"She clearly has jealousy issues, maybe you should send her to therapy" Jen laughed, rubbing Harleys neck, and luckily shes had Harley since he was a baby and hadnt owned any other horses, so he had no reason to be jealous.

Lily continued to stomp and paw and splash water everywhere, Harley doing the same a few moments later, stomping and shoving his whole head under the water before swishing it from side to side and getting water EVERYWHERE.

"I think it's cute but yeah, she might need some therapy." she chuckled, Lily attached to her since she and Steve first came to visit his parents after they'd gotten together. "When Bandit was younger, she loved when I'd play with him but she likes all the attention."

She continued to let Lily have her fun since that was why they came out to the river. The water felt good splashing against her skin and when she glanced over at Jen and Harley, she laughed. "He's dunking his entire head underwater."

"Of course she liked it when he was younger, he was a pain in the ass when he was younger, you distracted him from buggin' her" Jen laughed, watching Harley splash and play in the water. "Come'on, lets go over there and pull their saddles off under the tree and take 'em for a swim" Jen said, nudging Harley on through the water a bit and up to the sandy dirt bank and sliding off, tugging his saddle off and leaving his bridle on, using a fallen tree trunk to hop back on him and wait for Sam.

"Then the next one she has, I'm not gonna play with it." she teased, like there was any way she could stay away from Lily's baby. Lily loved going for a swim so Sam followed Jen over to the bank, hopping off of her and taking off her saddle. She used the same tree trunk to pull herself up on Lily and grabbed the reins, walking her back into the water. "I think this is Lily's favorite part.

"Oh yeah right you big liar, thats like you sayin' you aint ever gonna play with Chloe again" She laughed and once Sam was back on Lily they walked to the lake and waded in until the horses were up to their chests in water and she nudged Harley on until he started swimming and she wrapped her arms around his neck, looking over at Lily who was stomping and pawing the water, splashing everywhere until she walked forward and a few moments later was right beside Harley, strong legs pushing her through the water. "I think this is Harleys too"

She just giggled softly at Jen's words, she knew her too well to know Sam would ever stay away from any of their horses. She watched Harley walk deeper into the water and couldn't help but laugh at Lily, who wanted to keep playing. "Come on, girl. You can play some more after you take a swim." Once she was further into the water, she copied Jen and wrapped her arms around Lily, letting her swim along with Harley. "It's good for them to get out here and swim."

"Its good for their muscles and mind" Jen smiled, Harley finding a shallow spot and standing, the water right at his belly line and Jen laid back on him looking up at the couple of clouds that were scattered in the sky, "Its so pretty out" She smiled, staying quiet for a little while and then looking over at Sam, "Do you think when we're eighty we'll still be out here swimmin' with the horses?" She chuckled.

"And fun for us." she smiled, Lily finding her own spot to stand up and Sam still sprawled out over her. She looked up at the sky that looked so blue. It was so much prettier than the sky back in the city. "Mhm...it is and the sky is beautiful. You just don't get such a blue sky in Manhattan." Sam was quiet for a moment as she thought about her and Jen growing old together along with Steve and Rob. "I think if we're still able to climb on a horse, we'll be out here or we'll be sitting on the porch watching our grandchildren take off on the horses."

"Mmmhmmm" Jen smiled, looking up at the sky and happy she had her sunglasses because it was bright and she looked up at the blue sky, "You dont see skies like this much of anywhere but out in the middle'a nowhere" She chuckled and then laughed, "Can you imagine us in our walkers tryin' to climb on horses?" She laughed harder and then looked over at Sam, "I plan on ridin' 'til I cant ride anymore, which is hopefully the day I die 'cause I wanna ride forever" She said softly, smiling up at the sky and resting her hand on her flat tummy, "Rob got mad at me for ridin' when I was pregnant, it put Josh to sleep, he liked it." She smiled.

"I never thought I'd be a 'middle of nowhere' kinda girl, now look at me." What was more surprising to her is that she didn't even miss the city. She loved it in Texas, which was something she never thought she'd say. Sam laughed at the image of them with walkers and horses, shaking her head. "We'll have to have smaller horses." She sobered up quickly at Jen's next words and didn't know why but the last part of that sentence made her sad. "Hey, we're gonna be riding these horses together for a long, long time." She just chalked it up to not wanting to think of any of them ever dying. "Steve was the opposite. I was worried about riding and he talked me into it. Lily is so gently and we stayed close. Chloe loves the horses already."

Jen looked over at Sam, one hand playing with Harleys mane at the base of his neck and smiled, "Did you ever think you'd be in love with a country boy and livin' in the middle of nowhere with a little girl?" She asked, and even though she'd grown up in the country she had plenty of friends and co workers who'd relocated with their husbands from big cities and most had said they'd never even imagined they'd love it as much as they do. She nodded her head and looked at Sam, reaching a hand out for hers, "Yes we are, best friends and our trust steeds" She laughed, Harley splashing around in the water a bit and Lily doing the same before settling. "Its good for you, I mean, I imagine its like Yoga, Ive never been a yoga girl, but I can imagine, horses are relaxin' and they want you to relax while you're pregnant, it wasnt like we was out runnin' at top notch speeds or nothin'" She said, sitting up and rubbing Harleys neck, "We probably should start to head back" She said, walking Harley back to the tree and tossing his saddle on him.

Sam smiled and slowly shook her head. "Are you kidding? Before I met Steve, I swore I'd never live anywhere but Manhattan and maaaaybe Queens if I ever had kids, another thing I thought would never happen." she admitted, "Then I fell in love with Steve and he brought me out here for Thanksgiving the first time and I didn't wanna leave. I surprised myself." She smiled over at Jen and took her hand, squeezing it tight a moment, never thinking she'd have such a great friend and she knew it'd always be that way until the day they died. "Lily's always so gentle and even more when I was pregnant. She's always treated me different than anybody and she still hates Steve." she chuckled softly, walking Lily back over to the bank and tossing her saddle back on. "We probably should START to head back since you know us, it'll take us at least an hour." They just enjoyed the ride and always took their time.

Jen smiled as she hopped back on Harley, petting his neck and reaching back to pat the top of his butt, "And look at you now, a country girl, what would your friend in New York say?" She teased. "Harleys always been a gentle boy too, with everybody, unlike SOMEONE we know" She smiled and nodded to Lily, "I kinda love her hatred for Steve though, its funny and just makes her that much more special" She laughed, nudging Harley on once Sam was ready, "Yeah well you know us, yappin' and laughin' and not payin' attention to the time" She said the last part in a low voice, mimicking Rob and Steve every time they'd be gone for four or five hours on a trail ride that should have only been two hours at the most.

When they got to the flat part of the trail, Harley pricked his ears up and looked around, stopping and Jen kicks him on, "Come'on" She said softly, waiting for Sam to get nextto her with Lily and Harley walked on but stopped again, this time spinning around and snorting, Jen keeping her seat and turning him back the way they were going, "Harley ..." She laughed, patting his neck, "Its okay, you're okay" She said gently, nudging him on and he hopped up a bit, not quite a rear but a big enough hop to unseat her a bit, "Harley stop" she said a bit more sternly, turning him in a circle and making him stand still and he wont have any of it, backing up and hopping, tossing his head and snorting, "Harley, quit it!" She said a little louder, staying calm but trying to hold his attention and he continues to back himself up, eyes wide and he keeps backing up until his hind end backs into a big oak tree that lined the trail and he reared up, snorting and scaring himself, turning the opposite direction and then back the way they'd originally been going to head home and jumping forward, tripping over his own feet, his nose hitting the dirt as he unseats Jen, he trips again and Jen loses one of her stirrups just as Harley stands and tries to collect himself but slips on the rocky trail as he turns, scared and he goes down, Jen going with him and falling off to one side, and everything goes silent, she doesnt know whats going on or whats happening but she looks back at Sam as Harley tries to get himself back up, and once he does, shes finding herself on the ground, one foot caught in her stirrup as Harley takes off, dragging her.

"My friends in New York would think I'd completely lost my mind." she chuckled, as they headed back home. "I think Lily would love everybody if she hadn't been abused but I do enjoy her hating Steve. It makes me laugh every single time she pins her ears back at him." She knew how Steve and Rob loved to tease them but really didn't mind how long they were out riding.

Sam didn't think anything of Harley stopping as she moved up beside of them, knowing the horses could hear things they couldn't. He took off ahead of Lily and while Lily wasn't as nervous and scared as Harley, but she was nervously moving around. "Jen, maybe you should hop off until he calms down." Yes, Sam loved the horses but she always worried when a horse seemed to get spooked. Sam tried to keep Lily calm and amazingly, she stayed put while Harley continued to spook himself that much more. "Oh my god, Jen!" Sam shouted when Harley took Jen down with him, their eyes meeting for a moment before Sam hopped off her horse to grab Harley's reins, her fingers brushing over them just as harley took off. "NOOOOOOO!!" Sam screamed, jumping back on Lily and taking off after her and Harley. "Harley stop!" she yelled, even though she knew the only way she could stop him was to grab his reins. She gently kicked Lily's sides to get her to move faster. "Come on, girl. We gotta stop Harley." She tried not to think of just how injured Jen would be from this.

Everything had been a blur to Jen, not even able to answer Sam back about what her friends thought of her being a country girl and she swears, as shes pulled along the dirt trail, all she can think about is Josh, and Rob, and how just minutes before her and Sam had been laughing and playing in the water. She didnt feel much and couldnt hear much, her mind cloudy, eyes finding it hard to focus and then she closes her eyes, opening them shes not sure how long after she'd fallen off, hearing Sams voice but closing her eyes again. Harley had bolted at a dead run, continuing down the path but his severely sprained leg, torn muscles, cuts and scrapes all over his body had slowed him down and he hears Lily behind him, stopping himself and spinning, still spooked and now even more spooked at Jen on the ground essentially following him every where he went, not understanding why she was hanging from the side of him.

All Sam could think about was how much fun she and Jen had been having and how they were looking forward to all of them having dinner with Will and Carol that evening. Sam felt so helpless only being able to follow along and try to catch Harley, Jen's body being tossed around like a rag doll. When Harley finally stopped and spun around, she let Lily get closer to him and she was finally able to grab his reins, hoping Lily could calm him down enough for her to get Jen loose. "Jen, I'm here. I'm gonna get you out of there. Stay with me, Jen. Talk to me." The first thing she did was gently untangle Jen's foot from the stirrup. Sam could tell just by looking that her leg was broken, most likely in several spots. She gently laid it on the ground and then moved Harley away from her, Lily following along. She ran back to Jen and brushed her hair out of her face and cupped her cheeks. "Jen, sweetie can you hear me?"

Harley had snorted and was dancing around a bit even with Lily next to him and once Sam had untangled Jen from the stirrup he settled a bit and limped away from Jen a bit, hanging his head low and breathing hard, nose bleeding from the trauma, heat, and adrenaline rush, legs quivering a bit and he hops between trying to keep his weight off his front right leg and his back left leg, Lily standing next to Harley and nuzzling his neck.

Jen opened her eyes a bit, her face covered with dirt and blood, a large cut above her eye, lip split open, and so many broken bones she couldnt feel them, in fact, she couldnt feel anything and she looked up at Sam, tears dripping down her cheeks, "I cant feel my legs" She cried, and luckily, she couldnt feel anything, though if she could, the shock would probably prevent her from feeling the pain right now.

While she didn't want to scare Jen, Sam couldn't stop her tears from falling, partly because Jen was scared and crying and because she knew just how badly she was injured. She knew she couldn't move her or get her back home on her own. She'd have to go get the guys. She brushed what dirt she could off of Jen's face and used the bottom of her tank to wipe away the blood, not wanting it to get into Jen's eyes. "It's okay, Jen. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna go get help and you're gonna be just fine. Laid up for a while but you're gonna be fine." She held Jen's hand, gently rubbing it and unsure if she could even feel it. "Listen to me, Jen. You gotta stay awake, okay? I gotta leave you here just long enough to go get help and I'm gonna bring Rob back with me so you gotta stay awake? Okay?"

Jen looked at Sam and then around her with frantic, scared eyes, the tears still streaming down her face and she could feel pressure in her hand and she squeezed, or so she thought she was squeezing, she didnt know, and she tried to take a deep breath but it hurt and she closed her eyes, "Please dont leave" she said softly, almost too quietly for Sam to even hear and she knew Sam had to go get help, they were too far away for Sam to yell and have anyone hear her and she sure couldnt get back up and on Harley and walk back, and she opened her eyes, looking at Sam, so scared and nodded her head, "Okay ... okay" She said through her tears. "Wheres Harley? Is he okay?" She asked.

It tore Sam up when Jen asked her not to leave but they couldn't waste the time for the guys to finally come looking for them. That would take much longer than Sam going after them. She brushed her hand across Jen's cheek, her own tears still falling. "I have to leave. I have to go get help. You're gonna be just fine but we gotta get you to a hospital. We can't wait for the guys to come find us." She looked over Jen's battered body once more and really didn't know just how bad she was hurt. She wouldn't tell Jen but she looked pretty bad to her. She glanced over at Harley and Lily and was a little relieved to see that he'd settled down but she could tell his injuries were what stopped him from running. "He's right here with Lily. He's calm now. I'm gonna bring him over here to you. He'll keep you good company until we get back." She got up and grabbed Harley's reins, leading him back over to Jen. She could feel Jen squeezing her hand earlier so she placed the reins in her hand, not that she needed to. "Here's Harley. He's gonna keep you company. She leaned down and kissed Jen's cheek before looking into her eyes. "I love you, Jen. I'm gonna be back just as fast as I can. Talk to Harley and try to stay awake.

She jumped back on Lily and took off, the horse going as fast as she could along the trail until the got to the lower pasture and Sam kicked her sides, making her run even faster. She'd held herself together amazingly well with Jen but the closer she got to the house, the more nervous she got. "STEVE!!!" she yelled once she could see the barn and the house, still running Lily hard through the pasture. "STEVE!!!"

Jen couldnt move anything but her eyes, mouth and hands, which she wasnt aware she could even move and she cried a little harder when Sam gave her Harleys reins and she gripped them tight, Harley dropping his head and nuzzling Jen who looked up at Sam, sniffling a bit, "I love you too" She said quietly.

Steve and Rob had been working on Steves old Bronco when he hears Sam yelling his name and he walks out from the work shop which is directly behind the barn and he sees her flying through the pasture and he runs out, Rob right behind him, "Sam!?" He called back and runs out into the pasture, and thats when he notices her shirt when she gets close and Rob realizes Jens not with her, "Wheres Jen? What ... holy shit Sam what happened?" He asked, nodding to her shirt and Steve was already running to the workshop to grab the gator, yell for his dad and toss the first aid kit and a blanket in the back.

Sam hated leaving Jen alone even if Harley was with her. She knew just how scared she'd be if it would have been the other way around. At least now that Harley was calm again, Sam knew he'd look after his girl.

She finally stopped yelling once she saw Steve and by the time she stopped, she was so flustered, she had to make herself talk as she tried to catch her breath and calm herself down. "Harley, he...he got spooked and he fell...Jen fell. He took off before I could stop him. Jen..." She started crying again. "He took off...dragging her. She can't move. I couldn't bring her back." Sam didn't wait around for them and she didn't get off of Lily. Once she told them what happened, she took back off for the trail, wanting to get back to Jen. They'd soon catch up with her and Lily.

Rob and Steve catch bits of what Sams saying and before they know it shes taking off back the way she came on Lily and Will pulls up on the gator, "Ambulance is on the way" He said, Rob and Steve hopping in the gator and taking off through the pasture and up the trail, right on Sam and Lilys heels and Rob rubs a hand over his face having no idea how bad it was, what to expect, and really even what to do and then finally stop at the top of the trail, turning the corner slowly and seeing Jen laying on the ground and Harley standing over her, Rob almost falling out of the gator as he stumbled over to Jen and Steve walked over to check Harley, quietly backing him away from everyone and Rob takes Jens hand, "Baby, Jen ... look at me baby, come'on" He whispered and Jen opened her eyes, seeing Rob and crying again, "Im sorry" She said quietly and he shook his head, "Dont be sorry, you didnt do anythin' wrong" He squeezed her hand and Jens eyes moved around a bit, "Wheres Sam?" She asked, tears streaming down her face and Rob wiped them away.

Sam felt like she had been away from Jen for hours as she hurried back to the trail, slowing down only as much as Lily had to. Besides, Lily knew Jen was hurt and knew they had to hurry back to her. Sam probalby should have warned Rob how bad Jen was but she just wanted them to get back to her and get her out of there. Once they were at the top of the hill, Sam stopped Lily and watched Rob go to Jen. Sam jumped off of Lily and cautiously moved closer, her terrified eyes looking over at Steve until she heard Jen ask where she was. "I'm right here, Jen." She was quickly on the ground again beside Jen, taking her other hand and carding her free hand gently through Jen's hair. "I told you I'd be back and I'd bring Rob. We're gonna get you out of here."

Steve stayed where he was with Harley, not wanting to crowd Jen, and from where he was standing, she didnt look too good and to be honest, he wasnt sure if she'd make it to the hospital. Rob looked down at Jen who currently had her eyes on Sam, tears falling down her cheeks, "Im sorry Sam" She said softly and Rob stood up for a moment walking back to Steve and Steve gently grabs his arm, "Its okay man, the ambulance is comin'" He said softly and Rob shook his head, "Everythin' Steve ... everythin' is broken, her legs, her arms, shes white as a ghost, her lips barely have color I ... I dont know what to do" He said, and Steve squeezed his arm, "Go be with her" Steve said, nodding to Jen and looking at Sam. When Rob comes back Jen looks over at him, "Give Josh a kiss for me" She said softly and Rob nodded his head, "I will" He said and she took a breath, tears streaming down her face because that breath hurt, "And read him bed time stories, and make sure he brushes his teeth" She said and Rob bit his lip, dropping his head and nodding it and Jen looked over at Sam, "Dont let him treat Chloe as anything less than a princess" She said and if she could laugh or smile, she would have.
