*UPDATED*


Jessie had never felt so excited in her whole life, for once she was going to go to the place of her dreams, she looked at her father eagerly waiting for a reply.
“Yes dear, unfortunately.” He said sighing. “It’s usually Buzz and who travels through the west to visit us but we there is more people on his side of the West so it would be too much hassle for everyone to travel. That’s why we are going through this time considering there is only four of us.” He looked up at his youngest daughter who had a smile upon her face.
“You mean we could have gone through so many times but we never have?” Jessie asked with a slight tone of annoyance.
“Yes.” He simply replied.
“But why not? From my window the West looks beautiful, why would you not want to travel through such an amazing place?” Jessie knew her father wouldn’t like her asking questions like these but he had never given a proper answer as to why he hated it so much.
“It’s a horrid place filled with drunks, prostitutes, useless sheriffs and is disgustingly dirty.” He said disgustedly.
Jessie remained silent not wanting to annoy her father.
“How far away from Buzz’s are we father?” Bo asked after a few moments silence.
“Well it will take us about two and a half hours to get to the West, and then we will stop there for a refi-“
“We are stopping?” Jessie cut Bart off  almost jumping out of her seat.
Bart and Betty looked at her both in shock and confusemeant. “Yes dear, but only I and your father are getting out. Can’t have two pretty girls seen in a town like that.” Betty said to her.
“A town like what?” Jessie questioned confused.
“A town full of men who would only want you for one thing. If they saw you...”
“Oh.” Jessie said trying not to sound sad about not being able to go out. She didn’t believe all the men were like that but rather than argue she remained silent.
“Anyway as I was saying, we will stop and refill there for about fifteen minutes and then it’s another three hours or so away. Depends if we make good time.”
He smiled at Bo.
“Oh okay. We’ll be travelling a while then.” Bo said with a sigh.

About an hour or so went by and the four sat in silence. All that could be heard was the sound of the horse’s hooves outside the carriage and the noise of the wheels hitting stones on the floor. The carriage was by far from neither amazing nor comfy for that matter. The seats were purple and quite hard which made all four of the families bum’s ache a lot. They had the purple curtains dangling down across the windows as Bart insisted they remain unseen inside the carriage. The floor and roof were both a dull shade of brown and made from wood. The space inside the carriage was very cramped due to Bo and Jessie’s dresses taking up most the space. Although the sunlight could not been seen in the carriage it could defiantly be felt by them all, it seemed each movement made by the carriage the hotter it got.
Jessie was sat with her back against the seat looking up at the roof of the carriage. So many thoughts were going through her mind. What would the west be like? What would the people be like? Surely it’s not as bad as her father made out, it couldn’t be. Could it? Grandma always described the west as such a beautiful place. Jessie was soon distracted from her thoughts by a pain in her stomach. The pain was like a stitch but much more painful. She placed her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes; she instantly knew what the pain was.
“Are you okay Jessie?”  Bo asked sweetly
placing her right hand on Jessie’s shoulder.
“I’m fine, it’s just my stomach is hurting, that’s all.” She sighed and the pain seemed to grow even more causing her to lean forward a bit.
“Good job I packed some towels then wasn’t it?” Betty said looking at Jessie who was still holding her stomach.
“Great! I’m stuck in a carriage with three hormonal women, one more hormonal than the rest!” Bart huffed crossing his arms receiving a death glare from his wife.
Betty did hate it when he moaned about women’s hormonal states and how he complained about her and her daughters when they entered these states. He didn’t understand the pain women go through and never would understand. But Betty never said anything to him due to the fear of angering her husband, like Jessie and everyone else she knew how short tempered he was.

“Jessie, why do you always insist on wearing that necklace?” Bart asked her after about fifteen minutes of silence.
“Because Grandma gave it to me and it’s my favourite piece of jewellery.” Jessie replied taking the pendant of the necklace in her right hand to admire it. Jessie always wore the necklace, it meant everything to her. Her Grandmother had given it to her on her eighth birthday and since that day she had never taken it off. The necklace had a gold chain with an oval shaped pendant in the same colour dangling at the bottom. Inscribed on the back were the words ‘Follow Your Heart.’ And on the inside was a painted image of Jessie and her grandmother. For ten years straight Jessie had worn the necklace and if anyone dared try and take it off her she would have a very bad temper tantrum.
“Surly you would like a necklace much like Bo’s wouldn’t you?” He questioned looking at Bo’s ruby encrusted necklace that wrapped around her neck.
“Nope, I prefer things of sentimental value thank you.” Jessie said crossing her arms and looking away from her father.
“You always were grandma’s favourite Jessie.” Bo said scowling at her sister, Jessie simply ignored her.
The journey continued in silence. Jessie felt like it would take forever for them to reach the West, the pain of her stomach made the journey seem to last a heck of a lot longer than it actually should.

The carriage came to a hault and Angel neighed causing Jessie to lift her head up in shock. The sound of Hamm jumping off the front of the carriage was heard followed by a knock on the carriage door. Bart opened the curtain next to him and Jessie to reveal Hamm standing looking at him. Hamm had a weak smile upon his face. “We have reached the West sir.”
