*~Walker's
office~*
Walker was trying to think of
something to get his pregnant wife for her birthday coming up. He was pondering over ideas and did not
notice Alex walk into his office. "Walker, earth to Walker!" Alex
said. "Huh, what….hey sweetheart." Walker said in response as he quickly hid
his ideas for her birthday present. He
noticed that she was crying and asked, "Alex, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" Alex wipes her eyes and replies, "Dad just
called me and told me that Amy's fiancée was just killed in a automobile
accident near their home in South Padre Island." "Oh, my god how is Amy doing?" Walker said as he comforted his emotional wife. "I don't know, I just wish that I could be
there for my sister, but I am worried about flying that far in my
condition." With saying that, she left
Walker's office. Trivette, Sydney and
Gage came upon Alex leaving Walker's office in tears. They proceed to go into Walker's office. "Hey, pard what's the matter with
Alex?" "Nothing, I will explain later. I have some things that I have to do for
Alex's birthday coming up." Walker
responds to his partner. "Can I get in
on your surprise?" Trivette said. "Oh, no you can not keep a secret from my
wife, every time that I get hurt you
end up telling her anyway." Walker
stunned Trivette with his answer. After
saying that Walker leaves the office and heads for Gordon Cahill's apartment in
Austin, hoping to find him there instead of flying to the Big Apple.
~Gordon
Cahill's apartment in Austin~
Gordon, Amy and her 3-year-old
daughter Taylor are playing in the living room, when someone knocks on the
door. "I'll get it." Gordon says. Gordon answers the door, and there stands Walker. Gordon jumps to a conclusion that something
has happened to Alex. "Walker, what are
you doing here, has Alex went into labor, is she ok?" "Take it easy, Gordon she is not due for a couple more months,
she is fine and it probably on her way home as we speak. Anyway I am here to see Amy." Walker tells his father-in-law. Gordon says, "Let me introduce you, Amy,
Taylor come here I want you two to meet Alex's husband. This is Walker, Walker this is Alex's little
sister Amy, and her 3-year-old daughter Taylor." Right after Gordon does the introductions, his adoring
granddaughter leaps into Walker's arms and says, "So, you are my Uncle, aren't
you?" "Yes, Taylor, I am you
Uncle." Walker says to his anxious
niece. "Taylor Alexandra, that is not
polite. Apologize to Walker." Amy says to her daughter. "Amy, that is ok, can I speak to you alone,
for a minute." Walker says to his
sister-in-law. "Dad, Taylor will you
leave me and Walker alone for a little bit." Gordon and Taylor go into the den and plays with the numerous toys that
Taylor has. "Ok, Walker what do you
need to talk to me about?" She asks. "Alex told me what happened, and I am sorry,
she wanted to come here but since she is seven months pregnant with our first
child, the doctor has told her not to travel." Walker tells Amy. Amy responds,
"Congratulations!" "I was wondering if
you and Taylor would accompany me to Dallas to surprise Alex for her
birthday!" Walker tells Amy his
plan. "Alex, does not know about
Taylor, I was 17 when I had her. I have
no clue on how she will respond to me having a child at 17. I am 20 and a single mom." Amy tells Walker. "Just come with me and we will see. It is getting late and I have to call my wife and tell her how
come I am not home yet." He uses
Gordon's phone to call his wife and lie to her, he told her that he was stuck
in Houston, getting her something for her birthday. While Walker was calling Alex, Amy was pondering over whether she
should accompany Walker to Dallas to see her sister. She finally realized that a change of scenery would do her and
Taylor good. Walker approached Amy
asks, "Well, have you made a decision." Amy responds, "Yes, I have, Taylor and I would love to go to Dallas with
you." Taylor and Amy say their goodbyes
to Gordon. They depart for the long
drive back to Dallas with Walker. Taylor slept all of the way to Dallas with her head lying on Walker's
arm.
~At
Walker and Alex's Ranch~
Trivette, Sydney and Gage arrived to
see that Walker is not there yet. Trivette knows what Walker is up too because he called ahead and said to
have Alex distracted when he pulls down the long road to the ranch, but he
asks, "Alex, where is Walker at?" Just
then, Walker pulls up. Amy gets out of
the truck while Walker picks up his sleeping niece, he tells Amy, "Why don't
you go into the house first and I will bring Taylor in next." Amy walks in first and says, "Well, I see
that you have not changed a bit, sis. Happy Birthday." "Amy what are you
doing here and how did you get here?" Alex says. Just then, Walker
walks in the door with Taylor sleeping in his arms. "Walker, you went all the way to Austin to pick up Amy and bring
her here for me." "Yup, I seen how
disappointed you were when you could not be there for her, so I went and
brought her to you. I had a little help
from Trivette, I told him that he told you I would kill him." Alex notices the little girl in her
husband's arms and asks, "Walker, who do you have in your arms?" "I will let Amy tell you." Walker tells his wife. "This is my daughter Taylor Alexandra, she
is 3." Amy tells a stunned sister. Trivette, Sydney and Gage are totally lost
by this reunion. Trivette jumps in and
asks, "What is going on here?" Walker
says, "Trivette, Sydney, Gage this is Alex's little sister Amy and her daughter
Taylor." Just then Taylor wakes up and
sees that she is in Walker's arms and says, "Uncle Walker, where are we?" Alex smiles as her niece asks her husband
that question. "Well, Taylor you are at
my house now. This is your Aunt Alex
and these confused people are our friends, Trivette, Sydney and Gage." Taylor remarks, "Uncle Walker, Gage is
cute." Just then, Gage blushes. Alex comes over, picks up Taylor and says,
"I'm Alex, your mommy's sister." Taylor
touches Alex's pregnant tummy and says, "And this is your baby isn't." "Yes, Taylor that would be your cousin and
your mommy's niece or nephew." The
party goes on with more gifts for Alex. Trivette, Sydney and Gage leave. Amy is outside watching her daughter petting Walker's horse Amigo, while
Walker and Alex are discussing Amy. "Walker, why don't we have Amy and Taylor move in here at the
ranch? It would be good for them to get
a fresh start on life." Walker agrees
and calls Amy and Taylor in the living room where Walker and Alex are sitting
on the couch. Alex is the one, who
asks, "Amy, why don't you and Taylor move in here with us? Walker and I have been discussing it and we
think that it would be good for you and Taylor to get a fresh start to
life." Amy says, "It will be crowded
with Taylor and I here and you and Walker expecting a baby soon." Walker replies, "There are four rooms, one
for us, a nursery for the baby, and 2 guest rooms. Alex and I will be honored if you and Taylor take the
guestrooms. Amy does not know what to
say but her daughter goes over, hugs her Aunt and Uncle, and says, "I want to
stay here with you guys, and play with the horse and the new baby." Walker and Alex just laugh at their niece's
response. Amy says to Walker and Alex,
"Walker, Alex Taylor and I will be honored to move here to Dallas with you
guys."
Walker, Alex, Amy and Taylor piled
into Walker's truck while Trivette, Sydney and Gage follow in a U-haul truck to
Gordon's apartment. Walker strictly
instructs his wife to watch Taylor while they pack things and puts them in the
trucks, and then they will head for the ranch. Meanwhile, at the ranch, they got all of Amy and Taylor's things moved in. Taylor is upstairs in her new room playing
with her toys while Amy is outside talking with Walker and Alex. Amy tells Walker and Alex, "There is
something that I want to tell you guys." Walker says, "Ok, Amy what is it?" Amy says, "I want to thank you and Alex for all you have done for my daughter
and I, you guys have given us a NEW BEGINNING in life." Walker and Alex both say in unison, "You are
welcome."
