Here's another chapter it's called A Murdoch Family Heirloom! Enjoy!
…
(William's Office)
William is at his blackboard writing down an equation when there's a knock at the door.
(knock, knock, knock)
William turns around and sees that it's Julia. "Julia, what a pleasant surprise" he said with a smile.
"William, are you busy?"
"uh, no, do you need something?"
"oh no, I was wondering if you wanted some lunch" she says while placing a picnic basket on his work table.
"I would love to"
They empty the basket and enjoy a nice lunch and discuss William's latest case.
"So, William, what's with the equation?" Julia said looking at the blackboard
"oh it's for something I have been trying to make for the last month. But the speed and acceleration of the device is still too strong it could kill someone or something instantly."
"oh what is it you're making?'
"I don't really have a name for it yet, but it's sort of like a gun that shocks a person and stings their nerves, making the person unconscious for an hour."
"oh you should call it a sting or stung or nerve gun" she said with a smile
"maybe" William said with a smile
"William when do you move out of your boarding house?"
"tomorrow afternoon, I'll be staying with the inspector until the wedding."
"oh that's good. Do you have much packing because I could help you with that?"
"well not really. Even though I have lived there for the last 10 years. But I would love the company."
"great what time tomorrow?"
"I get off work at 2:00" William said
"perfect, I get off at 1:00" Julia said
They kiss and then pack up the basket. Julia kisses William goodbye and she leaves. William goes back to work on his equation.
William finishes off his equation and heads home. He arrives at his room at 7:00. He was still full still from his lunch with Julia, so he decides to have a shower and head to bed.
The next morning William wakes up and gets ready for work. He goes downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast. After breakfast he heads off to work.
He gets to the station and begins to fix the gun or what Julia called "stung gun." After he finished, he worked on some reports, when Brackenreid came in the office.
"Murdoch, what are you still doing here?"
"Sir?" William asked with confused look
"It's 2:30, Dr. Ogden just called and is waiting for you."
"oh Sir I lost track of time."
William grabs his hat and leaves.
Julia was waiting in the hall when she hears William coming.
"Julia, I am so sorry. God distracted at work."
"It's alright, William" she said with a smile
"So Julia shall we?" he said while unlocking his door.
"we shall"
They begin packing up his clothes, inventions and books in suitcases. Before they knew it they were finished with all the packing when they heard a knock on the door. They both turned around and saw a woman with a baby in her arms.
"Oh I'm sorry I was told this room was vacant?" she questioned nervously
"Oh it is I am just packing up." William said
"Ok good. My name is Martha and this little one is Beth"
"nice to meet you. I am Detective William Murdoch, and this is my fiancé Dr. Julia Ogden."
"nice to meet you."
"Well Julia let's get these suitcases out in the hall. Martha, do you need any help with your luggage? I saw you only brought only one suitcase."
"Oh no I have 2 more cases and a baby crib downstairs and I'll be alright. My brother is coming shortly to help me unpack."
"well good luck to you Martha and little Beth" said William
"thank you" said Martha
William and Julia got his cases out and downstairs when William thought he was forgetting something.
"Julia I need to go back to the room, I have a feeling I left something."
"no problem, I'll just get a cab."
"thank you" William said and headed back upstairs when Martha was in the hall holding a small brown box.
"Detective I believe these may or may not be yours? I found them behind the dresser." She said and handed William the box.
William opened the box and in it contained dangling pearl earrings. (the same ones Julia wore for their wedding)
"are these yours Detective?'
"yes they were my mother's. The only thing I have left of her."
"maybe you could give them to that lovely fiancé of yours."
"yes, thank you again Martha."
William heads back downstairs and sees the cab and Julia outside.
"William were you missing anything?"
"no just wanted to see the room I have lived in for the last 10 years one more time."
They got in the carriage and started to head to the Brackenreid's.
"Julia? Do you have any earrings for the wedding?"
"an odd question William, but no I don't. I'm still looking for some, why are you asking?"
"because I have some beautiful earrings right here" he said and opened the box
"William!" she said with a shock "there beautiful. Is this what you went back upstairs for?"
"yes, I had a feeling I left something and Martha found them behind the dresser."
"William where did you get these?"
"These earrings are a Murdoch Family Heirloom. Each bride entering into the Murdoch family has worn them on their wedding day."
"William did these belong to your mother?"
"yes…I thought I lost them, because I haven't seen them in 9 years and they were behind the dresser this whole time. So Julia Ogden will you do the honour of wearing these Murdoch pearl earrings for our wedding?"
"William Murdoch I would be honoured to wear these pearl earrings on our wedding.
They then kissed and before they knew it they were at the Brackenreid's
