Amy and Ty's whirlwind trip was about to begin as their car pulled up to The Ritz-Carlton in downtown Montreal. Amy was awestruck as they walked into the most beautiful hotel she had ever seen. It was midafternoon so they had time to settle in and make the reception that evening. They were taken to their room and as the bellman left their bags Ty reached in his pocket giving him a generous tip. Locking the door he came up behind Amy holding her as she looked over the beautiful room. "Ty, look at this place, there is a sitting area with a fireplace, a small kitchenette, an amazing bedroom with an unbelievable view. And look at this bathroom. It is huge with a gigantic shower and huge two-person clawfoot tub." She was overwhelmed but felt the warmth of Ty's lips on her ear. "I am holding the most beautiful thing in this room." She turned around and was met with a passionate kiss. She whispered, "We have a while before the reception, I wonder how we can pass the time." Without an answer he swooped her up carrying her to the bedroom. Silently they helped each other undress savoring the sensuality of the moment. After all these years their spark was hotter than ever and they spent the next few hours pleasuring each other in every way possible. Ty caressed and kissed every part of her focusing on the parts of her body that excited her the most. Amy returned the favor in more ways than one. They joined as one several times as their bodies moved in a fluid motion. Amy moaned in delight as they reached climax. Each of them were gasping for air as they continued even after they both had reached the peak of their love. Pure and complete love was what they shared. As they recovered Amy looked into her lover's eyes, "It's gonna be a fun weekend." He smirked carrying her to the shower so they could make an attempt to clean up and get ready.

After a romantic shower Ty walked into the bathroom in his boxers looking in awe with his beautiful wife. She sat at the vanity is a lacey black set of panties and bra doing her makeup and combing her beautiful blonde hair. She had gone shopping with Lou and Cass to get a dress and other items just for the trip. After he cleaned up he went to get dressed in his black suit. When she walked out he just about passed out. Amy had a full-length form fitting black dress that hugged her in all the right places. It had a plunging back and a slit up one leg. She was holding several pieces of jewelry, "Ty what jewelry should I wear and as she looked his way she blushed. "What?" "My god Amy you are stunning. I am really going to have to keep my eye on you tonight. And you can put that jewelry away, I have it covered, this is for you," he said smiling. From behind his back he pulled out a long black box. She opened it and found a shining necklace with a matching set of earrings. The necklace had a beautiful pendant wrapped in diamonds and as she turned it over she read the inscription, "TAMY Forever." She was overwhelmed, "Ty you are going to make me cry and I will have to redo my mascara, this is so beautiful.' As she leaned into him kissing his lips he stepped back as Ty helped her put it on, "No Amy you are beautiful, hot and sexy so let's go to party!" She smiled grabbed her clutch, took his arm and they headed down to the reception.

They met Dr Molder and his wife and walked into the reception area. There were about 40 people in the intimate group and immediately they heard a call from the other side of the room, it was from the Prime Minister. "Amy and Ty over here." Although they knew they had met Dr Molder and his wife were impressed. The PM immediately hugged Amy and shook Ty's hand. Ty introduce Dr. Molder and his wife and then the PM introduced his wife to the group. She immediately spoke up, "So these are the parents of the other women in my husband's life. Can I tell you they have a special bond. Do you know that she texted him to make sure we treated you well. Her exact words, my parents are awesome so be nice. She is a hoot." Amy smiled, "There is only one Maddie, thank the lord." Ty saw the confusion in Dr. Molder's eyes so he took a few seconds to explain the entire BFF thing. The Prime Minster excused himself and asked if he could talk to Ty and Amy alone. "Guys, we need to keep this on the down low, but we would love to have you two over to the house for dinner tomorrow night. We really want you to meet the kids and I know they want to meet you. We don't want to cut into your, what does Maddie call it your "Sleeping In time. though" Ty and Amy blushed as Amy answered, "Of course we would." "And we definitely need to talk to our daughter," Ty laughed.

The reception was very nice as Amy and Ty got to meet the other two groups and talk about why they were there. The team from Winnipeg, Manitoba had set up a pet foster care program affiliated with the University of Manitoba Human Services and Veterinary Department. It had begun small but grown into one of the most impactful programs in all of Canada. The arranged foster care for all types of animals and their placement rate to forever homes was over 80%. The third team was a hoot. They were from Halifax, Nova Scotia and had built an animal caregiver program for little children recovering from a medical conditions. It had been implemented at the IWK Children's Hospital in conjunction with Dalhousie University both located in Halifax. Kent and Mark said they got the idea when Kent's little brother was diagnosed with cancer and all he wanted was to have his dog stay with him in the hospital. That idea grew into an Eastern Canadian enterprise which had received accolades from universities, care centers and patients. Talking to the others groups and the rest of the guest was a lot of fun especially when they told their stories. Several of them had heard of the Miracle Girl video and were impressed to actually meet the real thing.

Ty held on to Amy most of the night having trouble holding back his pride. When she talked about the Equine Center and her mom he beamed with pride. But the turning point was when Dr. Molder mentioned to the group that Ty and Amy had 5 children. The entire group was dumbfounded to think that they were able to build the program up and still parent 5 kids. Ty couldn't help himself to speak, "I can't tell you how many times I have been asked that especially when their mother is so beautiful." Amy blushed and poked him in the ribs. After the got back to their room and got ready for bed, they sat on the sofa facing the window. They both had robes on as Ty had his customary boxers and Amy opted for Ty's favorite PJs. The held each other in silence as the gazed at the amazing view. Ty looked over and saw his wife fast asleep. He guessed their afternoon activities had worn her out. He gently carried her to bed, discarded their robes and snuggled under the covers. He whispered, "I love you Amy," receiving a gentle sigh from the woman of his dreams.

The first day of the meeting went well. Each team presented their program and information. Amy and Ty had come to find that there was a cash award for the University and the opportunity to have their program shared throughout the Canadian educational system. They were going to go last so they actively listened to the first two teams. They were impressed with each of the programs and saw the passion in each of the teams presenters. Ty leaned over to his wife, "How is anyone going to decide, both of these programs rock." She agreed leaning into his ear, "Well after yesterday I would say you rock too." He poked her, "Settle there horsey girl." As the second presentation ended they broke for lunch. The lunch was an active conversation about the first two sessions but soon the conversation switched. Kent spoke up, Amy and Ty I have heard some information about your two and what you do. I googled the Heartland Equestrian Experience and have to say, Wow." Mark continued, "And your story is amazing. Was Ty really a juvenile delinquent. What's up with that."

Everyone laughed as Ty responded, "Well let's just say that until I met this one here my life was a bit of a mess. Amy's mom saved me when she agreed to have me finish my probation working at Heartland." Amy continued as she held her husband's hand, "My mom was amazing and has influenced all of us and what we do. The Equine Center at our ranch is named after her. Her horse whispering methods were well known through Alberta and lucky for me she passed them down. Now those skills have been passed to my oldest daughter Lyndy and my niece who you all may know, Georgie Weber, the Olympic Champion and Coach of the Olympic Team." One of the Manitoba team interrupted, "Wait a minute, your niece is Georgie Fleming Weber, I watched her on TV, she is amazing." Amy gleamed with pride, "Yes, my sister and her former husband adopted her when she mysteriously showed up at our ranch one day. We all fell in love with her and she became a member of our family. She is married to Steven one of our vets and they have twins under a year old." Everyone sat in amazement as Ty continued. "Right away she showed us that she was fearless with horses. One day we followed her because we suspected she was practicing without supervision. Before we went to yell at her we watched her and she was utterly amazing with no fear at all. She cleared the jumps bareback and the connection with her young horse Phoenix was building. Phoenix was the horse she competed on." Amy and Ty smiled at each other as the bragged about their niece.

After the meeting resumed, Amy and Ty along with Dr. Molder began their presentation. They provided a recap of the past lectures/clinics prior to the most recent one. They discussed the evolution and how it adjusted to the need of the audience. Dr. Molder interjected, "We surveyed the class and asked them what they wanted to see. Interestingly the desire moved from a veterinary focus to a need to understand the holistic horse care side, which was Marion's legacy." Ty interjected "And let's be honest do you want to listen to me or my beautiful wife. I know my answer." As everyone chuckled and Amy poked Ty she continued. "What we have tried to show the students that the two facets of horse care are linked, in fact are essential for complete horse care. As our lectures evolved we spent time showing that link and believe the approach has shown these up-and-coming vets that there is much more to animal care than the medical side." Dr. Molder continued. "We have also implemented a clinical program with Ty and Amy's team." He referred to the slide on the screen. "Interestingly Amy's section is getting the most interest and the students can't get enough of it. What is really cool is that her approaches can also be used with other animals which was a bonus we didn't even expect." The rest of the presentation went well and they fielded many questions. After they finished, they took a short break.

During the break the evaluation team grabbed Amy and Ty to continue the conversation about their presentation. After they finished, Dr. Molder leaned over to Ty and Amy, "I think we got this in the bag, you guys were awesome." Amy and Ty looked at each other both of them knowing what the other was thinking. Amy spoke up, "Thank you for that but to be honest, it's a shame only one program will be selected. We think the other two programs are awesome and I don't know, but it seems a shame only one is selected." Before they could continue the conversation, they were called back to the meeting. The rest of the afternoon was spent for some clarification the evaluation team needed and details about tomorrow. They would meet again in the morning briefly and spend the middle part of the day on an organized sightseeing tour of Montreal. They would convene again in the afternoon. At the evening event the winner would be announced. Amy and Ty headed too their room to get ready for their evening with th Prime Minister and his family. A car was arriving at 5:30 to get them so they had less than an hour. Not to miss a chance to be together they shared a not so quick shower, with a promises to continue later as they got dressed in comfortable clothes. The car ride was less than a half hour and as they pulled up the Prime Minister and his family were on the porch. As they approached them welcome and hellos abounded along with some hugs from the little ones. "Are you really Maddie's parents?" Amy smiled saying "Yes we are."

Dinner was very comfortable and a lot like what they were used to. Each child talked about their day as the adults listened attentively. Amy smiled as she watched the family interact. Then it was there turn to field questions. Amy was asked a lot about her horse and all the rest of the horses they worked on. She then was asked about Maddie's siblings needing details on every one of them. The eldest daughter asked them how they met. Ty smiled, "Well I was not a good kid and got in a lot of trouble. As a part of my probation, I was sent to work at Heartland, Amy's family ranch. I met Amy, her sister Lou and Grandpa Jack. Each one of them helped "fix" me and this one next to me, well I fell in love with her. She was different than any girl I have ever met but watching her work with horses was what made me fall for her. She was a little mean but once she got over that she couldn't help but fall for me." Amy poked him and they all laughed. "Ty was my best friend at first but after I got my act together I know he was the person I wanted to spend my life with. 5 kids later here we are." After dinner the group went to the lounge and continued the conversation and several of the kids headed to bed. The PMs wife checked on them and eventually it was just the four of them. The car was going to be there in an hour so they had a drink and continue their conversation. "Amy and Ty I think the kids really enjoyed you being here. Unfortunately with my position in government nights like this don't happen often. I hope we can continue to be friends." Th PM said with a little sadness. Ty responded, "Well you know you are always welcome to visit the ranch. It can get a little crazy but it is definitely fun. I know Maddie, especially would love you to all visit."

The car arrived and as they got in the back seat Amy melted into Ty's embrace. "That was fun and I know it would be a challenge but I hope they come to visit this summer. They are so easy to talk to and nice." They pulled up to the hotel and went to their room. As soon as the closed the door, their pent-up passion exploded. Clothes were strewn across the floor as the made their way to the bedroom. As they jumped on the bed their naked bodies collided as they focused on each other's need and wants. The plan was to take full advantage of their time alone and each of them planned to reach that goal. Ty rolled onto his wife kissing and caressing her as Amy moaned his name over and over. As he moved over her body her reactions matched his lust. He moved to the place she wanted and she screamed out his name arching her back and clutching the sheets. Her climax was overwhelming and she couldn't wait to flip him over and have some fun. Ty laid on his back as she ravaged him in the best way possible. He mumbled her name closing his eyes experiencing the sensations of her actions. With each area of his body being taken care of, his moans matched hers. Stuttering Ty cried out, "Amy my god you are killing me. I love you." But his voice faltered as she took him in the most private way. After they were both sated he rolled back over as they joined. Their movement was in sync as his thrust were met with hers. They were two bodies functioning as one.

The next morning the two lovers woke in each other's arms. After a nice room service breakfast they got ready for the day. During the early meeting the point of everyone being a winner was discussed. Interestingly each of the three teams had the same idea and the open-minded evaluation team said they would deliberate while they were on their sightseeing tour. Seeing Montreal was amazing and Amy and Ty enjoyed the sights. They had a great lunch at a beautiful café in Mount Royal Park and toured many of the key sites in the city. It was fun especially with the other teams whom they had bonded with. When they returned they met to have a final get together with the entire group. The evaluation team said they had discussed the everyone wins idea and said they would disclose their decision tonight. The adjourned and headed back to the room to get ready. They had a little over an hour so a little cuddling was taken advantage of. The final dinner was not as formal but Amy had a nice dress and Ty wore a sport coat. As they were seated the team stood to provided their decision. The chairman of the association spoke for the group. "Well, listened to you proposal and agree that all three of you are winners as all three programs are amazing in their own way. So rather than offer the prize to one of you we will spilt it three ways, with a little added. Each university will receive $50,000 and all there of your program will be features in an upcoming issue of your monthly magazine. Everyone applauded and enjoyed a great dinner well into the evening.

After another late evening Amy and Ty awoke ready to see their kids. Ty got them an earlier flight and with the time change they would arrive a little before noon for more time with the kids. As they got off the plane they heard screams from and active group of kids, with Lou, Kati and Georgie along with them. As they cleared security they rushed to their children hugging and kissing them. "We missed you all so much," Amy cried to them. "How did you all get along." They all tried to talk at once as Ty interrupted. "Guys let's get home and we can tell each other about our weekends. I bet we all have some cool stories." Lou interjected, "Well we have Maggie's Fried Chicken waiting at your house so let's go." The family settled in, enjoyed the lunch and after Lou, Katie and Georgie headed home the Borden's spent the entire afternoon and evening together. Stories were told and Maddie wanted to hear all about the dinner they had with her BFF and his family. Everyone was tired so after some pizza the family got ready to bed. Amy and Ty made the rounds spending a little time with Maddie to provide more information about their dinner. As they laid in bed they rolled over into each other's arms. "I am exhausted Dr. Borden, you were on your game this weekend," Amy cooed. "Well Mrs. Borden you were pretty amazing yourself. That one thing you did, my god." He laughed. He looked over to kiss her good night he was met with a slowly breathing wife, out for the count.

Over the next few weeks the girls increased their focus on getting ready for the upcoming show jumping season. Lyndy had a title to defend, Annie and Addie were moving up a level in their bracket and Maddie was getting to be in her first level of competitive jumping. The began a regular schedule of training, Lyndy with Georgie, the twins with Amy and Katie taking over for Maddie. Spreading out the help allowed more opportunity to train. The family was in a good routine and Wyatt still remained an added member of the family. Grandma June was doing better in rehab but the possibility of her being able to come back to her home was becoming less of a reality. Wyatt was upset but Lyndy, Amy and Ty made sure they were here for them. Privately Amy and Ty met with June at the rehab center calling her niece. June pondered, "Amy and Ty I can't thank you enough for being there for my Wyatt. You have been my saviors. It doesn't look like I will be able to move back home and my niece has offered to have him live with her in the states." Amy immediately responded, "We respect your decision June, but have no doubt, he is more than welcome to stay with us. And Ty and I will do anything you need us to do. Just let us know." She smiled and they heard a sigh on the phone. June spoke with determination, "Well I hope I am not being selfish but I want him to be near me so if it Ok I would like to make a more permanent situation for him. We will need to make some amendments to the paperwork. I have to sell my house as my long-term cost will rise too," Holding her head down she continued, "I want to tell him, but I will need the three of you there. It is going to be hard but I am confident it is the right thing to do."

After gathering themselves, Ty spoke up. "Well my step-father is a lawyer and he can help us with the legal part. And as for as the house, we will help and I am sure the rest of our family will as well. The family loves Wyatt and will do anything to support him. If you can come to the house a room will be ready for you and we will make sure he doesn't lose contact with his family, so he can make trips to visit whenever you would like. We are committed 100%." Tears gathered in June's eyes and sobs were heard on the phone. "You are a blessing from god and I can't thank you enough." They decided to meet with Wyatt the upcoming Saturday. Amy decided that they would bring him and Lyndy for a visit. The meeting went well but as expected Wyatt was more concerned for his grandma who was the most important person in his life along with Lyndy. That night Amy explained everything to the rest of the kids and they were happy to have him around more permanently. JT was listening on not fully understanding but spoke up high fiving Wyatt, "Awesome another man in the house." Everyone laughed.

Amy and Ty made their rounds but the both had noticed a more than quiet Lyndy all evening. They decided to spend a little time with her to see what was up. The had accepted that every night Wyatt and her would be together talking when they entered her room and as always, he respectfully sat at her desk chair and the door was opened. Amy went to sit next to her daughter who was sullen and had her head down. Ty, spoke up, "Honey what is going on, mom and I noticed you seemed a bit off tonight." Wyatt starting getting up to give them some privacy but Lyndy motioned for him to stay. Lyndy hesitantly spoke, "Well I have received a couple of inquiries from dance schools and high schools that focus on the arts. Most have come to school too but I received this one today in the mail." As she pulled out an open envelope and handed to her mom she continued. "I don't want to do, I love dancing, I love jumping, I love working with horses and I lo, like Wyatt a lot. I am so torn and feel pressured that I need to commit to just one of them, well two," smiling at Wyatt. Amy confessed, "Honey let me tell you a story. Well I was a pretty good jumper and kind if liked helping horses. The dance thing not so much and well I kind of liked your father a little.

"When I graduated from high school I was offered a full scholarship to a university that had one of the top Equine programs in North America. Of course your dad was supportive as I know Wyatt is." Smiling at the concerned young man she continued. "I decided not to take it and focus fully on helping horses. I don't regret the decision and thanks to your father's support I was able to obtain my degree later. Bottom line honey, you need to go with your heart and not be worried about what we or Wyatt thinks. I have to admit your Aunt Lou was not happy with my decision but supported me none the less." Lyndy looked lovingly at her parent's hugging each of them and then Wyatt. "Thanks I guess I have a lot to think about. After a restless sleep the family gathered for breakfast. Maddie looked over to Lyndy, "Are you Ok?" Lyndy responded to her smiling, "I am Ok but have a lot on my mind." Annie continued, "Lyndy we can help you if you want, but whatever it is we will support whatever you decide to do." Addie added, "We know what you have to decide, we have ears. And along with Maddie and Annie we will be with you whatever path you take. We love you Lyndy and will forever." JT was listening and felt the urge to speak, "Lyndy, I love you too but I hope you stay." At that point she smiled realizing her decision would be easy, she was where she wanted to be.
