Chapter 23

As Ty and Amy were getting ready for bed Ty asked Amy if she was ready to move into the loft.

"I think so. But what about Molly and the other two mares? Sandy and Clover should be about two weeks away from having their foals. Do you think it would be better for them to stay here where they have gotten used to or move them to Heartland?"

"I'd say we see if Lisa will let us stay here until all the foals have been born. Maybe even until next spring. The reason I say that is we are going to Hawaii in December and two of the colts will only be a couple of months old. Molly's colt will only be about a month. Lisa has the people to take care of them while we are gone. I really like being here and with the girls gone we could really make some noise at night." Ty then pulls Amy to him and gives her a long and passionate kiss.

Ty had exams the next morning, so he was gone by the time Amy got up. It was a good thing because she spent most of her first hour up over the toilet bowl emptying the contents of her stomach. After she had cleaned herself up she went and took out a pregnancy test out of her dresser drawer. She had this deep feeling that she was pregnant and according to the strip she was. She called Dr. Virani's office and got an appointment for just before noon.

Amy ate dry toast again that morning. She had a lot on her mind. She was thinking about when and how to tell Ty he was going to be a Dad, when her phone rang. She didn't recognize the number but answered it anyway. "Hello this is Amy Fleming Bordon speaking."

"Hi Amy, I'm Casey Mc Murtry I'm and old friends of your dads. I own and run the Mc Murtry Rodeo Company and I hear that you know where I might get some good barrel racing stock. Is that true?"

"Well yes it is Mrs. Mc Murtry."

"Please call me Casey and I'm kind of pinched for time but could you bring them by the rodeo grounds at about 10:30 this morning so I my have a good look at them."

"Yes we will there and thank you for calling Casey."

"Well girls that was the owner of a rodeo company and she wants to look at your horses this morning and might want to buy them." Amy told them and the girls very excited but once the news started to sink in, Amy could tell they were having second thought about selling their horse. Amy knew it would be hard for them to say good bye to something you have loved and trained.

After the girls unloaded their horses Amy unhitched the trailer from her truck so she could get to her appointment at 11. Casey had come over to look at the horses and introduced herself to everyone. "I have the arena set up so if you girls will saddle up Amy and I time each of you and we'll see how it goes from there." Casey told them.

"Casey I have an appointment at 11 so I' can't stay." Amy told her as she then started to walk to her truck to leave.

"Okay Amy but I wanted to ask you something kind of personal if you don't mind?"

Amy turned and said "Sure."

Casey look a little uneasy then just spit it out, "Tim asked to come to the party at Heartland tonight. I want to go but I don't want to cause any problem."

Amy smiled and gave Casey a hug. "You won't cause any problems and we'd all love for you to be there."

"Thanks Amy and I don't know if anyone has said this to you before but you do look a lot like Marion."

"You knew my Mom?" Amy asked

"Oh yes. Now you had better go we can talk about how I knew you parents tonight." Casey then gave Amy a hug.

Amy's mind was going every where as she sat in the waiting room, awaiting the results of her urine sample. Her main concern was how to tell Ty. She wasn't worried about telling him she just wanted to make it special. The nurse called her in to see Dr. Virani. Amy knew by the smile on the Dr.'s face she was pregnant.

"Well Amy you are 6 week along on your new and wonderful adventure so to speak. I take it by the huge smile on your face that you are happy about this?"

"More than I could put into words." Amy told her as tears of joyed filled her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks.

Dr Virani walked around to Amy, where the two hugged. "Congratulations Amy. You are going to be a Wonderful Mother. Now I have a vitamin pack that I'll give you, a prescription for more packs and a list of things you should do and not do. Do you have any questions for me?"

Amy had thought about not being able to ride until now. "The only thing I can think of right now is can I still ride and work with horses?"

"I was hoping you ask that. Yes you can ride Spartan and any other well broke horse. No running or trotting though. As far as working with horses nothing and I do mean Nothing Ruff that could cause you or the little one harm. I will make sure that Ty and Lou understand that as well. Okay?"

Amy just smiled and said "What ever you say Dr. and thank you."

As Amy went to get into her truck she got a text from Ty saying he was close to town and asked if she needed anything before he got home. She quickly text him back to meet her at the rodeo grounds. He text back K.

Amy stopped to fill her prescription at the pharmacy and she turned to leave she saw the cutest baby rattle. It was shaped like a horse. Amy knew now how to tell Ty the news.

Ty was waiting by the horse trailer as Amy arrived. He helps her line up the truck so she can backup to the hitch. When that was done, Ty open the door for Amy who hadn't gotten out of the truck yet.

"What going on Ames. I saw the girls over by the arena talking to some Lady. I was headed over there when I saw you coming."

Amy said nothing she simply got out of the truck put her hands around Ty's neck and pulled him in for a long passionate kiss. When they parted, "WOW" was all Ty could say.

Amy looked at Ty and said "I saw something in the store just before I came and I just couldn't stop myself from buying it. Here what do you think?" Amy asked as she showed him the rattle shaped like a horse.

Ty look bewildered. He really didn't know what to say. All he could think of was, " Boy thats kind of weird. A horse on a small stick that rattles. What will they come ," Ty doesn't finish what he was going to say. Amy could tell Ty mind was racing to put together what was really going on. "Is that what I think it is," he asks as his jaw dropped.

Amy smiles, "Yes Daddy it's a baby rattle."
