Sigh and put head back on Dan, if we try Sashi and Balik will wake up afore the finish. Since Bonita and Chad finally got to go on a hunt that means we stop there so I can go and see to them both. Not for the first time I find myself wishing for more breasts like any other animal. Still since the sky is still dark and the babes are yet asleep, I can do some hunting. Dan does not want pancakes every morning, and neither do I. Enjoy pancakes but would much rather do biscuits and gravy. On occasion I will do tortilla though they seem to mostly be for on hunt. Rather wish we could go on a hunt, I know why Bonita was all smiles when we finally got a marshal wanting help that asked us. The babes are tiring, and they don't really do anything asides lie there. Well Balik is crawling now and likes to explore everywhere so am chasing all over the place, asides when can get him to mind a toy. So with a sigh I get up to get dressed, shall do hunt for coney and reckon biscuits and gravy are the order of vittles. Move on the sly to the dresser and open slow to not make noise. Now dressed with moccasins on I head for the office to get belt, hat, Winchester, and coat. Seemed the best place to put the coat, still cold time and always leave with belt on so I string my belt on the hook under my coat. Hat goes on over that and seems to be in the right on things. Check on the roast in the oven for sandwiches then head on out into the cold. Hoping the babes do not wake occupies my thoughts as I trek on out away from camp. At least at first, after a spell I find myself wondering why door to outside in kitchen is to side of house. All the other buildings in Longwood have a door leading directly behind toward the outhouse. This house has one on the side, so if we get a neighbor house they can't build adjacent like every other building. Course the house is not adjacent anyway just seems odd to be like this. For some reason I seem to be the only one to find the arrangement odd. Then hear movement in a bush, is a big bush so reckon got a deer or pig. Either would work since Bartholomew enjoys cutting them up. Also make for tasty biscuits and gravy though shall need to lure them out of the bush. The bush is large and quite hard to see anything in so take a knee and brush at the snow. Unless it is a predator it will step out to see better. A predator will instead crouch down in the bush and wait since there is little in wind. Takes a little while of brushing at the snow then have a head appear. Have a pig in the bush, this is welcome, and while not huge is large enough, can get at least two cuts of bacon out of it. Let out a whistle to get pig to freeze and look as raise rifle and aim in. Pig jerks when I shoot so reload fast as can and shoot again. This time the animal falls over. I am positive I hit in good spot first shot, just did not seem to faze the pig. Also did not run away or move after so reckon on hitting head and stunning instead of death, not the best of aim but was not painful. Dart over and pull pig away from the bush while singing in gratitude along with begging forgiveness. Hunter cut the pig then see if can lug it back, usually best to let Bartholomew cut up the animals. Luck find is not too heavy for me so stagger a little while carting the pig back home and into the kitchen. Balik and Sashi are awake so get to drop pig on table and head for the stairs. Then stop and turn back to get pot of milk heating, my breasts do not have enough for both. Then dash up the stairs to find Dan holding Balik, Sashi is still in her crib. Pull out Sashi and head down the stairs, Dan following along looking relieved. "Heavens, was not expecting a pig." Dan came right in the kitchen and is gawking at the pig, looks bigger than it did out there. "Found in the large bush out there, was thinking coney but a pig is nice. Reckon we can get Isaac to do a proper pig sauce." Dan snorts while I head for the milk. "You just want to have that again." "We did miss the last one with cow." I say as I pull out the bottle and pour about half the milk in. "Do you want to feed Balik or Sashi?" Dan snorts. "Sashi, Balik does not like to let me do it." Giggle as we trade babes and make sure Dan does not spill the milk again. Put Balik down to not a happy cry and pull dress off so can feed him proper. Pick him back up and he quiets right down, hard to talk with your mouth full, well in this case cry. Still I am very happy to be able to care for my babe proper this time. "We got some sausage still in the pantry if you would rather leave that for Bartholomew." Eye the pig and nod, that does sound better. "Reckon shall, he knows the cut better." Dan snorts. "He knows which areas make the best bacon. Do wonder why we are getting so many pigs coming in the area." Eye Dan a moment then giggle. "Bipin and Elan know the pig trick so warrant most of the tribes are doing it. Only got this one since the coney would have hid or ran when he came near. Rather aggressive for not that big." "Looks to be above hundred pounds, you staggered home?" Nod and sigh, is slightly embarrassing. "Yes, if we keep having this many pigs come this close shall need have Apache come and help on pig slaughter." "Well know the town would like that, give Isaac a few pigs and we have one of his pig roasts." Make a face at that, he shared headcheese. "Only if he no mind no head." Dan chuckles a bit while switch breast. "Headcheese did not sound that good to me either. Course when it is make something out of a pig head or no vittles, think I would try it." Shake head and put Balik down, he has had enough. "Round eye are odd Dan, if put in that situation would slaughter reason for being in or move to better hunting." "Slaves were beat and half starved on the way to this country, then they are sold off and beat more usually. Not all owners were cruel but most were and held on to their slaves with threat of injury or death." Sigh and head into the pantry for what I need. "Dan had similar done to me, did not stay and let continue." Dan nods and get hug along with kiss. "Yes, but you are a singular woman Janet. Did leave you broken a little as well, if they had tried harder you may not have managed to." Have to allow as Dan may be right, still did not happen and am happy now so no more dwelling on the past. So I get to work on making biscuits and gravy with sausage. After a little thought add sunny side up eggs to that. Also pull out the roast, looks fairly close to done for sandwich but shall put back since not cooked fully can be hard to bite through. Toss myself rather fully into making vittles. Only me cooking and have a few things need to make. The biscuits first, once those in oven am making up the gravy. Once that is going for hot and thickening I shell the eggs into a section of the stovetop. Then do a little dance of checking on the egg, namely sliding flipper under to check on done, and stirring gravy. Once all is done with cooking fetch a couple plates and get to work. Slice in half two biscuits each, add the eggs, again two, and then drench in gravy. End up with two extra biscuits so settle them on the plates and bring out to Dan. Dan has been busy, he fetched out two fork and knife for us to use along with two napkins. Get everything set and sit to enjoy vittles. Just enjoy vittles and keep an eye on Balik, he is sitting now but does just up and move. Find it to be so precious and so tiring at the same time, honest on occasion want to cuff him to something. Also occur would not mind a table cloth, know there are some to buy at the store. "Dan, can we get table cloth?" Dan gawks a short spell. "Would need to wash that as well." Nod and shrug. "Know, but table cloth, do not eat off table so would not need wash often." Dan sighs and nods. "Alright, we can get a table cloth. On one condition, you do not spend more than four dollars." Snort and giggle. "Dan have looked afore, they cost a dollar for one large enough for this table. The big long tables are two dollars to cover." Dan shakes his head. "No not one of those, would prefer you get a nice doily table cloth." Gawk at Dan a short spell. "Can get one large enough?" There are doilies in the store, most are not very large, they are good as part of center piece on a table. "Absolutely, may need to order one but they are nicer looking." Nod and smile at my husband then frown, can hear the train. "Dan, train coming, is early." Dan frowns then nods. "That is early, see to on the vittles reckon we got a bounty coming and they will want us." Nod and see to on the vittles with Dan though there is a different thought. Suppose Washington has decided that ruined general was right and orders are coming for captain to slaughter Apache. When we finish Dan disappears to get baskets while I take the plates and silverware into the kitchen. Reckon am being odd on the thinking, just can't shake it. The general was taken to Washington and publically died of illness, scarlet fever if'n recall right. Also got a letter sent to the reservation care of captain, promises the man was hung. Not sure believe on that but did remove his ability to soldier according to all who know. Captain promises he was hung since he did send a letter reporting on what I said on the matter. Still have an early train and a feeling on not being a good train. Get Balik and Sashi into the baskets and follow Dan, he left first to yell for Sally. We give the babes to Isaac and Amanda to mind on since they have a third now. The machine is being built along with her eatery so soon Amanda will have new place. Chun will leave with her so she is not whoring as often. Have a new girl to replace her already, another Apache though older and I like her. She lost her man to illness afore we moved to Longwood and was not up to becoming Cherokee so instead is helping tribe by making coin as a whore. She also misses the rolls which is quite understandable. As get closer to saloon Sally comes out with Ekta in tow. They come over and collect the baskets then get hug and continue on. Turning the corner to head for station Andrew comes out of the store and dashes to catch up. Look over at him a little surprised, thought Claire kept him until he finished with vittles or the roll. "Morning Janet, and don't look so surprised, am going back after the train leaves to finish vittles." Snort and giggle. "Reckoned Claire kept a set of cuff to keep you at table or bed until done." Andrew snorts then bends over to laugh, I just keep going, need to watch train. "Has said she wanted to do that for our sons. They were all about eat fast and back outside while growing." Giggle a little since at good spot and train not quite here yet. "Reckon Balik will be same, he is all about crawl all over." "Claire says he will start standing and trying to walk this summer." Reckon the same on the matter though the train is pulling in now. Get wave out of Gus so wave back, would walk over to Gus excepting the people are getting off. Little floored when a mess of Cherokee gals step off the train. They look at me when whistle and wave so come on over. Can't help the smile, been long since spoken to fellow Cherokee. "Everybody know round eye?" I ask as they get close enough and get plenty of nods. "We learn and been practice since decide to come here." Nod and smile. "Good, am Janet and Cherokee so if wish to speak in Tsalagi come and see me. Heard on the arrangement to be done so shall say this. The Apache are not bad, all are nice. If'n you scoot over here shall walk you over to reservation soon the train is finish spitting people out." Giggles galore and they all scoot over to sit. Luckily Andrew has been minding those wishing to stay in town a spell. We have plenty of people wishing to, I can't help but hope not all wish to stay here. Course know that four are not planning on living in Longwood but outside. They have saddles slung over one shoulder when come toward us so put up my hand. "No guns allowed in town so drop those in the sheriff office. If'n you got horses need seeing to we got a blacksmith and stable down this street. Needing a horse we may have some for sale, not asked." Plenty of nods and smiles. "Reckon we shall make use of the stable, also wanted to ask on where Kunis ranch is." Smile and point. "About a fifteen minute ride that way." They look and smile. "Thank you kindly deputy, mind if we leave the saddles here while we fetch our horses?" Shake my head. "Just drop them any place you of a mind, I'll make sure nobody makes off with." Saddles are dropped and they head back for the train talking on how I'm nicer than said. Andrew is chuckling so swat him but can't help giggling. Then Dan is coming over with Martin and Gwen, and a bounty in his hand. Well if that don't beat all so shoot some eye daggers getting Gwen to giggle. "Had a telegraph, the marshals that took Chad and Bonita are on the way back now. This is a big one so shall need recruit some Apache would reckon." Sigh and shake my head. "Honest would almost rather you took a mess of Apache. Asides Bipin is deputy now and should stay but chief decide Bipin always goes on hunt with me and unblooded." Martin frowns. "Need you two for this, looking to be a good sized gang. Bank robbing mostly." Dan comes over and shows me the bounty and well that is a large number. "Well that is a large bounty, also have some gals joining the tribes on reservation so shall go talk to chief, need Bipin stay and may as well take Apache. May not, told the whores to always go with since may like the marshal and Martin here is married." Gwen snorts and shrugs. "Going to recruit one or two of the marshal coming back, they had a dead bounty so the money is waiting on them." Look at Dan then Gwen and shake my head. "We are not paying for all gotten at stores again." Martin snorts. "We got a money bag with plenty, shall split the paying." Look at Dan to see he is smiling so sigh and nod, we are going. "No going until Bonita is return so babes have a mom." Two nods and Dan pushes toward Cherokee gals. 'Take them over to the reservation and talk to chief. Two days and we leave, according to what we have they are riding along and should be a town past south of us." Nod and collect the gals then we are walking for the reservation. Give a wave to Gus who is chuckling, suppose look odd to have all these gals following me. Past the train and in the empty land afore fort is when they decide to ask questions. "How many tribes are here?" "Five tribes, may add one more if captain asks to. Like as not losing a swath of land far side so would not be able to support more after." "Why are you here?" Look back at them and well may as well share. "Am Cherokee Janet, my tribe was the uprising that led to long walk. Was taken from tribe and taken as wife afore was ready, given babe afore first bleeding time then chain to bed to give out roll to all the ranch men asides man in charge of meat for tribe that was not give. Took long time but husband track him down, he was at ranch outside of this town. So we move here with him as sheriff, I was just whore to start since have need of many roll. Lessened but still nice to whore, round eye nice then and not much aside." Plenty of sucked in breaths. "Goodness, we all know about you, the elders remaining of your tribe took part in walk, four survive. Have since passed on but share on you and what you had shared of what happen." We draw near of fort so wave at men atop walls and get wave back. One disappear for a short spell to report on. Not recall seeing bag so reckon shall go in with no problem. Even do get in with no problem and spot sergeant talking to a few men so grin and head that way. "Sergeant what is the meaning of this." I say loud getting sergeant to stiffen and turn. "Sorry sir... Janet that is not funny." I am laughing now, the soldiers he was talking to are laughing and the gals are laughing though looking a little confused. "Gals here to join tribes of reservation and hopefully find a husband." Sergeant nods and looks them over. "No bags so nothing to search." I giggle a bit at that and turn back to them. "Who has a knife?" All hands go up. "Oi Janet that is disconcerting, but they are allowed to have a knife." "We get knife in case get attacked while collecting water or plants. Also handy to cut up vittles for cooking. Need speak with captain or take on through?" Sergeant nods then frowns and shrugs. "Oi not sure, shall go and talk to him and find out, reckon he shall walk along. Not have much to do in his office so he takes a walk anytime we give him an excuse." Giggle and wave him on so he goes talk to the captain. Need tell sergeant about hunt with reckon Apache but can tell captain who shall share. About then realize there was no Bipin, this is odd. Also recall that older Cherokee were to come so warrior like Bipin can get a wife. Look over the gals and there are some five older, about same age as me. Captain comes out of the office then talking to sergeant about not touching his whiskey. Has me giggling as they come closer then captain looks at us and smiles. "Was not expecting this many." Shrug and wink. "Honest was half expecting more, asides these being Apache the reservation for us is running low on not related." Captain nods and shrugs. "We are getting one more tribe. Sent up that any more to this reservation need to get larger not smaller. Reckon may have been done to not lose the swath of land. Need set up farms out that way would reckon." Nod and sigh as we get going toward the tribes. "Honest I figure on them adding two more tribes and take land anyway. We are injun so of no concern to Washington." Captain snorts and shakes his head. "Heck no, that letter apparently scared them. Got a report yesterday ridden out to us, they are trying to get more land and add in another fort toward Wicker. Would mean more tribes but then also more not related." Well this sounds nice though there is one thing. "Do same to Cherokee reservation?" Captain shrugs. "Not sure, do know it is a larger reservation, ten tribes I think it was with enough land for hunt and farm." "Not farm well." Look back and smile. "Sent plenty of gals there from here, know at least one know how to farm. We have farmer daughter as wife of one Apache. Related to man that made us do long walk. He got just punishment for, captain was there and can share. Shoot him few times then let the Apache try and break his wife. Left both in house and burn down minus what Bea wish keep." Plenty of smiles to that, aside Captain he still does not like the revenge as he call. "Heard tell on what you did to the last of the picket in that last hunt. Honest I think I shall shoot myself afore you get to if do something wrong." Snort and giggle. "Apache would be worse on, make sure shoot the gals in fort first." Sucked in breath to that so groan and turn to look back. "Apache are very nice as said, only dangerous when round eye do something bad. Like as not am along on so direct them on what to do. Tribes are considering doing mess hall so you would not cook for your man as much. Mean all go in building to have vittles, reckon the gals take turn on who cook." Captain snorts. "Wood for four has been ordered, they are large enough all of the tribes will fit. Larger than the one we have in fort which is roomy for our eighty some." The gals are not looking so anxious then we are at the first tribe teepees. "Now, forget teaching on what to do with Apache if you have same as me. Do keep in mind that if any try and go farther than you want, remind them that Cherokee Janet will be cross. If any force come and talk to me or find runner and shall return to do punishment. This is not wife raid so there is no forcing." Plenty of nods and some smiles. Longwood Fourth Hunt Day 01-02 We are getting close to chief teepee and no chief outside so reckon not smoke yet. Captain whistles so head appear, Leotie is looking out with shock then duck back in and chief get shoved out. Us gals are giggling about this since chief look a little confused then notice us and gapes. "Chief your wives have come." Leotie snorts then storms out to swat chief a few times and we are all laughing. "Gals come to join tribes?" We all nod and chief nods then looks at me and comes closer. "Janet you are joining tribes?" Roll my eyes and swat chief. "Nod since you were right. Also need speak to you and captain so both stay. Find guide for the gals first then speak." Chief nods and looks about then whistles. A number of heads pop out of teepees then go back in. Finally we have a young warrior come running, reckon summer shy of ceremony so make good guide. "Rabbit show the gals around to the warriors without a wife. Once have shown all this tribe take to next and find new guide." Rabbit nods and moves toward them then recall Bipin. "Where is Bipin, he no come to meet train?" Chief shrugs. "Sleep late would reckon, train was early. Rabbit show the gals to Bipin first." Rabbit turns back and nods then leads the gals off. Chief look about then go back in teepee. Takes a short spell but he come back and wave in so follow captain inside. Look about since first time in Apache teepee and well same as Cherokee that I remember. Chief sits next to Leotie so I sit at angle and cross legs. Captain sit and holds knees getting me to giggle. "I can't cross my legs like that and walk later." Leotie is giggling as well then lean over. "Watch when try, he sit a spell and not stay so then stand and almost fall few time." Well laughing now, with Leotie and chief. "Sorry captain is funny, what wish speak on Janet?" "Got a bounty in today, want us to go and suppose large gang so reckon may as well take Apache. Just Bipin need stay in Longwood, is deputy and three is good number to stay." Chief nods and smiles. "If lucky has wife finally." Nod and shrug. "Like Bipin just not sure can look past teaching on Apache and roll." "Also married." Wink at Leotie. "Only since you are with Leotie, chief." Leotie snorts and swats chief some more. "Should visit more Janet, he is good most of time so no get swat." Chief sighs and shakes his head. "Honest Janet am tempted to move to far tribe and have them come here." Giggle a bit at that. "No hurry on, Dan said two day and we go but reckon need Apache warriors. Also need Bipin to stay so need new blooded unless you reckon me and Dan can return the warriors blooded." Chief nods and shrugs. "Shall get with other chief and talk on later today. Reckon give you three if need take blooded, Elan manage to blood ten with you two and sergeant so little danger but still is custom." Nod and shrug. "Custom need change would reckon, and wish was not going out after bounty, always leads to slaughter and no nice. Oh and reckon best have warrior with gal since marshal we have is married. Gwen said would recruit one or both of the marshals coming back with Chad and Bonita but reckon is not a sure." Chief sighs and shakes his head. "Unless the new gals take to one the only unblooded left are young like most of them so no wife. Shall see if can find a gal in tribes, most of the new whores wish move to a different reservation. Reckon go to an Apache reservation this time, or stay here for the new tribe and bring in money for them to do farm with." Captain waves his hand. "You told me the warriors come of age quite young, the guide was almost ready I think." Chief nods. "Yes, but they are not ready to do hunt with Janet. Once come of age we then teach how to do what did not learn from games. Usual to not have wife at this time since they do hunt and such, do not always return so gals tend to wait for them to be ready to try for blooded. Sometimes wait for blooded though is less needed now and hard to become." Captain sighs. "Honest I thought you did the teach afore come of age." "No, teach games and let run around, give little duties, runner and guide usual. Janet was exception not seen often to do moccasin at five. Gal have easier time of things, most they need know already learn helping mom." Captain nods then looks at me. "What do gals do after coming of age?" "With Cherokee we would speak to the warriors and see if can find a man to bond with. Usual give out roll as well to make sure all is to her liking. After that can bond then or wait for warrior to make name for so no bond then lose man." Leotie nods. "Same with Apache." Captain sighs and shakes his head. "Honest, I'm glad I don't have to learn everything, just when I think I get it figured out you tell me something new." Giggle a bit. "Captain we live simple afore reservation. Honest am happier with house, would prefer no bounty but like Dan say is nice get out of town and ride along on trail." Chief shakes his head. "No can do and honest miss. Find myself wishing a little for old way, but also like new way." "Chief you can go on the patrol, Leotie may come so can do roll when stop for night." Chief looks at Leotie and gets shrug so smiles. "Is fine idea, shall take up with chief when we talk on your hunt and who go. How long would patrol take?" Mind on a little and shrug. "Reckon four day if you go at trot." "Hunt along way?" Nod and smile. "Best practice afore you go, warrior laugh if you no shoot coney." Leotie snorts and is laughing, chief sigh and toss up hands. "Janet you no nice to me." Giggle and grin getting chief to chuckle. Head on back to Longwood little after that, need to get back and check on Sashi and Balik. Breasts are starting to get toward full again so reckon they will be hungry soon and to me best to use my breasts. Also could use a glass of water, only drank some of the water I had with vittles, been a spell so good to have more. Andrew waves at me from the office so pop my head in to see if the babes are in here. No babes, Andrew just wanted to complain about having to do all of the paper slips for the belts dropped off. Lament with him on then move on to the saloon after making him laugh, simply mentioned how poor I am at drawing numbers. McCalbane had taught, but he then made me a wife afore chaining to a bed. No call for a gal knowing how to write down numbers so never practice. Then am in the saloon and pat on Dan as walk past for the kitchen. Amanda practically throws Balik at me so she can help make vittles. Sandwich day so that is on the good side of things though need pull out our roast. Stop here to feed Balik, Isaac doing same with Sashi. Well not quite the same, he has a bottle full of milk for her. Once am finished feeding Balik I put him back in the little cage they made up for him and put dress back on. Then dart to our house to get out the sandwich roast and cut it up to bring a sandwich to Bartholomew. Gasp when head to give him the sandwich, there is no pig in here. Know that had not take it over to him afore the train. Have not been home since, but no pig in here and no drag marks so predator has not come in to drag off. Little lost I cross the street and go in to the butcher to find Bartholomew cutting up a pig. "Janet good timing." He looks at me a short spell and snorts. "Dan brought the pig over little while after the train stopped. Got enough for four good sized hunks of bacon, plenty of chops, and some roasts asides the hocks. Pondering cutting the hocks in half, cuts down on cost to buyer and meat provided but take a big group to need a hock." Snort and giggle. "Last time sold hocks was to a saloon, reckon they made one up for sandwich and the other for supper." "Heard tale on the pig, reckon boar the size Dan said one hock is good for sandwich and supper for a saloon." Have to shrug at that. "No idea, on a hunt we only just cut up the pig and sell most. Don't recall tribe taking a pig neither, was always coney or deer." "Well afore you pick out a meat Isaac said he wants the ribs. Fen wants a hock, half hock is just as good. Said will make sweet and sour pork with. I enjoy the beef so looking forward to both." Nod and drool a little. "Well here is your sandwich, should get back to saloon Bipin did not get up afore the train and may have a wife now so Dan alone." Bartholomew nods then frowns. "Mail order bride?" Snort and shake my head. "Reckon they would not let an injun sign up to get a bride or be a bride. In this case we got a mess of gals come in to join the tribes, few my age so would look nicely on Bipin." "Oh that was what you was doing." Nod and giggle. "Train come early and no Bipin so walked them to the reservation. Forgot about the pig so good Dan walked it over." Bartholomew snorts and grins. "He had a reason, said he wanted a hunk of bacon for your hunt. Go on over to the saloon need to get the ribs cut." Nod and leave Bartholomew to his cutting, and sandwich. Town rather on the empty side until go in saloon, chairs are full at poker and blackjack. Mess of people playing craps and roulette as well so reckon Dan is nervous sitting in here on his lonesome. Get over to Dan and get smile out of as hop up on the stool next to. "Martin and Gwen went to play poker, still no Bipin." Nod and shrug. "Chief reckon on he not wake up in time for train. Sent the gals over to him first so he may have wife now." Dan snorts and shakes his head. "Honest I always thought you were so fast to decide you were my wife because of your need." Shake my head and giggle. "We are fast to get to the bond once do roll, usual to talk to warrior first and get to know then do roll but not always. Once get to older like Bipin and a few of the gals it become more of is he nice, is good at roll, if yes then bond and strive for babe. We no have much longer to get with babe and is important to us gals." "Janet you gave me one son, is enough. Asides you still have spell longer can get with babe, not even a grey hair yet." Sigh and look down, not looking forward to that. "Do not want become grey hair Dan, also no want die so reckon have to, but no want." Dan snorts and pulls me over to him. "I don't want that either, but then again do since we have lived good life." Nod to that then get spun around to find have glass of water. Reach out and pull that over since do need water. Dan get up since have argument so take big gulp of the water then twist to be facing. Pull coat away from my Colts so they on view and just watch. Dan talks to them some then they decide no argument and sit again. Dan come back and sit for short spell then hops up and gets book to hand to me. "Current say book, doc said you no read yet and you miss so go ahead and read. Can simply say if you bothered there will be slaughter." Look over at Dan and swat but do giggle and open up the book. Another of the future stories which do enjoy though course the future stories are not really. Things are different yet still same asides how get places. Find do want to see time when horse is not mode of transport. Reckon no get chance on but would like, also stop doing bounty when happen, little need for tracker when folk soar through the sky instead of walk, ride horse, or take train. Just sit and read for a spell, is good read, not powerful so far but good. Another argument happen and no look up until Dan over there and point. Look up and the men pale afore sitting so go back down to read and giggle. New people come in afore Dan has come back, though pay no mind to, they will move where want. "Imagine that a reading injun." Look up and over to see Bipin with a gal and grinning. "Bipin was late for train." Bipin sighs and looks down. "Slept in, was here late last night and train was early." Nod and shrug. "No concern, had Andrew, Dan, and me to mind on folk getting off. Andrew little mind since had to do paper for belts, though his numbers better than mine." Bipin snorts and chuckles. "Reckon your numbers better than mine." I giggle a bit at that then the gal with Bipin elbows him. "This is Inayat me gal, well not yet still need do ceremony but name she pick." Inayat smiles. "Mean kindness and have same already so reckon is proper." Nod and smile. "Am glad to meet you, Bipin is nice man, Apache so no touch but deserve gal. Bipin if she yell at you in language you no know no teach meaning. Just know you was bad and need apologize." Inayat snorts and giggles. "Be accident on that happen promise. Brought Inayat along meet you and see if can find work, since am here all day and most night reckon best she is same." Nod and smile at that then Dan come back so point at Dan who get wide eyes. "I didn't do nothing." Giggle a bit and shake head. "Bipin got gal now and want to find her work in town so both together and not leave Inayat in teepee alone so long." Dan nods and looks at her short spell. "Could make deputy would reckon just not sure she has numbers and we got enough for now." Dan looks at me then the kitchen and smiles. "If Inayat is willing see if she can do cook here or with Amanda. Fen has already said they no want a cook unless Chinese." Nod and look at Inayat to get shrug. "Would need learn how do round eye vittles." Shrug and wink. "Round eye vittles are easy, aside things like cake and pie is take what have and put together. Some thing are different, roast instead of cut small for stew or have bites on plate." Inayat smiles so take her hand and lead her into kitchen. Kitchen is big activity, have ribs so Isaac is dashing around along with yelling out orders so every is dash around. Balik wish watch but no see well so go over and pick up. He is big smile and coo at activity, Inayat is big smile as well look at Balik so am smile. "The dark skin there is Isaac, he make powerful good pie and ribs today. Make powerful good sauce for ribs and some other things. He like teach so you would enjoy in this kitchen. The shorter gal there is Amanda, she is not long for this kitchen, getting ice machine built now with store and eatery. She good cook and enjoy teach though has liking for gal. She has gal already, Chun who is yellow skin though prefer called Chinese." Inayat nods and touches Balik. "Oh and this is Balik, son to me and Dan." "Hope to have own soon put within." Nod and smile. "Hoping for daughter next though reckon just have another babe is all can hope for." Amanda snorts and pauses. "Janet you keep promising to give Dan a daughter." Sigh and shake head. "Wish daughter, daughter is nice to have." Isaac has stopped moving to look so may as well introduce. "This is Inayat, she is gal to Bipin and wish work in town so not alone in teepee. Dan reckon no need another deputy so she wish learn round eye vittle and help in here or ice machine eatery." Isaac and Amanda trade a look then get back to dashing. I get put to work making tater salad while they speak on. Seem Isaac not in need of third gal so Amanda need take. Amanda not sure on since have Chun and the other two fellas they hired. Which strikes me as odd since the fellas will bring the orders out to the tables and get them to begin with. Pause doing the salad to go over to Amanda and swat on head. She just look a short spell then giggles and shrugs. "Alright so was not sure would need another gal in kitchen. Not plan on doing lots of cook vittles. Chun can mind counter easy, simple matter of put ice cream in cone or make in to sundae." "So Inayat help make the cone and what you do cook." Amanda sighs and nods. "Reckon so, alright Inayat you will help me once they finish, the workers swear day or two since about ready to do stain on what not already. Meantime I reckon you can sit in here and mind on the babes. Sashi still down there is from Bonita, daughter to Janet since married Chad her first son." Inayat squeaks. "The child you was put with afore the long walk?" Nod and sigh. "When told the elders remain thought he had die, not sure but was what said and no see so could only hope no true." Inayat nods and smiles. "Is good then that life and return, where is?" "On a hunt with Bonita, have hunt wait to take me on with Dan so we wait for them to return, two day was said so reckon morrow perhaps we go." Inayat nods and smiles. "Shall like to meet. Have taken to Cherokee reservation?" Nod and frown. "Have taken him to learn the man things, surprise you no hear on." "Was in farthest tribe, not always get told on things since so many there. Chief reckon know since he get with other chief though reckon he no feel important to relate." "Reckon we got to many tribe in one reservation." Inayat shrugs. "Long walk bad for us, many tribes reduced to few so simply join to others. Many Cherokee in reservation, not all but most. Also should stop speak on, no longer Cherokee am being made Apache and already enjoy man." Snort and giggle. "Bipin any good?" Big smile so reckon all need to know on. "Chun has said she half hopes was Bipin that put her babe within." I groan at Amanda say though Inayat has smile. "Hope did, mean can give him babe as well." Amanda looks at Inayat, then at me and sighs. "Janet, take Inayat over to see Mr. Gladstone. Reckon may as well have him check and see if reckon she can." Inayat look at me and look ready to ask so put up hand. "Mr. Gladstone is a doctor with special interest in our equipment, not for roll. He can tell if we are ready to have babe put within, already have, and swear can sometime know if able or not. Reckon the last is more of a hope on able but is nice to find out." Inayat nods and smiles. "Cost money?" Nod then sigh. "Reckon can ask Bipin if not suppose Dan shall pay since Bipin being deputy is part of sheriff tribe." Take Inayat with me back to see Dan and Bipin who are both frowning at taking her to see Mr. Gladstone and paying for it. So we both shoot plenty of eye daggers at our men and get two sighs then both pull money out. I get five dollars and a reminder on how much to pay for a table cloth, Inayat gets some money and it may be enough. So we head for Mr. Gladstone's house, and office. Honest I wonder how his wife puts up with it. I reckon I would go mad to have people traipsing in and out of my house all day long. Course it is not that often that people go and see him. He does house calls often since with child means he visits and a few other times. Knock and step in calling to get Candice coming out of the back with a smile. Mr. Gladstone also appears so all three of us gals head for him and go into his exam room. The bed he has in here is rather interesting, there are foot rests that a gal puts her feet in so he can take a look. Not the most comfortable of places since you spread quite wide to do so. "Janet I think he finally caught me." Smile up at Candice. "That is great news, so missed the bleeding time?" Get a nod. "Elevated temperature as well, combine the two and we have a babe on the way." Look over at Mr. Gladstone and giggle at Inayat's expression. "Do not worry, he does not have a desire to do more than look. Candice gets all of that sort of attention. He is also a doctor so if Mohin decides you need see a doctor come here." Inayat nods. "Is not comfortable." "Apologies on that, needing to do regular doctoring means needed to get a table all can lay on for whatever reason. Have heard there is in development a better table, the stirrups are at the foot of the bed so you will not stretch near as far." Sounds nice just one question. "Why have you no ordered one?" Mr. Gladstone looks over at me. "Have, just takes time to have it constructed. Is a new design and the metal parts are not standard. Reckon on not many men are working on construction either, new company." Longwood Fourth Hunt Day 01-02 Talk with Candice on what it is like to have a babe within. She is also jealous about not exiting from the top for no reason. Honest I never knew happened, though not that many women were early with babe that I remember in the tribe and never since asides me that I pay attention to. Inayat is given a clean bill of health and is told she works perfectly fine for babes. Bit giddy we head for the store and speak to Elan on a table cloth like Dan wanted. Get a little shocked when he has them in the store. Also three dollars, a few of the gals around town make doilies to sell so is a right proper cost. Since Dan gave me enough for a four dollar table cloth I look around and pick out a small one to use on the table in the sitting room. Spend the walk back to the saloon rather nervous. He only said table cloth and while the one for the sitting room table was only a dollar it was not something I was supposed to get. Inayat knows why I am nervous so teases me all the way to the saloon. Then we go in and get to tell Dan, looks at what I got and how much, then nods and sends Bipin and Inayat to put on the tables. "Dan." Dan looks at me and winks. "Bipin just got to know her and only once. Asides I got another duty for you, go on over to the gun store and look through then pick up the three shotguns we ordered." Gawk at Dan a short spell. "Three shotguns?" Dan snorts. "Got a nice fancy one for sheriff, long barrel so can shoot when they run. Two short barrel for the deputies to lug, better for up close work which we have at the train." Nod then giggle. "Why did you tell me to not go to the gun store until now?" Dan snorts. "Said that so you would not go every day and bother Claire." Sigh then swat Dan and head for the gun store. Admire the look of it on the outside afore stepping in. They got big windows in the front so you can see in, then wide spaced bars so a person can not break a window and grab a gun. Simple little sign, Gun Store, not that the store has a better sign, it's just Store. Makes one giggle a bit but really there's no reason to make the name big and fancy. Then I am going inside, let's just say Dan was right. I go over each and every gun in the store, just looking at them. Plenty of the older revolvers along with the Colt that I have and the military Colt. I have peacemaker now and never had the military model so even pick one up. Nice gun, little heavier than mine but moves well and good aim markers. Whole gun opens up to load in new bullets on this model. Even has quick load canisters for it, would work on mine if'n wasn't a tighter cylinder. Claire just watches me go over everything with a smile then I am finally over to where she is standing. "Honest Janet, we haven't had everything in until now so just seemed wrong to have you come in afore." Giggle a bit. "Half tempted to make you hand over the rifles so can get a feel of them. Dan said we have three shotguns to get so shall take those." Claire giggles. "The long Winchester is the best rifle we got anyhow unless you want a buffalo rifle." Open my mouth then close to hold out my hand, want to hold one afore saying anything. Claire snorts then goes and gets one off the wall. Hands it over to me and long rifle, taller than me that is for sure. Have heard on these and they shoot long distance though hard to shoot man with one at the long distance. Take down a buffalo that is for sure, they were slaughtered to feed the men making the railroad cross the country. Find while good rifle on what have heard, is a little long for me and the long barrel makes hard to hold steady so would need to brace on something. Hand it back to Claire and sigh, then giggle at her expression. "Could use but the long barrel needs to brace to be steady. Asides not worth for me to use, we need get close to make sure on the right man." Claire nods and shrugs. "Honest was of the mind you want one anyway, shall give you the box the shotguns came in." Nod and smile then Claire bend over and pull up box. Do look in at the shotguns and honest, the fancy one is definitely fancy. Whole gun is etched in curlicues and filled with silver to give different look to there. Is quite nice look though have doubts on long term life. The barrels are not all that long, little past my arms in length. As Dan said good for when someone run and using or for meeting riders coming up on town. The other two are quite short, good for hurting group at small distance. In other words ideal if situation arise when meeting train though no good for others near the bad men. All shotgun are obvious shotgun so just have is good to make folk less inclined to do anything aside what said. Wake Andrew up when come in office to drop shotguns off. Giggle a bit on though no hold against, is difficult to stay up all day and most night at first. Reckon Andrew never get all that use, is married and Claire not deputy with. Then back over to Dan who is sit with Martin, Bipin was going for walk of town when get to saloon. Gwen also there so get drag home to check on supper vittles. Whole time saying Isaac is making ribs and shall eat in saloon. Then we in house and show Gwen around to every room. She is smile at everything then we stop in kitchen. "Honest am tempted to make Martin stop marshal and deputy here or sheriff nother town for a house." "You no have house?" Gwen shakes her head. "We have a boarding house, is like hotel but smaller. The gal running let's me cook with her but she decide on what we make and honest want my own kitchen." Nod and giggle. "Told Martin?" Gwen nods. "He agrees with me on it since there is lock on door but only good when inside, no key for the lock. Doesn't help the gal is not that good of a cook and Irish to boot so lot of tater stuff.' "So you are taking the big bounties to afford a house?" Gwen nods and smiles. "Honest this one was not one we would have done, according to what was said there are twenty or thirty men and military trained." Snort and giggle. "Have encountered soldier, slaughtered them with ease. They had set up a watch around camp then fell asleep on watch so moved up on sly and kilt three then indicated a fourth as done." Gwen gawks for a short spell. "Can you teach me to move on the sly?' Shake head. "Could just is not easy, especially for something like that, if had been seen like as not been shot. Great Spirit like keeping me here, you he may not." Gwen nods and frowns. "Reckon Martin wouldn't let me do that anyhow." Snort and giggle then we go back over to the saloon. Supper rolls around and we get a table, share with a few others. Pig ribs are popular so entire town come over to eat. Number of injun as well so saloon near overflowing on first floor. As turn out good Bartholomew cut the ribs short, captain come over for some as well. Practically swim in soldiers for a spell along with all the rest. Honest the tables are filled almost before they empty for the next group to eat the ribs. Tater salad get eaten almost fast as ribs so am all beam on, made the salad. Isaac cook up the tater but rest I did and yes silly but make feel good that something I make is just as good. No whoring on this night, since am little worry on find bandit and fast return. At least hope so and aside the people wanting rib is quiet night in saloon. Two arguments over nothing really so is nice night, only good part is feeding Balik. When finally go bed, Martin and Gwen drooping long afore we do, put Martin and Gwen in Chad and Bonita room. Wake up the next day and ponder bit on doing hunt. On one hand be good to have more coney so can make tortilla. Other hand though would wake the babes and the only mom is out on hunt. Mean Gwen and Martin get to listen and they have one on way. Best to let them not know how work until have their own. Honest had no idea being mom to a babe was like this. There is a good side to losing babe until adult. Not much of one but there are times when it is tempting to shuffle the two off elsewhere. Reason have Amanda and Isaac mind them during day, is less to minding a gambling saloon than two babes which sounds wrong but true. Just lay there a bit then hop up, need to collect the two and down to kitchen. Get dressed and head in kitchen to get the stove heating up, then add wood to the dining room heater. All that done go up and collect the babes with blankets. See to them and get the milk heating though both are still at the no want be awake stage. Am left alone with the babes and vittles until getting vittles into the dining room. Not a good experience so swat Dan a little hard. Get some eye daggers shot at me for that, am sorry for hitting so hard but was not fun and hard to feed Balik along with hold a bottle for Sashi. Once we finish vittles Dan has Gwen and Martin take Balik and Sashi to the saloon. "Janet is there a reason for no roll last night?" Sigh and look down. "Yes Dan, am worry on return from this gang." Dan sighs and pulls me out of the chair to his lap. "You said you never worry about if you return or not." Nod and look at my wonderful husband. "No worry on me, do worry on you and honest, got lucky last time. The soldiers were arrogant." Dan nods then adjusts under so now am aware that my husband is happy to see me. Well so I reckon I had best see to his needs and provide a nice roll for my husband. Now that he is pressing in to me I find that I really want one. Missing out on last night has gotten me to almost needing so move on Dan and get smile. Am smiling as well because I so want my husband buried where he belong. Then Dan is reaching down to get out of his pants, so I am moving about to get my dress out of the way. Welcome Dan in with a moan, had not gotten dress off so just sitting at waist when Dan pull down on him. Sudden intrusion not the best feeling but is all this wife needs to need husband moving. Shortly Dan is moving so am bouncing on him, sitting sideways on lap so not best to ride but still move enough. Dan is helping as he pumps up into, his arms are moving me up and down and is feeling good. Then we are kissing so all is right in land, though would not mind getting set on the table so Dan can move better. Pushing Dan back suggest this and get grin then am being pulled off my husband. Moan in dismay on this, really wanted him to stay inside. Still am getting put on table, legs spread wide and Dan comes back to me. This time the sudden intrusion is exactly what wanted, still moan but happy moan instead of ouch moan, not that Dan seemed to care. Moving again so moan, Dan is churning my equipment up something fierce and just what I wanted. Then I am getting noisy since the stars fell on with a vengeance. Dan is grinning then leans in and kisses me. I press to him full as can while we kiss and he churns up my equipment. All sudden am sent to stars again. Can't help the almost scream into kiss with Dan. The stars came so fast and sudden, also a little overpowering for me and seem Dan. He not move so well but still moving then groan and am flooded with warmth. Is welcome though little sudden on that, Dan seem to agree he look little surprised when stop kiss. "That was unexpected you grabbed at me down there." Giggle and am beam, Dan still within and emptying. "Mean am with your babe again." Dan snorts and swats on head. "Bleeding time just ended." Nod and wink. "Last week and am not like other gals. No exit out top for no reason." Dan rolls his eyes. "Reckon shall enjoy getting roll in the dining room." Giggle and nod, was a fun first. Pout when Dan pull out, still almost ready so could do a roll again. Do need get to saloon, marshal is not quite as listened to as sheriff in his own town. Still would rather stay on table full of Dan, is husband and aside needing rolls still want to only be with him. Course part of that is simply, Dan help with babes. While crossing street get to ponder on why exactly it took us so long to do roll in dining room. Bonita no get roll out of Chad either, least not while we are here. Reckon is just no real desire to let the other watch. Perhaps Chad has said to Bonita to not, or Bonita reckon better, Chad does look at me. Not extra at least but he does see me as gal. Reckon good he at least know that am a gal, also feel wrong that he can look at and admire body. Am his mom after all so we are related and close at that. Still he has never said anything wrong, his one comment on the new leather was wishing to see Bonita in so reckon naught to worry on being wanted by Chad. Then we are inside saloon and we go two different ways, Dan heads for Martin and argument. Sally beckoned to me so I go that way. Have feeling she will ask why no whoring then am up to her and there is another gal here. Look her over and well if'n recall right was one of the Cherokee. "Janet this gal is wanting to do some whoring, you have the only room that is not used often as possible." Nod and look her over, and well best ask on this. "No find man?" Get a head shake. "Found two that liked but no good in roll." Sally is frowning now. "Wait, this is one of the Cherokee gals?" Nod and giggle at expression Sally have. "Reckon no longer Cherokee, we are not swapping tribe members. What happen is gals lose their tribe here or there and come to join new tribe. Get new ceremony and new name." Frown and turn to her. "You do know that the warriors may not like that you are whoring?" Get a nod and a smile. "If must will go new reservation, though when ask far chief he say that nother tribe coming so reckon just find a man there." Frown at that. "All gals in all tribes will do same. There is something new just learn on, not sure chief know yet. Washington is trying to add land to reservation so would add more tribes, these would go toward Wicker would reckon. No saying go Wicker and wait, this no sure thing, only try." She nods and smiles. "Add that much land and will come close to what have at Cherokee reservation." "Janet you will need figure out how it works since share room. You don't whore when ready for babe just most rest of time you do. Make it hard on her to whore and reckon the fellas not like searching for a room with his whore." We both look at Sally. "This true no mind on that afore." Turn to look up at her. "Reckon you get enough if you whore during day while I do night when do whore?" Get a smile and a nod. "Yes, do not have huge need for roll." Smile at that then thought come. "Would you be willing go on hunt? Am only for Dan on hunt, need lessened he is enough though would like more roll than night. We are getting Apache and if Gwen can get them to agree one or two marshal who if'n recall right are single. Round eye but seemed nice enough, naught else you get portion of bounty." Sally swats me. "Janet you really need to stop encouraging my whores to go on hunts." Swat Sally back. "If no go on hunt no find man to marry and have babes. Something most gals want, asides the marshals need more folk willing to do hunt." Sally tosses up her hands. "Alright, reckon can send a runner and get some volunteers to fill in the rooms while you and whoever else goes is gone." Nod then frown. "You no do already?" Sally shakes her head and shrugs. "Never really thought about it afore. Keeps my income up and does help out the tribes. Not that seem to need much, you do that enough for town." "We only found a travel bag that was on reservation land anyway. They are getting mess halls, four according to captain so they can eat like we do. There was talk of getting a library, not heard on that one." Sally swats me again so I get to lead her up to my room to look over. Show where everything is, and say what you do for the fella that is paying to ride. Get swat on the head for that one, though she is giggling so I am giggling and is rather fun. Find out her name is Atmaja, no wish change to Apache and makes me laugh. Mean daughter so I start calling her daughter and she is laugh with. Grin and take her back to Sally and introduce her as daughter getting Sally to snort. She then has me take her to Dan and Dan fall out of stool. Dan get up while we are laughing and swat on head so explain why call her daughter, get some eye daggers shot at me. Take her over to the store and get a skirt and camisole to wear while whoring. Then back to the saloon and let her go find a fella to buy time with her. Dan swat on head then pull up into lap and we watch. She go around like I had said, touching fellas on the shoulder and smiling at them. Then with a squeak she is pulled into a lap so am all beam. Even more when they both stand up and head for Sally. Sigh and lean against Dan happy for her, also happy that fella taking her is rather good at the roll. We watch her go up, man pay then farther up to get to the roll. Dan sighs so look up at him, he look back and wink. "Can't believe you are letting our daughter whore." Snort and pinch on his nose. "She my daughter no you daughter." Dan snorts and pinch on my nose. "My daughter not your daughter." I just can't find anything else to say to that so just giggle a spell. Dan is chuckling along with me so great fun. Quiet day all the way around really, Balik and Sashi are well behaved babes today, Amanda is not sure on letting me feed him when go to do. Does after a swat on head so all is right in land. After feed Balik take Bartholomew a sandwich, got the meat for such and do shoot about half his meats. Also make one for me and Dan though get surprise when go into his shop. He has assistant now, am met by him so am a little shocked. Bartholomew saves by coming over for his sandwich then get to go make a second. Unable to think of a reason why not I make another sandwich. Then back over to the saloon to sit with Dan and eat ours. The afternoon goes by quietly, mostly we just enjoy watching Atmaja finding man after man. For supper we go to the eatery to try out the sweet and sour pork. This turns out better than the beef and Fen is quite happy, been busy all day. Don't have pig all that often in town so when there is some on offer to buy everybody comes. Dan and I sit with Kunis since he had heard on the sweet and sour pork. On the way back to the saloon, me trying to convince Dan to be first customer again, we run into the Apache picked to come with us. Look them over and the two unblooded are young as Atmaja. Perhaps she can pick one to stay with. It is said that after being blooded a warrior is different, not sure I believe though do know that feel different after killing someone. Dan was a little more serious after we did a wanted dead bounty, not that he was like a kid afore. "No gals for you three?" Three shaken heads and the blooded warrior is not much older than the other two. "None of the new gals liked us so we are waiting on the new tribe." Dan puts his arms around me. "Janet is spoken for on the hunt so you three are finding gals, least two we may get other marshals to come along." Three nods and they go in the saloon afore us. Dan heads for the stools set aside for us so I keep going, need to get in whore wear. Not that I go past where Sally usually stands. Atmaja is standing there and one of the three warriors is with her, trying to talk her into going along. Push him back a step then pull her farther up to speak to on things. "Is he one of the warrior you try already?" She nods and sighs. "Nice man, like look at, but he was all about getting his pleasure." Look him over and giggle. "Reckon he not been getting roll much. Dan first time had him he was close to the same, rode hard and fast. At time need was so strong not care much. He has gotten better, we do slow loving roll now, coax into fast roll still is nice." Atmaja snorts and giggles.
