Elly May Duke

Boss somehow sensed this and said "Roscoe! You ain't taking the dukes side are you?"

(Just cold here. . .we have a nor'eastern here so a lot of us aren't going to school and we're all at the house cept my brother who is probably coming back any moment) Enos shook his head "Yeah. . ." he shook his head again "I reckon." he said uncertaintly clear in his voice.

Boss scrunched up his nose as he thought "I see. . .well I won't let them get off this easy. Lulu better not be helping them."

Enos blinked and then smiled when he saw her "Hey Dais." he said using the nickname he'd used when they were younger. Then he winced, putting a hand to his head as he was suddenly a little dizzy. (What's the wheather like where you are?)

He's come such a long way from that Daisy thought to herself and how proud she was of him. Just then one of them stirred.

What is the matter with you? Roscoe thought in his head. "So, that's what we gotta deal with huh?" Boss asked.

It wasn't long before Daisy was back and smiled as she saw Lily asleep and Enos looking like he was too.

They were silent for a few minutes.

Enos smiled I wonder what Daisy does go through he thought to himself

Daisy nodded.

Enos slowly leaned over and kissed the top of her head "We do more than you can imagine."

"Well with Roscoe and Boss and everything." Daisy said "What we're going through now."

Enos chuckled "Well I'm thinking it's not just because of this. . .that'd hurt my feelings."

Daisy sighed "What's your opinion of all this Enos?" she asked.

Enos smiled and then handed her something. Lily smiled when she saw it was a comic "Your mama brought that to me awhile ago . . .figured you'd want to read it."

"Hey baby girl." Enos smiled "How you feeling?"

Doc smiled nodding "I have no doubt as to that." and so he helped Enos into a wheelchair and helped him get to Lily's room

Daisy squeezed his arm "Defidantly Enos. . .alongside Uncle Jesse of course."

Doc nodded "Don't wear yourself out though Enos. You try too hard sometimes. But I can tell you truely love Lily and all your family."

Enos shook his head "No way. . .though if these weird things don't stop happening around here. . .I might, but no. . .I was just saying. . .I mean if it was a vote which of the three of us do you think they'd pick?"

As soon as Daisy left, Doc sighed as he noticed Lily begining to cry silently. He went to Enos's room to tell him what Daisy had wanted.

Lily nodded "It's okay mama. . .they need one of us." Daisy nodded "Doc if you could get Enos in here I'd appreciate it." she said and left. Doc nodded and sighed as he could tell that it was hard for both Lily and Daisy.

Enos smiled "Know something else Cooter? I think Atlanta would support me more than Boss and Roscoe in a debate too."

Enos smiled "We sure are Cooter. Know you're the only one who stood beside me and Daisy's lovely family."

"Well when can she go home doc?" Daisy asked "Know I'm. . .now that I think about going to have to head home for a bit to tend to the other kids for awhile."
