Mother’s Love
Newly and Festus’ ,
... Gathered the Wilson, Carter ,and Hawkins and put them in the back of a
wagon they found in the barn… as Kitty, Mary and Sarah exited the house with
Matt… Kitty looked to Newly and Festus’ with question in her eyes…, Newly knew
what she was thinking…, Ma’am, he’s… closing her eyes and lowering her head…
Thanks Newly… Miss Kitty?... he had it
coming…Shaking her head,.. Newly Please ?...
Matt pulled her in close ,.. Kit, it will be ok… Matt you know how I feel about Killing….Matt
just nodded. Sarah’s eyes targeted the
wagon ,.. that now carried her cuffed Father and his friends… Kitty place her
arm around her and softly said, ... Sarah, we’re ok now ,.. he can’t hurt you
.. ever again… Matt and I will see you get home to your Aunt and Uncle safely…
But, Ma’am … that man Sawyer,… he , He hurt Uncle John… I promise we will send
a wire to your Aunt and Uncle to see that they are alright…
Matt, Kitty, Mary, Sarah
Festus’ and Newly, rode out of the ranch… and headed for Dodge…
Matt? ... Maylee …she
must be terrified…? Kitty ,.. I won’t
say she wasn’t but I assured her we’d bring Mary home safely…. Sarah
,.. interrupted …Marshal… Miss Kitty took real good care of Mary and
Me…she didn’t have to protect me! … he was my Father , but that didn’t matter..
she still protected me I’ll never forget … Matt broke in with, Sarah ,.. Someday this will all just be a
memory… unpleasant, but it over now… No
Marshal ...I mean .. I’ll never forget ...Miss Kitty and what she did to keep
little Mary and me safe… I know
I’m young , but I don’t know … or have I ever heard of many woman that would
stand up to four men like she did … Marshal,… does Miss Kitty have
children? Blushing a bit ,.. No, No
Miss Kitty doesn’t… Smiling at him, … she should,… she be a wonderful
Mother! Marshal?...Is Miss Kitty your
Woman ? Now embarrassed by the girl’s
question, Umm …Ummmm Well… she sure
thinks a lot of you...Sarah said with a smile.
Then looking off in a distance…you should think about it…Matt just
cleared his throat…
As they reached the edge of Town ,.. Burke being the Public
announcement vessel he is …start yelling … It the Marshal,… and Miss Kitty!...
but their not alone…. Doc and Maylee, ... could hear him and came out of the
office…. Rushing down the stairs, … Maylee called out Mary’s name… Oh, Marshal
..Thank You !.. Thank You so very much… I was so worried… Matt stepped down of the
horse,... then helped Kitty and Sarah down…. Maylee reached for Mary...pulling
her to her breast….Doc’s eyes focused,… on Kitty...Honey , you come with me,.. and before you even
think about it… I’ll have no argument!.. Kitty now exhausted,… Doc I don’t have
the energy to argue with you…. As Kitty and Doc started up the stairs..Doc
could see the pain on her face … Honey ,,.. ?
I’m ok curly… then Kitty could feel, a hand on her arm.. Miss Kitty,
Thank You, for taking care of Mary… Oh Maylee,… I would never let anything
happen to her…suddenly Sarah looked at
Maylee …. Ma’am ,.. I’m Sarah,… Hello
Sarah...Maylee said wondering who this young girl was. Ma’am … Miss Kitty was wonderful out there…
She risk her own life for Mary and me to be safe… I just want you to know
that..! Mary is a beautiful baby ,.. and
I saw out there how much Miss Kitty loves her…. Maylee placed her hand
on Sarah’s cheek ….Thank You Child, I know how much Mary is Loved… and that
Kitty Loves her … Miss Kitty,… I’m
sorry for what you went through …. Maylee said.
now looking at Kitty’s injuries... Maylee, I did what any Mother would
do….. than, Doc helped her up the steps…
When they entered Doc’s office, … Young lady… I want you to
go in that room and lie down… I’ll be in , in just a minute.. Kitty didn’t
argue… but to say ... Doc, Sarah… can you see if she …. Rubbing his Mustache..
and nodding .. I will honey I will..
you just go and get out of those things… she walked into the other room and
closed the door,… sat on the edge of the bed ,... exhaled.. then the tears
began to fall….
