 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m Already There\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Little Joe Cartwright’s vision faded in and out, not knowing where he was or why he was there; all he knew was he must be dead because he was flying and only angels flew. His mind envisioned his mother greeting him as the clouds of dust swirled around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Pa? I\u2019m sorry,\u201d fourteen year old Joe pitifully cried before the darkness\u00a0finally descended.\u00a0 Joe laid sprawled on the trail with no one around.<\/span><\/p>\n

****<\/span><\/p>\n

He awoke to see the faint outline of a woman dressed in white appear; her blonde hair curled around her face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMomma?\u201d Little Joe called and reached out as he fought to see clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJoseph, mon b\u00e9b\u00e9,\u201d a feminine voice with a French accent answered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI miss you. Is this heaven?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She answered in words he didn\u2019t understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMomma? I hurt\u2026\u201d Joe raised his hand to his head and winced as the pain increased.\u00a0 “It hurts.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShh. Mon petite Joseph…, don\u2019t make a sound,\u201d the woman spoke as she knelt next to Joe and ran her fingertips over his face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI miss you momma\u2026 Momma, please\u2026 It hurts\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know Joseph, but you must hang on.\u00a0\u00a0 Please believe that your Papa will come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPapa\u2019s dead?\u201d Joe used the term for his father that he had as a small child, especially when he needed to be comforted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo my precious, your papa is not dead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMomma… When are you coming home?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Joseph, I\u2019m already there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Marie ran the back of her fingers down her son\u2019s cheek.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Where?\u201d Joe asked. Unable to stop them, tears caused by his injury as well as grief fell down his cheeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Shhhh. I’m the sunshine in your hair, I’m the shadow on the ground, I’m the whisper in the wind, I’m your imaginary friend, and I know I’m in your prayers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy prayers\u2026 Momma, I miss you. Hold me,\u201d Joe quietly cried. \u201cPlease come home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m already there, Petite Joseph. I’m the beat in your heart, I’m the moonlight shining down, I’m the whisper in the wind, Oh\u2026 I’m already there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love you Momma,\u201d Joe whispered as he again lost his tenuous grip on consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

*****<\/span><\/p>\n

Boots climbed the staircase and struck the hardwood flooring along the hallway outside the door to the youngest Cartwright\u2019s bedroom. As the door opened, light from the hallway filtered into the darkened room, the woman smiled and faded deeper into the shadows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell Joe, what did you do this time?\u201d Paul Martin asked as he set his black kit on the night stand next to his patient\u2019s bed. \u201cJoseph?\u201d Paul asked as Joe continued to look to the opposite side of the bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJoe?\u201d Ben asked as he stepped around the bed to face his youngest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe was there…\u201d Joe whispered, oblivious to the two men who stood beside his bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben looked to Paul who placed his hand to Joe\u2019s shoulder to gain his attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJoe, can you tell me what happened?\u201d Paul asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

After fifteen minutes of examining his patient, Paul felt confident that with a couple of days of complete bed rest his patient would be fine to return to light duty, and by the end of the week, Joe Cartwright could resume his full responsibilities on the Ponderosa. But having received no answers to his questions asked, he worried about the mental state of his patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben escorted the physician to the first floor and waited for the doctor to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not acting like the Little Joe I know, Ben. I think that he\u2019s suffered a concussion\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be alright after a few days of bed rest\u2026 won\u2019t he?\u201d Ben asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe should be, but this keeping quiet\u2026 And this mystery woman\u2026\u201d Paul Martin declined a cup of coffee from Hop Sing. \u201cBen, just keep him in bed for a few days, but see if you can get him to talk\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will. And if we need you, I\u2019ll send one of the men to town for you,\u201d answered Ben.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know you will, let\u2019s just hope that he\u2019ll recover without any further need of my services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After the doctor left the house, Ben returned to his son\u2019s bedroom where he reclaimed his seat in the chair next to the bed. His son had not turned to look at him, yet he could see the trail of tears that fell down his youngest son\u2019s face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you in pain?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe shook his head no. \u201cI miss her. She came to me,\u201d Joe whispered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s here\u2026 She said she was already here\u2026 The sun\u2026 The moon\u2026 The whisper\u2026\u201d Joe\u2019s voice faded as his eyes drifted closed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben sat forward, sweeping his son\u2019s bangs from his face and remembered the times when he thought he had heard his beloved Marie or Inger or Elizabeth only to turn around and find he was alone; it was then he knew in his heart the identify of the mystery woman.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPa?\u201d Hoss and Adam inquired as they entered the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam continued, \u201cCharlie came and got us from the field\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both brothers were scared when their foreman had informed them that Ben had rode Buck across the main yard to their home, carrying an unconscious Little Joe in his arms. They feared the worse when they saw their little brother lying ever so still in his bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be okay. Doc said a few days in bed and he\u2019ll be just fine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Relief flooded through the brothers, but it was Adam who expressed his relief through sarcasm, \u201cWhy does this always happen just as we\u2019re ready to start haying?\u201d As the tension in his body faded, he relaxed to lean against the door jam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust lucky I guess,\u201d Joe sleepily answered as he fought against the effects of his concussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it lucky that your horse spooked and threw you \u2026\u201d Hoss exclaimed, softening his voice when Joe winced, he continued, \u201cPa, Charlie told us a little of what you thought happened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wouldn\u2019t a happened if I\u2019d been on Cochise,\u201d Joe mumbled.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t have been riding Largo if you\u2019d closed the gates.\u201d Ben saw his son wince at his words.\u00a0 As a father he grieved that he chose now to remind his son of the root cause of this accident, had the boy closed the gates as he should have, Cochise would not have gotten out of the barn to run loose out in the field and ultimately suffering a stone bruise to the bottom of a hoof.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be okay, won\u2019t he pa?\u201d Joe asked, knowing why he was restricted to riding the older, plod-along horse Largo. It was because of the horse\u2019s propensity to be bomb-proof that Joe had not paid attention to his surroundings on his way home and was caught unaware when a fox bolted across the road in front of his horse\u2019s hooves causing the horse to rear and shy, deposing his rider backwards to the ground. Largo came to a stop not ten feet away from its fallen rider and proceeded to munch a patch of grass.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCochise will heal, as will you. Okay boys, Joe needs his sleep,” Ben explained as he stood to talk towards the door in an effort to shoo his older sons out of the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPa?\u201d Joe called out quietly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, son?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou do believe me\u2026\u201d Joe\u2019s eyelids quickly rose only to slowly lower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben cocked his head curiously.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat Momma was here?\u201d Joe replied, \u201cand I saw her\u2026 She talked to me\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did she say?\u201d Ben asked as he returned to sit down on the side of his son\u2019s bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me you\u2019d come… Pa, she\u2019s my guardian angel, isn\u2019t she?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes Joe, your mother, like Inger and like Elizabeth,\u201d Ben looked from one son to the next, \u201ceach of your mothers watches over you and I know they\u2019ll always be in our hearts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing as how we don\u2019t get into nearly as much trouble as Shortshanks there, guess your momma and my momma spend most of their times helpin\u2019 Joe\u2019s momma, don’t ya reckon Adam?\u201d Hoss teased.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a full time job for just the three of us to keep an eye on him,\u201d Adam replied.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking of keeping an eye on Joe\u2026 just who was supposed to go to town for the mail today?\u201d Ben asked. \u201cWhy was it that Joe was on that road home when he should have been here helping Hop Sing in the garden?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUh, Pa\u2026 We didn\u2019t think he\u2019d get hurt when I offered him to go to town instead of me\u2026 We just thought he\u2019d enjoy some time away from the ranch\u2026\u201d Adam stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, he looked so pathetic, Pa\u2026 Not being able to ride his pony,\u201d Hoss admitted. \u201cAdam and I thought it would cheer him up, gettin\u2019 to go into town for the mail. I cain\u2019t believed Largo dumped ya.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t do it on purpose,\u201d Joe quietly voiced. \u201cHe got outfoxed by a fox\u2026 I saw it scurry into the shrubs when I was falling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, all that matters is that Joe\u2019s going to be okay.”\u00a0 Looking to Adam and Hoss with that look, Ben continued, “Why don\u2019t you boys go get cleaned up for supper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSure Pa,\u201d Adam stated as Hoss followed him down the hallway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben sat back down in the chair beside Joe\u2019s bed and inhaled deeply before exhaling, \u201cThank you, Marie, my love\u2026 Thank you for watching over our son. I don\u2019t know how you did it, but I heard you loud and clear that Joe needed me,\u201d he voiced aloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closing his eyes, Ben smiled as he thought he felt the soft touch of a woman\u2019s fingers upon his cheek.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll always be here, my love, watching,\u201d Marie stated as she stepped back to stand between Elizabeth and Inger, all three smiled at the man who had captured their hearts and the young man who was the heart of the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

~The End<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Thank you to Lonestar for performing the song that stood as the inspiration for this story. No copyright infringement is intended, it\u2019s just a beautiful song that spoke so eloquently of Marie and her feelings for her son. In actuality, this song could apply to Inger or Elizabeth; I chose Marie and Joe for this story because Little Joe knew his mother.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bond between mother and son is a close one, and you certainly showed just how close it was between Joe and Marie. I liked also the conclusion, where Ben also felt that closeness with his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

Author’s Response: <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Krystyna, I agree with your sentiments on the bond between mother and son.\u00a0 The ending wasn’t planned to happen the way I ultimately wrote it.\u00a0 I was getting ready to post the story and was doing one last read through when my writing muse directed me to change the ending.\u00a0 I’m glad you liked it.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
