~Chapter 12~

~Spike's Pov~

It was a sunny day at work today. The annual family picnic is coming up. Juliet was home from the hospital. She was looking and feeling much better. Right now we were out on a call about a hospitalized firefighter being strangeled in his bed by the one who started the fire and was out on the run. That is until we got him. Then we found out there was another firebug and it was the first one's brother who worked in the fire house. Simon, the captain was not taking it very well. He even locked himself with the guy in their simulated firehouse training area and set it a blaze. The boss was dobting himself that he could talk him down. But he did after a while.

Afterwords we debreifed and I left early to visit Juliet. You see I wanted to talk to her about something very important. Now that we know where we stand in our relationship I wanted to ask her something.

I drove to her house and I took out my key to her place. She gave it to me last week. I used it to unlock the door and went inside.

Me: Juliet! Its ok its just me.

I then saw her come out of the kitchen smiling at me.

Juliet: Hey Spike.

I smiled and took her into my arms.

Me: Hey beautiful. How are you?

Juliet: Better. Just payed the bills and had a snack. Everything alright?

Me: Tough call.

Juliet: Was anyone hurt?

Me: Not us. But we lost a firefighter.

Juliet: Who?

Me: Gorden Park. Fire House 11.

Juliet: Gordy? No...

Me: You knew him?

Juliet: I did. He was a good guy. I babysit for him sometimes. Before I was in SRU I use to be part of his group. It was my job to make sure all of the gear and trucks were in tip top shape. Most people there thought it was nuts to hire a bind person to be their mechanic. But it worked out great. How did Simon take it?

Me: Not well. He actually pursued both of the people that did it.

She layed her head in my chest.

Me: Its going to be alright. He is in a better place. So how was your day?

Juliet: Fine now that you are here. So when are you going to start moving in?

Me: In a few weeks.

Juliet: Alright. Why not we... take this conversation upstairs.

I loved that look in her eye. It was time.

I took her hand and went upstairs with her to talk.

~Julietta's Pov~

Last night's chat went well. Spike and I managed to arrange everything together. Right now we were at the family picnic with everyone else having a good time. Right now I was holding Isabell for Jules. She was a clinger that's for sure. I'm pretty sure Jules wants to be a mom. I can feel it. I also want to become one but I'm not sure Spike wants one.

All of a sudden I heard clapping. I went to go see what's up.

Greg: As if you don't notice these two have been cleared by the cheif to stay on Team 1. Dispite on what they want to do in there on free time.

I smiled.

Sam: Thank you.

Then Greg made some small speaches for everyone. Then he touched my shoulder.

Greg: Juliet. You have taught me not to only "see" things with just your eyes but from your heart. You make the impossible happen. You make the team light up by just being yourself. You push youself to be the best you can be. That is far more than what I ask of you. You and Jules both are like the daughter I never had. So I thank you. And Spike you better take care of our Shakesphere Princess you hear me?

Spike: Done and done.

Greg: Good. Now Ed can you take care of these papers?

Ed: With pleasure.

I heard the sound of paper ripping and I smiled. I gave Greg a one armed hug. I looked for Ed. Eventually I caught up with him and gave him back his daughter. As soon as that happened I was grabbed and pulled into someone's arms. I then felt familiar lips on my neck. It tickled so I giggled.

Me: Spike let go.

Spike: Why? Then I would have to share you.

Me: You had me all to yourself all night long last night.

Then Jules and Sam's scent began to grow closer to us.

Jules: What do you mean by that...

I blushed.

Me: Oh nothing.

Sam: Nothing my foot. You two finally went there didn't you?

I looked down blushing and I heard him laugh.

Raf: Well finally! I thought he would never stop daydreaming about it.

Spike: Calm down. There are kids and babies here.

Ed: Well congrats you two.

Later on we ate and had fun with the kids. When it got late Spike and I left and went home.
