learning to love again

chapter 8 my house

Ive been staying in a hotal for a week since the Hospital blakes been staying here with me. I told him about my house thats being belt.

One more day and we move in. All our stuff is placed in there spots at the manner and my horses are being placed in there stalls.

I loved it everything looked like heartland besides the manner is the only thing thats different.

Austin remembered everything that I said would be a great place for kids. Looking through the stalls seeing each horses name on the door I couldnt help but smile.

He thought of everything. I just wished he was here to enjoy it with me. life has a way of screwing you. At least its giving me a second chance at love.

I ran out to the field and called for koda. Seeing him prance up knowing he's my favorite. He listens just like a dog would.

I lead him to his stall that filled with hay and sweet feed in his trough and water beside it. Just like ever other stall but he had his favorite treats sugar cubs the others had theres.

Stamping the ground and shaking his head up and down when he see what I put in there I couldnt help but smile at his reaction.

Where does these two go baby. I see him holding my black and white paint female beauty and kodas brother White with black and brown dots all over him.

Beauty goes all the way down on the left and Austin goes here beside his brother in the thired stall. I see hurt in his eyes when I said Austin knowing who I named him after.

He quickly changed it not wanting to seem hurt that I named it after him and haven't got one with his.

Dont worry Lucy will have her foal any day now. His name will be blake. I see his half c****d smile.

And how do you know its going to be a boy. you some kinda horse whisper and they have some way to find out he laughs.

I start laugh because my baby doesnt have fillys isnt that right bud. he stand even taller then usual.

He neighs making us both fall out laughing. We need to get the rest in baby I say as i catch a breath through my laughs.

We have ten horses left I have two female and one male that per black. The males name is tank.the females are Twin sisters the mother died giving birth to them piper and paige they go beside each other next to beauty.

Pipers the one with the purple halter she goes in the stall beside her and in the next is paiges I say smiling.

whos the two you have he nods his head my way. their beautiful. the black one is so big I didnt know horses got that big he smiles.

This is black coke hes red with black socks and main. This beauty is tank. what do you expect a Clydesdale to be. Putting them at the far end on the right beside one another.

We go back out he goes to grab ghost and before I could say anything he starts rareing in the air.

I jump in front of him whoa boy its okay , it okay. calm down for me ghost.. everything is alright baby I promise. He lands one last blow to the ground.

His musles showing his white fur sticking out. Breathing heavily he walks closer to me noding his head up and done. I know boy its fine he wasnt going to hurt you.

Easy there I whisper out while I start rubbing his forehead. Good boy okay come on mommies got you.

I bring him out and his little foal following behind us she Lola black as ever beside the star on her face and little streaks of white in her hair.

I put them in their joined stalls and she begans to eat and he licks my hand like he always does after a stranger comes to close. I guess it calms him down or he just likes the salty tatse.

I see blake walking in with my two gorgeous mares both white with black socks only difference is one has black main and the other a black star. Liv has the black main and star dust has the black star.

They go besde the twins. We have to hurry and get Lucy in shes blue thats the best way to describe it and her friend kit are the same color but kit has white sock and Lucy has black.

We're does Lucy go baby she looks like she's might pop he jokes out. Making me laugh.

She goes infront of koda I probably shoulda built theirs together but I didnt want him accidentally hurting the foal. Kit goes beside Austin.

Walking outside he says whats wrong with ghost. I've never met a horse that acted like that he confessed.

I sigh hes a wild stallion he was the leader of his clan a couple of men went and was whiping them out. Him and his daughter are the only ones to Escape.

I found him he was badly hurt I seen the foal before I seen him she ran up to me wasnt scared or anything. She was going to pertect her dad her leader.

I gave her the feed I had in the bag I was carring she went to eat it I ran to his side. He kept trying to bit and kick me. I took care of him.

He finally came around and I became leader over him and he makes sure the other horse dont try to hurt me when we get in rescues.

How do you know about his clan. have you seen them before or seen the Poachers he says wanting to know more.

I've been feeding them for a while thats another reason he let me take care of him evan tho he was still stubborn. hes seen me feeding them. So he let his gard down alittle.

then finally over the years hes became my friend and has helped me alot with the wild rescues we've gotten. though we have to keep him and koda separate.

They'll fight over whos the leader of this heard. usually tank can separate them but not all ways. so we just kept them apart.

howd you know they were around here baby and is this were Austin made his move. I look his way seeing him look down runing his hands throw his hair.

When Austin proposed he brung me here the fence was already up and the barn was being built bigger the way I said would be wonderful.

Evan tho at the time I didnt know why he was building it the way I said I wanted mine to be. I thought it was what

He told me that this was his grandfathers he stayed here instead of following his family to the city getting choked up I swallow the lump thats forming in my throat.

There's 17,000 acrs here he took me about 3, 000 acrs that way I pointed past the barn. They were there feeding. Ghost spoted us and he started bucking.

When I truned back around he was on his knees with a red box and he whistled and Tank came runing with a sign saying momma please say yes.

I didn't realize I was crying till Blake whiped the tears away. Then what happened baby. he really wanted the whole story.

He lifts my head up to see his handsome smile even tho I could see the hurt in his eyes at knowing this. it made me happy that he's okay with my past even if it hurts him to know I loved another.

Then he turned and reached for the bag behind the tree gave me some pappers. That had my name on it he gave me tank and all this land.

Then he said that he didnt want this to make me say yes that if I say no that all this will still would be mine. He wanted me to live my dream of helping animals.

I was going to be the vet doc and hes was going to work with people but that day happened and ive only came up here to feed the wild horses and put cameras up.

He nodded at everything I said. I looked up at him I seen them come in on fourwheelers herding them up the foal ran of into the woods with ghost but the mare was caught they shot at them but only hit ghost several times he ended up runing into one of our fences I choked out.

They took the others somewhere once they loaded them up. I came here as fast as I could and found him and his little foal I grined at the thought of when he finally came around to trusting me.

I looked for the mare everywhere. when the cops finally caught the people they wouldn't tell me where the took them. I looked in all the kill pins all sales everywhere and nothing.

We'll stay here tonight all they have to do is pant the living rooms. Smiling up at him I lead him to the house. Holding his hand like a little school girl.
