The Unexpected

Chapter 4

" Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But I wonder why Lily didn't answer her phone." -Lou

" Who knows. She was probably busy." -Amy

" Yeah probably." -Lou

Amy looks at the table and sighs.

" You know Amy I could do this if you want to go lay down. I mean it's been a couple of hours since Ty has " -Lou started to say

" Since Ty has what? Lou I am quite capable of making a couple of phone calls." -Amy said trying to hold back tears

" Amy I am just trying to help." -Lou

" I don't need your help. I really don't." -Amy

Lou just looked at her and walked away.
Amy grabbed her phone and walked to the front porch.
She calls Caleb

" Hey what's up Amy?" -Caleb
" Caleb, " -Amy began to say
" What? Is everything alright?" -Caleb
" No, Ty's gone." -Amy
" What do you mean he's gone? Where has he gone?" -Caleb
" He passed away." -Amy
" I'll be right over" -Caleb

Then Caleb hung up the phone.
Jack then came out onto the front porch.

" You know how you treated your sister was unfair to her. You know she is only trying to help." -Jack

" It's unfair?! You know what is unfair? Loosing my husband after I watched him pick his life back up. That's what's unfair." -Amy

Jack just looked at Amy and went inside. Then Caleb pulled into the driveway and got out of his truck and walked up to Amy.

" I can't believe he's gone." -Amy said while hugging Caleb and she started to cry

Weeks went by and Amy hadn't really done anything. She has just been in bed all day long. Lyndy was always hanging out with Katie and Jack. Lou ended up handling everything about Ty's funeral.

They did a memorial for Ty and had spread his ashes across the field where they horses ran.

Lou wanted to check on Amy so she went to her room.

Knock knock.

" What?" -Amy called out

Lou walked in.

" I just wanted to check on you. I brought you a grilled cheese." -Lou

" I'm not hungry." -Amy

"Amy, do you want to go with me to the store?" -Lou

" Sure, I need to get out of the house." -Amy

Amy got out of bed and you could tell she hasn't eaten anything for about a week.

Lou leaves the room as Amy gets dressed.

Amy wears a black tank top with a purple flannel over it, her skinny jeans and of course her boots.
But when she put her jeans on they were a little extra tight then usual. She then quickly had grabbed her phone and looked at her calendar to see when she last had her menstrual cycle was.
It had been 2 months.
Amy started to freak out a little bit.
Then she heard a knock on her door.

" Hey Amy are you done getting ready?  We need to leave." -Lou said through the door

"Yeah, I am just uh brushing my hair." -Amy

" Ok, just please hurry." -Lou

Amy finished real quickly and walked out a couple of seconds later.

Lou and Amy leave.

In the car**

" Hey Lou, I need to pick a couple of things up at the store." -Amy

" Ok, that's completely fine. I will just meet you at the front of the store then." -Lou

They drove in silence the rest of the way to the store. Well it wasn't complete silence. The radio was going in the car.

30 minutes later**

They arrived at the store.

" Alright Amy, if you need anything just text me or call me." -Lou

" Ok" -Amy

Amy and Lou walked in and went separate ways.

Amy walked over to the pregnancy tests. She picked up two of them. Then walked over to the books. She picked out a few of them for Lyndy. She then checked out and paid for all of her stuff then waited at the front of the store for Lou.

10 minutes later they were back in the car on their way home.

" Hey Amy, what did you get at the store?" -Lou

" I got some books for Lyndy." -Amy

" Nice." -Lou

They didn't talk the rest of the way home.
They got back to the ranch and Amy went inside. She gave the books to Lyndy then went to the bathroom.
Amy took both of the pregnancy tests and waited impatiently for them to show her the results. She set a 5 minuet timer.

5 minutes later**

Amy heard the timer go off on her phone. She picked up the pregnancy test and it read...
