Hello friends! Here is the multi-chap fic I have been hinting at. This is just the prologue, to gauge interest. If you want me to go for it, please let me know!

A few years out of law school, just before the Bartlet for America campaign, I made the decision to dedicate my life to politics. Anything that could get in the way of that was not an option for me. I was not about to put my career on hold to find a wife and start a family. Not for me.
That was until I met Donna.
She essentially hired herself as my assistant, and wiggled her way deep into my life. And I fell in love. And so did she. But we never acted on it, because we knew it would have to end, and that would have been worse than never starting it in the first place.
So we kept it professional. We were always more, but we kept it professional in our own Josh-and-Donna way.
We spent over nine long years of being us, but never the way we wanted it to be. Until I kissed her a few weeks before Election Day. And then Election Day itself. And Hawaii.
We got engaged in March of President Santos' first year in office. We got married that October.
Thirteen months later, on the two-year anniversary of the first time we made love, Donna told me she was pregnant. Ben arrived on July 4, 2009.
President Santos won reelection. Donna and I are still Chiefs of Staff to the most powerful couple in the world.
My life is pretty amazing.
But today, Donna made it even better.
Baby Lyman Number Two is on the way.
