Chapter Fourteen: Epilogue

"Newbie, get up."

"I don't wanna."

"Fine. But, I think you should know that I didn't lock the door so if an intern comes in here you're the one who's gonna chase the around the hospital before catching them and threatening them not to speak of this."

JD groaned and pushed himself away from Perry's chest. He ran a hand through his hair and glared at the other man. "Why didn't you lock the door?"

Perry opened one eye and shrugged, as best as he could lying down. "I didn't intend to be in here for this long."

JD snorted as he pulled his scrubs top over his head. "Perry, I was taking a nap because I was on-call and you came in here and climbed in to bed beside me and took my clothes off!"

"Meh."

"Okay, you know what? You're right, you didn't intend to be here for long, because that was the shortest sex I've ever had." JD laughed as Perry threw a shoe at him. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" He ducked as Perry through his other shoe at him. "Thanks, I'll need these."

"You're evil," Perry said, relaxing back in to the bed again.

"You didn't say that last night," JD mumbled after making sure that there was nothing within Perry's reach that could be thrown at him. "Okay, I'm going to go get us some coffee, and then you have to go back on duty."

Perry raised an eyebrow. "You're telling me what to do?"

JD grinned. "I should think so-- you interrupted my naptime, so now I gotta drink more caffeine." He leaned down and kissed Perry. "I'll be back soon. Get dressed so you don't scare any interns."

"Gettin' kinda bossy there, Newbie."

"You love it," JD teased. He kissed Perry deeply for a moment and, smiling, then walked out the door.

It had been two months since JD was changed back to his original age, and two months since he and Perry had gotteninvolved. Life could not have been better for JD. Though Perry was insisting that they don't let on to the hospital that they were an item, and the only people who knew were Carla, Turk and Elliot, though JD was pretty sure the Janitor knew, too. Keeping their relationship a secret was kind of exciting too, sneaking kisses in the supply closets and the occasional make-out session in the on-call room. All in all, JD had never been happier.

He went in to the doctor's lounge to get himself and Perry some coffee, and he carried it to the on-call room. Perry, however was standing at the nurses' station, leaning over the counter and talking to Carla in hushed tones.

"... think it's okay?"

"Perry, relax, I think it's great," Carla replied. She looked up and saw JD approaching them. "Hey, Bambi!" she said quickly, and Perry stood a little bit straighter.

"Hey," JD said, sliding up beside Perry and placing the coffee in front of him. "What were you two talking about?" he asked, taking a sip of his coffee. "It sounded secretive."

"It was," Perry said. "We're not telling you."

"Aw, come on," JD whined. "I don't keep secrets from you!"

Perry gave him a look that said he wasn't going to break. "You'll thank me for not telling you," he mumbled. His pager began beeping and he cursed. "Damn," he said, looking at it. He grabbed his coffee cup and headed down the corridor towards the ICU.

JD turned back to Carla and pulled his best kicked-puppy expression. "Pleeease, tell me, Carla," he begged. "You know I can keep a secret!"

"I know, Bambi," Carla said, smiling at him. "But trust me, you'll be glad that we kept this a secret." She giggle when JD just pouted. "So, anything planned for your birthday tomorrow?"

JD shrugged. "Nah," he said, twisting the coffee cup in his hands. "Probably just hang out at the apartment and drink a few appletinis. I'm saving the big party for when I turn thirty," he said, grinning.

"I look forward to it," Carla said. "Here-- since you're on-call tonight do me a favour and check in on Elliot's patient, Mr Reaves. He's had a fever the past few days."

"Sure, no problem," JD said, taking the charts and heading over to the patient's room.

**

The next day, JD got off his shift around 5:30pm. It had been a long one, so he was glad that he was just going to go back home and crash on the couch with a drink for a while.

Well, that had been the plan. He had just set foot in the hospital car park when someone came up behind him and placed a blindfold over his eyes.

"Oh my god!" JD yelled, flailing his arms about. "I'm getting kidnapped! Help! Help!"

"Newbie! Relax, will ya?"

JD immediately stopped moving, and frowned. "Perry? What are you doing?"

"What does it look like, Newbie?" Perry said. He stood behind JD and placed his hands on the younger man's shoulders. "I'm taking you away."

JD smiled coyly. "So, you are kidnapping me?" he asked.

Perry chuckled. "Kinda," he said.

JD was a little unnerved that he couldn't see where he was going, but the feeling of Perry standing behind him, guiding him stopped him from freaking out too much. Perry led him over to his Porsche, and helped JD in to the passenger seat.

"You going to tell me where we're going?" JD asked, when he heard the driver's door open and close.

"Sorry, Newbie," Perry said, and JD could tell he was grinning. "You're gonna have to be in the dark for a little longer. You'll love it though, trust me."

"I always do," JD said. Perry's hand rested on his leg while he drove them. He took a round-about route to their destination, just in case JD was keeping track of what way they were going by the number of times the car turned. After an hour, Perry stopped and parked the car. He got out and went over to help JD exit the passenger seat.

JD could immediately tell that they were no longer inside the city. The air here was cleaner, with a hint of freshness that meant there was a lake or river nearby. When JD shifted his feet slightly he couldn't feel the tar of a pavement, but the soft grass of the outdoors. "Can I take this blindfold off yet?" JD asked, dying to see where he was.

"Not yet, Newbie," Perry said, taking JD's hands in his and leading him up a slight slope. "Careful, there's steps here."

JD lifted his feet and when he stepped up his foot fell upon wood. He walked up a total of five steps before Perry stopped him, and turned him around. The older man's hand went up to his head, and he began to gently untie the blindfold.

"Happy Birthday, JD," Perry said, lowering the blindfold from JD's eyes. He gasped.

They were standing on the sheltered porch of a beautiful little wooden cabin, which stood elevated on a gentle slope. The greenest grass that JD had ever seen was ground all around it, with a little dirt path in the middle which led in to the woods behind the cabin. In front of the cabin, maybe about a half hours drive away was a lake, surrounded by trees. Behind it were two mountains, where the sun was setting behind them, casting a gentle glow over the ground.

"Whoa..." JD breathed, taking in as much as he could of the scenery. "This is... I mean it's... where are we?"

"This is my cabin," Perry said, wrapping his arms around JD from behind. "I stay here when I go in to the mountains to do some fishing. I haven't been up here for a while, but I knew you'd appreciate it." He placed a kiss on JD's neck. "And it's just us, up here, for the weekend."

"The whole weekend?" JD asked, turning in Perry's arms so he could wraps his own arms around the older man's waist. "What about work?"

"Carla got our shifts covered for us," Perry said, smirking.

"Ahh, so this is what you were whispering about yesterday," JD said. He leaned up and pressed a kiss to Perry's lips. "Thank you. This is perfect." He smiled mischievously. "I didn't know you had a romantic streak in you," he teased lightly.

Perry smiled back. "You know me, Newbie," he said. He leaned down to whisper in JD's ear. "I'm full of surprises."

JD shivered and captured Perry's lips once more, tilting his head as Perry deepened the kiss. He wrapped his arms tighter around him, trying to get even closer. Perry pulled away after a moment. "Want to go inside?" he asked, raising his eyebrows suggestively.

JD grinned coyly. "Yeah," he mumbled. Perry kissed him once more, then took his hands and led him in to the cabin. JD took one more look at the scenery and then look lovingly at the back of the man in front of him.

Oh yeah, he thought, smiling softly. My life is great.

1. A big thank you to everyone who reviewed or added this story to their story alerts list (and also added me to their author alert! I'm flattered!). I couldn't have done this without your encouragement and kind words-- you basically kept me writing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Insert dramatic drum-roll here] 22 of you voted, and I can now reveal that the next story which you voted for... with a total of 50%... is... My Man Behind The Mask!! Hehe, YAY!! Half of you voted for the one that I really wanted to do! 27% voted for My Faith, and 22% voted for My Screw-Up (I only realised the other day that there was already a SCRUBS episode called My Screw-up.

Whoa, I thought I had more points than that, heh. Anyway-- I've really enjoyed writing this, and I'm really glad that you've enjoyed reading it! I might post up a few things between now and when I get My Man Behind The Mask going. I hope to see you there!
