Chapter Three

Late March 2003

Josh and Donna have just returned from their honeymoon. The president was so ecstatic about the two of them getting married he told them take as much time as they wanted since they for one earned the time off and second Leo was bringing in somebody to help out while hey were gone. They had arrived back late last night from their trip around the world. Josh had taken Donna to all of the places she ever wanted to go he took her to Ireland to visit family and to London to visit Abbey Road since they were both big Beatles fans. The highlight of the trip was when Josh took her to Milan and the Vatican City granted he was not really a big religious person he knew Donna was catholic and would appreciate the gesture.

Josh woke up with a wistful smile on his face as he felt Donna lying next to him. Just the sight makes him remember the first he had woken up like this as husband and wife.

They had arrived in Ireland the night before and once they found their way to the hotel Donna collapsed on the bed and went straight to sleep which Josh did moments later. He woke up the next morning before Donna had and he just propped his head up on this hand and just stared at the beautiful blonde haired, alabaster skinned Donnatella Moss-Lyman. No matter how many times he saw her and had heard her tell him how she felt he couldn't get over the feeling that he had to have done something right to get her in his life. While being the object of attention was nice Donna slowly started to wake.

"J-. Josh? What time is it?" she asks with a gravelly voice from non-use.

"I believe its after 7 in the morning. Can you believe we can't even sleep in on our honeymoon?" Josh asks with a smile.

"I'm not surprised. So what are we doing today since you have found the ways of planning something and keeping it away from me? Or was your idea just to stay in bed and ravage each other not that it's not something that I couldn't get in the mood for." Donna says with a seductive and gravely voice.

"As sexy as that sounds I think you might like my surprise for this part of the honey moon. What would you say if I were to take you to visit some family you haven't seen since you were little and are not under the influence of your parents?" Josh asks steeling himself for an explosion he thinks might come.

"Are you kidding me? I mean seriously are you kidding me you found my Uncle Jack and Aunt Catherine!?" Donna squeals with happiness towards her husband.

"Well my darling Donnatella, remember who you are married to. I am after all the third most powerful man in the United States and the State Department does work for me you know." Josh speaks matter of factly.

Donna launches herself at him and pins him to be and showers him with kisses of love and happiness which soon turn into hunger and passion and need.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Josh and Donna have just pulled up to a stone cottage in a village outside of Dublin. Donna is practically bouncing with glee in her seat. Once they get out she goes over to Josh and hugs him tightly.

"Thank you so much Joshua. I love you this is perfect." Donna says wistfully.

"Hey no thanks required I love you too and I know how much it hurt you with what your parents did to you. Now shall we go and see your family?" he says

"Okay" she says as she takes his hand in hers and laces their fingers together.

They walk over to the cottage and Josh knocks on the door and they wait a few moments but no answer so he knocks a second time and no answer and just as he goes to knock a third time the door opens slowly to reveal an older gentleman with thinning gray hair and a white beard that looked like it belonged to Santa.

"Can I help you two? If you are trying to sell something I suggest you go somewhere else cause I'm not buying." He states as he goes to shut the door.

"We are looking for a Jack and Catherine Moss." Donna states before he can get the door shut

"Well, I am Jack Moss but Catherine passed away last year who are you and how do you know my name?" He pressed angrily

"Sir, my name is Joshua Lyman and this is my wife Donna Moss-Lyman by any chance do you have a brother named Patrick Moss?" Josh asks him while the man looks at them

"Yes, yes I do is something wrong? How do you know him?" He pressed on

"Uncle Jack its me Donnatella don't you remember me??" Donna asks a bit fearfully

"I remember having a niece by the name of Donnatella but her father called me three years ago and told me she passed away during that assassination attempt on the President... Donnatella is that really you. Why would your parents say such a thing come in please we have a lot to talk about." He asks softly

"Thank you sir. I am sorry if this seems confusing to you but we are on our honeymoon and I wanted to give Donna a little treat by bringing her to see you since it has been so long since you two have seen each other or talked to one another." Josh says

"Uncle Jack I think I know why they told you that but first what happened to Aunt Catherine?" Donna asks

"She passed away from breast cancer she had it four about two years before she finally couldn't fight it anymore. She always thought the world of you. She said you would go on to do great things and if you are still working for the president then I am sure you are doing great things." He says

"Well the reason why they would have told you something like that is because they didn't like the fact that I left home to go work on President Bartlett's campaign. And then when he won and I went to work with Josh and the President Bartlett in Washington they didn't like it one bit and pretty much disowned me. That became very clear on my wedding day. How are you doing?" She asks

"I have been better but I get by. Well since you two are here let me get you some tea." He says as he gets up

They sat and talked over tea for hours till it was getting dark and Josh said they had to get back to the hotel cause they were leaving the next morning for the next part of their honeymoon. Which Josh wouldn't tell Donna what they were doing next?

"Josh, I can tell you that my brother and his wife are idiots for not seeing the love you two have. Thank you for bringing my favorite niece back into my life. I can't tell you how much it meant to see her again.." Jack says with a wistful smile on his face.

"I am sure I understand how it feels. I know how much family means to Donna and just the look on her face when I told her we were going to come and visit you today told me she felt the same way you do. Just try and keep in touch this time cause you are more than welcome to come visit us in Washington. Heck Donna could give you a tour of the White House if you wanted. I am sorry about your wife. I am sure she was an incredible woman." Josh says softly as Donna returns from getting their coats.

"Uncle Jack please come and visit us in the states if money is a problem we can provide transportation with out any problems. It would mean a lot if you came and visit us after the baby is born." Donna says as she hugs her Uncle Jack

"I think I will do just that. Now you two be careful heading back into town." He admonished them good-naturedly.
