A long night
"Jules, Jules! We need to talk!" Sam ran after following her into her change room like he has many times before, he never did anything like he was about to do in here now.
"Yeah Sam, we do." Jules knew something was wrong; Sam usually made advances towards her but not today. She knew what he was going to say but that didn't stop her from looking at him with an exhausted expression hoping that he would get the message that she didn't want to talk till she had slept.
"I can't sneak around, we put our lives in each other hands and I'm not sure it I could follow the rules if you ever got hurt again." Sam was used to being the heartbreaker, then why did his heart hurt if he was breaking up with Jules? Sure he had broken up with girls before, but none of them were anything like the woman that stood in front of him in the change room right now.
"You're right Sam, this is for the best. See you around" Jules could feel her heart breaking but on the bright side she knew that she couldn't be forced to switch jobs. She and Sam were over; she shouldn't be feeling like this. But that didn't stop the feeling of running into a wall taking over her body.
Sam felt worse now than he had sneaking behind the teams back. The only way he knew how to get this feeling out of him was going to the gym. He beat the punching bag over and over and over.
"Why did I do that? I chose a job over her! I could've gotten another one!" Sam said out loud this was not working he couldn't get Jules out of his head, he was angry at himself for breaking it off, her for agreeing, and the team with their stupid rules.
Jules dealt with the break up a different way, she went to the store and bought her favourite ice cream along with all the crappy romance movies she could find. You could say that this was a typical girl response but Jules was not going to cry over this she was stronger than stupid Sam and the stupid break up. It was going to be a long night for both as they each tried to get each other out of their mind in their own way.
Fighting the feelings
It seems like Greg and Ed always pair me and Sam together thought Jules who was sitting in passenger seat on the truck that Sam was driving a call. Once they arrived back to HQ Ed announced that they would be brushing up their self defence.
"Spike and Wordy, Jules and Sam, me and the boss." Ed gave his instructions to the team, purposely pairing them according to their skill level to try and learn from each other.
Wordy was a good 20 pounds heavier than Spike, however Spike had speed that Wordy lacked. It pretty even fight for the most part, it wasn't until Wordy put Spike in a head lock that he was named the victor of the match. The men shook hands as Sam stepped up to the mat; he was going to go easy on Jules. After all she was a girls, he didn't want to hurt her.
"I grew up with four older brothers; don't even think about going easy on me. That is unless you want me to beat you when you're not even trying; I want a fair fight when I win." Jules stood up and walked over to where the fight would take place, they shook hand as Ed blew the whistle. Sam was now going to bring his A game for sure.
Sam was 6" taller and forty pound heavier than Jules, but with her size Jules could easily wiggle out of the positions Sam put her in trying to pin her. Jules was now on top of him, pinning his hips with hers, her small hands squeezing his wrist to the ground making sure he couldn't move. This was like before they broke up, minus the whole fighting each other and everybody watching.
"You giving up yet? Cause it looks like I'm winning." Jules asked Sam loud enough that he could hear but not the whole team who was consumed with the match seeing who would win. Ed was about to declare Jules the winner when Sam suddenly spun his body weight around, he was now on top of Jules.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Sam leaned in close to her, so close that if they were each just to tilt their head up they would be kissing.
Jules's heart rate sped up, not from the workout, but the memory of Sam kissing her. The tingle of his soft warm lips that welcomed her with great passion. Ed tapped the mat naming Sam he winner, Jules was snapped out of her fond memories. They shook hands and watched the fight between Ed and Sarge, Ed won but it was close. Sam couldn't take his eyes off Jules or get her out of his head; they'd touched each other in places that went untouched sine they had broken up. Working together was getting harder for him; his feeling would resurface at the most unwelcoming times. Jules was coming to the same realization as Sam, their feelings for each other had come back, oh who were they kidding, their feeling had never went away. How were they supposed to do their jobs if all they could think about was kissing each other? Jules longed to be in Sam's strong arms that protected her, her job was about to get a lot harder to manage. Sam was trying to get Jules off his mind, but how?
A Hard Call
"Team one hot call!" Winnie said into the PA system like she did almost every day. The team dropped what they were doing and suited up.
"Okay Winnie, tell me what we know." Greg said into his earpiece with the team gathered around him waiting for the correct information given to them.
"911 caller says that there is one shooter in the local high school portable, she has one hostage. She keeps saying she wants the truth." Winnie spoke as she silently hoped every member of that team would make it back in one piece.
"Thanks Winnie. Okay Jules you are going to do the talking, Spike I want eyes in there, Wordy work on a safe entry, Ed scorpio, and Sam you cover Jules. I'll go talk to the witness's.
The team broke off into their assigned jobs that the boss had given them. No one had a clue how hard this call would be one each and every member of this team. Ed ran to get the best position to have the solutions if subject made the wrong move. Spike got back in the truck and was granted access buy the school board to their security cameras. The picture that popped up on the screen will forever haunt him, a young girl was holding a gun to another young girls. They each only looked to be 16, how could they be so lost already.
3 hours later
Jules was in the classroom trying to get molly to lower the gun from Josie's head. Spike had recently found out that Josie was the high school popular girl and bullied Natalie who was Molly's friend. Natalie had killed herself a few days ago; Molly was the one that found her.
"Molly just lower the gun. Natalie wouldn't want you to do this; she would want you to make the right choice." Jules said to Molly like she had to countless of other subjects, but there was something about Molly that was different.
"You didn't know her! You have no idea what I fell! You have no clue what you're talking about. So no I won't lower the gun." Molly spoke as she rose to gun to face it at Jules.
"Sarge, Molly has turned a gun on Jules. I've got the shot should I take it?" Sam asked into his earpiece, even though he and Jules were over he still wanted to protect him with every ounce of his heart.
"No Sam, Jules can do this just give her a minute." Greg said as he watched to screen confident in Jules ability to connect with this girl without anyone getting hurt.
"Actually Molly I know exactly what you're going through. Trust me, I do. Because I used to be you, my best friend killed herself when she was your age. I know you feel like it's your fault; you should've noticed the signs sooner. But I promise you that it does get better, your life isn't over. You're still breathing, you're still here." Jules got teary eyed talking about her past, especially when Molly reminded her so much of herself.
"But your life has been a fairytale other than that, my life hasn't I only had Natalie and she took her away from me. Now I'm gonna make her pay for that." Molly yelled pointing the fun back to Josie who hadn't stopped crying since this whole thing has started.
"No Molly, my life isn't perfect. It never was, I lost my mom when I was little and my dad hasn't been the same since. A few years after that my best friend's mom got sick and died followed by her. Then I got my job here but in order to do that I lost the person I love and got my heart broken. No one has an easy life Molly, but there are moments that make all the bad ones go away. This is just a bad part, so please Molly just lower the gun." Jules held her hand out for Molly to place to gun in.
"Oh my...What have I done?" Molly gave the gun to Jules who handed it back to Sam, when their fingers touched it sent a shiver racing down both their bodies. Molly was now in hysterics; Jules took the girls in her arms and held her as she sobbed. Over all the call was a success and had the best ending one could hope for. During the de-brief Jules remained silent. This case had brought up feeling she thought she had put behind her a long time ago. It was all I the open now, her whole team had been listening for crying out loud!
The heart wants the heart wants
After they were finished Jules ran out of HQ with tears running down her cheeks, she prayed that no one had seen her. Jules was not the kind of girl that let people in, however someone from the team had seen here. Her luck ran out when she saw Sam of all people running after her. Sam knew something was wrong with Jules; she was only quiet when something or someone was bothering her. Sam sprinted after her; he didn't care if the team saw. Right now he was comforting a friend who he has feelings for but in this moment that didn't matter. He found Jules sitting against a wall crying, as he got closer to her he could hear her sobbing and see her shaking, it broke his heart to think of her in this much pain. Sam sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her small body just holding her. Jules leaned in and grabbed his shirt as she let the sobbed take their course through her.
"Jules what's wrong?" Sam asked when she had stopped crying and was now just pressed against him still holding his shirt in her hands. He stroked her hair trying to get her to calm down even more.
'That call, I thought I had all that stuff dealt with. I mean my mom, Carly my friend, and...us." Jules looked up at Sam bright blue eyes. In that moment something came over Sam, slowly he leaned in and pressed his lips to Jules who was just as willing to get back to what they did before they broke up.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that." Sam sighed into Jules neck. She was busy nipping at his near.
"Why didn't you? Sam I've never gotten over you." Jules pulled away looking at the ground scared of what Sam would have to say next. Scared he wouldn't feel the same way as she did.
"Jules, I never wanted to break up it was just that I was scared, would you give us I mean me another chance?" Jules kissed him this time. Sam joined in taking it as a yes to his question. He could feel her pulling away, Sam looked at her as she spoke.
"Sam we have to tell them this time." They shared another kiss before heading to Sam house to continue.
Telling the team
Spike has been Jules friend of many years so he could read her like an open book. So when she came into work with a guilty smile on her face he knew something was up. He tried to act surprised when she asked him to talk somewhere private.
"So um...I...me...I'm dating Sam! I mean I have dated him before too, but we broke up and then after that call with Molly we got back together and yeah, please don't get mad!" Jules was scared that when she started to date Sam again so would lose her team who were her family forever.
"Wow, I knew it, Ed owes me 20 bucks, seriously Jules though I'm happy for you. But I swear if he breaks your heart just tell me, I can get the guys to go beat him up for you." Spike reached out and pulled Jules into a tight hug, truly happy for his friend. She deserved to be happy.
"Don't worry, if he breaks my heart I'll have no trouble beating him up myself." Jules whispered into his ear as the pair of best friends cracked up.
Telling the boss was proving more difficult than they expected, Sam and Jules don't have been surprised if Greg already knew about them being together, he knew everything. Sam walked into his office first followed later by Jules; Greg had a clear idea what this meeting was going to be about.
"So you two finally got together huh?" Sarge smiled, he had to admit that they made a good couple. As they say, opposites attract.
"What?! How did you know? We haven't held hands or even hugged?" Sam said to his boss giving him a puzzled expression.
"It's the way you two look at each other, the love radiates off you like a light. Plus Jules, I can see the hickey he gave you." Greg said trying not to laugh; he knew they could do their jobs well as a couple. Jules looked at the ground and felt the heat rise to her cheeks.
It was true, Sam came over and thins had gotten...heated. Jules swore though that she covered up her lovers' mark he had left on her skin.
"Now that things are in the open, how are you two planning on telling everyone else?" Greg hoped that the team was going to be as expecting as he was, especially Eddy who was very protective.
"We have an idea." Sam and Jules exchanged a suspicious look.
Sam and Jules walked out hand in hand, they stopped by the front desk. Sam then took Jules in his arms and began to assault her with his lips.
Spike walked out to get a cup of coffee; he did not expect to see what he found.
"Oh my...!" For the first time in his life Spike was speechless as he saw Sam and Jules making out right in the middle of the SRU.
"Spike, what's taking you so..." Wordy dropped his phone to the ground and it shattered, finally he thought they're together. He was happy for them.
"What's everybody doing? Oh..." Ed was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his teammates kissing!
"What the hell are you two making out for?!" Ed yelled, not understanding that the Sarge had already given them the okay and was standing behind him laughing.
Sam was the one who broke the kiss to answer his teammate's questions.
"Isn't this what boyfriends do to their girlfriends, Ed? Boss just gave you the green light so I'm celebrating the only way I know how." He was about to kiss Jules again before he got interrupted.
"Finally! But please don't ever kiss in front of me again; I'm never going to be able to get that picture out of my head. I'll send my therapy bill." Spike said followed by laughs pats on the back and hugs.
Telling the team was easier than they had thought but now how were they suppose to date and be co-workers?
Moving day
1 year later
"Hey Sammo, today's the big day right?" Ed said, he had gotten used to the idea of Sam and Jules together. It helped that they seemed really happy with each other.
"Yep, today's the one year anniversary!" Sam was kind of nervous; he had something very important to ask Jules.
"So how long has it been since you two got together?" Wordy asked, he had been married the longest out of the whole team so he how Sam was feeling.
"A year ago today you guys caught us kissing. By the way, have you seen Jules? I gotta ask her something." Sam didn't wait for an answer once he saw Jules walk past.
"Jules wait, I gotta ask you something!" Sam caught up with her within a few minutes.
He got down on one knee, as he did this the whole team including Winnie gathered around to watch. Oh God, he's gonna ask to marry me! I'm not ready! Jules thoughts were going a mile a minute.
"Julianna Callaghan, will you do me the honour and move in with me?" Sam smiled and laughed as he saw her expression change from horror to shocked to happy in a matter of seconds.
"Yes! But I swear if you try to marry me anytime soon I will kick your ass out of Canada!" Jules leaped into his waiting arms as they twirled around to the whistles f the team.
That night Jules with the help of Sam packed up her whole apartment into boxes and brought them to his 2 bedroom house. After they were finished Sam pushed Jules closer to him not believing she actually had moved in with him.
"I love you." It was the first time he had said it to Jules but he has felt this way since their first kiss outside the Royal York.
"I love you too." Jules felt like she was walking on the moon. She was finally at home, she knew she belonged here.
Jumping for joy
Jules stared at the test she held in her hands that she has just taken, she couldn't believe it.
"Jules, what does it say? Are you okay? You've been there awhile." Sam asked her through the bathroom door. Jules walked out handing him the test trying not to show any expression to give the surprise away.
"Oh my God! We're having a baby! Jules I love you so much!" Sam kissed her belly and then her lips. He was going to be a dad! He could already see the miniature Jules with his eyes skating with him on the hockey rink already.
"I love you too." Jules kissed him giggling at his reaction. They were going to be parents! They had everything they had ever wanted.
"One thing though, if it's a girl I want the name Molly in there somewhere. And if it's a boy I think we should name it after your friend Matt." Jules loved him so much and these people were a big part of how they got to where they are now. They had everything they wanted, each other
