TULIE –SET FIVE YEARS IN THE FUTURE
It was beautiful sunny morning in New York city, but Julie Taylor was sitting at the JFK airport ready to board her flight back home to Dillon, Texas. It had been two long years since she visited home and was missing it. Sitting in the plane ride she flashed back to the conversation she had with her doctor at the hospital
"Ms Taylor, I am sorry to give you these news, I know it is a lot to process, but there is a treatment which we can get started as soon as possible." Said Dr Sara Wickers. "I know am still a bit shocked to hear this, it is a lot to process Dr." Said Julie.
Couple of hours later Julie was brought back to reality as she was on her way to her old house in Dillon in the rental car, thinking how she is going to tell her parents the news about her, just thinking about it was making her nauseous . Seeing her house in clear sight she saw that there were a lot of cars parked in the front and was wondering what was going on in her old home. Julie made her way to the front door walked in and was jolted by Gracie bell her 6 year old sister.
"Jules" said an excited Gracie bell and jumped up to give her older sister a big hug. "Hey Gracie, wow u have grown so much since the last time I saw you." Said Julie. Hearing all the noise coming from the front door Tami Taylor made her way to see what all the commotion was about. "Oh my god!" exclaimed a surprised Tami Taylor and made her way to hug her oldest child. "Jules it is so good to see you, but why did you not call and tell us your dad or I would picked you up at the airport." Said Tami Taylor in her southern drawl. "Hi mom, well if I had told you guys then it would not been a surprise." Said Jules. "Well, now it does not matter you are here and I am glad, I have missed you so much Julie." Said Tami.
As the Taylor ladies made their way to the backyard Julie asked her mom "What is going on here mom? There are so many cars parked outside." Said Julie. "Well honey it is an engagement party for Buddy Garrity." Said Tami. "Oh wow Buddy Garrity getting married, who is the woman?" asked a very surprised Julie. As Tami was about to answer Eric Taylor saw his daughter and came and hugged her so hard, that Julie was breathless "Ms Julie Taylor, this is a good surprise it is good to have home honey." Said a very excited Eric Taylor. "Hey Dad! Yeah I thought I would give you, mum and Gracie bell a surprise and come home." Said a very tired Julie. As Eric and Tami went back to attend to the guests, Julie made her way to grab a beer and calm her nerves, she was not feeling that good. "Hi Julie." Said Mindy Riggins. Julie upon hearing her name turned around and saw Mindy cradling her six month old baby girl, who looked so cute and adorable with big chubby cheeks and beautiful green eyes "Hi Mindy, how are you? It is good to see ya and who is this little one here? "Asked Julie as she put her hand out to wiggle the little girls foot. " This here is Kenzie Marie Riggins." Said a very exhausted Mindy. "Wow Mindy you absolutely look tired, do you want me to hold her?" a gracious Mindy handed Julie the baby and decided to grab some food from the table set up. "So how has NY been treating you?" asked Mindy as she was taking a bite from her hamburger. "It has been good, can't complain I have a job that I love and the city is gorgeous." Said Julie.
Julie then saw Billy and Tim trying to play football with a five year old boy who looked a bit like Billy and said to Mindy "Looks like your husband and brother-in-law just got tackled by a five year old kid." Said a laughing Julie. "Oh yah that little one isTJ short for Timothy Jr and has his dad and uncle both wrapped around his fingers." Smiled Mindy as she was looking on. Billy and Tim Riggins made their way to Mindy and Julie and upon seeing his daughter in Julie's arms Billy said "Ms Julie Taylor is that my beautiful gorgeous girl you are holding." A smiling Julie answered "why yes Mr Riggins, she is adorable. Hi Tim."
"Hey Taylor, how are ya?" asked Tim in southern drawl. "Good, can't complain and good to be home." Said Julie. As the party started to wind down and the guest started to leave, Julie made sure she said her congratulations to the new happy couple and started helping her parents clean up the mess "Julie leave that, come on now you must be tired why don't you take a shower and go and sleep your dad and I will take care of this mess." Said Tami. "You sure mom I really don't mind helping." Said Julie and started to yawn. " I am sure hon." Julie made her way to her old room to get changed and ready for a goodnight sleep, as she thinks about how she is going break the news to her parents about what she found out in New York, just thinking about it was making her sick. She got her prescription pills that Dr Wickers had given her and took them and went to sleep thinking "Tomorrow is another day."
