Walsh on a farm

10 Are you sleeping brother Carl

Sophia stands up looking at Hershel she blushes looking embarrassed. "It's very nice meeting you I'm Sophia." She rubs the back of he head "umm Sir may I please use your powder room? I don't want to impose though."
Hershel smiles "so polite of course it's the second door on the right." Sophia nods "thank you sir." She smiles walking to the hallway. As soon as Hershel and the others can't she drops her smile immediately.
I chose to pay attention to the plate when I hear whining out side the window my heart clenches at Lady sound I want to be with her but Hershel had forbid and animal from entering his house. Claiming houses are only for people. He thought I couldn't hear him when he stated that Lady was untrained and would makes messes in his house. She has never torn anything up and is house trained he had no proof she would do anything bad but that didn't matter to him.

I wait a few minutes waiting for the door to shut for my signal. But it doesn't work like that before I can get up Hershel says "it was nice having you for dinner." It's obvious he wants us out. Uncle Rick gets up picking going to pick up plates but Maggie stops him. I hear her say "don't worry I'll get it y'all are guest." He lets her.

Patricia, Rachel, and Beth help her gathering the dishes. The others are leaving I can't leave before Sophia's signal.  Feeling a hand on my shoulder I look to see Dad he rubs his head "come on son."

I need to think fast "I was going to go to the restroom after Sophia." Dad shakes his head "there's a out house you can use don't want to hold Hershel up." Letting Dad lead me out of the house holding a hand on my shoulder.

Walking out the door Lady runs up to me. She licks my hand I go to pet her, she rubs against my hand then runs around the side of the house. I look up at Dad
Dad shakes his head "go get that goofy girl then get back to camp. Don't do anything I wouldn't." He pats my back.

Nodding "I won't I will be careful." I run to the side of the house. Turning the corner I see Lady front paws on the window wagging her tail at what she sees.

Approaching the window my eyes blink at Daryl. Daryl seems to be asleep I jump when Sophia opens the door. She motions for me to come in getting my foot on the windowsill. Lady licks my legs hanging out the window. I nearly lose my balance giggling looking down at her I don't notice Sophia approaching until I feel her hand on my back of my shoulder.

Sophia gives me a look telling me to in nice terms 'be quiet' moving the foot from the windowsill to the soft thick carpet. "The fuck you doing?" It's not a shouting voice it is tired and grumpy. Daryl stares at us like we crazy Sophia turns to him "we could not more obviously be crawling though the window." Daryl grunts "fucking brats." He sighs sitting up "I obviously mean why are you crawling though the window."

I answer him "we need to see Carl." Daryl lays back down "fine then do whatever you want I'm not dealing with you brats anymore." He tuns over in the bed I can barely make out "don't get hurt" nodding more to myself than anything.

Sophia tilts her head towards the door.Following we silently leave the room. Surprisingly the next door is ajar. Through the door I can see uncle Rick sitting at Carl's bedside. We will have to wait until he leaves to not get caught but then dad and Carol will realize we are gone if they haven't already. "Come on in." Sophia and I jump at uncle Rick voice he continues "I know your there Jacob,Sophia you're not in trouble. You can come in to see him." Uncle Rick voice is calm and kind. 

He tilts his head up letting us see his crystal blue eyes. The pain and worry shines through I walk into the room. As the door opens it creaks letting out a sound I wish wasn't so loud.

"Uncle Rick I-" he hold a hand up stoping me "your not in trouble Jacob I suspected you would do something like this."  I blink serval times in surprise "how did you know." Uncle Rick chuckles "you are your father's son." His lip corner turns up "did Shane ever tell you the story about when I got chickenpox?" Shaking my head uncle Rick looks at Carl then to me "That doesn't surprise me. I was sick as a dog my mother didn't want anyone coming over didn't want to spread it. That didn't work for Shane he crawled up to the third story window using some vines. Swear it made me get better faster had a blast playing board games."  My uncle smiles at the memory then continues "He got sick even worse than I did we got in so much trouble." He winks at me smiling "but that didn't stop me from crawling through his window."
