The Borden Family Legacy - A Heartland Dream

Chapter Five - What!

A/N - Whew, the last chapter was a long one. Well, the trip was successful possibly more that Amy and Ty realized. The kids survived the weekend and are excited their mom and dad are coming home. What surprises are in store for all of them. Mild Mature content.

What #1

The kids were at Miracle Ranch sitting on the porch anxiously waiting for their parents. Georgie looked at them and shook her head, "Will you guys' chill, they will be here in less than 15 minutes and the pizza will be here in 30." Maddie was the first to see the SUV entering the property and screamed, "THEIR BACK!" She led the charge when they stopped in front of the house followed by the twins and a much more mobile Lyndy. Ty and Amy were almost knocked down by the onslaught of hugs and kisses. Maddie jumped into her dad's arms and the twins latched onto their mom. After the twins let go Amy went over the Lyndy and hugged her. "How is my baby girl doing? Feeling better?" she whispered in her ear. Lyndy smiled at her giving her the answered she hoped. The girls headed into the house as Ty unloaded the bags. Georgie and Steven said their goodbyes but not after the girl's begged them to stay for pizza. After dinner the family settled into their rooms. After Amy and Ty made their rounds, they went to their room to get ready for bed. Ty walked up to Amy as she brushed her hair. She yawned and leaned back on him. "I am so happy to be home and I am exhausted, so can Mr. Studly take the night off." Ty didn't respond and when she looked up it looked like he was falling asleep standing up. She laughed, stood up and walked with him to bed. The cuddled and were asleep within minutes.

The next morning was business as usual. Breakfast, chores, and school prep were done on time and Ty and Amy saw the girls off to the bus. They went back the barn and got caught on what they missed. Ty had to head to the clinic for a few hours and while he was leaving Georgie showed up. Thet got to work with the horses and sat down to coordinate the schedule for the next few weeks. They were going to be really busy. Ty got home early afternoon and the girls went over his part of the schedule. Amy noticed that Georgie had been kind of quiet. When Ty got back, he noticed it to whispering into Amy's ear when they were alone. So, Amy had to ask, "Georgie, is everything all right. Are you and Steven, OK?" Georgie hesitated and reluctantly responded, "We are great by the way, couldn't be better. We are getting excited about getting married and the rest of our life. We have a role model couple to emulate." winking at them. "The thing I need to talk to you about is an offer I have received. The Canadian Olympic Equestrian Team wants me to coach some up-and-coming young equestrians. Me, can you believe it. Well, it will mean I won't be available to help as much for the next year. The games are next year in July, and they need me until then and even want me to go to the games in Paris, France!"

Amy and Ty were overwhelmed, "Georgie that is unbelievable, we are so proud of you. This is an opportunity you can't pass up. I was already planning to get Katie and Lyndy more involved so over the summer they can step it up." Ty added, "And Steven is getting more involved in the vet side, in fact and don't tell him yet, but I am going to offer him a vet assistant job working for the Equine Center. I am getting more involved in surgical procedures with Scott, and I need his help. The seems like a win-win for everyone, agreed." They all smiled and did a group hug. Georgie was relieved as she had been dreading this conversation.

What #2

They headed to the house after Georgie left and sat on the porch to wait for the kids. Lyndy had refused to be picked up at the bus, man is she like her mother. The kids came sauntering down the driveway, and Ty was the first to notice, there was one extra kid. Amy, "Who is that, walking next to Lyndy, carrying her bookbag?" "Oh, my lord, I think that must be Wyatt. Lyndy told me he had volunteered to carry her books for her in classes and I guess he must have to carry them to the house to? Oh my, here first crush." She giggled. "You never carried my books Ty," she laughed. "Wait a minute, she is only 11, are we OK with that?" Ty said with concern. "Ty, Lyndy is very mature for her age. We have already talked about it. Don't panic and be nice." She pleaded. They quieted down as the kids approached.
