Set after 9x18
Inspiration line. : So did a very attractive little gal who was singing on the grand stand. A few bumps along the way but she ended up marrying me. Jack to Ty 2x7
Ty looked over where Amy was sleeping peacefully in their bed, her hand tucked under her cheek. He smiled softly as he opened his dresser drawer and went to pull out a sleep shirt. his hand brushed against something solid and he pushed the shirts aside and pulled out a belt buckle. His smile widened as he ran his thumb over it. His mind wondered back to the moment Jack had given him that belt buckle. He remembered that day like it was yesterday, after riding a bull to try and impress Amy then trying to save her by lying about driving Ashley's car.
The stab of pain when he saw Amy and Caleb messing around on the lawn. Then he remembered the words Jack had said to him about Lyndy as he handed him that belt buckle. "a few bumps along the way but she ended up marrying me."
Holding the solid weight of that buckle in his hands he looked back over at his sleeping wife. His wife who just that night had made him happier then he'd ever thought possible by telling him he was going to be a father.
He never thought he'd be here married to this woman, about to be a father, he knew that if it hadn't been for Jack and his guidance he wouldn't be here he'd be somewhere down a bad road, he'd have followed in his fathers footsteps and ruined his life or been dead, He wasn't though and that was because of Jack, because Jack believed in him. Believed he was worth the effort, believed he would make something of himself, Jack had known him and Amy would end up together even when Ty himself had given up hope.
That belt buckle in his hand was proof of Jacks belief in him, Ty softly slide the buckle back into it's place and silently pledged that he would never let Jack down. He would continue to be a man that Jack could depend on and respect. A man worthy of this family that he was lucky enough to call his own.
He changed for bed and crawled in wrapping his arms around his wife and buried his nose in her sweet smelling hair thankful for every moment he had at heartland. The good the bad and the man that made it all possible.
A/N thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter hope you like it. No idea what the next moment or where inspiration will strike but I'm sure there will be more.
