A/N: Okay so I love all of you who reviewed! Thank you so much it meansa lotto me.
I love my beta... she is the best person in the world, what would I do without her? Probably not get through the day!
Donna and Josh are in CJ's guest room, there are boxes and things all over the place. He is lying on the bed as she is searching through all the draws. She is a little frantic and overwhelmed.
"Really Donna, it will be okay, whatever you don't have we can always buy there or in the airport"
Donna still looking through draws and mumbling to herself "oh my god, I still have to talk to CJ, and where would I have put that..."
"Donna I think you are having a nutty"
"JOSH!" Finally turning to look at him, "This is crazy how am I going to be packed in time? The plane leaves in three hours, that means I have to be packed in one because you know we are suppose to be there early and I still have to go to my apartment, and get stuff from there and I have to buy a bathing suit…" pauses for a second "Josh, you're packed already aren't you?"
Josh looks sheepishly around "Um…"
"What? Josh you have to leave right now and go pack!"
"Donna why don't you finish packing and then we can go to my apartment and I can pack"
"Josh there is too much to do" giving him a little pout
"I don't want to leave you"
When he says this Donna's face breaks into a huge grin.
"Aw Josh"
"Don't make fun of me"
"Me, never!"
He whines "Donnaaaa…"
"Josh, you have to go pack and I have to go run a few errands. Go pack and I will meet you at your apartment in one hour and then we will go to the airport. Okay?"
"Fine, but I really don't think this packing thing is all that important. How many clothes do we need when we will be in the hotel most of the time?" He looks at her suggestively
Donna just looks at him and yells, "GO!"
Josh laughs, gets ups up off the bed walks over to her and kisses her lightly on the lips and walks out the door.
As Josh walks into his apartment, he realizes that he's not the only one there.
"Hello?"
Sam walks out of his kitchen
"Hey Josh!"
"What are you doing here? You are suppose to be covering the office, how am I suppose to leave if you leave in the middle of the day? And how did you get in here? You still have my extra key?"
"Josh calm down, I was just coming to check to make sure you are actually on that flight Otto booked for you. Because I will be damned if you decided to just stay in your apartment and watch CNN and develop strategies and not rest your brain."
"Sam don't worry so much. I am going."
"You are not even packed yet? You left the office an hour ago, where have you been?"
Josh looks shifty as he says "Um around?"
Obviously the cat is going to come out of the bag once people realize he and Donna are going away the same week but how does he tell people?
Sam gives him a look "Josh where were you?"
"CJ's" Josh says waving it off, walking into the kitchen.
Sam looks very confused "CJ's? Why?"
"Why not?" Josh says looking through the cabinets not really knowing what he's looking for
Exasperated "Josh"
"Donna was there, I needed to talk to her"
"Why was Donna at CJ's? I saw her in the office today?
"What's with the third degree?"
"If you would just tell me what is going on…"
Josh gives up, leaning against the counter, looking at Sam he says, "Fine" he smiles "I was asking Donna to come with me"
It takes a few seconds, but Sam realizes just what Josh is saying.
He is very excited and starts to ramble, "Oh my god! You and Donna really… since when? How did it happen? This is why… she told me she couldn't get through to you. Josh! I guess I was wrong in assuming you did not have a life"
"Not entirely, and Sam you are worse than a woman"
"Come on, I have been waiting for this for a long time, I deserve details"
"You have been waiting?"
"Yea, I'm sure everyone in the West Wing is happy to here you to finally got together"
Josh surprised "What?"
"Oh come on Josh, everyone knew you could not live without her"
Josh's voice gets high "Everyone?"
"Yes Josh, you guys always had a thing"
Josh just looks nervous because people were talking about him and they knew how he felt when he couldn't even explain it for years. Sam continues.
"CJ didn't tell you this when she found out?"
"Um she doesn't know, I don't think… you're the first person I told"
Sam smiles, touched
There is silence for a second, and then Sam continues "So tell me this at least… when did it start?"
"Well I kissed her for the first time a few weeks ago, and then nothing, but everything changed on the night before Election Day."
Sam realizing the timing "And then Leo? You guys never talked… that's why…
"You keep saying that, what did she say to you?"
"Nothing really she was just worried about you and she said that she couldn't get through to you, I was confused at why, but now, kinda making sense."
"I made her worry that much? I thought she didn't understand anymore"
"Josh, Donna is the one who will always get you"
"Yeah, I'm slowly getting that"
Josh looks like for the first time he knows exactly what he wants and he is going to get it.
"Sam I have to pack, so if there's not anything else…"
Sam starts towards the door but wavers "I could help you pack?"
"Sam I want you to run the office"
"Come on Josh there is not that much I can do, it's getting late and I want to here more about you and Donna"
Sam looks way to hopeful for Josh to shoot him down. He starts to walk to his room and says
"Fine you can stay but I am not doing the whole girl talk thing"
"Sure, Sure."
