Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Three

Checking In

A/N – Another date in the books for Lyndy and Wyatt. Outside of Amy, Ty and JT I always receive a lot of feedback and opinions on this young couple. With teenagers, relationships are a struggle but it seems they are doing well. My last chapter hopefully continued to show the growth of some of the characters, which is always a path I like to take. I am really having fun with the Soraya interactions and will insert them as the whim takes me. There will be another big one as our two main characters talk through the struggles they are having with their little boy. I am going to continue to move ahead in bigger time chunks as we get close to Spring Break. I have a lot of ideas on that! As I have hinted a big surprise is on the way and to balance things out a difficult challenge that will impact many of our characters. And then there is Mallory… Also I plan to insert some micro stories on some of the other characters as well. A lot going on for sure. Keep me in line by providing reviews and ideas. I received a great idea that will be showing up soon, one I would have never thought of. I genuinely thank everyone for their thoughts. Mature Content Enjoy!

Follow Up – I continue to receive great feedback and a lot of ideas from my readers. I understand it is your choice but I respond to every review and unless you allow me to I cannot respond to everyone. Either way I continue to enjoy your feedback and am overwhelmed with the number of readers I have. THANK YOU ALL.

The next few weeks for the Borden's was going to be action packed. On top of their continuing surge in the business they had 3 nights of parent teacher meetings as well as a second session with Soraya. Lyndy had another evaluation for the team that was being selected at Goddard and had been practicing as much as she could. Annie had become her cheerleader and made sure she was there, with Wyatt to urge her on. Maddie was still politicking for the trip to England and although they hadn't told her Amy and Ty had already bought her ticket and made sure Soraya was good with it. Of course she was and they planned to tell her in a few days. Amy and Ty also had a follow up visit to the medical team with JT and planned to talked to the school staff when they went for his meeting. Again each level of school had different nights and the staff worked with them since they had a lot of kids. Tuesday would be the elementary, Wednesday the middle school and Thursday the high school. It was quite the scheduling challenge but Amy seemed to had everything lined up. They also had a scheduled Thursday day meeting at Goddard to talk to the staff there as well. It was a challenge but they were prepared and excited. They would be able to eat dinner but would leave right after and Katie, Georgie and Lou would come over and hang out while they were gone each night. Lyndy protested saying that her and Wyatt could handle it but lost out. At Monday morning breakfast the week of the meetings, Amy took some time to go over the week's schedule. Since they would be gone three nights, the kids had to handle a few extra things. "Now don't forget you guys you need to have your study sessions, so Wyatt and Lyndy will keep you on task. Annie and Addie, you take JT and make sure you settle all of our horses for the night. Maddie, you have the most important role, Make sure that the table is cleaned, the horses are good and the study session is done. And I need you to help JT get ready to bed and the next day." Maddie puffed her chest as JT shrugged. "He scowled, I can take care of myself." Maddie laughed, "I know you can I will just be there if you need anything." He smiled meekly and immediately Ty, Amy and Lyndy noticed something. After they cleaned up Amy and Lyndy went to his room as he got ready. Lyndy spoke up, "He buddy what's on your mind?" He put his head down. "Well I have had a feeling lately thinking about Grandma Lilly. Last night Grandma Marion talked to me and told me to tell dad to call her. Mom, I am afraid to tell him because something seems off." They both hugged him and Amy whispered, "Honey don't worry I will talk to your dad today and once we know we will let you know." Lyndy smiled, "Hey how about Wyatt and I take you and Maddie to school today." He smiled broadly, "That would be cool!"

After the kids were gone Amy and Ty grabbed their tablets and headed over to the office. Ty noticed that his wife seemed a little quiet. "Hey Ames, what's going on, was the talk with JT Ok?" She stopped and looked into his eyes getting right to the point, "Ty he said he has a feeling that something is up with your mom." She hesitated and continued, "He said he talked to my mom last night and she told him to tell you to call her." Ty thought for a second, "Well I spoke to her late last week and she seemed Ok, just tired. I will give Max a call when we get to the office. Maybe we should call school to and make sure they keep an eye on him. This is just the thing that may cause an episode." Ty put his arms around her and held her close. "I agree, why don't you call them and then I will give Max a call." They walked into the office with their arms around each other in support. Caleb was going to follow them in but Ty glanced over shaking his head so he would give them some privacy. He would normally think they were going to mess around but he knew this was different. He made sure no one bothered them until they came out. Ty decided to wait and listen in a Amy called school. "Hello, this is Amy Borden, can I ask a favor." Her voice was shaking as she continued, Can you get a message to JT Borden's teacher or even better can I speak with her." The voice on the line said, "Actually she is right here." She spoke up, "Amy is something wrong?" Amy took a breath, "Well we don't think so but JT had a busy weekend and he told me he spoke to my mom last night while he was sleeping." Before she continued the teacher spoke up, "We completely understand, I will alert the rest of the team including his counselor. We got him so don't worry. If we need you we will call but I am sure he is fine. He has really done well over the last month or so, as happy and carefree as ever. And I have to say Trent is amazing and has helped him." Amy's shoulders relaxed and Ty rubbed her back, "Well thank you, for everything." She hung up and melted into Ty's arms, "I really hate this feeling, I feel so helpless." He held her tight, "Everything will be fine, I know it." Amy pulled back, "Oh my god, you have to call Max, I almost forgot." He smiled as it was now his time to make a call.

Now it was time for Amy to be there for her husband. He sighed and called Max. After several rings Max picked up. "Ty what a surprise, is everything Ok?" He spoke directly, "Well we are all fine, are you alone?" Yes, well actually I just finished having a coffee with my son-in-law but I can talk." In the background he heard his son-in-law say hello and then mentioned he needed to be on his way. When Max said goodbye he spoke, "Ok I am all yours, is Amy with you?" Amy smiled, hello Max, you know JT really misses his fishing buddy." Max laughed but then with concern asked, "Well you tell him I do to, is everything Ok with him?" Ty took over, "He is really doing well and I know he enjoys his chats with mom, seems they are good for each other." There was an awkward moment of silence when Max spoke, "Well I know Lilly really looks forward to them and is always in good spirits after them. But I think you have another question." Ty smiled, "Well you are right and I will get right to the point. This morning JT told me to call my mom, even telling us that Marion insisted that I call as well. So here we are." Max hesitated, "Well Ty and Amy, Lilly has been so strong and for the most part things have gone well. She has been battling even though she has had some setbacks. Ty, I have to be honest with you, she has been struggling the last week or so. The last test she went through really took a lot out of her. Without the calls from you and JT I don't know how she could cope with it. She has shown amazing strength when I know she is not feeling well." Max took a breath as Ty and Amy sat unable to say anything. "We always knew she would have to go down before she could begin recovery, that is how this process works. The medical team is still optimistic but have been slightly concerned that her body can withstand the process." He chuckled, "The lead doctor said that they needed to hire JT to be with her as he seemed to be the only person that helped her strength. But I don't think that is something we want to put on him right now." As Ty processed everything Amy spoke up, "We understand that Max but I think the strength flows both ways. How about we set up a call where we can all talk to her this evening if Lilly is up to it." Max spoke, "I think that would be great but before we bring the entire family on, Ty I think you and your mom should talk. She would really like that." Ty finally was able to speak, "Actually if it is Ok I will call her at lunch so we don't alarm the kids." They all agreed and Amy and Ty set up the times and thanked Max for the heads up.

Ty's call at lunch went well but all-day Amy went out of her way to keep an eye on her husband. She brought Caleb, Steven, Georgie and Katie in the loop so they shielded him as well. The day luckily was busy and as they walked back to the house to meet the kids Amy leaned into him, "How was your talk?" He smiled, "It went well, she sounded tired and of course said she was fine. She is excited about the family call but Amy I want to go see her and I want you to come. And I think we should bring JT." Amy thought for a moment, "I think that is a great idea." They waited for the kids and began to get dinner ready. As the Bordens sat at dinner Amy let them know that after dinner they were all going to video call Grandma Lilly. There were a few questions but the kids understood not to press, they could see the strain in their father's eyes. JT glanced over at his dad and smiled, silently telling him it was a great idea. They all stayed at the table after the cleaned up and Amy made the call on her laptop so everyone could see the screen. When they picked up a smiling Max and Lilly were on the screen. Lilly immediately smiled and said, "Wow all of you are there, this technology is awesome, it's like we are all in the same room." Everyone laughed and each of the kids said hello. Active conversation continued as each of them talked about what was going on at school and fun time. Lilly spoke to Lyndy and Wyatt, "So you two, how was your date, did you make out and stuff." Lyndy blushed wildly and the rest of them laughed. "Grandma, I don't kiss and tell." Lilly laughed, "Well he is a good-looking young man so don't mess up. I told your dad the same thing about your mom. Just like them you two are good for each other." After a happy silence, Addie broke in, "Come on grandma don't urge them on. The four of them can be a little gross at times." Max laughed, "kind of like when you and Desi are together." She hushed and Annie laughed, "Wow Addie he got you there." After about a half hour Max noticed that Lilly was tiring, "Well we need to sign off and you guys need to study." Lilly smiled not wanting the call to end, "Thank you all for calling and I love you all so much. Talk to you soon." The Bordens sat for a moment and JT spoke up, "It was good that we called, I am sure Grandma liked it." They all agreed and went to settle the horses and have their study session. After rounds Amy and Ty went to their room to get ready for bed. Overall Ty had been quiet and when Amy joined him in bed he as on his side with misty eyes. No words were said as she held him close, until sleep came.

At breakfast Amy went over the schedule for the next three days, specifically when they would be meeting with their teachers at night. The girls were excited that Katie would be with them one night. She just moved into her 2nd trimester and was staring to show. After her last checkup, Clay was beside himself in happiness showing the ultrasound picture to everyone he saw. When he showed it to a bunch of the ranch hands, Rusty saw it and joked, "It looks like a blob?" Clay retorted, "Yea but is Katie and my blob. You may be out of the godfather running now." The group broke out in laughter. Amy and Ty were going to be busy as they had to schedule some extra things to be able to go to the conferences but silently Amy was happy. I helped Ty keep his mind off his mom. The first night of conferences was at the elementary school. First on the docket was Maddie and as always the teaching team was completely satisfied with her school work, which as always was exemplary. They continued to compliment her relationship with Gwen and Sylvia and added Caroline. One teacher added, "You know Maddie has a unique ability to bring people together. Caroline is extremely shy but the three of them have really brought her out of her shell." They thanked them and saw Dillon and Soraya walk in. Amy and Soraya hugged and the men shook hands. Soraya laughed, "Let me guess, Maddie is rocking it as always." Amy blushed, "She is doing well and the teachers said that her little crew have brought Caroline into the fold." Dillon smiled, "Those three are all she talks about. In England they don't do a good job integrating kids with special needs. I think it is awesome." They all smiled as Amy and Ty headed to JT's room. As the entered the lead teacher immediately greeted them and took them to a private conference room. She smiled, "Nothing to be alarmed about, with JT's situation we just wanted to be a little more private." Happy for the accommodation they walked into the room to see the rest of the team as well as the counselor and nurse. Alarms went off immediately as they sat down. A panic was in their face as the school nurse began to speak.

"Amy and Ty please don't be alarmed but JT had a somewhat insignificant episode today. He was sitting quietly and looked as though he was daydreaming. The teacher immediately called me and when I arrived, Trent was with him talking quietly. Did something happen with his grandma?" Ty nervously answered, telling them the story of his conversation with Amy's mom and how he asked him to call his mom. The nurse shook her head in understanding, "That is exactly what he told me and I promise you he recovered and in minutes was back to his class work. I called the medical team and we decided to wait and tell you in person and by the way, JT asked that as well." The other teacher spoke up, "And we all were all a overwhelmed at how Trent immediately stepped in before we even know what was going on. He seems to have a calming effect on him. If you are OK we plan to talk to his mom about it. Amy laughed, "Well that is great to know and his mom has been in our lives since she was very young and currently is managing our Day Care Center. Let me warn you she is a handful." They all laughed and went over JT's accomplishments in school. They assured them he continues to do very well and will have no problem moving to Kindergarten next semester even though he will not be five yet. They smiled and thanked them for everything. As they were walking out Mallory came in so Amy introduced her to the team. "This is Mallory Wells the mother of Trent and our dear friend." Mallory chuckled, "More like a member of the family, hello." Ty laughed, "Remember we warned you." Mallory gave him the evil eye as Amy hugged her and the Borden's headed home. The next night at the middle school also went well. Even though Addie and Annie had several classes together they still took the time to talk about them individually. Annie continued to flourish in math and science. They talked through several of her projects and that she should continue her time with the high school kids. She had been working with them one morning a week along with a few classmates. The science teacher spoke up, "She is excelling with the work with the high school group. I have been doing some research and after this year we may look at some additional projects." Amy smiled and added, "Well you may know this but she is also becoming quite skilled working with horses. We will let he decide so any options she can take advantage of will help for sure." They talked about Addie next confirming that she did well in all areas but continued to excel in hands on mechanical things. One teacher laughed, "The shop teacher asked her if he could see something called Old Blue?" Ty laughed, "Really, well Old Blue is my 1958 GMC pickup and it still runs. In fact we drove it here tonight. Addie keeps up the maintenance on it." They laughed as a group until one younger teacher, who was new to their team, spoke up. "Hi, I am Beth and I just joined the team this semester and I have to say your two daughters are pretty amazing. I still struggle with telling them apart and I have to say they are beautiful girls. It seems they do dress differently and have different personalities so that should help me differentiate them. But I have to ask. Several times I have heard them huddling together, especially when one of them seems troubled and I can't understand the words they are using, do they speak a different language." The lead teacher laughed, "I have this Mr. and Mrs. Borden. "Well like other twins they have developed their own language." Amy added, "When they were younger the developed it and used it a lot more than they do now. We were told it is completely normal and for us it has become a part of who they are. And to give you full disclosure another connection they have is that they can feel what the other is thinking. One day Annie was hurt at school and Addie sat up, asked her teacher to leave the room and ran to her sister, who was in the nurses office. It is pretty amazing but for them it is normal." The lead teacher added, "So Beth if one of them seems to need to be with their sister we all know to let them go." Beth laughed, "I definitely have to do some research, that is amazing." Amy and Ty thanked the team and headed home. Two schools down and two to go.

The final day was here for Lyndy and Wyatt. Just after lunch, Amy and Ty headed over to Goddard to meet with the instructors and watch one of her sessions. They sat quietly, holding each other's hand watching their daughter glide through her routine. Lyndy noticed them when she was done and came over to hug them, "How long have you been here?" Ty smiled a little misty eyed, "Long enough to see how amazingly beautiful you are." Lyndy blushed, "Daddy, you're embarrassing me." They said their goodbyes and went to meet with the instructors. The lead instructor greeted them and spoke, "Well as you saw and Lyndy continues to excel and is one of our strongest dancers." Another instructor spoke up as well, "And she is not just strong in one style but we believe that ballet seems to be her best platform." Amy and Ty smiled and she added, "Well I know she loves the ballet part and is really excited about the possibility of the upcoming competition she is trying out for." The other instructor laughed, "We haven't made all of our decisions but I can assure you she will be there representing us for sure. We will be making the announcement tomorrow so if you can keep it to yourselves that would be great. In fact, since you are here, her is the information packet. The school alumni group is paying for everything for you daughter and one guest. We have never seen such a composed young woman and we expect she will do well. She is a joy and you both should be proud of what she has and will accomplish." Amy and Ty blushed and thanked the team. As they walked out Amy was giddy, "I don't know how I am going to keep this from her." Ty looked at her sternly, "Amy you need to keep this under wraps and don't tell Lou, Mallory or Maddie." She frowned, "Fine." On the ride home she snuggled into him closely rubbing his leg. He raised his eyebrow and chuckled, "Amy you know I am driving. What is it about this truck that makes you so frisky?" She giggled, "What, I can't show affection to my husband. Ty this truck is where I became a woman, got my promise ring, and so much more. I love this truck, I love my kids and I really love you." The rest of the ride home was silent as they headed back home.

After a dinner filled with a lot of questions Amy and Ty headed to the high school. Again the staff understood that they needed to have time with both Lyndy and Wyatt's teachers but they did have several together. In the past they split up but this time they wanted to do it together so after the logistics were worked out they headed to Lyndy's room. They were able to meet with all of her teachers and everyone said how well she was doing, even with the fact that her scheduled included her time at Goddard. Her counselor, who was also Wyatt's, spoke up. "Mr. and Mrs. Borden I have to say that those two young people really care for each other. But what is amazing is they don't flaunt it. So many kids are all over each other always hugging and kissing. With Lyndy and Wyatt it is different. When they walk together or talk you see a confidence and respect. It is very easy to see that they are close but is seems so much more mature that the other kids. To be honest it is refreshing for many of us to see a couple like them. Are they close like that around you?" Amy smiled and blushed a little, "Well I am not sure how much she has talked to you but they are very close. We are sure they are in love but not a child's love but a mature and nurturing one. They are 100% are committed to each other and respect each other completely. There is a lot of pressure from their friends to move forward and trust me we see it, but Lyndy has been very open with me. And Wyatt has a great relationship with Ty since he has no one else." Ty spoke up, "Of course being a guy is a little different but we have had several conversations and he has assured me over and over that he completely respects our daughter and I for one believe him." The counselor smiled, "Well they have spoken to me as well, not as detailed but they are both very open. I am confident that they will make the right decisions moving forward." Lyndy and Wyatt shared a lot of teachers so Amy and Ty took a little time to meet with the few teachers they did not. As a whole the reports were great. Lyndy continued to excel in all of her classes and Wyatt did as well with an extra emphasis on his science and math skills. The science teacher spoke to them directly, Wyatt may not admit it but he is excelling in science, especially biology. He has mentioned that he wants to get into medicine and trust me he has the capability." Ty smiled, "Well he has taking an interest in veterinary work and has shadowed some of us. Maybe it is time to get him a little more hands on." They agreed and Amy and Ty headed home after thanking the team. As they laid in bed they were exhausted as it had been a long week for them. They chatted about each of the kids and decided to meet with them one on one to talk about what the teachers had said. All was well as they held each other close and fell into a blissful sleep.

Over the next few days Amy and Ty made sure they sat with each of the kids individually, even Annie and Addie, who protested. The conversations went well as they made sure they let them speak their minds. JT apologized for not telling them about his episode but reasoned that the team at school wanted to talk to them first. He pleaded, "Mom and Dad it wasn't bad at all and I was completely aware of what was going on. It was like my mind started to wander. Everything with Grandma Lilly and my talk with Grandma Marion were in my mind and all at once it was there and I couldn't ignore it." Amy smiled and cuddled her son, "It's Ok baby, we are just happy you are Ok. It seems Trent was a big help." He smiled blushing a little, "He was right there when it happened and help shield me from the others. Sometimes the rest of the kids can be mean and he protected me. He is the best friend ever." The talk with Maddie went well although as usual she controlled most of the conversation. She was so happy that Caroline was opening up and that Gwen and Sylvia called her one of the posse. Annie was really excited about the chance to continue to broaden her science skills with the high school kids. "You know I know they are older but the really have accepted me and I am learning a lot." Amy smiled, "Well you let us know if it gets where you don't want to do it. And I have to tell you I mentioned how you were becoming more adept at working with horses. Your counselor said that you had talked to her and that she said that science can be a benefit in your love of helping them." Addie was pumped when Ty mentioned that one day he would drive her and Annie to school in Old Blue and Amy would pick him up. "That will give you all day to show it off, but before we go talk to your shop teacher." She was so excited but Amy reminded her, "You are doing great but don't forget, all of your classes on important." She smiled in agreement. The conversation with Wyatt went extremely well as he was very comfortable sitting with both of them. Ty talked about having him shadow Steven and Cass to see how they work. He was excited and thanked both of them, "I just can't tell you both how much your support and love mean to me. I miss my parents and especially my grandma but you are here for me now and I really love you both for that." Again he hugged both of them as Amy teared up a bit. The met with Lyndy last as they wanted to spend a good amount of time with her, especially since she came home on Friday screaming with joy about being selected for the team going to Denver. She blabbered on as the rest of the family was so excited for her. Wyatt was quiet but beamed with joy for his girlfriend. When they sat down with her they talked about how she was doing overall while juggling two schools. Amy smiled, "Honey, the teams at Goddard and Hudson High have nothing but great things to say about you. We know you have a lot on your plate but never forget that you can talk to us if it becomes overwhelming. I know you know this but your foundation is the family and of course Wyatt." Lyndy blushed, "Did the counselor talk about us?" Ty smiled, "Yes she did but it was all positive. She is very happy with how you conduct yourself as a couple and says it is refreshing." She smile hugging them both tightly. "So they said you knew and have the information, can we look at it." They all huddled around and went through everything realizing they had some decisions to make.

The next week was pretty routine for the family after the high of great parent/teacher meetings and Lyndy's big news. Several of the kids were jockeying to go along except Maddie, whose trip to England was booked. Wyatt was struggling a bit as he wanted to go but also wanted her to do it alone, being concerned that he may distract her. They sat and talked about it and decided he would stay home and call her a lot. The competition was 3 weeks after spring break so they had plenty of time to make decisions as a family. Amy and Ty were extremely busy. Amy had several challenging new horses and with Katie's expanding baby bump and Georgie not feeling well they were pushed to the max. Ty and Scott had two extremely difficult surgeries schedule for high level clients. If things went well not only would their reputations grow but it could open the door for more higher-level clients. But most importantly on the schedule was their second sit down with Soraya. Although minor, JT's last episode reignited their concerns. After great week of parent teacher conferences, the night before the session, Amy and Ty laid in bed. Amy had been a little frisky all day and immediately she began to kiss and touch him. They both needed the closeness of each other as they had been talking about the session. Their intimate conversation turned into passionate foreplay. Their love making was not an escape from reality but a way that they could show each other that no matter what they would always be there for each other. Being the aggressor, Amy quickly removed her pajamas and his boxers. She giggled, "Now I have you right where I want you." Her kisses and touches were aggressive but tender. Her lips were bringing him a high level of pleasure as they roamed all over his body. He was breathless as she nipped every spot he loved causing him to moan and call out her name. Once she was done he went on the offensive bringing her to a level of pleasure that only he could do. As his lips kissed and fingers fondled her most private parts she arched her back and moaned his name over and over. Ty always brought her a release that was driven by their love. In this world it was just them and no one else. She moved over him and the joined as one body. Their movements were in unison as their moans and whispers increased. As their climax came, Amy put her hands over her mouth covering her scream of extasy. She collapse on top of him completely out of breath and shimmering with sweat. It took them a moment to recover but eventually they faced each other as close as they could. Their arms and legs were intertwined as they calmed. Finally Amy breathlessly whispered into his chest. "I am ready for tomorrow and I know everything will be fine." She put her hand over her chest, "I feel it here." He chuckled, "I like feeling it there too." She rolled her eyes and poked his ribs as they snuggled.

After the kids headed off to school Soraya showed up for their session. Since they were so busy she offered to do a house call. The set up on the kitchen table with coffees. Soraya reviewed the notes from their first meeting and they talked about Ty's call to Lilly. Ty was considering a trip to see him and Soraya recommended that Amy go and maybe JT due to his close relationship with her. She sat back, "So let's talk about the little guy, who wants to go first?" Amy leaned forward and began telling her all of the details of his condition and how scared she was as a mother. "Soraya, I just wish I could take all his pain from him. He is a strong kid but he was scared. To be honest he was brave and wants to protect us but I think he is most open with Lilly. They really lean on each other for support. What makes it even worse for me is when he tells us about talking to my mom and grandma and the messages they give to him." She took a drink to gather herself as Soraya spoke up. "I have read about his ability to connect with them and it has been documented by others. I firmly believe that he can connect with them. He is the most amazing 4-year-old I have ever met. I am not going to tell you how to feel but if anyone can handle this, he can. He is scared but he is strong. He is strong because of you two, your kids, Jack and Lilly." Ty smiled, "We know but as parents we still feel like we need to be there to help him. Like Amy, I want to take all the pain away from him. You know as parents we want are children to have happy and healthy lives. Amy and I have really had to be there for him and will never let him down." Soraya smiled, "There you go again. Amy remember what I said when you two had finally got together finally and Ty rode you on a horse to the bus so you wouldn't be late." Amy thought as she answered, "I said you two are amazing and you are. Your kids are lucky to have you guys as parents. Continue to be there for him and each other and everything will be Ok." They talked a little longer about the kids and Lilly as Soraya finally walked her to her car. After hugs and thank yous she headed out. Amy and Ty walked over to the office and noticed commotion by one of the round pens. Alarmed the headed over and saw a distressed Steven and Katie kneeling over an obviously distressed Georgie. Amy joined them concerned as her glassy eyed niece sat up with help and whispered, "What happened." Steven pulled her into a hug, "G you passed out." Caleb pulled up in of the ATVs so Steven and Georgie could get on. Katie went with them so she could help get her settled in back at Heartland. Amy and Ty said they would get the kids and bring them home when they were ready for them. Amy was concerned and held onto Ty. "I better call Lou, Ty I hope she is Ok."
