This is a fic that I got the idea for while listening
to Case of the ex by Mya.
Its set after the re-election which Bartlet won.
All charcters are notmine.
Feedback is defiantly welcome just be kind as its my first fic.
***
Its 3:30am and shes on the phone again. I knew who
it was the moment I woke to the sound of the phone
ringing. No one else phones this late not even if
theres a national emergency they just page Josh and
off he goes. Everyone else knows that Mia will wake up
if she hears the phone and Josh will kill them so no
one risks it. But Mandy has never been the most
considerate person so a small detail like trying to
keep Mia asleep probably doesnt occur to her.
Josh shoots me an apologetic look when he sees Im
awake and heads for the bathroom and closes the door
as its pretty much the only sound proof room in the
house and even if she doesnt think about our
daughter, he does.
I roll over and stare in to her bassinet. She really
is perfect and shes got her fists in little balls I
think shes about to wake up from the whimpers shes
making
Yep here we go. I make soothing noises and rub
her back as I lift her up and settle her in the crook
of my arm
God, she really is perfect and to think
shes mine amazes me.
I walk into the almost finished nursery and sink into
the large wooden rocking chair that the First Lady and
President brought us and continue to stare at my
daughter. Then the bathroom door opens and Josh walks
towards me and kisses me on the forehead and then
bends down and does the same to our daughter.
Im sorry Donna. I told her not to call again.
Hopefully this time shell listen.
What did she want this time? I ask him as I walk
back into the bedroom and place Mia into her basket
before getting into bed myself.
Josh follows suit and soon Im wrapped in his arms
again. My favorite place to be. Oh, you know Mandy.
She lost another client and got drunk and so called
me. I sigh again and close my eyes. Youd think that
Mandys constant calls would bother me but in all
honesty they dont. I mean why should they?
Oh, I know she wants him back, but Josh is my husband
and he loves me so I know I dont have to worry.
Shes beautiful isnt she? I open my eyes again and
see that Josh is looking at Mia and that is the other
reason I know hed never leave, He loves our daughter
way too much.
Yeah she is. Josh closes his eyes and I do the same.
I love you Donna.
I love you to Josh. Hes kisses me softly and then I
drift back to sleep in the arms of my husband.
