"What do you mean stolen?" Amy asked, panicked, even though the horse didn't belong to her she couldn't help but feel worried about it, she was still feeling emotional and tired from the pregnancy.
"He was reported missing not that long ago", Ty explained, "Amy, you shouldn't worry so much, you just had a baby."
"Ty, how is Penelope's foal?" Amy asked out of the blue.
"Well, she's a bit underdeveloped but besides that she's fine", Ty said with hesitation.
"I can feel a but coming on", Amy said with a slight grimace.
"But…" Ty began, "Penelope rejected her, Scott has been nursing her himself, he said that she'll need constant care over the next few weeks if she is to survive oh and I just remembered to tell you that my mum is coming to see the baby in a couple of days."
"Is she bringing Wayde?" Amy asked cautiously.
"I don't know", Ty replied honestly.
"Ty, you don't know if your step father is coming and this is something to do with our child", Amy told him, Ty looked at the ground feeling ashamed of his answer to her question, he knew he should have waited before he told her understanding that she would still be very emotional.
At that point the child began to cry, Amy felt like crying too. With everything that had happened that day she just wanted to curl up into a ball and forget about the world around her, her body ached an excruciating and unbearable pain and the conversation she had just had with Ty didn't help.
"Do you want me to get her?" Ty asked genuinely sensing Amy's mood was not a very positive one.
"No, it's fine, she's probably hungry anyway", Amy said, each word pronounced clearly but without feeling.
The next few minutes while Amy nursed her baby were very awkward, besides the occasional scowl from Amy when the baby bit too hard there was silence between them. After a few minutes Amy had fallen for the deception that her baby had settled but when she went to put her back in her small crib the baby began to wail again. Amy couldn't take it anymore, tears welled in her eyes and Ty came over and took the baby from her before he began bouncing the infant on his shoulder.
Warm tears streamed down Amy's face. She couldn't even keep her own child happy for twenty minutes, how was she supposed to do it for a whole lifetime? After a few minutes the child was sleeping soundly, Ty was a natural at being a parent, Amy felt somewhat jealous of his natural parenting abilities, Why was she such a bad mother?
"What's wrong?" Ty asked as he sat on the bed next to her and put his arm around her back.
"You really wanna know?" Amy asked, Ty nodded so she continued, "I just gave birth to my first baby at eighteen and I wasn't even married, I haven't had a shower in the last twenty four hours, my whole body is aching, Penelope's foal got rejected by her mother, a famous horse has recently been stolen, your mother is bringing your dangerous step father to town and it's barely been a day and I'm already a horrible mother!"
"Honey, you aren't a horrible mother", Ty assured her but he could tell she wasn't convinced, "I love you and so does your child, whether you believe it or not."

"Yes, I apologise that your appointment for today was cancelled", Lou said again into the phone while she prepared dinner, "Well, Amy Fleming just had her baby last night so it is understandable that she couldn't come and do your appointment", Lou was becoming frustrated, Peter was standing nearby with Katie in his arms, "I'm sorry about the inconvenience but you will just have to wait until Amy is available", Lou paused again while she listened to the people on the other end of the line, "What do you want us to do?" She asked and listened to their answer, "Pay you for inconveniencing you? That's ridiculous!" Lou raised her voice but what they said next shocked her, "You can't sue us for that!" With that she ended the call.
"Please don't tell me I heard everything correctly", Peter said as he looked Lou in the eyes, knowing she was on edge.
"They want to sue us", she said, holding back tears.

Blair looked at her son as he read a book, she was finally happy, the police had taken custody of her child's father and she knew now that they were free. No more secrets or hiding things, just pure freedom. She still felt bad over the whole incident with claiming Ty to be Beau's father, even she knew it was impossible for Ty to be the father she couldn't help but hope maybe he would look after her and her son. She knew now though, after seeing him with Amy that he belonged with Amy not her and Blair had finally accepted that fact and was now able to move on with her life. Start from new beginnings.

"They can't sue you for that, can they?" Mallory asked as she ate another forkful of mashed potatoes.
"Well, they did travel quite a distance to have an appointment with Amy for their horse", Lou added.
The dinner table felt empty with only the four of them, Peter had stayed back at his and Lou's new house to look after Katie.
"Do you think they'll go through with it?" Mallory asked inquisitively.
"Most likely", Jack added.
"How much do they intend to sue us for anyway?" Tim asked as he read another paper
"They probably won't get that much but it's not just the money it's also our reputation", Lou said before she started clearing the table.
"I'm sure that everything will work out fine", Jack added.

Ashley laid across her mother's couch as she flicked through the TV stations. The pregnancy had been taking its toll, even though she wasn't quite two months in yet. She had agreed with Caleb that she would live under the same roof as him if he got a decent house, she was still shocked at how close their marriage came to being over, but thrilled at the opportunity to be a mother. She began to think of Amy and Ty and their gorgeous baby, she couldn't wait to have her baby.

"The doctors were all shocked at how well she was doing considering how early they thought she was", The nurse said as she came in to check on the baby, "However, they realised that the pregnancy might have been further along than they thought, they now think that it would have been closer to four weeks premature rather than five."
"I'm just glad that she's doing well, do you know when I will be able to take her home?" Amy asked as she held her baby close to her chest.
"Hopefully within the next week, she seems to be recovering well", the nurse informed her before leaving the room, Amy looked over at Ty and could tell he was exhausted.
"You should go home Ty", she told him as she put her baby back in the small crib.
"No, I'll stay", Ty replied.
"Ty, go, I'll be fine", Amy assured him and gave a slight smile.
Honestly, she wanted him to stay with her the whole time, she was scared, tired, lonely and sore and she just wanted Ty by her side. It was selfish of her though, to want that, she knew Ty needed to rest just as much as she did. Ty got up from his seat and gave Amy a peck on the cheek before he left, she suddenly realised how glad she was that her baby was nearby to keep her company, she didn't know what she would do if she was in here by herself.

Mallory urged the pony into a canter and headed towards the small obstacle, she had taken a recent interest in show jumping and so decided to practice on Sundance. The small buckskin pony pranced and nodded his head before smoothly gliding over the jump. The wind blew in Mallory's hair and she smiled. She was happy with her life for the moment, coming so close to moving to Nashville, she considered herself lucky that she was able to stay.
"That a boy!" She told the pony whilst patting his neck when she noticed someone by the gate that she hadn't seen in a long time. Badger.
