Chapter 25 - A Small Miracle - A Small Miracle
As the laughing trio walked into the house they were greeted by Nancy. "Any news on... Ty! Hello! Ben and Soraya told me where you went, don't worry." She chuckled. "Any thing going on with the horses?" She asked Ben.
"Rupert's ready to go home." Ben and Ty said together. Nancy raised an eyebrow at Soraya.
"Okay then, do you want to contact the Monaghan's'?" Nancy asked Ty. "They should be in around now, it's about half one?"
"Twenty to two actually." Ty said, checking his watch. "But yeah, I'll go do it now." He walked out to the hallway to make the call.
"Okay, what happened?" Nancy whispered, winking. They could hear Ty in the hallway, punching in the phone number.
"He hasn't said what he did, but I know he told her!" Soraya hissed quickly, grinning madly. Nancy nodded, and began to speak but Ty walked back into the room.
"They're coming to pick him up tomorrow. The same day Amy comes home!" He smiled, gesturing wide with his arms.
The three in the room smiled and Nancy turned to the stove.
"Let's get tea on the go!"
"Today was great!" Ben yawned at Soraya as they left Heartland. "I'm glad I came to visit them all again. I forgot how much I loved it here." He said, wrapping an arm around Soraya as they walked to their cars.
"I know!" She smiled back at him. "It's only ten to five, but I'm knackered. I can't be bothered with the drive home but I know I have to go..." She paused to yawn, turning her head into Ben's shoulder.
"Hey, you don't have to. We'll come back here tomorrow right? So come home with me, you can stay the night and drive home later tomorrow!" He grinned at her.
Stretching up, Soraya gently brushed her lips against Ben's. "I'd love to." She whispered, before pressing her lips to his again, putting her arms around his neck.
Amy yawned, she was so bored without Ty! Thank god it was only going to be a couple of days until she was out! The cast had come off her leg today, and she just had a brace on it instead. Her arm was just in a sling across her broken ribs so she wouldn't damage them. God, she sighed to herself, I'm a mess! I hope Sundance is okay! I forgot to ask, oh how nice am I! Amy thought to herself.
"Hello there!" Hope called to Amy as she began to walk towards her bed.
"Hey Hope." Amy said, smiling.
"You're going home tomorrow." Hope said airily, dusting Amy's bed sheets down. "Back to your horses... And your Ty."
"Tomorrow!" She cried. "Finally! I've been longing to have a walk in the fresh air, see all the ponies, properly talk to all my friends... But I'm going to miss you, Hope." Amy added sadly. The Irish nurse was one of her only friends on the ward.
"I'll miss you too Amy, but don't think about me, think about the future you'll have! With Ty, and within Heartland, and your veterinary course. You'll go far Amy. Good luck!" She smiled at her, before walking away down the ward. Amy smiled to herself. She would be home tomorrow. She leaned back into her cool pillow and closed her eyes.
The next day was hectic at Heartland, preparing for Amy. Ty was in a flap about something, and Ben and Soraya walked in late together.
"I know we said we'd be here for half 12..." Ben said, running a hand through his hair and looking at the wall clock.
"Don't worry about it." Ty shrugged it off. "Jack has just gone to get Amy, they'll be back in..." He paused to look at his watch. "20 minutes? And Rupert's owners will be here in- 10!" He stood up hurriedly, almost knocking his chair over. Ben stood up and pulled a face at Soraya.
"I don't know." He laughed, before darting after him.
They reached the barn together, and stepped inside. Rupert snorted and pushed his head over the stable door. A big clump of mud was hanging from his forelock.
"Great!" Ty sighed and turned to Ben. "C'mon, we need to get this pony clean. We turned him out last night."
In ten minutes, a car and trailer pulled up in the driveway. Soraya walked out to meet them.
"Hello, I'm Soraya. I expect you spoke to Ty or Amy on the phone, but I'm here to greet you and show you to Rupert." She said brightly, smiling and offering her hand out to the couple who stopped from the car. They smiled back, and followed Soraya into the barn.
"Hello boy!" Chloe Monaghan called to Rupert, who was falling asleep under her touch. Ben was picking out his final back hoof, while her dad watched in awe.
"Chloe loves what you do here; and Rupert is sorted, all in a few days!" He said, running his fingers through the pony's mane.
Ty smiled. "That's our aim! Let's get him out and loaded so you can get him home." He said, clipping the head collar into place and leading the Welsh D out of his stall.
Within minutes of saying goodbye to the Monaghan's, Jack's car pulled into the yard. Soraya slid closer to Ben, and he wound his arm around her. She smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder. Ty watched them, and felt awkward without Amy.
Jack got out of the car, and Ty's heart flipped. He stepped forwards, and Jack helped Amy out of the car. She stood up gingerly, and smiled. Then she turned to face Ty, and her whole face lit up. If she had been able to run, she would've. As it was, she called his name, and hobbled over to him. Ty jogged over to her and quickly encased her in his arms. Tears began to spurt down Amy's face as she pressed herself closer to Ty.
"It's so good to be home!" She said through her tears.
"It's good to have you home." Ty said, leaning forwards to kiss the top of her head. He broke the embrace and took her hand.
"C'mon, let's go inside." He said softly.
"Wait. Soraya!" Amy called, as Soraya began to walk towards her, leaving Ben standing alone. He quickly caught up.
"Feeling better?" Soraya asked.
"Much better!" Amy laughed joyfully. She watched as Ben slipped his arm around Soraya's waist.
"You did it!" Amy cried to Ben. He just smiled. "Everything worked out!" Amy said to Ty.
He nodded, smiling. "It's a small miracle."
