'WHAT THE HELL!'

'Right see you weren't supposed to be all panicky you were supposed to be calm and let me explain and then love me for being all me and then I wasn't supposed to flip out and you were supposed to understand.'

'DONNA!'

She was pacing his office. Josh was standing mouth wide open barely understanding what was going on. He would have been ten thousand times more crazy if he had known why she was doing it.

'If we are going to do this,' she said waving her hands back and forth between him and her, 'then I can't work for you.'

'WHY THE HELL NOT?' he asked her not really angry but confused.

'I know you said that you don't care about all the other stuff but I do,' she told him straight-forward, half lying.

'Donna,' he said a little calmer.

'I can't work for you any longer,' she told him standing firm.

He tilted his head and tried to stare her in the eye. She averted them, looking straight at the floor. He stepped towards her and placed both of his hands on her arms, one for comfort, the other reason being so she couldn't run away.

'Donna I can't believe it took me this long to figure out that I love you,' he told her quietly. 'I don't want to miss another minute of you. I don't want you leaving me because you are afraid what the reporters said, or Leo, or the House. I want you to leave because it will make you happy. When you are having babies, and raising boys.'

'I'm not afraid of what everyone else will think,' she admitted trying desperately to keep her eyes on the floor. She was pouting trying not to cry.

'Then what is this about?'

She didn't say anything.

'Donna I love you. You love me. Why should any thing else matter?'

She didn't move.

'Why should we care what they…'

'Because I don't want you to hate me!' she shouted.

'What?' he asked confused.

'You love this job, and then if something happens. A scandal, you have to resign, you look bad. If you loose this you'll hate me. Then there won't be any us.'

'Donna that won't hap…'

'Don't say it won't happen,' she said pulling away from him. 'You don't know that. You can't know anything. This is a relationship. Nothing is predictable. I love you so much and I couldn't stand if you hated me, even a little bit.'

He stepped towards her and she backed away.

'Can we talk about this?' he asked her.

'I've made this decision Josh. I'm leaving this job. It's not like I'll have a hard time gttting another. But losing this job is nothing compared to losing you. So don't tell me I should stay, and that I should think this over. I've thought it over, and this is the hardest thing I've had to do. So I'm leaving now, and I'll see you later.'

'Donna!' he shouted.

She turned and walked out the door. He tried to grab her arm. But she just slipped away.
