"No way! Not happening!" Jack shouted his hands on his hips as he marched around the kitchen. Amy sat at the table watching him nervously. "You know how dangerous that is? Why on earth did you agree to horse racing?" He stopped pacing and faced her.
Amy swallowed hard. "I think racing might be fun."
"What happened to show jumping?"
"I haven't been show jumping in 2 years." She defended.
"Fine then cross country? You liked that last year when you helped Lisa with her fundraiser." He sat down across from her.
"That's technically racing too."
"It's not as dangerous." He folded his arms.
"I also fell off Spartan last year when he was spooked by a bear. Remember? That was just a trail ride." Amy shouted. back. "I'm doing it for Dad. Okay?"
Jack raised his eyebrow. "Of course. Why am I not surprised?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you do whatever he wants. You'll always trying to make him happy. Is being a jockey really something you wanna do?"
She sighed. "It's Dad's race horse. He bought him. Says he's going to the racing business."
Jack slammed the table as he stood up. "With his track record?!"
Amy jumped. "Grandpa?!"
"You've been lying to me. That horse out there in the paddock is your father's?" He pointed out toward the window. Amy nodded. Jack shook his head and left out the back door.
Amy slumped back down in the chair she had been sitting in. Lisa came into the room and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Just give him time, sweetheart."

Jack entered the barn to find Ty as he came down the loft stairs. "Hey, Jack."
"Hey..." He stopped and turned back to Ty. "You know anything about that horse?"
Ty turned around to see where he was pointing. "Oh the new client horse? No. Why?" Jack raised his eyebrow at him. "I know Tim dropped him off early in the week."
"Nothing else?" He pressed.
"He's a race horse, I think." Ty wasn't understanding why Jack seemed so upset.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I muck out the stalls. That's my job, right? Besides it's not like Amy's gonna volunteer information."
"He's Tim's race horse. Apparently Amy's agreed to ride him." Jack said walking closer to the door watching the dark grey horse.
"Wow! That's cool." Ty's smile faded as Jack glared at him.
"He looks like a lot of horse for her. Not to mention she's never raced before. And when it comes to Tim she feels the need to impress him." He turned to face Ty. "I heard you were quite the hero last week." Ty shrugged. "Caleb tells me you came to her rescue." He eyed Ty.
"Nothing happened, Jack. She fell off."
"That's not what he said." He watched him.
Ty laughed. "He's all bent out of shape cause I helped her up? Seriously?! As if Amy is that easy to steal away from him." He started to walk back up the loft stairs slightly disgusted. "You know you told me 5 years ago to stay away from your granddaughters. I did. And look what it got me?" He said turning back to Jack. "She so in love with that cowboy that I'm the last think on her mind. Maybe it's Amy you need to be talking to if Caleb is so jealous of me." Ty shouted before running the stairs and slamming the door.

Lou set the casserole dish in the middle of their glass table. She smiled at Peter as he handed their son his plastic spoon a huge grin on his face. Fatherhood looked good on him. She had been nervous to tell him she was pregnant afraid he wouldn't stand beside her. His career was the most important thing in his life. But he been surprisingly happy. Saying he wanted the whole package. Marriage, kids, etc. Admitting he was planning a trip to Paris to propose to her. She smiled wider as Peter scooped up a noodle and was pretending the spoon was a airplane. Jackson giggled. Peter looked up to notice Lou was starring. "What?"
"Nothing." She smiled. "I just love you."
"I love you too." He reached for her hand as Lou dished the tuna noodle casserole onto both their plates. "What?" He asked again as he caught her starring at their son.
"Nothing. Really." She eat a fork full of salad.
"You're thinking about home, aren't you?" He smiled at her.
"This is my home."
"You know what I mean." He grabbed her hand.
"Yeah. I mean. Sure, I'd love to pick up and go for the week but we both know I can't do that." She sighed.
"Why not?"
"Peter?!" She said poking her fork at her food.
"I'm serious. Honey, why not?" She glanced back at him. "You said it yourself you miss Amy. So why not? Next week would be perfect. You can take Jackson to meet everyone." He tickled Jackson's stomach.
"In some other's universe. Yes! But with my father. No." She frowned. "I'm not gonna let him treat our son the way he treated me."
"You don't know that he'll be mad."
"You honestly don't know my family. Grandpa is still mad at Dad for abandoning us. And my Dad can hold a grunge like it's a rodeo event." Lou stood up and walked around the table grabbing Jackson from his highchair.
"What about the baby?" Peter asked causing Lou to stop cold.
"You know what at this point I don't see why we can't keep it a secret. I mean the only person I'm even remotely excited to tell is Amy."
"So go. Tell Amy." He stood up smiling at her.
"I think everyone might figure it out." She pointed to her baby bump. "I'll tell Amy on the phone...after he or she is born." She walked away to put Jackson down for a nap leaving Peter standing there shocked.

Tim stood along the gate watching Amy as she exercised his race horse. As Amy darted past him he checked his stop watch.
"Whoa, boy." Amy soothed as she slowed and headed back toward the fence. "His was that?" She asked smiling as she approached where Tim was standing.
"Not bad." He said looking up. He showed her the time. "He should be doing it better by now." He sighed.
"Dad, we can't push."
He nodded. "Too slow isn't gonna win me any ribbons, Amy." He turned to watch the next rider take off at the starting gate. "Now that's a winner." Amy turned the horse again to get a better look. She frowned. She was no way up to that level yet. And glancing back at her Dad's expression maybe Jack had been right.

Amy jumped out of Tim's truck as he let her off at the barn. "I wanna practice some more tomorrow. I'll be here early. Okay?" He asked her as she nodded. Jack came out the barn looking disgusted. Amy didn't say anything she just beelined it to the horse.
"Jack?" Tim said.
"Using your own daughter for your little scheme isn't right and you know it."
"Jack, Amy's got every right to do what ever she wants. She's 20 years old." Tim defends.
"Thing is I don't think this is something she wants to do. She's trying to make yiy happy. And she won't say no to you cause she's afraid you'll..."
Tim cut him off. "Your just worked up over it cause I'm the one she's working for. Any other client you'd keep your nose out of it like always."
"That's not true. I'd be acting the same if Caleb suggested it." He folded his arms. "No, you just can't stand her working with me. You've never liked our bond."
"It's not a bond when she's scared you'll just up and disaster if she disagrees with you. Or that you'll treat her like Lou."
"That's not true. And you know it. And don't bring Lou into this." He shouted back.
"What about Shane? You're back and forth trying to make two relationships work when both kids are getting the short end of the stick."
Tim glared. "Amy might be partly your business but Shane. That is none of your business." Jack glared back. "I still haven't ran it by Amy but I want Shane to spend the summer."
"Well, that's a start. But as far as Amy is concerned I have everything right to put a stop to this. You start by easing up a bit on the training. She can't keep up on her usual chores."
"Isn't that what Ty's for?" Tim laughed and backed out the driveway.

Amy sat at a table cheering Caleb on as he played pool with a few other cowboys. Ty walked up to the bar seeing them. "Beer please." He said paying attention to Amy.
A few screamed as Caleb got the ball in on a bank shot. "That's my good luck charm." He said as he leaned in and kissed her. Amy giggled causing Ty to realize both were a bit drunk.
"Thanks, baby." She said grabbing his glass from him and drinking the last of it. Amy didn't seem the type to drink. He even could have sworn she mentioned about not wanting to cause of her Dad's addiction problem. But there she was wrapped around Caleb while he showed her how to shoot a combo. It was gross. He hated that Hudson only had one bar. He really didn't wanna spend his Friday night watching them. He decided to finish his one beer and head home. But a drink cowboy had other plans.
"Hey...you?" He pointed. "You play?"
"Some." He lied. Not leading on that he was kinda a pool shark.
"Great. I need a partner. This guy over here thinks he can beat me." Ty got off the bar stool to come face to face with Amy and Caleb.
"Ty?" She said surprised.
"You know him? Even better. It'll be so much more fun to steal that diamond ring."
Amy swallowed hard as she touched it. "Caleb?" She turned to face him as he set up the balls.
"Don't worry. I'm real good at this." He answered before giving his partner a high five.
"Come on, man. Let's beat them. When we pawn that thing we'll split the cash 50/50." He patted Ty on the back.
Amy bit her lip still unsure of this bet.
"How much do you think engagement rings are worth?" The cowboy asked as he handed Ty a stick.
Amy looked horrified at Ty before glancing back at Caleb as he and his friend did a shot. "Ty?"
