Taylor House

It was exactly 1 week after Julie had learned that her cancer was back. She was furious, pissed, mad and above all determined to fight this ugly SOB. She had a good life to look forward too. Her life with Tim more importantly and how they had declared their love for each other last week.

"Julie baby you ready to go?" asked Tami as she walked in Julie's room. Julie was looking at the necklace that Tim had given her. She remembered telling him that it was her lucky charm and that she would always wear it.

"Yes Mom I am ready." replied Julie as she turned around and faced her mother.

Her mother noticed that she was holding onto something asked her "Hon what you got there?" She came closer to her.

Julie dangled the star necklace that Tim had given her in front of her mother and replied "This is my lucky charm that Tim gave me, but what he does not know is that this is just a piece of jewellery to me. He is my lucky charm." Julie smiled brightly and Tami gave her a hug.

"Well that he is hon. Tim has turned out to be a fine young man and I am glad that he is part of our lives." Said Tami as she looked at Julie in her eyes. "Let's get going."

It was Julie's first day of chemo today and she had decided that she wanted her mother there with her today. Tim had insisted that he wanted to be there for her, but Julie told him that she needed today by herself.

He was not happy with that, but understood that she needs to do this by herself.

Riggins Place

Tim was making a pot of coffee when he heard a knock on the door.

"Tim you gonna let me in or what?" asked Billy in southern accent.

Tim moved out of the way to make room for his brother to enter. He closed the door, scratched the back of head and replied "Billy what ya doin here?" He made his way back to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.

Billy set Kenzie down in the playpen that was in the living room. "I thought that me and your niece would spend some time with ya, since Julie has her first chemo session today." Billy replied as he made his way over to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee for him too.

"Yea she does not want me to be there today, but I am having hard time not being there. I want to support her in every way I can." said Tim as he took a sip of his coffee and walked over to the dining table to sit down.

Billy walked over, sat down opposite him, and said, "I know how much you care for Julie. I also know that this must be killing you sitting here and doing nothing. When you could be at the hospital helping her, but sometimes when you love someone you have to give them space and respect their wishes" Billy looked at Tim in the eyes and took a sip of his own coffee.

Tim nodded his head in agreement and asked, "Where is Tj?"

Billy looked at his brother and replied "Mindy took Tj to the dentist today. He is gonna have braces fitted for him."

Tim smirked knowing that when Billy was young he too had braces. Tim got up, walked over to where Kenzie was, and smiled down at her. He turned around her and said, "You know Billy I never imagined you as a father. Now that I have seen you being one, you amaze me." Tim turned back around, faced Kenzie in the playpen, and watched his beautiful niece sleep.

Billy got up and walked over and said

"You know I was so scared when I found out Mindy was pregnant with Tj I was freaking out. But when the doc placed that little guy in my arms I instantly fell in love him." Billy was smiling brightly at remembering the memory of when his son was born.

"How about when this little one was born?" asked Tim as he pointed at the playpen with sleeping Kenzie.

"That was totally different story. When that doc put her in my arms, I was so amazed at the little beauty. She had brown hair, green eyes like yours." Tim smiled at Billy when he said that. "She grabbed my finger with one of her hands and I was a goner, I knew at that moment that I have to keep her safe from boys like Tim Riggins when she gets older." Billy slapped his brother's shoulder laughing.

Tim laughed and nodded his head in agreement.

Hospital

Tami and Julie were at the room where the treatment was going to happen. She settled in the chair, looked around and saw other people with IV's in them getting the treatment.

She looked at her mom and smiled. "Relax hon everything is going to be fine." said Tami, but deep down inside Tami was praying to god to make everything ok for her baby girl.

The doctor came in and gave information to Julie and her mother regarding the treatment and some literature information for her to read. "Ok so when the medicine starts your veins are going to feel like there is ice running through them. That will settle once it starts to flow." Julie nodded her headed as the drip started.

"Oh wow! That is cold," stated Julie once the drip had started. Tami brought her hand up and caressed Julie's hair. "Mom talk to me, tell me a story distract me."

"Ok how is it going with you and Tim?" asked Tami.

Julie looked at her mom and replied "Mom I asked to you tell me a story, not ask questions about my relationship with Tim.

Tami laughed at her daughters comment and entwined her hands with Julie's. "Well I find that the most distracting thing to do is talking about one's relationship. Think of it this way it will give us a chance to bond.

Julie smiled at her mom and said, "We are doing great. I am so grateful and lucky to have him in my life." Tami smiled and nodded her head urging her to continue.

"You know last week Tim and I declared our love for each other. It was so special. I know that I hurt him that he could not come today, but I just needed to have this day with you." said Julie as she squeezed her mother's hand and closed her eyes.

"I know baby, I know baby." replied Tami as she ran put her free hand over their entwined hands. "Tim loves you honey, I see everyday in that boy's eyes. I am sure he understands."

Taylor House

Julie and Tami entered the house it was late in the afternoon. Julie was drained physically from her chemo, she was feeling nauseous and all she wanted to do was sleep.

Julie situated herself in her bed and sent a text to Tim to let him know that she was home and was fine. She asked him to drop by later for dinner. After she got a reply back from Tim that he will indeed stop by for dinner, she closed her eyes and decided to get a nap.

"Tami hon how did it go today?" asked a very worried Eric to his wife. He made his way towards the kitchen where Tami was making something to eat.

"It was good. She did really well, but the chemo is going to be physically draining for her. She has to take easy for a couple of days." replied Tami as she gave her husband a kiss on the lips.

Eric removed his hat, scratched his head, and asked, "When does she have to go again for the next round?"

Tami looking at her husband answered "After 20 days. She has 5 sessions every 20 days. So, now she has 4 more to go."

A couple of hours later

The doorbell rang at the Taylor place and Eric got up to answer it. "Tim come on in." Tim greeted the coach and came in.

"Tim how are ya?" drawled Tami from the kitchen as she was making some soup for Julie.

"I am doing good Mrs Taylor. How about you?" answered Tim in a calm voice, as he got closer to the kitchen.

Tami gave him a smile that said she is doing well.

"So How did go today with Jules?" asked a worried Tim.

"Why don't you ask Jules herself?" answered Julie as she came into the kitchen with a grin on her face. She looked completely worn out and tired.

Upon hearing, Julie Tim turned around to face her with smile on his face. He walked closer to her and gave her small peck on the cheek. "Ok then how are you doing?" asked Tim. He noticed that she looked tired, but she still looked beautiful to him.

"So I am going to say this once so I don't have to repeat it again and again. I am doing fine as fine as I can be. I am tired, but I am going to beat this cancer. So all of ya can stop worrying about it and enjoy life. I plan on doing that." answered Julie in one breath. She smiled and was glad that Tim had stopped by because she really did miss him a lot.

Everyone in the room nodded and agreed no more asking on how she feels. They all sat down to eat supper. Once the supper was done, Julie and Tim went in the backyard to talk.

"Tim I wanted to apologize for today. I know how much you wanted to come with me, but please know I just needed to do this with my mom." said Julie as she took Tim's hand and entwined it with hers.

Tim looking at their hands brought his lips closer to her forehead and gave her a kiss. "Taylor I am not mad for today. Did I want to be there today for you? Yes. But I understand that you needed to do this for you and I respect that." He took his free hand and caressed his thumb on her cheeks.

Julie closed her eyes at the feeling of his thumb caressing her cheek. She opened her eyes, moved her head closer to his, and gave him a kiss on the lips. The kiss started slow, but as it went on Tim deepened the kiss and caressed his tongue with hers. He heard her moan and he smirked at the sound of that. "I love you Taylor." Tim murmured in between the kiss.

"I love you back." Julie murmured in between the kiss. As the kiss stopped she opened her eyes and looked Tim and said "Kinda works out great don't ya think?"

Tim looking sweetly at Julie cupped her face and replied, "It works out great, really great." He then gently kissed her and embraced her.
