Changes Ch 1


"Do you have everything?" Toby asked as he picked up
the last of the luggage.

"Yeah." She replied.

"A warm coat, gloves, hat, snow boots, you did pack
all of those things?"

"Yes, I have everything I need, okay."

"Well, we are going to Moscow."

"It's April."

"It's still Moscow."

"I know that."

"I'm just trying to make sure you don't freeze to
death while we are there."

"Now you wouldn't let that happen, would you?" CJ
said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"No." Toby laughed and then kissed her. "I wouldn't
let you freeze to death."

"Good."

"We should be going."

"Yeah."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Which speech are you working on?" CJ asked Toby, a
few hours later on Airforce One.

"The economics lecture for Moscow State University.
I don't know why I'm writing it, he's just going to rewrite it."

"Probably."

"Oh, he'll definitely rewrite this one. It's his
subject, he'll say I didn't go into enough detail on
supply and demand. Okay, that's it. I'm finished
with it. Now he can totally rewrite it, and I won't
complain about this one."

"Yes you will."

"CJ..."

"You'll complain because he rewrote it, and you know
I'm right."

"Shut up."

"Fine, but I'm right." CJ said as she laid her head
against his shoulder.

"Don't tell me that you are sleepy."

"A little."

"Are you sure you're feeling okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because you've been constantly tired for the last
week."

"I think it's just been the preparations for this
trip."

"Okay."

"CJ," Charlie said, "you wanted to know when he was
ready to start the interviews."

"He's ready now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'm coming."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, I thought the interviews with Time and
Newsweek went well. Who's next, CJ?"

"Danny Concannon, sir."

"Charlie, go get Danny Concannon."

"Which speech are you reading, sir?" CJ asked after
Charlie left.

"Moscow State. I believe Toby has referred to this
one as an economics lecture."

"Yes, sir." CJ laughed.

"You can tell him that I'm adding to this one."

"Yes, sir."

"Sir."

"Yes Charlie."

"Danny Concannon."

"Send him in."

"Mr. President." Danny said as he walked in.

"How long is this one, CJ?" Jed asked.

"Ten minutes, sir."

"Well let's get started, Danny."

"Okay." Danny said as he turned the tape recorder
on. "Mr. President, do you feel that the summit will
facilitate an improvement in Russo-American
relations?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn, it's cold outside." CJ remarked to Toby.

"It's Moscow. What did you expect, the French
Riviera?"

"Ha! Ha! You really think you are funny."

"You usually think I am."

"I'm usually not freezing to death. Hey, didn't you
say that you wouldn't let me freeze to death?"

"You could come over here then." Toby said, motioning
for her to join him on the couch.

"I could do that." CJ said as she sat down beside
him.

"Yes you could." Toby replied, as he put his arm
around her. She laid her head against his shoulder.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, as he stroked
her hair.

"You are feeling better now?" He asked after a few
minutes.

"I didn't think you knew about that."

"Charlie told me that you ran out as Danny's
interview was finishing up."

"Yeah, I guess something I ate didn't agree with me."

"How are you feeling now?"

"Tired and I'm still a little nauseous?" CJ said
quietly.

"Don't tell me you are getting sick?"

"Hey, you said in sickness and in health!"

"And this is sickness?"

"Maybe."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't believe this." Toby said, as President
Bartlet was giving his speech at Moscow State
University.

"What?" Sam asked.

"He's rewritten the speech. He's rewritten what I
wrote!"

"That shouldn't surprise you. It's an economic
address. He has a Ph.D. in economics."

"Is he complaining because the speech was rewritten?"
CJ asked as she joined them.

"Yeah." Sam said.

"And after he told me he wouldn't." CJ laughed.

Toby glared at both CJ and Sam.

"I don't know how many times I have told you that
look does not work with me." CJ said.

"I wouldn't want to disappoint you."

"Over what?" CJ asked.

"The look, and my reaction to him rewriting the
speech."

"You are admitting I was right and you were wrong?"

"Yes, now can we please change the subject!"

"Sure."

"The subject can be what I want to talk about?"

"Within reason."

"Okay, I'm going to step in here and break this up
before you get into a fight." Sam said.

"We're not going to get into a fight." CJ and Toby
said at the same time.

"Okay, but it looked like it had the potential."

"Fine." Toby said as he walked away. He walked
towards the area that the press was being kept in
during the speech.

"Toby." Danny called to him. "May I speak with you
a minute?"

"Yeah, but I don't really have any scoops for you."

"That's okay. This is rather personal I'm afraid."

"I don't discuss my personal life with members of the
press." Toby said brusquely.

"Okay, I understand. Look this is off the record. I
was just wondering if you had noticed something."

"What?"

"Well, it's none of my business but CJ seems to be
feeling sick, and the longer we are here the sicker
she is getting."

"Well, you are right it is none of your business.
And she is my wife, so I think I would have to be
blind not to notice she is sick." Toby said before
walking away from Danny.

He found a secluded area in the autotorium and sat
down. CJ's sickness was worrying him more than he
cared to admit. He knew he should talk to her about
it but he didn't know how to bring the subject up.
