He had been working long hours with very little time for much else. Not even time to see Amy. The night she had found the ring was a distant memory, and he felt bad. Wanting to do something special to surprise her. Problem was, he didn't know what that was.
Amy was worried. It had been a few weeks since she had found the ring, and Ty had not said a word. She was beginning to wonder if he still wanted to get married. But they had both been busy, a few stolen moments to text was all they were cable of right now. She missed him more than ever.
Making his way to the ranch, he found her in the round pen. Watching her intently as she drove the horse around the pen, turning away when she saw the signs. Ty never tiring of watching her join up with a horse. It was magical.
She patted the horse, and talked softly as she led him to the gate. Ty jumping down to open it.
"Hey, what are doing here?" She asked, leaning in to brush his lips.
"I have a proposition for you." His eyebrows raising as his arms encircled her waist.
She cocked her head, a look of curiosity crossing her face. "Hmm, I like the sound of that." Wondering what he had in mind.
Saddling the horses up, she kept begging him to give her a clue, but Ty was mum. "You just have to be patience, Amy." Knowing full well that patience's was not one of her best qualities.
They rode along for a while, just enjoying the sunshine. Amy getting caught up in watching his hips sway in the saddle, her mind wondering to the night she found the ring. She could not wait to be his wife, so why hadn't he asked?
Taking notice of their surroundings, she thought she knew every trail around Heartland, but this didn't look familiar to her. It was beautiful, but she couldn't get her bearings on where they were headed.
"Ty, are you lost? This area doesn't look familiar."
Ty smiled, his plan was working. She had no clue as to where they were, and no idea where they would end up. But truth was, he wasn't sure either.
"No, I'm not lost." He said with a tone. Giving Harley a nudge to pick up the pace. They rode a little further, the trail taking a turn.
As they rounded a bend, the lake came into view, then one cabin and another.
She relaxed, finally recognizing where they were. They walked the horses over to the pen, un tacking them and turning them out to graze. Amy checking the water trough.
She moved towards Ty, wrapping her arms around his neck, savoring the taste of his lips on hers.
Coming up for air, she smiled. "Ok, are you going to let me in on the secrete now?" Turning up the heat with another smoldering kiss.
"Ah, no." Raising his eyebrow.
"Ty." Slapping his arm.
"Come on, please." Her beautiful blue eyes mesmerizing him.
He sighed. She certainly knew how to bush his buttons. But this time it wasn't going to work.
"No. I told you to be patience. You will find out when it's time."
Her lips stuck out in a pout. "No fair."
Ty chuckled. "Ah, what's the matter little girl? Not getting your way." Smiling down at her.
Amy went to protest, but decided she was not going to win this battle, so she just smiled. Turning and walking towards the cabin, leaving him to stare at her shapely behind.
Hearing his footsteps coming up behind her, she quickly made her way to the door. Not allowing him to catch her. She ran into the cabin, shutting and locking the door behind her.
His temper flaring, until he remembered what was waiting for inside that cabin.
Sitting down on the porch, he removed his boots, waiting patiently for her to come to her sense's and let him in.
She stood with her back to the door, expecting to hear him begging to be let in, but nothing. Her eyes wondering around until they landed on the single white rose laying on the bed.
Her heart melted, feeling bad that she had locked him out.
The door opened, the sound of her boots walking across the porch.
"Ty, I'm sorry." Her hands cupping his cheeks and bring his lips to hers. The kiss was soft and sensual, and made Ty shiver from the chills that ran down his spine.
God, she was beautiful, and had this unique quality of turning him into a puddle with just the touch of her hands. He was a basket case already, and their night had not even begun yet.
They made their way into the cabin, making out for a while. Until he heard a car outside. He got up and went to the door, opening it just in time to let the guy in with their dinner. He tipped the young man, thanking him and sending him on his way.
Placing the plates on the table, he walked over to the fire place, starting a fire, then lit the candles sitting on the table. He turned towards the bed, noticing Amy leaning up against the head board, a smile on her face.
"What's all this?" She asked. Holding the rose to her face. Her eyes catching the glow from the fire.
"Dinner is served, madam." Reaching out to take her hand and escort her over to the table.
Amy giggled, placing her hand on his and walking to the chair, waiting for Ty to pull it out. He was being such a gentleman, and it made her heart skip a beat to think he had done all of this for her.
The food was delicious, and she ate like she hadn't eaten in weeks. Ty always amazed by her appetite.
She looked up, to see him starring at her, wondering if she had something on her chin or stuck between her teeth.
"What?" She asked, looking into his eyes. Ty felt the color rise in his cheeks, blushing at the fact she had caught him.
"You are so beautiful." Recovering nicely.
It was her turn to blush. "Thank you." Winkling up her nose.
He laughed, walking over to take her hand and pull her to her feet. His lips pressing firmly against hers, as he wrapped her in his embrace.
"I love you." His green eyes captivating her.
Amy ran her hands through his hair, tugging softly at it as she ran her tongue over his lips. Seeking permission to enter. He allowed her entrance, their tongues sliding over each other's, turning up the heat.
Ty finding it hard to keep his focus. Suddenly he jerked back, crabbing their coats, and pushing her towards the door. Amy didn't know what to think, but decided to let him have his way. Helping her put her coat on, he took her by the arm and walked down the steps towards the dock.
The moon was shining brightly on the water as they made their way to the end, pulling her into him, he kissed her forehead. Thinking this night could not get much closer to the original one when he had first proposed to her.
They stood wrapped in each other's arms, sharing the warmth between them. Her head resting on his chest, hearing his heart beating rapidly.
"Ty, are you Ok? You seem a little nervous." Looking up at him.
It was now or never, knowing he couldn't hide anything from her. Taking a step back, he fell to one knee, holding the ring up to catch the moon light.
"I know I asked you this once before, but I'm hoping you will say yes again:
Will you still marry me, Amy?"
"Oh Ty. YES, YES! I will marry you." Her eyes moist with tears as she held out a shaky hand for him to place the ring on.
He slipped the ring on her finger, standing just in time to catch her as she jumped into his arms. Wrapping her arms and legs around him and planting one hell of a kiss on his lips.
"I love you so much, Ty Borden." Tears sliding down her cheeks.
Ty held her, twirling them around until he got dizzy, remembering they were standing on the dock. He put her back on her feet, and brushed her lips with a kiss.
"I love you more, Amy Fleming." Starring into her eyes.
They made their way back to the cabin, sitting by the fireplace, wrapped in each other's arms. Talking about their future and making out until they needed more.
Carrying her to the bed, he undressed her, piece by piece. His eyes lingering as he took her in. She was beautiful, more than he ever imagined. Her body the perfect image of a woman in his mind.
He was gentle and caring, making her feel like she was the only woman in the world. His hands magical as he knew every spot to touch that would send her sense's in to over drive, her body begging for more. Pushing her closer and closer to the edge until her body rocked with the shock waves surging through her. Ty giving into his own needs and collapsing in her arms.
He reached for the blankets, covering them and pulling her body into his. He left a few small kiss's down her jaw line, pretty sure she didn't feel them, already asleep in his arms.
Ty laid his head back on the pillows. Never feeling more content than he did in this moment, her body pressed warmly against his. Rolling his head, he left one last kiss on her lips.
"I love you, Amy."
….
The family was over joyed, seeing the ring back on her finger and hearing all about their wedding plans. The only one in a tizzy was Lou, wondering how she was going to manage getting everything done in 6 weeks.
Ty and Amy deliberately setting a sooner rather than later wedding date. They had been apart for too long after her accident, and they had a lot of catching up to do. Besides, Lou would not have enough time to turn things into an extravaganza.
They wanted a simple ceremony, nothing fancy and not a lot of guest. Something outside, so Amy could ride Spartan down the aisle, and Ty didn't have to wear a tux. He would, if that's what his bride wanted.
They had decided to get married in the meadow under the big Poplar tree. If they were lucky, September should be beautiful with the trees starting to turn.
They would be living in the trailer for a while after the wedding. The renovations to the loft would take some time to complete, and they didn't want to move into Amy's room. Being newlyweds, they felt they needed some privacy and space of their own.
Amy was planning on wearing her Mom's dress, but Mrs. Bell decided she needed her own, and was making it as a surprise for her. Amy would just as soon get married in jeans and boots, but knew that Lou would have a fit. Besides she was looking forward to seeing Ty's face when she came down the aisle in a dress.
Everything was finally falling into place, and Amy was getting anxious for her wedding day to arrive.
She loved Ty and couldn't wait to become his wife. There was only one last concern she needed to address. Would she become Mrs. Amy Borden or would she remain Amy Fleming? It was a tough decision to make. Especially seems she had a business of her own, and all her clients knew her as Amy Fleming.
The day finally arrived. The weather absolutely beautiful. Ty and Caleb were getting ready at the trailer, and Amy, Lou, Georgie and Katie were getting ready at Heartland.
Mrs. Bell had sent her dress the day before, to make sure it fit correctly. Amy was speechless when she pulled it from the box. Fully expecting to see her Moms dress. The note attached explained that there was a piece of her Moms dress and her Grandma Lyndy's dress stitched into the corset. Both visible through the laces that held the dress in place.
The dress was calf length in front, to show off her white boots, and a train in the back, that would hang over Spartans rump. It hugged her curves and was everything Amy imagined and more. For the first time, she felt like a bride.
She rode down the aisle, her eyes fixed on Ty. He looked so handsome in his black pants and vest. His green eyes sparkling as he watched her.
Their vows were simple, taken from a poem they had both come to love. The rings a daily reminder of the love they shared. The kiss, magical as they were pronounced husband and wife.
She snuggled into his arms, making their way back to the ranch in a horse drawn carriage. When they took the dance floor, they were introduced as Ty and Amy Fleming-Borden. Her eyes tearing up when she heard her new name for the first time.
Ty held his new bride tight, kissing her cheek as they danced to their favorite song. Modern Woman.
"You are absolutely stunning Mrs. Borden. You take my breath away." She smiled, her cheeks blushing with color.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself, Dr. Borden."
Their lips met, caught up in the moment when no one else existed but the two of them. Finally hearing the applause as their guest cheered.
Caleb's best man speech was long, but funny right up to the point when he started to tell about a very embarrassing moment. Ty crabbed the mic from his hand, hitting him in the shoulder. Mouthing, I'm going to kill you, at his friend.
But the best speech of the night was from Ty to his new wife. It came straight from his heart, and when he was finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including Amy's. Standing up to kiss her new husband.
The night was winding down, and they said goodbye to the guest that had lingered. Making their way over to the old GMC. They pulled away, stirring up the dirt as they dragged the tin cans tied to the bumper behind them.
When they reached the spot that Ty had chosen for their wedding night, Amy was resting her head on his shoulder, half a sleep from the long ride. Sitting up to take in the surroundings, she realized where they were.
The fishing cabin held many memories for them. It's where they had first declared their love for one another.
Ty swept her off her feet, carried her up on the porch. He stopped to turn and stare up at the sky.
"Amy, look!" Both looking up to see a shooting star streak across the sky.
"Make a wish." She said, kissing him softly.
"I did, several years ago. Do you remember?"
"You wished you could spend the rest of your life with me." Amy smiling at the memory.
"I did, and I had my doubts that that wish would ever come true. But you proved me wrong, Miracle Girl." Kissing her lips.
"I love you, Amy, and I can't wait to start our life together."
Carrying her across the threshold.
Thank you to all who read my story, and took the time to leave a review. I really appreciate it.
The End
