I DO NOT OWN HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS OR THE DIALOGUE.

Logan County. West Virginia. Later that day.

Johnse's POV

As Johnse Hatfield returned to the Hatfield home after putting in a full day at his still, he was eager to see Roseanna and maybe make love once again. He saddled his horse and saw Levicy coming back from the chicken coop with a basket of eggs.

"Hey, Mama." Johnse said as he came up to her. "Where's Roseanna?"

"Gone to her family." Levicy replied. That caught Johnse by surprise. The McCoys had thrown her out. Why in the Hell would she go back?

"And when's she coming back?" He inquired.

"I don't know that she will." Mrs. Hatfield stated. "It might be best for all concerned if she don't." Johnse was struck as Levicy went back to the house. His mother had chased his bride away. He knew she had, she had done or said something to make Roseanna leave.

"Shit!" Johnse swore as he kicked the dust. How was he going to convince Roseanna to marry him when he couldn't get his own mother to accept her?

Pike County, Kentucky

Roseanna's POV

After the announcement that Roseanna was expecting, Sally had sent for Perry Cline to fetch her daughter. Perry had come in a wagon and had agreed to take Roseanna out of the McCoy home before Randall found out. As they rode away from the McCoy property, Perry made another desperate attempt to work his niece over.

"I got 700 acres of corn 12 percent of the Tug Fork sawmill and nearly 10,000 in financial instruments." Perry explained. He listed off all of his achievements in an attempt to impress Roseanna, but she was not. "Only I lack a helpmate, a loving wife to share my good fortune."

"I'm sure that any number of woman would be happy ta entertain your suit." Roseanna offered in a depressed manner, she was hardly listening due to her being chased away by both the Hatfields and the McCoys.

"Any number I don't care for." Perry stated. "If it weren't about the physical relations..."

"I can't marry you, Perry." Roseanna cut him off. She was determined to end his pursuit of her right then and there. "I'm having a baby...Johnse Hatfield's child." Perry was crestfallen at this news. He wasn't thrilled at the idea of raising a Hatfield bastard, but if that's what it took to make Roseanna his wife, he would bear that cross.

"That's unfortunate." Cline admitted. "But if we were to marry quickly, no one would catch on to the sad truth the child ain't mine. Otherwise, your condition will be all the gossip with the Hatfield's laughing about it..."

"I'm in love with Johnse Hatfield." Roseanna interjected, the look on her face telling the slimy lawyer that the conversation was over. They rode in silence for the rest of the trip.

Jed's POV

Jed was finishing making a crib for his baby as a very pregnant Alifair came up behind him and kissed him deeply.

"The baby is just gonna love this Jed." She said as he returned her kiss.

"Here's hoping." He chuckled. They continued to make out as the sounds of horses was heard outside their home. They instantly feared that Billie Jo had returned for more blood. Jed immediately grabbed his rifle.

"Jed!" Alifair exclaimed.

"Alifair, you stay inside!" He shot back as he moved towards the door. As he gingerly opened it, he saw that his sister in law Roseanna McCoy was on his front porch.

"Jed?" Roseanna asked softly, questioning the loaded gun in his hands.

"Sorry about that Roseanna, didn't know if you was Billie Jo or not." He explained as he lowered his weapon. "What are ya doing here?"

"Perry Cline brought me." She said as she began to weep. "I'm expecting Johnse's baby and no one wants me." Jed sighed as he pulled Roseanna in for a hug.

"It's ok, ya can stay with us." He promised. "Johnse will come fer ya. I'm sure o' it." As he took Roseanna inside, he prayed hat Johnse would be able to grow a pair and do right by Roseanna.

NEXT TIME, JOHNSE GETS THE NEWS...AND GETS KIDNAPPED. REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
