Elly May Duke

Daisy: Stubborn? *shakes her head*

Doc: I'm so sorry Daisy. I'm planning on starting him on it today . . .maybe tomorrow. I want to do some more tests first. He'll need the treatmet i just need to do more tests. Daisy: okay *Doc leaves* Daisy: Baby you ain't got to prove to me your'e some kinda macho man. I've got to prove it to you.

Daisy: *sighs*

Daisy: How can you do that?

Just then Doc comes in and checks Andrew again Enos: Well doc . . .what is it? *takes Daisy's hand*

Enos: I know Daisy . . .I know. Roscoe is dropping me off so he can go to work. If he needs me i'll go, but anyway.

Daisy: Oh Enos *rushes over to hug him and take Andrea from Roscoe.

She sits for a whle and then singd Blues man to Andrew.

Now being somewhat wide awake she absently takes her son's tiny hand and gently stokes his forehead which is hot with fever. Daisy: You are so much braver than I am.

Daisy then looks up at Andrew who slept peacefully more or less, in his crib. She sighed and once again began singing Concrete Angel. (odd she keeps singing it. i've been listening to it all day)

Daisy all this while who was going to sleep was having a bad dream and about two in the morning woke up.

Bo: Of course we do Enos . . .it's just Daisy not feeling right. Roscoe: Come on boys. Jesse: I'll take Granny and Jed home and then I'm coming back to stay with Daisy. I know Enos is coming back, but I don't know . . .both of them need some decent sleep. They ain't had none in the last six months.

Jesse: I know what you mean Bo. Jed: I hope Elly never goes through this. Cooter: Well . . .so do I Uncle Jed. Roscoe: Come on Bo, Luke I'll take you two home when I do Enos. I tell you I'll ask Boss for him some time off. I know he needs it.

Enos: Daisy . . .get some rest. You need it and I promise . . .i promise you i will be there when you wake up. I'll be here at the hospital to check on you and Andrew. I promise you I will ask Boss for time off to stay with you. He'll probably fire me, but I promise Daisy.

Enos: Daisy (now she just hurt him a lot) you are perfect. The kids are. I'd never leave you. I know you said why, but I can't believe you would think such a thing. I wanted to marry you since we wer about fifteen. And somebody really did love you . . .me. Daisy . . .like your Uncle jessse Said the lord has a reason for what he does. I think he's trying to make us stronger and I'd say it's working on me good.

Enos: Never Daisy . . .why on earth would you think that?

(oh okay) Enos: What do you mean . . .don't you want to stay with Andrew?

(what do you mena nice timin?) Doc: here daisy *hands her some sleeping medicine* Enos: Daisy . . .I'm not going to leave I promise, but Roscoe and I are going to drive back to the house to get some things and to drop Andrea off at Luke's.

Enos: I know Cooter. Tell her I've gone to get some sleep. I have work tomorrow. I know she'll yell, but I don't think that me being here is helping. Let me know if anything happens to Andrew. On second thought Roscoe . . .could you drive me?

Enos: *hands Andrea to Uncle Jesse and breaks down crying himself* (poor Enos) I try so hard. I really do. I know Dasiy knows it. I know she does. Please Doc get her to sleep. This whole day . . .she didn't need it. If i'd ever known that I would put such a curse on her.

Enos: Daisy i know you love us . . .please . . .you're scaring me . . .Doc will do whatever it is Andrew needs.

Bo: *looks a little scared* I know Daisy . . .and they've got to be a better motivation than me Uncle jesse and Luke. I'm telling you Daisy - - Jesse: *softly* Daisy . . .Bo's right. It would kill him. I know he's such as he is , but daisy please. Another reason I quit runinng it. I didn't want you three to . . .well okay so I did it becaue of Bo and Luke getting caught, but honey it will kill him as young as he is. Daisy: Uncle Jesse! I was sure you wanted him to live. Bo's right you three never were a good thing to get up and make breakfast for and I'm sorry I ever did it! Luke: *whispers in doc's ear* you think you could give her a tranquilizer. I know she's gonna hurt herself. I don't want anything to happen to Daisy.

Bo: Daisy . . .whatever Granny has is gonna kill him. I can tell you from that bit she gav me. I'm sorry.

Daisy: *puts her head in her hands and sobs* Enos and Jesse: Sit down on either side of her and put their arms around her. Bo: I would say ask Granny what we ought to do but I an't gonna and you know why. Luke: Yeah . . .moonshine.

(okay. if i do i'll put in a story pic folder) Enos: *lays a hand on her shoulder as she takes her son's tiny hand again* Doc: *finishes taking his readings and then looks at them* Enos: Well?
