Rosemary and Lee's wedding just ended. Rosemary was now Rosemary Coulter. Elizabeth was excited for her friend, she was so excited that when Abigail came up behind her and touched her shoulder she jumped.

"Elizabeth, Are you okay?" Abigail asked concerned.

"Oh, yes. you just frightened me. Did you need something?"

"Yeah, Frank just asked me out on a date. So I was wondering could you take Cody home and stay with him till I get back?"

"Of course I will watch Cody. How about though I go to your house and he can pack a bag and stay the night with me. I have the extra room."

"Really! that would be great. Thank you so much Elizabeth."

"Hey what else are friends for then to help in a time of need."

They had just gotten inside Elizabeth's house when Cat Montgomery knocked on the door.

"Hello," Elizabeth said as she opened the door.

"Hey, Elizabeth. I was wondering Gabe is horribly sick and I have to take him to see the doctor in Hamilton. Could you watch Emily and Miles?"

"Of course, Cat. Bring them over with a bag and they can stay until Gabe is better. Do you know what is wrong with him?"

"No, Nurse Carter came over and she said it was just the flu. She gave him some medicine and he has been taking it for a week but he's getting worse. I am becoming extremely worried. She came back but said she has no idea what it is and that I should go see the best doctor I could find." Cat started crying.

"Oh don't cry I will telegram my father and you can stay at our house."

"I wouldn't want to impose."

"It will be no imposition. You just take care of your son."

"Thank you Elizabeth. I will bring Emily and Miles over soon."

Elizabeth was thinking through how she could divide up her house when suddenly she heard another knock on the door.

Oh, what now. Elizabeth was thinking.

"Hello, Hattie."

"Hi, Miss Thatcher."

"Can I do something for you Hattie?"

"Oh, yeah I really liked the lesson you taught yesterday about the planets and I was wondering if you had any books about astronomy that I could borrow?"

"Of course, Hattie. I am always thrilled when my students enjoy the lessons I teach."

Just then Emily walked past the front door and saw Hattie.

"Hi, Hattie!" Emily exclaimed happily.

"Hey, Emily!" Hattie said in the same happy voice, "What are you doing at Miss Thatcher's house?"

"Oh, my brother is sick, so mama had to take him to Hamilton to see the doctors."

Emily's voice became sadder as she talked. Elizabeth hated when people were sad so she came up with a plan.

"Emily," Elizabeth said, "how would you like it if we could see if Hattie could come stay over like you are here?"

"Really!"

"Absolutely," Elizabeth continues, "Hattie how would you like it?"

"I would love it, but I would have to ask my mother."

"Of course we would. I was planning on going to the mercantile to get some stuff anyway. You could come with us and on the way we could ask your mother."

"Okay."

They all walked down to the mercantile. Cody, Miles, Hattie, Emily and Elizabeth. Hattie's mother said yes when they came to ask about Hattie staying with Elizabeth and when they went to the mercantile they got a whole lot of awesome stuff for their party. They then went back to Elizabeth's house.

Hope you all enjoyed my first chapter. I don't know how often I will write but I will try to be consistent. I would also appreciate any feedback you would like to give me. Thank You. I also want to recommend a few When Calls the Heart stories. If you would like a story set in the 1900 I would recommend the Butterflies stories by Kksaunt1. If you want a modern day story i would recommend The Plan by Lisahoops10 or New Beginnings by bbflabradors.
