she gave a slight smile, still worried for him. "well, in that case," her smile gor bigger. "can you help me with the door?" she kept her hand on the handle and one hand on Titan's lead

Tyler nodded, half glad she didn't ask more about his battered beaten up and broken body. (Try saying that ten times fast LOL). He opened the door with his good arm, watching Titan and planning where he would go next. To see Wild West of course. He couldn't wait to see his beloved stallion again...

Titan tossed his head and gently nuzzled Abby then moved to Tyler. He sniffed Tyler, searching for a treat. Abby led him to the crossties and attempted to reach up and tie him to one of the side ties. "Curse my short stature and short arms" Abigail muttered under her breath. Titan yanked on the lead, hoping to get back to Tyler. He pulled the rope from her hands and pranced over to Tyler. Abby sighed and turned her wheelchair towards him.

Tyler chuckled slightly. After Titan got free he quickly stepped forward, grabbing him with his free hand. "Well... after all that trouble I suppose I might have something pop up.." he muttered, standing on The horses lead rope for a second so he could reach in his pocket and pull out a treat. "Tada" he smirked, giving it to the horse.

"don't reward the stubborn pony!" she giggled as Titan tossed his head, obviously enjoyinh the taste of the treat. "want to check on the babies with me? ...and can you tie him up for me? i can help if one hand doesn't work. i can barely reach though..."

Tyler laughed, leading Titan over to the cross ties. He put him in the crossties, "There. Now we can go check on the babies." He smiled, coughing once with pain flashing across his face briefly. He out a hand on his chest, waiting a moment before walking over to the barn entrance to walk over to the Pasture the two babies were in.

Abby watched Tyler walk away and shook her head, sighing deeply. she maneuvered her wheelchair through the grass and stopped at the fence. Grace Cloud immediately saw her, lifted her tail, and galloped to the fence, sliding to a stop and tossing her head. she pushed her head over the top board and nickered. she pulled away then stuck her head between the middle borads and nibbled Abby's shirt. she thought of how Grace was able to use her legs as she pranced away, her head and tail high as she trotted towards the hay bale in the middle of the field, whinning and tossing her short mane. Abby gulped as she blinked back tears and she turned her wheelchair and rolled towards the barn. part of her didn't want to be followed, just to sit in the barn and cry. the other part, however, wanted Tyler to come and calm her. she still longed for someone to love her after her father suddenly left. she was still torn between giving up and searching at college or staying and working it out with Tyler. SHE had gotten him in HER mess in the first place. college boys always seemed to be swarming around her but now she was about to graduate and she wouldn't even be able to walk up and receive her diploma. the tears were slipping past her blinking eyelids and sliding down her cheeks. she couldn't help it anymore...

Tyler watched Wonder's Gaze Trot around before the colt ran to the fence, sniffing Tyler tentatively. He smiled slightly, petting the baby's head before glancing at Abby. She looked very sad.. and then she started to wheel off. (Oh wait ouch that must've sounded bad lol) "Abby-" Tyler started, limping after her as fast as his protesting legs decided to go. "Hey Wait, what's wrong...?" He asked, worry filling his pained gaze. He put a gentle hand in her shoulder and, with a lot of unnecessary pain and trying to not grunt, crouched down so he was at eye level with her. "Are you okay?" He asked quietly, shifting so most of the weight was on his right leg, which wasn't as hurt.

she dropped her gaze. "i'm never going to ride again..." she squeeked. she couldn't bare the words as she spoke them out loud. she met his eyes. "the doctor told me at my last check-up that it was for sure that i would never be able to sit in a saddle again. my legs still have not gained complete feeling so even walking may be difficult..." she dropped her eyes yet again. "i just didn't want to tell you... i was scared..."

Tyler's eyes filled with sorrow. "Yes.. you will. The doctor I said not always right. They give you one of the worst circumstances so you don't feel bad when it doesn't work... and they are completely wrong to do that. I promise I will help you to ride again, starting with walking. Right now." Tyler offered a small smile, pushing off his good leg with a grunt of pain and standing back up, swaying slightly as he overcame the dizziness. "Well.. even if you can't feel your legs you can still use them.. it will just take some time. Come on, I'll help you." Tyler murmured, obviously determined. He all but dragged her out of her wheelchair, making sure not to hurt her, and stabilized her once she was up.
