Hey guys. I've had a few people ask for a story where Adam has a daughter. So I thought about it and this is what I came up with.

This is just the prologue, hope ya'll enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bonanza, but I do own this plot, and any unknown characters.

Narrator POV

"How much longer do you think mama will be in their?" Grayson Cartwright asked his older brother Daniel, while he sat on a barrel swinging his legs back and forth where they dangled.

Daniel shrugged while watching his little brother. He had sat through his younger brother being born, he was after all two years older, and it was the same long wait it was the first time. And if it was as long it away waiting on his mama to bring Grayson then it would be too long in the five year olds opinion.

The two boys sat in silence till the door opened and their Pa was led outside by their Aunt Beth, who had arrived yesterday with Doc Jared to help with mama. Though Daniel didn't fully understand why, how could you help with a baby when it's not even here yet?

"Beth, what if..." Their pa's voice was full of worry as he trailed off, not sure what else to say.

"Now don't. Go getting yourself tied in a knot. I'm sure everything will be fine, and doc is well experienced after all." She said giving her older brother a smile. "Now just stay out here like doc asked, okay?" She asked smiling ever so slightly. The boy's pa nodded, and their Aunt Beth turned and went back into the house.

"Beth, you and doc take care of them." their pa said right before she closed the door, she nodded with a small smile then disappeared

After a moment if watching as their pa leaned back against the wall blurring his face in his hands, the boys got up and went to their pa, Grayson in the lead.

"Pa, what's wrong?" Daniel asked, confusion written clearly in his eyes. The boys pa just gave a sad small smile and knelled down to his sons level.

"It's nothing to worry about sons." He said putting his arms around the two boys, pulling them close. "Everything will be fine." Their pa said once more trying to reassure himself as much as he was his sons.

The father and sons stayed like that until they heard approaching horses and looked up. On the path that led to their home was three men each on horseback.

One was older, with a stern look but kind eyes, and an even kinder smile when he laid eyes on Adam and his sons.

Another man was a rather big fellow, who wore a jolly smile, and happy eyes. He waved to the three.

And the last man was the youngest and smallest of the three, he has eyes that glittered with mischief, but his face was kind, much like the other two.

"Grandpa! Uncle Joe and Hoss!" the two boys hollered running to the approaching horses. Adam was about to follow when they heard distant cries of a baby, echoing from the house.

Adam didn't think twice, he just took off up the stairs, his mind-set on one thing, seeing his wife and newborn child. And neither of the visitors said a word of disapproval on his actions.

Adam ran up the stairs tripping only slightly, until he came to the door belonging to him and his wife. Entering the room he was greeted b a dread sight though, his wife laid still on the bed, though he could see the light rise and fall of her chest, she looked horrid, almost deathly. It wasn't like how she was after she had Grayson, or Daniel. No she smiled, and cooed at them both after giving birth. Adam had stayed with her the whole time during their births. But this one Doc asked for him to step out, an he knew why. Alice had been having complications, and it had caused Adam to worry, worry so much he was stressing himself out, along with Alice. And now it seemed the complications would prove vital.

The man watched in silence for a moment as Beth put the new baby in Alice's week frail arms and helped her to sit up. And his heart drooped as Alice have him a week smile, and spoke in a deathly silent voice. "It's a girl Adam... our baby girl." She said so happily, that he pushed away his fears and went over to her carefully hugging her before looking at the baby.

It was his baby girl, and right now he had his girls in his arms, and he prayed with all his might that God wouldn't take his Alice. Removing his eyes from his girls he looked at Doc who was watching them with soft eyes before he nodded. "I know. We're not sure how bad the complications were." He said almost reading Adams minds.

Adam didn't answer just closed his eyes. "Lets not worry on that now. besides. We still don't have a name." Alice whispered to her husband, in a soft voice. Adam nodded though he buried his face in her hair for a moment, and looked up in time to see Doc, and Beth leaving.

"Alright love." he replied.

I managed to edit some if it. Using my phone since my computer is still down.

And these are some changes I'm probably doing

1) Adam never goes to Africa.

2) (this one I'm not sure of) Hoss may not die at all. So yeah I'm not sure if ill allow him to die.

Thats it for now. So yeah tell me what you think.
