Live, Laugh, and Love

Where We Come From

POV Austin
I walked into J's room.
A: What's going on man?
J: I have never seen anything like that before.
A: What do you mean?
J: Mom and Aunt Fran can almost walk up to the animal before they shoot it.
I laughed a little.
A: Do you remember your mom talking about your Great Grandfather?
J: A little.
A: He was part Native American.  That is how they hunt and he taught your mom and Aunt Fran.   They took you today to teach you the ways.
J: I was a butt. I was worried about out hunting them and I was a butt to them.

J came down to help Charlotte finish cleaning the squirrels. 
I could hear her and Fran telling J stories.  They laughed and cried.  They talked about how their grandfather could kill a bee before it could sting him.  They talked about how he could track a deer for miles.  It was a good time.  We cooked breakfast and cleaned up before Lilly woke up.

She was so happy and prideful.  Talking about her family. 

I came back down and Marshal was at the table eating with them.  I couldn't help but laugh when Fran told J they made a movie about the other side of your family.  Marshal spit coffee across the table.

M: I'm not leaving until I get answers.
C: Then you will be sitting here by yourself. 
Everyone laughed.
M: What did I marry into?
C: Not that side.   They even have dinner theater about it.
We all laughed.
M: This isn't right.

Marshal and I went to the office to go over our tour schedule. 

POV Charlotte
C: Have you ever heard of the Hatfield and McCoy feud?
J:  Yes I saw some stuff on TV.
C: That's not the truth, but you are a descendent of Wall Hatfield.
J: Can I tell Uncle Em?
C: Go for it.
J leaves the room.

POV Austin
J comes running into the room.
J: I am a descendent of Wall Hatfield and then he leaves.
M: What was that?
A: That's the movie/shows Fran was talking about.
Marshal gets a strange look on his face, and goes running into the other room.
I follow.  What is he doing?
M: You are related to the Hatfields.
C: Yes I am.
M: That's some funny shit.
He comes back into the office.

We start working again and my phone buzzes. What does Pat want?
P: So, I ordered Charlotte's Anniversary gift.
A: Yes.
P: They are booked and I can't find anything else.
A: Use my stage name.

A little while later my phone buzzed again PAT.
P: You are booked.  I have set everything up with the nanny.
A: Thank you.

M: What are you planning and am I going to have to buy on for Fran?
A: It's a trip for our anniversary.
M: I might be ok then.
I shake my head, it wouldn't kill you, you know.
