Julia's POVOur week together was very quiet and peaceful. When Elvis wasn't filming we would have fun together. We were able to sneak inside of a record store without anyone noticing us and we walked in the park at night like the first nights we spent together. It was nice being able to be completely myself with him.
*A Sunday in September*
It's 12 pm, of course, Elvis and I are still laying in bed. We lay there snuggling up close to each other like we did every day. Elvis rolls over facing me with a stupid looking grin on his face. I could tell he was up to something. He says "Satnin, how about we go and get hitched today." Briefly, I was surprised but then it just felt right. I smile back the same dumb grin impulsively saying "Let's do it, baby." I didn't have a dress but I could care less.
Elvis puts on a white shirt with his usual black slacks. He looked thin and handsome. I slip into a white baby doll styled dress. I was trying to hide my small baby bump. Elvis and I didn't want the press to know about our baby out of wedlock. We both sneak downstairs getting into his car. I was surprised that he didn't want to share our moment with his friends or family. I was surprised yet relieved. I wanted this moment just for us to share.
We drive to the LA city hall. Paparazzi caught a few pictures of us as we drove there. We walk into the building hand in hand. I could feel the happiness radiating off of him as he could probably feel the same way about me. It was time, I was standing there facing Elvis during our little ceremony. Both of us smiling with tears in our eyes we say "I do." He romantically dips me into a kiss. We walk out of the building hand in hand happier than ever.
Elvis' POV
May 1968Julia, Kay and I were taking our first family vacation to Hawaii. Kay is 2 months old, she has blonde hair and Julia's brown eyes. She was a beautiful baby and looked like Julia. I was in love with her right away. Landing in Hawaii with everyone it felt familiar. I hadn't been here since I was with Priscilla. I wanted to take a vacation before I film my comeback special next month. Julia gave me the push to start performing again. She saw my frustration with the movies. She always wanted the best for me.
I sit on the ground in our rental house playing with Kay while Julia fixes us lunch. As Julia floats into the room carrying a tray of food she says "I have a surprise for us tonight." "Oh really? I'm the usually the one doing the suprisin'." I say a little surprised. "Your daddy's gonna watch, Kay. I got it all planned out." She says looking down from the couch at Kay and I. The rest of the day we hung around and took Kay to the beach. I was excited to see what Julia had in store for the night.
I walk out of my dressing room, wearing a suit with a baby blue shirt. I see Julia over near the mirror finishing getting ready. She was wearing a light green swing dress with white pumps. I walk up behind her putting my hands on her hips. "You look amazing." I whisper into her ear. She turns her head to my cheek kissing it saying "You're not too bad yourself." We get everything settled with the baby. Then we walk to the car.
She drives which is rare. She drives us up to a hilltop restaurant that overlooks the sea. No one is in the restaurant just us. We drink champagne and eat amazing food. It was beautiful and romantic. Music plays over the speakers in the restaurant. I get up taking her hand. We begin to slow dance in the middle of the dimly lit restaurant. She begins to kiss my neck as I held her. I could stay here for eternity.
