“Miss Kitty We Need You”
Matt Sat quietly.. at Kitty’s bedside holding her hand..Doc had checked her over completely.. He told Matt
No it was just a wait and see…. A lot depended on Kitty herself..? She had been through a lot over the years.. And she was older now… there was some infection.. But Doc had given her some medication and now it was time to just let it work. Where she had been shot was almost the same area she was shot when Jude Bonner had shot her.. So , Doc was just hoping , not to much damage had been done. And that Kitty was strong enough to bounce back ? But, actually he was more concerned with the head injury.. And the amount of time she was unconscious ? Matt sat there.. Holding her hand up to his mouth…..knowing they had been here before… this was somewhere he never wanted to ever be again….
Kitty Honey….He was now on his knee…kissing her fingers Please Honey you have to fight… I’m so sorry this happened…I know I should have stayed with you both on the train.. You have every right to be angry with me….Kitty… wake up… Please ?… even if you yell at me.. Tell me what a fool I am..! Anything..?
I deserve it! I need to see My beautiful Blue Eyes.. Looking back at me.. Please Honey….???
Kitty …I Love You!….. I know I don’t say it often enough… But I do…I’m no good without you…
Like you said…. We’ve loved each other better than half Our Lives! Well, I want the Rest!.. If you Meant that…Kitty Russell… Wake up and Tell me….. He was still Kissing her hands.. Her fingers.. Then he leaned over and Kissed her on the Lips….. Kitty, Honey…..I Need You! I need You
Matt heard a Slight sniffle behind.. Then her soft Voice… “NO, … WE NEED YOU!”
Matt turned to see Beth standing leaning against the door frame…..wiping away her tears…..
He motion for her to come in… Beth …how long.. have you……….. Long enough.. Daddy.
Beth stood beside then knelt beside him…Now what did you say Beth? I was just correcting you..
Correcting me? Yes… You told her You Needed her… that not right… Honey … I was just….
No, Daddy….. “WE NEED HER” You and Me…
We need to make her hear us….! After what she did out there… Beth, honey I told you …
Kitty Loves you.. We both Love you… I know.. I know that now. And I know she Loves You…
So,, We need to Make her Want to Fight for us…. She fought for us out there… now we need for her to fight for us in here? What can we do ? Beth I don’t know.. Doc says it wait and see…
Matt and Beth were just sitting with their arms around one another… when suddenly they heard a deep voice…. Well, for starters Young lady… You can Promise never to throw me in Cold Water again?
What? They both looked up… Now there a site I like to see.. Kitty said smiling. Miss Kitty!
Your awake? I think so..? Oh, the water.. It was to cool you down .. You remember that? Yes it was cold Damn it! Matt started laughing. Don’t you laugh. Kitty , how you feel? Sore! Where are we?
Doc’s office. What about…. We got’ um. And the girls? Their all fine. Well you awake, Doc said as he pop his head in the room. Hey Curly…? Hey yourself.. You gave us a scare. When can I get out of here? Now wait a minute… you not going anywhere. Oh, Curly.. I’m fine ..just a little sore…
Oh, so you’re a Doctor Now? Your not getting out of that bed. Curly? Your staying put!
And that’s an Order! Matt looked at her and said .. Don’t look at me..? Thanks Cowboy.
In case you two have forgotten.. I have a business to run. Sam will take care of things. He’s already done that for to long now. Ok, at least let me go over to my own rooms? What you don’t like my care here?
Curly .. Come on, I’m just in the way here.. You know that… I promise I’ll stay up stairs. Ok?
Maybe in a day or two…. ? Matt? Leave me out of this!
Two days later Kitty finally convinced Doc to let her go back over to her rooms… He had Matt help her
He didn’t want her walking …although she insisted she could. She had been up and was going to get dressed but Doc ..stopped her… No need for that .. Your going right back to bed remember? Well I can’t go out on the street in my nightgown.. Now can I? Beth brought over your cape. Oh, You!
Just wrap it over your shoulders.. That will be fine. Miss Kitty you look great! Don’t be telling her that
Doc said she’ll be wanting to run up and down Front street. Oh, Curly? Beth started Laughing…
Kitty walked to the landing.. When Matt came up the stairs… May I be of Help ma’am? Matt that not really necessary . Oh yes it is young lady.. Doc said from behind her. Oh alright. She put her arms around Matt’s neck… Hold on… Oh, I will Cowboy…. Scooping her up in his arms.. Here we go…
He carried her down the stairs and across the boardwalk and into the Long Branch… Matt you can put me down now… Doc’s not looking anymore. Nope.. Your going right up to bed. Look Cowboy, I’m fine.
I’m sure you are .. But, up you go….Sam, Beth and the Girls just started laughing….. Kitty shot them a look… “NOT FUNNY”!
Matt placed Kitty in the bed… Now Kit… Why not just take it easy…stop fighting this …Matt, you know as well I do .. I’ll go crazy sitting in this Bed! I have work to do. He sat down beside her… put his hand under her chin… Kit, Honey We.. Almost lost you… We were devastated… at the thought…And I’m not going to let anything get in the way of you getting better.
Now you just rest.. I’ll be back ..with supper for us later…. Here Doc said for you to take some of this….
It will help with the pain and help you sleep… , But the pain’s not bad… Matt shot her a look…
Oh Ok… he wouldn’t leave till she took some.. Then he tucked her in … gave her a Kiss..
Hummmmmm… Now .. That I’ve Really missed Cowboy! Kitty!.. What? We can’t… Kill Joy.
Matt went back to do paper work.. Knowing Kitty would sleep for a while…. Beth , slipped into Kitty’s room.. she was fast asleep…. Beth just curled up in a chair.. By the window… watching her….
