They awoke the next morning, feeling totally euphoric and excited about leaving for Hawaii.
They were served a champagne breakfast and then they changed into their clothes for their flight.
Julianna stood on the balcony, looking at the bustling city below her. Johnny came out and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What are you thinking about," he asked, kissing her cheek.
"I just can't believe this happened. It's so amazing," she said.
"I can't believe it either, but it happened. We've got the rest of our lives together," Johnny said.
They shared a kiss and they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"That must be our ride," Johnny said, kissing her again before opening the door. He pointed to the suitcases and the bellboy loaded them on the cart.
"Ready, Jules," he asked.
She took his hand and they headed off on their honeymoon.
Two weeks later, Julianna and Johnny returned from their honeymoon. They had the time of their lives and were anxious to get started on their lives together.
They arrived at their home and found their furniture had been delivered and her parents had stocked their fridge.
They unpacked and spent their first day in their house just relaxing and unwinding from their trip.
Julianna sorted through the stack of mail that was waiting for them on the kitchen counter.
She opened a letter from the California State Board of Medicine. It included a form and instructions for changing her name on her license.
"What's that," Johnny asked, wrapping his arms around her as he peered over her shoulder.
"The paperwork to change my name with the board of medicine. I need to send a copy of the marriage license and send it in, along with this form to tell them what I want my license to say. Then they'll issue a new one and that will be official. I still have to go to the DMV and change my name on my driver's license. I didn't realize all the stuff I'd have to change," she said.
"You don't have to change your name if you don't want to," Johnny said.
Julianna faced her husband. "What are you talking about? I'm your wife and I took your name. I'm all for women's lib and everything, but staying Julianna Stoker when I'm married to Johnny Gage just isn't right. I WANT to be Julianna Gage on everything. Unless you don't want that," she said.
"Nothing would make me happier, but you don't have to be Julianna Gage professionally if it's going to cause a problem," he said.
"Nope. I'm going to fill this out and I'll get a copy of the license on the way to work tomorrow. I should have time," Julianna said.
Julianna sat the paper down on the counter and wrapped her arms around her husband's neck. She kissed him and their conversation was quickly forgotten as she pulled him upstairs.
They came down for dinner. "My mom put a ham and cheese and potato casserole in the fridge. I can make that. Only takes an hour," Julianna said.
"That sounds good. I'm going to call Roy and let him know we're home," Johnny said.
"OK. I'm going to start laundry while you're doing that, then," Julianna said.
She preheated the oven and put the casserole in before gathering the laundry basket and heading into the laundry room.
Johnny went into the den and picked up the phone to call Roy.
"Hello," Joanne said.
"Hey, Jo. How are you," Johnny said.
"We're doing great! You and Juli have a wonderful time," Joanne asked.
"It was amazing. I was just checking in with Roy," Johnny said.
"Sure, Johnny. I'll get him," Joanne said.
"Hey, Partner! How's married life," Roy asked.
"Great. Just wanted to see if there was anything I needed to know before tomorrow's shift," he asked.
"No. Squad was getting serviced, last shift, so we should have it back in the morning," Roy said.
"OK. I'll see you tomorrow," Johnny said.
"I'll be there," Roy said.
Johnny hung up the phone and went to the laundry room to help Julianna.
She was sorting the mountain of clothes they had from their trip. She had placed her wedding dress on a hanger and it was hanging from the rod in the laundry room. "Need me to take that upstairs," he asked.
"I guess for now. I'll have to take it to the cleaners to get it put in a box so I can store it," Julianna said, putting the laundry in the washer.
Johnny took the dress upstairs to the attic and hung it in the cedar wardrobe.
Johnny returned downstairs and found Julianna setting the table for dinner. She poured them each a cup of coffee and they sat down at the table. Johnny sorted through his stack of mail and Julianna looked at the paper.
When the oven timer went off and Julianna took the casserole out of the oven. She dished up the food for her and Johnny and they ate and discussed their upcoming week.
Johnny offered to do the dishes and Julianna went to finish the laundry. She was folding his shirts and putting them in his duffel bag.
"What are you doing, hon," Johnny asked.
"Packing your bag for you. Since I'm folding the laundry it just makes sense. I put four of your shirts in here, so you can hang them up in your locker and have them," she said.
"What, you think I need more than one shirt for a shift," he asked.
Julianna looked at her husband. "Let's see, Chet's still running around as the phantom, you have a tendency for getting yourself either lowered into a post hole or a collapsed mine shaft and there are still those occasional fights with patients and family members, so yes you do need more than one shirt in your locker," she said.
Johnny gave her a mock look of hurt and leaned to steal a kiss from his wife.
He helped her finish folding the laundry and helped carry it upstairs.
Julianna collapsed on the bed. "I'm exhausted," she said.
Johnny sat down next to her. "I know the feeling. And we have to work tomorrow," he said.
"I'm going to change and get ready for bed," she said going to the dresser to take out her pajamas.
"I'm with you. I'll set the alarms," he said, setting the two alarm clocks. One on the nightstand by his side of the bed and the other on the dresser across the room.
Julianna emerged from bathroom wearing a lacy nightie. Johnny turned and stared at his wife.
"Wow, Jules! I'm suddenly not tired at all," he said, moving closer to her and taking her in his arms.
"Neither am I," she said, kissing him.
Julianna relieved Johnny of his shirt and he was soon taking the lacy item from her body. They fell onto the bed and spent the rest of the evening and night enjoying each other.
The next day both set off for their first shifts at work since they got married.
Julianna kissed Johnny goodbye as he headed off to his shift. "What time is your shift," he asked.
"I'm in at noon. Should get off around midnight," she said.
"Be careful. I love you," he said, kissing her.
"I love you, too. You be careful," she said.
He waved and headed toward his Rover.
Johnny parked and, with a bounce in his step, headed inside the Station.
"Hey, Gage! Welcome back. How was the honeymoon," Marco asked.
"Heaven," Johnny said, opening his locker.
Roy entered the locker room right after Johnny. "Well, at least she gets you here on time," Roy said, unbuttoning his shirt.
"This is the greatest thing in the world," Johnny said, pinning his badge to his shirt.
"Hey, Johnny! I guess you guys got back in one piece," Mike said, shaking his brother-in-laws hand.
"It was a wonderful trip. Now, we have to get back to reality. Juli's working a twelve today," he said, tying his shoes.
"I'm sure it was. You guys have plans for the weekend," Mike asked.
"Not that I know of. I think Juli has to work from 7 until 3 Saturday, though," Johnny said.
"Well, I'll get Barb to call her. We're thinking of having
a little cook out Saturday. I'm inviting the whole Station," Mike said.
"Well, we'll be there, unless Julianna has plans," Johnny said.
The men filed out of the locker room for roll call and their assignments for the shift. Johnny was supposed to cook, so he hoped he and Roy had a free minute to head to the store. He wished he'd asked Julianna to make something, but since they'd just gotten back from their Honeymoon, he hadn't wanted to ask her.
They were toned out for two calls before they were able to head back to the station. Johnny was going to finish the log and then they were heading to the store.
Johnny had just finished when he thought he saw Julianna walking into the building.
Julianna watched him pull out of the driveway and headed upstairs to get ready for her shift. She hoped she'd have a chance to prepare a lasagna for the Station to have for dinner. She jumped in the shower.
She exited and changed into a jumper with a yellow shirt and her black Mary James.
She had enough time to prepare the lasagna and headed into the city. She pulled into the Station parking lot and was surprised to see the Squad and Engine still in the bay.
Johnny came out of Cap's office and seemed surprised to see her there.
"Jules, what are you doing here? Not that I'm not glad you're here," Johnny said.
"I brought you lasagna for dinner," she said, holding up the pan.
"You're a lifesaver, Jules," he said, kissing her.
They went into the day room and Julianna was greeted warmly by all the men on the shift. Mike rushed over to his sister and gave her a hug.
"What are you doing here," Mike asked.
"Brought dinner," she said, pointing to the pan Johnny was putting in the fridge.
The tones went off and the men rushed out of the room.
Johnny gave Julianna a quick kiss. "Love you," he said, rushing out the door.
Julianna watched the Squad and Engine leave the Station and she headed back out to her car. She got in and headed toward the hospital.
She dropped her stuff off in her office and went out to see Kel and Joe and see if she could help.
"Morning, gentlemen," Julianna said.
"Well, if it isn't the new Dr. Gage. How are you," Kel asked.
"I can't complain. What can I do," she asked.
Joe handed her a chart. "You can deal with this guy," Joe said.
Julianna smiled. "No problem. Consider it done," she said.
She headed off to see her patient.
At midnight, Julianna was ready to call it a day. She'd seen Roy and Johnny six times when they brought in a patient. She'd also known they'd been sent out on three calls that had been canceled or didn't need transporting. She knew Johnny was going to be just as tired as she was, but he couldn't crawl into bed at home. He was stuck at the Station.
When he dropped his last patient off at 11, he'd said good night to Julianna and kissed her before heading off to the Station.
Julianna gathered her stuff and headed to her car. She drove home and couldn't wait to get into her bed.
"What was it," Mike asked the paramedics.
"Some spaced out dame," Johnny said.
Johnny and Roy headed back to the Squad. Roy asked about the paperwork and Johnny told him where he thought he'd placed it. Johnny rounded the Squad when a car came out of the parking lot, straight at Johnny. Before anyone could react, the car hit Johnny, tossing him up on the hood, hitting the windshield before rolling to the ground.
Roy rushed to his partner. "Johnny! Johnny, can you hear me," he asked, panic lacing his words.
"Roy," Johnny croaked.
"Where do you hurt," Roy asked.
"My hip, my leg, my back," Johnny said. Cap held his head so he wouldn't move it and cause more damage.
Roy switched from concerned friend to paramedic. He contacted Rampart and got the orders needed to treat Johnny. The ambulance arrived and loaded him into the back, Roy climbing in after him.
They sped to Rampart. Roy hated the Julianna was going to get this news so soon after their marriage. When they pulled up to the hospital, they were met by Joe and Dixie.
"Johnny," Dixie said.
They put him on the stretcher in the exam room and Joe began an assessment.
Roy slipped out of the room. Cap and the rest of the Station A-shift was standing just outside. "I'm going to call Julianna. She should hear from me," Roy said.
He went to the nurses station and called Julianna.
