I DO NOT OWN HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS OR THE DIALOGUE.

Tug River Valley, a week later.

A week after Jed's visit, Randall McCoy saddled his horse and decided to pay his daughter a visit. His son in law's words had been bouncing around his head and something inside him stirred him to go see Roseanna. As he arrived at the Rohnse estate, he saw that it was a 2 room, single story cabin that looked sturdy enough for a small family. Mustering all of his strength and refusing his desire to spit on the ground, he walked up to the door and knocked. To his surprise and distress, Johnse Hatfield himself opened the door. Both men were stunned for a moment before Johnse finally broke the ice.

"Um, Mr. McCoy, wasn't expecting ta see you here." He said.

"I have come ta see Roseanna." He stated, avoiding eye contact with his son in law. Johnse nodded as he stood aside to let Randall in. The McCoy patriarch walked inside and saw Roseanna resting with a hand on her belly.

"Poppy!" She exclaimed in surprise as he stood there, just looking at his daughter with a Hatfield in her belly.

"Roseanna." He said gravely. For a few minutes nothing was said, finally Randall sat down next to Roseanna. He did not look at her or Johnse. Roseanna was hurt by his unwillingness to acknowledge her, but she tried to keep her tears down.

"I'm still yer daughter Roseanna." She said with pain her voice. "I'm standing next ta you...ya see me, poppy? You hear my voice?

"I hear you." Randall replied as he looked away from her, his eyes as stone.

"When I was a little girl, you once told me I was yer favorite, do you remember that?"

"I do."

"I lived on that fer years." Roseanna said as the tears finally broke free. "Just that tiny bit of approval made me believe I could do anything in this world. Cause fer all yer preaching and all yer praying...in our house, you were God!" Randall said nothing as a single solitary tear ran down the man's face.

"I want ta love you Roseanna." Mr. McCoy insisted. "But I do not know how, you have hurt me so."

"I ain't sorry fer loving Johnse, but I am sorry fer causing ya pain." His daughter replied. "I just want you ta love me Poppy!"

"Perhaps I can love ya, in my own way, in my own time." Randall concluded. He needed time to get over his hurt and anger towards his daughter. He kissed Roseanna on the forehead and made to leave. As he saddled his horse, Johnse moved to have words with his father in law.

"Randall!" He shouted as McCoy turned to face him. "Look, I know that you n' my pa got some real bad blood between ya and I know that there ain't nothing I can say or do that's gonna make that right. All i can say is that I love yer daughter with all my heart and that I don't mean no harm ta yer family!" Ol' Randall gave Johnse a small nod as he snapped the reigns of his horse and rode away.

HAS RANDALL TRULY FORGIVEN ROSEANNA? REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
