Jules' Choice

By the time Jules got back to her house, all she wanted to do was collapse onto her bed and start crying. Her phone ringing, however, prevented her from doing just that, and she hit the speaker button without looking at the caller ID.

"Jules' house of pain and suffering."

"Julianna?" Her father's voice said through the speaker. "Is everything okay?"

"Dad!" Jules shot up, "Uh, yeah everything's fine. I just thought you were my friend. Sorry," Jules quickly lied.

"I called to ask how you were." Her father told her, "Do you want to tell me what's wrong?"

"No Dad I—" Jules fought back a few tears as she tried to remember her mother who died when she was very young, "I think I'm okay."

"Julianna talk to me," Her father gently ordered.

"Dad, I really don't want to," Jules told him.

"Then talk to Kristen," Jonathan Callaghan told his daughter as he passed the phone to his daughter-law who had just walked into the room.

"Dad I—"

"Nope, sorry kiddo. It's me," Kristen told Jules as she walked out of the kitchen carrying the phone, "So what's up?" She asked as she sat on the stairs that led to the second story of the house.

"It's my boyfriend… He asked me to marry him." Jules told Kristen, who was ten years older than she was.

"Steve asked you to marry him?" Kristen all but squealed with excitement, "What did you say?"

"Not Steve. We, uh, broke up. Well, I broke up with him because I still had feelings for Sam. He offered to switch teams so we've been dating again for six months, and he just asked me to marry him. I don't know what to do, or if I really want to."

"Is this the same Sam who spent hours and hours with you when you were in the hospital?" Kristen asked.

"Yeah but—"

"The one who's madly in love with you and who would do anything for you?"

"Yes Kristen, that's the same Sam. What's your point?" Jules wanted to know.

"My point is that this guy seems to love you, and you seemed pretty happy when you were with him. I know you love your job, but if he was willing to switch teams for you I think you should marry him."

"It's not that simple Kristen. I mean, if he had waited a year then maybe I would have said yes, but he hasn't met my family yet and-"

"I'll probably get in trouble for telling you this Jewel, but Sam called here last week and spent close to three hours talking to Johnny and your father. He wanted your father's permission before he asked you."

"What did Dad think?" Jules asked.

"He was very, very impressed that Sam called him and I think the conversation went over very well."

"What about Johnny? What did he think?"

"Johnny was also very impressed; they got into an argument about hockey loyalties, but other than that everything seemed to go fine."

Jules laughed "Why I'm I not surprised that happened?"

"I don't know, but Johnny wasn't very happy about Sam's choice of teams."

"I can imagine Sam wasn't thrilled either,"

"Jules do you realize what we're doing?" Kristen asked her smiling.

"Talking?" Jules guessed.

"We're complaining about our husbands." She told her. "I know your face lit up when you talked about Sam. Sweetie, you love him."

"Kristen, I don't care if I love him because with marriage comes kids and I know this sounds selfish, but I don't want to put my job on hold to have babies, and I don't want to quit my job to raise them."

"You don't have to have kids," Kristen reminded her.

"But Sam wants them." Jules told her.

"Well then I'm sure he'd be happy to quit his job and be a stay at home Dad."

"I don't know… he might. But I just can't see myself as a mother. I don't even like babies that much." She admitted.

"I know Jules, but everybody has to make sacrifices for the people they love. I want you to think about that, and what your life would be like without Sam, because I have to go," Kristen told her.

"Okay bye," Jules told her as she pressed the receiver on the base of her phone and stared off into space. She knew she loved Sam, she knew that her heart melted whenever he touched her and kissed her, and she was miserable after she broke up with him for her job; often regretting that decision. But she was terrified of the idea of marriage. She did not like things that scared her, and marriage defiantly frightened her. However, she did not want to break Sam's heart again.

"I can't deal with this right now," she decided as she put her pillow over her head and drifted off to sleep.

Letting himself into Jules' townhouse, Sam figured that she wasn't home or she was sleeping, but in any case he needed to get his cell phone from her kitchen. He crept towards it so he wouldn't risk waking her up. Retrieving his cell phone and putting it safely in his pocket, he slowly made his way to the second level of her house and towards her bedroom. He knew that the idea of marriage scared her, so when he proposed he wasn't expecting an answer right away. But he also saw how troubled she looked right before he walked away and he wanted to make sure that he had not made her too upset.

He was slightly pleased that Jules seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and he crept into her bedroom only to gently tuck her in. Just as Sam was about to pick up the pillow that had dropped on the floor, Jules slowly opened her eyes.

"Sam?" She asked, slowly sitting up, "What are you doing here?"

"I forgot my phone in your kitchen. I tried calling, but I didn't get an answer, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't make you too stressed out. I'm sorry I woke you up," He apologized.

He began to turn and walk away but Jules gently grabbed his arm. "No Sammy, I know you probably deserve better than me, but if you still want, I'd love to marry you."

Sam immediately spun around, "Jules there is no woman in the world I'd rather spend the rest of my life with." Sam told her as he sat down on her bed and gently scooped her into his arms.

"I guess this means we're getting married," Jules smiled as she rested her head underneath Sam's chin, "I mean, if it's still okay with you."

"Jules, does this answer your question? Sam asked her as he slipped the engagement ring onto her ring finger and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Yeah it does," Jules told him contently as she turned into his side and smelled his t-shirt, drifting off into a very peaceful sleep.
