If one more person tells me that Amy shouldn't have been riding while she was pregnant, I'm going to scream! I mean, I know crticism makes everyone better writers, but c'mon! I get it! But here's the thing: I had this story all planned out in my head and I guess I didn't take into consideration about the twin foals and Amy riding pregnant. I don't mean to take it out on anybody, but I just had to get that off of my chest. Wow, I feel much better now. Anyway, I hope I didn't scare anybody out of reading the rest of the story. Enjoy.

Chapter 21

"Amy, what are you talking about?" Ty asked walking back over to her.

"Think about it," Amy said. "The baby would be fine if I just did what the doctor told me to do."

"Amy, you did nothing to our child," Ty replied. "Dr. Stevens said this would have happened anyway, even if there was no accident."

Amy put her head in her hands. "I sure as hell helped," she retorted. "I was mad and upset at you and I wasn't thinking clearly and I..." She broke off as the tears that were building up in her eyes spilled down her face. Ty sat down on the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around her.

After about five minutes, Amy had more or less calmed down.

Ty looked down at her and asked,"Ready to go see our daughter?"

To Ty's surprise, Amy shook her head. "No, I can't see her just yet...but you go ahead," she said wiping the tears from her eyes.

Ty hesitated at first and then walked out of the room. He headed toward the Intensive Care Unit for Infants. She was in the second room on the right. Ty took a deep breath and pushed open the door. A nurse was in the room, she gave Ty a small smile before leaving father and daughter alone. Ty sat down in a chair next to the crib/box thing. (A/N: I don't know what it's called, forgive me.) There was an oxygen mask practically covering her whole face and tubes were attached everywhere. Ty slipped his hand through the opening and took the baby's tiny hand.

"Your mom couldn't be here, she says she can't see you," Ty said. "I don't believe her, she's stronger than she thinks...so are you."

Ty stroked his daughter's cheek.

"Daddy's here now and he's not going anywhere," Ty whispered.

Suddenly, the baby girl's eyes fluttered open. Her piercing green eyes stared up at Ty with such force, it made Ty's heart melt. The baby reached her hand up and grabbed ahold of his finger. She gave a smile that reached all the way up to her eyes. Ty smiled, it was hard not to. This was his daughter who had just smiled at him. Then, realizing what was on her face, she reached up with her other hand and tried to pull it off, while starting to cry. Ty put his other hand through another opening and the little girl immediately seized it. And once again, her face broke into a smile.

Things are going to be okay, Ty thought, smiling at his daughter.

A week and a half later--- Amy's POV

Amy walked down the hospital hallway to the Intensive Care Unit. Today was the day. Today was the day she was going to see her daughter for the first time. It may seem selfish that she hasn't even looked at her, but she just couldn't. She had only just accepted that it wasn't her fault. How would you feel, if your child was lying in the hospital after an accident that was your fault, or supposedly your fault. There was the room.

Amy took a deep breath and opened the door.

Ty had told her that the doctors said, their daughter's heart was beginning to function on its' own. She still had to stay in the hospital until the heart had no problems functioning. There she lay. In the small crib thing. Amy walked over and sat down in the chair next to her daughter. She still had the oxygen mask on, but a few of the tubes were taken out. Her chest was moving up and down as she slept peacefully. Amy reached her hand in the opening and took her daughter's hand.

"Mommy's here," she whispered as a tear escaped down her cheek.

Suddenly, the baby's eyes slowly opened. Amy gasped slightly. Her daughter's eyes were the same, if not brighter, green as her father's. The little girl turned her head slowly in Amy's direction. Her face broke out in a big smile, a smile to big for her small face, when she saw her mother, and grabbed her hand. Amy closed her eyes as tears began to fall. Why did she wait so long to see her daughter? She didn't know the answer, all she knew was that she was here now and she was never leaving her daughter again.

"Amy?"

Amy jumped at the sound of Ty's voice and turned around. She stood up, with tears still falling down her face. Ty held out his arms and she fell into them, sobbing into his chest.

"I'm glad your here," Ty said.

"I can't believe I waited this long to see her," Amy replied, pulling back and wiping the tears away.

"It's okay, you just needed time," Ty told her.

"It doesn't feel okay," Amy whispered, looking down at the floor.

Ty lifted her chin and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I wanted to give this to you earlier," Ty said as he took something out of his pocket. It was a small black velvet box. Amy stared at it and then at Ty. He opened the box and there sat a beautiful diamond ring.

"Amy, will you marry me?"

Amy stared at the ring and then at Ty's loving face, tears blurring her vision. She nodded, "Yes, I will marry you,"

Ty smiled and slid the ring onto Amy's left hand, she held out for him. They smiled at each other and then their lips met in a deep loving kiss. They were interrupted by a small giggle. They turned to see their daughter looking at them, smiling and laughing. Their daughter. And soon they would all be one big happy family.

How was it? You'll find out the baby's name in the next chapter, just so you'll know. Review.
