Chapter 6
The following morning, Ty woke up to Amy's back pressed against his bare chest. He propped himself up on his elbow and looked at the peaceful look on the face of his beautiful girlfriend. When he looked at the clock and saw it was 6:00a.m, he decided to let Amy sleep in. Ty got up carefully and quietly walked down the stairs.
''Mia, baby, wake up,'' Ty said, gently shaking Amy, who groaned in response, but slowly opened her eyes.
''You made breakfast?'' Amy asked, a small smile gracing her lips.
''I did,'' Ty replied, leaning down to kiss Amy's forehead, ''And I did the morning chores,'' he continued smugly.
''Did I ever tell you that you're amazing?'' Amy asked as she sat up on the bed.
''Maybe once or twice,'' Ty grinned as he handed her a plate of crêpes with Nutella and a side of fresh strawberries.
When Amy finished her gourmet breakfast, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. What she didn't know was that Ty was staring at her backside...
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Amy rushed out of the bathroom to put on a pair of sweat pants while Ty scurried around to the room to find a t-shirt. Then they ran down the stairs and dashed to the front door. When they opened the door, they were surprised to see Scott. Holding a little King Shepherd puppy.
''Hey Scott,'' Amy greeted, ''come in,'' she continued as Ty opened the door more.
''Hey Amy, hi Ty,'' Scott said as he made his way into the house.
''Hey Scott,'' Ty smiled.
''What's going on?'' Amy asked as she looked at the puppy and then back at Scott.
''Well, I was wondering if you want to keep her?'' Scott asked cautiously, ''I already talked to Marion and Jack about it and they have no problem with it,'' he continued.
''Really?'' Amy's eyes lit up, ''Of course I want to keep her! But I have a question... Why do you have a King Shepherd puppy?''
''Well... Somebody dropped her off at the clinic with a note that said to find her a good home, and I couldn't think of a better place. Her name's Remi,'' Scott informed them, ''I have some dog food and other stuff in the truck, oh and I gave her all the necessary vaccinations,'' he remembered.
''Thanks Scott,'' Amy smiled as she reached for Remi. Scott gave her to Amy with hesitation.
''Oh, since I'm already here, I'm going to go check on Spartan's leg, okay?'' Scott said.
''Sure, thanks Scott!'' Amy responded.
''Scott and I are going to get the stuff from the truck, okay Mia?'' Ty questioned.
''Okay,'' Amy looked up at him and smiled, then she look back at Remi kissed her head. ''You're going to love it here Remi,'' Amy said to Remi in a soft voice, ''I promise.''
When Ty walked back into the house with his hands full of supplies for puppies, he found Amy sitting on the floor with Remi laying on her back while Amy rubbed her belly.
''Scott said Spartan should be able to go into the field in a few days,'' Ty said as her sat behind Amy, his arms winding around her waist.
''That's good, he's so miserable being in the barn all day and night, we should go visit him later,'' Amy replied as she leaned into him.
''We will,'' Ty murmured kissing her forehead.

Amy and Ty were cuddled up in bed with Remi at their feet.
''Can we please watch the 'Grey's Anotomy' replay on CTV from Thursday, pretty please?'' Amy batted her eyelashes at Ty.
''Okay, okay! You win!'' Ty caved in, then he cupped Amy's cheek and pressed lips agaisnt hers.
''What was that?'' Amy mumbled against his lips as she played with the hair at the nape of his neck.
''I said,'' Ty said, '' you won,'' between kisses. He then wrapped his second arm around Amy and pulled her onto his lap.
Amy straddled Ty's lap and pulled him closer to her. When oxygen became a need, Ty preceeded to kiss Amy's neck, and continued until he reacher her collarbone, which he sucked and nipped until he created a mark. His mark.
''Ty,'' Amy moaned quietly. Ty smirked against her skin and kissed lower while his hands moved under her tank top. However, he pulled away when he heard Remi whimper. Amy groaned is disapproval and pouted at him. Remi whimpered again. Ty looked around trying to find her. Amy climbed off his lap and they both got out of bed to search for Remi.
''Ty! I found her!'' Amy called a second later.
Ty truned around to see Amy stnading by the door, looking down the stairs.
''She climbed down the stairs, but doesn't know how to get back up!'' Ty laughed.
Amy walked down the stairs and picked Remi up. However, when she was nearing to top of the staircase, she put Remi down again.
''Call her,'' Amy suggested to Ty.
Ty did as he was told and called Remi, ''C'mon Remi! Come here!'' he said, ''That's it!'' he continued as Remi hesitentaly put a paw on the next step, ''Come 'ere Princess! You can do it!'' he urged.
''Princess?'' Amy busted out in a fit of giggles.
Ty continued to call Remi, and kept encouraging her to take another step up the stairs.
''Mia, look!'' he exclaimed excitedly.
Amy looked at Remi just to see her climbing up the stairs slowly, but with a very small amount of hesitation. She slowly began making her own way up the stairs, but never passed Remi out in case she slipped. ''Well done Remi! Good girl!'' Amy praised, then she scratched Remi behind her left ear. She looked at Ty a minute later and said, ''C'mon, we're going to miss it!'' as she got up with Remi in her arms and pulled Ty into her room.
Ty internally groaned but followed Amy. He sat against the headboard and waited until Amy cuddled into his side, then he pulled the duvet around them. Amy placed Remi on her lap atop of the duvet and kissed Ty's cheek.
''Wait who the hell is Penny?!'' Ty exclaimed. ''And who is she?! She's such a bitch! Babe, how do you not hate half of these characters?''
''Ehm, I do,'' Amy admitted, ''but there are a lot of other characters that I like.'' Ty smiled at her sweetly.
''You lost your husband?! Well she lost a brother!'' Ty yelled at the TV, then huffed.
''Ty, calm down, it's a show,'' Amy brought her hand up to the top of Ty's head and played with his hair.
''I guess... OH MY GOD! WHAT A BITCH!'' Ty screamed at the TV when Meredith yelled at Amelia.
Amy couldn't take Ty's ranting anymore so she quickly leaned up and kissed him, and even though Ty was caught of guard he returned the kiss passionately. When Amy pulled away, Ty pouted, causing her to laugh. She kissed his cheek and snuggled back into his side to watch the rest of the episode, luckily they didn't miss much since ads were on.
''I still can't get over the moment between Owen and Amelia toward the end! It was so beautiful,'' Amy exlaimed, ''But Penny...''
''Let's not go to Penny,'' Ty chuckled, ''And yes, that Owen and Amelia scene was amazing,'' he kissed Amy's hair.
Both Amy and Ty got out of bed and went downstairs.
''Okay, so we'll have lunch and then we're going to go for a walk with Rem?'' Amy asked.
''Sounds good to me!'' Ty agreed, ''now, you two go back upstairs and get comfy, no buts,'' he ordered as he got to work.
''Okay, okay,'' Amy laughed as she walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs, Remi right by her side.
When she got to her room, Remi lay down on the rug and Amy went into the bathroom to bursh her hair. After that was done, she placed Remi on the bed and sat down next to her. Amy reached for her phone and took a selfie with Remi and sent it to Lou on Facebook Meesenger with the caption 'We've got a new addition to the family! Scott brought her over. She's called Remi :) .She's 15 weeks old, and the most adorable thing ever! Don't ya think?' Lou replied almost immedietly, saying 'She's so cute!.. And there's my cue, Bella's crying, I'll text u later! Btw, I'm coming home on Wed :)' Amy laughed and just replied with 'Okay :P' before putting her phone down and rubbing Remi's belly.
Soon Ty came up with heated up leftover Chinese from the provious night and then they tucked into their meal.

Amy clipped the leash to Remi's collar and walked down the porch steps with skip in her step. She played with Remi in the garden until Ty came outside.
''C'mon Borden! I haven't got all day to wait around for ya!'' she teased.
''Oh shush you,'' Ty laughed as her caught up with her.
They interlaced their fingers and walked down the path that led to the lake. After a few minutes Amy decided to take Remi off the leash to see how she does without it. Surprisingly, she did very well!
''Can we stop by the barn?'' Amy asked on their way back.
''Why is this question such a surprise?'' Ty said sarcastically. ''Of course we can,'' he said softly before kissing Amy's hair. Amy looked up at him and grinned.
''How 'bout we teach you to sit, Rem?'' Amy asked the dog as she and Ty strolled to the barn hand in hand. When the question left her mouth, Remi stopped walking, turned around and tilted her head to the side. ''Yeah, you like that?'' Amy asked her.
In response, Remi walked up to her and Ty and rubbed her head on Amy's jean clad thigh. Amy and Ty both chuckled in respose, then Ty said, ''C'mon Remi!'' as they started walking again. Suddenly his phone chimed in his pocket. He took it out with free hand to see that his mom texted him, ''Hi sweetie, I thought I'd bring you and Ames some dinner :) How does lasange sound?''
''Babe, do you want lasange for dinner,'' he asked Amy.
''Is that even a question?'' Amy joked, ''of course I do!'' Ty grinned at her before looking back at the phone and replying; ''Sounds great! Thanks :)''
Lily replied quickly, ''Great! I'll be over at around 5:30 :) Lee might tag along too''
Ty smiled at the phone, then texted back, ''Okay, thanks mom! Love you :)''
''Mom's going to bring over dinner at around 5:30,'' Ty informed.
''Awesome! I love your mom's cooking!'' Amy grinned.
''Mia, you love food in general!'' Ty teased her.
''Oi! Watch it!'' Amy playfully punched him in the arm.
In response Ty wrapped both of his arms around her waist and picked her up, spinning them around.
''Ty!'' Amy screamed out through her laughter.
''You gotta say you're sorry first!'' Ty excalimed before his fingers attacked her sides causing Amy to only laugh harder.
''I-I'm so-r-ry!'' Amy said breathlessly.
''What was that?'' Ty asked, his hands resting on her hips.
''I said, that I'm sorry,'' Amy said with a straight face, her ice blue eyes looking right into Ty's green ones.
Instead of saying anything, Ty gently pulled Amy's chin up and kissed her. Amy wrapped her arms around Ty's neck as their tongues dueled together.
''You still want to see Spartan?'' Ty asked when the kiss was broken. Amy nodded eagerly in response. ''Then what are you waiting for?!'' he said as he grabbed her hand and took of to the barn. Remi hot at his heels.
Amy had trouble keeping up, and when they finally reached the barn, she was completely out of breath. ''Whoa! You gotta stop doing that!'' Amy said when her breathing went back to normal. She walked over to Spartan's stall and began talking to him softly. ''I know you want to be outside with your friends boy, but just a few more days until Scott says it's okay,'' she said as she rubbed two of her fingers againts Spartan's neck in a circular motion.
Ty watched her in admiration but left the barn quietly when Paint walked up the the gate of the field situated behind the barn and nickered softly.
''Hey Paint,'' Ty greeted soflty and rubbed his head.
Suddenly he felt two thin arms wrap aroudn his waist and a pair of lips against his shoulder blade.
''I want to show you something,'' Amy murmured into his shoulder, ''Hey buddy,'' she said to Paint and gave him a mint.
''What is it?'' Ty asked curiously.
''C'mon, I'll show you,'' Amy said taking him by the hand and leading him back into the barn.
She picked Remi up and brought her over to Spartan. Remi slowly stood in Amy's arms and wrapped her front legs around Spartan's head gently. Spartan wickered softly and rubbed his nose against Remi's belly, causing her to lay on her back in Amy's arms. Ty's arms were wrapped around Amy's waist and his head was resting on her shoulder as he watched the interaction between dog and horse.
''That's so sweet!'' he murmured into Amy's neck,''I don't know which one's cuter!''
''Neither do I! It's like she knows she has to be careful, but like Spartan knows she's only a baby!'' Amy replied leaning into him. ''Let's go home,'' she said as she looked at Ty.
Before they left, Amy kissed Spartan's nose and told him they'll be back later.
''Hi Lily,'' Amy greeted, giving the older woman a hug.
''Hi sweetie,'' Lily said, hugging her tight. ''Where's Ty?''
''He'll be down in a minute,'' Amy smiled, ''Hey Lee,'' she said to Ty's eight year old brother.
''Hi Amy,'' he replied shyly.
''Come 'ere,'' she laughed, giving him a big hug.
Lily smiled at the interaction between her older son's girlfriend and her little boy, knowing fully well that Amy will always be a part of their family.
''Hey mom, hi Lee,'' Ty said as he walked into the kitchen. ''What are you smiling at?'' he teased him mom.
''Hi J!'' Lee exclaimed, running over to Ty – who picked him up and swung him in a circle.
''Hey Ty,'' Lily greeted, ''Nothing fo you to worry about!'' she exclaimed in answer to his previous question.
''Thank you for bringing dinner over Lily,'' Amy said, geturing to the medium sized glass baking dish on the counter with her hand.
''Oh you're very welcome!'' Lily laughed, ''I can't let the two of you starve, besides, I know how much you two love lasagne!''
''We love food mom,'' Ty laughed.
In the mean time, Remi slowly but surely made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen after the commotion woke her up. She hid shyly behind Amy and Ty, her head poking out by Ty's feet.
''Who's this?'' Lily asked.
''This,'' Amy picked Remi up, ''is Remi. Scott brought her over earlier,'' she smiled.
''She's so cute,'' Lee said gently, ''can I pet her?''
''Of course you can!'' Amy told him. Lee slowly came over to Amy and scratched Remi behind the ear.
''She's really nice,'' he smiled.
''She is,'' Amy smiled back at him.
''She's adorable Amy. Are you keeping her?'' Lily asked.
''I am,'' Amy replied proudly. ''Scott already passed it with Mom and Grandpa before he brought her over, so I don't have to worry about that at least.''
''That's great! She's going to love it here!'' Lily said happily, loving the look on Amy's face when she spoke about Remi.
''Mom, can we go now? I'm hungry,'' Lee looked at his mother.
''I guess that's my cue,'' Lily smiled apologetically, ''Enjoy dinner.''
''We will,'' Amy smiled, ''Bye Lee, see you tomorrow Lily.''
''Bye lil bro,'' Ty said, messing up Lee's hair,'' See you tomorrow mom,'' he smiled.
Amy and Ty watched through the kitchen window as Lily drove her truck away from the ranch house.
''Let's go eat,'' Ty said, kissing Amy softly.
