Chapter 6 : As long as you're mine

"Hello Mr. President." Donna and Josh stood up as the President, Abbey, C.J. and some Secret Service men walked in. C.J. went to Donna and gave her a hug.

"Is he okay?" She whispered in Donna's ear.

"He's fine."

"What room..is he in?" President Bartlett's voice sounded firm and commanding, even though he was hurting inside.

"215"

"Is he alone?" Abbey asked.

"Annabeth is in there with him" Donna reassured.

"Okay." The President started walking through the hall when Josh tried to stop him.

"Um sir...I don't think right this second would be..." But he was too late. The group had disappeared behind the corner.

"What was that Josh?"

"It's just. Leo told me that he was going to propose to Annabeth , right now."

Annabeth was still in Leo's room when the group had started to round the corner.

"Leo? When are we going to tell everyone?"

"As soon as they ask." Leo started to laugh and then he started to cough.

"Leo...Leo are you okay do you need a nurse?"

"No..no I'm fine." He turned over seeing Annabeth with a 100 watt smile on her face. He mouthed the words I love you to her, because he really did. He started to kiss her, just as the President walked in.

"Oh sorry for um" said the President. Annabeth started to stand up, until the President motioned for her to sit back down. "Leo how are you feeling?"

"Good. Very good." Annabeth stood up.

"I think I'm going to go and check on Josh and Donna see if anything...yeah"

"Annabeth can I talk to you out in the hall?" C.J. asked.

"Sure." They walked out into the hallway and shut the door.

"Is he okay?"

"He's fine."

"Annabeth ...what was that? Were you..and Leo...?" Annabeth put her head down ashamed. She held up her hand to show C.J. her ring, afraid that she would scold her.

"Is that an engagement ring? Oh my god, OH MY GOD! Annabeth!" She grabbed Annabeth and gave her a big hug. Does she know it's Leo? Annabeth thought "Did he just ask you?" I guess she does.

"Yes he did." Annabeth started to blush.

"I didn't even...but when did you...how come no one ever noticed?"

"Don't know."

"Well I am very happy for you two. Who knows?"

"You, me and Leo."

"That's it? When do you plan on telling everyone?"

"When they ask"
