They had not had their picnic. And that was not acceptable. He had had everything ready and electricity had ruined it all. It was the first time progress had annoyed William Murdoch. Now, on his way back home from church, he collected everything he needed and rang his wife's doorbell.

"William? Why are you ringing the bell?" Julia asked, surprised.

"Good morning my lady. I was wondering if you would be interested in having lunch in the park with a lonely yet charming gentleman."

"Charming uh? Pretty sure of yourself here William." Julia laughed. "But I am one for new adventures so why not? Let me just grab my hat and purse." she added. "You are very … restrained today detective." she continued as they walked arm in arm to the park which was not far from their house.

"Well, all restraint is needed since I just started courting you a few minutes ago." He laughed. "Oh and just so you know, I will walk you home after we had our lunch and you are going to invite me in for tea because there is no way I can go all afternoon without kissing you." William announced, making his wife laugh heartily.

"Well, lunch was absolutely lovely William. I think I hate too much." Julia declared as her husband put everything away in the basket.

"Does that mean that you will invite me in for tea?" William asked.

"Sure. You deserve it." Julia laughed, moving closer to him. "I think you might even deserve a kiss right now, as a thank you for all this hard work of preparing the food and finding us a lovely spot"

"If you think so Miss Ogden."

"I know so. And it's Mrs Murdoch." Julia answered, kissing him sweetly. "And now it's time for a little nap in the sun." she declared, laying down on the blancket.

"A nap does sound good," William said, putting the basket away. "Do you want to use my jacket as a pillow?"

"No, I want my regular pillow." she answered.

She laughed when she saw the confusion on his face. She pulled on his elbow, the one supporting, making him fall on his back. She made the most of his surprised and slid next to him, placing her head on his chest.

"I love my regular pillow." she sighed.

"Julia! People will see!" William objected.

"I don't care. I'm done hiding. And it's not as if we were making love here out in the open."

"Julia!" William exclaimed, blushing deeply.

"Come on, relax William. Make the most of the sun. Take a nap with me. There is noone around."

Lookng around, making sure noone was around, he took her in his arms, finally relaxing.

"I hate what your father has done to me. Why do I even hesitate to lay down next to my wife?"

"Don't think about my father. Think about me," Julia said, "and relax."

He did relax. He even fell asleep. Actually, he woke up because something was moving. And it was not Julia because she was pressed up against him, amost laying on top of him. He turned his head and saw a dog going through the picnic basket. Flopping his arm around, he tried to scare the dog away without waking Julia. She had been working long hours lately, she needed her sleep. His moves didn't have the desired effect though, it only attracted the dog to him.

"Come on, go away." He said, trying to stop the dog from climbing on him and Julia.

"William, what ..."

"I'm so sorry Ma'am, Sir. I got her a few days ago and she just ran off. I'll pay for any damages she … Sir? Dr Ogden?"

"George?" William exclaimed, completely shocked.

"You … you have a dog?" Julia asked, changing the subject as she sat up on the blanket, rearranging her dress.

"Yes. Edna gave it to me. It was the dog who was supposed to die in the experiment earlier this week."

"Oh yes." William said, sitting on the blanket and pushing the dog to George who put it on a leash.

"What … what are you doing here Sir? I thought you said you would spend the weekend working on your new invention."

"I did George … this morning. And then I invited Dr Ogden to have lunch with me."

"You two are together! I knew it!" George almost yelled.

"George!" Julia reprimanded.

"I'm sorry Doctor. It's just … I'm so happy! I didn't believe it when the Inspector told me but now I can totally see it on your faces!"

"The inspectors knows!" William chocked on his words.

"Yes. He told me he suspected something was going on between you two a couple of months back." he explained.

"A couple months?" William laughed.

"Yes. Why? Why is it so funny?" George asked as Julia started to laugh as well.

"George, we've been married for five years." she answered.

"Married? Five Years? But … why didn't you say anything?"

"Sit down George, it's a log story." William said, clearing one corener of the blanket for the constable.
