Jesse: Well you haven't said a word all night baby

Soon Enos came home and Granny, Bo, and the others were over there. . .even Roscoe and Lulu

Enos had to go to work that morning, but Lily helped her mama by keeping an eye on her younger brother and sisters. . .Jesse was asleep in the crib. (brb again)

Jesse: Is it about your Aunt or Enos?

Soon it was Lily's birthday.

Jesse comes over to help her dry them

Lily: *yawns* Yeah *takes Brenna and Andrea's hand while Enos takes Andrew and they go inside*

Bo and Luke go out into the front yard while he does

(they got their hands full. . .in the one that I'm writting the kids are a little more spread out, but for a change Lily is the first one they get) Lily: I know mama

However, Daisy is quiet the whole time and this bothers the boys especially Jesse.

Lily: I hope so. I've been praying about it a lot (funny story a friend of my dad's had a daughter and then they were told they wouldn't have anymore. . .well the girl she started prayin for a brother or sister and she got one. . .he sounds really cool. . .next time they go over I ought to go. . .they're only about nine and four or something, but I like little kids so)

The boys come to the table and they all sit down

Lily: Is he gonna walk mama?

(no. . .the only thing I know I don't like is Chilli . . .not sure why, but other than that I like anything) *soon Daisy has the buiscuits on the table and the table set)

Lily: *nods* Mama. . .is Andrew getting better? I remember Doc said a lot of things about him. . .what about it?

Jesse: Not much. Just help me with the biscits. . .since you three haven't eaten much lately still leftovers (My fav. . .we have them for three or four nights from the same pot of greenbeans or collards.)

Lily: *smiles* And I'll be seven next month. When are the babies birthdays?

(I know, but I could see how it would still be akward) Daisy gets up to help him.

Lily: *nods* I ain't letting nothing happen to them. *grabs Andrew by the shirt who was attempting to do what his sister almost did*

(luckily I didn't have that problem, but I could see your point. . .I see why you look up to Daisy. . .wait. . .what bout your cousin? . . .oh yeah still see your point) Jesse: Well. . .if you want to help me with dinner I could use it Daisy

Enos: So do I . . .so romantic Just then Lily breaks the silence when she cries out as Andrea was about to fall off the porch, but luckily she caught her.

(really lol) Luke: well. . .Yeah. . .y'all got anything.

(xactly what I mean) Daisy: Well. . .I don't know. . .y'all got anything to say?

They get through the day without much excitement and then later that night they all sat out on the porch and looked up at the full moon

The boys just wait (Seriously I don't know whether I feel sorry for her or not. . .one hand I think she likes all she does for them. . .on the other hand. . .you can feel akward sometimes)
