Author's notes: Final installment of the Attack of the Ex's. This one is from Will's POV mostly. I added the last part from Donna's POV, just to tie things up.

Then Everything Changed

Chapter 17

So I am stuck with the baby sitting the bitch. Donna left me note on her computer screen, "15 million for child care. Vinick is offering 25." Amy is underselling us. She's already thinks we have lost the election and has placed all her support to Vinick. I swear to god if she starts talking I am going to…

"I can't believe the great Josh Lyman was taken down by a children's movie."

I have always liked Josh. He never turned his back on me when I turned my back on Toby. He's been like an older brother, hell, he's been better to me then my own older brothers.

"I don't like that part of the movie either. It's the feeling of thinking someone you care about is dead. It's the hope that they aren't and the harsh reality that they are. Zoë was missing for 60 hours. I know how Marlin feels which is why I didn't like that scene." She sits quietly for a few minutes letting my words sink in. We both know it isn't Zoë I was talking about.

Josh comes storming in. "Don't say a word Amy."

"Is he pissed?" What part of don't say a word doesn't she get.

"You insulted his wife and children. I'd be pissed too."

"You don't have a wife or children." He glares at her.

"No, but I have loyalty to my party and my friends, which you have neither."

"What are you accusing me of?"

"You sold us out. You're backing Vinick. You made us an offer of 15 million when Vinick already offered 25. This way when you support him in the fall it will be because of the money."

"You can't blame me for this. You candidate is a joke. You can't win."

"So you throw all your values out the window and jump on the Vinick bandwagon?"

"And you figured this out because of your little assistant told you? You trust what she has to say. She left you and ran to Russell." Amy has forgotten I am in the room. She places her hand on Josh's chest.

"Don't touch me." He recoils. Her hand withdraws but lingers in the air.

"She hurt you and you let her back in. She screwed you over much more then I did. How can you have loyalty for someone who you can't even trust?"

At this point Donna has entered the office, her eyes icy, icier if possible then this morning.

"Donna left for a good reason." She did? She never told me why. I just assumed it was for her career. I don't even think he knows why she left. "She never betrayed her party either."

"She worked for Russell and Will that's bad enough." Hey I am standing right here! "She's using you Josh."

He scoffs, "No, Amy you used me. Donna supports me."

Here is what I have noticed about men and women when it comes to fighting. Men will beat the crap out of each other and all will be fine in ten minutes. Women rarely ever come to physical blows. Their fights are mental and far more damaging. They never forget or forgive. It is in their nature to be protective, you don't screw with me or mine kind of attitude.

Amy fights dirty; she uses old ammunition, insecurities, and history to attack. She's going to use her relationship with Josh as her weapon of choice.

Donna fights clean, which is one of the reason why she resented the Russell campaign so much. Her arsenal is her current relationship with Josh (yeah like I'm blind), but she's too good to use it. She will stand and listen to every cheap shot Amy throws out there and take it with dignity. When I grow up I want to be Donna, you know but without the breasts and girly parts.

"Amy I think you should go before you say something that will embarrass you." Donna's voice is arctic. Her tone is one I have only heard once, some secret female voice only used on other females.

"Tell me J." Donna and Josh both flinch. J isn't a name it's a letter. "Were you fucking her while you were fucking me?"

"Only in my…"

"Josh." Everyone knows what he is about to say. Donna in her infinite kindness wants to shield Amy from it. "Amy, I think you should leave on your own before I have security escort you out."

Amy walks out and slams the door. Josh and Donna make eye contact. I decide its time to make my exit. I inform her to e-mail me her speech and I'll look it over in the other room.

"To the victor goes the spoils."


Jackson knocks on the office door, clearly he heard everything. "Ms. Moss I just want you to know, if you ever need me to kill someone for you, we need to create some sort of a codeword or secret hand gesture." I laugh and Josh smirks.

"You should get some lunch Jackson."

"I can't leave you, Ms. Moss."

"Well, what if I promise to stay here until you get back."

"You have my word, I won't let her leave." Josh continues to smirk.

"I just hope I return to you both fully clothed." Jackson mutters under his breath.

"Knock first." Josh replies. As the door closes he sweeps me into his arms and kisses me passionately. He doesn't let me go until Jackson returns from lunch. Will was right. In the epic battle of Donna and Amy for Josh's affection, I am the victor and the spoils are wonderful.
