The Funny Thing Is
by: Rhiannon & AJ
Hours later, Jed and Abbey lay perfectly still. Wrapped in each other's arms,
nothing else in the world had any importance at all. Both were content to
forget about everything and everybody else ... if just for a little while.
Jed moved his hand and began running his hand through her hair. They remained
perfectly quiet for a long time. Finally, Jed broke the silence, "Abbey?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you marry me?"
Abbey blinked and then looked up at him, "I think I hit you harder than I
thought."
"I mean it Abbey, will you marry me?" Jed repeated the question.
"Umm ... baby," Abbey said. "We're already married."
"I know that Abigail," Jed replied. "Marry me again."
Abbey smiled up at him, "Okay ... name the time and place, Jed Bartlet ...
and I'll be there."
"That sounded vaguely familiar to me," Jed remarked.
"It should," Abbey retorted.
Jed laughed, "I love you, you know that?"
"I have doubted many things in my life, Jed... But that has never, ever been
one of them." Abbey replied, kissing him softly.
It was at that moment that a thought occurred to Jed, "Damn..."
"What?"
"Damn, damn, damn..."
"What?" Abbey asked again.
Jed looked at her, "What day is today?"
"Wednesday, why-" Abbey stopped short, remembering what her husband already
had. "Damn."
"Come on, let's go." Jed groaned as they rose from bed.
"Jed, it took us forever to schedule this meeting!" Abbey exclaimed.
"Yes, I know this." Jed responded. "Hurry up, or it'll take us an eternity to
reschedule it!"
