He is young and strong, but still a very sick boy. What is this idiot talking about? In between gasps Joe blurted out, Shes dead. Sure. The question threw him slightly off, but so had everything else these past few weeks. His shoulder is going to take awhile to heal. He took in a deep breath. Nooo!

What wrong Joe?, Adam, I need to talk about what happened and its not just the injuries. Searching for the right words he began fidgeting with the sling which was still supporting his left arm. He really didnt know where to start. He was still sore but, had cabin fever. Adam, it hurts so much. Adam, Im sorry. This should have been a red flag for him to just to lay still. Pa, whats going on?

Little Joe snapped himself out of his man-made fog and dragged his feet slowly back over to the chopping block. Yes sir! The three boys cheerfully shouted. Shed even paid for Davids journey west, determined to go to any lengths to destroy Marie. The strangers so-called boy looked more like an ape sitting atop what seemed to be a draft horse. He staggered as he bent over Joe, who now lay in agony and bleeding from his side as well as his shoulder. Come to think of it, Adams attitude toward him had changed quite a bit in the past month, and this confused Joe. Joe swallowed and answered, Well, Im sorry but hes not here right now., The man took a half a turn to the right, My boy and I have some business with him. Mama ma-ma mama.ma-mamama. The words barely escaped his slightly ajar mouth as he began to call for his mother, almost expecting her to come. The guy was huge, bigger than Hoss and as rugged looking as they come. I am sorry, Joe. Please come home! When Hop Sing returns, I will never complain about his cooking again. Joe took a big bite and began strolling out of the kitchen toward the table, but before he could sit down there was a hard persistent knock at the door. Pa, there was so much blood, he began. I know it is time consuming and takes a lot of work. He couldnt concern himself with that now for he really needed Adam. Easy Joe., At a snails pace, Joe turned his head, showing his joyless face to his brother. Who is she? Why? Hoss and Ben were just as confused as to what was going on, however, were beginning to surmise it all tied to those men. Staring fiercely into Joes widened green eyes the man shouted, Just how old are you boy?. We need to keep that fever down., Yes, of course. Mama, he whispered. Late again, he thought. I cant explain it, but it was obvious that Adam was somewhere else. Little Joe suddenly froze. Who is your mother? The stranger demanded while shaking Joe. As he lay there, his vision blurred, he tried to focus on a retreating figure as another was coming into play. The only conversation heard within the buggy was small-talk, for Little Joe seemed preoccupied with his surroundings as though it were the very first time he had been to the Ponderosa, but instead of feeling hurt, angry or scared, he was remembering and appreciating its beauty, its memoriesHis family. Joseph. Ben called out to his youngest son now sitting on the settee. I am so sorry. He sat up and gripped the younger mans hand. Joe, its meIm here Joe. Adam was quick to collect himself and tend to his little brother ,however, there was no response.

They flew right past us, but I can tell you this, they were some pretty hefty guys, he said as he tossed away a soiled, bloody towel while Hank painstakingly pulled the visible small pieces of glass from Joes back, simultaneously holding a towel to his wounded shoulder. A Reset font size. Only use it if necessary, and keep those cool towels on him. Little Joe knew he had to tell someone about the nightmares that had been plaguing him and how he had come to realize how it was affecting his relationship with his family. Pa, can I have a drink? Joe was beginning to feel better. Lets go home boys. Little Joe clutched his side, as his contracting muscles began pulling on his abdomen and chest, making it harder to breath. Although he fully understood that the fewer setbacks Little Joe had hopefully the quicker he would healemotionally. Lots of drama and trauma for our handsome Joe. What was I thinking? Noonooo He only paused for a fraction of a second, then, scraping every ounce of energy he had left, Joe screamed , Noooo! as he slowly rose and awkwardly ran toward them ready to fight. You dont deserve to look like her. Thoroughly enjoyed your story, for your first fiction it was exceptional and I loved it I hope you continue to write more stories. Oh, my God Joe!Adam squeezed himself onto the bed next to Joe, and pulled him close to allow his little brothers head to rest on his chest. Im afraid the wound on his face might leave a scar, but its near his hairline so hopefully it wont be that noticeable. He decided that is exactly what he had to do. Joesph., The three men in the room simultaneously glanced at each other with a puzzled look. Who are you? Joe its Charlie. Love all adam/Joe hurt stories. They never did find out whod done it,though they all had a pretty good idea. The rocker that gave Joe vague memories of falling asleep in his mothers arms. Hours had passed and every minute still counted. Sh-e f-fell. That was not something he could ever forget. The mans massive body began to tense up, blood began to flow and Joe could detect the redness forming around his scruff of a beard. Where? Joe took a sip of his own coffee. Where should he begin? Little Joe and Hoss walked out and Ben put an arm around Little Joe's shoulders and said, "Little Joe, thank you for helping with Sparky. My ma-ma Joe slightly opened his eyes . S-on, what are you doing? How come he had dallied on the way home? Was Adam really mad at him, or was there just more going on with Adam that he wasnt talking about? His large statue leaned forward as his hands were clasped together. Its gonna be okay Joe. How the hell can someone tell something like that to a kid? With tear filled eyes he glanced down at his little brother then laid his cheek on his curly hair. I got it Pa. Adam didnt even raise his head nor did he make eye contact. As usual, he began with Joes side. Was he really mad at Adam? You got nothing better to do but to play with that?, What chance are you gonna have to use an epee out here in the west?, Youre a Cartwright! You are my Little Star Little Joe. She kissed him on the forehead then glanced out the window at the stars on that clear night. He rolled up his sleeves. Let me go! He yelled as Hosss large hand briefly held Joes good arm. That is far from the truth. So vowing to help his son, hed promised him he would get up enough courage to ask Marie to marry him and then Dax would have a mother who would tell him bedtime stories again, something that had always seemed to suppress his nightmares. He seemed to like you reading to him. Eventually, over time, they healed. Adam, hurts. With his good hand, Joe held his right side. Little Joe is brutally attacked. His labored breathing had to be slowed to ease the pain. Felling better?. Easy.. Even as he grew up, the nickname stuck, and Hoss remained taller and larger than Joe. Sure, the kid could get on his nerves and act immature, like a child at times, but like Pa said, He is only a boy, not a man like you. Hop Sing had returned home and assisted in caring for Little Joe. Little Joe was fond of New Orleans, where his mother was born and lived for most of her life. That means youve got part of the responsibility of running this ranch, same as Pa and Hoss and me.. I wanted to tell pa, but I couldntI just couldnt. His breathing was beginning to slow. Hopefully Pa got the telegraph and will be here soon. Dubois wiped the bloodstained blade onto Joes already soiled shirt and placed it back in its sheath. Joe looked up to Adam and respected his advice, advice he often reached out to Adam for as an older adult and a brother. Adam would take turns with Ben and Hoss, however, as the oldest, Adam automatically took over and was the one who was there at night the most. Ben was slouched back in the chair near the window while early morning rain began tapping at the pane. His sad eyes came in contact with his two brothers. A battle he did not want to lose in his own home and alone. I bet youre really not able to do a mans job around here. Joes fingers remained limp. Doc Martin carefully turned Joes head to the right. He needs me. I love, son. He continued to try to cool the boy down. I know it as you have always had a fight in you, just like your mother. He spoke softly as a glassy sheen formed over his eyes. While there, Adam would also be filling out paperwork at the lawyers office for an upcoming contract. Cleaning up had been the last thing on Adams mind, and both Charlie and Hank were too focused on looking after both Joe and Adam to bother with the mess left behind. Shhhh! First of all, poor Hop Sing had a family emergency while Pa and Hoss had gone to Carson City on business. You dont deserve to look like her.She was just right there almost within his reach, and then .within a split second she was gone. Oh, Marie, I am so sorry. My mother. Breathing itself was painful. The only thing wrong with himhes young. Adam knew Joe would grow up soon, Adam just wanted it sooner rather than later. Joe., Ben, I believe he needs rest. The doc rechecked his patient one last time, closed his medical bag and headed for the door. Now, however, he looked to be in another world. I.I froze. He couldnt hold it in anymore and a single tear slipped down his cheek. Our place is here, with Little Joe.. Yes. Your email address will not be published. He knew Joe couldnt hear him, however, this one sided- conversation was already beginning to soothe his soul. How do they look doc? Ben was eager to find out as he held his sons hand. Adam hehetold me Joe turned his head and began staring at the rocking chair in the corner of his room. Please Adam, Please come home, I need you!. A glance at the window had told him that the sun had changed position. If you proceed you have agreed that you are willing to see such content. A little. His head hurt.
