Chapter Ninety-One

All You Need is Love

A/N – Having personal experiences with Downs Syndrome it was rewarding to address this diagnosis in the last chapter. I am not a doctor but have a very in depth understanding of it and I hope I did it justice. Kids and adults with Downs are amazing and I wanted to set the stage for that. Now let's move on with summer activities and fun. A big jumping competition is coming up and, oh yeah a wedding. Katie and Clay are excited and in love. I have shown similarities between them and Amy and Ty and will continue to build that out. A good amount of Borden in this chapter as each of them play an important role in the ceremony. And a teaser, the Borden's are ready to go on their separate Kid and parents trips. I am looking forward to giving them both the justice they deserve. Mature Content Enjoy!

P.S. I will continue to release one chapter at a time as my summer is pretty hectic. I would rather do that then extend the time needed to do two of them. Don't forget to Review, I really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks to an overwhelming amount of support and love Beau and the rest of the Masters' family were doing well. They had a lot of visitors but the most frequent ones were Maddie, Gwen and Sylvia. They were true to their word in their commitment and both Bethany and Will were sure of it. One visit, Amy stayed and chatted with them, "I hope they aren't being a little to overbearing. I have seen Maddie's determination and it is very obvious this means a lot to her. Are you sure it is Ok?" Bethany smiled, "Amy those girls are so amazing and your daughter is a blessing. You and Ty should be so proud of her, she is more than wonderful. Look at them, they are so focused on Beau. But more than that, they hang with Billy, help clean up, heck she even did laundry a couple of times." Amy smiled and thanked them but she couldn't resist. "She does laundry, heck I can barely get her to clean her room." They smiled as they watch the kids interact. Amy loved all of her children and each of them had a special place in her heart for their uniqueness. Maddie's was her deep commitment to what she believed was the right thing to do. She was all in all the time with everything she did in life. On the ride home the girls were chatting actively as Amy finally interrupted, "You know we are very proud of you three and I know Mr. and Mrs. Masters are really glad you are spending time with Billy and Beau." They smiled and Gwen spoke up, Mrs. Borden, Maddie helped me when I needed it and Sylvia and I want to do the same for Beau and Billy. We want him to be as happy as us and will be there for him always." They all giggled as Amy drove on with a tear in her eye. As they pulled up the girls bolted out to the car to go see the horses. Amy reminded Gwen and Sylvia they were staying for dinner with them and that their parents would pick them up after. Amy headed to the office to find Ty and Steven having a post operative conversation about a horse they just did a procedure on. She sat down quietly and as Steven left Ty asked, "Hey babe is everything alright?" She smiled and quietly responded, "I am just a little overwhelmed watching those three girls with Billy and Beau. Ty it is so special to see the love and commitment they have for them." She walked over to sit on his lap. No words were needed as they sat together in silence.

With two extra girls at the table, dinner was as active as ever. Lyndy laughed as she saw Wyatt and JT sitting together rolling their eyes. "What's wrong boys the girl power too much for you?" They all laughed as she leaned over and hugged them both tightly. Wyatt enjoyed the affection but JT scrunched his face. "You girls or too much. Wyatt and I may start eating alone." The other girls came over and tickled the both of them giggling and laughing. Finally Ty did his dad thing and spoke up. "Girls leave them alone. On behalf of the small male group here you need to chill and eat your dinner." Amy squeezed his hand as they went back to their seats. The dinner continued a little more under control. Lyndy talked about a summer recital she was practicing for right before they left for Prince Edward Island. Annie, Maddie and Gwen were excited about this weekend's competition that was a qualifier for the upcoming Fall Finale. Addie was excited that her dad and her were almost finished with the bike they were restoring as Amy cringed, "You can only ride it on the farm and with someone watching young lady. We don't need any more bike crashes." They all laughed. JT talked fishing stories and his rides on Blue Boy with his two cousins Hannah and Noah. Wyatt spoke about the clinic and all the cool stuff he was learning. "Mr. Borden I want to thank you for letting me work there. I really enjoy it and Scott, Ellie and Mandy are awesome." Ty looked at him concerned, "Really Mr. Borden, I think Ty works just fine young man." Lyndy blushed, "Or maybe dad." The table went quiet as Wyatt pondered the comment. "Dad works for me but when we get married how will that work?" The table sat stunned but then erupted in laughter as JT high fived Wyatt. "Great job Wyatt they are finally speechless." Amy and Ty watched as dinner continued. They loved their kids to death and every day that love grew. Addie looked at her mom who seemed emotional, "Mom is everything Ok." She couldn't speak so Ty spoke up, "We are very happy and love each of you very much.

As dinner finished a horn sounded in the yard as both Gwen's and Sylvia's parents were here to pick them up. Ty, Amy and the three girls went out to meet them as they walked up to the porch. Lyndy and the twins cleaned up and Wyatt took JT to his room to get ready for bed. The group on the porch heard all about the three girl's day as they excitedly told them. Amy motioned to the two mothers and pulled them off to the side. "I just wanted to tell you that Beau's parents, Will and Bethany are extremely pleased that your girls have taken an interest in their son. The bond is already strong even though he is a newborn. But even more amazing that along with Maddie they have made it their mission to make sure their son, Billy is engaged as well. Bethany told me they were worried how he would react to a brother with Downs but hanging with the three of them has helped a lot. They already see his acceptance and love for his little brother. They wanted me to tell you how much they love your girls." The three mothers smiled and hugged each other as they headed home. Ty and Amy made the rounds making sure they said a special thank you to Maddie for the day with Beau and her friends. As Amy got ready for bed she could feel Ty's eyes on her. "You know staring isn't nice. Are you looking for a moisturizer session again tonight?" He laughed, "Not a bad idea but to be honest I can't help but stare. You are the most beautiful woman in the world and I can't believe you married me." She finished and walked rather seductively over to their bed. "Well trust me I am the lucky on, you are pretty hot, and sexy and studly and." She quickly moved into his embrace kissing him like they were teens. He engulfed her with his arms and kissed her back with an intense passion. The few clothes they had on were discarded as they played, rolling around and giggling. The play became more sensual as Ty moved from her lips down to her breast and below. With each movement Amy moaned his name and when he landed below her waist she arched her back calling his name out softly. "Ty, don't stop." He pleasured her to multiple orgasms as she writhed and continued to moan his name. After a short recovery he moved up and slowly joined with her, both of them moving fluidly with each other. They continued their rhythmic love making for more than usual as they savored the altruistic bond they were sharing. There was no rush but simply a sharing of each other. As they calmed they continued to hold each other completely and totally in love, a love only meant for them.

As the wedding approaching in a week and a half the family was in complete prep mode. But the three riders were set for their meet on the upcoming weekend. Even though Katie was focused on the wedding she still was taking time working with Maddie and Gwen as well as helping Amy and Georgie with Annie. This meet was an important steppingstone in qualifying for the Fall Finale. Much to their delight the Horse Jumping Commission decided to include a segment for Gwen and she was already invited to compete. They were confident that Maddie and Annie would meet the qualifications but they still were working hard preparing. The competition would be strong and they wanted to place well. Secretly, Amy, Georgie and Katie wanted them to place first. The morning of the event after a good breakfast the three competitors, trainers and horses headed to get registered and look over the course. Lyndy had also decided to join them so they took the big SUV and trailer. Gwen's division would go first then Maddie followed by Annie. The rest of the family was arriving in time to watch all three and set up their cheering section. Lilly and Max were excited as they rarely made these and would be heading over with Jack, Lisa, Tim and Casey. Gwen's parents were bringing Sylvia and her parents. Through the connection with Maddie the two families had met and become close. Everyone sat looking on as Gwen's group began. She was the first to go and with Maddie's support she moved to the starting line. As with the other competitions there would not be declared winners but the times were noted as every contestant was recognized. Gwen began strongly as she cleared the first jump cleanly. Her horse, Silver, who was from the ranch, glided effortlessly over the remaining jumps as Gwen guided the mare smoothly with a high level of skill. Her time was strong as Katie, Amy and Georgie were sure it would be one of the best ones of her group. Gwen's smile was huge as she jumped off and hugged her friend as Maddie smiled and said, "Gwen you did great, you are awesome!" Gwen glanced at her parents who with the rest of the cheering section applauded loudly. As expected when her group finished she did have the best time but again all of the contestants were recognized just for their efforts. Katie leaned over to smiling at Georgie and whispered, "She won! Let's make sure we recognize that when we get together at Heartland later."

After a short break to reset the jumps Maddie's group began. Maddie was in the middle of both sessions which she preferred. On both runs Mystic was amazing moving through the course clearing every jump with ease. Amy, Katie and Georgie watched as Maddie was in complete command of her horse moving as one. Her times were both great and again they were confident that she would place high. The last competitor from Briar Ridge held a slight lead over her as she began her run. She seemed nervous and on the last jump she tapped the poll and it fell. Maddie looked at her mom with a controlled smile. She knew she had won but was humbly reacting, which was something her parents had taught all of the kids to do. As they announced the final results, as expected Maddie had placed first and won the red ribbon. She smiled broadly, especially when it was mentioned that her coaches were the Miracle Girl, an Olympic Champion and Coach and a soon to be married past champion. Everyone laughed at the announcer's remarks and applauded loudly. After a lunch break Annie's group was ready to begin. She had been set as the first rider on round one and last on round two. For her she preferred that placement. What was a little challenging was the level of jump changes they had made for her age group. There were several challenges and she knew she was ready but still a little concerned. Her first run was perfect outside of a slight hesitancy on the last challenging jump. As she watched she looked at Addie and smiled listening to her thoughts. She felt a surge of confidence knowing that her sister was there for her. After round one she has slightly behind one rider and as she prepared for her second run she knew what she had to do. She patted Theo on the neck and said, "Let's do it boy." Before she started she glanced at Addie for a last bit of mental support. Her run started out strong and only got better as she moved through the course. Amy, Georgie and Katie smiled in amazement as they watched her. Georgie whispered to them both, "That girl has it, look at how focused she is." Amy smiled, "Reminds me of you." As she came to the last jump it seemed that Theo puffed out his chest and they cleared it cleanly and easily. Even before the time was posted they know she had won. The family and crowd watching erupted in applause as she finished and the time was posted. The Borden girls and Gwen had done well. Annie looked over at her sister and smiled knowing that without her she would have not done as well. Ty and Amy caught the glance and smiled at each other seeing the connection.

The celebration BBQ at Heartland was fun filled with amazing food. Gwen and Sylvia's parents came as well as other close friends of the family. Although they were celebrating the three riders, most of the talk revolved around Katie and Clay's wedding which was a week away. To say the family was excited was an understatement. Of course everyone loved Katie but Clay had become a respected and loved member of the clan as well. Clay and Katie were sitting with Amy and Ty talking about the wedding. Ty noticed that he seemed a little sullen so asked, "Hey Clay you Ok? Wedding jitters settling in?" Clay smiled, "A little but I can wait to marry Katie she is my life. It's just sitting here around this family is an amazing thing for me. You know I haven't been close to my parents and only have my brother as family." As he leaned into his soon to be bride, Amy timidly asked, "Are you parents coming?" He hesitated, "Well it seems they are and will be with their new spouses. I am happy they are coming I just hope they don't make a scene. They promised they would be civil but with them you never know." Ty smiled and put his hand on his shoulder as Katie held his waist. "Clay, I know what parents can be like, you just need to focus on that amazing lady sitting next to you. She is what matters most, trust me I know," as he kissed Amy's cheek. They continued their discussion as Lou and Maddie approached them with lists and binders in hand. Maddie spoke up as Lou smiled brightly, "Ok since we have a break let's go over everything again. This wedding needs to be perfect." Over the next 45 minutes they went over everything about the wedding. Amy and Ty tried to sneak away but were held at bay by the almost newlyweds. Lyndy and Wyatt came over as well so it wasn't as bad. Katie and Clay did a lot of smiling secretly hoping the week went fast so they could be married. Their attic apartment at Heartland was completed. The family added on to the upper level with a bathroom and additional bedroom. It was the perfect place for them to start their lives together. As decided they would forego a long honeymoon for a weekend in Calgary at a resort on the lake, provided by Jack, Lisa, Tim, Casey, Lilly and Max. The only thing left was to survive the week.

After a week of work, some play, final dress and tux fittings, caterer meetings and the likes it was the night before the wedding at the wedding rehearsal dinner. With just family, members of the wedding party and a few additional guests the dinner was hosted by Amy, Lou and Ty at Fairfield. The service and reception would be held in the tent in the Heartland yard. It was always Katie's dream and the plan was to meet all of her wishes. Since it was the summer they had portable air conditioners ready in case they were needed, but luckily it seemed it would be cool enough not to need them. JT took credit as he proudly stated, "I talked to grandma and great grandma and they assured me the weather would be perfect." Clay's mom and dad along with their new spouses had RSVP'd and he was a little nervous as he hadn't seen them for years. His brother Chet assured him that he and Katie would stand by him for support. The rehearsal went smoothly. The groomsmen were Chet as his best man then Wyatt, Caleb, Ty, and Steven. Georgie was the maid of honor and Steven was walking down with Katies's best friend Melanie. Of course Lyndy, Cass and Amy walked with their husbands and boyfriend. Katie had formed a strong bond with Cass over the years and decided that the O'Dell's needed to be a part of the ceremony. In a surprise and after much consideration Katie asked Scott and Jack to walk her down with Scott walking her to her husband to be. Lou smiled whispering to Amy, "Seems two escorts are common in this family." Recalling that Georgie had asked Jack and Peter to do the same as well as Amy with their dad and grandpa. After the ceremony, a buffet of all of the bride and grooms favorites were laid out by kids from the youth program and happily catered by Maggie's. For the wedding they decided to use Marnie so Lou could focus on her younger daughter's wedding. Annie, Addie and Maddie were going to be Junior Bridesmaids and also would be ushering people to their seats. The most challenging task would be JT, Noah and Hannah bringing the rings down to the stage. If needed Steven and Wyatt were prepared to assist. As they sat around enjoying the evening, Clay and Katie got everyone's attention. Clay began, "I am a very lucky man. I have found my soulmate and the love of my life. But I have also found a family that loves me and I know will always being there for Katie and I. Thanks you all for being here to celebrate the best day of my life." Everyone raised a glass in toast.

Katie got up next and spoke with emotion. "Like Clay I am looking forward to marrying the best friend I have ever had. He completes me and I can't wait to live our life together. But I also want to say how much I love all of you. My family is everything to me and I can never thank you enough. I love Clay for a million reasons but mostly because her has many traits of all the men that have been in my life." She hesitated and continued with a tear in her eyes. "I especially want to thank GG, Scott and Ty. You are very important to both of us and I want to thank you for helping Clay turn into the amazing man he is." Everyone applauded and raised their glass. Katie could help but notice a subdued look from Clay's parents, her dad and Tim. Clay whispered in her ear as they hugged, "Don't let them bother you babe, they checked out on me when I was young. Jack, Ty and Scott have been great role models for me and I love that you recognized them but mostly I love you and can't wait for tomorrow." The rest of the evening went well even with Maddie's continuous checking and rechecking with everyone on the schedule for tomorrow and what everyone had to do. Lou sat with Amy, Ty, Georgie and Steven with a proud smile on her face. Ty rolled his eyes, "Lou look what you have done to our daughter, she is you." The group laughed as Amy jabbed him in the ribs. "I think this is all Maddie babe." The party broke up and the Borden's headed home. The kids headed to an early bed as tomorrow was going to be a whirlwind. Amy sat combing her hair as Ty stepped out from the bathroom and wrapped his arms her tightly from behind. "Did I tell you how beautiful you looked in that dress tonight. I like when you show a little shoulder and have your hair down. Well actually you could wear a sack and I would think you are hot." She smiled and blushed finished her prep work for bed. Ty went to get into bed and as she walked in the room he looked up and his mouth fell open. "So do I look hot when I wear this?" Before him was his beautiful wife in all of her naked glory. Ty stumbled with his words, "My god Amy you are perfect and I am overdressed." She giggled and crawled up the bed discarding his boxers for him. She whispered, "Now that's more like it." They embraced as their night was full of passionate an unbridled love making. They would need a little sleeping in time tomorrow morning.

The sun peeked through the windows as a sleepy Amy and Ty woke up in each other's arms. It was a perfect morning as they held each other recalling their night of love. That perfection was shattered when there was a loud knock on the door. Maddie blurted out, "Hello, you guys need to get up, we kind of have a wedding today and you are a big part of it. Breakfast is set up so get a move on." Amy frowned and whispered to her lover, "Should we ignore her?" Ty smiled and kissed her passionately and then yelled telling her fifteen minutes, "I don't think it is possible but we better get down there. God I love you Amy Borden." They kissed and then got up to get their pajamas on and headed downstairs. As they walked down to the table they saw a frantic group eating and going over what they had to do. The girls would all be at Heartland as at 10:00 it became a male free zone. The hair and makeup team was arriving then and the girls were all set to get fixed up to look their finest. Katie would be last as she also had a hot stone massage, pedicure, manicure and face mask all set to go. The house was set up with robes, slippers and all of the dresses. Finger foods, wine and drinks for the kids and Amy were laid out on the main table for grazing as needed. Katie's dress was in her room and Amy, Lou and Georgie were the only ones allowed to be with her. Lisa, Lilly and Casey joined all the girls in the wedding party as well as Maddie, Annie and Addie. Katie made sure Clay was Ok with it but his mom and stepmom were invited too and were there. At the Miracle ranch the set up for the men was a little different. Much less formal they had all the tuxes ready to go but their food spread consisted of BBQ, sides, drinks and beer for the adults. Jack, Tim and Max assured the ladies that they would control the group and would make sure they made it to the wedding on time, JT and Noah were there as with Steven and Wyatt to keep them in check. All of the other children were with Jenn and Ben Stilman as they would bring them all to the ceremony. After being caught several times texting each other Katie and Clay's phones were confiscated so the next time they interacted would be at the stage when she walked down the aisle. Everyone was excited and being kept in check and on schedule by Maddie at Heartland and surprisingly Ty at the Miracle Ranch. As the time drew near Katie got dressed and when completed walked down the steps to teary eyes. Amy was speechless but finally she was able to blurt out, "GG is going to faint when he sees you. You look so much like Grandma Marion it is scary. Katie you look absolutely stunning." All of the rest of the ladies joined in the praise as Maddie blurted out. "Ok, its go time. Let's take our places. Aunt Lou will get the men set up. Annie, Addie and I will get people seated. Gwen and Sylvia have the programs and wedding party stay hear."

The men gathered up into a few cars and headed to the tent to get set up for their entrance. When the guest were seated the music started Clay and his brother took their place on the stage. Steven and Katie's friend Melanie came down first, followed by Caleb and Cass, Wyatt and Lyndy and finally Amy and Ty. After the music changed JT, Noah and Hannah came down with the rings. The crowd all oohed as they walked down to give the rings to Chet and Georgie. Lilly, Lisa and Casy called them to sit with them after they did an amazing job. Everyone stood as the Wedding March began. The curtain opened as Jack and Scott brought Katie down. She was beaming and the guest were blown away with how beautiful she looked. As she approached the stage Scott kissed her forehead and she walked over to her mom for an unexpected embrace. Tears were flowing freely as Jack walked her up and placed her hands on Clays. He kissed her forward and whispered in her ear, "Katie you are beautiful just like you Grandma. I love you." Katie could barely keep it together as she hugged him tightly, "I love you too GG." The minister settled everyone in and began the ceremony. He welcomed everyone and on behalf of Clay and Katie thanked them all for coming. He briefly talked about the bond of marriage and how after meeting them and talking about today he saw that Katie and Clay loved each other completely. He also spoke for the family and how supportive they were. As he spoke Amy smiled at Ty remembering their wedding and mouthing I love you to each other. Lyndy poked her mom silently telling her to focus and Amy leaned over and stuck her tongue out at her. Wyatt was mesmerized with Lyndy and how beautiful she looked until he glanced over to JT who was giving a furrowed brow glance of concern. He smiled and winked at him as he smiled back. It was time for the vows and like Amy and Ty they had wrote their own. After the minister asked them and the guest to confirm their commitments he encouraged them to start. The moved flawlessly through them focused on each other as if no one else was there. As they concluded the minister smiled and asked for the rings. He asked them both to repeat the words to the meaning of what the ring represented. As they each finished they slid the rings on each other's fingers. The crowd hushed as the minister proudly said, By the power vested in me by the province of Alberta I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss each other." Clay looked into Katie's eyes and moved his lips to hers in a passionate kiss as the crowd erupted. After a minute or so they came up for air as Chet blurted out, "It's about time"

After family pictures down by the pond the reception was in full swing. The tent was full of family and friends, around 150. The also cleared out the ranch house for additional seating, the gift table and an area for babies and the older folks to rest. Katie and Clay would be spending the night at the Dude Ranch and Ty made sure Lou gave them the key. The next morning they would have a family only breakfast and head to Calgary to stay at the same resort Amy and Ty had been to several times for a few days. A more formal honeymoon would come later. Since Clay was generally the music guy a friend of his DJ'd the event and soon announced the entrance of the wedding party and they the newly married couple. As each pair walked in the crowd applauded with Amy and Ty getting the loudest one. But when Kate and Clay walked in the place erupted with applause and some tears of joy. Everyone made mention to Lou, Amy and Jack about how much Katie looked like Marion. Jack sat quietly watching over the celebration when Ty approached him with a beer. "Hey Jack, how are you doing. Isn't Katie beautiful?" He smiled, "Ty I have lived a charmed life and have always been surrounded by beautiful and caring women. Seeing Katie in her gown reminds me of walking Marion down for her wedding. And I can't deny that Amy, Georgie, Lyndy and your other girls are beautiful as well. We are very lucky men." Ty smiled in agreement and placed his arm on his shoulders clinking their beer bottles. Amy watched from across the room and grabbed Katie to walk over the them. She asked them smiling, "What are you to up to?" Jack smiled pulling them both into a hug, "Just happy and thinking of Lyndy and Marion. They would be so happy right now." JT snuck over th the foursome overhearing the conversation and jumping in GG's arms. "Don't' worry Grandpa, they are very happy, I know." The group stood silently and all hugged him together. He squirmed and spoke up, "Ok enough, I am just the messenger."

The reception continued with all of the ceremonies taken care of. Amy and Ty snuck in several dances in between dancing with the bride and groom and their kids. Georgie and Cass snuck some baby time with Nate and Rosey as well until they were hunkered down in Amy's old room for bedtime. Happily Will and Bethany made it with Beau and got a lot of attention from the Borden girls, Gwen and Sylvia. Billy was hanging with all the young boys including JT who would be staying at Fairfield overnight with Jenn and Ben with strict instructions on behaving. Lou was beaming and doing her share of baby holding. She was sitting with Katie, Georgie, Lyndy, Lisa Casey and Lilly holding the three newest members of the family. Georgie laughed and looked at her little sister, "So sis when are you going to add to the herd?" Katie's eyes opened wide, "Funny, not for a while but one day. Clay and I want to have kids for sure but want to wait for a while." Amy laughed, "That is a good plan, take some time to enjoy married life and be with your husband. We had Lyndy pretty early but knew we were ready. But even with kids make sure you and Clay have time for yourself. It is worth it, believe me." Lyndy and Georgie rolled their eyes as Lyndy blurted out, "Coming from the woman who gets caught making out all the time and who has a son who already understands what raincheck and sleeping in means." The whole group laughed at her comment but agreed completely." Amy blushed and smacked the both on the arms before she hugged them both. After food was served a number of emotional and funny speeches were given. The most emotional was from Jack who talked about the family and it's legacy. He couldn't help but mention the similarity between Katie and Marion and how he had talked with Ty about how lucky they were to be surrounded by beautiful, intelligent and caring women. The crowd was in tears as he spoke and a glint of one was in his eye as well. Clay's brother gave a hilarious speech about his brother and how lucky he was to have found Katie and most importantly that she agreed to marry him. He laughed, "It will remain a mystery forever that an amazing woman like Katie said yes to him, I don't get it!" The crowd erupted in laughter and applause as he toasted the happy couple.

As the reception wound down Jenn and Ben loaded up a bunch of very tired kids. Steven and Ty with them too and helped get them all settled. Just before the family called it a night Katie and Clay said their goodbyes, hugging everyone from their families. The saved a special hug for Amy and Ty, Lou and most importantly Jack. As they headed to the Dude Ranch, the family dispersed to their homes as the kids from the youth program cleaned up. The Borden's less JT walked into their house about ready to pass out. Everyone quickly got into bed and after Amy and Ty made a quick walk-through thanking all of them they headed to their room. They also got undressed and into their pajamas and held each other. Ty smiled, "That was a lot of fun and Jack's speech was amazing. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place, even Tim seemed misty eyed." She smiled laying into his chest. "I know I was balling, but I was really emotional when I saw you two talking before Katie and I came over. Ty, he loves you so much and I know what he means to you. I know it is silly but as he gets older I seem to cherish these moments more and more. I know it is silly but he is not getting any younger and I find myself wanting to spend more time with him. I want the kids to as well." She looked at him as her eyes misted. Ty held her tight, "Amy he is a pretty healthy man and I firmly believe that when you have something to love, you want to be there for it." They held each other quietly for a while when Amy noticed that Ty's breath was hitching. Sensing concern she drew back and looked at him. He had tears in his eyes and was crying. "Ty what's wrong are you Ok? Talk to me." He drew a breath. "On nights like this I just can't believe how lucky I am. I have great kids that I love to death, a father like Jack who has always believed in me. I have my mom back after so many years of the absence of love. I have amazing family and friends. But most of all I have you. When I looked at you across the stage during the ceremony it all hit me. What have I done to deserve all of this. Amy you are the most beautiful woman in the world and I am so happy you said yes." She hugged him tightly as he gathered himself. "Ty, you are an amazing father, son, family member and friend to everyone around you. You are kind, caring and supportive to me and the kids and especially Wyatt. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to you. I am so, so happy you said yes too." The snuggled with each other until a blissful sleep came to them. They were Amy and Ty and no one could the love for each other away.
