Chapter 24
"YEE-HAW" Ty yelled at the top of his lungs. He lifts Amy off her feet and swings her around a couple of times before he gently sets her down. " You just found out didn't you?" He asked.
"Yes and I take you are okay with it.?"
"Oh Hon, you know I am. We need to get you to the Doctor as soon as we can. We need to find a bigger place . We need to get a crib . Oh my I'm going to be a Dad." Ty was out of breath and getting lite headed so Amy sat him down on the ground before he passed out.
Casey and the girls heard Ty's yee-haw and came over to see what the fuss was all about. Amy told them Ty was just excited about you girls getting a chance to sell your horses. Amy could tell Casey wasn't buying that story but she played along anyway.
"I think we have a deal but the girls wanted to make sure it was okay with you first. I'll give them $9000.00 cash each. If they want to leave them with me to get a higher price I'll charge them 250.00 a week room and board." Casey explained
"I'd take the cash girls." Amy told them. Tara would you please drive my truck back to Heartland. Ty, I think is still kind of lite headed, so I'll drive his truck back. Let me get my things out first. Casey we'll see you tonight."
The girls went to go get their horses to bring them over the the trailer. They needed to unsaddle them and put the saddles away in the trailer. As they walked away and were far enough away Casey looked at Ty and Amy, "You're pregnant aren't you?" She asked
"Yes, I just found out while the girls were showing you the horses. We are going to announce it at dinner tonight, so please don't say anything to anyone." Amy asked
"Congratulation and my lips are sealed."
As Amy and Ty headed back to Heartland, Amy filled Ty in on what Dr. Virani had told her. "I was also thinking that we are going to Hawaii in about two and a half months. Which means I will have a little baby bump and that bikini you bought me just won't look as good as I want. So what do you think if we go next week instead? You will be done with your tests and it will be nice to get away for a couple of weeks."
"Sounds like you have plan. I like it and that would mean we'd should be back about the same time as the foals are do. Lets do it." Ty told her.
It was a festive time at dinner that evening. The family all fell in love with Casey. The girls had put together a scrapbook for Amy and a video of their time together, which caused Amy to cry.
Lou and Lisa were getting up to get desert when Ty stood to make their announcement. "Everyone if Amy and I could have your attention for a moment we have a few things we need to say. First off since the girls are leaving tomorrow, Amy and I moved up our trip to Hawaii. We are leaving next week. There are two reason for that one being we should be here for a new foals and the second reason is if we wait until December as we had originally planed Amy would be showing to much and the bikini I had bought her would look kind of weird."
Everyone agreed with their reasoning. As Lou and Lisa were walking into the kitchen Lisa stopped and grabbed Lou arm, "Did Ty say showing to much?" Lou let out a gasp that surprised Tim.
"What Lou?" Tim asked with a puzzled look.
Lou and Lisa both look at Amy who is smiling from ear to ear. "Yes, Ty and I are expecting."
The excitement in the room was special. Lisa had to go to Jack side to confront him as tears streamed down his weathered cheek. Casey had to give Tim a firm shake to snap him out of his trance. The girls were in tears. Lou was speechless but elated. There were congratulations from everyone. Even Tim was happy for them and told them how proud he was of them.
Ten days later Ty and Amy were lying side by side on the beach, watching the sunset. The day had been an eventful one with a trail ride and a swim in the ocean as well as one on their trail ride into the mountains at a beautiful waterfall. The two hadn't said much to each other for a couple of day. Each one knew the other had things on their minds and when the time was right they would talk. This evening was that time.
"So Hon, I've been thinking about what Victor said back in Pike River and if you decide that is what you want to do, I'm behind you all the way." Ty told her.
Amy had tears building in her eyes as she looked at the love of her life. "Ty I have been thinking about that very thing these last couple of days. I have a plan that I think will work. Since the baby is do the first week of June, I'd like to get 5 mustangs this year. You and Caleb can do the join-ups as I supervise.
By the first of August I should be ready to help break them. What do you think?" Amy asked as she leans over to kiss him on the cheek.
Ty simply smiled as he replied, "Sounds like a plan to me."
Epilogue:
Ty and Amy's lived that plan for the next 42 years. In that time they had 3 boys, Tucker, Toby and Tanner and the youngest was Amber, Ty's little princess. Those four had blessed them with 7 grand children and a great grandchild do in 6 months.
Amy's reputation had grown that when the Canadian Legislature needed help wording or getting a bill passed that would help the wild herds she was the first person they called. She helped set up sanctuaries across Canada and the US.
Ty was one of the best horse surgeons in all North America. His and Scott's Clinic was considered the best place in Canada to be an apprentice.
The two were an inspiration to all that knew them. But the most important thing was that they were an inspiration to each other, everyday. The End
