Monday morning rolled around far too quickly for either as Ty finished his breakfast in silence before grabbing his backpack. Amy shot him a small smile as she poked around at her eggs on her plate. "Have a good day." Lisa said as she brought herself a second cup of coffee and sat in her chair near Amy.
"Thanks." He said avoiding eye connect.
Ty waved at Jack in the barn as he started his bike and drove off.
Amy pushed her eggs around her plate for about 10 minutes before abandoning the house for the barn. She decided on a trail ride to clear her head. Ty's reaction Friday night hadn't exactly been the way she imagined it in her head. But then again how was someone supposed to act. She was only 19 and unfortunately knew exactly how her family was gonna act. She just hoped her dad learned his lesson and wasn't gonna shun her.
Ty on the hand was a wreak. He barely paid attention in any of his classes. His nerves a mess. He didn't dare tell Amy he honestly had no intention of ever becoming a father. Fear he'd be terrible at it. Or turn into his parents. He was already a disaster. This kid didn't need a criminal record father with a slight drinking problem. Not to mention poor Amy was only 19. How had he screwed up yet again? And this time he brought Amy down with him.

Giving the test to Amy. Or having her take it was a whole other issue once he got home. Amy was busy with a client and her horse. He attempted to leave the test in Amy's room, hidden of course but Lisa was on him the minute he came into the house. Obvious to her questioning why he wasn't in the loft. After a few failed excuses he settled on the idea that maybe he was better to hold onto the test. It was less likely to get seen that way. Focusing on homework was another unlikely task. His brain wouldn't let him. He kept imaging the worst case scenario. Being a terrible father. He felt like he was still making up for letting Amy down. Now he might have a child to prove himself to too. It was overwhelming. After a while he got up off the bed to watch Amy. She was running circles in the round pen shouting out instruction. Seemingly as though she didn't have a care in the world. Making Ty feel that much worse and guilty for his feelings.

"So how's schools going?" Jack asked as the family sat for dinner.
"Good." He nodded dishing out the mashed potatoes on his plate.
Amy avoided eye contact feeling her nerves rise. "How was your day, honey?" Lisa asked.
"Fine."
"Just fine?" Jack eyed her wondering why she was less talkative then usual.
"Yeah." She pushed the food around her plant. Her mind racing. She couldn't stop thinking about the idea of having to tell them she was pregnant. If she was. And how she was supposed to raise a baby at her age.
Ty seemed as though he noticed. "I see you working that horse when I got home from school." He said.
"His owner want me to turn him into a cow pony. But I think he's too flighty for that."
"Well, if anyone can get him there you can." Ty smiled.
"I'm not so sure." She said looking away and going back to her mashed potatoes on her plate.
Jack and Lisa exchanged glances.

Ty shifted again on his bed for what felt like the tenth time since Amy went to take the test. He was growing impatient waiting for her to come back from the house. He jumped up and rushed over to her as she came through the doorway. Her expression hard to read. She reached Ty's arms and started sobbing. "Hey, it's okay. We're gonna figure this out. Together. I promise." He rubbed his hand up and down her back until she calmed slightly.
"I can't do this, Ty. I'm not ready to be a mom." She said through her now slowing sobs. She pushed away from Ty and handed him the pregnancy test. She flopped down on the bed. "The box said to wait 3 minutes."
Ty looked down at the test. He'd been in a lot of sticky situations but this one was far more nerve wracking. His hands shook as he placed it down on his dresser before joining Amy. He wrapped his arm around her. "We are gonna get through this. I'm not gonna run. I promise. If that's what your afraid of."
"I'm afraid of everything. My dad. The harsh reality of this whole thing. I love you. I do. But we weren't thinking that night. We let things get out of control. And now we..."
Ty stopped her. "I don't regret it. And neither should you."
"How are we supposed to do this?"
"I don't know. But we will. You believe me don't you?"
Amy nodded. "If you don't..."
"No, Amy. I want this. That baby is apart of both us." He said cutting her off again. She was giving him an out if he wanted it. But he wouldn't do that. "Amy, I want to be there for you and the baby. No matter what. I'm gonna be better then my parents."
Amy smiled softly as she laid her head against his shoulder. If it was at all possible to love him more she did in the moment. Feeling so much more secure in doing this because she had him. "You can look now." She said in a whisper after a few more minutes. It was well past the 3 minutes.
"You sure?" Ty asked not wanting to rush her.
"I'm sure." Ty stood up from the bed giving Amy's hand a small reassuring squeeze before hand. He swallowed hard as he stepped closer to the dresser on the other side of the room. Amy watched nervously for any sort of reaction from Ty. But she couldn't see his face from where she was sitting. "Ty?" She bravely asked.
He turned around his face not giving anything away. She stood up fearing she knew what the test said. But Ty's emotionless face turned into a smile. He turned the test to face her. "We're not pregnant." He said happily.
Amy smiled widely as she jumped into his arms. Tears streaming down her face when he set her back down. She met his concerned gaze. "I feel bad for being happy. But I'm so relieved."
"Me too." He wrapped her in his arms again before kissing the side of her head.
