Infamous Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters

Ty looked at Amy sitting on the other side of the big table. Everyone was gathered for dinner and was eating happily. Amy and one of the hands were talking but he noticed something different about her. She was eating a lot more than she normally would and...Ty could pinpoint the others. Something was off with her. Ty ate the rest of his dinner but watched Amy out of the corner of his eyes the whole time. He began to think about the Gang. It was just about a month ago that the telegram came. Maybe they are not coming. God that would be a miracle. I will go riding with her tomorrow. I will have to ask Clint tonight. Maybe then I can find out what's wrong with her.

Dinner was over and Amy got up. She was walking upstairs when her father stopped her.

"Amy darling where are you going? Surely you are not tired?" He asked. Amy froze and bit her lip. She turned to him

"Yes, I am afraid I am not feeling the best. I wish to go to bed and sleep it off" Amy said to him

"Alright, feel better darling, Ty will be taking you out with him to look at some horses to buy tomorrow" Clint said looking at Amy. Her face was flushed and she was very tired lately. Clint said goodnight and went to start a poker game with the hands.

Amy walked up the stairs. She had been avoiding Ty because she was afraid she would blurt out that they were having a baby. It made everything harder. She would never want to take back the baby, she loved it already. She lay in her bed thinking off a plan to tell Ty. He would want to marry her. Amy knew he cared about her but she didn't want the marriage just to be about that baby. She didn't want him to feel pressured to marry her just so the baby would have a mother and a father. Marriage had to be based on love not a baby tying two people together forever. She didn't even know if he loved her yet. She sighed and made up her mind. She would try to tell him tomorrow and hope that he loved her like she loved him. She drifted off.

Four men rode into the small town on Tijeras, Texas. They had lathered horses and were dirty and stinky. The leader dismounted and paid the livery boy to take care of the horses. They four men walked down the streets to the only hotel grinning. Their boots kicked up dust behind them and people and horses moved out of their way.

"Four rooms and four baths" the tall burly man said to the hotel manager.

"That will be eight dollars" the manager said in a small voice. Just by looking at these men he realized they were not to be messed with. The man handed over the money and the manager handed him the keys to the rooms. The four men walked up to steps to the rooms.

Half an hour later the four men walked out of the barber shop. They had gotten shaves and haircuts. Dressed in new clothes and clean from baths they looked completely different but they still had those evil smirks on their face.

Ty got Justine ready, her leg had healed perfectly. He looked up to see Amy standing in the stable door smiling at him. Ty straightened up and walked towards her. Amy smiled and he hugged her.

" I missed you" he said

" you have seen me every day" Amy looked up at him

" we haven't talked in awhile. what's up?"Ty asked smoothing her hair.

" not here Ty, later" Amy said looking away. Ty frowned and looked at her.

" let's get going then" Ty picked her up by the stomach and set her on Justine. Amy gasped and cringed. " what's wrong?" Ty quickly pulled back. Amy laid a hand on her stomach.

"M..M.. My stomach just hurts. " Amy stuttered. she hoped he couldn't tell she was lying. He could. Ty glared up at her.

"fine lie to me but as soon as we get out of here I'm going to get answers." he snapped and mounted Goliath. Amy hated lying to Ty but it was best. Ty rode out in front of her. He had roped tied to his saddle, about five. For the horses Amy thought. They rode silently for awhile. Amy could see she unsettled Ty. He rode stiff in the saddle and didn't look at her.

"So who are we getting the horses from?" Amy asked him after a very long time

"The Madison's" Ty said sharply. Amy sighed

"Ty...I" She bit her lip losing her confidence

"What you ready to tell me why you're lying to me?"Ty snapped and pulled Goliath to a stop. Amy stopped too and looked down at the saddle." well?" Ty said

"I...I'm" Amy gulped and looked up at him but didn't meet his gaze.

"What Amy? You have never lied to me. What's so important that you can't tell me!" Ty raged.

"Dad will be mad and send me away!"Amy said

"Why would he do that? Amy what is the matter, you have looked like heck these past days and have been avoiding me. Tell me!" Ty yelled frantically. He didn't like this. The news was big, he could feel it.

Amy yelled "I'm having a..." And that was all the further she got before a loud bang! Pierced the air and she fell into the dirt. Ty screamed but he too fell off his horse at the force of a speeding bullet.

Rollins grinned and watched Doc and Max shove their pistols back into their holsters. Amy and Ty's horses ran off leaving them both on the ground. Rollins jumped off and walked over to Ty. He rolled Ty over with his boot and smiled.

"Good job Doc" He sneered happily. Her left Ty fall face first back onto the ground. Jeb laughed

"They didn't even hear us. They were yelling too loud. "He looked at Amy lying on the ground

"You didn't kill her right?" Jeb asked Max

"Yeah, I just knocked her shoulder a bit." Max said picking Amy up. He shoved the hair that was covering her face aside and smiled "dang! She's a pretty little gal. How in the world did Ty pen her up?" Rollins walked over and lifted her face to the sun.

"She's that Fleming gal. Sure grew up though" He said "bandage the wound Jeb. We have to ride out quickly "The men did as told and soon they were riding away with Amy and leaving Ty to die.

Amy slowly regained consciousness. Her head was spinning and her vision was blurry but she could hear voices. She tried to figure out where she was. She could feel rope around her hands and a very sharp sting in her shoulder. She bit her lip and tried to think. Then she remembered. The fight with Ty. She about to tell him about the baby and then someone shot her. Amy kept her eyes closed and her breathing slow. What happened to Ty? Where am I? Who has me?

"Hey baby doll! You're awake." A deep voice said then chuckled. She realized she was being held by a man. Her mind raced and she opened her eyes. The sun was setting and there was not much light but she could see the man holding her. Amy gasped and her eyes widened NO! She thought frantically. The man laughed, Rollins. Amy remembered his name.

"Guess you remember me. You shouldn't have any problem adjusting to living with us, you did it with Ty.

"Let go of me!" Amy snapped and tried to get free. She hated this man, all of them!

"Can't do that baby."Rollins grinned that evil grin of his. "We got a bank to rob" he kicked his horse faster. Amy looked over and tried to figure out where she was. She couldn't see anything familiar. Fear jolted trough her Ty! O h what happened to him? I was knocked out as soon as I hit the ground. What if they killed him?

"What did you do to Ty?" Amy asked softy dreading the answer.

Rollins laughed harshly "Dead baby doll, stone cold dead" Ty's Dead! No! It can't be! Even if I get away and my baby lives the baby will not have a father! With that Amy began to cry. Oh Ty! I never told you but I love you!
