"You what?" Clint screamed at Ty in rage. Ty had gotten home and Clit had come running out of the house. "You didn't bring her home?"
"Yeah, she said she wanted to stay there and she hated me, never wanted to see me again" The words tore through both men's hearts.
"The Gang put her up to that! She didn't mean it!" Clint said forcibly. He didn't believe Amy would say that.
"No, I thought of that. She said this was her choice. Ty grumbled ad lifted the saddle off Goliath. He put him a stall and fed him. "Tried everything. She wanted to stay there"
"I can't believe it!" Clint said "but she loves us"
"Ya I thought that too, look like we were wrong" Ty said and grabbed his tuff. He stalked into the bunk house and Clint followed.
"You're sure!" He asked
"Yes! I heard it with my own ears and broke my heart!"Ty spun around and snapped at Clint. He stalked off and let Clint standing there. Clint walked sadly back to the house. My baby girl, what made you do this?
Amy walked down the boardwalk and into the saloon. She smiled and walked to the piano.
"Hey Babe" A deep, soothing male voice said. She turned around and looked up at Nick. He stood only an inch taller than her and had light hair and his shoulders were broad. He had been hitting on her ever since she got here.
"Hello Nick. How are you today?" she smiled and sat down. She took off her coat and set it down beside her.
"Better now that you're here. Why don't you let me take you over to the Rattlesnake for dinner? "Nick smiled at stood next to her. He took a lock of her hair and pulled it over her shoulder. Amy looked up at him
"Sorry Nick, can't do that, I work over dinner" Amy said. Nick moved behind her and Amy gritted her teeth together and stiffened.
"Take off, Baby" Nicks hands moved to cover her shoulders and he whispered in her ear "we can have ourselves some real nice fun" Amy clenched her fist and she felt his breath on her neck. She smiled sweetly and turned around to face him. She pulled up her gist and punched him in the jaw. Not expecting the sudden punch Nick feel backward and held his jaw. Amy got up and walked over to stand over him. She looked down at him with rock hard eyes.
"I've told you and every other guy in this Saloon that I am not here for you to play with. I am never going to even think of any other guy again! Back off!"Except my darling Ty, I will always think about him and Pa Then she kicked him in the gut and walked out. On her way past the bar she said "I'm taking my day off"
Ty was riding into town. He jumped off Goliath and tied him up. He walked into the Saloon. The smoke stung his eyes and he blinked. There were lots of men some gambling and others drinking. Ty walked over to the bar and got a whiskey; he found a table and sat down. A scantily dressed Saloon woman walked over to him and began flirting but Ty waved her off ignoring her. There's only one woman I want and she's living with my enemy. Ty sat there for the rest of the night drinking and thinking. Trying to forget Amy and pushed the pain out of his heart and they heaviness off his shoulders but nothing worked. Amy was burned into his mind and heart her final words to him echoed in his end time and time again, "I don't want to ever see you again Ty...I...I. I hate you!"The dagger stuck deep in his heart.
It was not until morning when Ty walked out of the saloon. He had a hangover but it wasn't mad. You couldn't tell. Ty walked past the Doctors office and Doc Garcon walked out smiling.
"How's the baby Ty? You two getting married soon? I bet it's going to be a big one huh?" Doc said smiling. Ty looked at him weird
"What baby? Who am I getting married to?" He asked titling his head to the side. Am I hearing things?
"Surely Amy has had the baby by now and you're going to get married?" Doc Garcon said furrowing his brow. "Did something happen to the baby?" Ty felt dizzy A baby? Oh God! That was what Amy was going to tell me! She was goin to have a baby! My baby!But what happened now? Did she have the baby? Ty stood there in shock, his mouth hanging open.
"Ty? What's wrong son?" Doc Garcon said.
"Amy was taken captive by The River Bend Gang about 3 and half months ago. I followed her but she didn't want to be rescued. She's living with them. I never knew about a baby "Ty forced out. Doc Garcon looked at Ty, his turn to gape.
"Amy?" He asked shocked
"Yeah," Ty said
"But I heard the Gang was just killed when they tried to rob a bank in Blue Valley." Doc Garcon said. "Where is Amy now?"
"I don't know Doc. I don't know about a baby" Ty shook his head and walked off. He walked back into the Saloon.
Amy lay in her bed and watched the setting sun. She had stayed here the whole day. Amy's life was going fine but it was filled with sorrow. She was making good money now from her tips. She was living good but still bought plain cheap dresses. She didn't want anyone t o make a connection. Amy had thought about her baby, he'd be 2 months old now. Amy wiped her eyes. Ty would be my husband and we would be living on the Ranch, making it bigger and better. Dad would have a grandson. Only if I hadn't been so stupid and selfish. Amy clutched the sheets around herself. She fell asleep to dream about the night Ty and she spent the day out in the canyon.
Ty stalked into the house. He looked for Clint and saw him washing dishes.
"Do you know about a baby Clint?"Ty leaned on the door frame. He had become more edgy and shot-tempered since Amy was not here. He never relaxed, ever.
"Who had a baby?" Clint smiled and looked up "Was it Madison Gingerly? It's about time"
"Amy was supposed to" Ty said and watched Clint blink and looked at him. Clint sucked in a breath
"W...what?" Clint gasped "My darling Amy having a...baby? She never told me!"
"Glad to see we are on the same page" Ty said and walked over to him "she was supposed to have my baby" Clint was not angry, he was happy.
"But she's with the Gang?"Clint said
"Yeah, a baby is not to be raised with outlaws. Amy never told me. When I saw her she didn't look pregnant, she must of had the baby and hid it from me. "Ty said sighing.
"This brings something else up. You and Jake will go after Amy. Take Amy by force if you have to and her baby. Bring them back here" Clint said running a hand through his hair.
"The Gang was killed tryin to rob a bank in Blue Valley. Amy is probably there. "Ty said smiling. It was a long time since he smiled.
"Then go there and bring my baby girl and my grand-baby back" Clint said. "Safely and quickly"
"Got it" Ty ran from the House to tell Jake. Within the hour they were riding out for Blue Valley. They would take the train to make it faster... You can't get by me now Amy. I want answers Ty thought.
Amy was playing in the Saloon a week later, it was very late and she was ready to go to her hotel and sleep. She played one last song, a love ballad and she sang to it.
Ty and Jake walked the dark streets of Blue Valley. They had gotten off the train an hour ago and decided to start searching right away.
"Let's see what we can find out in the Saloon." Jake said and he and Ty walked inside. Ty heard a woman singing and he blinked. He turned his head to the noise. She had her back to him but he could see the blond curls laying on a soft green plain dress. Something lurched in his heart and he listened to her. He elbowed Jake in the ribs. Ty nodded to the girl and Jake looked at her. The girl turned her head and Ty's fist clenched. What is she doing in a Saloon!He raged she's better than that! Jake grabbed Ty and they walked out of sight from Amy.
"This is how we are going to do this..." Jake whispered to Ty.
Amy was walking out of the saloon. She wrapped her cape around her and walked across the street. She across an alley and suddenly something grabbed her. A cloth was shoved over her mouth and she was hauled up against a man. The last thing she smelled was leather, horse smell with a tang of whiskey and smoke. It smells like Ty. Then she passed out.
Amy shifted and felt her bed under her. She kept her eyes closed thinking she was going to have to get up for a day at work. Then she remembered last night. She sucked in a breath and sat up quickly.
"Where's my baby Amy?" Ty said. He was sitting on a chair right next to her bed watching her. His arms and legs were crossed and he was scowling at her when all he wanted to do was scoop her up and kiss her to death. Amy yelped at jumped back on the bed. She hit the wall and stared at him.
"What baby?" Amy croaked after she got over the shock of him being here.
"Don't play dumb baby, Doc Garcon told me" Ty said trying so hard to keep a straight face. God she looks good. Her hair was shorter and she had filled out, she wasn't skin and bones now. She also didn't look as tired, the bruises were gone and so were the cuts.
"He... He told you?" Amy asked wanting to make sure.
"Ya he did, so where my baby? He or she is not here, I searched" Ty said to her and got up. Amy pressed herself up against the all" I'm not going to hurt you like those snakes. You heard me Amy, where's my baby!"
Amy looked up and blinked back tears. You have to tell him the truth. There's no other way. "Your baby is dead Ty. I killed him" she whispered, hanging her head
"What?" Ty was taken back. "It was a boy and you killed him!" he said outraged
"It was an accident! Ty I swear I would never kill our baby on purpose!" Amy begged. She was now crying.
"How did he die?" Ty asked softly. He sat on the edge of the bed and carefully drew Amy onto his lap. Amy fell against his chest and cried.
"I guess I wasn't eating enough and then I tried to escape and Rollins caught me. He threw my against a tree and my stomach hit it hard. He was dead when he was born. It's all my fault! If only hadn't tried to... "She managed to get out between sobs.
"Shh Amy. Rollins died too easy. It was not your fault but his that our baby died." He paused "do you really hate me Amy?" Ty asked softly. He looked down at her softly.
"No Ty, I love you. I thought you would be mad at me because of the baby. I didn't want to tell you" Amy said looking up at him. He looks so handsome. A voice told Amy.
"Good because I love you to Amy. I'm not mad honey. I'm sad that our baby died but that means we will have to get married and try again" Ty smiled down at her. Amy giggled and grinned.
"Married? Really Ty?" She said.
"Yes, I know it's not formal, I don't have a ring and it's not romantic but I want to spend the rest of my life with you Amy. Forever and always if you will have me" Ty smiled.
Amy grinned and hugged him "Yes Ty, I'll marry you!" Ty let out a whoop and picked her up. He swung her around and Amy laughed. Ty kissed her like he wished to do all those long lonely nights.
