New story for you all! Please add this story to your alerts, and I will try to add a new chapter every week. Enjoy! When reading, keep in mind that these are just for characters that I've created or created personalities for. Do not take offense or be critical if they are not how you wished, or want to be. It is just from my imagination

10 years after season 11, who knew this is where the Flemming-Bordens would be now?

Lyndy's now eleven, and she isn't the only Flemming-Borden child. Her brother, Timothy Jack (and more commonly known as TJ), is closest to her age, which makes them perfect friends. Six year-old Lily, is just plain cute and easy to like. With Amy continuing to make a living with her "Miracle Girl" business, and her dad Ty, being the most well-known vet around Hudson, the Flemming -Bordens are doing well. Until two people show up at Heartland and change everything.

With Katie growing up in New York, and still living with Lou and Mitch, that only leaves Jack in the main house, as Tim and Casey moved into Big River together years earlier. But Jack and Lisa have decided to try moving to France for good, and only come back at Christmas and summer. So now Jack's gone, and Amy and Ty have decided to live in the main house.

The loft's free, as it seems for now. Then the people least expected show up, and in the worst circumstances.

Georgie married Wyatt as soon as she finished school. He popped the question the night she was celebrating getting her diploma, and of course Georgie accepted. The two of them left Heartland so that Georgie could travel all over the world riding Flame.

This was working out just fine, until Georgie takes a bad fall when trying to gentle a traumatized horse at ta show in California, which leads to months in the hospital and possibly the loss of her career, for good. And what makes matters worse, was that there might have been a little baby in the next while, but no chance of that happening now. So what could Amy and Ty do when the young couple on the verge of collapsing with heartbreak and emotional stress, show up on their doorstep? The loft's free, so only time will tell what will happen...

Also, Lily was named after Ty's mom, her middle name after Amy's old friend Soraya, who (spoiler alert) does appear later in the story for a short period of time. Lyndy is the name of Amy and Ty's daughter in the TV show, so her name is the only one that I've taken from the show for the Flemming-Borden children. Although, the way she acts, her horse's name and other things, are all fictional/I made them up/belong to me. TJ, as it is mentioned, is named after Amy's grandpa and great grandfather, Tim and Jack (Timothy sounded more formal, therefore Tim would be the shortened version. Esme's name has nothing to do with relation to other characters, and is simply a name.

Chapter 1 - Car in the Driveway

"Faster Farland, faster!" Lyndy shouted into the wind. The legs of her horse seemed to go twice as fast, as her gelding strived to take his owner's command. It was mid-spring and Lyndy was enjoying the warmth, as that winter had been a snowy one! And just as cold as it had been when Lyndy was born, around eleven and half years earlier.

Her younger brother, TJ, matched her speed, and they were neck and neck on their race back to Heartland. That morning Lyndy and her brother had gone for a trail ride, and of course, they had to race home. Arlo, TJ's gelding, was young, but feisty, and brought on a good challenge for Farland, who was ten and had some better manners. Normally, Lyndy and TJ couldn't race home, as Lily, their six year-old sister, wasn't allowed to gallop without mom or dad present. But Lily had a friend over, so the older kids could do as they please.

As they neared Heartland, Lyndy slowed down, and yelled for TJ to do the same. There was a car in the driveway, that hadn't been there when the two of them left after breakfast.

"I wonder who it is," Lyndy said, sliding to the ground and wrapping Farland's reins around the poll outside the barn.

"Maybe it's Esme, although the truck looks unfamiliar." TJ guessed. Esme was Caleb and Cass's only child, a shy girl, but someone who fit TJ's personality perfectly. The two of them were best friends, and Ezzy, as she preferred to be called, came over often.

Lyndy didn't respond, but pushed through the screen door into the main house. "Mom?" she called, into the darkness of the unlit house.

Suddenly, two figures jumped out from behind the couch. "Surprise!" shouted Lou. TJ grabbed Lyndy in fright, but soon let go, as he realized it was just his aunt and cousin, Katie.

Lyndy recovered quickly, as she did not scare easily, and jumped into Lou's arms. "Auntie Lou! What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mom needed to talk to Jenn about something to do with Maggie's, and thought an in-person meet was better. Plus, she has a week off and wanted to come stay here for a couple nights," Katie answered. Jenn was Wyatt and Brick's mom, and had taken over running the Dude Ranch and Maggie's in Hudson, when Lou was in New York.

"Yay! Does my mom know that you're here?" Lou set Lyndy on the ground, as she wasn't a baby anymore.

"We phoned about it yesterday, and she said to keep it a surprise for you kids. Speaking of your mom, she had to run out with Lily to take Lily's friend home, so you're stuck under my watch." Lou laughed, and ruffled TJ's hair; his bangs were long enough to hook over his ears, just like Ty's had been when he went to Mongolia.

Lou's phone buzzed, and she pulled it out of her pocket. "So what do you want to do?" Katie looked toward the barn. "I'd love to see your horses."

"Sure! You coming TJ?" Lyndy was halfway out the door already, pulling Katie with her. Lyndy sure has a lot of energy, TJ thought. He smiled at his aunt, and motioned towards the door.

"Want to join us?" TJ held the door ajar, in case his aunt was up for a trip to the barn.

Lou looked up from her phone at her nephew. "Nah, that's okay. I have to head over to Maggie's as soon as your mom returns home. I'll see you later though, sound good?"

"Okay." TJ shut the door and raced out to the barn. He entered through the side door and just observed as his sister showed their cousin the new horses. Katie was seventeen now, and looked the same as she always had. She was full of energy, just like Lyndy, which let them get along so well, despite the age difference. TJ was more of the reserved type, and got along better with Ezzy. That didn't mean he didn't loved his cousin though.

Technically Georgie was also his cousin, but she had been older than Katie when he had been born. Before he started school, she had been married and moved on to follow her dreams of jumping horses in the olympics, and all over the world. Married to Wyatt, Georgie enjoyed her life on the move, and hardly ever came home, as she was very busy. To TJ, she was more of a young aunt, opposed to a cousin. Although, he was sure she was supposed to visit soon, when the jumping competitions came closer to Hudson in the late spring.

"TJ?" Katie's voice broke him out of his train of thought. "You okay big guy?"

TJ nodded, embarrassed he had zoned out of his cousin's conversation. "Yeah, sorry, what were you saying?"

"I asked if you had made any good friends." Katie repeated.

TJ shot a quick look at Lyndy, who shook her head. He sighed and turned back to Katie. "I have a few, mainly Emmett and Brexton," he answered.

"That's good." Katie could see there was tension between the two siblings, and drifted over to pat Princess.

Lyndy couldn't understand why her brother didn't' mention Esme to their cousin. "What about Ezzy?" she whispered, drifting closer to her brother.

"I didn't want Katie to get the wrong idea, I mean we're just friends!" TJ replied. "Remember when Katie was in kindergarten, she made a friend with a boy name Abraham? And how she "married" him? I just don't want her to think it's like that."

"Okay," Lyndy nodded and headed out of the barn. She returned seconds later, with Farland and Arlo's reins in her hands. "Katie, do you and TJ want to untack the horses and brush them? I think I hear mom's car in the driveway, and I've got to ask her a question." Sure enough, their mom's truck was pulling into a parking space by the gate.

"Sounds good." Katie took the reins from Lyndy and passed TJ Arlo's. "Shall we get started?"

TJ nodded. He watched his sister leave the barn, and wondered what Lyndy had to ask their mom. He grabbed the saddle and pulled it off his horse and let the silence of untacking wash over him.

Hope this met your standards! Enjoy the rest of the week, and new chapter up soon!
