she wobbled but tried to right herself without hurting Tyler. she felt weird and uncordinated, like a toddler learning how to use their legs. she tried not to sway but it was difficult. she held on to Tyler's good arm and braced herself. she didn't feel ready for this but Tyler being right there eased her fears a little bit. she moved her toes a little but still could not move her foot. she turned her head and that's when she noticed how close they were. she looked up at him as he steadied her.

Tyler made sure Abby didn't fall over, but loosened his grip slightly as to allow her to move a little. "It's fine, you can't hurt me." He saw she was trying to be careful and smiled. "Try to put a little more weight on your legs. I promise, I got you" he said quietly, gazing into her eyes for a second before taking a step so she had room to stand... but still almost supporting her whole weight. The pain in his chest was getting terrible but he didn't no really care how bad it was, as long as Abby got better.

she could feel the rush of blood through her veins in her legs and she got a little light headed and dizzy. after letting his words sink in she answered, "your too tall" she gave a light giggle "i'm to short to put weight on my legs if i'm barely touching the ground" she smiled and looked up at him. "wait... turn me around... or help me turn around..." she stopped then quickly added a subtle "please?"

"And how am I supposed to change that?" He suppressed a laugh.. his ribs were hurting enough a,ready. At her request he helped her turn around, wondering why but not really caring. The important thing was she was standing.. kind of. He tried to lower her a little bit so she could actually stand on her own two legs... yep he was too tall. Tyler tried to help the best he could... he just knew he had to get her walking. She was already so unhappy and he couldn't bear to see her like that.

she adgusted her grip on his good arm and let herself take a deep breath. she fealt the ground for the forst time in over a month. it was amazing. she closed her eyes, trying not to lose her balance but almost failing. she wobbled and her eyes flew open right when her head came to an inch from his chest. she gulped and she felt her blush that fought its way up her cheeks.

"You are Doug great" Tyler said right before he caught her on her way to crashing into him. "Still gold progress." He commented sheepishly, hoping that his other comment wasn't taken... badly. Once he had steadied her again he tried to let go a little more. Tyler knew she could do it... she just had to try.

she gulped as she looked up at him. a tingle started from her toes and made its way up her legs. a look of terror filled her eyes as she watched his. she looked down "i cant do it. i cant do it. i cant do it" she slowly shook her head. she knew he had to be going through a deep pain in his ribs

Tyler frowned slightly. "You can you can you can do it. Believe in yourself. Do it for Titan. For your baby filly that will want to be trained and ridden. Do it for me." He said quietly, steadying her as she started shaking but letting her go a little after he spoke. He believed in her... she just had to believe in herself. He wrapped his arms around her in a quick, comforting hug. "I know you can do it." He finished, looking at her with his sparkling black eyes.

She shook her head until he said to do it for him. She looked up at him and put weight on her shaking legs. When he hugged her, she hugged him back. She didn't want to let go... But she did. Her green-blue eyes twinkled and the yellow starburst in her eyes seemed to shine brighter than normal. She wanted to say something but words caught in her throat. She was feeling something... Like her heart was doing flips. She didn't know what to do about it, so she just looked down and continued to straighten her legs

"There you go, you are getting it." Tyler smiled. "I'm nit kidding Abby, you are the strongest person I know. You have everything it takes to walk, and ride again. Let's prove those doctors wrong." He let go a little bit more, letting her out a tiny bit more weight on her feet. Once she could mostly stand on her own we could be done for now... little steps.
