The three men that the president had asked for entered the room and looked at him with quiet desperation as they approached him.

"My men of men!" their former boss crows as he looks at the three men he remembers as pranksters and hard workers as they approach him.

"Hello Jed," Sam says as he sits in a chair next to his bed, Josh takes up the space in the window seat of the room, right next to the bed as he watches the snow fall, and Toby takes his stance pacing at the foot of the bed.

"Toby, I heard you and Charlie had to pull Tess away from her boyfriend this evening?" Jed says with a smile.

"Yea, she had a distinct difficulty leaving that boy," Toby says with a small smile.

"What do you think of him?" Josh asks.

"He seemed like a stand up guy, he was honest and shocked when she revealed the truth about you and Sam to him. He said that there was a paparazzi picture taken last week," Toby said.

"Yea, they've been following her to see if she'll lead them to Ten," Sam said.

"I hate them," Josh said rubbing his face in his hands, "I hate the fact that they follow two of my kids around."

"Any way, forget the paparazzi," Jed says as he rolls his eyes at Josh's response to the people that follow his daughter around. "I want to meet this boyfriend of her's, he seems like a stand up guy and I want to meet him before anything…"

"You're not going to die," Sam says as he stands up and walks to Josh.

"Sam…" Jed says warningly, knowing that only he and Abbey are the only people that can take that tone with the current President. "I am going to die, and sooner rather then later, and I want to meet this boy that Toby and Charlie had to pull Tess away from before I go, I want to make sure he's good for her."

Josh smiles knowing that former President Bartlett is right. "We'll get him vetted," is his only response.

"Good, now I need to sleep so leave me you crazy guys."

"Good night Jed," all three say in unison as they walk out of the room, hoping that their former boss would make it through the night.
