mention that they didn’t have a clue what the second baby will be.

“I’m kinda hoping that it was wrong,” Daisy added. “I think that it’d be fun dressin’ up a baby girl in frilly dresses and all.”

“Jebb said small chance. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself Daisy. I wouldn’t be buying none of those pink dresses just yet. Not to mention, I can’t see myself dressing the baby in pink no how. I HATE pink.”

“Then you’d better hope that you’re not having a girl. Little girls usually LOVE pink.” Daisy grinned from the couch.

“At least with his sisters, Jebb has experience with baby girls. Tell me Jebb, how often did you have to end up playing tea party when you’d rather be out on a date?” Judd laughed as he thought about his cousin sitting around the table with his younger sisters and their dolls drinking imaginary tea.

“Very funny, Judd. Actually, a girl’s name is what has really been difficult to come up with.”

“Why?” Bo asked. “There’s lots of pretty names out there.”

“Yeh, and Jebb’s dated many of them with girls attached to those names.” Kira may not have been quite as possessive as Jebb had been from time to time, but she wasn’t about to name one of her children after one of his ex-girlfriends.

“Oh.” Bo thought about how difficult that it would be for him to come up with a name of a girl that he hadn’t dated. He knew that all of his cousins would pretty much be in the same spot. “Daisy’s right. You’d better hope that you have only boys from here on out.”

“Don’t they have books with nothin’ but names in it to help parents come up with a name? Seems like there would be at least ONE name that you two could agree on in a book like that. One that Jebb hadn’t dated a girl with the same name.” Leave it to Luke to think out a logical solution.

“I can go pick one up for you two the next time I go into Capital City,” Daisy said trying to be helpful, still crossing her fingers for a girl.

“You might want to. I’ve about ran out of ideas myself. Names that we’ve come up with so far that Jebb hadn’t dated, I don’t like.”

“What about names for boys? Are you having problems there for the same reason, too?” Jesse had a few ideas himself but he’d keep them to himself for now until they ask him for them.

“I don’t know, Jebb, how many men did you date?” Kira had to pick on her husband.

“Very funny.” Jebb started to tickle Kira in response to her deflecting the question. “You know what he meant.”

“I didn’t date all that much. Sorry to disappoint ya. I left all the whoring around to the men in the family,” Kira said between trying to catch her breath she was laughing so hard while Jebb still was attacking her with the tickling.

“KIRA!” Jesse was surprised to hear Kira’s comment. Though to be honest, if all of his nephews were females instead, he supposed the way Kira had put it would be used to describe them in society quite accurately. Fair or not, men could get away with that kind of behavior a lot easier than women could. “Just because Dukes are always honest, it doesn’t mean that you have to be crude about it.” He tried to scold her as he would the others but the effect was ruined when he chuckled. “But you always are a bit blunt aren’t you?”

Kira couldn’t really respond since Jebb had renewed the assault in response to the comment. He only stopped when her squirming had a certain effect on him. Something that he wasn’t quite comfortable with, not with his uncle and her brother sitting just a few feet away, along with the rest of the family. Kira gave him a knowing smile, it served him right. She shifted around a bit to try to get comfortable again, well that was her excuse anyway, and settled back against Jebb to hide the evidence of what effect their tickle fest had on Jebb as each of the cousins continued to throw out names to be considered. Each of those names, though, seemed to have a story behind them which Kira insisted on hearing before considering the name for a possible one for her child.

The discussion wrapped up and the fellas started to play while the others sang along to the various songs that they were playing. After a couple of hours, the other Dukes filtered on out. All of the men were glad that the barn was almost done. In fact, they would probably finish the next day. Kira figured that would mean that some of her steady stream of visitors would be slacking off since she knew that many of the visitors, most of them female, were actually coming to watch the men work outside. Even as chilly as it had been lately, the men always seem to work up a good sweat which in turn, meant that they’d all ended up shirtless by about lunch time. Kira was just the excuse for the women in Hazzard to come over and watch the Duke Men at work. Six attractive Duke Men getting hot and sweaty while working out on the barn. It hadn’t taken long for word to get out about it to cause a steady flow of on lookers to come out to the house. Kira actually found it a little funny watching the women pant over the men. After all, one of those men was all hers. They could look all they wanted, because at the end of the day, she got to do more than just look.

Once the two married Dukes were left alone, they headed on up to bed. Kira cuddled up against her husband. When Jebb started to kiss the side of her neck, she was fighting between enjoying the sensations that HE KNEW he was causing and deciding whether to stop him now seeing as how she knew that she’d only end up frustrated since there was no way that they’d be able to finish where she wished that this was going. At least not totally since being sexually satisfied was on the list of what she couldn’t do while on bed rest. Having an orgasm meant risking going back into labor at this point. Something she really wasn’t willing to risk, and neither was Jebb. Of course that didn’t mean that he didn’t enjoy teasing her. In fact, that had become his favorite pass time when they were alone.

“Jebb, what do you think you’re doin’?”

“Gettin’ revenge.” Jebb started to work his way down, leaving kisses as he went.

“For what?” Kira closed her eyes as she surrendered to the sensations. She might as well enjoy what she could.

“As if you didn’t know.”

One of the bad things about being married to someone who knew her so well was that he knew just how far to take her without going against the doctor’s orders. Squirming, Kira figured that turnabout was fair play. If he wanted to play, then she’d play. The only thing being, it wasn’t fair that he didn’t have to suffer by constantly being frustrated since HE was still allowed to have orgasms (even if he still had to abstain from his favorite way to have them). That didn’t mean that she didn’t enjoy teasing him a bit in return. Of course, she’d have to come up with a way to even things out a little. After all, she and Jebb were already exploring options and positions that they’d never needed to consider before her restrictions. She might as well as explore a few more.




Kira was sitting on the chaise lounge finishing up her last square for the babies quilts. Lulu was coming over to help her piece the squares together later today. It was hard to believe that she’d been stuck on bed rest for just over two weeks. It already seemed like a lifetime. She’d gotten tired of watching T.V, had completed her cross-stitching, and had played so many games of solitaire that she never wanted to see a deck of cards again. She’d gotten so bored that she’d taken to trying to learn how to tie knots.

Of course, when Luke had seen what she was doing, he’d pointed it out that the knots that she was making were more of a mess than anything else. He then set about to teach her how to tie some of the knots that he’d learned in the Marines. Kira could tell that he’d gotten a big charge teaching her what he knew. He wasn’t that bad of a teacher either. He taught her how to tie about a dozen different types of knots. Luke pointed out that you never knew when you might need a good knot; especially on a farm. Though many of the knots that Luke taught her she believed that he was just showing off. Each of the Duke men had points of pride that they held on to and held over the others. With Bo, it was driving. With Luke, it was his quick thinking and his time in the Marines. Of course he and Vance both tended to find ways to work in what they’d learned in the Marines and Merchant Marines into various scrapes and situations.

At least the lesson kept Kira entertained for an afternoon. After Luke left, an evil thought hit her. Maybe she could use this lesson on tying knots to have a little fun. Stashing the bits of rope in her sewing basket, she figured that she may want to practice her knot tying again later.




Lulu finished putting away the sewing machine as Kira held one of the quilts up and looked at it all finished. The two were nearly identical with just a few differences between them. Kira had made a square that had a car matching The General Lee square that Lulu had made. Hers had a blue car on it and instead of having the Battle Flag (AKA The Dixie Flag) on top that was designed by General P.G.T. Beauregard, (Kira wondered if that’s where Bo got his name) it had the “Stars and Bars” design by Nicola Marshall. So one car was heading off into battle while the other had the Confederacy’s National Flag instead. She wasn’t sure where the idea came from. It just seemed to fit. The other fellas were always at war with Boss it seemed like, but with the babies, she hoped that Jebb wouldn’t be quite so willing to go charging off at every drop of the hat. So one quilt had The General on it and the other had the yet to be named car on it.

Lulu asked if she needed help with the matching curtains but Kira told her that Daisy had already taken the extra material and was running them up herself. With the nursery almost finished, Kira had no idea how she’d pass her time now until the babies were born. She’d finished all of her books and Daisy had even picked up a couple more for her. Those were on infant care. It still felt odd to know that she was about to have two babies of her very own and she’d never even held a baby before. She was glad that she’d have so many people to help her learn what she needed as she went. She hoped that she’d learn fast. Despite the fact that she was bored out of her mind, she wasn’t sure if she should be hoping that time would pass quickly or not. Once they were here, there was no more time to catch up to the learning curve.

Not to mention, there probably wouldn’t be time for a lot of things at first. Glancing toward her locked office door (to which Jebb had the key as insurance that she wasn’t sneaking in to get any work done) she admitted that she probably won’t even give a second thought to most of the things that had seemed so important to her only a year ago. This time last year, she’d been put on the roller coaster of her life. Trying to sort out having a family and learning that her longtime boyfriend was also a cousin; only to run off and elope weeks later despite the fact that the marriage would be hard for a lot of people to accept.

Now, Kira was so glad that she had. Kira sat back and rubbed her stomach to settle the twins down since they seemed to be reacting to her pensive mood. Looking out the window, she watched as Jebb pulled in from a trip to town to get some groceries. Well, she might as well make the most of the time she and Jebb had before the twins were born.




Jebb was still asleep when Kira woke up the next morning. That opportunity was too much to pass up on. She figured that this might be a good time to practice using some of those knots that she’d been learning to tie. Getting everything ready, Kira set to give Jebb a wakeup call, and not the kind that you get when you stay in a hotel, either. Starting at his neck, Kira started to leave kisses and nips along a very slow path downward. By the time she’d gotten to his chest, nipping at his nipples, both Jebb and his member was starting to stir.

“Uhh… Kira... What did I do to earn this kind of treat this morning?”

“Just by being you.” Kira grinned as she continued down her path. Enjoying how his stomach muscles jumped as she teased him. When Jebb went to move his hand to her hair, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move either of them. In fact they were both tied over his head onto the headboard.

“Hey! What’s this?”

“Well, you’ve been such a tease lately, I thought I’d see how you like being on the receiving end of it for a while.” Kira dipped her tongue into Jebb’s belly button as she spoke. “And I figured that you might like to know how it feels to not be able to get up out of bed when you want.” She nipped him on his hip bone as he continued to test the ropes. Where’d she learn how to tie these knots? He went camping with her once and she couldn’t tie a knot to save her life. “Going somewhere?” Kira smirked to herself as continued to lavish attention to the lower half of Jebb’s anatomy without actually touching the one part that was practically screaming for attention.

“Kira, you’re driving me crazy.”

“That’s the idea, Sweetness.” Kira laughed to herself when she heard Jebb take in a breath when she breathed hotly onto the still neglected member. “Something wrong?”

“Come on, Kira. This is torture.”

Kira worked her way back up until she could capture his lips to silence him. Of course that didn’t mean that she stopped teasing him. HER hands weren’t tied, after all. This was too fun. She didn’t know why she hadn’t done this before. Especially after all that joking about how he might have to tie HER down to keep her in bed until the babies are born.

“Turnabout is fair play. You’ve been teasing me for weeks. Taking me right up to the edge.”

“Not my fault you’re not allowed to ...” Jebb hitched his breath trying to keep from pleading with his wife. “That you’re not allowed to have an orgasm.”

“No, but you’ve been enjoying it just a little too much.” Kira leaned back in for another kiss. Following a similar path from earlier, from trailing down his jaw line, sucking the hollow in his neck, nipping at every divot of his abs until once again, she was where Jebb really wanted her to be. When she finally took him in her mouth, Jebb let out a deep growl. And here his friends had said that this sort of thing ended once you were married. Man was he glad that they were all wrong. He closed his eyes as he was transported to Heaven. It had never felt so good before. Kira knew him as well as he knew her. She knew EXACTLY what he liked her to do. Just before he felt like he was going to explode, Kira suddenly sat up. “Alright, I’m done. I think I’ll get ready to head on downstairs for the day. Come down as soon as you work your way free.”

“What?” Kira laughed out loud as Jebb once again fought the ropes. “You can’t be serious?” Kira move slightly away over to the edge of the bed.

“Why not? You mean you don’t like being left hanging like that? What’s wrong? You can dish it out but can’t take it?”

“Come on Kira, this isn’t fair.” Jebb complained still trying to get loose. “Come back. I promise no more teasing, unless you want me too.”

Kira loved having Jebb beg her for release. Kira moved back over to Jebb and moved her hands over him to tease him all over again. Again, she nipped, suckled, licked and kissed her way down. She’d had a lot of time to think about what she’d do this morning. She wasn’t going to waste her opportunity. It was as if she was trying to memorize Jebb’s body as if she’d never had seen or touched it before. This time when he felt the impending explosion build up, Kira didn’t leave. When Jebb collapsed back against the mattress, Kira climbed back up beside Jebb.

“You got off easy. I should have left you up here once I got you worked up.”

“You going to untie me now?” Jebb said after he caught his breath.

“I don’t know. I think I like you like this. And I KNOW that YOU enjoyed yourself.” Kira giggled as he gave her a look. “We’ll have to do this again sometime.” Not bothering to hide her grin, Kira untied Jebb from the headboard. Once both hands were free, he grabbed his wife turned over so that she was under him.

“You think you’re real cute don’t you?” Jebb leaned in to give Kira a passionate kiss.

“Are you going to deny that you enjoyed it?” Kira returned the kiss and ran her hands through Jebb’s hair.

“Just wait until I get you back.”

“I look forward to it.” Kira giggled again as she started to imagine the next time she could get Jebb all tied up.
