Chapter Nine
Too Perfect
"Ok, are you going to be good for mommy and Jessie today?" Ty asked as he kissed both Lily and Jackson. The twins sat at the breakfast table finishing their cereal.
"Yes, daddy," Lily smiled, showing off a mouthful of baby teeth. Ty gave her another hug and then turned to Jackson, who was spooning more Cheerios into his mouth.
"What about you?" Ty asked him, poking him in the side. Jackson looked up at him, a big smile on his face and milk dribbling down his chin. Ty picked up a napkin and wiped his face clean.
"I be good," Jackson said.
"Okay," Ty replied. He straightened back up just as Amy came into the kitchen, cell phone in hand. She had a bit of a tense look on her face and Ty was instantly concerned. "What's wrong?"
"That was Jessie," Amy said, holding up the cell phone. "She called to let us know that she was going to be late getting here, about an hour. Something about running something to the post office." She shrugged.
"I'm sure, she'll be here as soon as she can," Ty assured her. "I'll stay with you until then, but I have rounds today, and I was hoping to get done before noon."
"No, of course, go," Amy said, shooing him to the door. "We'll be fine."
"Ok, but if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me," Ty told her, as he picked up his medical bag and opened the front door.
"You have nothing to worry about," Amy reassured him. She leaned up to press her lips to his. Ty returned the kiss, wrapping one arm around her, holding her close. Amy clutched his jacket when she felt him start to pull away, not wanting the kiss to end. But it had to, and Amy pouted when it did.
"I have to go," Ty said quietly. "But I was thinking we could go out for lunch, if I get done early enough, all four of us?"
"Sounds good," Amy agreed, reluctantly letting him go. Ty gave her a last peck on the cheek and turned to go. She closed the door behind him and made her way back to the kitchen. The twins were in the midst of banging their spoons together, but stopped and looked up at her when Amy walked in. "How about we get dressed while we wait for Jessie to get here?"
Lily agreed, but Jackson shook his head no as Amy started to get them down from their booster seats. Jackson immediately ran off to play with his toys, but Lily allowed Amy to take her by the hand and lead her upstairs. It only took a few minutes to let the little girl go potty and dress her in purple stretch-pants and a gray-and-purple striped, long-sleeve shirt. When they went back downstairs, Amy brought Jackson's clothes with her, a pair of toddler jeans and a black-and-gray, long-sleeve shirt with a motorcycle on it.
The little boy was on the floor of the living room playing with his toy motorcycle and Lily's toy horse. Lily immediately saw him playing with her toy and scrambled to get down from where Amy was carrying her. She marched over to her brother, grabbed the toy horse from him and stuck her tongue out at him. Jackson just stared at her and that's when Amy saw the wet spot on the back of the little boy's pajama pants.
Amy kneeled down next to her son. "Jack, did you pee-pee in your pants?" she asked him. As an answer, Jackson stopped playing and looked down at the carpet. "What happened to going on the potty?"
Jackson shrugged, his shoulders reaching up to his ears. "No, feel it," he mumbled.
"Ok, well, let's get you cleaned up," Amy told him, reaching over to pick the little boy up. Jackson rested his chin on Amy's shoulder.
"I sorry, mommy," Jackson said.
"It's okay," Amy replied, standing up. "Just tell me next time you have to go." After she got Jackson dressed, Amy cleaned up the breakfast mess in the kitchen and she tried not to count the minutes until Jessica got here.
A half hour later, Jessica walked through the front door and both twins rushed to greet her. Amy smiled at their warm interaction with the other woman. They really have accepted Jessica into their life, and they thought of her more as a big kid than a nanny. Lily was in the process of pulling Jessica's bag off her shoulder, and asking her about something. Amy chided her daughter, and Lily stopped instantly.
"It's okay," Jessica said, waving it off as toddler antics. She reached her hand into her bag, though. "Yes, Lily, I brought the surprise I told you I'd bring." Jessica withdrew her hand, pulling out a large My Little Pony coloring book and matching crayons.
Lily gasped and reached for the book, her eyes seeing stars. She hugged the book to her chest and then ran over to Amy. "Look, mommy! I got Pony!" she squealed.
"You got more Ponies?!" Amy matched her excitement. Lily nodded enthusiastically.
"What 'bout me?" Jackson was asking Jessica.
"For you, Jack, I got," Jessica said, pulling out another coloring book and box of crayons, instead of My Little Pony, though, this one was Farm animals. "Animals!"
"Cow!" Jackson exclaimed, taking the book from her. He walked over to the coffee table, mooing the whole way.
"Well, it looks like you have things under control here," Amy commented, pulling on her jacket. "I have a client coming, but you can bring them out whenever they get antsy." She secretly hoped that the coloring books would keep the twins busy for awhile.
"Okay," Jessica said, kneeling down in between the twins at the coffee table. They had already started coloring intently. "We'll be fine."
Amy slipped outside and breathed in the fresh, autumn air. She didn't linger for long though, in case one of the twins realized she was gone. Hurrying to the barn, Amy wanted to get Lana ready before her owner arrived. She had figured out that the Quarter Horse mare wasn't being aggressive, she was just the lead mare type horse. She would constantly boss the other horses around and keep them in their place, even when under saddle. It didn't take long, though, for Lana to understand that Amy was the 'lead mare' and learned to submit to her and not worry about other horses when she was ridden. But that wouldn't do any good when she went home, so Amy invited the mare's owner over to assume the leadership role the mare would need.
Lana met her at the gate to the pasture she shared with Autumn, Ahmed's horse. Amy smiled as she fed the mare a peppermint treat from her pocket. Sensing she was missing something, Autumn came ambling over, much to Lana's dismay. The bay mare pinned her ears back, but didn't make a move to snap at the chestnut. Amy rubbed the mare's neck, praising her, and gave her another peppermint. She gave one to Autumn as well.
Amy slipped the soft, red nylon halter onto the mare and led her out of the pasture. Lana was quiet and patient as Amy groomed her inside the barn, as she always is. The mare pricked her ears and gave a soft whinny five minutes into the grooming session. Amy turned and saw a middle-age woman approaching the barn. She had light brown hair that was graying on top, and she was wearing dark jeans and black jacket with Equestrian Mom stitched on the side.
"Hi, Cassidy," Amy greeted Lana's owner. "How are you?"
"Good," Cassidy said. "I'm actually glad that you invited me over. After everything that you've told me about Lana, it all makes sense. I'm excited to get started, maybe little more nervous." She gave an anxious laugh.
"Well, we can head to the round pen and get started," Amy replied, unhooking Lana from the crossties and clipping a lead rope to her halter.
Amy explained the process of join-up and what it is used for to Cassidy as they walked to the round pen. The older woman nodded her head a lot and asked questions when she didn't quite understand. Amy was glad to have somebody open to her techniques of horsemanship.
"Now, when I joined-up with Lana, it took me a little longer for her to accept me as a leader, but that's because she's only known me for a little while," Amy explained as they stood in the middle of the sandy round pen. "Lana already respects you, she just needs to accept you as the leader and not herself."
Cassidy nodded, and Amy slipped over to the fence to sit on the top rail. For the first two minutes, Cassidy was nervous and it affected the way Lana responded to her. The mare would trot a few paces, stop, look over at her owner, and try to come in to her. But once Cassidy got the mare cantering around the ring, she relaxed and join-up came a lot faster. Within a few more minutes, the bay mare was following her owner around the ring, her nose not far from her shoulder.
Amy smiled and clapped. She loved watching a horse and owner have a breakthrough, no matter how big or small, and learn to respect each other and work together. "You ready to ride her?" she called to Cassidy.
Ten minutes later, they were in the riding arena after they had tacked up Lana. Amy was riding Spartan to test the pair's new partnership. The mare had pinned her ears as soon as she saw Spartan, but so far she hadn't acted on her feelings. Now, Amy and Spartan were on the far side of the arena while Cassidy relaxed in the saddle.
"Ok, I'm going to start walking toward you!" Amy called to the other woman. "I want you to keep doing your circles, and if you start to feel her start to react to Spartan, give her something else to do! Keep her feet and her mind busy, so she focuses on you and not the other horse!"
Amy saw Cassidy nod, so she nudged her calves into Spartan's barrel and the gelding started walking. Cassidy was working on a ten-meter circle, and the mare was completely focused on her rider. It was when Amy was more than halfway there when the mare took notice of them. She flicked an ear in their direction, but kept her focus when she was asked to turn a very tight circle.
Urging Spartan into a faster walk, Amy pressed closer. Lana pinned her ears immediately. Cassidy urged the mare into a faster walk as well, and turned her into a wider circle. Amy asked Spartan for a slow trot and started to pass the mare on the outside. Lana didn't like that at all; the mare balked and attempted to kick out at Spartan, but Cassidy was faster. She kicked the mare into a walk and immediately turned her into a tight, left circle, three times. Cassidy let the mare stop, facing Spartan.
"Nice job," Amy praised her.
Cassidy smiled and gave her mare long pat on the neck.
"Mommy!"
Amy couldn't help the small feeling of dread that went through her at the sound of the twins' voices. She'd expected, and given Jessica permission to bring the twins outside, but she had secretly hoped that they would have wanted to stay inside and play. She had known that was futile thinking, they loved to be outside.
"Are those your twins?" Cassidy asked, turning to look at the three newcomers.
"Yes, Lily and Jackson," Amy smiled. "And that's our nanny, Jessica."
"They are so cute!" Cassidy gushed over the twins.
"Thank you," Amy said as she asked Spartan to approach the gate. She could already hear Lily asking for a horsie ride. She knew that they weren't going to get anymore work done now. Amy turned to look at Cassidy. "You did a great job today, we can end it there, if you want?"
Cassidy nodded, "Yeah, I'm actually pretty tired after all that."
"Ok, I can take care of her for you, if you want to go?" Amy offered.
Cassidy shook her head as she dismounted. "No, I want to do it."
Amy dismounted from Spartan as the other woman led Lana out of the arena. Jessica held the twins' hands as Amy walked Spartan out of the gate. "I'm sorry, we interrupted your session," the nanny apologized. "They saw you out the window and wanted to come see what you were doing."
"No, it's ok," Amy reassured her. She scooped up Lily, who was still asking for a ride, and placed her on Spartan's saddle. The little girl immediately picking up the reins, beaming with excitement. Before Jackson could start asking as well, Amy picked him up and sat him behind his sister. The change in Spartan was apparent with the twins in the saddle; the gelding had his ears pricked and he stepped slowly and carefully.
"They really love being around the horses," Jessica noted as she watched the twins giggle and enjoy the ride.
"Well, it's in their blood," Amy smiled at her children as she walked Spartan to the barn. When they stopped inside the stable, neither twin wanted to get off, but with a promise to brush the gelding, they came right off. Jessica was right, Lily and Jackson did love being around the horses and that made Amy feel better about the interrupted session.
~OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~
Ty had arrived back at the ranch before twelve o'clock, just as they were all heading back up to the house. Cassidy had left awhile go, after she'd told Amy that she'll text her with the available time she could come work with Lana again. Both Lily and Jackson greeted Ty with excited hugs and cheered when he asked if they wanted to go out for lunch. Neither one of them wanted Jessica to leave, though, so Amy and Ty invited her to come out with them. At first, she declined, but they insisted they wanted to treat her for everything she's done for them. In the end, Jessica agreed to come.
Now, they all sat at a table for five at Maggie's Diner. Both Lily and Jackson wanted to sit next to Jessica, so she was stuck sitting in the middle of the two of them. Amy and Ty were completely fine with it, it meant that they could hold hands under the table, something they haven't been able to do for awhile.
"Don't like this," Lily was saying as she picked a small piece of green melon out of her fruit cup. She handed it to Jessica, who deposited the fruit in a napkin.
"Don't forget to eat your chicken nuggets," Amy reminded her daughter, pushing her plate closer to her. Lily gave a small nod, but kept eating her fruit. Jackson on the other-hand was almost done his chicken nuggets, after having dug in almost as soon as his plate was set down in front of him.
"What happened to all your nuggets?" Ty asked his son, incredulously. Jackson held up the only half-eaten nugget he had left, smiling big. "That's all?!" Jackson nodded. "Wow, you're going to grow to be so big and strong!"
"Like you," Jackson said, after he had stuffed the last bite of nugget in his mouth and pointed at Ty.
"Yes, just like me," Ty replied, tickling the toddler's belly a little. Jackson started to laugh, but stopped when food started to fall out of his mouth. He pushed the food back in with his hand. Ty handed him the diner-supplied kids' cup full of milk to help him swallow better.
"They really are the sweetest kids I've ever been around," Jessica commented, looking from Lily to Jackson, and then at Amy and Ty. "I've heard stories about the terrible twos, but it's not really true for these two. I mean, there's a tantrum here and there, a squabble over a toy, but nothing too bad."
"Thanks, but we've had our share of pull-your-hair-out days," Ty said. "I mean, twins were a lot more than we were expecting."
"I couldn't imagine having twins on a regular basis," Jessica replied, placing her water glass down on the table, after having taken a sip.
"It's hard, but we wouldn't trade them away for anything," Amy said, looking over at Ty and squeezing his hand. Ty looked at her, and leaned over to place a kiss on her cheek.
The conversation stopped when they heard the sound of spitting. It was Lily, spitting out pieces of her chicken nuggets. "Yucky," she said, when she stopped and stuck her tongue out.
"I thought you loved chicken nuggets?" Amy asked her, taking a look at Lily's plate. Bits of chewed up nuggets were spat out all over the other untouched nuggets. Lily shook her head and pushed her plate away. "Do you want some of Jackson's macaroni and cheese instead?"
They had ordered mac'n'cheese with Jackson's chicken nuggets, knowing the toddler wouldn't eat the fruit that Lily liked. When Lily nodded, Amy handed her plate to Ty, so he could put some of Jackson's macaroni on it. As Ty reached over with a spoon, that's when Jackson seemed to catch on and covered his macaroni with his hands.
"No! Nooo!" Jackson exclaimed.
"I'm just going to take a little bit for Lily. Don't you want to share?" Ty asked him. Jackson shook his head, not moving his hands. Ty decided to try another tactic. "Ok, if you let Lily have some of your macaroni, you can have her chicken nuggets?" Ty held up Lily's remaining two chicken nuggets.
A minute went by before Jackson finally nodded and moved his hands. Ty breathed a sigh of relief as put the two chicken nuggets on Jackson's plate and gave Lily half the macaroni and cheese. Lily licked her lips when Ty placed her plate back in front of her.
The rest of lunch went by without any other incidents. When it was time to leave, both twins gave Jessica an extra long hug, saying how much they were going to miss her. After they had buckled the two toddlers into their car seats, Amy and Ty decided to stop over at Heartland. It had been awhile since they've seen everybody and they needed something that would tire the twins out. So, they headed to Heartland listening to Jackson's motorcycle sound effects most of the way.
~OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~
When they drove down the long driveway to Heartland, Amy spied movement in the jumping ring. Georgie was taking Phoenix over a course of jumps. She marveled over at how completely at ease the fourteen-year-old was on the big, grey gelding. Katie was down at the other end of the ring on her little paint pony, Pogey. The five-year-old was becoming a real cowgirl, she could steer the pony all by herself and could even trot a little bit. Lou stood nearby, though, just in case something happened. She waved to them as they drove past the ring and parked in front of the ranch house.
"Pogey!" Lily squealed when Amy lifted her from the car. The twins loved Katie's pony and always gushed over him whenever they came to Heartland. Lily strained against Amy's hand, wanting to go pet the pony. Jackson, on the other-hand, was quiet as Ty carried him, his head resting on his daddy's shoulder.
"What's the matter with him?" Amy asked, when the two rounded the back of the car.
"I don't know, he's not talking," Ty answered, glancing at his son. Jackson stared at a spot just beyond Amy. "Maybe, the car ride just made him tired."
Amy nodded in agreement, thinking that was probably it. As they started walking to the riding ring, Lou met them at the gate as they approached. "They look good out there," Amy said to Lou, nodding toward the two girls on their horses. "Especially Katie, she's a complete natural."
"Yeah, well, all she wants to do is trot that pony all over the place, she makes me nervous," Lou replied, glancing back at Katie. "Now, she wants to learn how to jump like Georgie."
Amy and Ty tried to hide their laughs at Lou's protectiveness and and compulsive need to control everything, but Lou saw them. "It is not funny," she said, indignantly. Then, when Katie rode past them, she called to her, "Honey, stop kicking Pogey's sides so much! Give that pony a break!" Lou looked back Amy and Ty, sheepishly. "Alright, fine, I get it."
They all had a nice laugh, and then Ty leaned toward Amy. "I have to take Jackson to the bathroom," he said.
"Ok," Amy replied. She looked down at Lily. "Lily, do you have to go potty?" Lily nodded without taking her eyes off the two horses in the ring.
Amy and Ty had just turned to leave when Georgie's voice rang across the arena. "Amy, wait!" Amy turned back around and saw Georgie trotting Phoenix toward the fence. "Can you give me a lesson right now, please?"
"Georgie, I was giving you a lesson," Lou said.
"No offense, but," Georgie grimaced. "You yell too much and you put the jumps way to low. Phoenix can do those puny jumps in his sleep."
"Well, I guess I know when I'm not needed," Lou gaped. She turned to Amy. "Do you mind?"
"Not at all," Amy smiled. She looked at Ty and handed him Lily's hand. "I'm sure you can handle these two?"
"Of course," Ty said. "Your expertise is needed." He leaned forward and placed a short, sweet kiss on her lips. When they pulled apart, Amy saw Jackson sticking his tongue out at their affection. Ty smiled and Amy laughed as she tickled the little boy. When Ty did start walking to the ranch house, Lily started walking too, until she realized Amy wasn't coming with them. She stopped short.
"I stay, mommy," she said.
"No, you go potty real fast, and then you can come back outside," Amy told the little girl. "Okay?"
Lily didn't say anything, but when Ty took her hand again, she didn't resist.
Ty held the the front door open for Lily, urging her to hurry up. The two-year-old was taking slow, shuffling steps and she kept looking behind her at Amy. He had told her a few times that they would only be gone a few minutes, but Lily was just like her mother. She didn't like to be away from the horses for even a second.
"Gampa!" Jackson exclaimed as Ty was closing the door. Lily echoed his call and she ran through the kitchen.
"It's been awhile since I've seen you two," Jack said as lifted Lily up into the air. "You're getting so big!" Lily giggled and and Jackson whined as he reached out toward Jack.
"Who is that I hear?" came Lisa's voice as she came into the kitchen.
"Me," Lily answered.
"Me who?" Lisa asked her.
"Me, Lily," Lily said laughing.
"We were just coming in to use the bathroom," Ty explained, a little worried that one of the twins was going to wet themselves if they didn't get to the bathroom now.
"Oh, well, I'd love to see you use the potty like the big kids you are!" Lisa gushed as she held her hands out to Jackson. "Can I?"
"Sure," Ty said, handing the boy over to Lisa. Jack put Lily down on her feet and Ty watched as Lisa took both kids to the bathroom.
"So, how are you and Amy doing?" Jack asked as walked over to the coffeepot to pour himself another cup.
"We're doing great," Ty answered. "Yeah, Amy got the ranch up and running again. We have a part-time nanny taking care of the kids, things are going good."
"Glad to hear it," Jack said, clapping Ty on the back of the shoulder.
By the time, Ty brought the twins back outside, Amy was schooling Georgie over a course of six jumps. She had also set out two ground poles for Katie to trot Pogey over, even though she was riding in a western saddle. Lou sat on the fence rail, cheering when one of her daughters did something well.
"Things look like they're going well," Ty commented as leaned against the fence next to Lou. Lily and Jackson both sat down in the grass and began playing with their little toys they always bring with them. Lily's toy horse and Jackson's toy motorcycle.
"Yeah, I can't believe Georgie doesn't want me to coach her?" Lou shook her, still in disbelief.
"Well, she's at that age now where, you know, mothers and daughters...disagree about everything," Ty said, consoling her. "I wouldn't worry about it. Georgie's a good kid."
"Yeah," Lou agreed as she watched Georgie and Phoenix leap over a red-and-white striped oxer. They watched Georgie jump a few more fences, when Ty felt a presence slide up next to him. It was Caleb.
"Hey, how are you doing, man?" Ty greeted him.
"Alright, can I talk to you?" Caleb asked, nodding towards the barn.
"Yeah, sure," Ty said, then he turned to Lou. "Can you keep an eye on the twins for moment?" He didn't think they would be any problem, both twins were playing quietly in the grass.
"Of course," Lou replied. She nodded at Caleb. "Hey, Caleb."
Caleb remained silent as they walked to the barn, but Ty could tell something was eating at his friend. At first, Ty thought he'll have to drag it out of him, but as soon as they entered the stable, Caleb turned to face him. "Rebecca and I broke up," Caleb blurted out.
Ty almost took a step back in surprise. He'd really hadn't expected Caleb to say that. Caleb and his sister had been going strong lately, he'd actually thought they were taking their relationship to the next level. He wondered what had changed.
"Wow, I'm sorry, man," Ty said, truthfully, because he was sorry. He knew how happy they had both been together. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened?"
"Her ex happened," Caleb replied shortly. He walked over to the row of stalls, then turned back around. "Adam is back."
Again, Ty was taken by surprise and he blinked, not sure if he heard correctly. "In Hudson? Adam is back in Hudson?" he questioned.
Caleb nodded grimly.
"Does Rebecca know? What is she going to do?" Ty couldn't help the overflow of questions that spilled from his lips. Just hearing the guy's name made Ty's blood boil after everything Adam had put everyone through the last time he was here.
"She's going to let that guy weasel his way back into her life," Caleb answered, and it was obvious by the disgust in his voice what Caleb thought about that. "Adam told her that he wants to make things right, and get to know his son."
Ty didn't have to ask what Rebecca had said, because he could see it in Caleb's eyes. He loved his sister and would do anything for her, but he couldn't believe how stupid she was being. Jeopardizing her relationship for a guy, who was only going to disappoint her again. Ty shook his heard, he didn't like this.
"I feel like finding out where he's living and going over there and give him a warning he won't likely forget," Ty said to ease the tension in the air.
"Already taken care of," Caleb grinned and held up his right hand. Ty could see now that his knuckles were bruised. He grinned as well.
"I still don't like that she's going to be hanging around that I guy," Ty said after a while.
"Me neither," Caleb admitted.
Hoofbeats and sniffling brought their attention to the stable entrance. Amy was leading Pogey and she also had an arm around an upset Katie. The five-year-old look disheveled, her pigtails askew and she had a smudge of dirt on her cheek. She kept dabbing at her eyes, even though there was no tears falling.
"Katie just experienced her first fall," Amy explained, before either guy could ask what happened.
"Off that pony?" Caleb asked incredulously.
Katie nodded sniffling.
"They were doing really well, trotting over the ground poles," Amy said, squeezing Katie's shoulders. "Pogey stumbled, and when he righted himself, he actually jumped over the pole. Katie was unseated and she fell."
"Ah, it happens to everybody," Ty replied, walking over to give Katie a hug. "But the important thing is that you get right back on."
"I did," Katie said, pulling away from Ty. "But I don't want to ride no more today."
"That's ok, Katie, you were very brave," Amy told her the little girl as she tied Pogey to the stall, so they could untack him. "How about you untack your pony and give him a nice brushing?" Katie nodded and started to undo the cinch.
It was then that Georgie came into the barn with Phoenix and tied him up next to Pogey. "You did a good job getting back up, Katie," Georgie said, giving her sister a hug. "I'm proud of you." Katie hugged her back tightly. The younger girl also whispered a polite thank you.
Amy had stepped back to give the two girls a few moments alone, so Ty stepped up next to her. "Where's Lily and Jackson?" he asked her.
Amy looked up at him. "Out in the yard having a melt down with Lou and grandpa," she answered. "I was only making things worse, so Lou told me to bring Katie here and just let them play a little longer. But I think we should go, they're definitely ready for a nap."
"Definitely, by the sound of it," Ty agreed, just as they heard Jackson let out a loud cry. They said their goodbyes to everyone in the barn, and Ty gave a knowing look to Caleb.
By the time, Amy and Ty got outside, both twins were crying and rubbing their eyes. Apparently, Jackson had run over Lily's hand with his motorcycle by accident, and then Lily threw dirt at Jackson because of it. They thanked Lou and Jack as they both took the twins from them. The toddlers instantly grew quieter as soon as they were in their parents' arms.
Neither Jackson nor Lily put up a fuss as they were buckled into their car seats. They didn't even want their toys when Amy offered it to them. Jackson gave a big yawn and leaned his head against the side of his car seat, while Lily sucked noisily on her thumb. As Ty started up the car, he shared a look with Amy that said they both knew that the toddlers were going to be asleep soon. In fact, they were barely out of the Heartland driveway, when the twins were out completely.
A/N: How's that for a long chapter?! I'm sure that was worth the long wait, but I promise I won't keep you waiting long for the next chapter. Please review! :)
