Title: Recess is Over- Madame Secretary
Rated: K+
Author's Note: The Last in the Josie McGarry story arch (after Magic number.) I like feedback. I know a lot of people probably haven't been reading this but I thought it need closure and I'm going to be tying Josie into my next Leo/Jenny story so I figured that this would help explain a couple of things. I hope you enjoy it.
Spoilers The Portland Trip.
Synopsis: Josie and Leo talk after she takes her position in the Cabinet.
"So how are you adjusting to political life?"
"You tell me."
"I think my little sister is doing fine."
"Well let's analyze that, my husband left me, my kids hate me, and I almost passed out during my first cabinet meeting. Yeah I'm fine."
"Don't be so hard on yourself. You almost passed out because you had the flu during your first cabinet meeting and oh, by the way your kids don't hate you."
"Then why don't they talk to me? We're in the same house, I take care of them but, they don't talk to me."
"They have to get used to it give them time."
"You're right. I just feel like the evil stepmother. I took them away from their friends, their father left me. I really wasn't ready for that."
"I know. I've been there remember. Just relax."
"Okay, hey the pilot program for the teachers looks good."
"Yeah. Toby still isn't sure how we're gonna pay for it ."
"It's a good idea Leo. It will get people interested. It will offer people an education and at the same time help others get an education. That's what we need.
"Yeah. Josie."
"What?"
"You're really good at this you know that."
"Yes I do."
"Congratulations, Madame Secretary."
"Thank you Mr. McGarry."
