CHERYL SEE HER FAULT

Rufus, you could be right Son about her being pregnant, yesterday when I was going to get lunch, and I ask what she feels to eat."

"Dad, I could guess what she said."

"What's that, son?"

"Curry crab and dumpling."

"Yes, but how did you know that?"

"She told Oliver, and he told me, when I was asking if you send the supplies."

"Then we should get some crab and let Oliver cook it for her, she is helping your Dad, so I could have him home, I owe her big times."

"Mom, Courtney cooks her crab differently from us, and it tastes really good, she cook it with coconut milk, and the dumpling is cook together with the crab."

"Have you ever eaten when she cook, Rufus?"

"Yes, once I went to check the gas in the generator for Pappie, and she had cooks dumpling and crab, it was tasty and I also eat pumpkin and bake, Pappie, like her cooking a lot"

"Honey, I was wondering why Mom and Pappie aren't visiting? Are they displeased about something?

I visited the cottage so many times and they are never home, and the doors are always lock, I miss them and Kimberley wasted mom to teach her how to bake."

"But honey, Oliver bake very good and he always making lovely deserts, why don't they put themselves in the kitchen to learn something."

"You seems to be getting wiser as the days go by, I will give each of them a day to help Oliver out in the kitchen.

If Courtney could cook, clean, work in the mill, drive and look how she had the girls looking so beautiful for the wedding.

If I had send them to take some kind to course today they might have open some type of saloon or become a teacher in our schools.

I had them all thinking like Carlos thinking they are Prince and Princesses and don't need to do anything and always complaining. Ma said this is all my fault and she is so right.

Seeing how Courtney could multitask I realized I am a failure and things are going to change.

It is still not to late they can assist with the chores in the house so when they get married they will be able to take care with their family.

Rufus laugh saying, "Mom, am I hearing right?"

"Yes, you are hearing right, I have seen my fault and have made many mistakes, but I know all is not lost, I need to speak with mom, I miss her."

Rawlins said, "You know when Dad is resting, Mom doesn't leave his side, and he is resting better these days since he returns home."

"Then tomorrow I should pay them a visit, since the wedding they never visited, and I wanted to extend my thanks to her for the excellent cake she and Courtney made."

Rawlins said, "If you meet them you must say you are lucky, when they are not resting they go for a walk, because Courtney is using the van. Do you know she gives him a full report of what is happening at the mill?"

"Talking about that Rawlins, I have never seen Pappie taken to someone so quickly."

"Mom, could it be he like her cooking, and Grandmother gets to relax by his side, those two are like love birds?"

"You could be right Rufus, and if you and Carlos could run the plantation and orchard, your father and I could do the same."

Hearing Rufus laugh, "Then I am afraid Mom, you will have a long wait, Carlos is only good at two things, hiding from work and mingling with ladies talk."

"I will not have you, little brother, so from today I am going at the mill."

"I am glad to hear that, maybe Courtney could show you how to work one of the saw. I will tell her to teach you with one of the easy one." Rawlins respond.

"Dad please, he will be safer just supervising the loading of the trucks, the saws are dangerous. I should be ready by next week, my back is feeling much better, but I don't want to push myself too early."

"Have you been exercising?"

"Yes dad, just look ," getting of the bed seeing him barely holding the rail the men made for him.

"Very good, then I will get to take some time and rest. I am beat to the bone."

When Carlos said, "You look for that, who told you to go walking in the storm."

Seeing his dad turn around and look at him, Rufus could see how angry he was, saying to him, "You my big brother mind is too small to comprehend why, so I won't waste my time explaining."

Noticing Dad looking at his time, "Okay, I have to pass by the mill then be by the orchard for eleven, I have two orders to send out. And Honey, I should be home by five."

Watching them all leave his room, "Lord, I thank you, I know for definite, Courtney was your choice for me.

I am not afraid because she is using my name legally, and she have the answer for all of them. I had promise to get her crab but because of the injury, I cannot, but hearing she is the choice for me I am happy.

Now it is just a matter of the right timing, I must focus all my energy in doing my exercise and getting better to be at the mill.

Carlos mind is twisted and with him going to work, he might try to make advances toward her, and she might say something and sell the both of us out. I am asking for a little help Lord Jesus."

Standing by the window when it was half four, "I will see her when she pass, not one day did she visited me.

I am sure if she had come, someone would have told me, but she is right, it might draw suspicion, even Martha, I haven't heard anything about her, I just hope she is well because I will need her help?'
