…..
(Julia's House)
Julia is at her desk in her living room, looking over the wedding plans. When there's a knock at the door.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"I'll get the door Doctor" said Eloise
"thank you, Eloise"
Eloise goes and opens the door, and looks to see William.
"ahh, Detective, welcome"
"thank you, Eloise, I came to see Julia"
"of course, come on in "
William comes in and removes his hat.
"she's in the living room, looking over the wedding plans"
"thank you"
William goes into the living room and sees Julia
"Julia"
Julia looks up from her desk.
"William…hi …um I was just going over the seating arrangements and making sure everyone gets food"
William laughs
"I see. Do you want to take a break and go for a walk?"
"I love to William, let me just get my coat"
Julia gets her coat and informs Eloise she was leaving.
William and Julia walk arm in arm through the park.
"what a beautiful afternoon"
"yes it is Julia"
"so William, what's on your mind?"
"how did you know Julia?"
"William I have known you for 8 years now. You rub your forehead when you're frustrated, anxious or nervous. So tell me what is troubling you?"
"Julia, after the wedding, where do you want to live?"
"oh that is what is troubling you?"
"yes and also us having a family?"
"William are you wondering if I want us to live at my house and if I still want children?"
William nodded
"well William, I talked to my broker and I'm selling my house. Also for the children, yes I would still love to have children, despite um…my past. I would still love to adopt a child or children."
"really, Julia? You want more than one child?" William asked with a smile
"yes 2 children" Julia said while smiling back
"but why 2 children…not that I am complaining. I would love to have more than one child"
"so the child we adopt won't be alone and have a sibling and playmate."
"I agree. Also I didn't realize you were selling your house?"
"oh, I just decided yesterday. Plus Eloise got another job that is closer to her home."
"I see…thank goodness."
"why William were you so concerned?"
"as a wedding gift, the inspector, Mrs. Brackenreid, George and the rest of the station got us a hotel suite for us to live in for a short time."
"William…I already know…Margaret called yesterday morning and told me."
William laughed "of course she did"
"William I think it's a wonderful idea."
"you do? Oh good, I was worried you would want us to live in your house. But now your selling no problem.
Julia nodded and chuckled
"But William we need to pick a place to have our wedding night" she says while seductively stroking his tie
"I already have a place…it's where we are going to live. The Windsor Hotel."
"what?" Julia asks with a smile
"on our wedding night we'll spent the night in the bridal suite and then when we come back from our honeymoon, we'll live in the hotel suite that is on the 3rd floor."
"William that's so wonderful. I wish we could go see the suite's now."
"we can Julia. Today the hotel is letting us see the suite's today only."
"really well let's go."
They walk arm in arm to the hotel and asked the reception to see the rooms. The desk clerk hands William the keys and they head up to the honeymoon suite first. They get to the door and William unlocks it and opens it.
"William look at his room, it's huge"
"yes and in less than a week, we'll be enjoying our wedding night together." William said seductively while wrapping his arms around Julia's waist
"yes I can't wait to have my way with you William" she said while caressing his tie
"same here Julia"
"now let's go see the suite, we'll be living in"
They lock the door and head down to the 3rd floor. They reach the suite and unlocked the door. Julia enters first. "William…it's…it's perfect. Who is staying in here right now?"
"this room has never been used."
"really? The hotel has been open for 10 years now?" she asks
"oh this room was a storage room, before everyone bought it for us as a wedding gift."
"In a week it will be our home" Julia said with tears in her eyes
"yes it is" William says and leans in for a kiss
"William, these colors and patterns, I love them. I always wanted these in my house, but Darcy wouldn't allow the colors. He thought they were too modern and not high class enough."
"I see, well Julia, you can decorate the suite however you want"
"really William?"
He nodded
She hugged him and gave him a kiss
"thank you William. I never thought I could love you even more than I do right now."
William smiled "I just want to make you happy"
"and you have William" she says while giving him another kiss "But how did you know what pattern or colors I wanted?"
"well the other day after I found out about the suite, I called your house and asked Eloise if you ever wanted to decorate a house what colors and patterns would you want and she told me the magazine you have been looking at for some time and luckily you booked marked the pages. So I bought the magazine and gave the hotel decorators the magazine of all the patterns and colors you liked."
Julia began tearing up again and gave him another kiss "thank you William for such a great surprise"
"your welcome Julia. We should start heading back downstairs"
"yes I should get back home, Margaret wants to see me about the final arrangements of the wedding"
They head back downstairs and got outside and said their goodbye's.
