Chapter 11

After a wonderful night of intimacy and then a good relaxing sleep in each others arms, they woke up to Adam running his hand down Rebecca's face, arm and then a light kiss to her lips.

"Mmm Adam. What would you like?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe a little loven before we get up."

"You have a wonderful way of asking me."

"Do I now? Well, what do you say?"

"Adam, you know I would never turn you down for that."

So for the next hour love was being made in the new bed and Adam and Rebecca were so much in love.

"Oh Rebecca, I love you so much. Sweetheart, we have to talk about something that has to be done soon."

"What is it Adam?'

"The house in Carson City. We have to decide what to do with it."

"Adam, I know. But like I said, the house is yours. I can't own any thing in that Jewish religion."

"Rebecca, you left the Jewish ways and customs when you married me. It's your home sweetheart. And it's yours to do as you see fit."

"What should I do Adam? Should I sell it?"

"I think you should. I don't think you need the trouble that go's with renting it out."

"Well then, that's what I will do. Can you handle that for me? I want to get my piano and a few things from there."

"Do you think you would like to do that today?"

"Might as well I guess. It won't get any easier the longer I wait."

"Alright, after breakfast we can head to Carson and get that started."

"Alright. Well we better get up and I will get some breakfast ready for us."

"Ok sweetheart.'

In Carson City Adam and Rebecca had found a note on the door at the house. Someone was asking about it and if it would be for sale or rent. The note said to contact the general store.

"Hello, I found this note on the door of the Kaufman house. It says to come here."

"Oh yes hello. The bearer of the note is my Uncle. He wants to move here and is looking for a house."

"Oh well, my wife and I have decided to sell it as quickly as we can. We're just there now getting the things she wants to keep from there. So, I guess it comes with most of the furniture in it."

"Alright, I'll let my Uncle know."

"OK, well if he's interested, have him get a hold of me at the Ponderosa or at the Kaufman house."

"Will do."

By the time Adam and Rebecca were finished with the house and loading the things she wanted into the wagon, the perspective buyers were at the house.

"Hello, I'm the one who asked about this house."

"Yes, are you looking to buy it?"

"Yes I am."

"Alright, come in and look at it. Every thing that is left here go's with it."

~0~

The house was sold and Rebecca was taking the money and putting it into their share of the Ponderosa. With that taken care of Adam took Rebecca for dinner and then headed home.

Adam put the horses up and gave them feed and fresh water. Then he took care of Buttercup for Rebecca as she wasn't feeling that well this evening. He had thought maybe he would take her to see Paul if she didn't feel better by morning. With all the chores done and the barn closed up for the night Adam headed into the house.

"Rebecca? Sweetheart where are you?"

"I'm here Adam. Making some tea."

"How are you feeling?"

"Adam, I'm fine. I'm just a little over tired most likely."

"Well, let me finish this, and you sit down here."

"Thank you Adam."

"Here you go. Ok now, are you up to having Hoss and Joe and their ladies over for dinner tomorrow?"

"Oh Adam, I think that would be lovely. Of course I'm up to it."

"Alright, I'll let them know in the morning."

"So what do you think I should serve?"

"Rebecca honey, any thing you decide to make will be just fine."

"Oh well then, I'll just surprise everyone then."

"Aw, you do that sweetheart."

~0~

The next morning Rebecca was feeling fine and Adam went out to work on the cattle branding with his brothers where he would ask them to bring their ladies and come for dinner tonight. Ben had gone out of town foe a meeting for a couple of days so this would also give Hop Sing some time off.

"Hello brothers. Is this all you have done?"

"What do you mean, is this all we have done? While you were back there with that beautiful wife of yours doing only who knows what, we have been wrestling these little critters and getting the job done."

"OH well then, I guess that makes my job a lot easier."

"Oh no big brother, there is still enough for you to do."

"Ya, alright let's get to it. Oh, by the way, how would you two like to bring your ladies over for dinner tonight? Rebecca is making something that I don't even know what it is."

"Oh ya, thanks Adam. Be glad ta."

"Ya, me to Adam. Thank you."

"Are you two serious about your ladies?"

"I know I am."

"Yep, me to."

"Well, that's good to hear."

That evening Hoss and Joe arrived at Adam and Rebeccas with Margie and Angie. Rebecca had cooked a wonderful meal and everyone sat down to eat.

"Miss Rebecca this looks real good."

"Thank you Hoss."

"So Margie, how is it you got hooked up with this brother of mine?"

"I met Hoss at the spring social."

"As did I meet Joe there at the same time."

"Oh well then, you are both welcome to the family."

"Thank you Adam."

"Yes, thank you Adam. Rebecca this is very good."

"Thank you Angie."

"My wife is an excellent cook."

~0~

After supper Rebecca wasn't feeling well again. Hoss and Joe left early and took Margie and Angie home.

"Rebecca, do you want me to take you to see Paul tomorrow?"

"No Adam. It's not that bad."

"Sweetheart, this has been happening to often."

"Adam, I think I would just like to maybe take buttercup out tomorrow and just go riding for awhile."

"Alright, I'll go with you. How about by the lake?"

"That would be wonderful."

"Alright then. Are you about ready to go to bed?"

"Sounds wonderful."
