Sorry, this chapter took so long, but I've been having computer problems. But don't worry my computer is all better now and plan to update this story until it ends. So have no fear chapter 11 is here!

Chapter 11

"We need you, Amy," Ali continued. "Please don't let us down!"

"Okay, I'll be there," Amy stammered, still processing what Ali just said.

"Thanks Amy," Ali said and with that the girl hung up. Amy stared at the phone for a long while, thinking of Karma. What could be so wrong that Ali had to call her at Heartland. Then Amy remembered what the girl had said, she was pacing her stall and kept looking at her flanks. Suddenly, Amy became aware of Ty standing behind her. She turned around.

"What's wrong?" Ty asked, seeing her face.

"It's Karma...they need me...I have to go," was all Amy could get out before running upstairs. In her room, she grabbed her half-filled suitcase and tossed last remaining things inside, then zipping it up as she went, she turned to leave only to bump into Ty.

Ty took ahold of her shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Amy, what's wrong?"

"They don't know, they can't get near Karma, I'm the only who's worked with her, so she's used to me more and I really have to go." Amy explained, when she finished Amy pushed past him and started for the stairs.

"Amy, wait!" Ty called after her.

"I have to go," Amy simply said.

Ty grabbed her arm, "I know, just let me drive you,"

"Okay," Amy said, not wanting to agrue.

Five minutes later, they both in Ty's truck backing down the Heartland driveway. Amy's mind was spinning with questions. What was wrong? What if she was colicing? Oh, she couldn't bear to face that again. Amy put her head in her hands, trying to calm herself. She took deep breaths to calm down. Was this what it felt like to have a panic attack? Ty saw her and leaned over and opened the glove compartment. He took out a small, brown bottle and handed it to her.

"Rescue remedy, it's not just for horses, put four drops under your tongue," Ty whispered. Amy did what he said and then leaned her head against the window. She sighed, things were going all wrong. Everything was supposed to be fine before she got back. Amy turned her head to look at Ty. She smiled, everything about him made her feel like the luckliest girl on earth. Ty turned, when he felt her staring and reached for her hand.

"Everything's going to be okay," he said. Amy nodded, hoping that he was right.

It had begun to rain as they drove up the drive leading up Chestnut Hill. Before he had even come to a complete stop, Amy was jumping out of the truck and running to the barn. When she entered she saw a small crowd near the other end of the barn. Amy swallowed hard, her heart pounding, and started walking toward the group. Hearing her footsteps, Ali turned from the stall and practically ran to Amy.

"Amy, thank god, you got here," Ali said, once she reached her.

"What's wrong?" Amy asked automatically.

"We don't know, but I think she's gotten worse," Ali answered. "We called the vet, their on their way." Amy nodded. Then she stepped forward and walked toward the stall. When she looked in the stall her heart nearly dropped. The once calm, gentle mare was standing in the back of her stall, eyes wide with fear, breathing heavy, and her coat was lathered in sweat.

Slowly and quietly, Amy slid back the bolt on the stall door and stepped in. Karma's head snapped up, nostrils flaring. Amy stopped and looked down. It took a few minutes, but soon Karma lowered her head and stepped toward Amy, remembering her as a friend. Amy reached up and wrapped her arms around the mare's neck.

"It's okay girl, I'm here now," Amy whispered to the mare. "Everything's going to be okay." The mare snorted, as if she understood what Amy was saying to her. Suddenly, the chestnut mare snorted again and backed away from Amy. Amy stared at her wondering what could be wrong. That was when Karma sank down into the straw and let a loud whinny of pain. That was when Amy recognized the signs.

"Ali, I think Karma's having a foal,"

Well, there it is. I hope you liked. Please review!
