Abbey's POV
It's 9.00am on the morning after Georgetown Medical Centre was taken over by two men. Around 6.30 this morning my husband's chief of staff woke us to fill us in on the situation. He informed us that Josh had just blurted out that he and Donna were married. No wonder he looks so devastated. I haven't seen him yet but I am on my way down there just now to speak to him and see if I can do anything for him.
Entering the bullpen of the Deputy Chief of Staff it is obvious from the atmosphere that everyone is taking Donna's situation to heart. Everyone is working, but there is silence filling the area instead of the usual hustle and bustle. The door to Josh's office is closed and from what I have heard it has been closed for the better part of the last day. I don't blame him, if this was my husband or any of my daughters, I would be hauled up in an office not speaking to anyone either.
Knocking the door gently I push it open and peer in. He is sitting with his head in his hands looking lost. "Josh."
"Mrs B." He says immediately standing.
"Sit. You look like you need it." I say walking across to the desk take a perch on the edge of the chair. "Leo tells us some interesting news."
"Thought he might. If it's all right with you, I'd like to wait till she's here before explaining anything." He answers.
"Of course, just know that I am up in the residence if you need me." I stand making my way towards the door.
"Thanks ma'am." I leave the room feeling very guilty about leaving him there.
Donna's POV
I feel like we have been here forever. The sun started going down again and I pray that we are not going to be in here another night I don't think I could cope with that. I haven't slept, I've been to the toilet once since yesterday morning and all we have had to drink is water and a few crackers to eat. The boys don't seem to know what they want, although when they found my White House ID they were very impressed.
The only place I want to be right now is in my husband's arms. I can't even run to him when we get out or our cover will be blown. I hope he's all right.
Josh's POV
They are finally going in. The time has just gone two am and we are still awaiting the hostages being freed. SWAT are on their way into the building, even though the captors haven't asked for anything, the police decided it was time to go in.
My wife has been in there for almost forty-eight hours and all I want is for her to be in my arms. Is that a bad thing? CJ is standing by my left shoulder, Toby at my right. They both seem as nervous as me.
Everyone was rather shocked when I blurted out that Donna and I were married but no one has said anything. I think they will wait until things have calmed down. Leo has given us today off. He would give us longer but since this happened everything else has gone on the back burner.
They've gone in, I saw them burst into the building. Hang on Donna, you're almost out.
Donna's POV
The doors to the medical centre burst open and four member of the SWAT team stormed in. The boys didn't know what to do so gave them up straight away. Another doctor has come in and checked us all over giving us the all clear to allow us to leave and I can't wait.
Josh's POV
The doors to the medical centre open and three members of the SWAT team emerge with the two suspects. They look like young boys, how on earth did they mange to cause all this? Just behind them I see Donna's doctor and a nurse that I don't recognise, but just behind them is the woman I want to see. "Donna!" I call out breaking free of Toby and CJ's grasp.
She sees me and gives me a small, tired smile. She looks exhausted, her hair a little dishevelled but to me she is still the most beautiful woman in the world. As I reach her, my arms go immediately around her. She is a little stiff until I tell her. "It's all right, they know." Her body immediately sags against my own and the sob she has been holding in escapes from her mouth. Her knees buckle but I am there to catch her. "It's all right baby, it's over now. I've got you." I tell her as we sink to ground and I cover her in kisses.
CJ and Toby must have joined us at some point but I have no clue until Toby lays his hand on my shoulder. "Lets get you home." He says in the usual gruff voice, but if I am not mistaken I can see tears in his eyes. Donna looks up fro her place in my shirt and gives them both a small smile.
In the car CJ begins to drive before turning to us both in the back seat. "Where are you guys living these days?"
"My place." I tell her as I kiss Donna's head again.
The rest of the drive is done in silence; the only noise is the occasional sniffle from Donna. Nods of acknowledgement were given as CJ pulled up in front of our building. I helped Donna from the car and up the stairs where still nothing was said. She walked straight to the bedroom and pealed the clothes from her body. Clad in her panties and favourite tank top she fell into bed looking utterly exhausted. I watched as her eyes closed and her breathing evened out as her head hit the pillow. Sweet dreams baby, sweet dreams.
Donna's POV
I can feel consciousness slowly creeping into my mind. I feel like I have been asleep forever. These last few days have really taken their toll, but the one point that sticks in my head was when I was in Josh's arms and he told me everyone knew.
The light is so bright as I open my eyes. But there in front of me is the best sight, my husband. "Hi beautiful." I almost start to cry again. How is it he can do that to me with just two words?
"Hi." I manage to squeak, before he I on the bed beside me and have me in his arms. Snuggling into him I can smell all things Josh and I couldn't be happier.
"How you doing?" He asks and I can only nod my head against his chest. I am frightened to talk. "I was so scared Donna. I didn't know what was going on."
"You had no control over it." I manage to say. I know how much he hates not being in control.
"Exactly." He is rubbing my back in the most soothing way. This is why I love lying in his arms. He maybe on the go all the time at work, but at home he is the most relaxed person. "So everyone knows, huh?"
"I managed to keep it together until about four thirty or so yesterday morning and then I lost it and blurted out that you were my wife." He laughed slightly. "Everyone was just staring at me as it they couldn't believe it. The president wants to speak to us in the morning."
"That's all right, I have a letter to give him any way." I speak of the letter I wrote on my wedding day.
"What letter?"
"My resignation. I did tell you I wrote it."
"Are you sure you want to do that?" He asks as he snuggles me further into his arms.
"Yeas, especially after what the doctor told me." I say remembering he doesn't know yet.
"I forgot to ask what she said." He sighs. I know his mind is overworking now. "I didn't forget, other things were just at the front of my mind."
"Well, I'm going to make you a daddy." I say as I look into his eyes.
I watch as he takes in the information and then as if a switch is turned in his head, he says, "Your pregnant." He smiles as he pulls me even closer.
"Yeah, take it your pleased?"
"Never happier. I have you back in my arms and your making me a dad." He kisses me. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." I reply.
A.N – So sorry this has taken so long to get out. But I have been celebrating a little as well. Got engaged recently and couldn't concentrate on anything else. Managed to get it down though so thought I'd post it. Hope you like it.
