Chapter 6
"Come on, Ty." Amy was now crying so much, she had soaked the grass below them. She didn't see Jack and Lou come out.
"Lou, go calm Spartan down. I'll go see Amy." Jack said as they started running to where Amy was knelt by Ty. Lou nodded and slowed down as she approached the rearing Spartan.
"Come on, Spartan. It's only me. Come on." Lou said, soothingly as she walked towards him. She was being careful not to get kicked or trampled on.
Jack kept running and knelt down by Amy.
"What happened?" He asked calmly as Amy leant against him, crying into his shirt.
"Chase and Kit happened. They tried to shoot Spartan but Ty jumped in front of the bullet." Amy explained quickly, her voice shaking with sobs.
Lou had grabbed Spartan's halter and was holding Spartan to the ground and was doing t touch the best she could. She found out that it was really hard to do it on a rearing horse! After a few minutes Spartan had calmed down enough for Lou to take him to his stall. Amy looked at her. She took a deep breath to try and stop her voice shaking so much. It failed.
"Lou. Could you stay with Spartan for a bit? I just want to make sure the drugs haven't messed with him too bad." Jack looked at Amy.
"What drugs?" He asked.
"Kit and Chase drugged Spartan to keep him calm while they shot him." Amy explained, feeling boiling tears prick her eyes again. She tried to hold them back but couldn't. They slid down her already soaked cheeks. Silently. Softly. Slowly.
Kit and Chase had pushed it way WAY too far this time. She heard Jack call an ambulance as she looked at the unconscious Ty. She bit down on her lip, trying not to cry, but she couldn't stop. The tears started running down her cheeks again and she watched as the paramedics got there and rushed Ty in the ambulance. Amy and Jack jumped into Jack's truck and followed them, Jack driving and Amy in the seat next to him letting the tears spill and not bothering to even try to stop them. She tried to stop them as the hospital came into view. She succeded.
They soon got to the hospital. They watched as the paramedics hurried Ty into the hospital. Amy and Jack sat in the truck for a while longer but then got out and slowly walked into the hospital. Amy wasn't sure if she wanted to go in but she knew it would hurt more if she didn't know how Ty was. Jack picked up on her uncertainty and put his arm around her. She leant against him and felt another few stray tears run down her cheeks. They carried on walking to the hospital, Jack's arm wrapped tightly around Amy and Amy leaning against him, a few tears still spilling slowly down her cheeks.
Of all times for this to happen, why now? Why when she was pregnant? Why when she had the best news in the world? Now she had to tell Jack, Soraya and Lou before Ty. She wasn't even sure she should tell Tim. He will probably blow up at her.
'I suppose he still has to know though.' Amy thought as they walked through the doors and into the waiting room.
She decided to tell Jack, Soraya and Lou her big news when she got home. It was easier then telling Jack in a hospital. She wasn't sure when to tell Tim since she really didn't want to tell him. They found two seats next to each other and sat down. Jack was looking and worrying about his youngest granddaughter. Amy was staring into space, deep in thought, another load of tears silently sliding down her now fairly dry cheeks as she sat silently, waiting for any news.
