Amy & Ty as Life Goes On

Chapter 6

Amy's P.O.V.

I walk into my room to get everyone's gifts, in the end we're going to give them to everyone before dinner so Katie can have hers too. I plop down next to Ty on the couch, waiting for everyone to settle down.

"So, I though maybe Katie and Georgie can get their gifts first since they're the youngest and then we'll working our way around the room?" I ask. Everyone nods.

"Katie can go first," Georgie says to me with a smile on her face. I smile back at her.

"Katie do you want to get your present?" Ty asks Katie, who nods and reaches her arms to him. Ty picks Katie up and sits her on his lap. I hand Katie a light pink paper bag. She looks at me and then at Ty.

"Can I open it?" she asks, still looking from Ty to me...

"Of course you can," I say to her encouragingly. She opens the bag and pulls out her gifts. Katie's eyes go wide as she looks at her chestnut stuffed 'horsie' with a black mane and tail and a soft doll with dark blonde 'hair' in two little braids, that wears a pink dress and a pair of pink shoes.

"Do you like it?" I ask her. Katie nods a reply.

"Thank you Auntie Amy. Thank you Uncle Ty," she says pulling both the horsie and the doll to her chest, cuddling with them.

"You're welcome Katie," both Ty and I say, I lean over to kiss her cheeks as Ty kisses her hair.

"Mommy, daddy look what I got fwom Auntie Amy and Uncle Ty got me! They sooooooooo pwetty! I'm going to call the horsie Chestnut and he can be friends with Pogie! And I'm gonna' call the doll Dolie! And she can be friends with Pogie and Chestnut!" Katie exclaims, scrambling off Ty's lap and running towards Lou and Peter. Ty and I look at each other and smile. I sit in a more comfortable position and lean against Ty.

"Georgie, you ready?" Ty asks.

"You bet! But I'm not sitting on your lap!" Georgie replies, her comment about not sitting in Ty's lap brings Lou and I to tears from laughter.

"I wasn't planning on it," Ty says after he somewhat managed to stop laughing. He hands Georgie a turquoise gift bag. She starts taking out the contents one by one. Starting with a vintage inspired navy t-shirt with 'Arizona' printed on it, in vintage inspired letters. Second comes the studded black leather riding belt. And third some simple bracelets, nothing too fancy, faux leather, some with beads and other charms and others without any. Georgie gets up and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Thank you,so so much, Amy, everything is amazing, I love everything, and the bracelets are perfect. Thank you!" she whispers.

"You're welcome, Georgie," I whisper back, hugging her close. She pulls away and gives Ty a tight hug too. Georgie whispers something to Ty, he whispers something back, and even though I'm sitting right next to Ty, I can't hear a word.

"I'll be right back," she announce's as she walk to her and Katie's room. She emerges after a few minutes wearing a pair of nice jeans, the riding belt, the Arizona t-shirt and the bracelets.

"Aww Georgie, you look great!" I say.

"I do, don't I?" she replies, laughing as she spins around in a circle.

"Geowgie you look weally pretty," Katie exclaims, looking at her big sister.

"Thanks Katie," Georgie, says, picking Katie up. She sits down on the floor, in front of the couch, with Katie still in her arms and start playing with her.
