"I can't believe you kicked me out," Caleb huffed, grabbing his duffel bag from the back of Ty's truck while Ty grabbed another and the two men hauled them up to the loft.

"I'm sorry, man. But it's like you said, we're going to have another person in the trailer in a few months. There's just not enough room for us all." Ty dropped the bag at the foot of the bed. It had been a couple days since he officially had "the talk" with Caleb, and then with Amy that resulted in them finally clearing up the whole abortion issue that turned into a non-issue. While things were now better between them, they weren't completely back to normal with Tim still on their case about it, but they'd pretty much taken to avoiding him at this point, just to save themselves the headache.

"Yeah, a few months. You couldn't have let me stay until then?" Caleb went over to the door that overlooked the pond and pushed it open to let the sunlight filter in. "It's still my trailer after all. I mean, I'm still your landlord. I could have you evicted and make you live here in the loft."

"Come on, man. You wouldn't do that to Amy."

"Alright, fine. Then you can come back to the loft and I'll stay and live with Amy. Don't worry, she'll be in good hands." Caleb grinned, dodging Ty's punch to his shoulder. "Seriously, though, you're really going to bring a baby into that crappy trailer? Amy's okay with that?"

Ty sighed. "Well, we really don't have much choice right now. Finding a bigger place just doesn't seem to be working out for us and Amy doesn't want to move into town and be so far from Heartland."

"She's not going to still be working with those horses, though, is she?"

"We talked about it… sort of. Even though I'm not thrilled with the idea, we agreed that she would for as long as she was comfortable, but I made her promise to always have someone here, just in case, and not to over-exert herself."

Caleb just shook his head. "I doubt very much she's going to stick to that agreement."

Ty shrugged, "Well, that's about all I could get out of her for the time being. I don't think it'll stick either but I'm willing to honor it until I need to step in and put my foot down."

"Well, good luck with that. Your wife is stubborn as a mule, she'll find loopholes. She always does."

"Yeah, well, we'll just take it as it comes I suppose." Ty sighed and looked around at the old loft space. It hadn't been used in a couple years and was covered in a fine layer of dust and plenty of cobwebs, but it still looked the same as he'd always remembered it. "Feels weird being up here again, doesn't it?"

Caleb looked around as well, reaching down to give the footboard of the bed a shake. "Yeah. This old place has seen quite a bit, and heard quite a bit more. Hell, if these walls could talk we'd have to burn the barn down."

Ty chuckled, heading back for the door. "It's a good thing they can't."


Amy stood in front of the mirror in the trailer, sucking her gut in and trying to button her jeans, which was successful but left her feeling as if she was being suffocated. Scared she was squishing the baby, she quickly undid them, her eyes lowering on the glass to her abdomen. She ran her hand over her stomach and the baby that lay within. She really didn't look any different, but Amy could feel the changes her body was going through aside from the morning sickness and just being tired all of the time. Her waist was thickening, that much was obvious from the way her jeans were tighter than they used to be and she could feel how much firmer the lower part of her belly was. It was still almost surreal to her to know that she was pregnant, but the sonogram she and Ty set up an appointment for in Calgary would probably change all of that. Amy had never been more excited than when she got off the phone with the clinic with a confirmed date to see their child for the first time. Of course, it probably wouldn't look like much more than a glitch on the screen, but it wouldn't matter. It would be their little glitch.

"Knock, knock." Lou pulled open the trailer door and poked her head in, causing Amy to snap out of her reverie and move around the trailer to find a new pair of pants that would be looser around her waist.

"Hey Lou, what's up? Come in."

Lou stepped into the trailer, pulling the door shut behind her and taking a look around. "I was just seeing how you were. Ty's at the ranch with Caleb, I was just wondering…"

Amy smiled at her sister, digging through the tiny closet. "We're fine, Lou. He's just helping Caleb move his stuff over before he heads to the clinic. It just made more sense for us to drive separately. Plus, I wasn't ready by the time he needed to leave, so." Pulling out a pair of pants, Amy tossed them onto the bed and closed the door so she could change.

"Oh. Okay, well that's good. I just haven't heard anything more about the other night at dinner and what happened after. We heard you and Ty arguing."

Amy looked up at her sister, feeling guilty for withholding all that happened between her and Ty after they'd all split from the dinner table. Normally, Lou would have been the first person Amy went to for advice about what to do about all of it, but she hadn't wanted to admit what had briefly run through her mind. Still, Caleb heard enough about it from Ty; it surprised Amy that he hadn't gone and blabbed. "It was just…hormones. You know how that is. We're fine though, promise."

Lou was nodding, crossing over to the table and sitting in the recliner. "Boy do I ever. I certainly don't miss those days. The sensitivity to everything, restless nights, never being able to get comfortable, and don't even get my started on the itching! It literally felt like my skin was crawling."

Amy paused, turning to stare at her sister. "Thanks, Lou. Glad to know what I have to look forward to," she said with sarcasm, pulling the new jeans up over her waist and making a second attempt at buttoning them. They fit better than the other ones, but even though they were still a little snug, at least they were more bearable.

"So, have you and Ty made that ultrasound appointment yet?" Lou asked.

Amy nodded, moving around Lou to get her boots and sitting in the seat at the other side of the table to put them on. "Yep," was all Amy replied, knowing Lou wasn't asking just for conversation.

Lou watched her sister for a moment, expecting a more elaborate answer, realizing then she should have worded her question differently. "Well. When is it?"

"You're not coming, Lou."

"Who said I wanted to come? I was just asking when we could expect to see those pictures." There was a pause when Amy shot her big sister a look that said she knew otherwise. "Okay, so maybe I want to come. But so what, why can't I?"

"Because… I just want it to be me and Ty. I never went to your ultrasound with Katie."

"You never asked."

"That's because I respected that it as a special day for you and Peter. And it's going to be special for me and Ty as well. I just want it to be…"

"Special?"

Amy shot Lou another look. "I promise we will come straight to Heartland as soon as we're finished to show you the pictures. Okay? Besides, it's not like there's going to be much to see. I mean, it's not going to look like much of anything right now, right?"

"No, but that's not the point. My baby sister is having a baby, I just want to be as much as part of it as I can be." Lou sat in the chair with a small pucker to her lower lip as she pouted at her sister for being denied permission to come along. "You promise I get to be the first to see those pictures?"

Shaking her head Amy stood and went to grab her sweater from the hook. "Yes, Lou. I promise."

"And I get to be in the delivery room too, right? Cause you were there when Katie was born. It's only fair." Lou jumped up to follow Amy outside, Amy sending a bit of a weirded out look over her shoulder.

"Uh, yeah, that's because you gave birth to Katie in the house and no one else was around. I still have nightmares about that day." Amy grabbed the truck handle and yanked the door open, Lou reaching out to grab it as Amy climbed in to keep her from closing it on her.

"Come on, Amy. I want to be there when my niece or nephew is born. Please?"

Sighing, Amy dropped her hands on the steering wheel and shook her head, looking at Lou with a little smile. "We'll see. Okay? There's still a long time before now and then." Reaching out Amy yanked the door from Lou's grasp to close it as she started the truck and started reversing onto the road.

Lou stepped back to keep from getting her toes run over as she watched Amy leave. "Wait! When's your appointment?!" She called after her, raising her arm to try and get her sister's attention, but Amy either didn't hear or ignored her as she backed onto the road and headed to the ranch. Lou lowered her arm back down and huffed, kicking at the gravel with her boot before turning to hop back in her own truck to follow Amy back to Heartland for further interrogation.
