Pairing: Leo/Abbey

Disclaimers: I did not create these characters; there are property of Aaron Sorkin, Thomas Schlamme and John Wells. I am just fiddling with them so don't freak out.

Additional Disclaimer: I must also say that I was truly inspired to write this after reading Leli's Abbey/Leo fanfics. I strongly recommend you read them here. I nicked a couple of ideas, so read those fics and see if you can see the influence.

Summary: Leo and Abbey deal with the consequences of the MS scandal and subsequent hearings to their careers, lives and relationship with each other and their individual relationship with Jed. One night together will change everything.

This story takes place right after the episode entitled "Bartlett for America". For the sake of the story the timeline has been changed. Instead of the last day of the hearing before the holiday break being the day before Christmas Eve it's a two days earlier. Abbey has already gone to Manchester earlier that day to be joined by Jed, two days later, the day before Christmas Eve. Jed gave Leo the gift, just like at the end of the episode.
