"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Doug, happy birthday to you." Everyone at the party sang in somewhat harmony. Julie and Maggie had tried so hard to make the party a success and the did just that. Doug was very surprised to see all his family and friends at his home to celebrate his birthday. Julie was then surprised to find that Maggie had invited Bonnie Lockhart to the party. Maggie and Bonnie had come to an understanding when Mickey chose Maggie. In fact they were becoming sort of friends, which pleased Mickey.
As he thought of a wish he realized that he had gotten most of the things he wanted already. He finally thought of a wish and blew out the candles and smiled. He looked around the room at all of his loved ones and realized how blessed he was. Sure he'd had his share of hard times and unhappy moments but all the good times made up for it.
"Happy Birthday darling!" Julie smiled and walked up to Doug and gave him a kiss. Doug then deepened the kiss and held her tight, loving every moment he shared with his fair lady. As they pulled away, they realized everyone watching them. "Well I didn't know we were so interesting to watch." Julie said to get everyone out of the trance they seemed to be in. Doug laughed and shook his head still smiling.
"Of course you are interesting to watch dear. Its not every day we get to see two people so obviously in love for so long and still showing affection, or is it with you two." Alice said and smiled at her granddaughter and an amused Doug.
"Well I think its absolutely wonderful! Its good to finally see a couple together that want to be together. Especially with everything you two have been through." Maggie said standing next to Alice.
"And I think its wonderful that I don't have to attend another one of Julie's weddings." Alice said, Julie rolled her eyes and everyone laughed except Bonnie. Bonnie was never told about most of Doug and Julie's past relationships together or apart.
"Why is that?" Bonnie asked wanting to know why Alice would say that and she was curious to some of Julie's past. Ever since Bonnie and Maggie began to be friends, she has wanted to start a friendship with Julie too, she didn't like the tension.
"Well she's been married 5 times. Her name including her maiden name and all her married names would be, Julie Olson Banning Anderson Williams Williams Williams." Alice said and laughed at how many wedding she went to for only one of her grandchildren.
"So I guess fifth time was the charm huh Jules." Bonnie said and smiled, trying to get on her good side.
"Yes and since when did this party become about me? This is Doug's birthday party so give him all this attention." Julie said not wanting to talk about her past at that moment.
"Oh come on. I haven't heard any really good stories about you in a while. I love hearing about your roller-coaster life." Shawn(D) said and smiled.
"Yeah! Its fun to hear about Salem's original troublemaker and its good to know I'm not the only one. You're kinda like my idol." Sami said and smiled bright at Julie. Alice sat down on the couch, smiled, and looked straight at Julie.
"Oh boy. I know that look. She's ready to tell some stories and it doesn't look like you're gonna be able to change the topic or stop her Julie." Mickey said and sat across from Alice. Everyone sat down and listened as Alice began to speak.
A few hours had past since everyone went home. Doug sat down on the couch and sighed. Julie smiled and sat down next to him. They sat there for a few minutes just thinking and enjoying being with each other.
"So did you have a good birthday darling?" Julie asked and put her arms around Doug and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Yes, it was perfect. Thank you so much. You and Maggie did a wonderful job, I was completely surprised. And the cake which was obviously made by Alice was delicious." Doug smiled and held her close.
"I'm glad you liked everything. Speaking of the cake, why did it take you so long to make a wish?" Julie asked somewhat confused to what his answer might be.
"I had to think about what to wish for since I already have so much. Do you want to know what I wished for?" Doug asked and smiled down at Julie.
"If you want to tell me, of course." Julie leaned in closer to Doug and closed her eyes.
"I wished that we will forever be together and no one not even the Dimera's will ever keep us apart again." Doug said and kissed her forehead. Julie smiled and looked up.
"That's always been my wish." Julie said and leaned back into Doug as they sat together and savored the moment.
