Chapter 3

Amy rolled over to look at her clock. An hour before her alarm goes off. An hour.

'Well I'm not going to be able to get back to sleep now.' she thought. She got up, being careful not to wake Ty. She walked to the bathroom and had a quick shower. She got changed and then realised she had left her phone in her room. She crept back in and saw that Ty was still asleep. She smiled softly and crept out to the barn.

When she got down to the barn she started the feeds. She had done all the feeds, cleaned all the stalls and worked with Spirit and Rocky by the time Ty had come down to join her!

"Had a nice sleep?" Amy asked as she led Rocky back to his stall.

"Yeah. How early were you up?" Ty answered.

"1 hour." Amy replied as she shut the stall door. Ty shook his head,

"what's left to do then?"

"Alano and Muffin still need working." Amy answered, grinning innocently at him.

"Is that all?"

"pretty much. I was thinking we could go for a ride. I haven't ridden Spartan for ages."

"Sure. I'll go work with Muffin." Ty said and walked off before she could say no. she sighed and wondered what to do. She couldn't work with Alano until Ty was finished and she had done pretty much everything else. She decided to do a bit of jumping with Spartan so she could take Beatriz later. Then she got to exercise both of them.

About 45 minutes later, Ty was leading Muffin back into his stall. Amy looked out over Spartan's half – door.

"you ready to go work with Alano?" Amy asked. Ty shut Muffin's stall door.

"Sure." Ty answered. They walked to Alano's stall and looked in.

"Alano." Amy softly called. He turned and looked at them. He walked up to them and nuzzled Amy, keeping a wary eye on Ty. He then turned to Ty. Ty held out his hand and let Alano smell it. Alano smelt it and nuzzled his hand. Amy slowly and quietly slipped away to tack Beatriz up.

After a few minutes, Amy looked over the half door and saw Ty in Alano's stall. She walked out of Beatriz's stall and up to Alano's. She let herself into the stall and walked up to Ty. He looked at her and grinned as Alano whinnied.

"Decided to accept Ty, have we?" Amy said patting Alano and leaning against Ty as he put his arm around her. They gave Alano one final pat and then walked out. Ty went to tack Harley up while Amy went to get Beatriz. They met outside the barn and started riding towards the river.

When they got there, they hopped off their horses and let them graze. They walked over to the fallen tree trunk and sat down.

"I was thinking that we should maybe start planning the wedding soon." Ty said, turning to look at Ty.

"yeah. Sure. When do you want to start?" Amy asked, also turning to look at Ty.

"Well, I was thinking maybe later." Ty replied.

"Sure. We'll ask Lou to get the magazines out." Amy snuggled into Ty. They stayed there a bit longer and then decided to head back to Heartland.

When they got back, they asked Lou for the magazines. She gave the magazines to Amy and Ty, very pleased that they finally wanted to start planning. They started planning.

A few mornings later, Amy was up early again. She suddenly thought of something as she rolled over to face Ty. She smiled softly as she looked at his sleeping figure. She snuggled up to his chest, careful not to wake him too much. She felt him put his arm around her and pull her closer. She smiled in content and started drifting back to sleep.

An hour later, Amy's alarm beeped through her dreams and she felt Ty start to stir. She groaned as she reached over to turn it off. She rolled back over and snuggled into Ty. He put his arm around her.

"We should really get up." he whispered.

"But it's too cold to get up. It's even colder than usual." she moaned.

After a few more minutes, they decided to get up. Amy walked to the shower while Ty waited for her to finish.

While Ty was in the shower, Amy went back to the thought she had earlier that morning.

'what if I'm pregnant? What if I'm now pregnant? What if sleeping with Ty made me pregnant? Surely it can't be that fast, can it? It has been like 5 months now. Oh, I don't know!'

And then back in the room came Ty and Amy stopped thinking that thought and pushed it to the back of her mind, and bought the thought of the horses forward. Then they got on with their day.
