It wasn't what happened, it's what followed - Gillies/Murdoch story

Back to busy

" James ? James ? James get up ." Murdoch sang , no not actually singing but like someone would to wake somebody up peacefully even if they were waking a non morning person, because well , that's what he was doing. Murdoch pulled back the covers slightly and it still didn't work, Murdoch didn't want to be he had to , he walked over to the light switch and turned the light on " WILLIAM !" Julia and Gillies both groaned , the objective was to get ONLY Gillies but well it's fine that Julia's was now up anyway " get up you too. It's already 6:30 , you're both going to be late if you don't hurry up. " Murdoch commented not bothering to apologize because he didn't feel he had to " school starts at 8 and besides I'm walking there with Julia anyway." Gillies complained as he got up , walking slowly over to Murdoch to give him a hug " don't you have to be at work ?" Gillies continued as he wrapped his arms around Murdoch " no , I go in at 7:20 today. Odd time I know but it's what it is ." Murdoch reported , Gillies nodded as Julia walked past , taking his arm as she did so " c'mon you, you don't want to keep Robert waiting at school " she said as Gillies slowly but more awake followed her " your not my mother . " Gillies said bitterly at the way Julia was treating him " then go get changed and I'll make some breakfast for us all. Don't be long though, I still have to get ready, corsets are time consuming Mr.Gillies." She said as she made three coffees " yeah yeah !" Gillies called from the bedroom, as he walked out fully dressed and back into the kitchen " there's your coffee, toast is with it, extra buttery. I'm going go get changed now ." Julia stated , Gillies was already eating his toast as she said this , Murdoch walked up behind Gillies' chair " love you sweetheart." He said as he bent down and gave Gillies a kiss on the head " love you too. " Gillies replied sweetly . A few minutes later they all were ready to go , " shall we head off Doctor Ogden ?" Gillies asked , she giggled and nodded ,Murdoch followed them out the door " your coming to William? " Julia asked as they continued to walk " yes , I didn't see that harm in exercise." Murdoch replied as he took Gillies hand and the three walked to their destinations for the day.
