Epilogue – 4 years later.

"TJ! Get back here!" Amy shouted as she ran after her three-year-old son. Once she caught up to him, she picked him up and made him look at her, "Thomas-James Borden! What have daddy and I told you about running off like that?" She asked, sternly.

"I just wanted to see daddy!" TJ mumbled, "I am sorry mommy."

"I know you did, but I told you to wait for me. Now come on, let's go and find daddy shall we?" Amy asked. TJ nodded his head and the pair of them walked over to the clinic. Amy put the toddler on the ground and let him run into Ty's office.

"DADDY!" TJ Shouted as he jumped up at Ty, who was sorting out the filing cabinet.

"TJ!" Ty exclaimed, as he picked up his excited little boy, "How are you?"

"I good. Can I go look at the horses?" He asked.

"Yeah sure dude, Ste is through there with Georgie now," Ty said, putting him down on the floor and watching him toddle off through to the barn. He stood up and walked over towards Amy, "Happy anniversary Mrs Borden," He smirked, giving her a kiss.

"Mmmm, happy anniversary Dr Borden," She replied, putting her arms around his neck.

"Are you looking forward to our little get away tonight? It's been a while," He asked.

"Yep. It has been a very long time, but I am really looking forward to it, we haven't been up to the fishing cabin for a couple of years, so it seems like a perfect place to spend our anniversary." She replied, giving him another kiss.

"It does, doesn't it? I don't have any surgeries, or any appointments today, so if you want, I can watch TJ while you have some time to yourself?" Ty suggested.

"No, I have a better idea, how about a family trail ride? Up to the lake, let TJ have a paddle, have a picnic. Then he will be all tired out, so hopefully not too much trouble for Georgie and Ste tonight." She replied.

"Ooo, that sounds fun. Do you want me to watch the little terror while you sort some stuff out? We will tack up Spartan and Harley," He said.

"Okay, do you want turkey sandwiches for lunch then? You know, my speciality as you used to say?" She asked.

Ty chuckled and gave her a quick kiss, "Yes, that sounds awesome. Me and TJ will pick you up at the house, in say, half an hour?"

"Okay then. See you then." She replied, giving him another kiss.

Amy walked over to the house and Buster jumped up at her, almost knocking her off of her feet, "Hey Buster! I do hope you are good for Ste and Georgie tonight…" Amy laughed as she backed away so he could stand on the floor. She scratched behind his ears and let him out of the house so he could have a run about the yard. She went into the kitchen and packed the three of them a lunch. She looked out the window and saw Ty and TJ on Harley ponying Spartan across the yard. Amy smiled and looked at the pair of them, TJ was the spitting image of Ty, and had all his mannerisms. Although, Ty insisted that TJ had her temper and stubbornness! She picked up the bags and walked outside to meet the boys, "Wow, look at you TJ! You look so tall up there! Are you gonna ride with daddy?" she asked as she fixed the bags to Spartan's saddle.

"Yep! Hurry up mommy I want to go!" TJ shouted.

"Yeah, hurry up mommy, we want to go!" Ty teased as Amy mounted Spartan.

"Alright, alright!" Amy replied as set off to the lake.

Once they got to the lake, they dismounted the horses and set out a blanket for lunch, TJ sat between Amy and Ty as they all ate their lunch. "Wow mommy this is good!" He exclaimed, stuffing the remains of his sandwich into his mouth.

"I can tell you have enjoyed it! You have got it everywhere! Why don't you run round for a while before we go into the lake so you don't get attacked by all the birds trying to eat the crumbs off your trousers!" Amy laughed. TJ giggled and stood up, he began running round in the grass.

"So, what did you think about the lunch?" Amy asked, as she scooted over to Ty.

"It was amazing, thank you. What a perfect day to celebrate our anniversary ey, spending time together just the three of us, and then spending some quality alone time together, tonight. The place where we declared our love for one another. I think it is going to be amazing, I love you Mrs Borden." He complimented, leaning in for a kiss.

"I love you too, Dr Borden," She replied, leaning in towards him. Just as their lips met, they were interrupted by TJ shouting them.

"COME ON! I WANNA GO IN THE WATER!" He shouted, running back over to them and taking his shoes and socks off. Ty and Amy pulled apart and took their shoes and socks off too. They each took one of TJ's hand and walked over to the lake. They took a couple of steps in and TJ let go of their hands and started jumping and splashing them both, "Hey dude! Cut it out!" Ty exclaimed. After another 10 minutes of splashing about, Ty and Amy took TJ out over to the blanket and quickly got him changed into some dry clothes.

"Right bud, are you riding with me, or with mommy on the way home?" Ty asked. TJ yawned and pointed towards Ty. Amy carried him over to the horses and passed him up to Ty.

"Come on then buddy, let's get home. You can go for a nap when me and mommy leave, okay?" Ty asked, to which TJ just half-heartedly nodded in response. Amy got on Spartan and the three of them rode back to the ranch. Once they got back to the ranch, they went into the barn and let Georgie and Stephen take the horses while they went and sorted TJ out.

"Ok TJ, you go to sleep now. Daddy and me will see you tomorrow. Love you bud," Amy whispered, tucking him into his bed and giving him a kiss on his forehead.

"Good bye TJ, see you tomorrow," Ty did, giving him a kiss on his forehead too. TJ closed his eyes and fell straight to sleep. Ty and Amy slowly backed out of his room and went into the living room, where Ste and Georgie were watching a film.

"Right, he should sleep for about an hour, and put him to bed about seven or half 7. The later the better, otherwise you will have him jumping on your bed at 5am! Are you two all set in the guest room?" Amy asked.

"Yep, everything is sorted. I made up Katie's old room for Katie this afternoon, so you two don't have to worry about a thing. Now, you best go before TJ wakes up and guilt trips you in not going!" Georgie replied.

"Yeah, you two go. Have a good night." Ste said.

"Alright, well, you know where everything is, use the radio if you need us. But don't need us. Please," Ty laughed.

"No, if you need us, radio us and we will be back within the hour. Have a nice night, and thank you for babysitting!" Amy said as Ty took her hand and started leading her out the door. When they got outside, Ty took the keys to his old truck and they both threw their bags in and set off to the fishing cabin.

Once they got to the cabin, it was 6pm, they had hit a bad traffic jam on the way there. They put their bags inside and Ty wrapped his arms around her, "Mmm we are finally alone." He murmured.

"I know, it's gonna be such a good night!" She replied, "I am looking forward to getting my present."

"Who says I have even got you anything?" He teased, looking her in the eyes with a mischievous grin.

"Whatever. Are we gonna cook the steaks now?" She asked, giving him a kiss.

"Yeah, I am starving. Plus, steak and potatoes are like tradition on our anniversaries!" He replied. The couple shared a couple of kisses before going outside and lighting up the fire. Ty cooked the food and insisted that Amy just watched, "You know, there is something about a man who cooks," She said as she observed the chef in action.

"Oh yeah? Well, I am sure there will be something even more about me after tonight," He teased, leaning down and giving her a kiss.

"Really? Well, I sure am looking forward to that," She replied, "Are you sure you don't need me to do anything?"

"Nope. I always cook on anniversary nights, you just sit back and watch your handsome husband cook his steaks!" He replied.

"Alright, alright. If you insist!" Amy replied, sitting back. Ty carried on cooking and Amy just sat and watched him, she couldn't believe that he was the same man that she fell in love with all those years ago.

"Hey dreamy!" Ty exclaimed, waving his hand in front of her face, bringing her out of her little day dream.

"Yeah?" She asked, shaking her head.

"Dinner is ready." He replied, handing her a plate and sitting down next to her. The pair of them sat and enjoyed their dinner, exchanging in light conversation, one that always lead back to TJ.

After they had finished their food, Ty suggested they went for a walk, seeing as it was summer, it was still light out. They decided to go and watch the sun set from their favrioute spot of all, a place just through the woods and on the hills, where you could see for miles. Before they left, Amy gave him a kiss, "I will be right back, I'm just going to get a jacket, it's a little chilly," She said, getting up and going inside. She came back out and the pair of them walked hand in hand up the hill.

Once they got there, they sat down against a tree, cuddled up with one another, they sat watching the sunset in silence.

"Hey, I do have something for you," Ty whispered into her ear.

Amy turned to him and saw him get a long box out of his pocket, with a blue bow on top of it. He handed it to her and she opened it, "Oh my god Ty, this is beautiful!" She exclaimed, lifting out the chain with a locket.

"Look inside," He whispered, she opened the locket and smiled, "See, a picture of me and you, on our wedding day, and on this side, a picture of TJ. Something to keep us all close to your heart."

"Ty, this is amazing. I love you, so much!" She exclaimed, giving him a kiss, "Will you put it on for me?" she asked. Ty put the chain around her neck and fastened the clasp. She turned around and gave him another kiss, "This has been the best anniversary ever. I love you." She said.

"I love you too," He replied. The pair of them sat, watching the sunset for a while longer, when Amy began to get restless.

"You know; I have a present for you too." She said, standing up and started to unzip her jacket.

"Oh yeah, what is that then?" He asked, observing her, "A strip tease in the wilds? That is risky, even for us, but I'm up for it, if you are."

Amy laughed and let her jacket fall to the ground. Ty looked at her with a confused expression, "Hey, you weren't wearing that… Oh my god. Does that mean what I think it means?" He asked, standing up.

"Yep." She replied, grinning like an idiot, she could see Ty reading her shirt again, which was a black t-shirt with 'Baby on Board' written over her stomach.

"We are gonna have another baby!?" Ty exclaimed, taking a hold of her and kissing her, a kiss which showed all of his emotions, "Now this is the best anniversary present a man could ever ask for. How far along are you?"

"About six weeks, that sickness bug I had last week made me take a test, because it wasn't normal. But yep. You're gonna be a daddy again." She cried, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her forehead against his.

"I can't believe it! Oh my god." He cried.

Amy wiped away his tears, "I take it you're happy then?"

"The happiest man in the world." He replied kissing her, "Come on you. We have some celebrating to do!" he said as he picked her up in his arms and carried her back to the cabin.

Later that night, Ty was lying next to Amy, with his hand resting on her stomach, "Thank you." He whispered.

Amy turned and looked at him, "Thank you for what?" she asked.

"For making me the happiest man in the world." He replied, kissing her cheek.

"It's ok, I wanted to tell you last week when I found out, but I thought that it would be perfect to do it tonight," She said, rolling so she could see him properly.

"Well, it was perfect, wasn't it? When do you want to tell the fam?" Ty asked.

"Tomorrow? At dinner? It's gonna be the last time we are all gonna be together for a while, grandpa and Lisa are going to France for a month, Georgie and Ste are going to be busy with uni, and dad, well, god knows what he's doing, but he will probably be busy." She replied.

"Ah ok, I wonder whether TJ will understand that he's gonna be a big brother. You know, I bet he's gonna be the best big brother in the world. TJ Borden. The protector." He laughed.

"Yep, he will be. Oh my god, is that the time?" She asked, looking at the clock.

Ty looked at the clock and saw it was 2am, "Wow… when was the last time we were up till this time after having some us time, and not looking after TJ?" He laughed.

"God knows. I am just thanking the lord that we can lie in tomorrow and take our time getting ready. Ooo I have a great idea of how we can tell the fam, I will wear my new shirt, but wear your hoody, then take it off when I sit down and when we stand up to tell them, hopefully they'll all read it and be happy. What do you say?" She asked.

"Wow, I say great minds think alike, because I was going to suggest that!" He laughed, kissing her forehead.

"Please can you turn the light out?" Amy yawned.

"Of course, anything for you." Ty replied, placing a kiss on her nose. He reached over and turned the lamp off. The pair of them snuggled back down together and both fell asleep almost instantly.

The pair of them spent the morning sleeping in and just lying in bed together. Something they usually didn't get to do together, seeing as TJ would usually wake them up, or demand to come and sit with them.

"You know, we should ring my mom and Wade at some point today or tomorrow." Ty said.

"Yeah, shall we do it tomorrow, we can face time them with TJ, you know how much they love their chats with TJ!" She laughed.

"Yeah, I know." He sighed.

"What time do you want to leave? I told Lou we would be back for around 4. I think we are having an early dinner," She asked.

Ty looked at the clock, "We should really leave within the next half an hour… but I am far to comfy to move." He groaned, pulling her even closer to him.

"I know… but we need to get back… I bet TJ is missing us," She reasoned.

"I bet TJ is enjoying terrorising Ste and Georgie… alright, we can lie here for the next 10 minutes, quickly get dressed and then set off? Does that sound ok for you?" he asked.

"Yeah, okay then." She replied, putting her head back on his chest and resting her arm over his stomach.

They arrived back at the ranch just after 4, once they got inside, and saw Peter, Lou, Jack and Lisa in the kitchen cooking, "Hey you two, did you have a good night?" Lou asked.

"Yeah, it was really good. Where is TJ?" Amy replied.

"He's out with the others in the living room, I think they are watching Zootropolis," Peter explained.

Amy and Ty nodded and walked through to the living room, where Georgie, Ste, Katie and TJ were all sat on the 'L' shaped couch, watching the film. As soon as TJ caught sight of Ty and Amy, he jumped off of Ste's knee and ran over to them, "MOMMY! DADDY!" He exclaimed, jumping into Amy's arms.

"Hey little fella, have you been good for these two?" Ty asked, tickling TJ's belly.

TJ giggled, "Yep! We watched lots of films and we have played outside today! I miss you and mommy though." He replied, opening his arms for Ty to take him.

Lisa came through and announced that dinner was ready, just as Tim walked through the door and greeted everyone. Everyone sat round the table and ate their dinner, talking about their weeks ahead, "Are you two looking forward to France?" Amy asked.

"Yeah we are, we haven't been back for a while, so we think it will be nice." Lisa replied.

"Wow, I would have never seen the day where Jack Bartlett enjoys travelling, and doesn't live at Heartland." Tim laughed.

"Shut up Tim!" Jack grumbled.

There was silence at the table for a while until Amy squeezed Ty's hand under the table, signalling that now was the time, "Actually, we have some news," Ty said as the pair of them proceeded to stand up.

Katie sat and read Amy's top, "Baby… on… Board." She said, as everyone heard this, their heads shot up and read the shirt.

"Yeah Katie, you're right!" Ty exclaimed. The whole table erupted in congratulations and everyone got up and gave the couple hugs.

"Wow, this is amazing! How far gone are you?" Lou asked.

"Around six weeks." Amy explained.

"Wow, this is great news guys." Peter said.

"Can't believe I am gonna be a grandpa, again… and this one will be great grandpa for the fourth time!" Tim exclaimed, Jack shot him a look, but didn't say anything.

"Mommy, what's going on?" TJ asked, looking up at his parents.

"Well TJ, you're gonna be a big brother. Mommy and Daddy are having another baby!" Ty explained.

"Cool!" TJ exclaimed, jumping up and down.

The family all moved over to the living room area and sat down talking for a while.

After about half an hour, Jack and Lisa got up and said, "Right, we best be going. We have a few more things to sort out for France," Jack said.

"Yeah, see you all in four weeks," Lisa said.

"Yeah, I better be going too. See you all soon, obviously it wont be four weeks," Tim laughed. Everyone said their goodbyes to the three of them and sat back down on the couch.

"Right TJ, I think it is time for you to go to bed." Amy said, getting up to take him.

"Can Ste and Georgie take me?" TJ asked.

"If they are ok with that, then that's fine by us," Amy replied, looking over to Georgie and Ste, who were already standing up, Amy looked up at the pair and mouthed thank you.

Ste picked up TJ and said, "Are you gonna say good night to everyone?"

TJ nodded and said goodnight to everyone while Georgie and Ste took him off to bed.

"So how is the fishing cabin looking?" Peter asked.

"Ah it was wonderful, we went and watched the sunset from the old hillside, it was beautiful," Ty replied.

"Yeah, it really was," Amy replied.

"What did you get for a present Amy?" Lou asked, looking at Amy.

Amy took the necklace from underneath her t-shirt, "He got me this locket, it has a picture of us on our wedding day, and a picture of TJ." Amy explained.

"Aww, that is beautiful!" Lou exclaimed, "He's still got it!"

"Yeah, he most definitely has." Amy replied, putting the locket back under her t-shirt and taking Ty's hand in hers.

Georgie and Ste walked back through and sat down on the sofa, "He was out like a light." Georgie said.

"Wow, thank you both for watching him." Amy said.

"It was no problem, we had an ace time!" Ste laughed, "Watching Disney movies all day, what else could you want?"

"I remember doing that with Katie, all the time! I particularly recall, Frozen and High School Musical were her favrioute!" Ty laughed.

"Frozen was cool then, but not now." Katie said.

"I can't believe you are pregnant again, this really is amazing," Lou exclaimed.

Amy put her hand on her belly and looked down, "Yeah, I really can't wait! Ty and I are so excited, aren't we?" She asked.

Ty put his hand on top of Amy's and said, "Yep, we are really excited.

The rest of them carried on talking for a while, until Peter looked at his watch and said, "Right we best get going, we will see you during the week."

"Bye everyone," Ty said. The family all said their goodbyes and left.

"Wow, everyone has finally gone." Amy said, relaxing a bit more.

"Yep. Everyone has gone, you know what this means, don't you?" Ty asked, trailing kisses down her jaw.

"Mmm, that we have some time to ourselves?" She asked, mischievously.

"Yep," he replied, shuffling around, so he was now on top of her. His lips found hers, they were so lost in the moment, they didn't hear the back door go.

"Sorry guys! It's only…" Lou shouted as she walked into the living room, which caused them to both break apart and look up at her, "Sorry… I forgot my purse! Seriously though, you have barely been alone 5 minutes… Right, I will leave you to it, see you next week!" She laughed as she walked back out of the room and out the door.

Ty groaned, "You would have thought this whole getting caught business would have stopped once everyone moved out!" He groaned.

Amy laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Yeah, but that would just be too easy… Come on, Dr Borden, we have some more celebrating to do," She said, suggestively.

Ty laughed, "That's my girl," He said while sitting up. He took Amy into his arms and carried her into their bedroom, to allow the celebrations to continue.

I did have this planned since before Christmas, they were origionally supposed to go to the dude ranch, watch the sun set on the dock, and Amy then tell him she was pregnant… I guess it's my own fault for not finishing this sooner ;) But I think the fishing cabin was a nice change!

Ok, that was definitely the end! Thank you all for your comments and courage to carry on this story. I am not doing a sequal, but I do have 2 stories planned, one is a sequal to a one shot I wrote – won't tell you which one, it will spoil the surprise :P

Thank you all, again! You are all awesome people, and I can't believe people actually stuck with this story!
