A/N: This was originally written in '01, and co-authored; unfortunately I've lost contact with the other author over the years and if she sees this and wants her name on it all she has to do is email me and I will gladly put it on. This is unbeta'd too, so any mistakes are all mine, but then again if this was for profit it would be professionally edited and I'd be making lots of money, but since I am not it's just as it is.

"Hospitality"

Chapter One

Written by: Vangoghadmirer

Jed had woke up that morning in a cold sweat; nothing had been like this before; he felt like his whole world was going to end. He glances at Abbey who was still peacefully sleeping and completely unaware of Jed being awake. Jed slowly gets up and out of the bed; he starts walking towards the bathroom. But he stops dead in his tracks, something truly wasn't right but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Jed, what's wrong?"

Jed looks over to the voice and snaps back to reality.

"I'm fine, I just feel like I'm missing something."

"So, what's on your agenda today?"

"Not much, just saving the world. What's on yours?"

"It's just my usual overseas trip I'll be gone for a few weeks," she smiles. "Are you going to miss me?"

"Of course I am. Now you better get up and get going."

"I am," she tosses off the sheets and gets up.

Abbey walks over to him and wraps her arms around him. "When you find what you're missing tell me." She kisses him before letting go and venturing into the bathroom.

"Hey, I'll stop by the office before I leave." She calls from the bathroom.

"Okay."

Jed leaves the bedroom.

He walks into the Oval Office where most of the senior staff are already waiting.

"Morning, Mr. President," Sam states.

"Good Morning, so what's on the agenda today?"

"Nothing much, sir," Leo speaks up.

"You've got a press briefing at 10:30," CJ announces.

"Okay, where's this trip my wife is going on?"

"Lebanon, sir," CJ answers.

"At what time?"

"Right before you're to do the press briefing."

The staff leaves and President Bartlet starts his daily grind of the usual stuff. Before long Abbey walks into the office.
