Amy was standing in her travel trailer waiting for the results of the little white stick. She had been feeling really off lately and realized yesterday that she was over a week late. As she stood watching her cell phone timer count down her mind wandered 2 months back...

Amy would be leaving for Europe in the morning. She and Ty were in the loft enjoying their last night together.

"I have to admit I'm a little nervous. I mean what if I get there and I'm not what they expect?"

"Amy you'll be fine. You're amazing and Ahmed knows that."

"I just wish you could come with me."

"I know but it's only a few months right? You'll be back in November and we'll get married in June like we've planned."

"Well...There is something I want to do before I leave."

"What?"

Amy didn't answer instead she flipped on top of him and kissed him. He responded and wrapped his arms around her pulling her close. They made out a little more and then Ty rolled on top of her. He slipped his tounge into Amy's mouth and Amy opened her mouth more to give him better access. But then Amy did something that took Ty by surprise. She snuck her hands to the front of his pants and unbuckled his belt. Her hands shook as she unbuttoned his jeans. His hands quickly stopped her.

"Amy what are you doing. We had agreed to wait."

"I know but I want you to have my whole heart when I leave. That way I know you won't leave.'

"Amy I'm not going anywhere."

She looked up at him and a single tear slid down her cheek.

"Please Ty? Make love to me."

He gulped but he knew that she would be so hurt if he refused. So he sighed and leaned down and kissed her. Then he pulled away and pulled off his jeans and his shirt. Amy's eyes gleamed and she copied. She pulled Ty back down to her and kissed him. He slowly began kissing her neck, sucking on her pulse point. He quickly slid off his boxers but before he removed her panties he hesitated. Amy looked down and nodded at him and helped slide them off. Ty didn't have a condom but he figured if he pulled out they would be ok. So he whispered in her ear that it would probably hurt before joining their bodies together gently. It did hurt Amy a lot but Ty was very gentle. After a few seconds it started feeling good. Amy pulled Ty as close as possible. He thrusted in a few more times and when he felt her walls squeezing him and he started softening he quickly pulled out. He layed on top of her for a few moments before rolling onto his side and pulling her close.

"I love you Amy."

"I love you too Ty."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amy jumped when her cell phone timer went off. Her heart was pounding and her hands were shaking. She walked over to the counter and looked at the stick. When she saw the little pink, very clear plus sign she cried. How could she have a baby now? She and Ty weren't even married yet and both of their careers were just starting to really take off. It was horrible timing. She didn't know what she wanted to do but she did know that she couldn't tell anyone yet. Ty would want to keep it she knew he would. Plus if Ahmed found out he would most likely send her home. She quickly hid the stick in the tiny bathroom drawer and walked outside to the makeshift stables. She was just tacking up a horse when Ahmed came over to the stall.

"Amy is there anyway you can come look at Aladdin, the stallion 2 stalls down."

"Of course. What seems to be the problem?"

"He keeps getting freaked out by loud noises. I don't understand why he hasn't ever had a problem before now."

"Ok i'll take a look at him right away."

Ahmed walked into his trailer and Amy went to Aladdin's stall. He was beautiful. He reminded Amy of Spartan. Amy slowly opened the stall door and walked in.

"Hey boy." She kept her voice quiet and walked slowly. The horse looked at her a whinnied. Amy held her hand out for him to smell. He did and nuzzled his head against her hand. She petted his neck. Then a handler was getting another horse out of a stall and accidently knocked over a rake. Aladdin reared up and Amy fell backwards. Aladdin's hooves came right down on Amy's ribs. She screamed out in pain. A few crew members quickly pulled her from the stall. They were asking her questions but all Amy could think about was the little life growing inside of her.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

An hour later Amy was laying on a bed in the emergency room. Her adrenaline had been pumping until now. Now she was worried about her unborn child. She was suppose to protect it and now Amy didn't know if it was even still alive. Amy looked at her cell phone which was lying on the bedside table. She wanted to call Ty. She wanted to tell him everything and for him to come and tell her everything would be ok. But she couldn't. However she needed to call someone and at least tell someone at Heartland what had happened. So she picked up her phone and called the house line. It rang twice until someone answered.

"Hello? Heartland ranch." Amy almost giggled as Katie could barely say Heartland.

"Hi Katie it's Aunt Amy."

Amy heard a gasp and then tiny feet running shouting "Mommy, Mommy it's Aunt Amy!"

Amy instinctively put a hand over her stomach. She could here people shuffling until her grandfather's voice spoke to her.

"Hi Amy. How's Europe?"

"It's uhh good. How's everyone."

"Fine everyone is just fine. How are you doing. I hope you're taking care of yourself."

"Umm that's actually why I'm calling."

She hesitated before telling her grandfather what had happened."

"I was working with a horse that was having a problem with loud noises. I was really starting to get him comfortable and someone accidently made a rake fall over. Aladdin went nuts and reared on me and I fell. He came down on my ribs."

"Amy you know better then to get in a confined space with a spooked horse. Why didn't you take him outside?"

"I wasn't thinking very clearly."

"I know you weren't. Are you ok? Where are you?"

"Ahmed made me go to the hospital so I'm in the emergency room. I'm waiting for x-rays."

"X-RAYS! It's bad enough that the doctors are ordering x-rays."

Amy could hear Ty and Lou's voices asking Jack questions.

"Grandpa calm down! The doctor says it is procedure. At least I think that is what he said he has a pretty heavy accent. I just wanted to warn Lou that the insurance would be getting a bill."

"Don't worry about the money Amy. You call me when the doctor gives you results ok?"

"Ok I promise. I love you guys."

"We love you too Amy."

Amy no sooner hung up the phone that her doctor came in. She had told him that she thought she was pregnant so he wanted to run a blood test.

"Miss. Fleming?"

"Yes." Amy sat up in bed.

"Well we ran your blood test and you are pregnant. Between 7-8 weeks I would say."

"So when would it be due?"

"March 6th. But that is just a guess based of the dates you gave me. A ob/gyn could be more accurate. Now I want to get an x-ray of your ribs. To keep baby safe we will but a lead blanket over your stomach."

"Ok."

After another 2 hours Amy finally got good news. Both she and the baby were fine however she had a fractured rib. Amy felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She was definitely pregnant and she was actually happy now. The idea of loosing her baby before even getting to meet it had gotten to her. Now she was excited but really nervous to tell Ty.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ty was pacing around the kitchen. he couldn't figure out how Jack and Lou were so calm. Amy, his Amy, had been hurt. He was waiting for her phone call saying whether or not she was ok. Mercifully the land line rang. Lou answered it immediately and put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lou it's Amy."

"Hey Amy your on speaker. Are you ok?"

"Yes. I fractured my rib but the doctor says it will heal fairly quickly. He just recommended a day off of work."

Jack answered her before Lou of Ty had the chance, "Are you sure your ok?"

"Yes Grandpa. I'm going to talk to Ahmed about some time off."

"Ok Amy just take care of yourself and be careful."

"I will."

"Well Ty is here too."

"Oh, hey Ty."

"Hey, are you sure you are ok."

"I'm positive I'm fine. I promise. I love you guys."

Lou spoke for all of them, "We love you too Amy. Just do us a favor and be more careful."

"I will. Bye."

With that she hung up the phone. Ty had a weird feeling that she wasn't being completely honest.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amy wanted to tell Ahmed what was going on. He needed to know that she is pregnant since it will effect her job. She realized yesterday that it was her responsibility to take care and protect this baby. So far she thought she was doing a pretty sucky job. She hasn't even been eating well. She normally has no time to cook a proper meal or to grocery shop so it's mostly take out for her. She realized that a growing baby needs more nutrition then that. Plus if she were to get seriously injured by a horse it could kill the baby. So she walked in to Ahmed's office before her shift. He was reading something on his laptop when she quietly knocked.

"Amy. Come in."

"Thanks. I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Alright, have a seat."

Amy sat and took a deep breath before she spoke.

"I recently found out that I am pregnant."

"Wow, congratulations. Was this planned?"

"Not at all and it took me a few days to come around to the news. But I see that it is a blessing."

"Well then again congratulations. Does Ty know?"

"No. I don't want to tell him over the phone and he can't afford to fly out here. But it's not something I can put off till November if I'm due in March."

"I completely agree. How about you go home for a week or two. I have some new horses flying back anyways. I'll get you a round trip ticket and you can escort the horses."

Amy could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Really?"

"Yes, you need to talk to Ty and I need someone to travel with the horses."

"Ok. Thank you so much."

"Of, course and when you come back you can do light training. However if something happens feel free to tell me and I can cancel your contract and pay you for your time."

"Thank you so much."

"Well you better go pack. You leave in the morning."

"Alright."

Amy practically ran to her trailer in less then 48 hours she would be back at Heartland.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amy was standing at the Heartland entrance staring at it. She was excited and nervous, but mainly she was excited. She wheeled her suitcase behind her and walked up the driveway. She saw Katie and Georgie standing by the round pen with Lou watching Jack and Ty work with a horse. Georgie spotted her and came running.

"Amy!" At that everyone turned and looked at her. Amy caught Georgie into a hug.

"Hey Georgie." Amy bent down and picked up Katie and walked towards the round pen while Georgie grabbed her suitcase.

"Hi everyone."

"Amy." Lou hugged her sister. "What are you doing back?"

"Ahmed needed someone to escort some horses back and I was getting a little homesick. I'm only home for a week."

"Oh ok."

Ty and Jack came out of the round pen and hugged her. Ty grabbed her suitcase from Georgie and helped her carry it inside and up to her room. As soon as he set the suitcase down he pulled her into a hug.

"It is so good to see you."

"It's good to see you too." She breathed in the scent of his jacket. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

Amy pulled away and hesitated. She couldn't keep her secret any longer.

"I need to tell you something and I don't know if you will like it."

He looked nervous, "Ok."

"You might want to sit down."

"No I'm good."

"Ok...I'm pregnant."

Ty just stared at her for a minute. Amy was actually worried that he had stopped breathing. But then he smiled.

"Are you serious."

"Yes. I know we didn't plan it but-" She was cut off by Ty's lips. When he pulled away he knelt on the ground and put a hand to her stomach.

"There's a baby in here."

Amy laughed, "Yes."

She put her hand over Ty's.

"This is amazing."

"Your ok with this?"

Ty looked up at her with a huge grin on his face.

"Ya, of course. I love you and I love our baby."

He took his hand off her stomach and placed a kiss there.

Amy felt a tear slide down her cheek. She was so happy that Ty was as excited as she was. He stood up and kissed her again.

"I love you Amy."

"I love you too."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amy and Ty decided to tell everyone at dinner tonight. They were all seated and Amy was telling them all about her work in Europe. Tim, Caleb and Mallory made a point to come. As Lou brought out the pies for dessert Amy glanced at Ty. He grinned at her and grabbed her hand under the table. Amy took a deep breath and cleared her throat getting everyone's attention.

"Um Ty and I have some news."

Everyone looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"We're expecting."

Georgie and Mallory gave excited squeals. Lou, Peter, Lisa, and Caleb stood up, hugged Amy and shook Ty's hand. Jack took a minute to process and gave his congratulations. Tim was red faced. He took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"You two are going to have a baby."

"Yes Dad."

"What are you going to do about Europe."

"I already told Ahmed and he agreed I would have to be more careful at work and that if I feel that I can no longer do my job anymore he will let me out of my contract and pay me the money for the rest of the time."

"Oh, ok I just didn't want you to think that you can do everything that you normally did. You're going to have to be extra careful."

"I know Dad."

After dinner Ty and Amy went up to her room and layed down on the bed.

"So that went better then expected."

"I know I thought Grandpa and Dad would be upset but they seem fine with it."

"How do you feel?"

"Ok, excited but I really want to see a doctor before I go back to Europe just to make sure everything is ok."

"Sounds good I want to make sure both of you are ok. How long do you think you will stay in Europe?"

"As long as I still can. We really need the money if we're having a baby."

"Yeah. I was thinking, since I only have 2 more classes to finish I could pick up some extra shifts with Scott. I could earn up to $350 a week that way. Every little bit helps."

"Are you sure? I mean you already have so much on your plate."

"I'll be fine."

"Did I mention I love you?"

"Once or twice."

He leaned down and sweetly kissed her then he kissed the spot where their baby was growing.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amy and Ty were sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called for their appointment. They were at the ob/gyn in Hudson County for their first sonogram.

"Miss. Fleming?"

Amy and Tyler stood and followed a nurse through the door. After she weighed Amy she lead them into a small exam room. She began asking Amy some basic questions about her eating and sleeping habits and her symptoms. She told her to change into a gown and told them that the doctor would be in shortly. Amy changed and sat on the table. She had just adjusted the scratchy blanket on her lap when the doctor walked in.

"Hello Amy. I'm Dr. Pratt."

"Hi, this is my fiancé Ty Borden."

"Hello Ty," Dr. Pratt shook Ty's hand then he walked over to a machine in the corner and pulled it out.

"Alright so you said that you are between 8-9 weeks?"

"That's what the doctor in Europe told me. He said my due date was most likely be March 6th."

"Ok lets take a look. Lay back for me."

He turned on the machine and grabbed a bottle that was next to it.

"Ok this will be a little cool."

He squirted the gel onto Amy's still flat stomach. Ty grabbed her hand and they both looked at the screen. The doctor moved the doppler around her stomach until he found the baby. Suddenly the sound of their baby's heartbeat filled the tiny room. It was the best thing Amy had ever heard.

"Alright the baby's heartbeat sounds good and your other doctor was right about the due date."

He moved the doppler again and an image came onto the screen. Ty tightened his grip on Amy's hand. She glanced up at him smiling and saw a huge grin and teary eyes. She looked back at the screen in awe. That was their son or daughter.

"Ok the baby looks good. Here is an arm and here's the head."

Amy was starting to tear up now. This was something that she and Ty created together. This was a miracle. The doctor pulled the doppler off of Amy and the nurse helped her wipe the gel off of her stomach and readjust her gown. Amy sat up and leaned into Ty.

"Alright everything looks healthy so far. Here are some pamphlets for both of you on general prenatal care and what to expect over the next few weeks. I want to stress to you the importance of going to a doctor while you are in Europe. Also take it easy with the horses. You can keep riding for now but when you get bigger you need to stop. Just be careful, take your vitamins, eat around 5 times a day, low stress, and get mild exercise a day."

"Ok thank you Dr. Pratt."

The doctor walked out of the room and Amy changed back into her clothes. The nurse came back into the room with a small paper bag that she handed to Amy.

"Ok here are your pamphlets, 2 months worth of prenatal vitamins, and your baby's first pictures."

"Ok thank you."

Amy and Ty walked out of the doctors office out to Ty's jeep. Once inside Amy grabbed the picture of the baby and squealed. Ty laughed and leaned in to look too.

"Holy crap that's ours."

"I know and it's September now. So we have 7 months to get ready."

"We can do it."

Amy smiled and kissed him. Yes they could.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
