Amy received the message from him. He was back and there was nothing she could do about it. What if Ty found out? She shuddered at the thought and tried to assure herself that he wouldn't.

She rode Sundance over the jumps carelessly and the pony picked up on this. Amy forgot about her position and wasn't focused at all. She felt limp and lifeless, like someone had sucked the life out of her. It was him that did this to her. She knew it. She felt so ashamed of herself, she couldn't even bring herself to tell Ty.

Sundance suddenly refused one of the jumps, and Amy having not paid attention went flying forwards to land on her back on the other side of the obstacle. She cursed at herself momentarily as the pain shot through her back. Ty saw this and came running towards her.

"Amy are you okay?" He asked as he tried to help her up.

"I'm fine just leave me alone", She snapped and he backed up a few steps as she picked herself up off the ground and dusted off her jeans before grabbing Sundance's reins and leading him out of the arena.

"Amy, what's going on? Talk to me", Ty said as he walked up to her.

"Nothing is wrong, okay?" She snapped back, he decided to just momentarily give up, obviously she was only going to get more annoyed at him.

Georgie looked around for Mallory. Jack had ordered her to muck out the stalls but there was no way she was going to be doing it all by herself. She certainly wasn't going to do Dreamer's stall, that horse had a nasty bite. Amy had been working on her for a couple of weeks now. Dreamer wasn't getting any better.

The owners had bought the dapple grey horse from the slaughter house. She was a racehorse before she was sent there but wasn't winning enough. She was feisty enough though to win a few more races or so Georgie thought. Surely there must have been a better reason as to why she didn't win.

Ashley sat on the couch watching the television. She had been feeling miserable all day, she felt sorry for Amy, having to be pregnant, dealing with Blair while still working with the horses. She hadn't seen Amy lately, Soraya had seen her and told Ashley that she had changed.

Caleb even told her that Ty told him she didn't really want to be around him anymore. She wondered what had changed. Why would Amy be so withdrawn? Did something happen to her that none of them knew about?

Mallory was sitting with Badger when a small girl came walking towards them. As she got closer Mallory could see it was Georgie. She got up from where she was sitting and walked towards the girl.

"Jack needs stables to be mucked out", She told Mallory as she crossed her arms.

"Well, can't you do that?" She replied.

"I could say the same to you, besides, I'm not mucking out Dreamer's stall, that horse bites", Georgie whined.

"Fine, but if I get bitten you are so going to pay", Mallory warned her as they walked towards the barn. They saw Ty untacking Sundance and wondered where Amy was.

"Where's Amy?" Georgie asked.

"She said she needed some time alone", He replied as he gestured with his head towards her small figure sitting down in a distant paddock.

"What's going on with her?" Georgie thought outloud.

"She's probably got Post natal depression", Mallory suggested receiving estranged looks from both Georgie and Ty, "Well, there's this thing called childbirth which can leave some women depressed but on top of that she also had to deal with the kidnapping of her child, she's probably real torn up inside."

Ty finished untacking Sundance and looked at Amy who was now walking towards him. His heart broke when he thought of the words that Mallory had used 'She's probably real torn up inside', if that was the case, why did she push him away. He decided he needed to help her. She couldn't do this alone, what if she had suicidal thoughts. He shook his head to rid it of the idea, Amy wouldn't think like that. He put the pony back in his stall and walked towards his fiancé.

"Hey", He said as he wrapped an arm around her waist from the side.

"Hey yourself", She replied, looking at the ground.

"Amy I have a question", He said to her as she continued to look at the ground.

"Shoot."

"Are you depressed", Amy stopped dead in her tracks. She didn't know how to answer, he had just come straight out with the question. Was she? She didn't know, she was confused and scared but sad?

"I don't know", She replied as she walked towards the house and just as she entered Amber started crying, "I'll get her."

Ty thought about how much sleep Amy must be getting, having to always tend to the baby. It mustn't have been good for her. He watched as she grabbed their baby and Amber snuggled up against Amy, falling back to sleep almost instantly. He smiled as he saw her kiss the baby's forehead and place her back in the crib.

"She always does that", Amy complained as she rubbed her forehead.

"Does what?" Ty queried.

"Starts crying so I go hold her and then go back to sleep straight away", Amy said as she closed the door to the nursery.

Lou looked at the house. Renovations were coming along nicely but it would still be a few more weeks before it was ready for them to move into.

"And the kitchen is nearly done", The renovator said as he gave them a tour through their house.

"So how many more weeks did you say before you were finished?" She asked as she bounced Katie on her hip and the child tangled it's fingers in her hair.

"About two or three, we'll find out in a week", He said as they walked back out to their car.

"I hope it's ready soon", Lou told Peter as they drove away from the construction site.

"It will be", He said back to her.
