Chapter One
The Surprise
Colorado Springs, Colorado 1880
(I'm using the timeline from the second movie)
Eight-year-old Katie Sully came bounding down the stairs one bright Saturday morning.
"Good morning, Poppy," she said. "Good morning, Mama!"
"Good morning, Katie," said Sully, smiling at his little daughter."Matthew is coming from Denver today."
"Isn't that wonderful, Katie?" asked Dr. Michaela Quinn, Katie's mother.
"Oh, I can't wait! When is he coming?" asked Katie.
"The train should come in about an hour." answered Michaela, smiling at her daughter's enthusiam.
"If you hurry and eat your breakfast, we'll all head for town." said Sully, drinking the last of his coffee. He pushed back his chair and stood up.
"I'll harness up Blueberry and Amber," he said.
"Pa, can't we ride to town?" Katie begged.
"Sorry, sweetie. How would we get everyone back home?" answered Michaela.
"Who's everyone? I thought only Matthew was coming." asked Katie.
"Matthew says he is bringing some surprise persons." replied Michaela, slyly.
Katie jumped up from her chair and made a mad dash for the door. Michaela followed, laughing.

When they got to town the train hadn't come yet so Michaela went to her clinic and Katie and Sully went to the general store.
"Hello, Mr. Bray." said Katie, happily.
"Hello, Katie. Could I interest you in some lemon drops?" asked Mr. Bray.
"Yes, you can, Loren. We'll take a quarter pound and three chocolate bars, please." answered Sully.
"Right away, Sully." Mr. Bray said, heading for the candy jars."Anything else?"
"Need anything, Kates?" asked Sully."How about a new hair ribbon?"
"No, thank you, Pa," replied Katie.
Just then Mr. Bray finished up scooping the candy and handed it to Katie.
"Can I look around for a few minutes, Pa?" she asked.
"Yes, but hurry," answered Sully, looking at his pocket watch.
As she wondered around the store Katie saw a great many things. Ready made clothes, calico cloth, hair ribbons, lace, soap, and pretty little knickknacks.
"Pa?" Katie asked, fingering a bolt of yellow flowered cloth."Could I get some of this for Lottie?" Lottie was Colleen's and Andrew's daughter.
"Don't see why not. How much you think she needs?" Sully questioned her.
"I don't know. Maybe two yards." Katie said, thoughtfully.
Mr. Bray cut off two yards from the bolt. "That'll be $1.25."
Sully counted out the coins and put them in Mr. Bray's outstretched hand.
Just then the train whistle blew. Katie tugged at her father's sleeve.
"We'd better go get Ma!" Katie cried, excited.
"I believe you're right." replied Sully."We'll go pick her up at the clinic."

In the clinic, Michaela was studying some of her patients' files. Ever since her mother had died two years earlier and left money for a hospital to be built in Colorado Springs, Michaela had used the old clinic only for check-ups and for storing her files and some of her supplies.
She looked up from the files when Katie came running in.
"Ma, Ma, the train is coming in!" she cried.
Michaela smiled for she knew who was coming with Matthew and knew Katie would be even more excited when she found out.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
When the trio arrived at the train station the train was just coming in.
Katie was pratically beside herself with excitement. Who was Matthew bringing with him? Had she met them before?
She didn't have long to wait though because the first passengers were coming off the train which had finally chugged to a stop.
If I get five reviews( good or not) I will post another chapter. Please no flames but criticism is accepted. Kathleen Emerson
