Amy pulled down the shades of the trailer's windows after checking to make sure Ty and Caleb were still outside before she turned and went to change for bed. Her movements were slow and deliberate, her mind straining to think about just changing her clothes instead of the other place it wanted to wander. Amy knew she and Ty needed to discuss what happened at dinner, or most notably after, but she really just didn't want to right now. It had been a long, and stressful evening. All she wanted to do was crawl into bed and just sleep it off. Unfortunately, even she knew it couldn't be that easy. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that as soon as Ty came inside and they were again alone, he'd be coaxing her into that dreaded discussion. She just hoped that Caleb kept him occupied long enough for Amy to crawl into bed and pretend to be asleep when he did return.

Of course she couldn't get so lucky. Amy was just crawling beneath the blankets when Ty entered the trailer, his eyes immediately finding her on their bed. Amy had tried to avoid his gaze but she'd been too late to look away.

"You never did eat anything. Aren't you hungry?" Ty asked, deliberately refraining from mentioning the big elephant in the room. He didn't want to go to bed in an argument with Amy. No matter who you were, that was never a good thing. He just wished they could have the same system Caleb and Ashley used to that no matter how bad the fight was, in the morning they would just start over like it never happened. Wouldn't that be nice. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be that simple, so Ty was going to make up for it now by playing nice instead of further agitating his wife.

Amy watched him for a few long moments, trying to gauge his angle, deciding not to push her luck and just shaking her head slowly. "No, I'm okay." She paused, moving her gaze from Ty as he sat in the recliner at the table to get off his boots. "It probably won't stay down anyway." Not much did lately.

"Oh. You should have something in your stomach, though. Some saltines at least. They're safe, right?" Ty got up after kicking off his boots and reaching into the cabinet for a sleeve of crackers, offering it to Amy.

"Uh, yeah. Most of the time. Thanks." She reached out to take the sleeve, her fingers brushing lightly over his, both of them pausing with their hands still wrapped around the crackers before Ty relented his grip.

Amy lowered her arm back to the bed, turning the sleeve around to find the seam and pulled it apart to open it, taking out a cracker and bringing it to her lips for a small bite. "So, what were you and Caleb talking about?" She had a hunch she could guess correctly.

Ty went back to close the cabinet then pulled off his shirt to toss in the laundry pile before grabbing his tooth brush from the cabinet above the sink. "Uh, well, I tried to break the news gently about him finding a new place to stay."

Amy bit into the cracker again. "How did he take it?"

Ty shrugged, shoving his toothbrush into his mouth and scrubbing vigorously. "He'll get over it," he mumbled through a mouth full of foam.

"So, what's he going to do?"

Ty spat in the sink, rinsing the brush off and sticking it back into the cabinet with the toothpaste. "I don't know. See if Jack will let him have the loft again for a while, I guess, since no one else is using it. Not sure he wants to be sucked back into doing the farm chores though to pay for his keep."

"Well he is Lou's trail boss. I mean that's enough of a chore just dealing with her on a daily basis. And Nicole isn't much better."

"Yeah, but I don't think he wants to be the new guy in the loft." Ty crawled over Amy to take his place in the bed beside the wall.

Glancing back at her husband as he slid down beneath the sheets and laid his head on the pillow, Amy smiled softly at him. "You'll always be the guy in the loft to me."

Ty returned her light smile, folding his arms back behind his head. "Seems so long ago now, doesn't it?"

Moving her crackers onto the floor, Amy slid down beside Ty. "Yeah, a lot happened in that loft."

Ty stared up at the ceiling with a reminiscent smile, nodding. "A lot of memorable moments that's for sure. I kind of miss it at times."

"I know I missed you being there after you moved out here when Caleb left. I felt spoiled having you so close all of the time. But I guess you being so far away made me realize how much I just wanted to be with you." Amy reached out to place her hand on his chest, Ty pulling one of his own from behind his head to take hers in it.

"And now you get to deal with me every moment of every day," he grinned, bringing her hand to his lips to kiss the back of her fingers."How do you feel about that now?"

"Well, not every moment with our crazy schedules." Amy smiled softly again, shifting herself over to drop her head against his shoulder. "But, I like it. I like knowing I have you to wake up to every morning and that I get to fall asleep with you every night. I like that certainty that now matter what else happens in the day it will always begin and end the same." Amy paused, her smiled faltering a little as she adjusted her head to lower her face from Ty's view. "Especially right now when everything just seems so… confusing."

Ty lowered Amy's hand from his lips, letting it rest again on his chest as he ran his fingers delicately along her forearm. He pressed his lips together, listening to her talk and wondering if this was her bringing up the baby discussion for him to run with or if he should just stick to his plan of letting it go for tonight. There was definitely a tension hanging in the air from words left unsaid, but right now Ty would take this safe talk over getting Amy upset again right now. "Yeah, but it didn't start out like this." Ty pointed out gently, cautiously.

"And what does that mean?" Amy's voice found that affronted tone as she lifted her head from Ty and propped herself up to look at him with a small frown.

Ty knew he should have just kept his mouth shut, but was now pushing himself up on his elbows. "I'm just wondering what happened to the wife I woke up to this morning. The one that was excited and happy to be called 'mommy' and finally get to tell the family we were having a baby." Well, since the mood had just been blown, might as well run with it.

"I don't know, Ty. I'm still happy… I-"

Ty raised his brow at her. "Are you? Because you sure don't seem it if you're talking about abortion."

Tears filled Amy's eyes as she pushed herself up and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "I wasn't…" She sniffed, pushing her hair behind her ear as she bit her upper lip and tried to make sense of the thoughts that raced through her brain all night. "I wasn't seriously considering it. I just… I guess I hadn't really thought about how indefinitely our lives would change and… I had a moment of uncertainty and doubt."

Ty slowly sat up and turned on the bed to look at his wife. "So you weren't think about ending this pregnancy?" he asked, just wanting to have some clarity.

Amy whipped her head around, shaking it in disbelief. "No, Ty. You really thought I could do that? Just… get rid of our baby because I was afraid of how my life would change?"

"Well, you sounded pretty clear that you were having second thoughts to the whole thing and when you wouldn't talk to me about it I just figured…"

Amy turned around, reaching out to gently cradle Ty's face in her hand. "There's nothing I want more than to have a family with you Ty Borden, you know that. But my whole life has been centered around helping horses and it's just a little overwhelming and even scary to think that I may have to give that up, even if it's just for a little while. And my dad was just bringing out all of those questions I'd had floating in my mind but never wanted to face."

There was a relief that flooded through Ty as he listened to Amy assure him that she didn't want to get rid of their baby. He could understand her uncertainty, though, even if he didn't think she should have to feel that way. "Your dad did kind of lay it on pretty thick."

"He just wants to see me reach my potential. But…" Amy paused, smiling gently at Ty as her eyes lowered from his face between them. "I meant it when I said I was happy." Her gaze rose to catch his again, shaking her head slowly. "I've accomplished so much at such a young age. It was really overwhelming and stressful at times, especially with my dad there pushing me to do better and to keep myself in the limelight. But you know what, I never wanted to be in that light. It just sort of happened and then suddenly it wasn't just about helping the horse anymore. I think I'm ready to just step back and slow down, get back to my mother's roots of where Heartland began…before that whole "Miracle Girl" video."

Ty was smiling, his hand raising to again take Amy's, pulling it down away from his face and reaching up to wipe at the tears that had spilled over her cheeks but were now starting to dry as she talked with more conviction in her voice instead of doubt. "I think that's a great idea." Ty knew all of the publicity that came from that video had just ended up building to a point where Amy began to lose touch with herself. It became more like she was trying to prove to everyone that she was capable of curing every horse that came to her, rather than just simply helping the horse heal from whatever scars tainted its past. "And you know you don't have to stop helping problem horses. I would never expect, nor want, you to give up the thing you love."

"I know. Ty, I'm so sorry about tonight, about making you think I really didn't want this. I do. I always will, and it doesn't matter what my dad says, you're right: we're going to make this work our own way. You're a great husband, and I know you're going to be an even better dad."

Finally, Ty was able to see that loving smile appear on his wife's face again, making him want to do nothing more than reach out and pull her into his arms. Which he did, tightly, his fingers brushing through her blonde hair and he held her against him, not daring to let go. "We're going to be fine," he murmured in her ear.

"We are," Amy assured him, her own hand raking through his hair, fingers curling against his scalp. "I love you."

Ty pulled back to rest his forehead against Amy's with a smile before pressing his lips firmly to hers. The kiss was a little moist from Amy's tears, Ty able to taste their saltiness but he only tilted his head to the side to deepen the kiss for a moment longer before they both needed to come up for air. "I love you, too."
