“I’m going to jump in the shower. Aunt Rita said she’ll be here in fifteen minutes, and then we can go into town.” Ky was excited and paused quickly to give Brodie a kiss and Emily a tickle. She wasn’t having it and just fussed until Ky lifted her away from Brodie and blew raspberries on her belly. Then she laughed, but returned to the fussing as soon as he had to give her back. Clearly Emily wanted someone other than her brother.

“She’s been like this for the last two hours.” Brodie seemed a little at wit’s end.

“Try taking her out to see the horses. She may be a little bored, and she always loves them.” Ky tried peekaboo, but Emily just fussed and squirmed to get down. Even the dogs couldn’t calm her.

“She isn’t hungry or thirsty, and her diaper is fine. You go clean up while she and I take a walk.” Brodie took Emily’s hand, and she walked along with him, still sniffling, but thankfully it seemed to die down. The dogs all followed like they were Emily’s personal security.

Ky hurried to the bathroom, undressed, and tossed his dirty clothes into the hamper, then took a shower. It felt good to get clean and cool off. The day had been a scorcher, but the work needed to get done, and he was making progress bringing the ranch back up to where it should be.

Once clean and dry, he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed to his bedroom. There was no sound in the house, so he dressed in clean jeans and a white shirt before plopping his cowboy hat on his head and pulling on his good boots. Still not hearing anyone come in, he went outside.

The dogs barking frantically pulled his attention, and he raced across the yard toward the barn. Emily stood on a hay bale, the dogs all jumping and barking around her while Brodie closed one of the stall doors.

“What happened?”

“One of the empty stall doors was unlocked, and Emily tried to go inside. I stopped her, and she wasn’t too happy. The dogs started barking, and I needed to get the door closed.” He latched it, and Ky picked up Emily.

“You can’t go in there, little lady. No, you can’t. They can have horses in there, and they’re big,” he said, and she pointed. “Yes. Those are horses. And I know you think they’re your friends, but they are strong and don’t know where they’re putting their feet sometimes.” His heart rate began to calm, and Ky could just imagine how revved up Brodie was. Emily seemed to be picking up on their discomfort and started whimpering. Ky bounced her and then gave her a tickle to calm her before settling Emily on his hip and holding Brodie with his other arm. “She’s okay, and the stall was empty. I’ll talk to Ben and make sure that all of them are kept closed.” He gently kissed Brodie and then flew Emily like an airplane, getting plenty of giggles.
