Finally, Adam allowed Ben to pull him slowly back toward Little Joes bed. Easy.. Joe I have been so disrespectful of you recently. Open it.. Joe, that is when I realized I had gone too far. Father and son placed their cups on the table as they headed toward the door to grab their hats. Joe stopped swinging for a moment as he searched his thoughts for reasons.

With somber eyes he shook his old friends hand then glanced back at Hoss. His hands were red and wet. As he lay on his bed listening Joe had cringed at Adams last comment, feeling both hurt and angry. It was very evident to them that Adam was distant, distraught, tired and dirtyyes he needed a bath. Your father didnt deserve her, and had no right taking her from us. Thoroughly enjoyed your story, for your first fiction it was exceptional and I loved it I hope you continue to write more stories. Joe Cartwright shrunk below his normal height at the sound of his father's voice. Stay with me. Please consider turning it on! Ben walked over to his middle son and bent down. Mama, he whispered. He was hurt, helpless, angry and now more afraid for his life than ever. Lets go get your mother. And then they were gone. Never! Joe was not going to give him the satisfaction and show him just how frightened he was . Ben, I have never seen such huge men. He glanced over his shoulder at Hoss. Oh, Paul! No money is being made from this work. Hurts.. You did what you had to, Ben repeated. The thundering vibration he heard and felt confirmed his nightmare as a large blurry figure sprinted toward him. Ben finished collecting the papers, began to neatly place them into his saddlebags and slowly rose from his chair. What a great story, a lot of emotions, sad and Happy. Anger inside him was mixed with fear, fear that he would never reveal. Hank handed him some towels and between the two of them, they began tending to Little Joes wounds as they needed to get the bleeding under control. Joe? Good. His nostrils flared while trying to fight back the tears. Voices, he heard voices. The most beautiful dress for my beautiful wife.. Wrapped up in his memories, Davids focus was on Dax. David noticed it was a picture of Marie. He held out his hands in front of him, slowly glanced down and became entranced with what he saw. Hurts. His ribs were going to take awhile to heal. Adam couldnt imagine what his little brother had just gone through and just who was capable of such a heinous act. Just the thought of Little Joe wanting to open up brought light into his heart and a tear to his eye as he stepped out. Nooooo! Joe weakly screamed as he had no fight left in him for the attack on his body almost paralyzed him. Ben, I think Joe is lucky to be alive after seeing these two giants. His pacing halted when he stood in front of Ben. Ben C., Adam C., Hoss C., Little Joe C. - Chapters: 3 - Words: 8,462 - Reviews: . Hank I need you to go and get some water boiling. Come on kid wake up. He gently stroked the young mans dark curls. Sudden fear built up within Joe as his body began to tense. He could have died, pa! Shhhh, your gonna be okay son. Ben tried desperately to calm the agitated young man. Staring fiercely into Joes widened green eyes the man shouted, Just how old are you boy?. Answer me boy! He continued as he and Hoss carefully pulled Joes wet pants off while Ben was ready with a clean pair. Little Joe was miserably lost in his thoughts as he now sat atop his horse nursing his sore hand but not so much so that he didn't notice someone dart behind a stand of bushes in the distance. Come to think of it, Adams attitude toward him had changed quite a bit in the past month, and this confused Joe. His large statue leaned forward as his hands were clasped together. Slow your breathing buddy. ! he struggled to yell. As usual, he began with Joes side. Pa?Hey, Pa! Joe cautiously lifted his eye lids and stared straight past his father who sat in the chair beside him. The guy was huge, bigger than Hoss and as rugged looking as they come. Pa what do you think is going on? Hoss asked. There was no denying they were father and son. His heart was pounding now, echoing through his head while tears escaped from his eyes. Night Pa. Shaking his head, Adam reluctantly followed. Hey brother, you ready to go? Adam was already seated in the buggy. It seems to me he was responsible enough to get up early on his own to get the job done. Crying on someones shoulder? Its Adam.. Come on son.. Ad-am! He was hurting, and feverish, but had seemed to be coming back to them. I .wont ..let.. you ..take. Im here, Joe., Adam, why? The seventeen-year-old kid was now searching, asking for answers from his older brother. Little Joe, you alright? A wave of concern stopped Hoss in his tracks. Do you hear me, boy? The angered man kicked Joe hard in the back of the legs rolling him onto his stomach. A Decrease font size. Replaying yesterdays events in his mind, Little Joe clutched the ax tightly in his hands and slammed it into the wood. They took it. Adams shirt was now wet with his little brothers tears. It wasnt easy, but Hoss understood just by seeing the scene that was playing out across the room. He also saw just how bad Joe was, but please be patient with him, as I saw just how traumatic it was for him to see what happened to Joe. He continued. 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. Almost done, Joe. Doc Martin tried to comfort Joe. How dare I say that about Marie after all she did for us for me. I need you to get over here so I can get some answers out of this piece of trash. The man stared back at Joe with the look of Satan in his eyes. Ben, I mean it, I need your word. He was very adamant. A careless mess. They said it was his fault, too.. Ben sat on the side of the bed while Hoss chose the large wing back chair by the window. Not his. The cloud burst as streams of tears lined his cheeks. Youre safe, Joe.. Your Pas here., Im here Joe. Ben became surprised as to how alert his youngest son had suddenly become. David staggered as he stood. M-Ma Dax pointed to the picture. Fine sir. Puzzled, Adam eyes met Bens and Hosss. He knew Ben hated him to be late. A few stray rays of light filtered through the branches and began to warm the ground where Joe stood. You dont even deserve to look like her! With that he once again whipped out his knife from its sheath, grabbed a handful of Joes hair and yanked his head backward and to the side. A few tears leaked out as he continued, while looking Adam in the eye. Its okay. AHHHHHH! Joe wailed as fire immediately erupted at the site of his injury. Where? 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. He didnt notice Joe stirring.

He placed another log and swung even harder than before. It was obvious how they all were affected and how they all knew they had once again come together as a family, to not only help Little Joe but each other deal with what had happened. Adam, stop! Ben had a pretty good idea of his oldest boys intentions, however, needed to confirm his suspicions. You sleep now buddy. Adam slowly and carefully made himself comfortable, until he fell asleep, as he cradling his little brother. Easy now.. Um, well Im his son. It's up to the youngest Cartwright's family to help him recover from the ordeal. The attack, Ben. He stood up, cracked his back and walked over to face Joe. Firmly pressing his hands on the desk, he leaned over, facing his father. Hoss and I were without a mother for too long and when Marie came along it was like she was our own mother and she took us under her gentle wing without question. His shoulder still hurt like hell. Why Joe, and why Marie? Adam briefly pinched his eyes closed as a full plate of emotions were building within him. Pa? he repeated as a tear slipped out. Dax seemed oblivious.

He interrupted his brother. Dax you spokeyou spoke Dax. David slowly knelt down beside his son and hugged him. He has broken pieces of glass in his back., Ma-ma Half-conscious, Joe spoke letting out a soft moan as he trembled and squirmed. Heck they had both apologized right? Joe was getting nervous, but there was no way he was going to admit to his brothers that he didn't know where they were. The moment he pushed himself to his feet the room began to spin while pain radiated through his body. Why? He asked. Easy buddy. Adam was perplexed. He had been the one lately who Joe had been out with, working fences and finding strays. I..I..Im seventeen. Joe was struggling to keep his toes touching the ground. Adam, is he okay?, Ad-am .hurts.
