Donna's POV
I am starting to feel huge. It's not fair. But I am pregnant. I am also alone and have been for almost two weeks. The President called me about three weeks ago to ask my permission for my husband to go to England for a little bit of time. The conversation is one to laugh at I think.
The phone rang throughout the Lyman household. Me being the only one home levered herself off the sofa to answer it. "Hello."
"Donna." It was a voice I knew all too well.
"Mr President, this is a surprise. To what do I deserve this honour?" I joke slightly with my surrogate father.
"You may not think of me in that way when I tell you why I am on the phone." He says the tone of his voice giving it away.
"Where's he going and for how long?" I sigh.
"Great Britain and it shouldn't be for long, but it might."
"There's nothing I can do but thanks for giving me the heads up." I am a little annoyed, my husband is disappearing and I am weeks away from graduating. "Will he be home in time for my graduation?"
"I hope so. Donna, Abbey and I never got to tell you how proud we are of you for doing your course. It's so wonderful to have new and great minds coming into the working world."
"Sir, I've been in the working world for a while."
"I know but you know what I mean?"
"That I do and thank you for your lovely words. Please thank Mrs Bartlett too." I tell him before feeling the need to go and use the bathroom, again!
"Now how are you feeling? Abbey asked me to ask you. She thinks I'll forget." I smile at that thought.
"I'm doing all right, though the need for the bathroom all the time is getting to be a little unbearable."
"I remember when Abbey was like that with Zoey. Always had to know where the bathroom was. Well anyway, I won't bore you any longer I'll speak to you soon. Take care Donna."
"You too sir, and please take care of my husband in London."
"I will, I promise.
So that was two weeks ago and I am a day away from graduating university with an actual degree. I only hope my husband is here. He said he would try and make it home. I wonder if he will.
Josh's POV
I've been in London now for two weeks and I am flying home for two days before I have to fly back. Why am I flying home for two days you ask? Well, my wife graduates tomorrow and I will be damned if I am not there. She was also due for an ultrasound three days ago and I really wanted to be there. I hope things were all right.
I pull up outside our house. We finally moved in just a week before I left. So redecoration has been her job. Something to keep her mind off the fact that I am not here. The house is in darkness which means she is in bed. And so she should be, she has a big day ahead of her tomorrow and needs all the rest she can get. I tiptoe to our bedroom and take a sneak peak inside. Slipping away to the bathroom I strip down to my boxers and head to bed beside her.
Donna's POV
The bed shifts and I know he's home. He's about to wrap his arms around me and get the shock of his life. "Oh My GOD!" I hear him whisper.
"I got big didn't I?" I whisper back.
"Donna, what happened? I've only been gone two weeks." He squeals out, as he turns on the bedside light.
"Take it you didn't get the letter I sent you after the ultrasound the other day?" He shakes his head at me. It probably will arrive in London this morning or something. "Well basically the letter said that everything is fine, especially as there are two babies in there."
"TWO!" His voice is so loud he would wake the neighbours if we still lived in the apartment.
"Yes sweetie, two, as in twins." Don't worry I was shocked to when the doctor told me.
"I leave for a couple of weeks and this happens. I wish I was there Donna." He says with such a pitiful face. I actually feel sorry for him. It's not every day you find out you're expecting twins. And he missed it.
"I know you do baby, but just think when you get back to London there will be their first photo waiting on you."
"I suppose that's something to think about." He said as he started to nuzzle my neck. I know exactly what he wants , I just wonder if we can find a comfortable positition to do it on tonight.
NEXT DAY
Josh's POV
Myself, Toby and CJ have just sat and watch my wife graduate. She looked so adorable up there in her cap and gown. Even with her growing stomach, she still is the most gorgeous woman in the world.
The sun was shining and it gave us a good chance to get some photographs taken. And believe me there were many. CJ got all tearful when she saw us together. No one really got the chance to see how we worked together as a couple, they were used to seeing Josh and Donna, boss and assistant. Now we were Josh and Donna, husband and wife. Donna stopped working not long after everyone found out and we have been really busy since so we haven't had a chance to see anyone since.
CJ'S POV
Just look at them, they are so wrapped up in one another, there may as well not be anyone else here. I can understand why they are so close. He's been away for so long and is about to go and jump back on a plane again, but hopefully this time he won't be away for long.
Toby nudges me and hands me a handkerchief, it is only then I realise I am crying. "What are you crying at?" He asks in his usual gruff voice.
"That." I tell him pointing to where the couple are standing oblivious to everyone. Her head in nestled against his throat, his arms are wrapped around her and he is whispering something in her ear. Something that made her giggle. "I want that Toby." I admit to him. I do. I want someone to worship me as much as Josh worships Donna. I want someone to look at me the same way. I want to be able to look at someone with the same eyes Donna uses for Josh. "I want to be loved." I tell him, plain and simple.
A.N – Apologises again for the long wait in between chapters. I didn't plan it this way, other things kind of got in the way. Four chapters to go and hopefully I won't wait as long to get them up. I will try and type as fast as I can. I promise. Thanks for all the reviews and encouraging words. They really do make my day.
