A/N: Apologies for the lateness of this chapter. I've been really sick with a cold. I hope you all enjoy this!

Amy woke the next morning, a smile etched on her lips as her fingers played with the delicate ring. It was a simple sliver band with a small heart shaped diamond with two smaller diamonds on each side. While she loved it dearly, she hoped that Ty didn't spend a lot of money on it. She knew that he couldn't afford it, no matter how much he might deny that fact.

A knock sounded on her bedroom door, and she quickly dove her hands under her pillow to hide the ring. It had been their joint choice to wait until dinner that night to tell the family about their engagement. Mainly because it was something that they didn't want one person figuring out before anyone else. They wanted the whole family to know at one time.

"Yeah." Amy caused, trying to feign drowsiness as the door opened.

"You gonna sleep all day?" Lou asked, her eyebrow raised.

Amy shrugged her shoulders as well as she could. "Maybe."

Lou rolled her eyes, "Well, I really would appreciate it if you could watch Katie for me."

Amy nodded, "I'm getting up now. Ty has the day off, so we'll double team her so that I can get some work done."

"Alright. I just have a few errands to run, and I'm going to pick up some stuff for stew tonight, unless you want something else for dinner?"

Amy smiled "Stew is fine."

Lou chuckled, "Well, I'm leaving in ten minutes, so you better get up."

"Coming." Amy called, while she waited for Lou to duck out of her room. Once the coast was clear, Amy pulled the engagement ring off her finger and hid it away in her nightstand drawer. She hated taking it off, but it was the only way that they were going to keep it from everyone until dinner. She smirked softly, it was finally her time to shock everyone with a big dinnertime confession.

"Caleb!" Ashley yelled, as she swatted at his arm.

Caleb's body jerked, before he cracked open an eye. "What time is it?"

Ashley shook her head. "Well past time for you to get up. You're late for work at Heartland."

Caleb groaned, "Aw, dammit. Jack is going to be pissed. Especially if Amy or Ty told him what happened at Maggie's yesterday."

Ashley stared at him for a moment, her expression turning somber. "What was that about anyway? I have never seen you act like that before."

Caleb pulled himself up into a sitting position. His legs swung over the side of the bed. He took a long look at Ashley's face, and could tell that she hadn't slept well the night before.

"It's really nothing to worry about, Ash. Me and Finley, we go way back. Never have quite gotten along. Though I heard that since he settled down with this girl that he had calmed down, changed a bit. I guess I heard wrong."

Ashley sighed, "Caleb, you really scared me yesterday."

Caleb ran his hands over his face in an effort to wake himself up. "I'm sorry, babe. I never meant to scare you. I just – Finley brings out a part of me that I would've rather left buried. I haven't seen in him at least a year or two, and I haven't spoken to him since the last time he broke my nose."

Ashley's eyes narrow, "That piece of trash broke your nose?"

Caleb shrugged, "I nearly dislocated his jaw, so it kind of evened out. It's just guy stuff, Ash. We don't get along. Never have and probably never will. He thinks I'm a cheater because I always beat his ass. Reality is, Finley's never quite been the same since his accident. Messed him up really bad. So he just developed this mightier than all attitude of his, and started pissing people off."

Ashley sighed, "Well, I would appreciate it if you stayed away from him. I don't want you getting into any fights with this guy. He seems unstable. Who knows what he's really capable of?"

Caleb chuckled as he stood up, "He's an angry guy, Ash, I won't deny that, but he's not stupid. He won't do nothing worse than a fistfight, trust me."

Caleb pressed his lips against Ashley's cheek as a knock sounded on the door. Groaning, Caleb pushed away, as Ashley turned toward the door. Her brow wrinkled once the door was open, "Who the hell are you?"

Caleb walked slowly over to the door and took in the woman before him. He was fairly certain that he had never seen her before, but he had been known to be wrong.

"Name's Chloe Locklin, I'm Finley's wife."

Amy scratched Spartan on his nose, causing the horse to snort in approval. "Who's a good boy?" Amy cooed at the black horse. Spartan merely stared at her for a moment, before nudging her shoulder with his nose. Amy chuckled, before grabbing the carrot that she had hidden in her jean pocket. "Is that what you want?" Amy asked, as Spartan nudged at her shoulder again. "Alright, Spartan." Amy shook her head, before carefully feeding the carrot to him.

"Have I ever told you that I find your quiet discussions with horses incredibly sexy?" A husky voice whispered from behind her.

Amy smiled brightly without turning around. She let her hand slide up and down the side of Spartan's face. "Maybe – my memory is a little fuzzy." Amy whispered back, as two arms wrapped their way around her waist, pulling her taut against the firm chest behind her.

"Mmhmm." Ty's voice reverberated against Amy's ear. "You're very sexy, Amy Fleming."

Amy cocked an eyebrow before turning around in Ty's arms. She shrugged softly before speaking, "You're not half bad yourself, Ty Borden."

Ty chuckled lightly, "How is my sexy fiancee doing this lovely and beautiful morning?"

Amy giggled, before slapping at Ty's arm. "Ty! If you keep that up, someone will overhear. We agreed. Everyone finds out at the same time. Not to mention the fact that almost no one here can actually keep a secret to save their life. If one person finds out, then the rest will find out."

Ty nodded, "You're right, sorry." He smiled softly, "I can think of two people in particular who can't keep a secret."

Amy's eyebrow cocked again, as she stared at Ty, "Let me guess, Mallory and Lou?"

Ty chuckled, "Great minds think alike." He mumbled, before leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers. "So, Jack is getting ready to leave. He wanted me to track you down for babysitting duty."

Amy wagged her finger in front of Ty's face while making a clicking noise. "I don't think so, Mr. Borden. I volunteered the both of us for babysitting duty. I don't want to sit in the house all day by myself, and I know that you have the day off."

Ty sighed, "I have an exam coming up, Amy. That's why I asked for a couple of extra days off this week, so I can study."

Amy puckered out her lip slightly, "But I'll be so lonely in that big house all by my lonesome."

Ty groaned. "Am I ever going to win an argument with you?"

Amy shook her head, "No, Ty. Remember, it's because you love me."

"Well, maybe I don't anymore."

Amy chuckled, "Yeah, right." She pressed her lips against his cheek. "Now, let's go in there and watch Katie together."

"Yes, my bride-to-be."

"Ty!" Amy groaned.

"Hey, come on, Katie." Ty cooed at the young girl. "Aunt Amy will be right back." He whispered, as he cradled the toddler closer to his chest. "I hope."

"I can still hear you." Amy called from Katie's room. "Besides, I told you that you could just come with me if you didn't feel comfortable being alone with Katie."

Ty chuckled, "Your aunt doesn't think I can do this whole – babysitting thing. Let's show her what Uncle Ty can do." Katie giggled and clapped her hands together in answer to Ty's words. "Yeah, totally taking that as a yes..." He paused, carefully sniffing the air. "Oh, okay. Uncle Ty can't handle that. Sheesh!"

"What's going on in there?" Amy called.

"Uh – Amy. We have a little issue over here." Ty called, as he walked quickly toward Katie's room. "Oh, man. What did she eat?" He asked, as Amy started to laugh.

"I'm going to assume that children won't be on the plate for a while?" She asked as her eyebrow cocked.

"Wait, they all smell that bad?"

Amy rolled her eyes. "Says the man that works with animals for a living." Amy cooed at Katie. "Yes, Ty. It's poop. It isn't supposed to smell like roses."

"Gross, I can't watch this." He said, putting his hands up in defense.

"If you ever want children – or you know, to marry a woman that wants children, you better learn." Amy said pointedly.

"Seriously?"

Amy stared at him, "What, did you think that I was going to change every single dirty diaper? I don't think so. If you help make them, you help change them."

Ty chuckled, the grossed out expression leaving his face, as he started to laugh hard. "First..." he trailed off as he tried to regain some of his earlier composure, "you sound just like Lou. I think your sister is rubbing off on you." Ty watched as Amy frowned and her hip cocked slightly. "Second, you honestly think I was being serious? Just because you've never seen me change a dirty diaper doesn't mean I can't do it. I work with animals that crap out things bigger than Katie. Pretty sure I can handle this."

Amy's eyebrow cocked, "Oh really? I have to see this." She said, before stepping aside. "Show me what you got, Uncle Ty."

"Yeah, okay. I can do this." Ty spoke softly, trying to psych himself up. "It doesn't matter that it is the foulest smelling thing on the planet." He said, trying his hardest to not breathe out his nose. Carefully, Ty pulled up the tabs on Katie's diaper and frown. "Oh, that is just wrong." He looked toward Amy, "Seriously, what is Lou feeding this kid?"

Amy shook her head, before opening her mouth to speak. The words froze on her tongue as a knock sounded on the front door. "Okay, Uncle Ty. Just, throw that one away, clean her up, and put a new diaper on. Lou keeps them in the second drawer there on the changing table." Amy said, before turning to leave. "Oh, and don't let her roll off the changing table. You don't want to explain that to Lou."

Ty sighed, "Who knew changing a diaper could be so hard?" He asked Katie. When all she did was stare at him, he groaned. "Alright, let's just get this over with." He pulled the diaper off, causing his nose and eyebrow wrinkled at the sight. "And I thought the smell was bad." He whispered. Ty looked around the changing area before smiling. He was afraid he'd have to go on a hunt for the wipes and powder. Carefully, Ty wiped Katie up before shaking out a decent amount of powder. "Alright, diapers." Ty said, before bending down to retrieve one. "I'm keeping an eye on you, Katie. No rolling." He commanded, causing Katie to giggle again. Rolling his eyes, Ty grabbed a diaper and stood back up. Carefully he laid the diaper out, before picking up Katie's feet and making sure that it was in the right position. After a moment of pondering, Ty pulled the diaper up and snapped it into place. "Ah. Now see that wasn't so hard." He smiled at Katie before picking her up. "There isn't anything that Uncle Ty can't do or handle." Ty said, before cradling Katie to his chest.

"Ty!" Amy called from the other room.

"I might've spoken too soon." Ty whispered, before leaving the room. He walked swiftly toward the kitchen and stopped in his tracks. "What the hell?" He whispered.

"Ty, she needs help." Amy spoke, as she swiped back a wisp of blonde hair from Ashley's face. "So does Caleb."
