Chapter 26

It had been 6 months since that dreadful day when Ty didn't know if he was going to lose his wife or daughter or both, even now Ty still has nightmares as he see's the life slowly disappearing from her eye's.
Ty was at Quebec Airport waiting for Jack and Lisa who wanted to see the children.
Ty was facing the wrong way when two hands grabbed his shoulders.
"Well you were easy to spot, where exactly were you son".
"Oh hi Jack, hi Lisa, sorry I was back at Heartland again".
"You still having flash backs Ty".
"Yeah Lisa and the nightmares are getting less at least".
They got in Ty's truck and drove to the Ranch.
"You weren't Joking when you said you live in the Wilds were you".
"Ha ha No , no Joking on that front.

They pulled up at the Ranch and got out, Lisa looked around  and saw nothing but horses.
"So all these horses belong to other people ,  boarders ".
"Yes Lisa, it's a good income, come on let's get inside".
As they walked in they could hear laughing and giggling from the children.
"Grampa, Grandma, ". Amy went running to them both grabbing them in a double hug.
"How are you doing sweetheart".
"Okay, yeah I'm okay, were getting there, we both still go to counselling , and it does help".
"Good, well I'm going to tell you both now and get it over with  but Tim has been moved to a Secure Unit".
"You mean a Mental unit".
"Yeah, he's quite mad apparently, they found lesions on his brain where his brain had been smacked against his skull, they said it's as if his conscience had been switched off, there was no remorse or acknowledgement of what he'd done was bad and deemed him a danger to everyone. They scratched the deal you made and gave him the 14 years plus another 35 years for attempted murder. He's better where he is and safer for you and the public in general, and that's all I'm going to say on it. Now let's have a look at our beautiful Great Granddaughter ".

Amy went and picked up a beautiful little girl with Jet black hair and emerald green eye's with a complexion to match.
"Oh my god Jack she is amazing,  so like Ty".
"She's a knock out Amy, Ty, and this little cut is all she got on her thigh".
"Yes, they said we were a miracle,  I'm so glad Mike was there".
"I know, he didn't phone emergency services,  he phoned the actual Air Pad where the new Air Ambulance Unit was based Just 3 miles from us, Ellen said he'd been setting up the computer systems for them for 3 months and that's why she hardly saw him, it only took 2 minutes to get to Heartland ".
Aelin Lillian Bartlett Borden say another hello to your Great Grandparents".
"Well to be honest it's like the first  really, she was in Nicu for a month and couldn't see us, we were so worried for you though, you lost so much blood, I still can't wrap my head around why he'd do what he did, that's why he was assessed to his sanity".
Lisa then held Amy and Aelin for some time so pleased that they both survived.
"So Amy Aelin,  it's unusual ".
"Well I got into a set of books when I was on maternity leave called
"Throne of Glass" and fell in love with that name, the only likeness is her eye's and Complexion because in the book she has like a white coloured hair but when I imagined her with black hair I knew that was her name, Ty loves it".
"Here let me hold Aelin".
"Okay, I'll get the coffee on".
"How is she at night Amy".
"Brilliant, she sleeps 6 to 8 hours".
"Oh wow, aren't you a good girl".
Amy was making drinks and could here Lisa chatting away to Aelin, she could see Ty and Jack talking as they walked around the Ranch.
Lisa suddenly  appeared in the kitchen with Aelin and was watching Ty and Jack.
"How's Ty really coping Amy, I know it hit him hard especially with all the blood, he honestly thought he was going to lose you both, In the two years you were back I've never seen him look so scared and hopeless".
"It's hit him really hard especially after my Cardiac Arrest as well, then Tim stabbing me, but the counselling is helping and the nightmares are down to two or three a week which compared to once or twice a night is much better but he's still withdrawn sometimes".
"What about you Amy, how are you coping".
"Okay, to be honest, I mean I was unconscious and had no idea what was going on".
"What about your nightmares sweetheart ".
"Oh once or twice a week and they don't last that long,  it's,,,,,feeling the knife go in and the only thing I thought about wasn't me but what that knife had done to my child and would she survive or was it already to late". Amy started crying but Lisa knew it was good for her to get it out and let it go.
"The thing is Amy , look who I'm holding, this beautiful little girl and your stood in front of me being a fantastic Mother and wife".
"I know Lisa, but the thought that he could of took that away from Ty is heartbreaking".
"I know sweetheart,  but you need to think positive and to the future like you did before, so any Ideas about Ty.
You mentioned that he hasn't been able to work".
"No he hasn't,  it's the blood I think, as soon as he see's it he's straight back on the porch".
"So he needs a distraction really, something to occupy his mind".
By now they were sat down at the kitchen table with there drinks and Aelin was fast asleep in Lisa's arms, so Amy took a photo without Lisa knowing.
"I've had an Idea about giving him something to do".
