A Love Story – Julie and Ram

**Present Day**

When Ram came into their apartment after his shift was over, he found Julie wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. She was looking through one their many photo albums and scrapbooks. When they moved into this apartment together, right before they got married, Julie found his shoe boxes of pictures and decided to put together albums from both of their childhoods, her college years and his military years, both of their early years with RangeMan, and the newest one included their dating days and ended with their wedding. They had been married almost two years now and Ram never thought he'd be as happy as he's been since he started dating Julie. He never thought he deserved to be this happy. He slipped onto the couch behind her and pulled her onto his lap. He reached around and put both hands on her ever growing stomach. She sighed and leaned against him. He kissed the side of her neck and said, "Is she doing okay today?" Julie laughed and said, "Yes, he is doing just fine. Just a bit too active for my liking today so I thought I'd rest on the couch." They didn't want to find out the sex of their baby, but each thought they knew the sex. She had about six weeks to go and had just started cutting back her work hours.

"Looking through this album again? Not having second thoughts of being married to me, are you?" Julie set the album down and twisted in his arms. She put her hands around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. "Never, it was the best thing I've ever done and you know that Ramsey. I was just in a sappy mood and wanted to look back at our early days together." He nuzzled her neck and sighed. "You know, we could move this into the bedroom and you could stretch out better and we could look through the album together." Julie laughed and said, "You know if we go into the bedroom, the last thing we'll be doing is going through the album." They kissed again and after Ram stood up, he pulled her to her feet and swept her into his arms and carried her to bed. After a round of gentle lovemaking, they snuggled up together and looked through the album, starting with Steph and Ranger's wedding.
