Johnny and Roy brought a patient in while Julianna was in with the fracture patient. Sally stood with her back to the nurses station, filling out a supply sheet.
Ellen came out of a room and headed straight for Johnny.
"Just couldn't stay away, could you," she said, grabbing Johnny and kissing him.
"What the... Ellen! Stop this," Johnny said.
Julianna heard her husband raising his voice as she opened the door and immediately went out into the hall.
"Miss Taylor. What are you doing? That is totally inappropriate behavior and I will not tolerate it while you're working with me," Julianna said.
"I was just getting reacquainted with my former boyfriend. We were just making plans for this weekend," Ellen said.
Julianna looked at her husband and he immediately said, "I'm married, Ellen," he said, showing his wedding band.
Ellen looked at the ring. "This some kind of a joke? You actually got married? I'm not believing this. Just who is Mrs. John Gage," Ellen asked.
Johnny grabbed his wife's hand. "This is my wife Ellen. Dr. Julianna Gage."
"You married John," Ellen said, disbelief in her eyes.
"Yes, I did," Julianna said showing her engagement ring and wedding ring. "Now, I think Dr. Early needs you in room 2."
Ellen, unable to say anything because of the shock, merely nodded and headed to room 2.
Julianna looked at Johnny. He was about to speak, but she held up her hand. "You don't have to explain. At least not now," she said.
"You sure," he asked.
"Yeah. I'll see you at home," Julianna said.
Johnny and Roy took their supplies and headed out to the Squad.
Roy looked at his friend. "That was...interesting," Roy said.
"That was embarrassing. What in the world happened in there," Johnny asked.
"I think Ellen still carries a torch for you and I don't think she took the news of your marriage too well," Roy said as they headed back to the Station.
"I just hope Juli's OK. I don't want Ellen to do anything to upset her," Johnny said.
"Now that she knows you're married, I'm sure she'll leave it alone," Roy said.
"God, I hope so," Johnny said.
Julianna went back to her office to do some charting. Sally knocked on the door a little later and brought Julianna some juice.
"Thought you might like something. You've been in here for a while," Sally said.
Julianna took the juice and thanked her.
"I have some things to do for Kel regarding the paramedic program. He wants me to start teaching the paramedic program for him next semester," she said.
"That's great," Sally said.
"The only problem is when the paramedics are due for re-certification. When Roy and Johnny come due, I won't be able to have anything to do with their testing," Julianna said.
"Well, you can work around that. But you're not fooling me. You're hiding from Ellen," Sally said, taking a drink of the juice she brought for herself.
"I am not hiding out from Ellen. I just don't want her to feel embarrassed by that little spectacle earlier," Julianna said.
"Well, let me tell you something, Juli. Ellen doesn't get embarrassed. At least not easily. And finding out that Johnny's married, to you of all people, isn't going to change her mind. I think she came back to Rampart to get back with an old boyfriend. I didn't know it was John that she had dated, but it makes sense," Sally said.
"How do you figure," she asked.
"Because he happens to be a very attractive. He's very easy on the eyes, Juli," Sally said.
Julianna laughed at her friend. "Thanks for noticing. I happen to think he's pretty good looking," Julianna said. Julianna got out of her chair and she and Sally exited her office and went back to work. Julianna had a few hours left on her shift and she spent them treating minor cases that came into the hospital.
She signed out to another doctor at 6 that evening. She called the Station and Mike told her Johnny was out on a call.
"I'm going to stop by for a few minutes. If nothing else, I can see you, bro," she said.
"Great! I'm making chicken tonight," he said.
"I'm definitely staying for dinner then. I love your chicken," she said.
She hung up the phone and headed out to her car.
