１８８３ : ELSA ON HER MOTHER MARGARET

I always thought of mothers like nervous chickens, too worried about their clutch to ever hunt for a worm. In my mind, my mother was a BANKER, hoarding my freedom like money. I never once thought of her as a woman with DESIRES and DREAMS and PASSION, though passion is the thing that made me. I lie awake at night and my dreams for this life BURN INSIDE ME as if I'd walked to the campfire and tried to eat it. I watched my mother and I felt FOOLISH for thinking the notion of eating fire was mine alone. IT WAS HERS FIRST. Then she gave it to me. I watched her ride and I didn't see my mother. I saw a woman. And the woman was MAGNIFICENT.

It took 10 episodes, but they finally let Faith Hill sing. It was going to be a damn travesty if they didn't.

“Mommy, why are we packing things up?” Faith asked while I clipped her into her car seat in the backseat of the truck.

Buckling her last seat belt strap I shut the passenger door getting in the driver’s seat pulling out and driving underneath the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch sign. “We’re going to live at your other grandparents ranch.”

“But why?” She asked me.

I paused before answering her question. “Mommy just needs a change of family environment for a little while.” Going down my family’s driveway I parked the truck in front of the house sitting there thinking back on the argument I had with her father a few nights ago.

I cared about him, I really do. But unless he was going to act like he was married to me and not married to Monica then I can’t be with him right now. Faith thankfully didn’t need to know the whole truth of what was happening between me and her father.

Flinging open my driver door I went around to unbuckle my daughter’s seated hearing someone riding up on their horse towards us. “What are you two doing here? It’s been a long time since you've come over to visit.” My sister Alana dismounted her horse bear hugging me.

“We're actually not visiting this time. I'm hoping that you haven’t turned my room into a den.” I chuckled back at my sister with a smile.

She broke the hug squeezing my shoulder and tipping her hat up just a tad. “Hey, that was daddy who wanted that. But don’t worry I didn't let him touch nothing.” She had her hair tied up in separate pigtails wearing a dark gray cowgirl hat.

I playfully rolled my eyes at her, unbuckling my daughter from inside the car. “But who threw me into the lake when we were looking for fireflies hmm.”

“Aunt Lana!” Faith cried running past my leg once I helped her out of the car.

She scooped up her niece with joy. “Hi there, you little stinker. What would you say to a ride on my horse?”

“Can I Mommy?”

Grabbing my old duffel bag I waved them on heading to the front porch. “Go on. Just be careful with her - momma, daddy, I'm home!” I hollered through the old cabin house sitting my bag by the front door shutting it behind me.

“Alissa, oh there's my girl!’ My mother Margaret came running into the room embracing me with a warm hug.

We remained hugging for a good few minutes until we heard a set of boots crossing the wooden floor and I instantly knew who it was before he said my name. “This is a surprise, Lissa. Are you just visiting like normal?” My father Griffin had a baseball cap on his head when he hugged me saying hello.

“I was hoping you and momma wouldn’t mind if Faith and I stay here for a while. Kayce and I sort of had a disagreement over his relationship with Monica Long.”

My father grumbled, breaking the hug between us. “I tried to warn you about that boy from the day he became a teenager.”

“Dad, I thought you got past your feelings for him after your granddaughter was born.”

He shakes his head no in discomfort. “It got a little better when she was born, yes. But I have secretly been counting down the days until you two finally broke things off.”

“Dad-“

My momma scolded her husband, nudging him on the arm. “Griffin, why would you say such a thing to her? Her and Kayce have been best friends for far too long for that to happen.”

“If things are going so well, Margaret. Then why isn’t she wearing her wedding ring hmm?” He pointed his index finger down to my bare left hand that I drew behind my back lowering my gaze to my boots.

“Oh Alissa I’m sorry.” My mother touched my arm gently.

My father glanced out the window figuring he should get started on getting the ranch set up for the evening since dinner would be done sometime soon. “I’m happy you’re back home, sweet girl. But I just thought I should tell you that I was right all along. I’ll be back in for dinner.” He stepped outside walking quickly down the stairs.

Tucking hair behind my ear I cleared my throat walking in the direction of my old bedroom right across my sister's bedroom. “I’ll start unpacking my stuff and then help with dinner, momma.”

“ALissa, don’t read too much into what your father said just then. You know he just never thinks anyone can be good enough for either of his daughters.”

Tossing my bag on my bed I unzipped it pulling out the clothes I had shoved inside and out onto the mattress. “It’s okay, momma. He’s allowed to have his opinion about him. I know the Dutton family ain’t perfect. I just didn’t think he still felt so strongly about this.”

“ALissa, hey just listen to me.” She managed to snag my wrist making me look into her eyes and stop what I was trying to do at that moment. “skinny dipping I don’t want you to think that you and Kayce can’t get through this little fight.”

I cut her off slightly, needing to understand I did it for my daughter and not for myself. “I did it for Faith because he wasn’t being there for her like she needs right now.”

“And I know that sweetheart. I just don’t want you to forget the reason you said yes when he asked for your hand and why you fell in love with him in the first place.” She finished her thoughts tucking some loose hair away from my eyes, exiting the room to finish the dinner she had started making.

Hanging up my cowgirl hat on the hook near the door I sighed heavily going to unpacking. “Don’t worry, momma. I can’t ever forget young Kayce if I tried.” I halted in my tracks eyeing a picture hanging in the round mirror that stood in the corner of the room.

The picture was very small but it was of me and Kayce chowing down on the last batch his mother had made days before she had died on her birthday by a horse. I would recall that evening for the rest of my life, because we made a pact to be friends forever.

My father had woken me and my sister up hearing a heavy presence of howling from some wolves near one of the Dutton’s pastures. Riding up on my horse he dismounted drawing out a flashlight gesturing for us to slowly come up behind him. “You two come here. Nice and slow, we don't want to spook them.”

“What do you think they’re after, daddy?” Alana asked, standing by my side.

Shifting my gaze throughout the darkness seeing other flashlights coming towards us before I heard John Dutton’s voice coming out. “Griffin, I need your help over here. It’s my wife Evelyn.”

“Sure no problem. Girls, be careful climbing over the fences.” Watching carefully my father dismounted his horse and climbed over our fence line to help our neighbor. My sister and I followed the same action that he did but I saw another familiar face come into contact with my flashlight.

I stalked forward whispering under my breath not afraid that of the wolves since the other cowboys had already scared them off. “Kayce?”

“Alissa.” He called my name in a shaky breath just sitting on the ground near where his mother’s body was laying before they had put her on one of the horse saddles.

Dropping down on my knees I could see he was traumatized over what he must have witnessed. “How are you doing, Kace?”

“I’m scared, Lissa Rae. I - I saw her die before the wolves came.” He sniffed through tears where I closed the distance between us, wrapping my arms around my best friend, sensing that he needs me right now in this moment.

He sobbed into my chest gripping onto my jacket. “She’s gone! I don’t know what to do.”

“The only thing that matters is that you have me, Kayce. I’m gonna be your best friend forever.” I whispered to him, sorry that he had lost his mother this way even though I didn’t know her all too well.

Kayce nodded, squeezing onto me for comfort. “Thank you - I’m not going anywhere either.” After a few minutes we followed the Dutton boys back to their main house doing whatever we could to help them out through the difficult time.

Faith had finally been put to sleep by the time I plopped down onto the long living room couch in front of the fireplace. Brushing my hair from my face I held the small picture in my fingers wishing we could go back to what we were. “Awe I forgot about that picture. Even then he was sneaking up behind you with that height of his.” My sister leaned over the couch with her arms crossed.

“Yeah, he was a stinker with that. How did moving the cattle go tonight? I’ll be sure to help you tomorrow since I’m living here now.” I glanced over my shoulder at her.

She rounded the couch sitting down beside me. “It went fairly well. How are you doing with the whole Dutton situation?”

“I don’t wanna talk about it. Give me a few days and I’ll talk about what is going on between us.”

My sister Alana shifts to face me with a smirk playing on her lips when she questions me. “Okay I understand that. So if you don’t want to talk about it, what would you say about going to Bozeman for a couple hours.”

“You’re just wanting to get me a date, aren’t you?” I teased her with a raised brow.

She put her hands together begging me. “Come on please. You - sorry we deserve a night of fun and if we happen to land you a date in the process that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.”

“Hmm, fine.” I agreed where she flings her arms around me giggling like a child and I hugged her back before we went to get ready to head to the bar, unknown that she was right I would find someone to distract me from my husband.

Dutton Family Tree by Generation

In the process of updating these pages I noticed things didn't add up.

If Spencer Dutton and Alexandra "Countess of Sussex" are the grandparents of John Dutton III then that would make him part of the 4th generation of Dutton's, not the 5th, unless there is a hidden generation.

For John Dutton III to still be in the 5th generation he would have to come from Jack Dutton and Evelyn Strafford or Patience Dutton (who I have theorized is the daughter of Spencer Dutton and Alexandra "Countess of Sussex") they are the 3rd generation, making John Dutton II the 4th generation, thus making John Dutton III apart of the 5th generation.

Patience Dutton could be the mother to John Dutton II, and it would fix the generation gap. We know NOTHING AT ALL of the 4th generation of Dutton's apart from the small Yellowstone flashbacks of John Dutton II during his final moments. He is the only Dutton that has grown old and died of natural causes, not a violent death but one of peace and contentment. The rest of the family has died some sort of traumatic or violent death. Makes me wonder if the 4th generation was very different from the rest.

1st Generation of 1883 James Dillard Dutton (Dutton Patriarch), Margaret Dutton (Dutton Matriarch), Claire Dutton (Sister to James Dutton)

1st Generation of 1923 Jacob Dutton (Brother to James Dutton), Cara Dutton (Wife of Jacob Dutton)

2nd Generation of 1883 Elsa Dutton (Daughter to James Dutton), Sam "Commanche Warrior" (Commanche Warrior Husband to Elsa Dutton), Mary Abel (Daughter to Claire Dutton), John Dutton Sr. (Son to James Dutton)

2nd Generation of 1923 John Dutton Sr. (Son to James Dutton), Emma Dutton (Wife to John Dutton Sr.), Spencer Dutton (Son to James Dutton), Alexandra Dutton (Wife to Spencer Dutton and English Royalty - Countess of Sussex)

3rd Generation of 1923 Unnamed miscarried child (Child to Jack Dutton and Evelyn Strafford), Patience Dutton (Possibly Daughter to Spencer Dutton and Alexandra and Mother to John Dutton II)

Unknown Generation Chance Dutton (Unknown relative, Unknown time period, Unknown date of birth or date of death)

4th Generation John Dutton II (Father to John Dutton III)

5th Generation of Yellowstone John Dutton III (Son to John Dutton II), Evelyn Dutton (Wife to John Dutton III), Peter Dutton (Brother to John Dutton III), Garrett Randall (Jamie Michael Randall Dutton's biological Father), Phyllis Randall (Jamie Michael Randall Dutton's biological Mother)

6th Generation of Yellowstone Lee Dutton (Son to John Dutton III), Jamie Michael Randall Dutton (Adoptive Son to John Dutton III and Evelyn Dutton; Biological Son to Garrett Randall and Phyllis Randall), Christina (Mother of shared son Jamie Dutton Jr.), Beth Dutton (Daughter to John Dutton III), Rip Wheeler (Husband to Beth Dutton), Kayce Dutton (Son to John Dutton III), Monica Long Dutton (Wife to Kayce Dutton)

7th Generation of Yellowstone Jamie Dutton Jr. (Unconfirmed Son to Jamie Michael Randall Dutton), Carter (Adoptive Son to Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler), Tate Dutton (Son to Kayce Dutton and Monica Long Dutton), John Dutton IV (Son to Kayce Dutton and Monica Long Dutton)

Agatha All Along Thoughts & Reactions

At this rate, unless someone wants me to break the series down, I will not be doing any thoughts and reactions or breakdowns. I wanted too, I want too, but it just isn't in the cards at this point and time.
