Arthur finished his cigarette and got up from underneath the tree he was sitting under for the better part of his morning and went back inside. He opened the door to John and Jack sitting at the dinner table.

"Well you see Jack your mother is-is an angel now and we won't see her no more, it's a full time job but she'll always be watching our backs." John explained.

"But Why can't she come back and visit?" Jack said.

"Because it's the rules son, i dont like it neither." John said.

Arthur stopped listening and walked up to the two.

"Hey Little Jack. John you ready to get things together?" Arthur said.

"Hey uncle Arthur." Jack said.

"Yeah Arthur but Mary said she wanted to see you, I'll meet you outside." John said.

Arthur walked to the kitchen and found mary preparing a stew.

"Mrs. Morgan?" Arthur said while leaning at the kitchen door way.

Mary turned around with a big smile on her face and said "Hello Mr. Morgan."

"John said you need to speak with me." Arthur said.

"Arthur could you pick up the mail? I have a surprise for you." Mary said.

"Sure thing. John and I are going to get this place up and running to a proper farm." Arthur said.

"Oh Arthur this is all so perfect, I never thought we'd get to do this." She said.

He came up and held her in his arm and said "A once wise man once told me to have a little faith.".

"I do its just you cant erase the past, I don't know it you'll run off on me still." Mary said.

"Mary I'd never, you and the kid are my only priority anymore well other than turning this place into a proper ranch." Arthur.

"Okay Arthur I didnt mean to-." Arthur cut her off.

"Its alright I haven't done the best by you but thats changing. Listen john and i are going to do those errands and little jack pretty much watches himself just make sure he don't get eaten by a wolf. I love you." Arthur said kissing her forehead and letting her go but before he could leave she kissed his cheek.

"I love you Arthur." Mary said.

Arthur charged outside and saw john with the horses so he mounted up and the two headed for blackwater. Arthur wondered if he and john would get taken by pinkertons but come to find out they didnt consider the van der linde gang a danger anymore and packed up shop out of Blackwater, they even removed the wanted posters of the gang. Arthut kinda felt a pit in his stomach thinking that dutch they killed dutch or anyone else but that's another life, he's Arthur the farmer now not Arthur the outlaw. They arrived at the general store and john dismounted.

"I'll go and get what we need." John said.

Arthut sat on his horse waiting then john came around the side with a wagon full of supplies to start a farm.

"Arthur I got everything." John said.

"Damn that must have cost you a small fortune let me pay you some money back." Arthur said.

"Nah it's alright, it did cost me nearly every dime but it's an investment towards the future." John said.

The two headed back to beechers hope in no time and begain to plow the fields, set up the chicken coop, set up the cow and goat pen. Before the two knew it was nearly night time and the two where starved.
