Toby turned and kissed CJ’s forehead as she moved her
head against his shoulder.
“I fell asleep didn’t I?” CJ whispered.
“Yeah, you fell asleep.” Toby replied.
“How long?”
“Hour and a half.”
“I’m sorry I fell asleep.”
“It’s okay. It was nice to hold you again.” Toby
said.
“Maybe that was the reason I could sleep again,”
“You haven’t been sleeping well either?”
“No, hold on a minute either?
“I wasn’t sleeping well. It surprises me that you
weren’t sleeping too. Everytime I looked in on you,
you were asleep.”
“Everytime I looked in on you, you were asleep.” CJ
said. “It kinda made me a little mad that you could
sleep and I couldn’t.” CJ laughed.
“We are fine now, aren’t we?” Toby asked.
“Yeah, we’re fine.” CJ replied.
“Good.”
“Why?”
“I’ve missed you.” Toby said.
“I’ve missed you too.” CJ replied.
“You think we should do something about that?” Toby
asked.
“Yes, I do.” CJ said sighing as she felt his arms go
around her and pull her closer to him.
“So, do I.” Toby said. Then he began to kiss her
passionately. She kissed him back just as
passionately.
As they were kissing, Toby pulled her up from the
couch. Still kissing her, he led her towards the
bedroom. “I can’t seem to get enough of kissing you.”
Toby said between kisses.
“Do you hear me complaining?" CJ laughed and kissed
him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CJ stirred a little bit in Toby’s arms. She glanced
at him and saw that he was still awake. She laid her
head against his chest and smiled to herself when she
felt him rest his chin on her head.
“How long have you had this planned?” Toby asked.
“Since yesterday.” CJ replied.
“Was last night part of your plan?”
“When you kissed me?”
“Yeah.”
“No, that was a spontaneous decision.” CJ said and
lifted her head up to look at him. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Toby said and drew her back down
against him. “Go to sleep. I promise you, you’ll be
in my arms when you wake up.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late Saturday afternoon when CJ and Toby
arrived at the residence to pick up Meghan.
“I guess things are back to normal with you.” Abbey
said when they walked in holding hands.
“Yeah.” Toby said. “I hope Meghan wasn’t any
trouble?”
“No, she wasn’t Toby. She’s such a sweet baby. She’s
no problem at all.” Abbey said.
When Meghan saw her parents come into the room she
ran to them. Or rather she tried. Although she had
mastered walking, she had not totally mastered running
yet. She stumbled and fell before she got to CJ and
Toby. Toby picked her up. “I think she missed us.”
He said to CJ.
“I think so too.” CJ laughed. They sat down on the
couch and Abbey sat down in the chair
“Do you want to show Mommy and Daddy what you did
this weekend?” Abbey asked Meghan. “Sit her down on
the floor, Toby.” Abbey said.
Toby sat Meghan down and she immediately went for
Abbey’s shoes. Meghan sat down in front of them and
put her feet in the shoes, which were high heeled.
Meghan’s foot fit inside the flat portion of the shoe.
“She’s not going to walk in those is she?” Toby
asked.
Just then as if to answer her father’s question,
Meghan stood up and started to walk towards him still
wearing Abbey’s shoes.
“She’s going to get into my shoes now isn’t she?” CJ
asked.
“Don’t let it surprise you if she does.” Abbey
laughed.
“I won’t.” CJ said.
“We should be going.” Toby said. “I’ll get Meghan’s
stuff.”
After Toby had left the room, Abbey turned to CJ and
said. “I take it everything is fine between you two
now?”
“Better than fine.”
“Really?” Abbey said.
“Let’s just say the making up was almost worth the
fight.” CJ said as she picked Meghan up.
“They usually are CJ.” Abbey laughed.
CJ just smiled at Abbey as she and Meghan left. Toby
was standing out in the hallway. “I heard what you
said to Mrs. Bartlet.” He said.
“You did?”
“Yeah, the making up was almost worth the fight.”
“But I wouldn’t want to go through a fight like that
again to get to the making up.” CJ said.
“Neither would I, CJ.” Toby said lightly brushing
her lips with his. “Neither would I.”
The end.
