CHAPTER 20
EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE
6 months later
"Tyra, not so tight, you'll squeeze the baby right out of me," Julie complained as Tyra tried to tie her wedding dress.
"I can't believe he knocked you up again," Tyra groaned, loosening the stays a little.
"What can I say? Tim Riggins doesn't do a half job," Julie laughed. "It was bigger surprise the first time, when we used protection."
"Then what happened?" Tyra raised an eyebrow, setting the dress on Julie.
"J.T.," Julie shrugged.
"Wow," Tyra grinned when she finished up with Julie. "You look amazing."
"Thanks," Julie smiled, turning toward the mirror. "We'll take as many photos as we can. Next month I'll be an elephant."
"At least it won't be a surprise," Tyra started to laugh. "I still remember how you freaked out when out of the blue you put on God knows how many pounds in sixth months."
"I truly believed I won't get fat, I even lost weight in the first few months," Julie joined Tyra.
"Oh, Jules, honey," Tami stepped in the room, her eyes filling with tears. "You are beautiful."
"Mom, stop it, you'll ruin my make up if you make me cry," Julie grinned, hugging her mom.
"Not everyday that my baby gets married," Tami sniffled.
"Your baby who is a mom as well," Julie rolled her eyes, trying to hold back her own tears.
"Girls, are you ready? We gotta go… Oh…" Eric gasped when he saw Julie.
"Hey, Dad," Julie smiled at him.
Tyra and Tami left the room to take their places at the chapel, leaving Eric and Julie alone.
"He doesn't deserve you," Eric shook his head, trying to swallow back his tears.
"We'd better go," Julie smiled at Eric, putting her hands in his.
Tyra and Mindy stood next to the altar, on the other side Jason and Landry with J.T. and Tim in the middle, watching her with wide eyes.
"You know it's still not too late. You can say no," Eric mumbled to Julie as they made their way between the pews.
"Dad," Julie laughed, quietly. "I love him."
Julie knew her dad didn't mean it, he was just nervous because he was "losing" his little girl.
"I know," Eric sighed, stopping in front of the altar, giving Julie's hand to Tim.
"I entrust my daughter to you. I hope you know what will happen if you hurt her again," Eric looked sharply at Tim.
"Yes, sir," Tim swallowed hard.
"Dad," Julie rolled her eyes.
"I love you, honey," Eric kissed her daughter and left to sit next to Tami and Gracie Bell.
"I still can't believe you choose me," Tim said to Julie, stepping in front of the priest.
"Neither can I," Tyra groaned behind them, causing Julie to roll her eyes.
"Now the rings," the priest said.
J.T. reached into his pocket, making a face.
"There's a little problem," he cleared his throat, almost giving a heart attack to Tim.
"What… what problem?" Tim looked at him with wide eyes, starting to be green and white at the same time.
"Just kiddin'" J.T. smirked, bringing out the rings. "No worries, Dad."
Tim caught his breath and Julie's eyes filled with tears. It was the first time J.T. called Tim "Dad," giving them the most amazing wedding gift they could imagine.
"So I'm not much of a man of words…" Tim mumbled.
It surprised Julie when he came up with the idea of writing their own vows but she said she was okay with it if he wanted it that way.
"But I want you to know, Julie Taylor, that I love you more than anything. I don't understand how an amazing woman like you could choose me for a whole life but I'm thankful for it. Thank you for never wanting to change me, loving me the way I am and forgiving me for what I did and for our son and the little life in you. All I can ask for is that I hope I can make you as happy as I am because I am the happiest man in the world and I hope I can give you everything you've ever dreamt of. I love you, Jules."
Julie couldn't hold it back anymore, her tears ran out unstoppable, first J.T., then Tim and his vow, and on the top of it her hormones turned upside down so she would cry anyway.
"Ahm, wow…" Julie sniffled. "I wrote a vow what would be enough for a book but I forgot it," she giggled.
"Oh, well, then…" she said, ready to make the vows up on the spot. "Don't ever try to leave me ever again. I don't think I could deal with it because you are everything I've ever dreamt of and everything I'll ever need. Thank you for fighting for me when I tried to push you away and for being an amazing father to our son. I love you, Tim Riggins."
Mr. and Mrs. Riggins made their way between the pews, holding their son's hands, feeling perfectly happy with their life. Everybody cheered for them, throwing rice when they arrived to the gate.
Finally, they were where they always had to be, beside each other, always and forever.
