Albert and Sylvia (Part two, My version):

At the Ingalls house everyone was waiting for Doctor Baker to get done seeing how bad Albert had gotten hurt earlier today at the Atkins place in defending his girlfriend's honor.

Charles stepped outside he finally got the crying Sylvia Webb to come out side with by the horses so they can have a little chat.

Charles says, "I have been giving this a lot of thought about you too".

Sylvia quick on the g un she says "I am sorry! its all my fault!" More tears streaming down her face.

Charles pats Sylvia on the shoulder and say "I don't blame you for this!" "I want you to know it, and I don't blame Albert either".

Sylvia says "thank you sir". is Hartwig confirmed dead?" Charles nods yes and says "Yes Doctor Baker confirmed it".

Sylvia nods and says "If Albert needs anything I am going to be there for him, if he needs therapy I want to be there".

Doctor Baker comes outside and says "Sylvia ?"

Sylvia says "yes doctor baker, is Albert okay?"

Doctor Baker says "He will live but is paralyzed at the moment, he can't move his lower half of his body". Sylvia cries some more and she says through tears "Can I go see him?"

Doctor baker nods and says "Sure go ahead".

Sylvia walks into the house says "Hi Pa" to her pa and walks into the room where Albert was laid up in bed.

Sylvia shuts the door and says "Hi Albert". Albert wakes up a little slow as Sylvia comes to his bed side and sits besides him. He sighs and slowly says "I fell". Sylvia laughs a little and says "Yes you did it scared me bad".

Albert says in a more serious tone "I guess ... we have to be grown ups now". Sylvia looks at him confused and replies "What do you mean?" Albert slowly continues. "Didn't Doctor Baker tell you I can't move my legs now, I am useless to you dear, but I won't be able to walk for who knows how long".

Sylvia smiles and says "It doesn't matter to me as long as we're both okay and we have each other, your not being able to walk I can look past it".

Albert smiles and says "Dear how did i get lucky enough to have a girl friend like you?'

Sylvia smiles and says "Someone is looking out for you! silly, and she laughs. She snuggles up close to Albert for a bit. Then she says "You know what?" Albert looks down on her, and says "What?" "I am going to help if you need therapy or anything just let me know, I want to be there for you Albert Ingalls just like you have been there for me when there was no one".

Albert smiles and says a weak "thank you dear I need to rest now tired". Sylvia lays on the other side of Albert as he falls asleep and she says a little prayer before she falls a sleep next to him, and snuggles next to Albert the love of her life.

Charles, Doctor baker, and Mr. Webb walk into the room to check on Albert and Sylvia. who were both asleep. Charles says "Well, those two have a lot of work cut out for em". Doctor baker says gently and softly "IF they have true love they will be strong, and see each other through". Mr. Webb smiles at the thought of some one caring for his daughter as much as he does, and that was the first smile Hector has had all day. Charles catches Hector smiling but doesn't say anything. Charles says "I think we can let these two love birds sleep through the night now, they've had it rough, they need all the rest they can get". The three men nod in agreement and shut the door quietly, thinking of trying to get some rest themselves.
