Chapter 12: Hoss talks to his father

After the chores are done Hoss sits down,and he talks to his father Ben for a few minutes. Hoss is wondering what's going on at the Ponderosa,so he talks to his father for a few minutes.

Hoss exclaims to Ben,",Pa can I talk to you for a few minutes?"

Ben responds back to Hoss,",Sure what's up? Come on in here,and close the door behind you."

"Ok,Pa."

Hoss goes into his father's office and he closes the door behind him. He sits down in a chair,and Ben sits down in his chair.

Ben exclaims to Hoss,"What's on your mind son?"

Hoss responds back to Ben,"I was just upstairs cleaning,and I noticed the bedroom upstairs at the top of the stairs is off limits it had a sign on the door saying Wet paint what's up with that?"

"I'm preparing the bedroom for a new arrival shes going to be coming soon."

"What's her name,and who is she?"

"Her name is Angel,and shes an orphan she's only four years old."

"Are you thinking about taking in another orphan Pa?"

"If the county will let me have her yes I am."

"Where is she at now Pa?"

"She's currently in the hospital she was involved in a house fire."

"How long will it be before she's here Pa?"

"A week I've already mentioned this to Little Joe,Jamie,and Tabatha."

"I now know to Pa."

"But Adam doesn't,so let's try to keep it that way."

"Ok,Pa."

"We all know how Adam can be."

"Yes,that we do,and I won't say anything to him."

"I know you won't,and I've got some work to do."

"Ok,Pa I'll let you do your work."

"Ok."

Hoss gets up from his chair,and he opens up the door. He leaves his Pa's office. He walks upstairs to his bedroom,and he lays down for a nap. Little Joe,Jamie,and Tabatha lay down for a nap as well. Adam has no idea what is going on at the Ponderosa. He lays down,and he takes a nap. Everyone takes a nap for an hour,and a half that afternoon at the Ponderosa.
