Chapter 11

Hey. It's back to the normal pov. Enjoy!

Amy was down by the lake with Spartan when she realised 3 months had passed already. They went really quick and Amy realised there was only 1 month left. It was the 17th December. It was 8 days until Christmas. She decided to ride back to Heartland.

"Come on Spartan, boy. Let's go." she swung into the saddle and cantered back to Heartland.

She let Spartan out into the paddock and then went to get Alano, Beatriz and Harley. She got to Beatriz's stall first.

"Hey girl. You gonna come out with Spartan? Yeah? Yeah? Good girl."

Then she got to Alano's stall.

"Hey boy. How you doing? I miss Ty too. Yes I do. Come on. Lets go and put you with Spartan and Beatriz. Yeah?"

Finally, she reached Harley's stall. He looked at her, his eyes sparkling. Amy thought it was weird that a few weeks ago, he had colic. She was so glad he was back to his normal self.

"Hey Harley. How you feeling boy? You look a load better. We did it. We got through it. For Ty. Lets go let you out with your buddies." she led him out. And sat on the fence. She walked back into the barn and felt a sharp pain. The baby was coming.

"GRANDPA!" Amy screamed. He soon came out of the office.

"What?" he asked. Amy looked down at the puddle on the floor. Jack walked to her and to the truck. They got to the hospital in about 30 minutes. Amy was screaming now. Jack looked at her. She had pain written all over her face. They soon got shown to a room.

She had been there for 1 hour.

"Come on Amy. I can see the head." One of the midwives said. Amy looked at Jack.

"I can't do it." she whispered.

"Yes you can, Amy. Come on hun." he said to her.

"I miss Ty." she whispered, looking up at him.

"I know. I know." after another 30 minutes, the baby was out.

"It's a girl." one of the midwives said. Amy smiled weakly.

A few days later, she was allowed out of the hospital. She was so pleased to be home. She got out of the truck and carried the baby in. she got to the living room and sat down. She held the baby to herself. Lou soon came in and sat down next to her. Amy handed the baby to her. Lou took her and smiled. Amy smiled.

"Maddie, right?" Lou asked.

"Yep. Me and Ty were talking about it a few months ago, before all of this and he said he'd like the name Maddie. So that's her name. I decided on Marion being the middle name though." Amy explained. Lou nodded.

"She was a month early, wasn't she?" Lou looked at Amy.

"Yeah." Amy answered. "I just wish Ty could be here." Amy sighed.

"Oh, Amy. If you want to go and see him, I'll stay here." Lou offered.

"Um, I would like to go but I think I'll wait until tomorrow. I've had enough of hospitals!"

"Yeah, I know the feeling." they sat in silence for a bit. Soon it was supper. After supper, she sat with everyone else for a bit. After about an hour Amy said,

"I think I might go to bed."

"OK. We'll put Maddie to bed when we are done." Jack said, passing Maddie to Lou. Amy had refused to invite Tim around.

"Thank you." she said and went upstairs. When she got to her room, she felt a few tears spill down her cheeks. "I want Ty back." She whispered to no one. "Please wake up soon Ty."

She soon got to sleep after a lot of trying, she had to much on her mind. She didn't know when Jack and Lou bought Maddie up. She didn't hear them.

An hour after Amy had gone back to sleep, Lou took Maddie upstairs and put her to bed. Then she went to check on Amy. She smiled as she saw Amy asleep. She went to her room and soon fell asleep.
