Elly May Duke

Later Bo and Luke came to check on them "So how's our girls today?" Luke asked.

Enos shrugged "Well, like Shakespeare said in sonnet 116 that basically if we have true love that nothing will change it."

Lily just cried as her mama held her.

Enos could only smile.

Suddenly Lily felt bad. She bit her lip and sat down, leaning against the wall "Like I said mama I'm sorry. I'm willing to admitt that I almost killed my own sister for no reason."

Enos blushed but ran a hand through her hair "The only thing that matters is that I love you and Cherry has two people who love her."

"But I still did it. No amount of forgiving will change that." Lily was far too insistent and it bothered Daisy.

Enos nodded "I see. I see what you mean, but don't worry Daisy, you could never make me feel like that. I know how much. . .you are just so loving."

"No it's not mom! Don't you see!? I almost killed my little sister!" Lily sobbed "I need help mom and bad."

Enos nodded and suddenly a thought came to him "It's hard for you to leave them isn't it?" he asked symphathetically.

"Exactly mom! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!!" Lily screamed causing Andrea to start crying.

Enos nodded "It ain't Uncle Jesse is it?" he asked knowing how much the man meant to her "Is it Bo and Luke?" (I couldn't get my pics up. I'll try later)

Enos kissed her cheek and nodded "Well just know that I love you. I always have and always will."

Enos smiled "Daisy, I can't help it, but I have this thought that you had a horrible night."

Lily pushed Daisy away and leaned against the wall "Yes it was! I. . .I don't know how, but I . . .I threw somethin at her and. . .what happend."

Lily tried to choke back her tears "I can't mom. . .I'm terrible. . .It's my fault Andrea lost her eye. . .I can't explain how it happend really, but it was my fault."

Enos, of course knew this and it pained him in the morning when he noticed how little sleep she'd gotten. (have a pic of Elly and a pic of Daisy if ya want me to post 'em)

All night she laid awake thinking of all that was going on around her.

Lily looked down ashamed "No, it's not mom. I need to learn to shut up and behave. You and dad are so much more wonderful parents than I could have ever prayed or even hoped for."

Soon all was quiet as the three of them were in bed.

Lily looked scared "Are you alright mom?" she asked "Mom I'm so sorry about the way I was acting. I am a brat." (Sorry about not comin on yesterday. I got logged out and couldn't remember my password. Hope I can spend newyears eve with all my fellow hazzardites. Oh and I'll be posting a new picture or two if y'all wanna look at)

Daisy smiled "Well you'll be great whenever you do."

"Andrea's gonna be all right mama." Lily said, sure of nothing was absolutely the tone in her voice

Daisy smiled and kissed him "About you being a marksman."

Daisy turned away as doc put the needle for the medicine in.
