How was he to make responsible, logical decisions with his baby brother critically lying there on the floor right there in front of him. Little Joe snapped himself out of his man-made fog and dragged his feet slowly back over to the chopping block. Adam listen. Striving to lift himself up on his good elbow Joe found it difficult to focus. Adam?. He held out his hands in front of him, slowly glanced down and became entranced with what he saw. Why? He asked. It hadnt been long after Little Joes birth. 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. Little Joe youre okay. Not you and that scrawny body of yours. Get him off me! Now hallucinating, Joe still saw his right arm being swallowed by a massive hand. So much blood, pa, and I didnt know what to do. Tears began to roll down his cheek as he stared at Ben. Ben had been laid up for months, waiting for the bruises and broken bones to heal. He then turned to Hoss. Noooo!- How? David suddenly went into an uncontrollable fit of rage tossing Joe sideways to the ground, where he landed amidst the broken glass from his mothers picture. As he lay on his bed listening Joe had cringed at Adams last comment, feeling both hurt and angry. She wasmy.. mother. 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. Mine. Ben dragged a chair over and placed it at the end of the bed. I think your right. He agreed. Attempting to concentrate at his desk reviewing some last minute paper work, Ben glanced up at Adam. And just how, with these two giants in his home? The most beautiful dress for my beautiful wife.. David slung his arm around his sons broad shoulder. The last time I saw that expression on him was when Marie died. He gently placed his hand on Bens shoulder. What had just happened? Who? David began to drink heavily. Joe, we have something for you. As his family surrounded him, Adam handed him a wrapped package. It's up to the youngest Cartwright's family to help him recover from the ordeal. Ben I think you and Hoss should have a seat as well.. Joe, its meIm here Joe. Adam was quick to collect himself and tend to his little brother ,however, there was no response. Story One: My Responsibility . Im glad he turned to Adam, but at the same time, I felt Hoss loss just as much as he did. The family group hug was the icing on the cake. You caught the men who did this to your brother. Joe what do they want her body for? Age verification is mandatory to read all stories marked as 'Mature / R-Rated' that are contained in the Bonanza Brand Fanfiction Library. He shook his head violently, firmly rubbed his forehead as he took in a deep breath. The only thing wrong with himhes young. Adam knew Joe would grow up soon, Adam just wanted it sooner rather than later. Ad-am help me, pl-ease., Joe, Im here buddy, Adams eyes flew open. He was cold, wet and clammy with sweat beading across his brow as his breathing was becoming labored. Thats mine! Joes thoughts reeled as he realized Dax was clinging to his his mothers picture. This suddenly gave way to a sense of horror and anger as he was viciously pulled into a sitting position with his back resting against the desk and heated eyes staring at him. I believe if it wasnt for Dubois finding his son with this, Joe would be a goner. He slowly handed Ben Maries slightly wrinkled picture as he scanned each mans watery eyes. Easy Joe., At a snails pace, Joe turned his head, showing his joyless face to his brother. Help! Joe began to slowly stir as he cried out in pain, waking Ben. 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 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. Little Joe, you alright? A wave of concern stopped Hoss in his tracks. 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. So much sjs! Son dont blame yourself. Adam, where are you? Who is she? You never appreciated her. Little Joe eat breakfast. Slightly hunched he shuffled into the room. Night Pa. Shaking his head, Adam reluctantly followed. Go and get some cold water quick, and towels please. The panicked expression on his face said it all. Eventually, over time, they healed. Their answer, lying just about in front of them on the floor, paralyzed them momentarily. 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. Yes, he would have made her proud. Joe Cartwright shrunk below his normal height at the sound of his father's voice. Work Search: Maybe it has to do with me being the oldest. They wouldnt, would they? Little Joe yelled out my namehe called for me to help him, and I didnt! Adam cried out in frustration. Ma-ma, ma-ma, mama. Hurts Adam! Tears began to slide down his cheek. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE PASSWORD. Hed been playing checkers with his Pa on the front porch, when Maries horse had reared up, throwing her to the hard ground, rendering her unconscious. Hey buddy, come on. Adam tried this time, while the doc continued to change the dressing. Youll be alright, Joe. Ben I need you and the boys to promise me you will not go anywhere near the jail right now. There was a long pause as they all frowned and gave hasty nods. Nooooo! Joe weakly screamed as he had no fight left in him for the attack on his body almost paralyzed him. Sure. When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle all the night. Marie smiled as the five- year- olds tired green eyes met hers. His wounded body now drenched with sweat was soaking the covers. She is my mother! That was the last straw. Then gigantic hands latched onto Joes tan shirt. Our place is here, with Little Joe.. Ben glanced over at Hoss, and with raised eyebrows answered. 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. Doc Martin did an excellent job with the sutures on his face for the scar was barely noticeable. Love At First Sight. Well, as comfortable as he could be. I bet youre really not able to do a mans job around here. Pa, do you mind if I stay here with Joe.alone? Without waiting for an answer, he moved to the chair, pulled it closer to the bed and sat down. Ben walked back to his chair beside Joes bed. I can see myself out, Sure. Puzzled, he stood and shook the docs hand. Finally, Adam allowed Ben to pull him slowly back toward Little Joes bed. You two heard what the sheriff said.. Joes position was making it challenging for the men to treat him. How come he had dallied on the way home? I am looking for a Ben Cartwright. The deep raspy voice demanded. Im sorry., Your brother is young and strong. the Doc responded without looking up. She will be with us, so dont you worry, The older man explained as he took another swig and continued to reassure the his son. Marie had been unaware of his existence, as he would sit in the far corner drinking alone while listening to Marie De Marigny tell her stories. 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. Come on kid wake up. He gently stroked the young mans dark curls. He slowly lowered his body down beside his young son and began cooling Joes forehead with a wet cloth. , That monkey pick your French quarter mother gave you.. Little Joe can you hear me? He gently tapped the right side of his face. A tiny smile appeared while he visualized his mother sitting in the rocker. Ben, I have to leave. Sure. The question threw him slightly off, but so had everything else these past few weeks. There we are. He finished. Try to get some rest. Joes eyes were already closed, however, not before Adam could see the fear and sadness in them. Maybe you didnt hear me. The mans enormous hand just about surrounded Joes throat while the pressure choked him, Where is my Marie? It was becoming very evident just how annoyed and determined this man was. No clouds in the sky that might cast any funny shadows. Flashes of red were appearing in front of him. So, No! What was I thinking? Pa, I dont know what came over me. Not you! Dubois wiped the bloodstained blade onto Joes already soiled shirt and placed it back in its sheath. It just makes me wonder just how ready is he to be left alone to take care of the ranch. He stopped and glanced back at his father. Within seconds of hearing pounding hooves and the rumbling buckboard, Charlie glanced up to see Adam charge through the front door. Required fields are marked *. Oh Joe there was so much blood just like He paused and slowly blinked as he glanced over at Little Joe. Adam help! He tightly closed his eyes as he squirmed in the bed in an attempt to free himself from his imagined attacker. I didnt understand. Adam slouched forward as he looked up at Ben. Oww!. That means youve got part of the responsibility of running this ranch, same as Pa and Hoss and me.. Pa, do you really think he is that responsible?. I have one more bandage to change and then Im done.. "episode," is set probably somewhere in between seasons eight and nine of Bonanza. I love how you show Adam as the very loving and caring big brother, great story!!!! Come on buddy, stay with me. Reaching down he grasped his brothers limp, bloody hand. Easy kiddo. Still cradling Joe against his chest with one arm, Adam brushed his younger brothers hair back with his free hand. I love, son. He continued to try to cool the boy down. You dont deserve to look like her.Joe heard an annoying echoing in his head as the doc slowly took the dressing off. He was to be her son, not you! Pa, his fever seems to be down. Hoss explained. Little Joe was speechless, however, words were not needed to see just how much he appreciated what they had done. Joes heart beat faster and faster, as he struggled for an escape, any escape. David and his wife encountered many challenges with Dax from the day he was born, but the most demanding one they faced was that he wouldnt be able to go to school with other kids his age for his mentality level was far below theirs. The realization of what happened to his little brother hit him smack in the face. Jimmy, I will need you to stay here with Charlie and the doc. With somber eyes he turned toward Hank who was still standing behind the settee. Just when was the right time to tell him? Shhhh! He has a fever and we need to cool him down. He motioned to Hoss. With a lowered head he moved back into position and began swinging the ax again. 14 year old Joe Cartwright was just trying to do something nice for a friend.
