Twenty years later:
As time passed many changes had taken place at Heartland. Jack had passed on and shortly after so did Lisa. Amy had another child, Lily, four year after Marion was born and Cassandra had another, Beth, two years after Lily was born.
Ty, Amy and Lou inherited Heartland and Fairfield. Lou and Peter moved to Fairfield while Ty and Amy moved into the main house at Heartland. Tim still lived at Big River. Ty and Cassandra ran the clinic since Scott had retired. Caleb managed the ranch overseeing the cattle herd helping Amy with client horses and assisting Lou with the dude ranch.
With their parents being so close Marion and Caleb Jr. or CJ as he was called they grew up as an inseparable couple. They excelled in school and shared a deep passion for horses. Where ever Marion was CJ sure to be close by.
"It will be our turn to have everyone for Christmas" Amy reminded Ty. How many will that make?" Ty questioned. "Lou, Peter, Georgia, Katie, Caleb, Cassandra, CJ, Beth, you, me, Marion, Lily and dad so 13" Amy answered.
As everyone gathered around the table for Christmas dinner CJ and Marion had a smile on their faces. Earlier that morning with no one else around CJ asked Marion "Since you are the love of my life will you marry me" "I thought you would never ask" she said. "Of course I will marry you". As everyone was finishing dinner Marion and CJ announced their engagement.
They were married the following June and moved into the loft that Ty and Amy occupied when they were first married.
