Do it for the kids!
Part 1 |

What if Julia and
Peter divorced?
What if they had children together?
What if Julia knew Barbie before the dome?
What if he lived in Chester’s Mills the whole time?
Since Julia and Peter divorced, they shared custody of their two kids. Henry is 5 years old and Serena is 3 years old. They both knew that it wasn’t the best thing to do for their kids but they didn’t really have the choice. They decided that the kids wild stay a week with Julia and one with their dad. They also decided that they will both stay in Chester’s Mills, even though Julia wanted to go back in Chicago.
Everything was going fine. Julia met Dale Barbara in a coffee shop on where she was doing some research for an article. They quickly got along but Julia decided that she won’t tell that to her kids and that it would stay secret. Anyway they are too young to understand that their mother has a new man in her life. She kept it secret until today, DOME DAY.
************************************************ The Dome
Standing outside her house; one hand on this thing that just appears out of thin air. It’s invisible and indestructible. Suddenly her phone rang and on the screen she read: ‘’Dale ‘Barbie’ Barbara ‘’. She answered the call.
‘’Baby! ‘’ asked Julia with a nervous voice.
‘’Julia, thank god you are ok. Are your kids with you? ‘’ said Barbie reassured.
‘’No it’s their week with their dad’s! ‘’
‘’Shit’’
‘’What? What’s wrong? ‘’ asked Julia panicked.
Barbie didn’t answer. A deadly silence was on the other side of the line. Julia thought of the worst scenario.
‘’Barbie, tell me! ‘’
‘’Well Peter is dead…. ‘’
Julia felt on her knees and dropped her phone on the ground. She held her head with her two hands. She took her phone back and put it closer to her ears.
‘’…He crashed his cars on this invisible barrier.’’
‘’Were the kids with him? ‘’
‘’No that’s why I called you.’’
Julia was reassured. She took her breathe back and cried of joy.
‘’I’ll go to Peter’s house to see if they are there. I’m going to get them. Barbie, baby, meet me at my house in 45 minutes. ‘’
‘’I’ll be there. I love you! ‘’
Julia hung up the phone and it took her a minute to realize what just happen. She got up and ran into her house to get her car keys. Of course she was sad about Peter because she did love him at some point. She married him and she gave birth to their two kids. All she could think about is why Henry and Serena were alone home on Dome Day.
She drove as fast as she could to get to Peter’s house. She arrived shortly, parked the car and ran to the door. It was unlocked. She got in and found her two children crying on the living room floor. She got on her knees next to them.
‘’Thank god you are both alright? ‘’
‘’We heard a loud ‘Bang’. It scary mommy! ‘’ said Henry.
‘’I know, I heard it too. Where’s your daddy?’’
‘’He was mad so he left for the clinic. ‘’ responded her son.
‘’Mad? About you? ‘’
‘’I don’t know’’
‘’He didn’t hurt you, did he? ‘’ asked Julia.
‘’No! ‘’
‘’Anyway, you are coming with me! ‘’
‘’We are going to your house mommy? ‘’ said Serena afraid.
'’Yes, baby Serena; you are coming to mommy’s home okay? ‘’
Julia went back to her car and took the two suitcases that she packed before. She packed everything that her kids would personally need. Henry packed his things like he does every week when he leaves his mom or dad’s house. After, he went to help his sister to do the same thing. Julia took Serena in her arms and some bags. Henry took the other bags. They all sat in the car and tears are falling on Julia’s cheeks.
‘’What’s wrong mommy? ‘’ said Henry while seeing his mommy all emotional.

Julia didn’t answer to her son. She just started the car and drove. When
they arrived, Barbie’s car was in the driveway.
‘’Who’s car is this? ‘’
‘’A friend of mommy, honey. ‘’
‘’Why is he here? ‘’
‘’Because I asked him. ‘’
Julia waved to Barbie. He got out of the house and help Julia with everything. She asked Henry and Serena to go play inside and told them that she won’t be long. As soon as they entered the house, Barbie hugged Julia and kissed her forehead. She cried on his shoulder. He held her head and tried to calm her down. Meanwhile, Henry was watching them from the living room windows.
‘’Everything will be fin Julia! ‘’
‘’It’s not. How am I supposed to tell them? ‘’
‘’You’ll know in time. ‘’
‘’What about you? How I tell them about you? I want and I need you to stay here, under this roof, with me. ‘’
'’I know, we will tell them together, alright? ‘’
‘’I’m scared Barbie! ‘’
Barbie kissed her. He took her hand and led her inside. Julia sat on the couch with her kids close to her. Barbie went to the kitchen to prepare the supper. Henry stood up and stayed in the arc of the door, watching Barbie.
‘’Are you alright young man? ‘’
‘’My mommy felt asleep with my sister. ‘’
‘’You are not tired? ‘’
‘’No! Who are you? ‘’
‘’Do you want to help me? ‘’
‘’I do. ‘’
Barbie didn’t want to answer Henry’s question. Henry is a smart kid. Smart like his mother. He’s just like Julia.
‘’I think that we are done? ‘’
‘’I think too! ‘’
‘’Could you dress the table for me? And I’ll go wake up your mommy. ‘’
‘’Ok! ‘’
‘’You are an angel! ‘’
Barbie gave him everything to place on the table. He walked towards the living room where Julia and Serena were asleep. They looked so peaceful. He touched Julia’s magnificent hair. She opened her eyes and smiled because of Barbie.
‘’Supper’s ready! ‘’
‘’Alright, we are coming, let me wake her up gently. ‘’
Barbie got back to the kitchen while Julia tried to wake up Serena. Serena cried because she didn’t want to be waking up.
‘’Why does she always cry? ‘’
‘’Who? ‘’
‘’Serena! ‘’
‘’Because she’s a baby! I suppose that you were the same when you were little. ‘’
Julia took Serena’s bottle of juice. She past near Barbie and he put his hand on her hip and she sat at the table. The four of them ate their plate. It was so good. Barbie is a real chef. Julia gave Henry and Serena their desserts. After, she gave both of them their bath, she put Serena to bed and then she went to Henry’s room.
‘’Everything’s ok Henry? ‘’
‘’Yep! ‘’
‘’Alright, go to bed its late! ‘’
‘’Mommy? ‘’
‘’Yes? ‘’
'’I’ve seen you with your friend outside when we arrived here.’’
‘’Really? What did you see? ‘’
‘’He hugged you and kissed you. You cried and everything! ‘’
‘’So you know! You are such a smart kid Henry.’’
‘’But why were you crying? ‘’
Barbie heard Henry’s question, he stepped into the room.
‘’Alright young man, better listen to you mommy. It’s late, go to sleep. ‘’
‘’You’ll know soon, honey. Sleep tight! ‘’
Julia kissed Henry on his forehead, placed his covers on him and got out of the room. She was shaking. As soon as Barbie closed the door, she felt in his arms and cried. Barbie took her on the balcony of her bedroom. They sat on the bench and she cried her eyes out.
‘’He knows about us Barbie! He knows! ‘’
‘’He’s a smart kid! ‘’
‘’Who’s car is this? ‘’
‘’A friend of mommy, honey. ‘’
‘’Why is he here? ‘’
‘’Because I asked him. ‘’
Julia waved to Barbie. He got out of the house and help Julia with everything. She asked Henry and Serena to go play inside and told them that she won’t be long.

‘’He knows about us Barbie! He knows! ‘’
‘’He’s a smart kid! ‘’
Part 3 |

The next morning, Julia woke up next to Barbie. It felt so strange to
have him and the kids under the same roof. She was surprise that no one was up
before her. She took Barbie’s hand that was on her hip and put it aside. She
sat on the bed and thought. She grabbed her long sleeved shirt and stepped
outside, on the balcony. She stayed there for a long time. Everything looked
absolutely normal except that there was a dome over Chester’s Mills. She was in
her thoughts so much that she didn’t hear Barbie coming.
‘’Good morning beautiful! ‘’
‘’Good morning baby! ‘’
He kissed her neck. She turned around to see his face and gave him a long passionate kiss on his lips.
‘’Did you slept well? ‘’
‘’I think so. Did Serena wake up in the night? ‘’
‘’Yes, and I went to see her. I gave her two glasses of water and talked with her and she got back to sleep. ‘’
‘’Sometimes, I wonder why you don’t have kids of your own. You’re so good with them! ‘’
‘’Well maybe it’s because I didn’t find the woman who would give me beautiful children of my own. Now that I have you, it’s different. ‘’
‘’Maybe!’’
‘’Maybe? Really, you are serious? ‘’
‘’If we get along well in the same house and everything goes well between us, I mean why not! ‘’
'’I love you so much right now! ‘’
He took her in his arms and kissed her again. Why didn’t he meet her before? His life would have been so different with Julia by his side. Maybe the two kids that are asleep would be his. Suddenly they heard footstep in the hallway and someone knocked on the door.
'’Mommy, can I come in? ‘’
‘’Yes, wait a second baby! ‘’
Julia kissed Barbie one last time and he told her that it’s maybe the right time to tell Henry about Peter. She walked to the door and unlocked it.
‘’Hi you, did you sleep well? ‘’
‘’Better than ever! ‘’
‘’That’s great, wow! ‘’
‘’Did you two slept in the same bed? ‘’
‘’We do. ‘’
‘’You’re like my new dad. ‘’
‘’Yeah, we can say that! ‘’
‘’That’s nice! ‘’
‘’Anyway, mommy got something to tell you. Only you can understand. You are old enough. ‘’
‘’Is it why you were crying? ‘’
‘’Yes, it’s about your real daddy! ‘’
‘’Really? ‘’
‘’When he left you and Serena alone at his home, he had a car accident and… ‘’
‘’Is he dead? ‘’
‘’I’m so sorry baby! ‘’
Henry’s eyes were full of tears. Julia pulled him closer to her. She hugged him tight. She didn’t saw Henry cry like this in a long time. He’s such a tough kid. Julia tried to reassure him but she knows that only time will change things.
‘’Everything will be okay. You both will live here with mommy and Dale. We will start something new, okay? ‘’
‘’Okay! ‘’
‘’Know that mommy loves you so much, you and your sister. I will let nothing happen to you, even if we are stuck under this invisible barrier. ‘’
‘’But I left things at daddy’s house! ‘’
‘’All four of us will go get them! ‘’
Henry looked over to Barbie and ran into his arms. Barbie and Julia were surprise by Henry’s reaction. Henry cried on Barbie’s shoulder and he let him cry because there’s nothing they can say to calm him. Julia gave a kiss to Henry and to Barbie. Without any sounds Julia said to Barbie ‘’thank you’’ and he answered ‘’I love you’’. It’s a hard and emotional morning in the Shumway residence. Julia went to see if Serena was awake. When she opened the door, Serena opened her eyes.
‘’Hi baby! You did a big sleep! ‘’
Serena was a little lost. She’s always like that when she wakes up. Julia took her in her arms and hugged her.
‘’Mommy loves you so much. ‘’
‘’Good morning beautiful! ‘’
‘’Good morning baby! ‘’
He kissed her neck. She turned around to see his face and gave him a long passionate kiss on his lips.
‘’Did you slept well? ‘’
‘’I think so. Did Serena wake up in the night? ‘’
‘’Yes, and I went to see her. I gave her two glasses of water and talked with her and she got back to sleep. ‘’

Serena was a little lost. She’s always like that when she wakes up. Julia took her in her arms and hugged her.
‘’Mommy loves you so much. ‘’
Part 4 |

Julia got back to her bedroom with Serena. Henry stopped crying but was
still on Barbie. Poor little guy, this was hard for him because he loved his
father as much as he loves his mother. Henry and Serena look like they already
love Dale. Barbie looked Henry and wiped his tears from his face.
‘’What do you want to eat buddy? Ask me anything! ‘’
‘’Pancakes ‘’
‘’Pancakes it is! Do you want to help me in the kitchen? ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
Barbie took henry in his arms and asked Julia if she want him to take Serena downstairs. She said yes so he also took Serena in his arms. He looked so happy with the two kids in his arms. Julia smiled because even though everything is not going well in her life there’s new things to come. She kissed him.
‘’Eew, that’s gross! ‘’ said Henry.
‘’What that! ‘’ Barbie kissed Julia again.
‘’Eew!!! ‘’ laughed Henry.
‘’That’s because I love your mother so much that I kiss her like that. ‘’
After this, Barbie got downstairs with the kids and they started prepare the breakfast. Julia grabbed her towel and went into the shower. She thought that she could get used to have Barbie in the house. They could be a family again and maybe add one baby to their new family. She was a little bit stressed of her new life, what if they don’t get along as well as they think? She doesn’t want to think about it because for now everything is going fine. When she got out of the shower she could hear Henry and Serena laughed downstairs. With just their little laugh she knew that they were good with Barbie. She dressed up quick to join them in the kitchen.
‘’What’s going on in here? ‘’
‘’Serena dropped the flour on the floor. ‘’ answered Henry.
‘’Wow, I can see that! ‘’
‘’Don’t worry baby, that’s my fault. I’ll clean that. I made her laugh while she had the flour bag in her hand. ‘’ told Barbie.
‘’Really? Well you have a beautiful clean up to do Mr. Barbara. ‘’ laughed Julia.
'’Come here you!! ‘’ He took Julia and put her some pancake mix in her face. She did the same on his face. ‘’Really, you want to play this game! ‘’
‘’Not today we don’t really have the time because we have to go at the town hall at 11am for a meeting with the people of Chester’s Mills.’’ said Barbie.
‘’Ah, that’s true. Henry and Serena you have to come with us. I’m not leaving you alone home. ‘’ said Julia to reassure.
‘’Ok, is it about the thing outside the meeting? ‘’ asked Henry.
‘’Yeah! We will eat and we will go see what is it alright? ‘’ said Barbie.
‘’Yay! ‘’
‘’Little curious kid! ‘’ answered Julia.
‘’Just like his mommy! ‘’ told Barbie while laughing.
‘’What do you mean by that! ‘’ said Julia surprised.
‘’I can’t say it in front of the kids. ‘’ said Barbie.
‘’Dirty mind! ‘’ replied Julia while getting closer to kiss him.
Barbie finished the pancakes and Julia placed the table while the kids were watching a TV show. Once he finished cooking the pancakes, he went to get Henry and Serena to come eat. Julia prepared the plate for Serena and Barbie helped Henry with his. When they finished Julia asked Serena and Henry to go get dress while Barbie cleans the kitchen and mommy cleans the table. Henry ran back downstairs and stood in front of Barbie.
‘’I’m ready! ‘’ told Henry to Barbie.
‘’Alright, I won’t be long! ‘’
‘’Did your sister was ok Henry? ‘’ asked Julia.
‘’I think so! ‘’
‘’Can you go see her please; I’ll help Dale to clean so you could go out faster! ‘’ said julia to Henry.
‘’Sure mommy! ‘’ Henry ran back upstairs.
‘’He’s such a great kid Jules.’’
‘’I know. ‘’
‘’You raised him good; you’re a good mother to your kids. They love you way much than I love you! ‘’
‘’They mean the world to me! ‘’
‘’I can see that. ‘’
They finished cleaning the mess that Barbie did. Henry helped his sister to get downstairs. He held her hands all the way down the stairs. This was so cute. Barbie and Julia were ready to go out with them. Julia gave them their jackets and they went outside in front of her house. Barbie put one hand on the invisible wall so Henry did the same. Julia told the two boys that she will began walking towards the town hall. Serena has little leg so it’s longer. The girls left and they stayed there in front of the wall for a while. When the four of them got together at the town hall meeting, people were surprised to see Barbie with Julia’s little girl in his arm and Julia by his side. Nobody knew about them even if it’s a small town. Rebecca Pine, one of the teachers at the school where Henry goes went to see Julia.
‘’I’m so sorry about what happen. I heard about Peter, this must be hard on you and your kids.’’
‘’Thank you, it’s hard for everyone who knew him but especially for Henry. We told him this morning. ‘’
‘’We? Sorry if I ask! ‘’
‘’Dale Barbara and I! ‘’
‘’That’s why I saw Dale with your daughter Serena. You two are together.’’
‘’We are. ‘’
‘’Since when? ‘’
‘’Maybe 6 months or less ‘’
‘’Oh that’s brand new, I’m happy for you Julia. Take care of your kids and yourself. ‘’
‘’Thank you so much Rebecca. We will keep in touched. ‘’
‘’What do you want to eat buddy? Ask me anything! ‘’
‘’Pancakes ‘’
‘’Pancakes it is! Do you want to help me in the kitchen? ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
Barbie took henry in his arms and asked Julia if she want him to take Serena downstairs. She said yes so he also took Serena in his arms. He looked so happy with the two kids in his arms. Julia smiled because even though everything is not going well in her life there’s new things to come. She kissed him.
‘’Eew, that’s gross! ‘’ said Henry.

‘’Thank you so much Rebecca. We will keep in touched. ‘’

Julia rejoined Dale in the crowed. She looked to Henry who was talking
with his friends not far from them. Serena was on Barbie’s shoulders. Julia
looked to her and smiled. Everyone was scared of what was happening over their
head. What is this thing? Where does it come from? Of course they are waiting
for answers. Sam Verdreaux was standing next to Linda Esquivel on the town hall
porch; where everyone could see them. As soon as Sam began to talk to the
citizens, Henry came back close to Julia and held her hand.
‘’We know that you are all scared. Trust us, we are too. We don’t have any idea where this invisible barrier is coming. ‘’
‘’We want everyone to be safe; if you have any questions feel free to come ask us. ‘’
‘’We discovered that all the signals are blocked. We can’t have communications from the outside world. WYBS is the only radio station that works here. We are asking all of you to tune their radio on the frequency. Also, cell phones are working. ‘’
‘’This thing cut our electricity line so we will give each of you propane. ‘’
Julia looked to Barbie with a scared look. How are they going to do with two young kids? Barbie told that he will take his propane that should go to his apartment and will bring it to Julia and he will move in with her. He reassured her that everything will be fine. As long as they will stick together everything will be ok.
‘’Last thing; don’t stay close to this thing. We don’t know the effect that it could have on us. ‘’
Serena asked to go in her mother’s arm so Barbie gave Julia Serena. Henry asked Barbie if they will be able to investigate this thing. Barbie explained to him that it could be dangerous.
‘’We won’t be able to investigate the barrier but we will help all the citizens in the town. ‘’
‘’How? I’m too little to help people. ‘’
‘’Nobody is too little to help, young man. ‘’
Julia looked to Barbie with an uncertain look. She doesn’t want her son to get hurt or to be involved in bad things. Henry ran back to his friend. He told them that he was living with his mommy so if they want to see him they could come over.
‘’You’ll keep him safe? ‘’
‘’I promise you. Nothing will happen to him. ‘’
Barbie kissed Julia. Everyone turned around and looked at them kissing. Sam Verdreaux walked in their direction.
‘’Alright everyone there’s nothing to see. ‘’
‘’Hey Sam! How are you? ‘’
‘’I’ve been better. How are your kids doing Julia? ‘’
‘’They are fine. We’ll be fine. ‘’
‘’So you two have been together long? ‘’
‘’Less than 6 months! ‘’
‘’Nice, do you have everything you need? ‘’
‘’Yeah, we do. ‘’
‘’Barbie, can I count on you for helping us in the town? ‘’
‘’Sure, count me in. I’ll bring my helper, Henry, if it’s ok? ‘’
‘’Sure why not! Alright then I’ll let you go. Come by the police station later I’ll give you a radio Mr. Barbara. ‘’
‘’Great, see you later Sam. ‘’
Barbie took Julia’s hand and they started to walk towards Henry. He was with 5 other boys that are in his class. All their parents were around. Julia touched the back of his head to make him feel that they were there. Julia talked with the other parents and Barbie followed her because he doesn’t know anyone. The fact that he doesn’t have kids doesn’t help. He doesn’t understand what they are talking about. They are talking about the outbreak that happened at the school the other day and the fact that Henry is one of the kids that didn’t catch the virus. Lucky for him one of the dad’s is a paramedic so he talked with them. Serena began to be heavy and Julia was starting to be tired of having her in her arms. That’s what told her that they should probably go to Peter’s house to get the things that they left and Serena’s stroller.
‘’Sorry to interrupt, but we should go, honey, we have things to get you know where! ‘’
‘’That’s true. I’ll be there in a second. ‘’
‘’End your conversation and I’ll go get Henry. Oh and you get a bonus. ‘’ Julia smiled and gave him Serena. She felt asleep on Barbie.
‘’We should continue this conversation one day. My girlfriend’s waiting for me. ‘’
‘’Julia Shumway is your girlfriend. We didn’t know. Congrats man! ‘’
‘’Yeah, thanks! See you later! ‘’
Barbie shook the hands of the other father and left to go meet Julia. They left the Town Hall in direction Peter’s house, which is at 5 minutes of walk from they are. When they arrived Julia told Henry to go get what he really wanted to bring at his mommy’s place. Julia got the stroller and with the help of Barbie they placed Serena in. She when to get her blanket in her little baby room; she and Peter had painted when they knew that she was pregnant. There were too much memories in the house. Barbie went in the kitchen to check if there was anything left that they could bring to Julia’s.
‘’We know that you are all scared. Trust us, we are too. We don’t have any idea where this invisible barrier is coming. ‘’
‘’We want everyone to be safe; if you have any questions feel free to come ask us. ‘’
‘’We discovered that all the signals are blocked. We can’t have communications from the outside world. WYBS is the only radio station that works here. We are asking all of you to tune their radio on the frequency. Also, cell phones are working. ‘’

As soon as they got back to Julia’s, Barbie put Serena in her bed. She
was already sleeping but he thought that she would be sleeping better in her
bed with her blanket and stuffed animals. Earlier, he said to Sam that he would
pass by the police station to get his radio. Strangely, everything looks
exactly the same even if there’s a big dome over them. Sure he will help Sam
with the security in the city but the first thing on his mind is keeping Julia
and the kids safe.
‘’Jules, can I use your Prius, I have to get to the police station? ‘’
‘’Sure, my key is in the key box near the door. ‘’
‘’Can I come with you? ‘’ asked Henry?
Barbie looked over to Julia. He knows that she’s not good with her son being involved with the police department. He’s not his father so he can’t decide. Henry looked to his mother with shiny eyes; he wants to go with Barbie.
‘’Alright, on one condition; if something goes wrong or if there’s an emergency you bring him back to me right away. And you Mister Henry, you don’t touch anything and you be good to Barbie. ‘’
‘’I will, I promise you mommy. ‘’
‘’Anyway we won’t be long; we are just going to get the radio. Sam wants me to help him but I have to admit that I’m not really into it. ‘’
‘’Good! ‘’
Barbie kissed Julia and took her key. Henry ran towards his mother’s car. He sat in the front seat, next to Barbie. Julia watched them leave from the living room window. Barbie helped Henry with his belt and started the car. On their way to the police station, Henry stared at Barbie.
‘’What? ‘’
‘’Are you going to marry my mother? ‘’
‘’Why are you asking me this? ‘’
‘’Because you love her a lot! ‘’
‘’I do love your mother a lot but I don’t think that we are going to get married? ‘’
‘’Are you going to have a baby? ‘’
‘’Henry, enough with the question! ‘’
‘’One last, please? ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
‘’ Are you going to move in with us? ‘’
‘’Your mommy asked me to, so yeah, I’ll be moving in. ‘’
Henry’s little face expression was like he has seen an angel. Even if he knows Barbie for only two days now, he already feels like Barbie is his father. Barbie touched the back of his head.
‘’If I had a son, I would have love a boy like you. You’re smart and always good with everyone. I do love your mommy so much and when she asked me to move in I was a little scared that you wouldn’t love me but now I feel like I’m your new father; to you and to Serena. So even if I didn’t have kids before, I feel like I have some now. ‘’
When they arrived, Barbie unclicked his belt and the belt of Henry. Henry jumped in his arms. Joy tears felt on Barbie’s cheeks. Henry hugged him so tight. When Henry let him go they both got out of the car and walked in the police station.
‘’Sam! ‘’
‘’Hey Mr. Barbara! Oh, you brought us some company. Hi little sergeant Shumway! ‘’
‘’Hi!’’ said Henry all shy.
‘’Don’t be shy body! ‘’
‘’Anyway, I won’t keep here for a long time; I know that you left Julia and her daughter alone home. Here’s your radio man. ‘’
‘’How does it works? Do I have to let it open all night long? ‘’
‘’You’ll do 11am to 5pm. So you turn on at 11am and you close it at 5pm. If there’s anything we will call you on your phone or on Julia’s phone. ‘’
‘’Do you need me to leave you our numbers? ‘’
‘’That would be nice! ‘’
While Barbie wrote down both their cellphone number, Sam talked a little bit with Henry. Poor little guy, he was so shy. He held Barbie’s hand and wouldn’t let go. Once he was done, Barbie reassured him and presented him officially to Sam. Sam told Henry what he does for living; which fascinates Henry. Sam did him a tour of the station. His favorite part was the cells. Barbie checked his watch and saw that it’s been 45 minutes since they left. He also realized that he left his phone in the car. Julia must freak out.
‘’That was gentle of you to show Henry the police department but we really need to go! ‘’
‘’Why? ‘’
‘’Because your mommy must freak out and I left my phone in the car! ‘’
‘’Will we come back? ‘’
‘’If your mommy want then yes! ‘’
‘’Cool, see you soon Sam. ‘’
Barbie said ‘bye’ to Sam and said thanks to him another time. He will turn on his radio tomorrow at 11am.
‘’Jules, can I use your Prius, I have to get to the police station? ‘’
‘’Sure, my key is in the key box near the door. ‘’
‘’Can I come with you? ‘’ asked Henry?

Later that night, after the kids were in bed, Julia and Barbie were
sitting on the bed in Julia’s bedroom. They were holding each other’s hands and
were looking one another through the eyes. They used to do that every time that
Barbie came around. Naturally that leads to other thing but tonight it’s
different, Barbie wanted to tell Julia about Henry and all the questions that
he asked and his over enthusiastic reaction when he said that he will moving
with them. Julia got closer to him just like she wanted to kiss him to after
leading to making up.
‘’Julia, not tonight! There’s something that I want to tell you. ‘’
‘’What, what’s wrong? Are you ok? ‘’
‘’I’m fine. When I was driving with Henry by my side, he started to ask questions about you and me. ‘’
‘’What kind of questions? ‘’
‘’All kind, like he asked me if we were going to get married, if we were going to have a baby and if I was going to move in with you three. ‘’
‘’Why would he ask you that? I mean he’s just a kid. Why does he bother with these questions? ‘’
‘’I don’t know. ‘’
‘’Did you answer his questions? ‘’
‘’Of course not, I only answered one! ‘’
‘’Which one? ‘’
‘’The only one I had the answer to. I told him that I was going to move in with all of you. ‘’
‘’Yeah, but it’s true so… ‘’
‘’His reaction… ‘’
‘’What reaction? ‘’
‘’When I stopped the car and unlocked his belt he jumped on me and hugged so tight; I never saw him like that. Of course I knew that he appreciates me but that was surprising. He just lost his father like 2 days ago and I’m not comfortable and ready to replace Peter in his life. But if I believe him I did already. ‘’
‘’Oh my god, I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It’s hard on all of us but we will get through this, okay? Let me talk to Henry and I’ll explain everything to him. He’s old enough and smart enough to understand that, I think. ‘’
‘’Alright, thank you baby. I love you! Do you think that I could get the answers to do the other questions, because I’m asking them myself? ‘’
‘’Us getting married, maybe and the baby thing well we spoke about it but the way you act with children is so wonderful and you are so careful with them that if I ever get pregnant and it’s yours I will definitely keep it, be sure of that. So I think you have you two answers, right? ‘’
‘’Hum, I think I do! ‘’
‘’I love you Mr. Barbara! ‘’
Julia leaned over him and kissed him. Everything turns out for the best. Now it’s Julia’s turn to talk to Henry. She totally understands what he was going through and she doesn’t Barbie to feel like he’s more than a step-father to him, because after all it’s all he is and that’s all he will ever be until they get married and he adopts Henry and Serena. He kissed Julia back and like the other times this talk and everything led to making up. Julia won against him once again.
**************************
The next morning, Julia woke up and took a walk with Henry to go to her office. She wanted to get her notebook and her laptop. While being at her office she asked Henry to sit on the couch. She thought that it was the perfect moment to have a talk with him.
‘’Henry, I talked with Barbie last night and he told me that you were happy that he was going to move in with us. ‘’
‘’Yeah that’s awesome; he’s going to be my dad. ‘’
‘’Not really, he will never replace your dad. I know you like him a lot but he’s just mommy’s boyfriend for now, okay? ‘’
‘’Why are you saying this to me? ‘’
‘’I want you to be careful, okay? This is all new for him, he never had kids and he wants to raise Serena and you with me. I’m truly your mommy; he’s not truly your daddy. Let him space and let him adjust to his new life with us. Do like you did before when you came to mommy’s house. He’s not always going to bring you with him; he got to help Sam now. He has other responsibility. But he loves you, keep that him mind! ‘’
‘’Alright, can I still do thing with him? ‘’
‘’Of course you can! I know how you like to cook with him and play outside; you can still do that baby! ‘’
Henry hugged his mother. He was a little shock about what she told him but he will be okay. Suddenly, an earthquake shook the ground. Julia held Henry close to her. When it ended, she asked him if he was okay. She took the phone and tried to call Barbie, communications were gone. They had to go back home to see if Serena and Barbie were okay. She took her bag and Henry’s hand and they walked fast to go back home
‘’Julia, not tonight! There’s something that I want to tell you. ‘’
‘’What, what’s wrong? Are you ok? ‘’
‘’I’m fine. When I was driving with Henry by my side, he started to ask questions about you and me. ‘’

‘’Barbie? ‘’
screamed Julia while she entered in her house.
‘’We are fin Julia! ‘’ said Barbie from upstairs.
‘’I was so worried! ‘’ answered Julia running up the stairs.
She found Barbie sitting on the floor with Serena in his arms. He was bleeding from his lower lip and from the forehead. Julia asked Henry to go get a towel and Band-Aids. They both look everywhere on Serena to make sure that she wasn’t hurt. Serena was fine, she was just scared because everything felt on the floor when the earthquake hit. When Henry got back Julia told him to stay with his sister while she goes with Barbie in the bathroom to cleat his wounds. He sat on the edge of the bath and Julia began to wash his injuries.
‘’Julia, I’m fine! ‘’
‘’No you’re not, you are bleeding from the head, let me fix this. ‘’
'’Jules, come on! ‘’
‘’No sex! ‘’
‘’What? ‘’
‘’Let me fix this and I won’t put Band-Aids I promise. Anyway I’m not sure that you want to have a Mickey Mouse Band-Aids on your forehead. ‘’
Julia laughed. This is a house where there are only kids’ injuries so she only has kids Band-Aids. He laughed when he saw the box that she showed him. When he will go to his place he will bring the ones that he has in his pharmacy. There’s no way he’s going to use it.
‘’Tell me that you have normal ones somewhere. Don’t tell me that if you cut yourself you go to work with one. ‘’
‘’When you have kids, you have to do some sacrifice and that’s one. ‘’
She finished cleaning his wounds. When she finished she turned around to rinse the towel in the sink. He grabbed her by her hips and sat her on his knees. She turned her head to look at him. They looked each other in their eyes and Barbie told her tenderly ‘I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you ‘. Julia smiled and gave him a quick kiss and answered ‘Me too Mr. Barbara! ‘’ He hugged her and smelled her hair that smells so good like always. Julia got up and rinsed the towel. Barbie got beside her and kissed her neck before going to see if Henry and Serena were still fine. Barbie proposed to two to kids to go play outside in the backyard. While they were getting dress to go play outside, Julia showed up at the top of the stair.
‘’I’m tired, I’m going to go lay down for a while. Have fun outside! ‘’
Barbie looked at her and she looked tired and dizzy. She had troubled breathing and her eyes were closing by themselves. He ran upstairs right before she fainted. Barbie took her in his arm and laid her on her bed. She came back to her. Barbie told her that she fainted and that she must sleep for a while. He will come to check on her in 30 minutes to see is everything is ok. He kissed her forehead and he left the room. He got back downstairs where Henry and Serena were waiting for him.
‘’Is she going to be alright? ‘’
‘’Of course she will, your mommy is strong. She’s probably really tired and maybe she caught a little virus. ‘’
‘’Okay.’’
‘’Come on, let’s go play outside, I’ll come check in your mommy soon! ‘’
Barbie got outside with them. They swung on their swing and slide. They also played hide and seek. Julia and Barbie recently added a sandbox in her backyard so Henry and Serena could do sand castle together. Barbie looked at his watch. It’s been 40 minutes since he left Julia inside. He told Henry to keep an eye on Serena while he was going to check on Julia. When he got back in the room, Julia was sitting on her side of the bed; holding her head in her hands. She was also white as sheets. The door for h er balcony was grand open. He sat next to her.
‘’Are you alright? Baby, you are so pale! ‘’
‘’I have a headache, I’m all shaky and I feel like I’m going to throw up. ‘’
‘’Do you want to go to the clinic? ‘’
‘’Sure, but what are we doing with the kids? ‘’
‘’I’ll call Joe McAllister! ‘’
‘’Good! ‘’
‘’We are fin Julia! ‘’ said Barbie from upstairs.
‘’I was so worried! ‘’ answered Julia running up the stairs.
She found Barbie sitting on the floor with Serena in his arms. He was bleeding from his lower lip and from the forehead. Julia asked Henry to go get a towel and Band-Aids.

She finished cleaning his wounds. When she finished she turned around to rinse the towel in the sink. He grabbed her by her hips and sat her on his knees. She turned her head to look at him. They looked each other in their eyes and Barbie told her tenderly ‘I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you ‘. Julia smiled and gave him a quick kiss and answered ‘Me too Mr. Barbara! ‘’ He hugged her and smelled her hair that smells so good like always. Julia got up and rinsed the towel. Barbie got beside her and kissed her neck before going to see if Henry and Serena were still fine. Barbie proposed to two to kids to go play outside in the backyard. While they were getting dress to go play outside, Julia showed up at the top of the stair.
‘’I’m tired, I’m going to go lay down for a while. Have fun outside! ‘’
Barbie looked at her and she looked tired and dizzy. She had troubled breathing and her eyes were closing by themselves. He ran upstairs right before she fainted. Barbie took her in his arm and laid her on her bed. She came back to her. Barbie told her that she fainted and that she must sleep for a while. He will come to check on her in 30 minutes to see is everything is ok. He kissed her forehead and he left the room. He got back downstairs where Henry and Serena were waiting for him.
‘’Is she going to be alright? ‘’
‘’Of course she will, your mommy is strong. She’s probably really tired and maybe she caught a little virus. ‘’
‘’Okay.’’
‘’Come on, let’s go play outside, I’ll come check in your mommy soon! ‘’
Barbie got outside with them. They swung on their swing and slide. They also played hide and seek. Julia and Barbie recently added a sandbox in her backyard so Henry and Serena could do sand castle together. Barbie looked at his watch. It’s been 40 minutes since he left Julia inside. He told Henry to keep an eye on Serena while he was going to check on Julia. When he got back in the room, Julia was sitting on her side of the bed; holding her head in her hands. She was also white as sheets. The door for h er balcony was grand open. He sat next to her.
‘’Are you alright? Baby, you are so pale! ‘’
‘’I have a headache, I’m all shaky and I feel like I’m going to throw up. ‘’
‘’Do you want to go to the clinic? ‘’
‘’Sure, but what are we doing with the kids? ‘’
‘’I’ll call Joe McAllister! ‘’
‘’Good! ‘’
Part 9 |
|
Barbie called Joe McAllister and explained him the situation. Joe told
him that he would there shortly with a friend, Norrie Calvert. Barbie stayed
with Julia while they arrived he tried to reassure her by telling her that
everything is going to be alright. He gave her a bottle of water and helped her
to get downstairs. 15 minutes later, Joe and Norrie arrived. Joe presented Norrie quickly to Julia and
Barbie because he knows that it’s maybe not the good timing to meet new people.
Barbie showed where everything was to them and told them that the dinner was
already prepared. All three of them went
to see Henry and Serena who were outside playing in their sandbox.
‘’Are you going to be fine with those two? ‘’
‘’Totally, if there’s anything, one of us will go to the clinic to find you! ‘’
‘’Alright, if there’s anything you can also ask Henry, he knows where the things are! ‘’
Barbie kissed Henry and Serena’s heads before leaving. He took the keys for Julia’s Prius and helped her to walk to the car. She kept her water bottle with her. Barbie drove as fast as he can but safely towards the clinic. When they arrived, he parked the car and led Julia into the clinic he sat her in the waiting room. He went to register her at the front desk. A nurse saw them waiting in the waiting room and judge that Julia needed medical help right away. He came in with a wheelchair and another nurse. They brought her in a room. They asked Barbie to lay her down and that the doctor will be there shortly. Julia closed her eyes and placed one arm over her eyes and one in her stomach. Barbie asked her how she was feeling and if it was worse than before. She told him that it was a little bit worse and that she was tired as hell, that’s when the doctor entered.
‘’Sorry I did as fast as I could. They told me you were in pretty bad shape. How bad is it?’’
‘’I have a headache, fever, stomach pain and I don’t sleep well! ‘’
’Are you feeling nauseous? ‘’
‘’Also! ‘’
‘’Alright, I‘ll do a checkup. Is there any chance that you could be pregnant? ‘’
Julia counted in her head and looked over Barbie before answering. There was no chance that she could be, they have been very careful and they talked about having a baby together just last week.
‘’No, not a chance! ‘’
‘’Are you hesitating on this question? ‘’
‘’I would be very surprise if I am because we have been so careful so that won’t happen so I don’t think that I am. ‘’
‘’Want me to check just to be sure? ‘’
‘’why not, we are here! ‘’
Julia looked over to Barbie while the doctor was getting ready. Barbie took her hand and with his eyes he told her that he wasn’t going anywhere. He kissed her on her forehead and sat on the chair next to her. The doctor also sat next to her with the screen for the ultrasound.
''It’s going to be cold. I’ll need you to lift up your shirt a little bit.’’ He placed Julia’s shirt so he could see the low part of her belly. I applied the cold gel on her stomach and started to check if she was pregnant. Barbie was shifting between the screen and Julia’s eyes. A couple minutes later, the doctor turned and told Julia and Barbie that she wasn’t pregnant. She knew that she wasn’t pregnant but while he was doing the ultrasound, deep inside her she wanted to be. A tear felt on her cheek.
‘’Alright, I’m going to do you a blood test and you are going to wait here until I get the results. ‘’
‘’Good! ‘’
‘’After the test, you’ll be able to eat something if you want M. Shumway.’’
‘’Okay! ‘’
He did the blood test to Julia. He brought the blood directly to the lab and told them that it could take 45 minutes to get the results. Barbie went to get something to eat for him and Julia, even if she’s feeling nauseous so she doesn’t want to eat. They both ate a little something even if she doesn’t want to.
‘’Everything looks fine at home? ‘’
‘’Looks like it! Joe told me that one of them would find us if anything bad happens. ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
‘’Don’t worry, I know Joe since a while and he’s going to take good care of Henry and Serena. Anyway they are smart kids so everything should be fine. ‘’
‘’I know, but the last time they were alone with someone else, that person killed herself. ‘’
‘’Julia, stop worrying! Start thinking about how you feel sick! They are perfectly healthy back home! ‘’
The doctor came in again but this time with the results of the test. He explained to them that everything looked fin except the high sugar concentration in her blood. He asked her if she has any diabetic family member in the past. She answered that as far as she could think no.
‘’Have you been eating dairy products? ‘’
‘’Yeah, like every day! ‘’
‘’So that’s what it is! You are lactose intolerant. ‘’
‘’How is it possible? Have been eating dairy products my entire life! ‘’
‘’It’s something that can be develop. You can become intolerant at any moment of your life! ‘’
‘’What should I do now? Medications? Diet? ‘’
‘’I’ll give you two kind of medication. One for your pain, and the other you take it only if you ate dairy products. It will help your body to digest these products. ‘’
‘’Alright, something else or just these two pills? ‘’
‘’Just that! Now go back to your home, take your medication and sleep a little. It will helps. ‘’
‘’Is it hereditary? ‘’
‘’The scientist are not sure about this theory. If your kids ever feel pain that looks like yours, bring them here as soon as possible. ‘’
‘’Alright, we will check for that. Thank you Dr. Freeman. ‘’
When they got back home, Julia did exactly what the doctor said; she took her medication and went to bed. Barbie invited Joe and Norrie to eat with him and the kids. Henry and Serena liked their day with them. They did drawing, playing games together and they watched a movie all together in the living room.
‘’Are you going to be fine with those two? ‘’
‘’Totally, if there’s anything, one of us will go to the clinic to find you! ‘’
‘’Alright, if there’s anything you can also ask Henry, he knows where the things are! ‘’

Henry and Serena liked their day with them. They did drawing, playing games together and they watched a movie all together in the living room.
Part 10 |
|
Henry hugged Joe and Norrie before they left. Serena was already asleep.
It has been a big day for her. Julia was still sleeping and didn’t eat anything
of the whole evening. Barbie gave the bath to Henry and told him to go put his
pyjama on. After Henry put his pyjama,
Barbie went in his room to put him to bed. But before, he wanted to talk to him
about Julia.
‘’Henry, your mommy is sick. She will have to sleep a lot and try to be relax all the time. She has medication to take so I think that Joe and Norrie are going to help you and I do go get my things and bring them here. You still want to help me, right? ‘’
‘’Yeah, I do. But is my mommy going to be feeling good again? ‘’
‘’I’m sure she will. ‘’
Barbie kissed his forehead and put his blanket on him. He told him goo night, turned off the lights and closed the door behind him. As soon as he turned around he was face to face with Julia. She looked so pale but she smiled at him anyway.
‘’How are you even standing? You should go back to bed baby. ‘’
‘’I know, but I just want to eat something. I’m starving! How’s Henry doing? ‘’
‘’Everything is good with him and he had a good day with Joe and Norrie. I told him that you are sick and asked him to come help me to move my stuff. ‘’
‘’I’m sure he said yes! ‘’
‘’He does. Now come on, let’s get you something to eat! ‘’
Barbie held Julia by her waist and helped her to get downstairs. They sat at the table and ate something. Julia’s colors came back a little, she took her medicine. Her and Barbie went in the living room and watched the fire in front of them. Her head on his shoulder, both hands in his hands and looking through each other eyes; everything was perfect. It was just when everything was secret between them. She’s going to miss these moments but she’s happy that Barbie is moving with her.
‘’Let’s go to bed! ‘’ said Barbie while kissing her forehead.
‘’Alright! ‘’
They both went upstairs and went into Julia’s bed. Her fever was down but she was tired. Barbie took her in her arm and gave her a delicate kiss on her perfect lips. Julia placed her head on Barbie’s chest and did circle with her finger on his body. Barbie played with her magical hair and thought about the adventure that he just got in with Julia and the kids. Everything is going to be different.
When they woke the next morning, they were face to face. Barbie was awake since 20 minutes and was watching Julia sleep. The house was quiet. No one was up; Serena didn’t even wake up in the night like she always does. Julia opened her eyes and looked to Barbie. She smiled and turned to watch her watch that was on the side of the bed on the table. Barbie took her delicate face in his hands and kissed her with passion.
‘’Is it you way to tell me good morning? ‘’
‘’Kind of and the way to tell you I love you, do you like it? ‘’
‘’J’adore! ‘’
‘’Oh that’s cute! ‘’
‘’That’s the only thing that I can say in French. ‘’
‘’That’s sad but I love you anyway! ‘’
‘’So you’re moving in today! Are you excited? ‘’
‘’First it’s you house, are you excited? That’s a big step for us! ‘’
‘’I am. It’s a totally new story now. Everyone’s going to know about us. ‘’
‘’Are you ok with this? ‘’
‘’We wanted to have a secret relationship but with this dome, soon we will know everything about everyone. I think that people should know now about us! ‘’
‘’Everyone? How are you going to do that? ‘’
‘’By us going to get married, tonight! ‘’
‘’Julia, I want to spend my life with you but don’t you think that it’s a little bit too fast for us. ‘’
‘’Barbie, why wait? We are here now and god knows for how long! ‘’
‘’Don’t talk like that, but if it’s what you want, than yes. Let’s get married tonight at the church down the road. ‘’
Later that day, Barbie was at his apartment with Joe, Henry and Rebecca. She lives nearby so she came to help Barbie. Norrie and Serena were at Julia’s to get thing placed in the house. As soon as they finished, Barbie heard Sam calling him on the radio.
‘’Everything is ready for tonight Barbie! ‘’
‘’Thanks Sam! ‘’
Joe heard that. He wondered what was ready. What were they preparing? Barbie had a big smile on his face. Something was up. He rarely saw Barbie with a smile that big so he knew that it was something between Julia and him nut Sam knows so that’s weird. Barbie was putting boxes in the car when Joe stepped next to him.
‘’What’s happening tonight? ‘’
‘’I’m getting married kid! ‘’
‘’Henry, your mommy is sick. She will have to sleep a lot and try to be relax all the time. She has medication to take so I think that Joe and Norrie are going to help you and I do go get my things and bring them here. You still want to help me, right? ‘’
‘’Yeah, I do. But is my mommy going to be feeling good again? ‘’
‘’I’m sure she will. ‘’
Barbie kissed his forehead and put his blanket on him. He told him goo night, turned off the lights and closed the door behind him. As soon as he turned around he was face to face with Julia. She looked so pale but she smiled at him anyway.
‘’How are you even standing? You should go back to bed baby. ‘’

‘’Everything is good with him and he had a good day with Joe and Norrie. I told him that you are sick and asked him to come help me to move my stuff. ‘’

Part 11 |

Meanwhile, Julia was at home unboxing some of Barbie’s things. Norrie
was playing with Serena while Carolyn and Alice were helping Julia. Everything
was different. Carolyn and Alice just learned that Julia and Barbie were
together. This is all new for them and a little bit awkward. They knew that she
was divorced but they didn’t think that she would find someone that quick. Otherwise, they are happy for her; to see her
with someone who’s going to take good care of her and her children; someone
that will protect them for this THING. Only god knows where it comes from.
‘’So how long have you two being together? ‘’
‘’Maybe a month or two! ‘’
‘’Wow, that’s fast for you two to live in the same house! ‘’
‘’Well, we were not really thinking of doing it, but since the dome, my medication, the death of Peter and the kids, it was easier that way. ‘’
‘’And you are getting married? That’s what Norrie told us! ‘’
‘’Yeah, tonight actually… ‘’
Carolyn and Alice looked Julia with big eyes. They couldn’t believe what they just heard. It was fast for them to move in together; it’s even faster for them to get married.
‘’Are you sure that you want to do this? I mean sure you two are cute together but it’s quick Julia. ‘’
‘’We only want the best for you, Henry and Serena. We don’t want you to get hurt if anything happens! ‘’
‘’I know, I’m scared too but I love him. He’s good with Henry and Serena, he takes good care of me and he’s amazing you know where… ‘’
They all laughed. They totally understood what Julia was saying. Suddenly Julia’s phone rang. It was Barbie calling saying that they were done at his apartment and that they were coming back home. Julia talked with Henry a little and talked back to Barbie. Barbie told her that everything was ready for tonight.
When he got home, he kissed Julia. Serena ran towards him and he took her in his arms. Carolyn and Alice understood what Julia was saying earlier about him being kind and gentle to her kids. Carolyn arrived behind Julia.
‘’If you are getting married tonight, you should get ready. Let us help you. Joe, you take care of Mr. Barbara and Henry. Call Junior and Sam if you need help. ‘’
‘’You don’t need to be doing this… ‘’
‘’Oh yes, we have. It’s not every day that we are going to go at a wedding under this DOME.’’
Julia kissed Barbie and the girls took her upstairs. They told Julia to sit on her bed. Norrie brushed her hair and did a beautiful braid. Alice and Carolyn looked through Julia’s dresses to find one that she could wear tonight. Meanwhile, Joe and Junior were pouring a glass of wine to Barbie to celebrate de fact that he was getting married. After a couple sip of wine, Barbie had a call on the police radio.
‘’Yeah, Sam, go ahead! ‘’
‘’I think that you need to come here! ‘’
‘’Where are you? ‘’
‘’ At the border of the dome, on the bridge! There’s someone looking for you! ‘’
‘’That’s a bad timing; I’m getting married in 1 hour. ‘’
‘’But he really want to see you to know that you are ok. ‘’
‘’Alright, I’m coming. ‘’
Barbie knocked on Julia’s doors and told her that he will meet her at the church he has to take care of something. He took the vest of his tux and left. Once he arrived he saw someone on the other side of the dome. At first, he didn’t recognise him. It was Don, Don Barbara, his father. When don saw him he looked so surprise. Barbie had his tuxedo on and was ready for an occasion like a wedding. When he last talked to his father he didn’t mentioned that he was with Julia. He tried to explain to him that he was getting married tonight to a beautiful woman; he showed him a picture with his phone. Don was happy to see that his son was ok and that everything was going great for him. Barbie left Don and told him that he misses him. He drove to the church with Sam.
When he got there, everything was perfect. Everything was simple and a big part of the town was there to celebrate their love. 2 minutes before going at the end of the aisle, he knocked on Julia’s door and kissed her. She was looking great as always; in a little white/beige dress and flowers in her hair. 30 minutes later they were considered husband and wife. This was a fairytale for both of them except for the part that they were under a dome. But everything else was perfect. They were married in front of the whole town with their friends and Julia’s children.
'’I love you Mrs. Shumway! ‘’
‘’Man of my life, just kiss me!”
‘’So how long have you two being together? ‘’
‘’Maybe a month or two! ‘’
‘’Wow, that’s fast for you two to live in the same house! ‘’
‘’Well, we were not really thinking of doing it, but since the dome, my medication, the death of Peter and the kids, it was easier that way. ‘’

Part 12 |

Some days have passed since Julia and Barbie’s wedding. The Dome is
still there and everything looks normal. The citizens of Chester’s Mills are
starting to lose their mind because of it. Strange thing happens like robbery
and fights; some people have their gun on their porch. Julia is feeling way
better her medicine is helping a lot. Since Barbie moved in everything is
easier, they are family again. He helps a lot in town with the police
department and she stays home with Serena and Henry. Since there’s no
electricity without generator, the only source of information is the radio.
WYBS is the only radio station under the dome. Since Julia is a journalist, she
likes to listen to it and at the same time she can know if anything happens and
if Barbie is ok. She cannot really work now that the dome is there so that day
she decided that she would go to the radio station to see if she could help
them with the news or other things. Why not help the each other’s.
‘’Mrs. Barbara, I’m surprise to see you here! ‘’
‘’Please call me Julia Shumway even if I just got married to Dale Barbara, it’s all new and I would really like to keep my name. ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
‘’Dale and I have talk about it and he’s completely ok with that. Can I help you with anything? ‘’
‘’Dodee need help for writing things down. She’s hearing other radio frequency and she would really like someone to write what they are saying on a paper. ‘’
‘’Great, where is she? ‘’
‘’You’ll find her upstairs. Oh and by the way, where is my body Henry? ‘’
‘’He’s with Joe McAlister and Norrie Clavert. ‘’
‘’You should bring him here someday. I talked with him about what I do for living when Peter was alive. ‘’
‘’I will, I just didn’t know that you knew my kids. ‘’
‘’In fact I only know Henry. Serena has always been shy with me. ‘’
‘’Why am I not surprise about this! She was like that with Dale at first! ‘’
Julia walked upstairs, said ‘Hi’ to Dodee who was trying to get the frequency back. She was not quite sure who was talking on that frequency. Julia went in the office and grabbed a notebook and a pencil. She sat next to Dodee on the table and wrote the date, who was in the station and waited until Dodee found the frequency. As soon as Dodee found the frequency they both listen to it and Julia wrote what she heard.
‘’This is an emergency broadcast from the US government, if anyone inside the dome; you have 1h30 to tell everyone the following message. We need to know how many you are under this thing. We didn’t send this thing. We have to clue on where it comes from. We are doing our best to figure out what it is. We are working with and Energy Company directed by Mr. Don Barbara. We have the reason to believe that his son is trap inside. If you could find Dale Barbara, we would really like to know that his ok. This is no a DRILL.’’
Julia wrote everything and dropped her pencil. She sat back and thought for a minute. Why do they want to find Barbie? Is he involved in all this? Why does he never talk about his father? Dodee saw that Julia wasn’t ok with what they just heard. She looked very worried.
‘’You should find him Julia. ‘’
‘’I know! ‘’
‘’Then go! Go find him, tell him that some government agents are looking for him. It might be very important. ‘’
‘’Alright, but will ou be ok if I leave you! ‘’
‘’That’s your husband Jules! Leave! ‘’
‘’Alright I’ll see you soon with explication. ‘’
These last words were repeating in her head: THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
‘’Mrs. Barbara, I’m surprise to see you here! ‘’
‘’Please call me Julia Shumway even if I just got married to Dale Barbara, it’s all new and I would really like to keep my name. ‘’
‘’Alright! ‘’
‘’Dale and I have talk about it and he’s completely ok with that. Can I help you with anything? ‘’
‘’Dodee need help for writing things down. She’s hearing other radio frequency and she would really like someone to write what they are saying on a paper. ‘’
‘’Great, where is she? ‘’
‘’You’ll find her upstairs. Oh and by the way, where is my body Henry? ‘’
‘’He’s with Joe McAlister and Norrie Clavert. ‘’
‘’You should bring him here someday. I talked with him about what I do for living when Peter was alive. ‘’

Part 13 |

Julia stood up and took her things. She kept thinking of what the guy
was saying. Did she just marry a bad guy or something worse? She desperately
wanted to know. She had to find Barbie. She remembered that he has a radio and
that she could reach him on it. She looked all around to find one.
‘’Do you have a radio here? ‘’
‘’Big Jim took all of them to give them to the police dept. I only get their frequency! ‘’
'’Shit, Barbie has one. It could have been easier. ‘’
Julia left the old light house. She sat in her car and thought about where Barbie said he would be this morning. She couldn’t remember it. She started her car and drove to the police station. When she got there, there was no police car, so he is probably on the road. She went inside even if she knew that everyone has left the station. She opened the first door and ran into Barbie. She took him in her arm and tears began falling on her cheeks.
‘’Julia, what’s wrong? ‘’
‘’Someone’s looking for you. What have you done? ‘’
‘’What I have done? Nothing and you know that. We’ve been together all the time! Who’s looking for me? ‘’
‘’I don’t know a guy from the government who is working for Don Barbara, that I guess is your father. ‘’
Julia was shaking and crying. Barbie held her in his strong arms. He led her to one of the bench in the hall. They sat there for a while. Julia was in shock. Barbie went in the office to get her a bottle of water.
‘’Don’t worry I didn’t do anything. I saw my father before we got married the other day. He wanted me to meet him by the dome. I had another life before meeting you but this is all past now. Everything will be fine! ‘’
Barbie pulled her closer and hugged her. She felt so safe in his arm. She took her breathe back and drank a couple sip of water. Barbie took her face, took her tears away and kissed her.
‘’I love you Julia Shumway and that’s why I married you. You the best thing that have happen to me. Now let’s go see what they want together. Where do I have to meet them? ‘’
‘’On the bridge by the dome! I love you too Mr. Barbara! ‘’
‘’Alright, I’ll let you rest a little bit and we will go there. ‘’
‘’Good! ‘’
Julia and Barbie stood up and hugged each other. It’s been a while since they had these kinds of moments. Naturally it’s happier and nicer. In each other, Barbie saw shadows in the front door of police station. It was Sam and Linda.
‘’Please get a room at least. ‘’ said Sam joking.
‘’Barbie, some guys are looking for you! ‘’ said Linda.
‘’I know that’s where we are heading. By the dome, on the bridge! ‘’ answered Barbie.
‘’What happen Julia? Are you ok? You look like you just cried! ‘’ asked Linda.
‘’Yeah, I’m find now. Thanks for caring! ‘’
Barbie took Julia’s hand and they walked out the police station. Sam and Linda watched them go out and being happy together.
‘’I’m happy they found each other. I mean look at them, don’t they look happy together?’’
‘’Yes they are! ‘’
‘’After her divorced Julia was so depress and didn’t know what to do. Now she looks happy with Barbie. ‘’
‘’At least there is some person that are happy under this damn thing. ‘’
Barbie opened Julia’s door, she sat in the car and in went to sit on his side. He drove until the bridge; he parked the car right before it. They both saw the army’s truck and government cars. They got out. Hand in hand they walked until they were close enough from the dome. They can’t hear what they are saying and the officers can’t hear them. They wrote things on some papers so they could read. They all recognize Dale. The First question that they asked was; who was the woman next to him. He told them that she was his wife and that they could talk even if she was there. He held Julia’s hands so tight and looked her through her eyes. She smiles back at him.
‘’Don Barbara told us that you could help us by telling us how is the situation under this dome. ‘’
‘’True! ‘’
‘’Is everything ok? ‘’
‘’People are going nuts a little bit but everything looks fine for now. We got married three days ago.’’
‘’How can we stay in touch? ‘’
‘’Meet me here every two days. ‘’
‘’Great to count you with us, nice to meet you Mrs. Shumway! ‘’
They packed their things and left. Barbie and Julia stood there watching the scene. How could they know her name? She didn’t care. Now everything she wanted is to go back home with her kids and Barbie.
‘’Do you have a radio here? ‘’
‘’Big Jim took all of them to give them to the police dept. I only get their frequency! ‘’
'’Shit, Barbie has one. It could have been easier. ‘’

Barbie took her in his arm and hugged her so tight. The last time he held her that tight was before the dome. Julia put her head on his shoulder. He placed one hand on her hand and played with her luscious hair. She closed her eyes; everything was ok now. Everything was fine; Barbie was ok, Henry was still struggling with sadness and Serena doesn’t really know what’s happening. Julia left her head and looked Barbie through his ocean blue eyes. He looked at her back. She smiled at him. Barbie took her head and kissed her. Just like the first time that they kissed; in the middle of Zenith, after a wonderful date, in the pouring rain. She kissed him back.
‘’Let’s do it! ‘’ said Julia between two kisses.
‘’Do what? ‘’ said Barbie after another kiss
‘’This child of ours! ‘’ said Julia while Barbie was kissing her neck.
‘’Your serious? ‘’ Barbie stopped and took her hips.
‘’I never been more serious about something! ‘’ answered Julia.
‘’And you think that it’s a good idea to have a baby under this thing! ‘’
‘’No but I love you and it’s all I want! ‘’ Julia kissed Barbie again.
‘’Alright, well let’s go back to my place, we will be alone and my bed is still there. ‘’ proposed Barbie.
‘’Who needs a bed when we have a car! ‘’ replied Julia
‘’Come on baby, let’s go to my place, it’ll be more romantic! ‘’
Barbie took her to the car. When she sat in the car Barbie walk around to his side; he couldn’t realize that Julia was serious about it. They only talked about the other, nothing was set or decided. Julia was in the car. That man was everything for her. She was definitely ready for it. A third baby, wow! She never thought that she would get to have three children of her own. When he got inside he bend over and kissed Julia again; like he missed her already.
He drove through the entire town. Passed by Linda and Sam, whom got out of the police station and by Junior and Angie that were at the Sweetbriar. Julia took Barbie’s phone and texted Norrie to tell them that they would spend the night at Barbie’s apartment. Norrie knew exactly what was about to happen. She answer ‘’Alright love birds, be good! Btw Henry and Serena are doing fine.’’ Julia smiled when she got the answer from Norrie. Barbie asked why she was laughing. She explained to him and he laugh. He turned on a little street called Monte St-Lew and parked in his driveway. They both got out of the car. Barbie took Julia in his arm and brought her inside while she was kissing him. They kissed everywhere in his apartment to finally end up on the living room floor.
‘’You sure you want to do this? ‘’
‘’Stop talking, yes I’m sure! ‘’
‘’Alright, so it’ll be right here, right now baby. ‘’
The next morning, Julia woke up next to Barbie on the floor of his apartment. She looked around to be sure that she was really at Barbie’s apartment and yes she was. She turned around and kissed him.
‘’Good morning Mr. Barbara! ‘’
‘’Hey Mrs. Shumway-Barbara! How was it yesterday? ‘’
‘’It was good and I hope that it worked! ‘’
‘’I hope too, can you imagine this. You, me, Henry, Serena and our baby! ‘’
‘’I can definitely see it!
They both sat on the floor, tried to find where all their clothes went, because they are all around the place. They both looked at each other and laughed like kids.
‘’We should go back to your place. We should set free Joe and Norrie even if they love Henry and Serena. They deserved a couple of day off. ‘’
'’That’s true! ‘’
They both put their clothes back on and left Barbie’s apartment. They drove back to Julia’s and set free Joe and Norrie. Henry and Serena were still sleeping. They were exhausted from yesterday. Barbie did some tea and they sat on Julia’s room balcony. Barbie gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. At the same time, they heard Serena on the baby monitor. Julia got up and went to get her. She takes her in her arm and brought her outside with her and Barbie. Henry was still sleeping and if he’s tired he must sleep. Serena put her head on her mommy’s chest and held her stuffed animal and her blanket so tight. Julia kissed her head and hugged her. Life was good.
‘’Let’s do it! ‘’ said Julia between two kisses.
‘’Do what? ‘’ said Barbie after another kiss
‘’This child of ours! ‘’ said Julia while Barbie was kissing her neck.
‘’Your serious? ‘’ Barbie stopped and took her hips.
