A/N: As soon as Ty proposed to Amy (S06E09), I had been waiting for them to start having kids! First of all, the engagement was WAY too long. And now, we're halfway into season 9 and they haven't even thought about starting a family yet. I got kind of annoyed at this, so I decided to write the story myself, since the screenwriters couldn't do it themselves. Here goes nothing . . .
Ty woke up to the sound of Amy retching in the bathroom, seeming to be vomiting into the toilet. Hearing this, he sprang out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Sure enough, Amy was kneeling on the floor, knuckles white as she gripped the toilet bowl. Quickly, he came up behind her and held her hair away from her face, soothingly rubbing his thumb up and down her back. After a while, she was done, panting shakily as sweat ran down her forehead.
"Hey, are you alright, Amy?" asked Ty, a concerned look on his face. "Why didn't you wake me up before?"
"I figured it was nothing," Amy replied, shrugging it off. "I still think it is. Probably just a bug or something." She stood up shakily, trying her best to prove that nothing was wrong.
Ty blocked her way. "Amy . . ." he started, not fooled for a minute by what Amy said.
"Ty! I'm fine, really. I've got a client coming in an hour, so I need to get ready," she persisted.
Before she could slide past him, Ty put his hands on his hands on her shoulders and said, "You may say you're fine, but we both know you're not."
"Ty . . ." pleaded Amy, pouting.
He sighed. "Fine, but I still want you to make an appointment with Dr. Virani, okay? You can't pretend that everything's okay, when, clearly, it's not."
Amy pursed her lips. "Fine . . . I'll call them. But it's nothing, you'll see."
Ty nodded and let her go. "Good. I have a field call to get to, but if your appointment is over by one we can meet at Maggie's for lunch, alright?"
Amy nodded absentmindedly, playfully pushing him out the door with his jacket half on. "Bye already, Dr. Borden! Shoo!"
Amy sighed as he went down. Ty definitely wasn't going to forget this.
Amy pulled into Dr. Virani's clinic, nausea still lingering a bit in her throat. As soon as she sat down in the waiting room, the nurse called, "Amy Borden?" She stood up and followed the nurse into Dr. Virani's room.
"Hello, Amy. Nice to see you again! Come have a seat," greeted Dr. Virani.
"Hey, Dr. Virani. I just needed to schedule an appointment because this morning I was throwing up a lot. I'm sure it's just a stomach bug, but my husband was worried."
Dr. Virani smiled knowingly. "I see."
After a few tests, a quick examination, and some questions, Dr. Virani said, "Well, Amy. This might come as a shocker to you, but you're pregnant! Congratulations!"
Amy was speechless. She opened her mouth wordlessly gaping like a fish. When she finally found her voice, she said, "Oh my god. Really? H-how far along am I? I-I mean, how do you know? Are you sure?" she stuttered gleefully, the news too good to be true.
Dr. Virani smiled calmly. "Amy, you're about three weeks in. I know, I was just like you when I realized I was having Gabriel. I'll send you an email with info about check-ups, what you should be doing, and other useful things. But for now, I think you should go home and rest. Congratulations, again Amy."
"Thank you, Dr. Virani," said Amy, still half in a trance as she walked to her truck. When she got in, she put a tentative hand on her stomach. "This is really happening." She breathed. "I'm pregnant . . ."
At Maggie's, Amy picked at her salad nervously, as Ty told her about his field call that morning. Only half-listening, all that she was thinking about was the baby . . .
"Amy? Amy?" said Ty, looking at her expectantly.
She blinked. "Oh, sorry . . . what were you saying again?" she mumbled.
Ty stopped eating and raised an eyebrow. "I asked you how your appointment went. And from the looks of it, not to well,"
Amy bit her lip, refusing to meet Ty's eyes.
"Amy, is something wrong?" he asked, now sounding worried.
"Well . . . I think I better tell you outside. . ." she said, a little shakily.
"Ok . . . you wait in the car while I pay, alright? Whatever it is, it'll be fine," he assured her, gently squeezing her hand under the table.
Soon enough, Ty came out of the diner and put his arm around her.
"Ty . . . I'm pregnant," she said her voice barely above a whisper.
Ty stood still, frozen for a split second, then he said, "Amy, that's amazing! We're going to be parents!" He simply picked her up and swung her in a circle, kissing her as he brought her down.
"I know, Ty, it's amazing!" Amy breathed in joy.
As Ty drove them both home, he and Amy knew there had never been a happier moment in their entire lives. . .
A/N: Ok, so that was the first chapter! Please R&R! It was a lot of fun writing Ty's reaction to Amy's announcement. I absolutely love writing fluff between them . . . they've got to be the best couple ever. Anyway, I'm not going to update everyday, but mostly once a week . . . so don't give up on this story! Thanks for reading!
