Brenna nearly dropped her bowl as she set it on the table beside her and rushed over to hug Daisy "Maybe, but not because of anything you've done mama."

Enos hugged her "Wanna go back to the Boar's Nest and tell everyone. . .and them go meet Cherry?"

(poor Daisy) "That ain't true mama. . .we are happy. . .well with what you . . .and your love for us." Brenna said.

Enos blushed furiously "Yeah, would you come with me to pick out a ring. . .and m-marry me?"

Enos smiled "I got Miss Lulu watching her right now. . .I named her Cherry, stupid I know, but where I found her was under a half-dead cherry tree."

"About Andrew" Brenna answered "I don't want people talking bout him and us" she said sadly.

Enos ran a hand through his hair nervously "Daisy, when I was in La. . .I found this baby girl. . .abandond and. . .I was hoping you could help me take care of her." he confessed

(I saw I'll get to it, but I have homework right now. . .couldn't do it this afternoon cause I had an eye appt) "What are we gonna do mama?" Brenna asked.

Enos leaned over and gave her another kiss "I do Daisy and. . .I've been keeping a secret for awhile, but I have something to tell you." he looked serious.

Lulu smiled "Glad to do it Daisy."

Enos smiled "Daisy, you're the only girl that I think I would ask to marry."

Lulu smiled as she came in with a bowl of strawberry icecream for Brenna as well as herself, Daisy and Enos.

Enos nodded and hugged her "I know, but I'm still sorry."

Enos was taken aback by this comment "Daisy, I'm sorry about it. . .I didn't mean for you to get upset about it in any way."

Enos nodded "Yeah, but I mean . . .get by barely. . .you make enough for you and the boys and. . .then some." he smiled, letting Daisy know there was no spite in the way he meant it.

Lulu only nodded "Daisy's afraid I'll spoil the kids." Enos admitted.

Enos smiled "You make a LOT more money there in tips than I do working everyday for Deputy. (Know I know she don't work firday at the least)

Lulu noticed this "Something wrong Daisy?" she asked.

Enos nodded "Well, you gonna work at the Boar's Nest your whole life?" Enos asked as a joke more than anything.

Brenna played with some things that Lulu had for the kids if they ever happend to come over.

Soon they were at Lulu's house. (Well pretty good. . .seems like you have yourself a rival too)

Daisy nearly choked having not realized that she'd hurt him. She would admitt that she was still tense over their oldest son's condition. "Enos, I'm sorry. I just don't know what I feel anymore. . .sure. . .let's go and get some icecream from Lulu. I've wanted to talk to her for awhile."

"I'm sorry Daisy, I didn't mean to embarass you." Enos apologized

Daisy gave him a sly look "All right. . .I suppose so, but I don't want you giving them ideas that they're going to be freely spoiled."

Enos nodded, leaning close and kissing her.
