Entering the darken hospital room Josh first noticed his wife, or what he presumed was his wife. There was a lump on the bed under the covers. She looked to be curled in a ball, facing away from him. All her wanted to do was go and take her into his arms and tell her everything was going to be all right.

Sitting in a chair by the window, he spotted CJ. She stood, walked to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I am so sorry Josh."

"Please don't CJ. I just can't take it in right now. I am so glad you were there for her though." He glanced over to his wife. Her eyes were closed. "How is she?"

"She's been asleep since they brought her back in. Before she went into surgery all she wanted was you." CJ's eyes filled with tears that she had been trying to keep inside for such a long time.

"Thanks for everything CJ." He told his best friend, whom he thought of as his sister.

She took this as the indication that she should leave. She understood, the couple needed their privacy. Upon exiting the room, she finally allowed the tears to fall. She was only aware she was still crying when she felt the hand on her shoulder. Looking up she came face to face with Toby. Falling into his arms she cried again. He didn't even need to ask what had happened, if CJ was this upset, he had an idea what had happened.

Inside the room, Josh had pulled the chair up to the side of the bed. He pushed and errant strand of hair from her face before sitting and taking her hand in his. She began to stir at the touch of his skin. Opening her eyes she came face to face with her husband and at that the floodgates opened. "I am so sorry." She whimpered.

"Hey, no. Donna this isn't your fault. Please angel, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault." Josh told her, moving the hair that had fallen in her face again. "Can I?" He asked indicating to the bed. She nodded and shifted to the side, allowing him to climb onto the bed and wrap her into his arms. They both wept for their lost child.

Back outside the room, CJ had finally managed to calm herself down. "Toby why do these things happen?" She asked.

"I don't know, I honestly don't know." He said shaking his head. He just couldn't imagine the pain his two best friends were going through. He could hear commotion coming up the corridor. Turning he watched as two men in dark suits appeared and the First Lady entered the corridor just behind them.

Abby Bartlett was a woman to be reckoned with. She wouldn't let anyone push her around. Especially the doctors and nurses in George Washington Hospital. Walking up the corridor she spotted CJ and Toby standing outside a room. Just by looking at CJ she knew whatever the news was, it wasn't good. "What happened?" She asked.

CJ finally found her voice and began to tell the First Lady what had happened. "Donna had severe cramping and bleeding earlier this afternoon. We brought her straight here. Josh was on a meeting in the hill."

"I take it the news isn't good?" Abby asked.

"No ma'am. Donna suffered what they call a late term miscarriage." CJ managed to say before her tears began again. Toby wrapped his arm back around her again.

"Poor girl. How is she doing?"

"I'm not sure. She's been sleeping since she came back from surgery. Josh is in with her now."

"Okay, I am going to pop my head in for a minute and then you guys can get a lift back with us." Abby told then two. "They need time on their own. They'll need us more later in the week."

"Okay ma'am." Toby replied as she walked into the room.

The room was still in partial darkness when Abby Bartlett walked in. Josh was no longer by her bedside as CJ had thought, but on the bed beside his wife. Dried tear tracks shone brightly on both faces. They pain in both faces was evident. Feeling like their mother she wanted to wrap them up and take care of them. Josh stirred. He saw who was in the room and attempted to disentangle himself from Donna's embrace. Abby shook her head and motioned for him to stay where he was. She walked to the side of he bed and gave him a kiss on his forehead before doing the same for Donna. "Take care of her Josh. She's going to need you." She told him as she ran her hand down Donna's silken hair. "You know where to find me if you need to talk."

"Thanks ma'am." He whispered, before she disappeared from the room. The moonlight was beginning to stream in through the window. He glanced down to his wife who slept in his arms. Sending up a silent prayer for them both, he only hoped they could get through this.
