Sorry I didn't put this in last chapter. I'm new to fanfic writing, so if this sucks (or is good somehow) please tell me. I don't own any of these characters, unfortunately John Wells owns them and keeps messing them up. Pairings in this story: Josh/Donna, Sam/Ainsley, Charlie/Zoey, Toby/Annabeth (weird, I know). I hope to make this pretty long, but gradually. This is dedicated to xxNight Angelxx, who is an amazing writer. So here's chapter 2. I love reviews, so feel free.
As I pry my eyes open against the intense sunlight coming from the window, I would normally curse, but I see that my arms are wrapped around something warm. I look up and see Donna looking at me smiling. "Wake up sleepy head!" She greets me with. She tells me that it's 6:00 and that it's OK I slept an extra 15 minutes, because we've been through this before.
We are starting new lives together.
I'm the new Chief of Staff to President Santos after being his campaign manager; he graciously offered it to me as a thank you to getting him to do the most honorable job in government. I then brought Donna on board as my deputy, but Mrs. Santos liked her so much that she appointed Donna as her Chief of Staff. Today will be our first day in the White House if the Santos Administration.
We have a lot of old friends working with us. Annabeth is going to be our press secretary (Donna and bought her a bright pink stool just for her so that people can view our pint sized friend). Kate is now National Security Advisor. Sam is coming back. After losing the election, he started a law firm in LA called Pinafore Protectors, which he started with Ainsley. The law firm did all right, but when Santos offered him Communications director and Ainsley to be Donna's Deputy Chief of Staff, they literally jumped onto the next plane that was out to DC.
Toby, however, was a hard one to keep. After our big argument during the campaign trail, to get him to stay was awful hard. Before I offered anything he told me "I don't want my old job back, Josh. So get it right out of your head." When I offered him to be my Deputy instead, he had to think about it. He did say yes, but not to that. He is now Leo's (or the Vice President's) Chief of Staff. So things did get scrambled up a little bit.
So, desperate to find a deputy, I went to the one man I should have gone to first, who is so capable of doing this his name was written all over it. Charlie. He was also a tough one to convince, but he caved in. He said (with all due respect) that having to move up to the Manchester house with Zoey and her parents wasn't the dream life for the two of them. They live in an apartment together over by Logan Circle and they're getting married on February 22, one month from today. Charlie asked me to be the best man! I was honored and shocked that he chose me, but needless to say, I accepted.
(Former) President Bartlett and Mrs. B are moving back up to the farmhouse in Manchester. They'll come down for the wedding and are going to spend about a week catching up with us. It should be nice, but then the only time we'll see them after that is at their traditional Thanksgiving feast, which we are all invited to. I missed the last one, so the next one should be fun. CJ still lives in DC, but doesn't work at the White House. After the whole NASA thing and her leaking it, she wanted to bow out. However, she missed escaping Leo, so now she is special counsel to the Vice President. Will ran off to Orange County and no one has heard from him ever since the old VP "Bingo Bob" packed up his things. Next thing we know he'll have some surfer guy who goes "Dude" all the time run for president. So today should be exciting, but at the moment I have to run into the shower, before Donna uses up the hot water. And then. the beginning of my life with Donna the way it should've been for the last 9 years.
