by: Rhandi
Brenda and Jax look at each other and says," We have to stop them before they kill each other." Julia and Jerry still shouting at each other,"What the hell are you doing in here?" Jax goes and stands between the two. Brenda takes Julia by the arm and Jax takes hold of Jerry. Brenda begs Julia to stay and Julia says,"Not while he is here." Jax begs Jerry to stay and Jerry says the same thing. Then a disgusted Jax gets on top the coffee table and says," Alright,enough already.Brenda we are just going to have to come out and tell them because there is no other way we can do this." Brenda with a scared look on her face nods yes to Jax. Brenda takes Julia by the hand, walk her over to Jerry and says,"Julia,Jerry,you guys are family now." Jax tears out running to the back and shouts out to Brenda,"If you had any sense you'd come with me!" Brenda says,"No! I will not be a prisoner in my own home. Come back here Jax!" Jax comes out and says,"You're right, this is our house and it is welcome to anyone that wants to act right."
Julia looks at Brenda and says,"I'll be willing to get along with him if it makes you happy." Brenda says,"Jerry? How about you? Are you going to be nice?" Jerry says," Ok. I am willing to give this a shot." Jerry and Julia reluctantly shake hands and they agree to be nice to one another. Julia says," I want you to do something for me Jerry." Jerry says,"Oh? And what might that be?" Julia tells him that she wants him to admit that he lost and he lost to a woman. She wants him to tell her that he did stoop low and she had to do the same just so she could make sure she was still in the game. Jerry goes on and admit it and Julia with a big smile walks over to Jerry, put her arms around him,give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then she looks into his eyes and says,"Thank You. That was'nt so hard now was it?" Jerry laughs and says,'In a way,yes. Not to be rude, but I hate loosing!" Julia says,"Then we have more in common than we thought for."
Brenda and Jax says," Great! Now maybe we can sit down together and have a little lunch huh?'' They laugh. Jerry,Julia,Jax and Brenda are all sitting down at the table eating lunch when the doorbell suddenly rings. Jax gets up to answer the door and half of Port Charles is standing there with a bunch of food saying,"Welcome Home!" Jax says,"Come on in, It's a party now!" Everyone comes in and sit the food down and start hugging Jax and Brenda. By this time,Julia and Jerry have once again broke out into another fight. Jax and Brenda says,"What,what now!? Julia says,"Mr. Showoff here just went into the computer calling himself trying to show me a new way to download and he made all the documents and files for Jacks Cosmetics that I was working on so hard to organize dissappear." Jerry says,"Hold on,I can bring it back just give me a few minutes!" Jax and Brenda tells everyone,"I don't know how we are going to have any peace around here with those two." Everyone else agrees that this may turn into the biggest mess ever.
Everyone had a good time at the welcome home party. As everyone gets ready to walk out of the door,one by one looks back at Julia and Jerry and then look at Jax and Brenda and says,"Good Luck!" Jax and Brenda says,"Thanks,we'll need it. As Jax and Brenda get ready to close the door,two more people arrive....John and Jane Jacks. Jax says,"Dad,Lady Jane, what a great surprise!" They come over and hug Jax and Brenda and ask them how they are doing. Brenda tells them,"Happy as can be!" Then she grabs Jax by his face and they get into a heavy liplock. John says,"Come on Lady,Let's leave these two alone. John and Jane go over to the computer where Jerry and Julia are and discover they are at each other throats. John says,"Hey Jerry,don't you have a hug for your old dad and mom?" Jerry says,"Not now,not now!" Julia says,"While your goofball son is trying to bring back my documents,let me introduce myself. I'm Julia Barrett, Brenda's sister. She holds out her hand for them to shake and they just grab her and hug her. They say,"Your handshakes are no good in the Jack's family,just hugs and kisses daughter!''
Jax,Brenda,John and Jane decides to go to the outback for nightcaps. Jane tells them if we leave them alone,They just might learn to get along with each other. Jax tells them just leave Jerry and Julia alone and let them have to deal with each other. Brenda also says that she thinks there is an attraction and if left alone, they may just discover it. As they proceed to walk out the door,they look back at them and cross their fingers and says,"Better hope this works." Before Brenda walks out of the door,she turns the thermostat up to 100 degrees so everntually they will have to undress.
As Jerry and Julia keep working on the computer, Julia discovers that it's getting hot.She walks over to the thermostat and sees that it's broken. She calls down to the front desk to get some help up there and they tell her that it will be a while before they can get someone up there. Jerry says,"It's really getting hot in here.I've got to take off my shirt." Julia watches and in her mind, it's going in slow motion watching him unbutton his shirt. Julia then decides to take off her blouse. She takes it off and now she really has Jerry's undivided attention. They continue to work on the computer until Jerry says,"I can't take this anymore, I have to try and fix the vent."Julia says,"Put me up there!" He lifts her up into his arms and she is checking out the vent. Jerry says,''Stop wiggling so much you're going to make me drop you." She tells him she almost got it. She moves and moves until Jerry steps backwards,trips over his own shoe and both of them fall to the floor. Julia lands on top of Jerry gazing right into his eyes. He reverses and then looks into hers and says,"I want you. I have wanted you since the first day I saw you. Julia looks into his eyes and says,"It was instant attraction for me,but you know I was'nt about to tell you that." They both start rolling around the floor,in a heavy liplock.
By the time Jax,Brenda,Jane and John come back home from having nightcaps,they discover that clothes are scattered all over the floor. Jax says,"Why is it so hot in here?" Brenda says,"Gee, I don't know!" Jax wanders over to the thermostat and turns it off. While Jane,John and Jax continue to pick up clothes,Jane whispers to John,"Something went on here." Brenda then wanders to the back and to her surprise she finds Jerry and Julia in the spare bedroom draped over each other sleeping. Brenda then runs out and says,"Jax,do me a favor." Jax says,"What honey?" She tells him to have an article printed up in the morning edition saying,"Jerry Jacks and Julia Barrett to be wed." Jax then gets curious and goes back there and finds the same thing. He says,"I'll have them save the storyline until further notice because I know where this is going."
After two weeks pass,Jerry then asks Julia to marry him and she says yes. Jax has the newspaper to go ahead with cover story. By the time it hits the newstands,everyone now knows to their surprise that Jerry and Julia are going to be married. The couple everyone thought would kill each other now knows that they are perfect for each other and with Jax and Brenda, Jerry and Julia on the loose, there's no telling what the future might have in store for Port Charles.
