"Are you okay, Amy?" Ty asked, worried. "You've been quiet all day." He noted.

"Yeah... I'm.." she began.. "I guess I'm not okay.."

"Oh?" Ty replied, sitting down next to her at the kitchen island. "What's wrong Hun?"

"Well.. you know Minnie? How her abdominal wall tore after giving birth to Boone and Theodore?" Amy asked, looking down, scared.

"Yes, of course," Ty said, moving his hand to take Amy's.

"It's just... I'm scared," she admitted after a while.

"Of what?" Ty asked, trying to get her to open up.

"... Everything.. Ty.. What is something happens to me when I have our baby?" Amy asked, fear in her eyes.

"Amy..." he trailed off. Ty needed to think about how he wanted to word what he wanted to say. He didn't want to scare her more. "The chances of something going wrong are high, but practically all of them can be dealt with these days. Okay?" Amy nodded. "I know you, I know that you've been worried since we found out Minnie was having twins. Stop worrying Hun; it's not good for you or the Little Nugget."

"Okay. Thank you," Amy murmured as she stood up. She wrapped her arms around Ty and rested her head on his shoulder. Ty smiled slightly and wrapped her arms around his wife's petite body.

"There's nothing to be scared of; and if something comes up, you have me, and the rest of the family to lean on, alright?"

"Yeah," Amy nodded her head... "Do we have clementines?" she asked.

"I.. don't know. I know you ate the ones we had up here, but I can't remember if there are any in the truck or in the ranch house," Ty told her. "I can go check if you'd like?" He offered.

"Please," Amy looked at him with puppy eyes.

"I'll be right back," he said, de-tangling himself from Amy. Before he left the loft, she gave her a soft kiss.

A few minutes later, Ty returned to the loft, an unhappy yet somehow entertained expression on his face. Amy's eyes lit up when he walked over, but her face quickly fell when she noticed Ty was returning empty handed.

"I'm sorry Hun," Ty started. Though, his apology wasn't quick enough; tears were already collecting in Amy's eyes. "I'll get you some clementines tomorrow, I promise," he tried to comfort her.

Amy nodded. "Me and our Little Nugget wanted some clementines right now," she cried.

"Oh boy," Ty thought, "and so the pregnancy mood swings begin."

The End.
