He knew Adam was his only hope, for Pa and Hoss would be away for a few days. He held out his hands in front of him, slowly glanced down and became entranced with what he saw.

I am keeping my fingers crossed I posted it correctly and you enjoy it. Pa. He placed another log and swung even harder than before.

He wanted to tell his father but, it wasnt just fatherly advice he wanted. Dark figures hovered over him while red raindrops began falling. I might be able to answer that question.. Joes heart beat faster and faster, as he struggled for an escape, any escape. Shhh! One of them was larger than Hoss. he finished as his concerned eyes met Adams. I promise, well get whoever did this to you and save mama. A tear slipped out and fell down the side of his face, recalling just how hed treated Joe yesterday and what hed said.

She would be proud of my Dax, for he is a good boy, and a healthy eater with muscles. Joe, stay with me. What was he so afraid of? Have a seat, Roy., Thanks, Ben.

Like Ben, he, too was worried now for both of his brothers. Sh-e f-fell. That was not something he could ever forget.

With a gloomy look, he stared at Joe as he tried to explain to him the reality of his mothers whereabouts. Not you and that scrawny body of yours. Everyone knows that you dont mess with an angry drunk let alone one twice your size or more. Like a staggering drunk, Joe found it difficult to find his footing. Now where is she?, As pain now ripped through his head, Joe tried, hard as he could, to grab hold of the mans arms in an attempt to get him off, however, the stranger David Dubois -was too strong for him and Dax was now holding Joes legs to prevent him from kicking, so he was really fighting a losing battle. David had been at a loss, and became a regular at the Rue Royal. Close your eyes, Joe.. No clouds in the sky that might cast any funny shadows. Blood oozed from her head, staining the dirt beneath her as she silently lay on the ground.

I just dont know, but what I do know is that I made a mistake, a mistake I intend to fixas your brother. A small tear slipped out. Th-ey..gon-natakemy ma-ma buck-board. His breathing was becoming more labored, and just by looking at his clammy face, it was very clear just how much pain he was in, both physically and now emotionally. He rolled up his sleeves. He was to be her son, not you! He then turned to Hoss. He is in a perfect position for me to check his bandages.. The sheriff needs your help, now.. He just had to pull himself together for his little brotherfor Little Joe. A battle he did not want to lose in his own home and alone. Little Joe didnt even have to ask. Bonanza-Legacy. Ben I think you and Hoss should have a seat as well.. M-Ma Dax pointed to the picture. It had been very easy to connect with Marie and shed quickly accepted the boys as her own. He couldnt stand to see his little brother like this. When a snow cave collapses, trapping his brother and his friends, Sparky knows what to do. Please come home. I think your right. He agreed. Ive got you, Joe.. Where? Joe took a sip of his own coffee. Uh yeah, lets go. Joe breathed in a breath of fresh ai,r remembering what Hop Sing had said to him just a couple of weeks earlier, when hed struggled to approach his father at the desk, his mind taking him back to the far different struggle hed faced at the hands of the monsters in his nightmares. You sure youre okay son? Bens parenting skills were sure being tested now as all three sons required his attention, however, he was a strong man. Adam squeezed his eyes shut and wiped his face with both hands. Can you help me sit up?, Sure. It was painful and slow going but, Adam managed to get him into a comfortable sitting position. Okay, Im done. The doc cleaned up his mess and tools. His shoulder is going to take awhile to heal. He took in a deep breath. He would return home retelling these storing to Dax, however, he never seemed to get it right and the boy would just get frustrated with him. Little Joe cried out. JoeSon. Ben was the first to respond and gently tried to rouse the young trouble man. David noticed it was a picture of Marie. Ad-am hurts?. He was lifted up with ease and tossed against Bens desk with such force Joe was surprised he didnt hear ribs cracking, and he couldnt help but let out a painful cry as he fell to the floor. Youre safe and youre gonna be fine. The rocker that gave Joe vague memories of falling asleep in his mothers arms. I cant just abandon him. He heaved a deep sigh and continued. Overwhelmed with dizziness, nausea was now choking at his throat. Tug of . My ma-ma Joe slightly opened his eyes . Gees. Little Joe eat breakfast. Slightly hunched he shuffled into the room. He knew it was true, but, Little Joe would never knowingly treat Hoss that way. Moments later, Doc Martin was at Joes bedroom door. My.Ma-ma!. A Reset font size. Breathing itself was painful. That means youve got part of the responsibility of running this ranch, same as Pa and Hoss and me.. Hoss, can you take over?. Look at me when I am talking to you. Yes sir! The three boys cheerfully shouted. He reached down to gently lift his younger brother into his arms, and then carried him to the settee. His sad eyes came in contact with his two brothers. Ben, he was lucky that the wound to his abdomen wasnt too deep or it would have been worse. As he pulled the covers up to Joes chest the doc added, he lost a lot of blood, Ben.He turned his attention back to Joe. This is the second time this has happened., Im not sure, but I wouldnt doubt it has to do what happened. Doc. Leaning over Little Joe the hostile intruder yelled, She either was or wasnt your mother, boy, now which is it, answer me! Turning toward the door he called out, Dax where are you son? He wanted to get away from the ranch, even if it was just for a few hours, especially after the confrontation he and Adam had had yesterday. So alone? Its your Pa. He placed the palm of his hand over the young mans forehead and shocked at just how hot he was. Hurts.. Little Joe was fond of New Orleans, where his mother was born and lived for most of her life. Hoss, hot on his heels slammed right into him. Thats my boy. Doc Martin did an excellent job with the sutures on his face for the scar was barely noticeable. If this little wiggle worm would only stay still I wouldnt have to keep re-stitching him. A slight smile formed across his face which lightened the tension in the room. Dubois wiped the bloodstained blade onto Joes already soiled shirt and placed it back in its sheath. Little Joe can you hear me? He gently tapped the right side of his face.
