Picket Fences! Part 38 Arlene and Jimmy got married (Part 36) and left the church in a taxicab to start their life together.
The newlyweds went to Arlene's apartment on Main Street.
When they got out of the taxi Jimmy said "Well, here we are Mrs. Martin."
Then before Arlene had a chance to say anything, he picked her up and carried her up the stairs to their apartment.
"It was a beautiful wedding wasn't it?", said Arlene.
"Yes, everything was perfect", he said.
"Jimmy, you can use the bathroom first. I'll wait to use it whenl you're finished", she said.
After Jimmy used the toilet and changed into his pajamas, he relaxed on the bed and waited for Arlene.
Arlene decided she needed a bath to help her relax. Even though she had been anticipating this night . . .
She was nervous as she joined Jimmy on the bed.
He asked her to cuddle which she liked.
He gave her tender kisses on her hand which she enjoyed.
He gave her a romantic kiss which she returned . . .
And they madeout.
"You ready to do woo hoo Mrs. Martin?", he asked.
"NO! I can't do it", she said.
"But you're my wife Arlene! It's our wedding night!", he said.
"I'm sorry Jimmy", she said.
"A fellow doesn't expect to be turned down on his wedding night", he said.
"I think maybe I'm just tired from the wedding. Maybe after a good night's rest I'll feel better tomorrow", she explained.
"Well, I'm not going to force you to do something you don't feel like doing", he said.
Jimmy got up off the bed . . .
And went into the bathroom and cried. Poor Jimmy . . . married life wasn't quite like he expected
Jimmy went into the livingroom and studied up on his mechanical skills until he got sleepy.
By the time he returned to bed Arlene was sleeping soundly.
Jimmy got into bed and Arlene cuddled up close behind him. . .
And dreamed about Rhys.
When they woke up the next morning, neither of them mentioned last night.
Arlene went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
"Shouldn't you be getting dressed for work?", asked Jimmy.
"I got plenty of time before the carpool comes", she said.
The carpool came to pick them up at 8:30 A.M. Since they both work for Child Welfare they rode together to work.
On the other side of town at Jonathan's place . . .
Married life couldn't have been any better.
They walked together to his houseboat.
Jonathan picked up Shannan and carried her over the threshold.
"You're the most beautiful bride any man could ever hope for", he said.
Then gave her a romantic kiss.
They changed into their pajamas after he suggested they change into something more comfortable.
"Let's relax on the bed", said Jonathan.
Then he relaxed on the bed and Shannan joined him.
They cuddled.
He held her hand in his and covered it in tender kisses.
He gave her a romantic kiss.
They madeout.
"You ready to do woo hoo Mrs. Henry?", he asked.
Afterwards . . .
"That was definitely worth waiting for", he said.
"I have a surprise for you out on the deck", he said, "Come with me."
"Oh Jonathan, this is wonderful!", said Shannan as she got in the "Love Tub".
Jonathan and Shannan cuddled.
They madeout.
Then when Jonathan asked . . .
And they did woo hoo again!
Now this is the right way to start married life!
At Rhys' place . . .
The weekend had ended and Rhys' three sons were on their way to school.
The schoolbus will take his son Noah home to his mama this afternoon.
His son Kevin will go to his home across the street.
And his son Ryan will be the only one returning here.
After entertaining his sons all weekend, Rhys was ready for some lunch and some adult companionship. He went to the telephone and ordered a pizza.
The pizza delivery girl Lauren Reeves soon arrived.
Rhys accepted the order.
He took the pizza around back to the patio and asked Lauren to join him.
"How long have you been delivering pizzas?", asked Rhys.
"You know something, I've never thought about it before. I don't remember doing anything else", she said.
After they finished eating she asked Rhys if he wanted her to stay and hangout. He said yes and they went inside.
Rhys sit down on the sofa and asked her to join.
They cuddled . . .
They madeout.
"Let's go relax on my bed", he said.
"Alright", said Lauren.
Rhys relaxed on his bed and asked her to join.
He gave her a romantic kiss.
"You want to do woo hoo?", asked Rhys.
"YES!", she answered.
Afterwards . . .
Lauren and Rhys both fell asleep.
Lauren woke up, got out of bed . . .
And went over to the window and stared out.
Rhys woke up and came over to where she was standing.
"Why do you look so sad?", he asked, "Woo hoo should make you happy!"
"I don't usually jump into bed with my customers. There's just something about you . . .", she said.
"Maybe 'cause I'm irresistable", he said.
"Yeah, maybe so", she said.
Then Rhys gave her a romantic hug . . .
Then Lauren left, looking puzzled by what she had done.
Meanwhile over at the church . . .
Rev. Woods had an unexpected visitor.
"May I help you?", Joseph asked the teenager.
"I'm looking for someone. I was hoping you might know where he lives", said the boy.
"If he's a member of my congregation I probably do", he said.
"His name is Jonathan Henry. That's him in this snapshot", he said, "He's my dad."
The snapshot was of Jonathan and a pretty blonde girl.
"Yes, I know Jonathan. He and his wife are members of the church", said Joseph, "Come with me to the parsonage and I'll telephone him."
"Who should I tell him is looking for him?", asked Joseph.
"My name's Nathan Jordan, but he don't know me anyway", he answered.
"Jonathan, this is Rev. Woods. Can you come to the parsonage? There's someone here who wants to see you?"
"Sure, I'm be right over."
"He's on his way over", said Joseph.
