RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. She thought it was a little sad that they did not want to learn... what the hell was she saying? She made up this story that seemed far fetched and well... it was either cry about it or adjust to this way of life and find something to do. Good thing, she had watched Outlander and she had the skill set to be a teacher. However, what if another teacher was sent and would come along in a week or two... well, she would deal with that as it came. Well, school is not stupid but rather the people who do not appreciate the opportunity... I might do well to make lessons after school for adults in the community. Where was she coming up with these ideas?! It was at that moment that the teenage girl came in with a bit of food. I was making dinner so, I have a bit of chilli and bread for you, Miss... She said with a smile as Kate asked, What's your name? Susan looked startled by the question, Susan... She said simply before Kate replied. Well, Thank you, Susan. She smiled before looking at the eldest of the four brothers... My name is Kate Williams, or Ms. Williams. She mentioned. And I don't mind... most teenagers don't think that they need schooling and like to think that they know everything. She laughed. She had been a substitute teacher for two weeks at a High School and it had been hell... but she had not let the teenagers break her with their cruel remarks. One of the girls had told her that she could lick her O-ring... She would never forget that moment as the teenagers were laughing and she knew that she would lose control. So, she put her foot down and made sure that the girl went to the principals office. She ended up dropping out of school... it was something sad but teachers couldn't always win. Thank you for bringing me into your home after my unfortunate accident. She mentioned as Susan waited to be directed to do something else. Do you want something to eat as well, sir? She asked Benjamin.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Adults? In school? That was something Ben had never heard of before, but then he never did pay much attention to city folk and their strange ideas. He was presuming she was city folk, judging by her bizarre attire. Was this the new fashion? It was still boiling hot, even in here, and he reached up to rub at his forehead. Either she was giving him a headache, or the heat was. Ben had the grace to feel somewhat ashamed when she asked the maid - Susan - for a name. He should have known that name, in truth. Probably his mother would be upset if she knew how little he paid attention to the help. She had been a kind woman, the sort who, like Ms. Kate Williams, noticed people. Ma'am, Ms. Williams, I know most schools don't take kids over 15, some even refused to take those over 13, but I would like my brother to go. Not Jess, he gestured to the door to indicate the boy who had stormed out, but Luke, the youngest. He's a good kid, real smart. 16 now, but he really wants to learn somethin' bad and I'd appreciate it you'd take him on. This wasn't how he'd hoped to meet her. He was sweaty from the days work, and not exactly on his best behavior after the days annoyances but he wanted nothing more than for his brother to get this opportunity. Still, she'd said 'adult' school so he was betting she'd be okay with teaching Luke. He frowned at Susan who was hovering nearby. Miss Susan, it was the first time he'd said her name, we're good here. Why don't you go outside and see if the boys are back with the doc yet? The amount of time it would take them to get back would be directly related to the doc's position. If he was on rounds to the Silver Star - Mrs. Matthews was constantly falling ill these days - they would be back quick. If, however, he was in town it would be two hours at the least. The sooner the doc was here to look at Ms. Williams, the better Ben would feel. He didn't want her dying in his living room.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Well, I dont mind your brother being part of the class. She was going to assume that there were quite a few children that could use an education by the state. Well, how was she going to get paid to be a teacher? Would it be like Laura Ingalls in the popular book series, Little House on the Prairie? She didnt think that Laura was even alive yet that was so strange to thing how far in time she was. There will be a few students enrolling by the end of August, I suppose She said thinking that the chilli was a little too hot for a day like this as she thought it was the perfect day for a BBQ with corn on the cob and watermelon. Looking to Susan, she asked. I couldnt trouble you for some water to drink? She was starting to feel a little better. Susan nodded. I will do that and then watch for your brother, Mr. Wilson. She said softly before turning and rushing away to the kitchens he had actually said her name. It was so surprising. Things got silent and awkward as Kate asked. So, how long has your family been in Oklahoma territory? She asked curiously feeling that she would be more comfortable with words than silence. Susan returned with some cold water with some ice from the icebox a luxury in the middle of summer. Here, you are Miss. Kate thanked her. The chili on a little side table but she only wanted the bread. Susan went towards the front porch so that she could watch for the other brothers she wanted to see Noah again. Tying her bonnet on her head, she opened the door to see that someone was in the distance.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Thank you, ma'am, Ben said in answer to her agreeing to take Luke on. He wondered how long she'd be amendable to the boys presence when she realized what a handful he was. She liked talking, but he wasn't much for words, especially with women. What did you say to women? You couldn't talk about normal things, like cattle or fences... While the maid - no, Susan, got the water they sat in uncomfortable silence until Ms. Williams asked him how long his family had been here. Awhile, he answered. Susan returned with the water and his eyes narrowed at the ice but he was nothing if not a gracious host and he would not complain about this luxury. If anyone should receive the ice, it was the school teacher. He grabbed his hat and fiddled with it, anything to give himself something to do. He really had no idea what to say to her. Luke's taught himself to read, he blurted, real smart kid. Only one in the family. He says it was easy, he smiled as he spoke of his brother, it was an easy thing to do. He was proud of the kid, but also he knew it was complete bullshit. Someone taught the kid, he just didn't know who. The smile was gone as soon as he finished speaking. He got to his feet, pacing away from her and moving to push the curtains aside so he could look out the window. Doc had been at the Silver Star and he rode between Noah and Luke. They were shapes in the distance for some time before they finally reached the edge of the fence line. When they reached the house Luke slid out of his saddle before his horse had even properly stopped moving, Ben! He shouted at the top of his lungs, Ben we got the doc! Is she alive? The 'doc' was more sedate in his dismounting, and he had the disgruntled, bemused look of a man who had just been roughly manhandled by the Wilson boys. Noah grinned when he saw Susan. He winked at her as he followed the doc to the porch. Luke did not wait for them, he burst into the house, running at full speed. So fast that he literally slid across the floor and ran head first into his older brother. Ben caught the boy by the arms, Woah there, buddy.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Well, this was entirely awkward as she was sitting there and he did not really talk about much. The damn man had said, Awhile. To her question and she took a hint that he did not want to talk to her and so, she took the opportunity to eat the bread by dipping it into the chili and drinking her water. There was a clock ticking somewhere that she noticed but she did not know where exactly. Oh he taught himself to read thats dedication. Do you have a favourite book? She said trying to make some form of conversation but that was when he abruptly stood up and Kate had a bewildered look on her face. However, it soon came to light what had happened it seemed that his brothers had returned with the doctor. There was a holler from outside as she turned herself in her seat and blinked, Sweet baby Jesus She said with wild hazel eyes that was a crass way of asking but she sat where she was for fear that if she got up then she would be on the ground again. Susan was on the front porch waiting as she watched the youngest of the brother slide off his mount and onto the ground, hollering. She wanted to say something but did not dare do so as Noah was the next off his horse The doctor was a stout older man who was taking his time getting off his horse Noah walked closer to her and gave her a wink as she felt her cheeks become inflamed. She needed to get a grip on herself around him but she was like a lovesick puppy dog. Shes alive Susan said softly to inform them but Luke was already inside the house as she waited for the doctor and Noah to enter. Kate continued to sit feeling a little odd because of all the fuss over her. Although, she was usually the centre of attention when teaching, she did not like when she was the one being fussed over. However, she knew that she could faint again with her head injury.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Favorite book? Ben had ignored the question because he didn't quite know how to tell such an educated woman that he'd only gone to school long enough to realize he hated the teacher and after that he worked the ranch with his father and little else. Luke panted in his grasp, eyes wide as he looked over Ben's shoulder, trying to get a good look at the woman. Manners, Ben warned as he let the boy go. Luke hurried to the center of the room, youthful, handsome features splitting into a grin. Ma'am! He said, Glad to see you're alive, and all. I'm Luke, Luke Wilson. He held out his hand, jerked it back and ripped off his hat then held out his hand again. Pleasure to meet you. Now that he was over the shock of finding a wounded, babbling woman in the back yard he was excited. She was pretty and Luke was nothing if not curious. Especially about pretty women. Ben held the door open, ignoring his younger brother as he waited for the doc to reach the door. Doc. Nice of you to come, He said by way of greeting. He held out his hand to shake the doctor's hand. He recognize the look in the doc's eyes right away, Sorry about the fuss. The teacher had a tumble in our yard. Hit her head. We tended to it best we could but she fainted earlier and we just want to make sure she's alright. Noah lingered on the porch as the doctor walked in. He hooked his thumbs in his belt loops and grinned at Susan. He didn't dare say much with Ben standing right there. So uh, he licked at his bottom lip, want to help me rub the horses down? If Ben questioned him on it he'd point out that Luke was currently enamored and Jess was no where in sight. It only made sense that he'd enlist the help of the ... well, hired help.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. She wanted to ask if they had a brother named Owen but they would never get her joke and so, she said. Pleased to meet you Im Ms. Kate Williams. She stated as she put out her own hand. I would stay up but I dont think I ought to risk it just yet She smiled good naturedly. She wondered if he would be so polite to her when he heard that he would be going to school. Her eyes moved to the entrance of the sitting room as the eldest of the brothers was talking to the doctor. Doctor Abrams was a portly man and the only doctor for miles. His work could be strange and difficult as well as someone with a case of thinking they were sick when they simply were not. Well, Mrs. Matthews was going on about some ailment today. I was just about finished up when your two brothers came barrelling in and kidnapped me. He was being a tad overdramatic. Whats this about a dead woman? He walked a few steps and was taken aback by the young woman who was in the oddest of clothing. He did not pay attention to that much longer for he was already asking questions. Alright, what is the trouble took a bit of a tumble, huh? Well, it was a bit more than a tumble. I fell into a trench after my horse was spooked and I was found sometime after. She explained as he nodded. Ah well do a quick check up and see if you will be alright. He looked over to Luke and Benjamin. We are going to need some privacy, lads. He said to the two of them. He would have preferred a bedroom but the sitting room would do well without prying eyes. As for Susan, she was standing on the porch with a smile on her lips trying not to be obvious. Uh I suppose so She said with a shrug, licking her own lips and wondering if he was going to kiss her again she rather enjoyed that. Susan glanced at the closed door before the two of them made their way towards the barn so they could care for the horses.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Luke was still grinning like an idiot when the Doctor rolled in and effectively pushed him out of the way. He listened to the conversation between the two and added, helpfully, She was babbling when she woke up! Like- Luke, Ben warned. The boy snapped his mouth shut, but his eyes stayed wide and eager. The doctor said he needs privacy, Ben held the door wide and slipped his hat back on his head, Come. Luke sighed but he followed his brother out the door. Before the door could close he said, loudly enough that it carried back into the living area, She's real pretty, isn't she Ben? Ben sighed heavily as he closed the door. For a smart kid Luke could be real stupid sometimes. In the excitement he'd forgotten about the ravine, and the cows, but almost as soon as they were out the door he remembered and he studied the yard, hoping for a glimpse of Jesse. They'd have to have a talk. He really took them into the ravine? He asked. Luke hopped down the porch steps, head still in a daze because of the excitement of the stranger, but he looked up at Ben's question with a startled, wide gaze, Yeah, Ben. We all did, but I mean, once he started we had to help or make him do it himself. Dammit, Ben growled, damned idiot. Noah led two of the horses, he let Susan take the other. Almost as soon as all three were tethered and ready to be worked on, he had Susan by the arm. He pressed her up into a nearby stall, other hand cupping her cheek as he kissed her with all the need and desire of a kid his age. She was the first girl he'd ever been with, and she made his blood boil every time he saw her. He wasn't stupid though, he knew a ranch hand could walk in at any minute, so he didn't let himself kiss her for long. The moment he pulled back, he heard footsteps coming from the rear entrance of the barn. He stepped back quick, releasing Susan's arm and reaching up to adjust his hat - a nervous gesture he'd learned from Ben. Noah? It was Jesse. Anger, hot and quick rushed through Noah's veins. He hadn't forgotten the ravine either. We should brush them down, he said to Susan, tone gentler than it might have been if she'd been Luke or any other man. He was careful with her though, always. You brought the doctor back? Jesse asked. You think I'm talking to you but I'm not because if I talk to you I'm gonna' punch your lights out, Noah said as he started stripping the horses of their saddles and tack.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. The Doctor looked to the Wilson boy as he said, Well, nonsense does tend to happen with head injuries. He said as he glanced back at the young woman who was looking a bit sheepish. Sorry to alert everyone with all this. The Doctor shook his head as the door was closed and they were left alone. The physical consisted of him checking her heart, reflexes as well as her head for any bumps. Also the doctor dressed the cut on her cheek. You suffered a concussion... So you will need bed rest for a few days to make sure that your brain hasn't been addled. He stated as he was thinking for a moment. You live in town to in that room over the school house. He haven't heard of a new teacher but he supposed that he could tell the Mayor that she was in the area and would be ready to teach for the new year that was to started in a few weeks. Of course, school was put on hold for the harvest and then would be back in session. A few people in town will be happy for a new teacher, the last one went and got herself married. He smiled, and if you aren't careful... You will be married soon too. He was teasing but it was what happened. Well, there was also a lot of widows because of the war. And young men who returned all addled or injures because of the cannon fire. A lot of people were also moving out west for the new opportunities. Kate nodded and said, I don't think you will have to worry about me. She had to try to get home... --- The feel of his body pressed up against hers was something that she missed... Susan was not stupid, she knew that she was a practice girl but she was happy with being Noah's practice girl. She pushed away from him as she heard someone entering the stable as she went towards one of the horses to pretend like she was going to brush out the dirt and grit from the field. It was Jesse, the family adopted brother which she had found odd but never questioned it. Noah sounded like he was pisses about something and she listened to the exchange between the two.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. You're nothin' but a gutless littl- Jesse started in. He knew the ravine was dangerous but there was water down there! Lots of water, enough to keep the damn cows happy for weeks and they wouldn't have to move them every few days. It was just stubborn stupidity that kept Ben from moving them down there and Jesse had taken initiative and done the smart thing. It wasn't his problem they were all gutless. Noah did not let Jesse finish whatever the hell insult he had in mind. He lurched around the mare and launched himself at his 'adopted' brother, fists flying. The two had fought before. They fought quite often, actually. When they were kids it was cute, but now that they were older their fights often ended in multiple bruises, swollen eyes, swollen lips and one time a broken leg. Although the breaking part had been an accident, Jesse hadn't meant to push Noah off the hay loft but once it happened there was no taking it back. Their shouting alerted Ben's attention, and with Luke trailing behind he took off for the barn. Idiots! He growled as he moved to pull Noah away from Jesse. Luke! Luke jumped into the fray, but he wasn't as strong as Jesse so he settled for jumping on the older boys back and catching him in a strangle hold around the neck. Between Luke's awkward little stranglehold and Ben the fight was over soon enough. Ben dragged Noah out of the barn, pushing him so hard the younger boy tumbled to the ground. Already his lip was fattening and he had a scrape under one eye. Stay! Ben barked before he returned to the barn. Jesse! Jesse wasn't struggling anymore, but Luke was still hanging from his back. Take a walk! Ben roared, at this point too angry to even see straight. Luke, go with him! Keep him the hell away from the house! Luke finally dropped from Jesse's back, But Ben I- Go! Both of you! Ben threw his hat to the ground with a curse. He paced the length of the barn. Idiot boys. Their constant bickering was going to be the death of him. He noticed the girl - Susan? -and reached down to grab his hat as he left the barn. Noah was on his feet by the time Ben barged back out, and he danced back a few steps, giving his older brother wide berth. Tend to the horses! Ben snapped. He wasn't in the mood for chastising either boy just yet. He headed for the house, stomping up the steps and swinging the door open so hard it banged against the wall. He stopped short when he saw the doc and Ms. Williams. He'd been so angry he'd forgotten he had company.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. She was certainly not going to jump into a fight between two of the brothers, she was however so shocked as her hands covered her mouth to try not to cry out at the violence. She moved away with the mare and said, Whoa, girl... The horse could easily get spooked by the two boys who were roughhousing in the barn. Guys... She started but it was then that Luke came running in to barn and jumped on Jesse. Ben was now pulling Noah away and cursing him out angrily. Susan had witnessed the entire thing without being involved since she did not much like the roughhousing in this home. Although, she had not seen it this close before. And with the eldest brother's hollering at all of them to stop. Well, Susan looked like a frightened deer. Perhaps, she ought to go back to the house to get away from this but then, she was the only one keeping the mare calm. She watched as Ben tossed his hat on the ground and cursed up and down the barn's length. He looked at her for a brief moment and then, he was out with his hat in his hand. It wasn't until Noah had returned that she lead the mare to her stable, the animal making a snort of impatience as Susan soothed her but stroking it's mane. Glancing at Noah, she knew he was upset. Do you want me to get a cold cloth? She asked him. --- Kate looked up as the eldest of the brothers returned. Hello... He looked upset about something as the Doctor spoke up. Mr. Wilson... After examining Ms. Williams. She had suffered a concussion and I would ask if she could rely on your hospitality a few more days. I don't want her jostled, she will need some bed rest and slowly getting back to her usual self. He smiled as he looked back to Kate. I'm sorry, I have been nothing but a bother. She said as the Doctor laughed. Most women are... Kate frowned at the blatant sexism but said nothing. I will come back in three days time to check on her progress and see how long before she can return to her room at the School house. The Doctor informed Benjamin.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Noah wiped his hand over his mouth, wincing as he aggravated his fresh new wounds. He only barely stopped himself from cursing. He wanted to, but not in front of Susan. He saw the look on her face and immediately regretted letting his temper get the best of him. Our pa was killed in the ravine, he said as he moved to help her with the mare, and that idiot took us down there today. Like it was nothing... like he didn't care if we died. He shook his head at her question, Nah. It's no big deal. He leaned on the horse, Sorry bout that. I didn't mean to scare you. --- Thank you, Doc, Ben said. His head reeled as he tried to process that not only would he have company but female company. The school teacher was staying here? With her high falutin' words and female-ness. Between his anger and frustration with his brothers, and this news, he was having the worst day. Anything we can do for her? He asked, working hard to keep his tone calm. What he really wanted was to hit something. Real hard. Preferably Noah and Jesse... idiots. After taking the doc's instructions, he walked the man to the door. They've got your mare in the barn, she'll be ready to leave. Unless you need something else? Far out in the field, beyond the barn, he spotted Jesse and Luke walking side by side. Good. Hopefully Jesse was walking off his idiocy. He'd have to deal with the kid later, all of them really, but just not right now. He had enough to deal with with the teacher.
