Id like to be alone with Joe. He continued to tend to his patienthis brother. That was not the answer the older man wanted. Thank you. With somber eyes he shook his old friends hand then glanced back at Hoss. Hank I need you to go and get some water boiling. Slow your breathing buddy. He was afraid of me., You have to give him time, son. This wasnt easy for Ben. Did you get them ? Ben anxiously asked . Its okay, Joe. Adam! . My mama Well, with a little coaxing, a very drunk Dubois confessed as to why he came here. The sheriff looked at each of them in turn. Little Joe - factor: Bonanza Boards. Stories written by fans of the TV series Bonanza. Hoss, you cant take this personally. He tried to make eye contact but failed. Who are you? Ben had insisted on buying Marie the finest dress. As she tucked their little tike in, Marie kissed him on his cheek.Sleep well my Little Star! Turning to Ben she said, Oh Ben, I hope he grows up to be just like you., Ben pulled her close. 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. You dont deserve to look like her. His shoulder is going to take awhile to heal. He took in a deep breath. I need you. He unfortunately was also devious and prone to avoiding work whenever possible. You dont deserve to look like her. Ahhhh! Joe cried out as his now beaten body had all but given up. Ad-am? With his eyes barely open Little Joe slowly scanned each one carefully, making sure he wasnt dreaming. Suddenly there was pain excruciating pain. I promised you and I will keep my promise, however, we may have to rent a buckboard now., Injured and disoriented , Joe wasnt sure if what he was listening to was correct. Cringing and holding on to his injured side, Joe tried to position himself to get a clear view of where his assailants were. Adam lowered his head and firmly rubbed his brow. The strangers so-called boy looked more like an ape sitting atop what seemed to be a draft horse. Come to think of it, Adams attitude toward him had changed quite a bit in the past month, and this confused Joe. It hurt bad, his stomach began to churn. I need to go with the Sheriff, too. The inner voices within his head continued to persistently whisper, giving him an intense headache. On the other hand would he be less of a man doing this? Hoss, North and South (by Writing Woman) . His family watched from the buggy, giving Little Joe a private moment. M-M-Ma A tiny tear rolled down the young mans face as his sad eyes met his fathers. He does still have one, but it isnt nearly as high. But the only problem is that it's not. . His Marie? Adam?. PT means the story is post-timeline. Its still playtime with that body. He laughed. Only use it if necessary, and keep those cool towels on him. Lets go get your mother. And then they were gone. S-he died when I was five years old. With flared nostrils he answered, fighting back tears at the memory. Ben gently placed his hand on Adams shoulder. Shhh, take it easy. No sensible person would dig up someones grave Right? Using his right arm, Joe managed to prop himself up and leaned back against the desk. As your bright and tiny spark, Lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star. 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. Joe, its me son, Ben sat on the bed next to Little Joe, trying to reassure his son. Sure. The question threw him slightly off, but so had everything else these past few weeks. Sudden fear built up within Joe as his body began to tense. Oww! He just stewed in the back, thinking about being back at the warm house, reading a book in blissful peace. What was he so afraid of? It seemed hours had passed before the three men had Joe bundled up in towels and blankets. Thats my boy. Hed only been five-years-old and couldnt really understand why Marie had gone away. Hes my brother. How about a buggy ride? Adam interrupted him. She. Joes in good hands., Sure! Adam wiped his face on his forearm sleeve and began to exit through the door, but not before one last word. Im so sorry I wasnt there for you when you needed me. How are you feeling, buddy? Now seated next to Joe, Adam was anxious to find out. Im sorry as I know it is a bit late, but I was in the area. He shook Bens hand then set his medical bag down on the night stand and proceeded to pull out his stethoscope. He never ment to treat Little Joe that way. He has a fever and we need to cool him down. He motioned to Hoss. He knew it was true, but, Little Joe would never knowingly treat Hoss that way. It was a chore for Joe just to try to catch his breath. Your father didnt deserve her, and had no right taking her from us. Even now, all these years later, the scene was so vivid every time he played it back in his mind. Adam help! He tightly closed his eyes as he squirmed in the bed in an attempt to free himself from his imagined attacker. Shhh. Dark Eyes. He remembered the time when Adam had come came his bed after his mother died to sleep with him to keep the nightmares away. Squeeze my hand Joe, come on. There was no reaction. I tried over the years to keep you out of trouble and I suppose I have. Ya gotta wake up, kid. he continued to try to rouse him. Dubois firmly gripped Joes blood-soaked shirt with both hands, dragged him to his knees and demanded, Im running outta patience with you, boy! Ma-maAd-am! Joes breathing automatically began to quicken as he spoke. But Adams mind briefly played tricks on him for he saw straight through the dressings and was visualizing blood.lots of blood. He was tired, so tired. The tears flowed down his face and lightly wet the pillow. For that, I am sorry. His heavy eyelids finally closed and although his heart was in the right place, realized here is where The end didnt justify the means. But he knew with the help of his family,Joe would get through this. My mother. Summary: When Ben decides to marry again for the fourth time, things as they had always been suddenly start going haywire, especially for Little Joe. Adam never took much notice when he was with Hoss because Hoss never got lost. The wound on his side was no doubt getting worse, and he most likely had some broken ribs due to his intruders beatings. I miss her, Joe, just like you do, and I didnt want to disappoint her. Adam leaned forward and whispered into his brothers ear. Ahhhh! Joe let out a weak cry as the weight of his body pushed the sharp shards further into his back. Doc, whats wrong with him? Ben asked. About 6,700 words, or maybe a little more. Thats it buddy. He knelt down by the side of the bed. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Wildflowers Adam knew were what she and Joe had picked every summer. Joe I have been so disrespectful of you recently. The wounds have been oozing and a bit foul. You must eat.. The wounds on his back from the glass will heal fine as will the scratches on his chest. Come on you can do it. Yes, he would have made her proud. He was seated on the floor over by the desk, Son? Breathing itself was painful. You did the best you could. What do you think that was all about asked Hank as he, too attempted to calm his horse. Ben, I mean it, I need your word. He was very adamant. the blood that had surrounded her head while she lie on the ground, so still. Adams chest was still a replacement pillow for Joe as his arms carefully supported his younger brother. Deborah almost collapsed with relief and sat heavily on the side the bed, taking Melinda's narrow hand in hers. They not only looked like twins they dressed alike also. David had been at a loss, and became a regular at the Rue Royal. Uh Charlie, Hank froze just as hed begun getting to his feet, pulling his hand away from Joes back to find it bloodied with a fresh cut. Come on Joe this is nonsense and you have a lot of work to do.. Hurts Adam! Tears began to slide down his cheek. Let me go! A Increase font size. The most beautiful dress for my beautiful wife.. The night before, Adam had been pacing the floor not at all comfortable with this set up. He heaved a deep sigh and continued. Joe stopped swinging for a moment as he searched his thoughts for reasons. Joe, wait.Adam reached in the back of the buggy and handed him a large bouquet of wildflowers. Oww! Moving his left arm was a bad decision as he soon found out and a bolt of lightening pain was sent through his left shoulder and down the arm. There was no denying they were father and son. Dark figures hovered over him while red raindrops began falling. He pushed his brows together, then quickly raised and lowered them as he slowly accepted the gift.. Why would they want to give me a present at this time? You dont deserve to look like her. God, I should have been here. 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. Martin said. His voice was very weak and shaky, however, Joe was persistent. Silent screams were locked in Joes head as monstrous shadows surrounded him. Dax come here. After motioning to his son, he ran his dirty sleeve across his moist forehead. Hes real bad Adam, and if we dont stop this bleeding His voice cracked and cut off as he immediately turned his focus back toward Joe. Can you, My ma-ma. Joe was struggling to speak as he looked at his brother. Come on son.. 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. You hear me?, Hank, go find some towels we have to stop the bleeding. Charlie was nervous and couldnt believe what he what seeing. Please hurry. Im cold, Adam so cold. There wasnt a place on his body that didnt hurt. Try to get some rest. Joes eyes were already closed, however, not before Adam could see the fear and sadness in them. Oww!, Easy, buddy, Hoss jumped in. It's up to the youngest Cartwright's family to help him recover from the ordeal. Yeah, we did. He sighed. Little Joe eat breakfast. Slightly hunched he shuffled into the room. Why was he allowing himself to look possibly at making a mountain out of a mole hill? Adam? Ben hurried through the door followed by Hoss. Adam, is he okay?, Ad-am .hurts. It's clear that the 15 year old has been hurt in many ways. Hey buddy, come on. Adam tried this time, while the doc continued to change the dressing.
