Author's note: The story was supposed to be written from this morning as the beginning then a long flash back, but I thought it would take away a lot of the emotional impact if I did it that way. Santos, Annabeth and Leo were all going to make appearances in the chapter as well, but I decided to cut them out, it just drag it out. Although I did think Annabeth saying Will's line near the end of the story would be funnier. Oh the show Donna is talking about is "Lost" (Besides the West Wing, easily one of the best shows on TV)

Honestly this story was stuck in my head while I was finishing up Kismet, but when I went to write it I really didn't love it. But if you enjoyed it please let me know. I love feedback and it might make me write more. Thank you to everyone who left steady feedback, Kursk, Lu78, JDfanatic, miss jasadin. You guys ROCK! Feedback helps all writers write better so thank you for doing a service to the whole FF community.

Anyway the new season is up an running, and that means all new Fan Fiction.

MORNING

Donna led Josh back to her room. There had been enough talking for one evening. They undressed each other, kissed fresh and newly exposed body parts. Traced the other's scars and learned each other. Recalling the times they might have lost each, reminded painfully of how strong the other is, and grateful for each second they get for now on. They did not however, make love. Had they been younger and not through as much, it might have been a possibility. But the night had always been their time, and it first night shouldn't be tainted with awkward first time sex.

They slept in each other arms, heat of their body's sharply contrast the cold air of the hotel room. After everything they had been through it was a miracle they could trust each other enough to sleep, but there they were. The truly amazing thing wasn't sleeping but waking. It was a new day, perhaps the first day of something new and incredible.

It was in the morning Josh made love to Donna for the first time.

Basking in the afterglow Donna blanketed herself on Josh. He pushed her hair back from her face, his voice was low and husky, asked "Do you know how much I love you?"

"About as much as I love you." She smiled back. His fingers ran up and down her back.

"I'm hungry."

"Me too."

Plans were set, Josh was going to get his clothes from his room, come back here while Donna takes her shower. Breakfast would be provided by room service. As Donna was entering the bathroom, Josh confessed that in heated argument he told Amy about Cliff. "The only reason why I'm with you is because of Caley." The argument was actually at lot more derogatory, but Josh didn't want to go into details.

She kissed his forehead and headed into the bathroom for her shower, leaving Josh alone for a few minutes. This would turn out to be a fatal flaw.

Josh laid on the bed basking in the glow of his new happy life. When he heard his cell phone he instinctive answered it. "Lyman."

"Josh?" A familiar voice answered.

"Toby, how's it going?"

"Amy called me up drunk last night."

"Really? Man, what did you do to end up the drunken phone call list?"

"I don't know but Will called me too."

"Did they say anything interesting?"

"Amy questioned her quality of her integrity. Which is non-existent, or at least in my opinion. Will called to yell at me, because yelling at Donna isn't very nice. Or at least I think that's what he said."

Josh laughed, "Rough night."

"Yeah." Toby paused. "You probably had a rough night too."

Josh shrugged, although he knew Toby couldn't see it. "I don't know it had its good moments and bad ones."

"But it ended on a good one right?"

Josh smiled, "Yeah."

"I guess I could ask you what happened, but a better question would be why you are answering Donna's cell phone at 6:00 in the morning."

Josh froze. Slowly he lifted the cell phone from his head and glazed at it. It WAS Donna's phone.. Josh had never discussed with Donna about telling other people. Were they going to tell people? It doesn't matter because Toby KNOWS now. "Igottogo.Talktoyoulater.Bye."

Josh started to panic. What if he tells people? Will Donna be mad? Did I ruin everything? Was that a record, ruining a relationship within the first hour?

There was a knock at the door. Room service. Coffee. Josh needed coffee.

He rubbed his eyes as he opened the door.

"Josh?"

His heart stopped. "Will?"

"What are you doing here?"

Think quick! "What do you mean?"

A small smirk crossed Will's face. "I'm picking up my cell phone from Donna. What are you doing in her room?"

Josh had been in politics for way to long to let something like this stumble him. Josh waves his hand, "No, you see this is my room. There are two elevators; I know it can be confusing…"

Will pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket as evidence, his smirk only grew larger, "but she wrote her room number on the paper…"

Josh examined the paper, "That's not a five, but an eight. She has very distinctive handwriting."

Will stared Josh down not buying any of this. As Josh was about to say his goodbyes a voice from his past rang in his ears.

"Funny to find you here Lyman."

Josh was barely able to choke out the word, "Sam?"

Sam shared the same devilish smile that was now plastered all over Will's face, "See I went to the hotel receptionist to see where I could find my very best friend and she willingly handed over your room number. I knocked and knocked but no answer. I assumed you were in the shower so I decided to head over to my new boss' room to see if she wanted breakfast. But instead of Donna, I find you."

Josh didn't want to reply to anything Sam was insinuating so he used an old stand-by method, misdirection. "But what are YOU doing here?"

Sam placed his hand on the door frame, "Well, someone kidnapped my friend and replaced him with a raving jackass. So Donna hired me to help me find him again."

There was softness in Josh's voice, "Donna hired you, for me?"

"You and the campaign."

Josh could no longer hide his love stricken goofy smile. Lost in his own thoughts he didn't see his breakfast coming down the hallway before it was too late. "Room service, Mr. Moss."

It's the Mr. Moss comment that makes Sam and Will burst out in laughter. Josh tells the waiter to leave everything where it is and he'll take it inside. The secret Josh was trying to hide failed miserably when the cat, meaning Donna, came out of the bag, meaning bathroom.

"Is breakfast here yet?" Donna asked putting an earring on. She looked up to see Sam and Will waving at her. "Oh." She stopped in her tracks. "Hi guys."

"Hi Donna." They said in unison.

"How was your flight, Sam?" She took her place next to Josh and started with small talk.

"Fine. Just Fine."

"Did you watch that show I told you about?" Misdirection quickly became Donna method of protection as well.

"Yeah, but what the hell is a polar bear doing an a tropical island?"

Donna starts to count in her head, preparing herself for Sam inevitable rant, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

"Sure I get that the island is supposed to be mysterious. But do some research polar bears live in the northern hemisphere. They put that show on the air, hell, they'll put any show about lawyers and doctors and Las Vegas on, but a show about crime fighting pilgrims! Nothing!"

Will blinked at Sam, "You didn't pitch Hollywood a show about crime fighting pilgrims, did you?"

"Will, the show sells itself."

It's was the shared sound coming from the couple in the doorway, laughter, that made Sam stop staring at Will. It had been a while since anyone had heard that noise. There was tenderness as Josh and Donna made eye contact. Sweetness as Josh hands brushed the wet hair from her face. It was a private moment and Sam felt like he was invading it.

Sam swallowed, "Is this for real?" He pointed to the two lovers, "Because I've waited for this a long time. I don't think I can handle it if it isn't real."

Donna smiled, "it's real."

Will nodded, "Good. Josh if you hurt her I'll fuck you up."

"Thanks for the heads up." Josh smiled.

"The breakfast is getting cold." Donna pointed.

"You should eat it now. See ya at the morning meeting." Josh pulled the cart into the room and shut the door behind him.

Sam and Will walked down the hallway, either speaking, just feeling satisfied, getting something they had been waiting for. When they reached the second elevator, Will spoke, "Hey do you feel like finishing up that speech we've been working on for years?"

Sam smile and pulled out his cell phone. "I'll call Toby."
