Chapter Ten

To say Cody was not in the best of moods would have been an understatement. He’d had a late night, been forced to cook his own dinner - dinner for everyone, in fact, - after a long, tiring day when all he’d wanted to do was come home to a hearty meal, a hot shower and maybe a bit of TLC. Instead, he’d been forced to deal with Ellie’s impertinent behavior - he still hadn’t got to the bottom of that one, but he would - and hand out her marching orders.

He’d hoped everything would settle overnight. He’d even suggested they all sleep in this morning, since he, Syrus and Ezra were going to make a late start. Clearly he’d been taken at his word, because there was no sign of the four girls and there was no sign of breakfast either.

Filling the coffee pot, he leaned against the counter and turned to his brothers.

“Well, it looks like we’re fending for ourselves again this morning.”

There was a perfunctory knock at the back door, while he was talking, before Tono strode in.

“That’ll be because you sent Ellie packing,” he said, without so much as a ‘good morning’.

Syrus frowned but gave Tono a two-finger salute as he walked through to the utility.

Cody raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t like the vet to be so brazen, but he was clearly steamed about something too if the look on his face was anything to go by.

Ezra, always the chirpy one, poured coffee and brought everyone a mug.

Sitting at the kitchen table, he grinned at the older man. “Thanks for the fish, Tono. Really saved our bacon last night, since Ellie didn’t bother doing the cooking.”

Tono just looked at Ezra with an uncharacteristically stony expression.

“Don’t rightly know why you’re thanking me. Ellie caught those fish, right here in the creek. She came in and got them all cleaned and prepared before coming out to help me with Blaze’s foal, since your mare got herself in a fair amount of trouble during the labor.”

Ezra jerked his head towards Tono just as quickly as he did and Syrus walked back in at the same time. The three of them talked over each other for a second or two.

“What do…”

“Ellie…”

“She gutted…”

Tono shook his head and held up his hand. “You’ve got a fine young colt, thanks to Ellie, I might add.”

“Blaze has had the foal?” Surprise there from Ezra.

“I see no one bothered to tell you then, and I know for a fact that that Cora girl knew what was happening, since she stood right there getting her panties in a wad while Ellie telephoned me to come out.”

“What kind of trouble?” This from Syrus.

Cody squeezed his eyes shut and pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. He was missing something.

Lifting his head, he looked Tono square in the eye and motioned to his brothers to stop with the questions.

Then he took a sip of his coffee to help him gather his thoughts.

“Okay, one thing at a time, and back to the fish.
