When Ty walks over to Amy and Dani, he sits down next to them while waiting for the boss to call Children Services. The boss charged Ashley and striped her rights over Dani.

"What's going on?" Dani asks from Amy's arms watching Ashley leave.

"Ashley's rights over you are gone. She's not your foster mom anymore." Ty informs Dani and Amy.

"That is great news." Amy smiles, "What's going on now that have us waiting?"

"Children Services are being called. I signed papers to become Dani's guardian. We just have to wait for it to be passed through."

"Why didn't they do that for me?"

"I told him we are already together and engaged. He wants only me on there in case if something happens causing us to break up."

"That makes sense." Amy nods understanding, "So we are waiting for the approval."

"Yes."

Hours pass before the background check is approved and Ty has his interview with Children Services. The man was very forceful and intimidating, but Ty knew if he wanted Dani he would have to be open and ready. Ready to be a parent.

"For now, we will have you as fostering. Then when you and Danielle are comfortable with each other, you may move to adoption." The man informs Ty.

"So I could take her home?" Ty questions, double checking.

"Yes." Seeing Ty's smile, the man can't help but smile back, "So your fiancée will be helping you along with her family?"

"Yes they will be, hopefully they will accept Dani. But Amy and I would both face the world if it's to have Dani in our lives. She's a fighter and incredibly bright."

"I can tell that from just seeing her. Shall we go and tell your fiancée and Danielle?"

"Sounds good to me." Ty nods agreeing.

Walking out of the interview room together, Ty leads the man over to Amy and Dani.

"Amy, Dani, we have news." Ty informs them, making Dani hold onto Amy tighter.

Suddenly the man smiles, "Congratulations, Danielle. Meet your new foster dad. Ty Borden."

Squealing, Dani lets Amy go before jumping into Ty's arms, with her arms around his neck. Holding Dani up, Ty chuckles hugging her back.

"I'll let you go. Remember, Ty, we will come and check up on Dani in a few months. To see how she is doing and ask her questions."

"I'll keep that in mind." Ty nods, "Goodbye, Sir."

"Goodbye, Ty. And good luck." Leaving the police station, Ty and Amy head out to the truck. Once they are all in and buckled up, Dani is happy and relaxed. Arriving back to Heartland, it's now lunch time. They have been gone for four and a half hours, so three hours at the police station.

Walking into the house and helping Dani out of her snowsuit, Dani smiles staying close to Amy and Ty.

"Hello, Ty, Amy." Jack greets a little ticked off.

"Hey, Grandpa." Amy smiles, "Guess what!"

"What?"

"Ty is a foster dad." Seeing Jack's surprised look Amy continues, "Dani's foster dad to be exact."

"What?" Jack whispers before looking at Ty and Dani, "She should have a real family, with both parents, not one."

"When Ty and I are ready to marry, she'll have me."

"No, Amy. You are too young."

"I don't care, Grandpa. Dani needs us. If you don't like it, then keep quiet and keep your opinions to yourself."

Taking Dani and Ty to her bedroom, Amy sits on her bed with her head in her hands.

"Are you okay, Amy?" Dani asks softly kneeling down before her.

"I'll be fine, Dani." Amy looks at the young girl with a small smile, "Are you?" Dani shrugs.

"I have you and Ty, I'll be okay." Dani admits.

"Good. What would you like to do?"

"I don't know." Dani whispers shyly.

"Let's watch a movie." Ty suggests.

"Can we watch Star Wars?" Dani asks.

"Of course! I love those movies." Ty smiles widely.

"I still don't understand them. It's just a bunch of guys fighting over ships." Amy sighs.

Ty and Dani stare at her with mouths wide open.

"You ruined it for me!" Dani whines to only lay her head on Amy's lap. Picking Dani up, Dani squeals making Amy and Ty laugh.

Starting to tickle Dani, Ty carefully lays Dani on the bed next to Amy. Tickling Dani's stomach, Dani squirms and rolls side to side laughing. Stopping to let Dani catch her breath, Dani pants laying there.

"Ready for the first movie?" Ty grins making Dani giggle and Amy to chuckle.

"Go ahead." Amy agrees, "Don't be surprised if I fall asleep."

"Deal." Jumping up and down clapping his hands, Dani bursts out laughing at her foster dad, "What's so funny?"

"You." Dani answers bluntly.

"Oh really?" Ty grins, "Do you want to meet the tickle monster again?"

Shaking her head, Dani watches Ty put the movie in before climbing onto the bed. Not knowing what to do, Dani just lays in her spot still.

"Are you comfortable there, Dani?" Amy asks from the headboard with Ty.

"Don't you want to have a time by yourselves?" Dani questions shyly. Looking down, Dani feels the bed move.

"Dani, look at me, please." Looking at Amy, who is now in front of her, Amy kisses Dani's forehead, "We are a family now. Sure, Ty and I may want alone time once in a while, but you come first. Come cuddle with us."

"Are you sure?" Noticing Dani's eyes get tears in them, Amy pulls Dani into a hug.

"I'm positive." Watching the interaction, Ty smiles. Once the hug breaks, Amy moves back against the headboard with Dani crawling up to them.

"Where do I go?" Dani whispers as the movie begins.

"Right here. Between us." Ty suggests looking at Amy who nods with a smile. Getting comfortable, Dani rests her head on Amy's chest staring at the TV.

Around halfway through the movie, Amy is fast asleep with Ty wide awake and Dani is hooked.

As the movie comes to a close, Dani is fast asleep; she missed the last ten minutes. Ty chuckles to himself as he turns off the movie and TV. He's going to make a Star Wars fan out of Dani at some point. At least she watched most of it and gave it a chance.

Lying down on the bed with his family, Ty smiles stroking Dani's hair. He couldn't believe that Dani is officially in his care. They are family. Ty just hopes he won't mess up.

"What are you thinking about?" Ty snaps out of his thoughts, hearing Amy voice.

"When did you wake up?" Ty counters nervously.

"A few minutes ago. You looked far out there."

"Sorry."

"Ty, what is going on?"

"What if I mess up? Being Dani's foster dad. I mean."

"Ty, you won't. I'm sure Dani feels like she will mess up and anything will happen to her."

"I know." Ty sighs.

"Ty, you have me to help. Dani is a great kid. Besides, Georgie will help by keeping Dani a kid and worry free." Amy smiles sadly, "I'm scared too, Ty."

Hearing Dani yawn, Ty and Amy look to her to see her rubbing her eyes.

"You both worry too much." Dani comments slowly sitting up, "Besides, if they took me I would find my way back here."

"You admit you would run away to come back here?" Amy asks is surprise.

"I like you both. I feel safe for the first time in my life."

"Come here, Dani." Ty opens his arms. The second Dani is hugging him, Ty holds her close.

"Dani! Lou! Peter! Katie!" They hear Georgie call out. Feeling Dani jump at the shouting from Georgie, Dani closes her eyes to calm down.

"Hey, Georgie how was school?" They hear Lou's voice.

"Are you okay?" Amy whispers to Dani as Ty holds her tighter to silently let her know they are there for her.

Watching Dani nod, she takes a few calming breaths, before speaking.

"Georgie just scared me." Dani admits, "I'll be fine."

"You sure?" Ty asks.

"It will take a while."

"Would you like to see the horses?" Amy offers. At her offer, Dani smiles and nods excitedly.

Leaving Amy's room, Dani, Amy and Ty head to the kitchen to get a few carrots.

"Hey, Dani." Georgie smiles seeing her little sister.

"Hey." Dani speaks softly looking at her.

"Why weren't you at school? I was looking for you to introduce you to my friends."

"I was there, but things happened."

"Like what?" Seeing Dani look down, Lou could tell that Dani is scared.

"Georgie, go do your homework." Lou speaks to her adopted daughter.

"But mom, I want to be with Dani." Georgie whines.

"Georgie, Dani will be here. Let her get used to being here."

"Whatever. You hate her, I know that. Why the hell do you hate my little sister?"

"Georgie," Lou starts. Hearing a whimper, they turn to Dani who is hiding in Amy's arms with her ears covered. Ty has boxed them in the corner, having him as the barrier.

"Dani," Georgie whispers walking over, "What happened to you?"

"Georgie, please step back." Ty orders. Georgie doesn't move.

"Georgie, come over here." Lou speaks up softly. Doing what Lou has said, Ty slowly turns to Dani who squeezes through the gap and bolts. Tackling her sister to the floor, Georgie pins her down knowing what Dani is thinking.

"Georgie!" Amy gasps hurrying over.

"Dani, you are safe." Georgie speaks in a hard voice.

"Let me go, let me go, let me go." Dani begs crying and choking on air.

"No! Not again."

Hearing her sister sob, Georgie gets lifted off Dani, making Dani get up and bolt outside in sock feet and a t-shirt.

"Dani!" Amy shouts running onto the front porch, "Ty, hurry up." Amy orders before running through the snow, following Dani's tiny footprints.

Ty runs faster than he ever had in his life. Thankfully he got to Dani before reaching the main road.

He grabs her around the waist but that only caused her to struggle more, "Let me go! Let me go! HELP! HELP! HELP!" She screams.

"Shh." Ty soothed in her ear, "Shh you're safe. You're safe. It's me… Daddy… daddy is here baby girl. Daddy has got you. You're safe. Daddy has you."

Dani stopped struggling and turned into Ty's arms and cried into his chest, "Why does Lou hate me so much? What did I ever do to her?"

Ty sighs, "Because you are new. When I first came to Heartland she hated me too. It's going to take time before she can accept you. Don't run away anymore, though. If you're scared or upset you come find me and I don't care what I'm doing or what time of day it is I will be there for. Do you understand that? I will always be there for you."

Dani nods but doesn't speak.

"Trust me when I say running away only makes the problems worse."

"How do you know?" Dani whispered looking into his eyes.

"I've run before too. I used to run a lot. When I would get scared or upset I would just run away and start over. 99% of the time I was caught and taken right back to where I was supposed to be. I've even run from Heartland a few times. But it only made things worse for me."

"Oh."

"Dani, I'm an orphan too. My father is dead, step-father was a jerk, and mother is…well she's getting the help she needs but I wouldn't say we are close or anything. Heartland helped me find love and learn to love. It wasn't easy but I promise it will be worth it in the end."

"Thank you… Daddy."

Ty smiles, tears filled his eyes.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!" Dani panics, "I won't ever call you that…"

"Dani, Dani, no, Baby girl, no, stop. Take a breath." Ty said.

Dani stopped ranting and exhaled a deep breath.

"That's better. Sweetie, you didn't make me cry. I have these tears in my eyes because you have just made me so happy by calling me 'daddy'. That makes me so happy."

Dani smiles, "Really?"

"Of course."

Dani smiles, "Good. Daddy."

Ty chuckled. He had a good feeling he would be hearing it a lot more now.
