Amy sat staring at her computer screen playing with her ring. It'd been a few days since her almost kiss and she still didn't know how to feel about it. She felt more confused then ever. She loved Caleb more then anything but for some reason her mind just wouldn't let Ty go. Even after 4 years every once and a while he crept into her mind. She'd wondered what he'd be up too. Or what he looked like now. Never she think that he'd be couch surfing, drinking, getting into bar fights or the worst one yet in jail. He'd spend almost a whole year in jail. She seen him change from the bad boy on probation that first arrived at the ranch to a caring supportive friend. What had happened? He tried to talk to her but ended up pushing her away. And she had to admit the wall put up to prevent getting hurt was still there. Maybe it was best to leave well enough alone. Knowing Ty he'd disappear again before too long anyway. "Amy?" Lisa shouted for the tenth time.
"What?" Amy asked looking over at her startled.
"Do you see anything you like?" She pointed at the screen displaying rows and rows of wedding dresses. The two were seated at the dining room table.
"Eww...those are pretty." Jack said squeezing Amy's shoulder as he walked by her chair. "But why aren't you two out looking at dresses?"
"Because it's a good idea to know where to start." Lisa responded.
"If you say so." He shrugged.
"What about that one? It's pretty."
"Yeah. I guess." Amy nodded less then excited.

Tim drove his truck along the country road until he reached the city. Amy smiling beside him. "You'll have to sneak away with me next time." He said to her.
"Yeah, it's hard when we all live so far away." She stares out the window. She had the nerve to mention Lou too but didn't dare. Her dad was in a happy mood and she didn't wanna be the one ruin that.
"I keep trying to convince Miranda to join us just once but I can't get her to." Tim says as he put his truck in park.
"She's more of a city girl, isn't she?" Amy jumped out the truck following Tim.
"Yeah. Good thing Shane is more like me. Would rather be on a horse."
"You mean us." She smiled.
"Yes. Exactly." He put his arm around her as they made there way across the street and over to the bus stop. He waved at Shane as he picked up his duffle bag.
"Hi Dad." He said giving him his backpack. Tim shook his head and tried his laugh.
"Hi." Amy said giving her brother a hug. It'd been about 6 months since she seen him last. It'd been quite the adjustment to discovering she had a brother. But it had been so much harder on her dad. He spiralled a bit trying to wrap his head around Miranda's betrayal. But after seeing how Shane wanted to get to know his father Tim had came around to the idea. And later making up with Miranda. They had been dating now for a year. Amy had only met her twice before as she rarely came to the ranch. But she seemed really nice. Not to mention she hadn't seen her dad so happy in years. She smiled at Shane as they broke the hug. "Are you getting taller?" She giggled as she ruffed his hair before both followed Tim back to his truck.
"I have the whole day planned. We are gonna have lunch at Maggie's. Then I figured we could go see a movie, eat lots of popcorn. Then dinner at Heartland. Maybe if we have time we could stop by the race track. I wanna show you Storm." Tim said proudly.
Amy smiled over at Shane. Her dad's idea of family fun was a little immature but he was still new to being a parent. Amy had only been 5 and Lou 15 when he abandoned them. So he kinda missed most of their growing up. He had no idea what a 12 or 19 year old did for fun. But his determination to try to make up for the lost time was really great. Amy's view of her dad had always been a bit harsh. At first she hated that he was back and trying to make amends. But the time away from her resulted in Shane. "Sounds great, Dad."

Amy's phone buzzed just as they were finishing their food at Maggie's. It was a text from Peter. 'Lou changed her mind!'
'That's great!' Amy quickly texted back.
'Her flight gets in on Thursday. I'll text you the details.'
Amy's eyes got wide as she read the message. "You okay?" Tim asked as he grabbed his wallet fishing for a $20 bill.
Amy swallowed hard before looking up at him. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." Tim nodded still suspicious. "It's nothing." She slipped her phone into her back pocket as she grabbed her jacket. Bitting her lip she texted Peter back quickly as she walked behind Tim and Shane. 'This Thursday?!'
"Coming honey?" Tim shouted back at her as she was taking too long.
"Yeah, coming." She jogged to catch up to them on the sidewalk. She hadn't even realized this week was when Lou was coming. She hadn't told Jack yet and worst of all Shane would still be here until Saturday.

Amy paced back and forth in the living room occasionally heading into the kitchen then back again. She heard her grandfather's track pull up. Well it was now or ever she thought. Jack came in through the door. "Sorry I took so long. Lisa couldn't make up her mind what she wanted to make for dinner. And then I forgot to get the Scatatoon berry pie at Maggie's. It's still Shane's favourite?" He said as he put down the brown paper bag.
"Yeah, he still loves it." Amy said nervously.
"There's a few more bags in the truck. Can you get them?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure." She headed for the door when he stopped her.
"You okay? This isn't still about Ty, is it?"
"No. Of course not. Why?" Amy turned around to face him.
"I don't know. You just seem...jumpy." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, Ty has no idea who Shane is. That's kinda a big deal. Not to mention neither does Lou." Amy used this as the chance to slip that in. There was no going back now.
"What?" Jack raised his eyebrow. "I doubt Ty is gonna judge us especially given his family situation."
"Right. I was just being silly. Of course he would except Shane as part of the family. Just like you do." Jack eyed her at her comment. "I mean what difference does it make? Shane and Jackson are both the same that way."
Jack sighed. "Amy not this again."
"We're gonna have to face it sooner rather then later. And sooner is this Thursday."
"Excuse me?"
"Lou's flight gets in Thursday." Amy said quickly before darting out the door to get the rest of the groceries. Leaving Jack standing there shocked.
