Chapter 10- The Wedding
"What the hell is wrong with you? Don't even start with me on defending my honor, I can defend myself and you know it. Did you even think about what would have happened if Mike wasn't here? That was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life" Jules yelled at him.
"I know. I know" Johnny started. "I'm sorry princess, but that asshole had that look on his face…I couldn't stand by and ignore the insult! I'm sorry but that's who I am and if you are going to marry me, you are going to have to deal with it. I already told you before, you and those kids, you are my life and I am going to protect you. He had that coming. He deserved it and you know it" he said.
She didn't know if it was the hormones, but she couldn't help it. She started crying, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. Johnny deepened the kiss, pushing his tongue to battle with hers as he pulled her into him, smiling when she moaned.
Mike shook his head and came over, hitting Johnny over the shoulder, "Look I get that you are in love and all, but that's still my sister" he warned.
Johnny pulled away laughing as he wrapped Jules into his chest. He was going to protect her and those kids no matter what. He was always going to be there for them.
"What can I say man, I guess I'm just infected with the fever" Johnny said.
Jules looked up at him concerned. "What are you talking about?" she reached up to check his temperature.
He smiled down at her, "the baby fever babe" he teased, smiling when he saw her smiling.
Mike laughed at them, "you are so corny" he groaned as they began to kiss again.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It was week after the baby shopping incident when Johnny walked into Juliana's apartment. He practically lived there now so she wasn't surprised to see him. He's gotten a little over protective since she found out she was pregnant.
He walked in to find her in the kitchen making breakfast. He walked in, dropped his bag off in the front room in the closet and crept into the kitchen.
He walked right up to her and wrapped his arm around Jules. "Hi babe" she greeted him with a kiss.
"Hi princess, how was your shift? You feeling okay?" he asked.
She smiled and caressed his cheek. "We are all good. Work was good. We had a couple trauma's come in, so I got to get my hands dirty, and you know how much I like that. How are you? Why are you so chipper?" she looked at him curious.
"Andy and I talked to the chief. He's going to put in call to the department chaplain for this week. Hopefully in two weeks, you will officially be my wife" he kissed her.
Juliana smiled and gave him a huge hug before walking over to the chief and hugging him, "thank you so much. I really appreciate all your help" she said before turning to her brother who was standing in the doorway of the kitchen, "all of your help" she said.
Andy walked in after him and wrapped his arm around his sister, "you know we are all your family here. We want you to be happy. Besides, Johnny knows that if he doesn't treat you like a queen, I am going to kick his ass" he added.
Jules smiled and leaned into her husband to be. She was really lucky to have such a great support system. She knew that people would be there for her and for their kids. She was happy that they were going to have a big family, it's what she always wanted.
2 weeks later…
Ever since Johnny and Andy spoke to the Chief about the wedding, the girls were helping Juliana get everything ready. They didn't want her to stress herself out because of the baby.
Stephanie and Sofia got the flowers, decorations, venue for the reception and fittings all set and ready to go.
They were currently getting ready to go to their cake tasting. To be honest, this was the part of the planning that Johnny was most looking forward to.
They both had a late night shift the night before and getting out of bed was a bit of challenge. Jules woke up first. She groaned as she looked at the clock and realized it was time for them to get up. They were meeting everyone at Laura's bakery to figure out the cake for the wedding.
She smiled at the look of her poor exhausted fiancé. He has been taking double and extra shifts to move them into a house, the babies, and the wedding. She was worried he was working himself thin.
She pulled up on her elbows and gave him a feather light kiss, causing him to groan and wrap her closer to him. She smiled and caressed his cheek and jaw as he started to wake up, "we're going to have to get up" she said.
He groaned and nuzzled into her, "do we have to?" he groaned, "I would rather stay in bed wrapped in you all day" he teased.
She smiled, "as nice as that would be, our entire family is waiting for us at your aunts bakery. They are expecting us" she said brushing her lips over his.
He groaned and stretched, "fine" he said dramatically as he pushed the covers back and sat up on the edge of the bed.
Jules just laughed at his over dramatization. "Come on, it won't be that bad. Now come on get up, we can't be late" she warned no sooner than the phone rang.
Johnny was closer to the nightstand, so he answered the phone. "Hello" he answered.
"Casey this is your wake-up call. Get off my sister and get your ass ready to meet us at the bakery" Andy was calling from his car.
Johnny couldn't help but laugh, "Hey babe, it's your brother" Johnny said to Jules before turning back to the phone, "you are such a pain in the ass you know that" he said to Andy, only causing the squad lieutenant to laugh.
"You know you like it. I'll see you at the bakery" Andy replied before hanging up.
Johnny laughed and hung up the phone. He got up and walked into the bathroom, wrapping his arms around Jules from behind, "that was your brother calling to make sure you were awake" he teased.
Jules laughed, "you mean to make sure you are awake" she replied.
Johnny bit at her neck, "be nice" he said before moving to get dressed.
Jules moved away to start getting ready. She changed into a sweater dress and some leggings with her black boots. She didn't feel like doing her hair, so she left it down.
Johnny was dressed in a black button up and some jeans. He walked into the bedroom to see Jules standing at the dresser putting on her jewelry and some make-up.
"You ready princess?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded, "yes I am ready. Let's go before they barge through this house looking for us" she said.
He grabbed their coats, her bag and led her out to the car. It didn't' take long to get to the bakery. Laura and Antonio wanted to contribute something to their nephew's wedding. They were really happy for them.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"The cakes look lovely Laura, thank you so much for this" Gabby told her sister-in-law. Laura had the whole counter and table spread out with different cakes and desserts.
"I just hope they like them. It's my first big event like this for family. I hope they like it" she replied.
Gabby smiled, "I am sure they will. Jules is so excited and Johnny is clueless about these things, so I am sure they will love it" she replied.
"I am sure they are going to be amazing" Antonio reassured his wife, coming up and wrapping his arms around her from behind, laying a kiss on her cheek.
"I hope so" Laura stated.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The kids arrived at the bakery together. They all walked in together to see their parents already there. The place was beautiful. There were flower arrangements on the center of the table, cake pieces on each place setting, refreshments…the whole place was gorgeous.
"Laura, this place looks beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this" Jules walked up and greeted her with a hug.
Laura laughed, "you are welcome honey, I am glad you like it. I hope you like the cakes" she said.
"I am sure we will" Juliana stated.
They all sat down to go over the details. Jules pulled out a sketch of the cake. She had an idea of what she wanted. It was simple, but it would be beautiful.
"Okay, so I was thinking of doing a 3-4 tier wedding cake with iced roses circling the cake. It's simple but elegant" Jules said handing Laura the sketch.
"Sure, that sounds good. Do you want the cake to be all white?" Gabby asked.
Jules nodded, "yeah I think so, then we can have the flowers be different colors. That way we have some color" she said.
Laura nodded, "I think that would look beautiful. I can stick to the wedding colors if you want" she suggested.
Jules smiled, "I think that would be great" she replied.
Laura smiled and started dishing out the first pieces of cake. "So this first one, this is vanilla caramel with French vanilla buttercream" she said.
They each took a bite of the pieces of cake. "It's lovely" Gabby said.
"Yeah this one is really good" Johnny said.
"Well hang in there, we have a lot more to go" Laura smiled at them.
They were each handed a different piece of cake. Antonio was given a chocolate fudge cake, Kelly a rose cake with raspberry buttercream, Matt a pineapple cake with coconut rum buttercream, Gabby a traditional strawberry, Andy an orange one, Mike a lemon one and Nick a traditional white cake. They wanted to try a variety for everyone.
The next one was a favorite among the majority of the group, "peach cake with passion fruit buttercream" Laura announced to everyone as they took a bite.
"This one is amazing" Jules stated.
"I like the spiced apple with the golden caramel buttercream" Johnny stated.
"Yeah that's good, but I got to agree with my sister, "the peach one is to die for" Stephanie said.
"All the fruit flavored ones were really nice but it's your decision princess" Kelly informed his daughter.
"Since it's going to be 4 tiered, why don't we do each tier a different flavor" she stated.
"Okay, why don't you pick out your favorite flavors and I'll make each tier a different flavor. That way everyone has their favorite and you can have some options" Laura said.
"Are you sure that's not too much?" Jules asked.
Antonio laughed, "Are you kidding? She's more excited about this than you two are about this whole thing" he said.
Laura smiled and hit her husband over the shoulder as the couple smiled and nodded, "thanks Laura. I think we are going to go with the apple spice for the bottom tier, the peach for the middle, traditional white and then the top being the pineapple" Jules said.
Laura smiled, "I think that is going to be beautiful, a tier for everyone" she stated.
Stephanie pulled out her notebook, "okay so we have the cake testing done" she put a check next to that on her list.
"What is that?" Nick asked.
"That is her wedding book. Don't even ask. I swear since she found out we were getting married, she's like a wedding nazi" Jules stated.
"Hello, I am just trying to help you so you don't stress" Stephanie defended herself.
"Well I appreciate it Steph, it helps us out a lot" Johnny said.
"Thank you BIL" she replied.
"What the hell? Who is BIL?" Andy asked his sister.
"That's what I call Johnny. Brother-In-Law" she explained.
Mike and Andy couldn't help but laugh at their sister, "you are so corny it's not even funny" they teased.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Things were really starting to come along for the wedding. Stephanie helped her sister pick out her dress and the bridesmaid dresses.
They were going to go with an elegant theme, since the weather was changing and it was getting cooler, Jules chose red and white as her colors. It was beautiful.
As they were getting closer to the wedding, Jules was starting to feel very pregnant. The hormones were starting to show face at the Casey-Severide household.
Jules and Johnny were sitting at the common table going over a couple house listings. She came over for lunch.
They pretty much had everything else set up. The only thing they had left was looking for a bigger house. They couldn't afford a mansion, but they wanted something they both liked.
"Hey, I have to go, we are getting slammed at the hospital and they need my help" she leaned over, kissed him before leaving. When Jules was out of sight, Josh came over.
"Hey Lieutenant, can I talk to you?" Josh asked.
Johnny looked up from the listings and nodded, "yeah sure, what's up?" he replied.
"Well, I know you are looking for a house and haven't been really lucky in finding anything and I just wanted to offer some help. My sister is a real estate agent and she would love to help" he said.
"Thanks Josh, but I couldn't do that to you or your sister" Johnny refused.
"It would be a gift for the wedding" Josh stated handing him sister's card.
Johnny took the card and nodded, "thank you" he replied shaking the young man's hand.
"You're welcome" Josh replied.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The only thing left to do before the wedding was talk to the chaplain. They were nervous. Both were raised Catholic, but neither was a regular church goer. In fact, the last time the Jules was in a church was when her mom died. They also didn't know how much the chaplain knew about their situation.
"Hello, I am so sorry to keep you waiting" the chaplain said walking in.
"That's okay, we appreciate you meeting with us on such short notice" Jules said.
"No problem at all. Chief Adam is a great friend. He spoke of highly of you. I just like to get to know a couple before I marry them. I'd like to get to know as individuals and if there are any personal touches you would like me to add to the ceremony" the chaplain explained how the meeting was going to work.
Jules smiled and squeezed Johnny's hand. She knew he was nervous. Johnny nodded, "sounds good chaplain" he said.
Chaplain Orlonsky nodded and sat in front of them. "So, why don't we start by you telling me about yourselves? Chief Adam said you've been in the department a long-time lieutenant" he started the conversation.
"Yeah, fifteen years. It's all I ever wanted to do, ever since I was a kid" Johnny replied.
Chaplain Orlonsky nodded, that was a start. "And how long have you been together?" he asked.
"All together, almost a year" Juliana relied on edge.
Johnny decided to get serious. "Look Chaplain, I don't know if you know, but we are expecting twins, does that mean anything to you? We love each other. We deserve to get married just as much as the next person. And well, I don't mean any disrespect but you know exactly who we are. Our dads are famous in the firefighting community. The Severide family is a legacy. We deserve a chance just as much as everyone else" Johnny blurted out.
Jules snapped at Johnny shocked. The chaplain looked between the couple and smirked. "Johnny" Jules scolded as she turned to the chaplain.
"I'm sorry chaplain" she apologized.
He shook his head and put his hand up to stop her, "it's alright. You are right lieutenant. I do know who you are and who your fiancé is. I know more about your fiancé than you do. I assume you were both raised catholic?" he asked.
They both nodded, "well, I assume you're aware of the church's official view on conceiving a child before the Sacrament of Marriage" he began, noticing their distressed faces, "but, times have changed…and although it would be my personal preference for a couple to wait...that's a rather unrealistic view these days. So to answer your question, lieutenant, I've married many, many couples who did things out of order. If you two want to get married, I'll gladly perform the ceremony" he stated.
Johnny stood up and shook his hand while Jules gave him a hug. They finally had the last piece of their puzzle.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jules was making breakfast when Johnny walked in after shift. "Hey baby" he called out.
Jules smiled, turned the stove on low and turned to kiss him. "Hi, how was your shift?" she asked.
He picked over shoulder and shrugged. "It was alright, how are you? How are my babies?" he asked rubbing her stomach.
She smiled, "I was sick all morning and they are starting to move around" she informed.
Johnny leant her against the counter, lifted her t-shirt and kissed her stomach, "hi kiddos, it's dad. Your mom has been telling me you've been giving her some trouble. I know you are excited and anxious to meet everyone, but you got to calm down in there and give your mom a break okay. Trust me, it's probably nicer in there anyway, so no rushing" he said as he kissed her little bump.
The babies moved after he warned them not too. Jules laughed, "they listen to you as much as they listen to me" she teased.
Johnny started laughed and stood up to kiss her. "You are very funny" he mumbled against her lips as he deepened the kiss, biting her bottom lip.
Jules smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and let their tongues tangle with each other, moaning at the pleasure.
Johnny groaned and slid his hands down to pull her up so she could rest on the counter. Johnny moved his lips down her jaw line and nuzzled her neck.
Jules smiled and pulled away, "Hey I have to go get some stuff done today" she sat back and smiled at his pout.
"Fine, what are you planning today?" he asked.
"I am going shopping with the girls" she replied.
He nodded, "okay, what kind of shopping?" he asked.
She smiled, "I don't know. I wasn't told any details" she said.
He smirked "oh yeah, am I going to reap the benefits of this shopping trip?" he asked.
She smiled, "I don't know but I would assume so" she teased.
He groaned and let his head fall into her shoulder. "You are such a tease. I swear to God, you are the biggest tease I know" he replied.
She smiled and laughed, "true, but I am your tease" she reassured.
He laughed, "smart ass" he shook his head at her as she started laying out their breakfast.
Around lunch, the girls were at her door. They had a plan and a mission and they weren't taking no for an answer.
They pretty much ambushed her and took her to the mall, stopping in front of one store in particular. Jules stood outside and shook her head, "No, guy's I am not doing this" she protested.
"Jules, you are not going on your honeymoon in those nasty t-shirts you wear. You need something spicy, something sexy" Stephanie said.
"Stephanie don't be ridiculous, I am going to be pregnant" she replied.
"You will have already given birth by the time you go on your honeymoon" she stated matter of factly.
"God, I can't believe you talked me into this" she sighed as she was pushed into the store.
The lady was super excited to help them. Stephanie pretty much took control of the situation. She put Jules into a fitting room and started picking out lingerie for her to try out.
It was the most fun she's had in a while, not that she would admit it. She didn't know if it was the hormones or what, but being pregnant was changing her and she was definitely feeling more insecure.
When she got home, Johnny and Nick were sitting on the couch, chips and salsa on the table, beers in hand, watching a football game on TV.
"Hey babe, how was shopping? Did you get anything I would like?" he asked, looking over the couch.
She walked over and leaned down to kiss him, "that's for me to know and you to find out" she teased wiggling the bags in front of him, watching his eyes blaze when he recognized the Victoria Secret bag.
"Oh yeah, what'd you get from there?" he asked, trying to peer into the bag.
She pulled the bag away, "no, no, you have to wait for the wedding. Besides, it would be highly inappropriate to show in front of your brother" she replied.
Nick laughed and took a chug of beer, "the amount of time I've walked in on you two when we were kids, I think I've seen all there is to see" he teased, laughing harder when Johnny hit him with a pillow.
"Okay, enough, you're going to spill all over my couch" Jules took the pillow from her fiancé. "Now, behave while I put these away and I'll make some dinner" she said.
When she was gone, Nick watched his brother watching Jules. He knew that his brother loved her. It was about time he got his act together. Johnny turned to his brother and found him looking at him with a weird face.
"What?" Johnny asked.
"I am just glad that you got your act together and finally told Jules you loved her. You guys are lucky man. You are going to real happy together. You are going to be great parents too, I can tell" Nick said.
Johnny smiled, "thanks but I am terrified man. I mean I am going to be a dad" Johnny smiled.
Nick squeezed his brother's shoulder, "you are going to be great, you both are" he reassured.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It was the morning of the wedding and Johnny was supposed to be Andy and Mike's but he snuck into the apartment and into Jules room.
She was in her bathroom doing her morning ritual when he snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
She smiled, "you are risking your life being here with our sisters right down the hall you know that" she teased.
He smiled and laughed as he nuzzled her jaw, "you are worth the risk" he replied.
Jules smiled and turned to nuzzle his neck and lay butterfly kisses up his neck to his pulse point. Johnny closed his eyes and groaned at the sensation.
He dug his fingers through her hair and kept her close. She sucked at his pulse point until Johnny finally had enough. He reached down to lift her onto the counter.
Jules wrapped her arms around his neck and meshed their lips together. Johnny groaned and thrust his tongue in her mouth, battling his against hers.
Jules snaked her hands down and tugged on his shirt to release it from his pants and up his back, using her nails all the way. Johnny groaned and reclaimed her lips.
Johnny pulled away and began to trail kisses down her jawline and to the curve of her neck. He settled there, nipping, licking and sucking at the skin of her neck.
His hands slid off her shorts, lifting her hips to pull it down her legs. "I promise that if you are quiet, I'll finish what I started" he teased.
She hit him over the shoulder, "don't tease, it's not nice" she replied.
He smiled as she reached down to unbuckle his pants and slide them down his legs. Johnny shifted her so she was at the edge of the counter as he thrust into her, causing her to moan and throw her head back against the cabinets.
He was already turned on. In fact, he was so hard it hurt. He thrust into her groaning as he gripped her hips to set the rhythm.
Juliana let her forehead drop into his neck and nuzzled there, "Move Johnny" she moaned. She needed it.
Johnny didn't need to be told twice. He pulled out of her almost all the way before slowly pushing back into her. The pace didn't stay slow for very long. They both didn't realize how bad they needed each other.
Juliana couldn't take the slowness anymore, she positioned her hips so she could grind against his. "Someone's eager" he teased.
She glared at him through lidded eyes, "shut up" she moaned as he thrust into her. They moved together in one fluid motion.
Jules moaned and groaned in his ear. She couldn't help it. The hormones only intensified everything. "Johnny please" she urged him on.
He felt her inner walls start to grip him, squeezing him tight. "Damn baby, you're tight" he reached down and trailed his fingers through her slit to her clit, pressing the nub. Johnny knew what was coming and was prepared when she started to scream. He pasted his mouth against hers, muffling her scream as she flew over the edge, taking him with her.
Johnny dropped his head into her neck and he panted, trying to catch his breath. She smiled and raked her fingers through his hair.
"That was a wonderful pre-wedding gift lieutenant" she teased as she cupped his face and kissed him sloppily.
"You're telling me, damn, I am never going to get tired of doing that with you" he said.
She smiled and gave him another kiss before pulling away, "you better get out of here before my sister kills you" she teased as he helped her off the counter.
He cleaned himself up, put his clothes back on and quietly crept downstairs and to the door. Jules stood at the doorway, to see him out.
"I love you princess, I'll see you at the end of the aisle" he said against her lips.
Juliana smiled and leaned up on her tip toes to wrap her arms around his neck, kissing him one last time, "I'll see you there lieutenant" she said resting her forehead against his.
He smiled, kissing her one more time before leaving. Jules stayed against the doorway until he was out of sight.
She turned into her apartment and quietly shut the door, turning to find her sister sitting on the couch already awake and staring at her with a smirk.
"Have a good wake up call?" she teased.
Jules couldn't help but laugh and joined her sister on the couch. "Yes I did, thank you" she replied nonchalantly.
Stephanie laughed and wrapped her arm around her sister, "you know I don't know we don't talk about it much, but I just wanted to tell you that mom would be really proud of you Jules" she said.
Juliana looked at her sister surprised, "I hope so. I hope mom is looking down at us and she's happy with what she sees with all of us. I know that's why Andy and Mike are so protective over us. I hope she's happy with seeing us all today" she replied.
Stephanie smiled and nodded, "I know she is. She would be really happy that you are marrying the love of your life and that she is getting some grandbabies. I know she is going to be watching over us today. She's going to be with us today for sure" Stephanie reassured her sister.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jules and the girls were upstairs in Johnny's office getting ready. Stephanie carefully zipped up the beautiful white lacey gown for her sister.
"You are all set Jules, how are you feeling?" she asked her sister.
Jules let out a nervous breath, "nervous" she replied.
"Well you look beautiful" Sofia stated.
Jules smiled, "thanks guys, I can't believe today is the day I am going to get married" she said.
"Okay well I know things are a little backward but we wanted to keep some tradition, so we got you something" Stephanie started smiling at Sofia. They planned this before hand.
"What did you guys do?" Jules asked.
"This is from me and mom, something old" Stephanie said handing her sister a velvet jewelry case.
Juliana opened the case to see a string of pearls. Tears immediately formed in her eyes as she looked up at her sister, "mom wore these on her wedding day. She gave them to dad when she got sick to give to you when you got married. Dad gave them to me yesterday. Mom wanted to be with you today and now she is" Stephanie explained as she helped her sister put the pearls on, wiping her tears.
"Something borrowed" Sofia handed her another velvet case.
Jules opened it to see a bracelet with rhinestones all around it, a heart in the middle. "My mom gave that to me on my 16th birthday. It's been passed down from generation to generation to all the Dawson women" Sofia explained.
Jules wiped her tears and wrapped them each in a hug, "thank you so much" she thanked them from the bottom of her heart.
The something blue she already had on. That was a gift for Johnny.
Kelly was nervous as he knocked on the office door. He was nervous for his daughter. He wanted her to be happy.
Stephanie opened the door and smiled at her dad, fixing his tie. "Looking sharp dad" she teased as he came into the office.
His breath caught when he saw his daughter, "you look beautiful princess" he leaned over and kissed her head.
"Thanks dad, how's it looking out there?" she asked.
"Everyone is really excited and happy for you. Are you ready for this princess?" he asked.
She let out a deep breath, "I am ready, let's do this" she said taking her dad's hand as he led her out.
They stood at the back of the firehouse, waiting for their cue. Stephanie turned and kissed her sister's cheek, pulling her veil over her head, "we are all here for you. Dad, Andy, Mike, me, and mom. We love you and we want you to be happy. Be happy okay" she whispered in her sister's ear before kissing her cheek before taking her turn and walking down the aisle.
She stopped before Johnny and kissed his cheek, "you better treat her right" she said before taking her place on the altar.
Everyone stood as Kelly and Jules came into view. "Ready?" he asked. She smiled up at her dad, "I'm ready dad, don't worry so much" she kissed his cheek as he started down the aisle.
He walked her right up to Johnny and stopped, not ready to let her go. "Who gives this woman to this man?" Chaplain Orlonsky asked.
Kelly smiled, "I do" he lifted her veil and kissed her cheek before clapping Johnny on the shoulder and taking his seat in the front row.
Johnny laced his fingers through hers and held her hand as the ceremony began. "We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this man and this woman together in the bonds of holy matrimony" Chaplain Orlonsky started.
Johnny was so nervous as he could barely hear what the chaplain was saying. He couldn't believe that he was actually getting married.
"I Johnathon Alexander, take you Juliana Elizabeth, to be the love of my life forever" he kissed her knuckles.
They exchanged vows and promised to be there for each other forever. The whole ceremony was beautiful.
"Lieutenant, you may kiss the bride" Chaplain said with a smile.
Everyone jumped up and cheered. Johnny cupped her face and met their lips, biting her lower lip, thrusting his tongue in her mouth with a smile as she moaned, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Andy clapped Johnny on the back, breaking them apart. "Okay, she has two babies growing inside her, she needs air" he teased.
Everyone laughed as the couple made their way down the aisle, everyone throwing rice and blowing bubbles.
They all met in the common room, which was decorated with roses, balloons, and wedding decorations everywhere. It was beautiful. The guys from the firehouse did a great job.
"So, Jules, you are stuck with Casey for good. How do you feel?" Andy asked his sister.
Jules smiled up at him, "lucky" she replied.
The whole reception was going beautifully. Everyone was having a great time. The guys from the firehouse, the hospital, their friends, family, everyone was there to support them.
Connor walked over and smiled at Jules, kissing her cheek, giving her a hug, "Congratulations" he said.
She smiled, "thank you. Thank you for everything Connor. I don't know if I would have made it through all this without you. You have been a great friend to me. You were there for me when I needed someone to lean on and I can't thank you enough for that" she said.
He smiled and pulled her into a hug, "you don't have to thank me Jules. We were there for each other. You helped me more than you will ever know. I am always going to be there for you. I am always going to be your friend. You aren't getting rid of me that easy" he teased as he pulled away, kissing her cheek.
Johnny came over and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "Dr. Rhodes, thanks for coming" Johnny tried to be cordial for his wife's sake.
Connor smiled, "I would not have missed it for the world," he started before saying, "she's been through hell and back to be with you. She deserves the world at her feet. Don't screw it up" he said before leaving to see someone else.
Jules smiled turning to Johnny, "thank you for being nice" she said. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her, "I only tolerate him for you, you know that right" he teased.
She smiled and reached up to kiss him, "I know" she replied.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It was towards the end of the reception when she noticed her dad standing at the entrance to the garage, looking around the party, like he was staring into space.
She picked up her dress and walked over, hugging him from the side. "Dad" she greeted. He smiled down at her and wrapped her into him in a hug.
"Hi sweetheart, you okay?" he asked.
She smiled, "of course. Dad are you okay? You seemed a little out of it" she said.
He smiled and waved her off, "I am alright honey. I am glad that you are happy. I want what's best for you and I know that Johnny is that for you. I just want you to be happy and get everything you deserve" he replied.
Jules smiled, "dad who are you trying to fool? I know you" she knew there was something more going on.
"I am just thinking about how happy your mom would be if she were here today to see you and your siblings. She would be very happy to know that you are in love and having your babies. I know she is smiling down at us today. She would want you to be happy Jules. She is always going to be with you and watching over you" he said.
She smiled, "you know that she would want you to be happy too dad. I know that she would be proud of how we grew up and the people we are today. I also know that we are who we are because of the way that you raised us. I wouldn't have all the success I do without your love and support. I would have loved to have my mom growing up, but I am pretty damn lucky to have you, Andy, Mike and Steph in my corner. You are the best family a girl could ask for" she said.
Kelly wiped her tears and wrapped her in his chest for a hug, "I love you too princess" he kissed the top of her head, happy that she was getting everything she deserved out of life.
