Tex awoke quickly, and stood, watching Ashley intensely as she moved. His muscles were coiled, ready to spring if she suddenly lost her strength. Every thing about him was fully awake as his pale green eyes followed his wife and child. Once she sat down, his eyes darted across the room to the door. His eyes stared hard at the girl that had appeared. Everything about his movements were frankly animal from his hard unflinching, caged looking eyes to his slight awarness of every breath his wife and child took. He stood at the end of the bed, unconciously blocking mother and child from the new pair of roaming eyes, he bristled slightly, then shook his head and stepped towards Ashley's side, leaning down to kiss her and the baby gently, his eyes never left Katie as he possessively wrapped an arm around Ashley and placed another protective, sheltered kiss on Bella's small forehead.

ashley smiled up toward tex, knowing that he was uncomfortable with the visitor. she took his hand, squeezing it reassuringly. bella smiled up toward tex, giggling softly. hush bells. ashley smiled softly. bella wrapped both hands around her finger, smiling toward katie. she's only a few hours old. ashley smiled.

She smiled at the baby. Maybe some day, she'd have kids. "Yes, I did come to see Bella. She's adorable!" She whispered softly trying not to scare the baby. She noticed that Ashley looked tired, "Oh my gosh, did I wake you up? I'm so sorry." She apologized to Ashley. She smiled at the baby and sat down on a seat next to Ashley's bedside. She had just rememberd that she brought gifts. "I brought a present for you and for Bella. Sorry Tex, I didn't get ya anything!" She giggled and handed over the chocolates to Ashley and the rattle to Bella.

Tex eyed her reproachfully, then smiled when she produced the rattle. That reminds me, I'll be back in a bit. He said as he stood up and walked out the room. He went down to the gift shop and filled a bag with newborn clothes and toys, then he gathered up some candy for Ashley and went to check out.

she smiled toward katie. yeah. if you're ever in the mood for babysitting, just give me a call and i'm sure i could schedule you something. she laughed softly. i still have to keep up my life at the shows and the farm. she smiled. tex and i are thinking about getting our own stable soon. she sighed, daydreams clouding the surface of her eyes as she stared out the windows. she seemed to snap out of it when bella reached up and grabbed her lip. ashley giggled, gently moving her baby's hand away. so how have things been going with dylan? she smiled.

Tex quickly paid for his purchases and then headed back towards the room. He stopped outside the door to talk to Colt, who was asleep on a bench.

Katie smiled at Bella and then at Ashley. "That's really nice. Ashley, it's great that you have such a good man to be with." She giggled when Bella got ahold of Ashley's lip. It was cute and funny. She hoped that Bella would love the rattle. When she heard the words of "How have things been going with Dylan" it was like her heart dropped to the bottom of her stomach. She had to tell her. She couldn't lie,but she had a baby and she's going to freak. "Umm..well.." She made a nervous laugh and continued, "Umm.. Dylan is in the hospital. His horse bolted leaved him unconcious and they think he broke his collarbone. He should be sleeping now. Don't freak out though, he's doing fine. Amy went to see him yesterday when it happened. But, don't hate me, Ashley. I love Dylan, it wasn't my fault, well it was my fault because instead of going out somewhere at a restaurant instead of a trail ride, Dylan wouldn't have got hurt." One tear dropped down from her left eye, but she tried as hard as she could to stop the others.

ashley's eyes softened, rocking her baby gently as she listened. calm down, katie. nobody hates you. and you should know that dylan loves you back. he's not about to leave this world without you. she smiled sympathetically, using her free arm to hug her friend. and it's not your fault. dylan just messed up. and he'll learn from his mistakes. she said softly. when tex gets back, we'll go visit him. she said softly. even if he is in a coma, it will help for him to hear us. she said confidently, determined not to cry. her sadness didn't show through and she was glad. she didn't want her baby girl to have to see her own mother crying at such an early age.

Katie hugged her back and smiled at the baby. She didn't want to upset the baby. "Thanks Ashley, but you just had a baby, don't you want the rest?" She wasn't trying to stop her from going, she was being thoughtful. Ashley was starting to assure her that it was okay. The tears stopped falling and she felt better. It felt like 50 pound cinder blocks were lifted from her shoulders.

she smiled toward katie. no, it's okay. tex can carry me. she smirked softly. she was happy she was with tex, and that he was strong enough to bring her to see dylan if that's what she wanted. she wasn't sure if bella would be allowed to come, but she would ask one of the nurses the next time she came into the room.
ooc: waiting for arty to post.

She smiled and said, "Okay." She smiled and Bella and let her fingers wrap around her finger. She was so adorable.

Tex opened the door, moving silently into the room. A proud smile broke his hard features as he stared at his beautiful wife and daughter. He moved to the bedside and stroked the baby's head before he leaned down to kissed Ashley on the forehead. He sat down in the chair that he had pulled up to the bedside a few hours earlier.

Tex's thought for a second. Dylan? Your brother? He asked weakly, not really knowing anything about Dylan, except that he was Ashley's brother. He smied at Bella and grabbed her tiny fist, planting small kisses all over it until she giggled with glee. He held her with one arm as he handed Ashley his purchases. Alright, open your presents and then we'll go see him. He said as he rocked the baby girl bak and forth.

ashley nodded as he questioned her, smiling as tex and bella grinned. she loved to see them happy. she looked surprised as he handed her the bag. is that what you left for? she smiled, looking inside the containers. oh my gosh. she said, looking at the candy. calories. thank you sooo much. she smiled, hugging tex. she opened the next bag, taking out bella's new clothes and toys. awww! look bella! she said. you're going to look so cute in these. she said, laying the tiny outfits aside. and now your room won't be empty! she laughed. i love you. she smiled toward tex, leaning in to kiss him gently. she pulled away, looking a bit sadder than she normally was when she had finished kissing him. but we have to go see dylan now. she said. would you carry me there? she requested.
