Fate or Fortune?

Chapter 2-Daughter…Fiancé?

Amy's POV

The barn was like a sanctuary to me.

Seven years had passed since I left Heartland. In all those years I had not gone back.

Not once.

Instead I used the holidays to gain experience or stay with friends. All in all I missed my home at the start but not anymore. I had completely separated myself from it and I hope they were glad!

"Mummy?" A little girl's voice interrupted me from my thoughts.

"Hey Ruth. In here Sweetheart." I replied to my daughter.

She was 3years old and I had had her at my vet school in England where I am now. In a few weeks it would be the end of term and then I would be getting married!

My soon to be husband was called Callum. He was the father of Ruth and we had known each other for about eight years now.

Just as I thought this he walked in.

"Hey Amy. What's going on?" he asked me.

"Nothing I'm fine. Aren't I Ruthy?" I answered before picking up the little girl. She giggled and I held her close.

"WHOA! It's a bit crowded in here!" My twin Sam appeared. He is one of the only family members I have kept in touch with. But only because he goes to the law school a few miles away.

"Yes I know Sam." I said exasperated. "I'm going now anyway. Dress fitting…you know!" I gave Callum a quick kiss, handed him Ruth and walked out.

Fate or Fortune?

Out in the open air my mind went back to its wonderings.

When I had left my sister her daughter, Holly Marion, had only just been born. Now that would make her about 7 or 6.

I really wanted to see her but that would be awkward. Who knows what they have told her about me!

I really did have a dress-fitting so I walked over to my now very old Audi RS4 and got in.

As I reached the town and the wedding shop I could see my maid of honour and best friend, Soraya, waiting for me. She was another person I still had contact with.

"Hi" I called from the car. Soraya turned to look at me and waved.

"Hi!" She called back. "You were almost late!"

"Sorry" I apologised. "I'll just park the car."

Round the corner I parked the car and jogged back to her.

"Let's go in" I panted and we pulled open the door.

Inside it was quiet. Drapes hung from the walls and dresses could be seen in the back room. Magazines lay abandoned on a table in the middle of the floor.

From behind the desk a young woman sat watching us. After a few seconds she got up and talked to us.

"Hi. My name's Sophie. Can I help you?"

"Um yeah. Me and my maid of honour have an appointment."

"You must be Amy and Soraya then?" she checked her book.

When we both nodded she smiled and told us. "Your dresses are in the changing rooms. Amy, yours is in the left and Soraya yours is in the right. Just come out when you are ready and I will check them ok?" We nodded again and walked into our separate cubicles.

I glanced into the mirror and realised how much my barn love had taken a toll on me! I had hay in my hair and when I sniffed my jacket I could smell the horses as strongly as if they were here. Never mind. I slipped out of my jeans and t-shirt and took the long, white dress off its hook. As I pulled it over my head my hair got stuck and pulled painfully. "Great." I whispered grudgingly.

After a few minutes of violent struggling I managed to pull the neck over my head.

I smoothed it down and reached behind me to do up the zip. I lifted my head after it was done up and tight and glanced into the mirror on the wall. My head wiped back to the mirror and I gasped.

The dress was almost exactly the same as the one my mother had worn for her wedding day.

Lace spiralled up and down my arms and lines of elegant beads traced the curves in my body. It split in the middle showing a lacy under body.

It may have been the same as my mothers but it was not the kind of dress I had grown up wanting. I sighed and closed my eyes. I could picture it as clearly as if I was wearing it. It cut off just above my bust, not showing much cleavage and had no sleeves. All of it was encrusted in gems, diamonds and beads that sparkled in the lights. It flared at the waist and fell in fold around my feet.

Well that was the dress me and Ty had pictured anyway.

Fate or Fortune?

Tears streamed down my face as I stood in front of a mirror next to Soraya.

She smiled and put her hand on my shoulder. Her dress was a silvery satin and also had beads on it. It had three quarter length sleeves and the beads were a pinky colour.

"Look at her! Isn't she so happy?" Sophie grinned from where she was trying to pile my long, light brown hair on the top of my head.

What they didn't know was that the tears making stains on my cheeks were not from happiness. I was just so sad that my family would not share this big day with me. I knew that it was me that had stopped Sam from sending the invitations but I didn't care.

A few minutes later I was allowed to take the dress off. It felt good to be back in my normal clothes though it was nice to doll myself at little bit at times!

Soraya was waiting for me when I came out. "Come on!" She said impatiently to me. "I really need to show you something now!"

I smiled. Soraya definitely did overreact at times. "Fine but keep it quick."

She almost dragged me out the shop so fast that I could only say a hurried goodbye to Sophie. In the background as we ran away all I could hear was Sophie's shrieking laughter.

Soraya shoved into my car and got in next to me. "Where are we going?" I asked pulling off the hand brake and inching my way out of the car park.

"Back to your academy. Now go!"

I drove slowly through the deserted streets to annoy her and by the time we got back Soraya was looking very stressed.

I laughed and she got out and started to run to the barn.

I wondered why she was going in there and I quickly followed her.

"Say hello…" Soraya started as I came in. "To… MATT!!"

My whipped to the body in the corner and a grinning man came out of the shawdows.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" I screamed happily and flew at the familiar face.

He held me close and I played with his glinting blond hair.

When we finally broke apart I realised I had not seen him in about 5years. About the same time as I had seen Ben. He had missed all the commotion at the academy and just as I was about to reveal my secrets someone else did it for me.

"Mummy?"

"Yes My dearest soon to be wife. Your daughter says mummy!"

I smiled at the sound of Callums and Ruth's voices as they broke through our reunion.

"Over here, guys. I need to introduce you to some of my old friends!" I beckoned them over and smiled around at everyone.

"Matt, this is Ruth, my daughter and this is Callum my fiancé" Matt looked stunned and I smiled again.

"Daughter…Fiancé?" He whispered stunned.
