Elly May Duke

Elly nodded and went over to one of the chairs and cried.

"MM. . .soo good." Opie said licking his lips. (don't know bout you, but I LOVE raspberries.)

Jesse simed "You're thinking you should've given Daisy more credit than you did aint you?"

"What's the matter with her Pa?" Elly asked.

To break the akwardness Aunt Bee passed out dessert. "So what's this?" Opie asked Daisy again.

Jesse noticed "What you thinking Roscoe?" Jesse asked.

Elly nodded when just then Granny started making strange noises. (Know I think she would be like late 80s I remember somewhere in the series said she was 70 something)

(well that was smart of him) Finally Daisy calmed down and was able to look up wiping her eyes eventhough she was still an emotional wreck

Elly shook "Pa. . .I don't. . .want . . .to loose her."

Daisy gave bo a look that said she would have stuck her tounge out at him if they weren't company.

Jesse and the boys and Roscoe only watched as Enos took Daisy and let her cry into his arms.

A smile tugged at Daisy's lips. She knew Jed was right about that one, but then again Granny was like 80 something. . .or 90. . either way it was so obvious that Granny should be going. . .why should she survive?

Jed reached over and hugged her "It's all right honey. . .I'm here." Elly looked his way, tears streaming down her face "Pa. . .I can't loose Granny. . .I just can't." she sobbed "The closest thing I ever had to a Ma."

Daisy nodded "It makes me so happy to have seen it. . .I really want my problems to be over with him. . .I need you Enos. . .no one else."

Daisy shook her head "I really don't know." she rushed over and hugged him "I love you and Cherry too much Enos. . .I. . .I." and she broke down not able to say anything else.

Daisy hung up and laid a hand on her forehead. This was all too much. She looked at Lily and said "Make sure your brothers and sisters stay out of here. I know you're scared and I don't want them scared. . .you understand?" Lily nodded and went to do what Daisy asked. Just then there was a knock at the door and when Daisy opend it there was Jed.

Opie laughed and got a look from Aunt Bee. Andy smiled "Yeah, I kinda see what she means boys." Aunt Bee got up and brought over dessert.

Daisy put her hand over her mouth to hold back a gasp as she couldn't believe her eyes.

Elly nodded and kneeled beside Granny. Daisy when to the phone and dialed the number. She sighed when Jed picked up "Jed Clampett here." "Uncle Jed. . .Granny fainted and Elly wants you real bad. . .Jenny called Doc so I guess he's on his way, but Elly really wants you."

Daisy shook her head sighing "Bo . . .it's a lot more complicated than you and your girls."

Elly nodded "I just kinda want Pa right now."

Daisy watched scared, but LD just laughed "Oh really. . .Like what?"

Elly nodded nearly choking on her tears "I love Granny so much. . .especially since I didn't have a Ma."

"Well Enos is different." Daisy said and then frowned a little tryint to hold back her tears "I really miss him." she admitted.

(oh man) Daisy looked up "Elly. . .get over here." Elly did and was about to cry when she did "What's the matter with Granny?" she asked. "I'm not sure." Daisy answered.
