Amy logged off from her class online. She looked over at the clock and sighed, two hours gone and wasted. She wished like every other student that there was some way to get the knowledge she needed in half the time. She felt the scrunched up one hundred dollar bill in her pocket and realized Lou's baby shower was Sunday and she didn't even have a gift for her. She logged onto the baby registry but almost everything was gone. She sighed.

"Grandpa, I'm going to go out for a little bit." Jack looked up from his newspaper.

"Where and with who?"

"To the mall and by myself unless Ty wants to come. We should be back to bring the horses in."

"So what'd you forget?" asked Nancy walking in with a bowl of soup and handing it to Jack.

"Nothing-," she began "Lou's gift you don't know if there's anything she really wanted but didn't put on the registry."

"Mmm… no but I did see a beautiful crib bedding set at this place my friend Mary owns on Thurmond Ave. I think the name of it is Sweet Dreams. I know Lou would love it. She picked out a conventional set because she didn't know what the sex of the baby was, but I think this would be perfect for a boy or girl."

"Thanks, Nancy. I'll see if Ty can drive me there," she said, hurrying out the door. "Ty," she yelled as he was about to step into his truck.

"Do you think you could give me a ride to Thurmond Ave.?"

Ty glanced at his watch. "Can we be back by five?"

"It should only take me twenty minutes once we get there."

Ty smiled. "All right, get in, besides I'd like to know how things went with Shooter and everybody else."

Amy smiled as she climbed into the truck. She recalled the days events and how everything went.

"We're getting a new horse in tomorrow. Eternal Aurora?" said Ty. He scrounged his face uncertain about the name. "I know they call her Rory. She's supposed to be a real handful. Molly Anderson rescued her from an "aggressive" farm. She thought we might be able to do some good for her."

Amy sat pensive for a moment. "What time tomorrow?"

"She wasn't sure she was going to aim for early morning but if not probably around dinner time."

"I hope she comes in the morning."

"Why?" asked Ty, taking his eyes off the road for a minute to study her face.

"I just am supposed to go out with Casey is all."

"Casey?"

"My roommate from school?" Amy laughed. "You have the worse memory." She squeezed his hand. "Want to come out with us? It's just a party."

"I can't. Maybe next time?"

Amy pressed her lips together and smiled. "Yea, maybe next time."

It was silent for a moment and then their usual chatter and laughter filled the truck again.

"Right, there," Amy pointed and Ty stopped the truck. She jumped out of the truck and Ty told her to go ahead while he check his voice mail. Amy hurried into the store, but stopped as she was surrounded by the most exquisite baby accessories she could think of. She played with the delicate lace bedding and the soft cotton sheets. An old lady with curly gray hair came over and smiled at her.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm actually looking for a bedding set for my sister. Nancy told me she saw something here that she thought she would love."

"You must be Amy, she's told me a lot about you. I think what Nancy saw was over here, but why don't I show you some other things as well."

Ty closed his phone and walked into the store. He saw Amy playing with stuffed animals and then he saw her pick up a crying baby. He watched her rock it gently in her arms. A woman came up from behind him.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"I'm with her," he managed to get out.

Mary smiled. "My granddaughter she has a set of lungs, but Amy seems to be quieting her. I wish I could keep her around her forever. Nadia does not like to sleep especially when she's hungry," she said, showing him the baby's bottle.

"Can you hold her?" asked Amy when Nadia was happily eating.

"Me?" questioned Ty.

"No the man behind you," joked Amy handing him Nadia. "I just want to see the set Nancy was talking about and then we can go."

She watched Ty and how he relaxed after a minute. She saw him smile at the baby out of the corner of her eye as she looked at the plaid pastel linens Nancy had mentioned. They were exquisite and exactly what she had seen Lou eying in a baby magazine. It was softened by white sheets which she knew Lou had all ready gotten. So she just needed to get the skirt, the bumper, and the comforter. She loved the blanket that went with it. It was incredibly soft and was blue on one side and brown on the other with a silhouette of a horse on the blue side. "How much is it?" she asked Mary, finally realizing it might be too expensive.

"How much do you want it to be?" she asked, letting her Russian accent slip. She flipped through her computer screen. "It's on sale. Is 100 good for you?"

"Yes, but that sounds extremely low."

"I tell you its on sale. But if you don't want-," she said pushing her glasses back down.

"No I'll take it," said Amy taking out the one hundred dollar bill.

"Good, I'll wrap it for you. When is the shower?"

"Sunday," said Amy, watching Ty.

"Mmm… nothing like last minute?" she said with a laugh. "Is he your boy friend?" Amy nodded. "He looks so at ease with that baby in his arms."

Amy sighed. "He does."
