NOTE: THIS IS A DIFFERENT TIMELINE THAN THE REAL HEARTLAND SEASONS.

Amy rolled over in bed, looking at motionless, quiet, green eyed Ty. He turned his head ever so slightly towards Amy. "Morning." Ty said as he put his hand on her stomach. "Hows the little nugget?" Ty sat up.

"Very good. So good I think it wants me to...throw up!" Amy jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Ty ran after her. He pulled back her hair and rubbed her back as she kneeled next to the toilet gagging. "Ugh." Amy flushed the toilet. "Nothing like smelling vomit in the morning." Amy sighed.

"Do you need some ginger ale?" Ty asked Amy.

"No I'm fine now." Amy stood up. "Well I'm going to get dressed. Lou needs help making the thanksgiving dinner. Time to spend five minutes pulling up my jeans!" Amy laughed sarcastically. Ty cringed.

Back at the house, Lou was up and stuffing the turkey with mashed potato stuffing, mashing sweet potatoes, and measuring spices. Georgie walking into the kitchen. "Oh everything smells so good!" Georgie said.

"Thats the cinnamon you smell. Everything else is still raw." Lou giggled.

"Well I still can wait!" Georgie said walking outside.

"Ah no! Uh uh. Help. Here. Now." Lou said pointing to the stove.

"But I was going to brush Phoenix!" Georgie complained.

"You can do that after." Lou handed her an apron.

"Ugh." Georgie took it out of Lou's hand and went to the stove.

Jack was on a morning ride with Mitch going to check the fences. "So, got any plans for today?" Jack asked. "Ahh nah. Probably just going to get some takeout turkey or something like that." Mitch replied.

"Oh you don't have to do that. Come have dinner with us!" Jack insisted. "Oh I don't want to interrupt your family's dinner."

"No. no you won't. Now as your boss is telling you to come for dinner."

"Yes boss!" Mitch laughed.

Amy walked into the kitchen. "Oh Lou it smells amazing in here!" Amy exclaimed. Ty walked in. "Hey is Jack here?" Ty said looking around.

"No he went on his morning ride." Lou said. Katie came running in. "Georgie! I need help setting up my fairy castle!" Katie exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Katie. I can't right now I'm helping mommy." Georgie said.

"Uncle Ty? Will you help me?" Katie asked Ty.

"Well of course! Lets go! I will race you!" The both ran into Katie's room. Lou, Amy, and Georgie laughed. "Alright I'm here to help!" Amy said. "Good. Grab some oven mitts." Lou said pointing towards the mitts on the counter.

"Can I go somewhere after this?" Georgie asked.

"Where?" Lou replied.

"I have to meet Adam and Jade. We were going to on a trail ride today."

"We'll see. I need lots of help here. I just found out Lisa, lisa's aunt, Mitch, and Peter are coming." Lou said. "Dad?" Georgie had a shocked look on her face.

"And Mitch." Amy said surprised.

"Oh don't look so surprised. Grandpa invited Mitch. And I invited Peter."

Lou said.

"Well your going to need lots of help making food for all of them!" Amy said.

"Here you go." Ty handed Katie the bridge to her fairy castle. "All finished!" Katie said.

"Wait wait what about this?" Ty picked up two flags.

"Oh," Katie put the flags on. "There!"

"Its very pretty Katie." Ty said. Katie gave a big, sweet smile. Ty then heard a loud scream come from the kitchen.

"Amy!" He yelled as he ran into the kitchen.

"Damn!" Lou was rinsing her hand in cold water. Amy stood by Lou helping. "What happened?" Ty put his hand on Amy's back.

"Lou's pot of boiling water splashed some water onto her hand. " Amy replied.

"Are you ok?" Ty asked Lou.

"Ugh yeah. I'll be fine. Georgie can you put the turkey in the oven?" Lou said grasping her hand.

"Here I'll get that Georgie. You get some vaseline from the cabinet." Ty said grabbing the turkey pan. Georgie gave Amy the vaseline and she spread it all over Lou's hand. Then she wrapped it up. "Ugh, great. Now I can't finish the stupid dinner." Lou wiped her nose.

"Lou its ok. We've got you covered." Amy reassured her.

It was late afternoon. Lou was reading a magazine waiting for everyone to arrive. KNOCK KNOCK. Lou took a breath. Got up and walked toward the door. She flung open the door. "Hey Pe- oh! Evelyn! Lisa! Lovely for you to show up! Come in!" Lou stood beside to let them in. "Good to finally meet you Lou!" Evelyn said grabbing Lou's hands.

"Oh Lou! What happened to your hand?" Lisa took her wrapped hand.

"Oh nothing. Just a water burn. And very nice to meet you Evelyn!" Lou said hugging Evelyn.

"Oh the place smells wonderful!" Lisa looked under the tinfoil for the food.

"Oh don't give me all the credit. Because of this, Amy and Georgie finished cooking for me."

"Speaking of, where is everyone?" Lisa asked.

"Oh Georgie and Katie are in their rooms and Jack is helping Amy put all the horses away and Ty is on an errand run for me. Haha I forgot the wine." Lou said rubbing her eyes.

"Oh lets go sit down and wait till people come in." Evelyn said.

Georgie was up in her room texting Adam and Jade.

Hey. How'd it go today?

Sorry I couldn't come today.

Lou needed help with cooking today.

Send-

"Huh." Georgie sighed. She got out of bed and decided to finish homework from the previous week. "Georgie! Come eat!" Lou called.

"Coming!" Georgie dropped her stuff.

When Georgie came down, the whole table was crowded. She was stuck sitting in a teeny corner between Tim and Ty. Fun. "Hey dad!" She hugged Peter from behind.

"Hey sweetie." Peter squeezed Georgie forward. Georgie sat down every so carefully. Hoping not to make anything spill or break. "Got it?" Ty pulled back Georgie's chair a little.

"Haha I think so." Georgie laughed.

Jack clinked his glass three times. "Excuse me! Thank you. Um I would like to propose a toast. But first lets start on what we are thankful for. Tim you can go first." Jack pointed his fork at Tim.

"Oh really? What an honor ok. Im thankful for being here today spending the day with family. And friends." Tim finished.

"Im thankful for my dad being able to make it today." Georgie said. Peter smiled. "Im thankful for family. Especially the soon to be addition of the family." Ty said rubbing Amy's belly. Amy smiled.

"Im thankful for all of you. For our baby. And for all the horses. Especially Little Theo and Boo!" Amy laughed.

"Im thankful for my girls." Peter said. Lou eyed Peter. "Im thankful for my wonderful wife and everyone here." Jack said.

"Im thankful that I was allowed to dine with all of you wonderful people." Mitch said.

"Im thankful for family and friends." Lou said. "And Katie what are you thankful for?"

"Pogey!" Katie smiled. Everyone laughed.

"Now. A toast! To the present and future!" Jack raised his glass.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"
