Chapter 3

They were both lying underneath the covers, holding each other. Neither of them knew that this was going to happen…

"Okay… that was… erm… unexpected," Ty stuttered.

"I know… but a good unexpected right?" Amy asked nervously.

"Yeah, I mean, it was amazing, an amazing unexpected," Ty replied, more confidently.

Amy looked up and smiled at him, "Good, it was the same for me too."

Amy lay her head back down on his chest and started drawing circles tracing patterns over him, while he played with the ends of her hair. They both wanted to say more, but they just weren't sure what. They both knew that they loved each other, but were scared of what those three words would do.

After a while longer, Amy looked up at the clock and saw that it was almost midnight, she sighed and said, "I am going to have to go inside… grandpa will go mad if he knew I was out here this late…"

"Oh, okay… Are you ok?" Ty asked, sitting up and passing her her clothes.

She sat up and put on her vest and jeans and turned around, "I am… I'm ok, I don't regret what we have done. I really don't… I just need to get over to the house before grandpa comes up here with his shot gun, or even worse his machete," Amy joked, walking around to Ty's side of the bed and sitting down, she took his hand in hers, "I promise you, I am fine. How are you?"

Ty smiled, "I'm good. Now here," he said passing her one of his hoodies, "It's cold outside. Now go, before Jack gets his machete! I have grown quite attached to all of my limbs!" he joked.

"Thank you, but one more thing," She said standing up, she leant down and gave him a kiss, "I will see you tomorrow."

"Alright, see you, tomorrow. Good night Amy." Ty replied.

"Night Ty," She said, walking out of the loft and down the stairs. Ty lay back down, he couldn't believe what had just happened. He knew that he hadn't forced her or anything, and with all of the tension between them lately, it was going to happen sooner or later. They had gotten close before they broke up, but every chance they had got to be alone, someone interrupted them. He sighed and thought to himself I wish I had told her that I loved her… He made a decision and grabbed his phone that was on the bedside cabinet and opened it up. He opened it up and went to the texts, he opened up the new message page and wrote 'Just want to tell you, I love you xxx'

Meanwhile, back at the house, Lou and Peter were both asleep on the couch when Amy got in, she thought everyone would be in bed so she crept through the living room, but the movement caused Lou to wake up, "Hey what time is it?" she asked yawning.

"Erm nearly 12, sorry for being so long, we just had some things we needed to talk through…" Amy replied.

"Oh no, im not bothered about that, so, how did it go? Are you guys back together?" Lou pried.

"Erm, I am not quite sure, we have talked and stuff but we haven't really spoke about getting back together per se, but we have talked some stuff through." Amy replied, she yawned, "I am going to go to bed, shouldn't you two considering the baby will probably keep you awake?"

"Oh, but you two are good again though?" Lou asked, she had hoped that they were back together.

"Yeah. We are good," Amy smiled, turning a slight shade of red, "Right good night, I am going to go to bed."

"Okay, I am glad you are good, good night." Lou replied, Amy walked through to her room and Lou woke Peter up, "Come on honey, Amy is back now, we should go to bed."

Peter rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Oh okay, wow I am tired!"

They both stood up and went into their bedroom, "She is still sleeping," Lou whispered.

"I wonder how long for… come on, lets try and get back to sleep," Peter replied getting into bed.

"You know, there was something different with Amy when she walked in, she said they were good but something seemed slightly off," Lou said.

Peter chuckled, "God, you don't half worry sometimes! She will be fine, and I am sure Ty will be too. They are probably just taking things slow and getting to grips with each other again. You, need to stop worrying!"

"I know, I know, but I hate seeing her so sad and upset. These past few months have been so hard for me, seeing her hurt like she has, same with Ty. He is literally a member of the family now; I just hope they are ok." Lou sighed.

"Honey, they will be fine, now let's go to sleep, night hun," Peter said.

"Night babe," Lou replied sleepily.

Elsewhere, Amy was lying in bed, thinking about everything that had just happened, what she had told Ty was true, she didn't regret anything that had just happened. She too had regrets about the way they left it though, she wished more than anything that she had said that she loved him. She sighed, but her phone had kept buzzing she begrudgingly got up and walked over to her desk and picked it up. She read the text from Ty and she smiled, it was obvious he had been feeling the same as she had. She decided to text him back, 'I love you too. We are going to be okay aren't we? xxx'

She put her phone down on the side, not thinking she would get a text back tonight, seeing as it was getting late and it was likely that he was asleep already.

Ty was just drifting off to sleep when his phone went off, he opened it and was surprised at what it said, he knew Amy loved him but as she asked, were they going to be ok? So much stuff had happened recently, he didn't know. But he was willing to try, he decided to text her back, because he knew she would be worrying, just as he had been, 'We will be ok. I am going to make sure of it. Now get some sleep, you are up in 6 hours, upside in that is that you get to see my beautiful face ;) Good night Amy xxx'. He put his phone on the side and made sure his alarm was set, he rolled onto his side, looking at the empty space beside him. Not too long ago, it had been occupied by Amy, and he couldn't wish for anything else in the world than to have her there, right beside him. He sighed and closed his eyes, and eventually he fell into a peaceful sleep. He was one happy man, and he hoped that Amy too, felt the same way.

Amy read Ty's text and smiled, even if they weren't fully ok yet, they were slowly getting back to normal. She still had his hoodie on because it reminded her of him, and still smelt of him, plus it was nice and warm so she needed it! She closed her eyes and instantly fell into a deep sleep, this was the best she had felt in the past couple of months. Her peaceful sleep was soon interrupted by the screaming of Lou and Peter's baby, Amy turned over to see it was 1:06am. She groaned and rolled back over, she lay on her side and put a pillow over her head, to try and muffle the sounds. Luckily, she was so tired, it seemed to have worked.

"Here we go. Just when I thought we could sleep a good couple of hours." Lou groaned sitting up and walking over to pick the baby up, "She must be hungry." She mentioned so she lifted her top up and let her feed. Peter turned over and looked uncomfortable, "Erm… do you want me to look away?"

"Peter, this is the most natural thing in the world! I am giving our daughter food; I am not bothered if you see me!" Lou exclaimed, laughing a little.

"Yeah, I know but I didn't know whether you would feel uncomfortable or not. Have you thought of any more names?" He asked.

"Actually, I have. What about Bristol?" Lou asked, but then shook her head, "No, not Bristol, it sounded better in my head. Have you thought of any?"

"Surprisingly enough, yes I have. I love the name Katie, but I don't think that should be a full name if you get me?" he asked.

"Katie, hmm… I love that too, what about Kathryn? K-A-T-H-R-Y-N. That's different, but the name Katie would go with that as a nick name." Lou suggested.

"I love it. Hello little Kathryn, or Katie, as you will be known as," Peter cooed, taking her from Lou to burp her while Lou readjusted her shirt. Once he had burped her, he cradled her in his arms and rocked her gently to sleep, "Yeah, Katie, I like that." Lou whispered, kissing Peter's cheek. They both sat and watched as Katie slowly fell asleep. Once she was fully asleep, Peter got out of bed and put her in the basinet and he to, crawled back into bed. Lou lay with her head on his chest and sighed, "This has been the happiest day of my life. It really has. I can't wait for out life to start properly."

"Neither can I," Peter sighed, they both quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.

Amy's alarm went off at 6:30am, she rolled over and groaned 'it can't be 6:30 already' she thought to herself while turning the alarm off. She decided to go and get some coffee before she got dressed because she knew Jack would have a pot on ready for them all. She rolled out of bed and walked through to the kitchen, "Good morning grandpa," She groaned.

Jack eyed her wearily and was shocked at the fact she had on Ty's hoodie, "What time did you come in last night?" he asked.

"Oh just before midnight, we were talking about everything and we were doing night check and when I was coming over, it was cold, so he leant me his hoodie. That is all." Amy said, realising the look on Jack's face.

Jack looked at her and said, "Alright then, I believe you. I do trust the pair of you. Did you manage to sort things out?"

"Well, we talked through everything and cleared the air, so in that sense, we have sorted things out. But please can I get some coffee! I am really tired!" Amy exclaimed, "You're lucky you are on the other end of the house!"

Jack chuckled, "I know, I really am aren't i? But go ahead, get some coffee. I have to go somewhere with your father today, so I will be out. Mallory will most likely be over at some point. We had to literally stop her from coming over to see you two last night, she was going to be mediator but we all stopped her."

Amy poured herself a coffee, 'thank god they stopped Mallory from coming over, who knows what she could have walked in on' Amy thought to herself, "Oh thanks Grandpa, yeah you know what she is like, probably would have just made things worse. Right I am going to go and get dressed, I need to go and do morning feeds."

"Okay, I will get some muffins ready for you, take one for Ty as well." Jack suggested.

"Thank you grandpa, we don't have a lot to do today, we might go on a trail ride, unless you have anything you want us to do?" Amy asked.

"No, I don't have anything I need you to do, plus, if you two are out it will give Lou and Peter some time together with the new baby. Mallory will probably leave if you two aren't here, so that may be a bonus for them as well," Jack laughed.

Amy shook her head and laughed, "Right, I am actually going to go and get dressed now."

She walked through to her room and got dressed. She kept Ty's hoodie in her room as she now had decided that it was hers for the keeping. He should know by now not to give her his clothes, because he won't get it back. She threw on a shirt over her vest top and walked back into the kitchen. Jack had got two muffins out and a thermos with coffee in, "Here, take him some coffee as well. I will come and tell you before I am leaving. See you in a bit." He said passing her everything.

"Thank you grandpa." Amy replied, she opened the door and walked over to the barn.

She opened the barn door and saw that there had been no movement downstairs, she left the muffins on the desk in the office, and walked up the old wooden stairs up to the loft. She walked inside to see Ty lying there with his arms behind his head, she walked over to him and sat down on the bed. She reached out and stroked his face, "Morning sleepy head," she said softly.

Ty jerked awake, "What time is it?" he yawned.

"A little after 7, looks like you have slept through your alarm." Amy laughed.

"Oh crap! I am sorry! I was just so… tired! How are you though?" he asked.

"Tired, the baby woke me up 4 times… Why don't you get dressed and meet me downstairs, I have coffee and muffins waiting in the office?" She said.

"Ooo, breakfast and coffee ey? Thank you." Ty laughed, leaning up and giving her a kiss. Amy smiled and walked downstairs and started the chores.

Ty came down not long later and walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, "Now, where are these muffins and where is this coffee I have been told about?" He whispered into her ear. She leant back into his hold and dropped the shovel of feed into the bucket, "Oh it's in the office. Do you want to go and eat and drink in there?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, sure. Come on then Miss Fleming," Ty said, holding her hand and walking into the office, he sat down on the old chair and pulled her down onto his lap. They sat and ate their breakfast in peace, exchanging in a light conversation, both avoiding the subject of what went on the night prior.
