Julianna and George are at her house, just messing around. The phone rings.
"Hello?" Julianna asks, picking up the phone.
"Hey Julianna." The person says.
"Sherry?" Julianna asks.
"Yup. It's me." Sherry Stringfield replies. Julianna squeals.
"Sherry!" She says, laughing. Sherry laughs too. George raises his eyebrows but grins at her. She smiles and turns back to the phone.
"Hey!" Sherry says.
"What are you up to?" Julianna asks, not having talked to her since Ron got arrested.
"Oh nothing much, just getting engaged!" Sherry says. Julianna squeals again.
"Engaged? To who?" Julianna asks, excitedly. This catches George's attention.
"Who?" He mouths. She holds up a finger, indicating him to hold on.
"Ted Riggle. He's a lawyer." Sherry says.
"A lawyer?" Julianna asks. George chuckles lightly.
"Who?" He mouths again.
"Later." Julianna mouths back.
"Yup. He's a lawyer. And I am inviting you over for dinner tonight, if your available. Tony and Jeanine are coming. So are Noah and Tracy. I still have to ask George and Eriq. Please, please, please come and meet him." Sherry begs. Julianna laughs.
"Won't he be a little overwhelmed?" Julianna asks.
"Probably. But I really want to see all you guys." Sherry says.
"I'll come." Julianna says.
"Great!" Sherry says.
"Under one condition." Julianna replies.
"What?" Sherry ask suspiciously.
"As long as I can bring my significant other." Julianna says, raising her eyebrows at George. He holds in a laugh.
"Ohh..already? Who?" Sherry asks.
"It's a secret, but I promise I'll bring him." Julianna says.
"Do I know him?" Sherry asks.
"Yes. You know him, but it's a secret." Julianna says. Sherry laughs.
"Okay, okay. I'm anxious to see who it is. Alright, so be here by seven?" She says.
"Sure." Julianna replies.
"Great. I'll see ya then! Bye." Sherry says.
"Bye." Julianna answers and they hang up.
"Who is she marrying?" George asks.
"Ted Riggle. He's a lawyer and you have to come with me now." Julianna says. Just then George's cell phone rings. He sighs and walks over to it, flipping it open.
"Hello?" He asks.
"Hey George." Someone says.
"Sherry? Sherry Stringfield?" George asks. Julianna holds back a giggle.
"Hey." Sherry says. George chuckles.
"How is the one and only Sherry?" George asks.
"I'm great actually. Can you come over for dinner tonight? I'm engaged and I am having a dinner so some friends can meet Ted Riggle, my lawyer fiancé." Sherry says. George laughs.
"Sure. Can I bring my girlfriend?" George asks. Sherry laughs.
"You too?" She says.
"What do you mean?" George asks, trying to be puzzled. Julianna holds in her laughter.
"Julianna is bringing her significant other and now you are too." Sherry says.
"Oh. Yes. Her significant other. Right." George says.
"You know him?" Sherry asks.
"As a matter of fact I do know him. Pretty well actually." George replies, smiling at Julianna. She giggles but presses her hand to her mouth.
"Ah. Okay, well don't ruin the surprise for me. Do I know your girlfriend?" Sherry asks.
"You might know her. I dunno. We'll see. What time do you need me?" George asks.
"Seven?" Sherry replies.
"Great. I'll be there. See ya Sher." George says.
"Bye George." They hang up. Julianna and George laugh.
"Oh, we got her good." Julianna says, high fiving George. He chuckles and picks her up, throwing her over his shoulder. She squeals.
"George! Put me down!" She says. He chuckles and throws her onto the couch, pouncing on top of her. She giggles as he nuzzles her neck.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
Julianna and George walk up to Sherry's house. It is 7:05 and it looks like Noah and Tony are already there. Julianna rings the doorbell and looks at George, trying not to laugh. He smiles back at her as Sherry flings the door open. She looks at the two of them.
"So where's the others?" Sherry asks, looking around. George chuckles.
"Sherry..I would like you to meet my girlfriend." He says, motioning towards the shadows. He swings his arms around and points at Julianna. "Julianna Margulies." George says.
"And Sherry, I would like you to meet my significant other, George Clooney." Julianna says. Sherry's mouth drops open. George laughs, followed by Julianna. Tony walks up behind Sherry.
"Great job. You got her good. She had no idea!" Tony says. George and him high five each other. George then slips his hand into Julianna's. Sherry finally comes back to her senses.
"Wow. That's fantastic!" She says, hugging Julianna then George. He chuckles. They all walk inside. A man stands up.
"George, Julianna, I'd like you to meet Ted Riggle, my fiancé." Sherry says. Ted shakes George's hand and hugs Julianna quickly.
"Ted, this is George Clooney and Julianna Margulies, two of my best friends." Sherry says.
"How you doing?" George asks.
"I'm..great." Ted, says with a chuckle. Julianna smiles as they all sit down.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
"So is tonight the night?" George asks Julianna. Tonight they are going to the premiere of Noah Wyle's new movie The Musketeer. (i made that up)
"Yep." Julianna says, smiling at him. He smiles and nuzzles her neck. He kisses her cheek gently and pulls away from her.
"Alright then. Let's go get ready." George says. She smiles.
"Let's." She says.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
Julianna and George's limo pulls up outside the auditorium where The Musketeer is premiering.
"Ready?" He asks. She smiles confidently.
"Yup. Let's go." She says. He smiles and kisses her quickly. The driver opens their door and George steps out, pulling Julianna out carefully behind him, holding tightly onto her hand. The camera begin flashing as soon as they recognize who stepped out with him. Julianna smiles at George as they walk inside, smiling for all the camera's, still holding hands. They walk inside and go a few feet before they are bombarded with reporters. George pulls her along, waving them off, going inside the main part of the building. He smiles at her and they continue along, until they find Tony and Jeanine.
"You made it!" Tony says.
"Barely." George grumbles.
"Well at least they'll have something new to print." Tony says. They all laugh.
"This is the best part." George says, sitting beside Julianna as the room darkens, getting ready to show The Musketeer. She smiles slightly.
"Why?" She whispers.
"Because it's quiet and there's no damn reporters." He says. She giggles quietly and leans into him slightly.
Later, Julianna and George finally mingle with the reporters, practically being knocked over by the rush of them. George holds Julianna tightly to him, pecking her cheek lightly.
"George! Julianna!" The woman from Entertainment Tonight yells, shoving a mike into their faces.
"Hello." George says.
"Hey." Julianna says.
"How are you?" The woman asks.
"Great." Julianna says.
"Fine, just a little uh stuffy." George says. Julianna catches his double meaning and elbows his side gently. He chuckles.
"Yeah. It is kind of stuffy in here." The reporter comments. George stifles back a laugh. Julianna tries not to giggle. "So..by the looks of it, you two are a couple now?" The woman asks. George smiles.
"Apparently." He says. Julianna pushes him slightly and smiles.
"Yes. We are." She says. He chuckles.
"For how long?" The reporter asks.
"About a month." George says.
"Really? So will this have any effect on your characters from ER?" The woman asks. George chuckles.
"That's confidential." He says. Julianna smiles.
"All we can say is that we think the audience will be happy with the way things turn out." Julianna says. The woman smiles as she continues the interview.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
Later that night Julianna goes into his house, kicking off her shoes. She has on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He is wearing the same thing. He had invited her over after the party because he said he had something for her.
"Ah. I am mentally exhausted." She says. He chuckles as they flop down onto the couch. She cuddles against him.
"Not used to being bombarded by those reporters?" He asks. She shakes her head.
"Not that much." She says. He chuckles, wrapping her into his arms and kissing her forehead. She looks up.
"So..you said you had something for me.." Julianna says. He chuckles and stands up.
"Be right back. Don't move." George says. She smiles and sinks into the couch.
"Yes sir." She says, smiling at him. He chuckles and pulls her hair playfully before taking off towards the stairs. He bounds up them quickly. She giggles quietly to herself. He comes back with a small gift in his hands.
"Here ya go." He says, sitting beside her on the couch.
"George. What is this for?" She asks.
"Well..it's our one month anniversary..so I decided to get you something." George says. She sighs.
"I didn't get you anything." She says. He smiles.
"You don't need too. I've already got my gift." He says, smiling sweetly at her. She smiles and kisses him quickly. She then shakes her present.
"What is it?" She asks.
"Open it and find out." He says. She smiles excitedly and beings to tear the paper off. "Faster!" He says. She giggles and tears faster into the paper. He smiles, excited and nervous at the same time, knowing what is coming after this. A little box, about six inches by six inches and about an inch deep comes out of the wrapping paper. She slips the lid off of it and reaches into the box, pulling out a CD. It's Lonestar's CD. She smiles at him.
"I've wanted this. Thank you." She says, smiling at him.
"Wait. Do you remember that first night I came to your house? When we kissed and had spagetti?" He asks. She nods, slowly.
"Yeah. Of course I remember." She says.
"Well when we kissed, this song was playing." He says, turning the CD over and pointing to the song "Tell Her". She smiles.
"I remember." She says, her eyes getting a little misty. He stands up, walking to his CD player. He presses a few buttons before the song fills the air.
"I bought the CD for me too." He says. She smiles. He extends his hand to her. "May I have this dance?" He asks. She smiles up at him with tears in her eyes.
"This is..the sweetest gift I have ever gotten. Thank you George." She says. He smiles, pulling her close to him. They dance slowly for a few minutes before the song ends. He pulls his head out of her hair and looks deep into her eyes.
"Julianna..I love you." He says. She gasps slightly, her eyes filling with tears again. She smiles and kisses him.
"I love you too George." She says. He chuckles relieved and kisses her deeper. She sighs happily.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
The next day they walk into work, holding hands and laughing at something George had said. George kisses her gently and they part, going to their separate makeup trailers. Maria and Tony pounce. Tony takes one look at him and grins.
"What?" George asks.
"You got some." Tony says. George chuckles.
"What are you talking about?" George asks.
"Don't even try to deny it. You slept with her didn't you?" Tony asks. George shrugs, smiling.
"Maybe." He says.
"I want details." Tony says.
"Twice." George says. Tony laughs.
"So...how was it..both times?" Tony asks.
"I don't kiss and tell." George says. Tony just gives him a look.
"Whatever. Give me a couple of details. I'm not asking you to recount the whole thing." Tony says. George smiles.
"Well...she was the most wonderful lover...ever. It was like heaven on earth." George says. Tony smiles.
"That's good. I'm happy for you." Tony says. George smiles back at him.
"She's the one, Tony. The one I am going to marry someday, have babies with, grow old with, and I owe it all to you and Maria." George says. Tony chuckles.
"No problem. I'm just glad to see you happy." Tony says.
"To you, my first born...to Maria, my second born." George says. Tony chuckles.
"Wait and tell me that after you hold them. Besides I've got one and another coming, don't worry about giving me yours." Tony says. George chuckles as they walk into the makeup trailer.
"So how was last night?" Maria asks, smiling.
"It was...amazing." Julianna replies. Maria smiles.
"So what happened?" She asks.
"Well..since it was our one month anniversary..he got me a gift. It was a CD. The song on it was playing when we shared our first kiss. He bought himself a copy, so we danced to it. In the song it says "Tell her that you love her", and he told me that he loves me at the end of the song." Julianna says. Maria squeals.
"Did you tell him?" Maria says.
"I told him I love him. Yes." Julianna says. Maria grins.
"That's great." Maria says.
"I owe it all to you and Tony." Julianna replies.
"Don't worry about it." Maria replies.
"Ah..God. It was so amazing." Julianna says. Maria smiles.
"So..did you..you know..do the nasty?" Maria asks. Julianna laughs.
"Twice." She says, after her laughter dies out.
"Twice? Wow." Maria says, raising her eyebrows. Julianna giggles as they walk into the makeup trailer.
((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))((((()))))
Julianna is standing in front of a full length mirror in her bra and underwear, examining her body. George comes out of the bathroom with just boxers on, rubbing his head with a towel. He comes up beside her, dropping his towel onto the floor, and wrapping his arms around her waist. He sets his chin on her shoulder, looking at her in the mirror. He smiles. She gives him a small smile in return.
"Jules, what's wrong?" He asks. She sighs.
"All those women at the Charity Event were so pretty and perfect. I'm..not." Julianna says.
"You're beautiful. And they are not perfect." George says. She sighs.
"But..they all have big boobs, flat stomachs, the right kind of butt." Julianna says. He looks at her through the mirror. He gives her a puzzled look.
"You have a flat stomach. I like your boobs and your butt just the way they are." George says. She smiles.
"Your just saying that." Julianna says.
"Julianna...your beautiful. To me...your beautiful. That's all the matters, right?" He asks, turning her in his arms. She smiles.
"Right." She says. He smiles.
"Good." He says and kisses her.
