ONE HOUR LATER
CJ looked out her office door and noticed everyone had gone home. Josh and Sam went over to the Oval Office to wait for Toby with Leo and the President. CJ decided that she needed to be alone for a little bit, just to take everything in. She sat in her chair and turned to look out the window. She shut her eyes and thanked God.
"Hey," A familiar voice spoke up.
CJ opened her eyes quickly and turned around. She saw Toby standing in her doorway. She noticed him leaning on his left side and noticed the crutches under his arms.
"I've always hated crutches," Toby shrugged.
CJ stood, but didn't speak. She hesitated for a moment, but then walked over to him.
"How are you?" Toby broke the silence and asked.
"If you ever do that to me again," CJ warned, smacking him in the arm.
"I know," Toby looked down.
"Never do that again," CJ said while wrapping her arms around him and hugging him.
"I'm sorry," Toby whispered as he allowed CJ to hug him. He couldn't lift his arms up because the crutches would fall. "But I would do it again."
"I hate when you do this," CJ wiped away the tears that were falling down her face. "You don't need to protect me every minute."
"Yes I do," Toby said simply as CJ looked at him.
"Are you okay?" CJ looked down and saw his leg bandaged.
"They used my leg for shooting practice," Toby joked.
"Don't joke," CJ hit him.
"I'm fine," Toby nodded. "Don't worry."
"I do worry," CJ hugged him again.
"You're too emotional," Toby smiled.
"Toby!" Sam ran up to him and wrapped his arms around his back.
"I'm getting too many hugs," Toby moaned as CJ and Sam hugged him tighter.
"Toby!" Josh rushed over and hugged him from the side.
"Okay," Toby moaned. "This is way too much love for me to handle."
"Let the poor man breath," Jed ordered, walking in CJ's office.
"Thank you sir," Toby took a breath as they let him go.
"It's good to have you back," Jed smiled and patted Toby on the back. "How's the leg?"
"It hurts," Toby said simply.
"I bet," Leo walked in and smiled. "Welcome back."
"Thanks."
"We made you this," Josh handed Toby a certificate.
"What is this?" Toby asked.
"It's the, 'I saved CJ's ass', award," Sam smiled.
"Thanks," CJ rolled her eyes as the guys laughed.
"I'd do it again," Toby winked at CJ.
"What are you planning on doing right now?" Jed asked.
"I'm going to go home and try to forget this all happened,"
"Well, don't let us stop you," Jed smiled, pushing the guys out. "And take tomorrow off."
"I'll be fine," Toby nodded.
"Toby. If I see you in this office tomorrow, I'm going to hurt you," Jed warned and walked out with Sam, Leo, and Josh.
"Yes sir," Toby moaned.
CJ smiled and kissed Toby on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Toby asked, surprised.
"Thank you," CJ whispered.
"I'm thinking that was pretty hard for you to say," Toby joked.
"Not really," CJ shrugged. "But when your leg feels better. I'm still going to kill you."
"I bet," Toby moaned and walked out.
TWO WEEKS LATER
"I'm not eating that stuff!" Rachel snapped.
"Don't let her scare you," Toby limped in with his cane. "Her bark is worse then her bite."
"Toby Ziegler," Rachel smiled. "You want to eat this stuff?"
"No thanks," Toby smirked and walked over to her bedside. "You look good."
"I look like shit," Rachel moaned.
"Yeah, but it looks good on you," Toby joked and kissed her on the forehead.
"It took two weeks for you to come see me," Rachel snapped and hit him.
"I've been busy. I sent flowers," Toby whined.
"Yeah," Rachel smiled. "But they're dead now."
"Shut up," Toby glared.
"How's the leg?"
"It's okay," Toby looked down. "I won't be using it for target practices anymore."
"Very funny," Rachel shook her head.
"I'm glad you're okay," Toby squeezed Rachel's hand a little. "And thanks for protecting me."
"Anytime," Rachel smiled.
"Even though I still got kidnapped," Toby joked.
"Shut up," Rachel glared. "When I get better, I'm going to smack that grin off your face."
"Well, I have you wanting to slap me and CJ wants to kill me. So pretty much I'm screwed."
"Yeah," Rachel smiled.
"How about, when you get better, I take you out to eat something good," Toby pointed to the hospitals food and smirked.
"I would like that," Rachel smiled. "Because I'm going to be one hungry person when I leave here."
"Why?" Toby smiled.
"Because I'm not eating anything they bring me," Rachel said.
"Don't be stubborn," Toby glared.
"Look who's talking," Rachel rolled her eyes.
"I'll take you anywhere you want to go," Toby grinned. "Okay?"
"I can live with that," Rachel smiled.
"Good, now eat your jello," Toby smirked.
"Shut up," Rachel glared.
