It was obvious how they all were affected and how they all knew they had once again come together as a family, to not only help Little Joe but each other deal with what had happened. It had been very easy to connect with Marie and shed quickly accepted the boys as her own. Noooo!- How?

He wondered, What really happened? Little Joe - factor: Bonanza Boards. Its not your fault, Joe and its not pas either. Joe.

This was Joes first clue to try to high tail it back into the house, close the door and grab his gun, however, before he knew it, he was violently yanked backward and quickly swung around, facing his attacker once again. Im sorry as I know it is a bit late, but I was in the area. He shook Bens hand then set his medical bag down on the night stand and proceeded to pull out his stethoscope. Adam, Im sorry. I was to marry her after my wife died, so Dax here would have a mother. He banged the back of Joes head against the desk and demanded, Did you hear me? Joe? Slow your breathing buddy., Okay, Hoss, hand me that bandage over there, please. The doc was quick with his work. Late again, he thought. Hey Pa, look who I found.

Look son, I understand your concern, however, we have no other choice., Frustrated, Adam hustled across the room. His mother? What the hell are they talking about? Sore?

I just didnt know what to do., Ben grabbed hold of his sons hand as he tried to console the young man, something he hadnt had to do in a very, very long time. Im sorry. He winced as he struggled to calm his breathing. That's what big brothers do for little ones." "Thanks Pa," Little Joe grinned, "I told ya I still like that little guy even if he tried to beat the stuffing . I didnt let them take you.

Pa what do you think is going on? Hoss asked. Please hurry! He was hurting, and feverish, but had seemed to be coming back to them. They never did find out whod done it,though they all had a pretty good idea. Ad-am? With his eyes barely open Little Joe slowly scanned each one carefully, making sure he wasnt dreaming. A mostly cannon, Adam doesn't leave, fix it for Adam's bad luck with relationships. See, I told Pa not to leave him alone. Like Ben, he, too was worried now for both of his brothers. You did the best you could. Pa?Hey, Pa! Hop Sing had returned home and assisted in caring for Little Joe. Little Joe cried out. Oww! Joe swallowed and answered, Well, Im sorry but hes not here right now., The man took a half a turn to the right, My boy and I have some business with him. He should have been getting better by now as Doc Martin had said, however, just the opposite had been happening.
