Two Hearts, One Love
Chapter 2
Julie and Tim were in his childhood room of his brother's house changing into more comfortable clothes for the get together they were having. Julie glanced over at Tim, who was staring at her with a huge grin.
"What?" Julie asked grinning back.
"You're absolutely beautiful. I still can't believe you're my wife… We have come so far…"
"Julie Riggins… Sounds pretty cute, don't you think?" Julie winked.
"You know what sounds even cuter?"
"What's that?" Julie asked as she sat down on her husbands lap.
"Little Tim Riggins Jr. and little Julie Riggins Jr."
"You're thinking about babies?" Julie asked in shock.
"I've always had a thing for kids, but kids of our own would be the best gift in the world…"
"I agree," Julie smiled in amazement. Her husband was perfect.
Flashback
Julie arrived at Tim's house just in time to see him load the last suitcase into his truck. Julie had cried the last two days straight and she was trying so hard to keep her composure until after Tim had left. He walked over to where she was now standing and gave her a huge hug.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Julie asked.
"You can spend my last hour in Dillon with me, being the incredible girlfriend you always have been," Tim kissed the top of her forehead. He knew she was trying to be brave. He had done a terrific job of it himself.
"I made you something," Julie smiled as she pulled out a picture album from her bag. Tim grinned as he took it from her looking at all the photographs they had taken together.
"This is really cool. Thank you!" Tim smiled.
"I just don't want you to forget about me… or us," Julie began to cry.
"Never. Julie, the only thing that is changing is the amount of distance between us. I still have a phone and internet and I will visit as often as possible."
"I know. I'm just really gonna miss you. That's all," Julie sighed.
A car pulled up the drive way honking its horn, startling Julie and Tim. They noticed it was their friends, Street, Lyla, Tyra and Landry. Tim waved as they climbed out of the car to wish their friend good luck.
"Hey do you guys mind going inside a minute? I need to talk to Street," Tim spoke. Everyone else went inside where Billy was cooking a going away meal for the friends.
"What's up?" Street asked worried.
"I need you to keep an eye on Julie. She is sad and I don't want her to feel alone here without me. Please promise me you will visit her and check on her and just make sure she is okay," Tim begged his best friend.
"Yeah, of course," Street agreed. "It's not like you're going off to War or anything though. You'll still have a phone and be able to talk to her."
"She will try to hide her feelings. I know her. You're the only one I can trust to be honest with me about her."
"Okay. No worries. You just go play some amazing Georgia football!" Street beamed. He was so proud of his best friend.
"I guess I can't say Texas Forever, anymore?" Tim laughed.
"You'll be back… Texas is where your heart will be… In more ways than one." Street spoke as he noticed Julie sitting by the window lost in thought.
End Flashback
"Hey Julie Riggins! Get your scrawny butt out here!" Tyra called through Tim's bedroom door. Julie laughed at her best friend. Tyra was always good at interrupting in the most passionate of times.
"Be right out," Julie called.
"We're trying to make a baby!" Tim called out. The door flew open, revealing Tyra, Street and Lyla.
"Oh my goodness, Congratulations!" Tyra beamed as she walked towards the bed where Julie and Tim were covered only by the sheets. She hugged Julie.
"We'll be right out, honest. If you guys wouldn't mind closing the door so we can get dressed," Julie's face was as red as a tomato.
