This fanfic is connected to Monday's episode of Murdoch! Enjoy!

….

It had been weeks since their book has been published. William and Julia had a lot of work to catch up on and never really had time together, since the book tour. So William decided to come up with a surprise. He told Julia to be home at the earliest she could be which was 6:30pm. Before heading home he grabbed the essentials for the surprise. As he arrived home he set up in the living room, made a fire, prepared the dinner and set out an outfit for Julia. He loosens his tie and took off his vest and waited for Julia. He read a bit when he heard the door and he checked his pocket watch, 6:45 pm.

"William, I'm home."

"Julia" he said and kissed her

"sorry, I'm late…William" she looked at what William set up.

"a picnic."

"yes with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and absinthe."

"what for?"

"to celebrate, our book. I also have something set out for you in the bedroom, go and put it on."

"ok" she says and gives him a kiss

She heads into their bedroom and notices a navy blue silk nightie and a matching robe. She undo's her hair, touches up her makeup, and puts on perfume and the nightie with the robe.

She enters into the living room sits down on the blanket that William set out on the floor.

"so, Mrs. Murdoch, how was your day?" William says while handing her a sandwich.

She begins eating and says "well, Mr. Murdoch"

She talks for half an hour straight, without realizing it.

"William…I'm sorry…I'm going on and on, but I had a frustrating day."

"no worries, Julia, I understand"

She leans in and gives him a kiss

"but William, why did you do all this? And why did you by this navy nightie for me?"

'like I said to celebrate our book"

"also?"

"because of our first picnic, we may have never had our first kiss and more. I wouldn't be here with you my wife, Julia Ogden-Murdoch, the love of my life." Also your new nightie, I remember you got rid of the navy blue dress, so I asked Oscar if there was anything he could find that would look nice on you and he found what you're wearing now and it definitely reminds me of the blue dress."

"oh…" she says and kisses him

He opens the bottle off the absinthe and pours the drink in wine glasses.

"to us…" the both said and clinked and both took a drink.

"so, Mr. Murdoch how was your day?"

William went on and on talking about the latest case.

When he finally says "man I'm still disappointed, still no fairies"

Julia smiled and ran her fingers in his hair, "disappointed we can't have that"

He smiles and they both lean in for a kiss. They look at each other and put their glasses aside and continued kissing.

The kissing turned into a make-out when Julia broke the kiss, "William…let's think about what we're doing…"

William looks at her with confusion.

"I'm just teasing, William" she kisses him back

He then says "but Julia, I do have precautions in our bathroom." She shakes her head "if we get pregnant, I'll be happy"

"I would be too," he said with her finger on his chin and they begin kissing again and removed their clothes and made passionate love.

Later they cuddled in bliss when Julia asked "William if I didn't' stop you the first time, would you have been guilty of us making love before marriage?"

William looked at her, "no, because I was already in love with you. I only slowed down because you asked me too."

"you have always been such a gentlemen." She says with a smile and kisses him

They continue looking and caressing each other's body until they both fell asleep.

THE END
