"Come on J, we need to leave now if we're going to get to your dad's house in time." Said Steve, Juliana Callaghan's boyfriend.
"Coming Bud, I just gotta get my taser and then we can hit the road." She yelled from her closet.
Jules and Steve were going down to her dad's house in Alberta for two weeks. The first week it was just going to be them, her dad and her brothers, and then the second week Team One was coming down for a training session, and they are all going to stay in the same house. This was going to be interesting.
"May I ask why in the world you are bringing your taser?" Said Steve as he crept up behind her and grabbed her, causing her to giggle.
"Cause you never know what kind of nut bars we will be meeting on a 32 hour drive, and besides, we are going to need something to wake us up when we're driving."
"That's what coffee is for. Now come on, we need to get going." The two of them threw their luggage in the trunk of Jules' jeep, and went straight to Timmy's, got their regulars, and started for Alberta.
"I need to ask you something." Steve said, taking his eyes off the road for a second, to look at his tiny little girlfriend.
"Um, okay." Jules wondered what it could be about; Steve never said that unless it was really important. But she relaxed as she saw a smile creep onto Steve's face.
"The other day, when I called you at the end of your shift,"
"Yeah." Jules said, now remembering that embarrassing conversation with her team.
"Ed answered your phone, and, well, please. Please! Never let him answer your phone again! He asked me if I was being responsible, and taking care of you. He said that if I ever tried anything, he and the rest of your team would kick my but! Unfortunately he was on speaker and all of my friends heard, and they are still cracking jokes about it!" Said Steve, still turning slightly red at the thought.
"You think it was embarrassing for you? My whole team was there and then they called me their little girl, and that they would make sure that I was safe. What does that even mean?" Jules tried to calm herself down, she hated it when her team thought of her as the "Little One".
"hahaha, don't worry about them J, They just want to protect you, they don't like the thought of losing one of their own. Especially their little one." Steve smiled as Jules lightly slapped him on his chest.
"Well, the LITTLE ONE is going to get some sleep, I'll drive when I wake up." And with that Jules rolled over in her chair, and let sleep find her.
