Author's Note: Okay, so even though the story is obviously a.u., I'm gonna have it take place around late season five, early season six. Donna didn't go to Gaza, and they got married around season four. I really hope that made some sense. Also, if the type is in italics its gonna mean it's a memory. Oh yeah, reviews make my day so click that button and let me know how you think the story is going….


When Josh was finally able to completely pull himself together, he made his way to Donna's room. Dr. Adams had told him that she would still be unconscious for a little while longer, but there was no reason why he couldn't go visit now. As he sat in the really uncomfortable chair next to the bed, he realized how hospitals never changed, they always were a sterile white color and had the smell of rubbing alcohol. It wasn't like he just hung around hospitals, it's just when you're stuck in a recovery room for almost a month, you start to realize things.

Hadn't life thrown enough curveballs at him and Donna already? When they had finally noticed that you really can't keep denying love for another four years, they get told that they can't be together because it could look bad for the re-election campaign. When they had gotten engaged around Christmas time last year, they couldn't really tell anyone until the wedding invitations were in the mail.

"Josh!" C.J. screamed through the bullpen.

"Josh, I swear to god you better open up your door and talk to me while I'm still reasonably calm." She was calm! He already knew she was coming to yell at him for not telling her sooner about the engagement, but it wasn't like anyone else knew either, he had just gotten off the phone with his mom about the invitation she had gotten today.

"You're still reasonably calm?" He said as he swung his door open to come eye to eye with his friend.

"Yes, calm is something I still am. How many times do I have to tell the people in this wing that I am your first call about anything!" She walked into his office and just sat on his desk, papers and all.

"Well, technically you were the first call, you got your invitation yesterday, while everyone else got their's today." They had actually planned this out a little bit, they had decided to invite Danny, and since he might have asked questions when he got his invitation, they gave C.J. her's so she knew before the questions were asked.

"C.J. please tell me you're not really pissed at us about this, because in all honesty, I really haven't been happier. And I don't think Donna's too miserable either."

"Idiot boy, contrary to the popular belief, I'm not a cold hearted bitch. I'm really happy that you guys finally got a clue, but you really should've told me once you guys got together." She looked less pissed and a smile had appeared on her face and she pulled him into a congratulatory hug.

Soon after they had gotten married though, Donna found out she was pregnant. When the news had gotten out, the media went crazy thinking it was a shotgun wedding because in all truth, they hadn't really known they were together. But because of the whole boss/assistant relationship, the little congratulations blurbs turned into columns wondering if he had been using her and she had puposely gotten pregnant to get him to marry her. Obviously, none of those scenarios had been close to the truth.

"Josh? I've really got to tell you something." She had started off as she walked into his office and closed the door behind her. Actually the way she was acting was starting to freak him out a little bit.

"Honey are you okay?" He got up from the computer and moved over to where Donna was leaning on the other side of his desk.

"Yeah, I'm fine, everything's good it's just... I found out about something and...just let me talk for a minute and don't interupt 'til I'm done okay?" He nodded his head, really wanting to figure out what was causing Donna to act so freaked like this. "Okay, so I went to the doctor's today to see if I had the stomach bug 'cause I hadn't been feeling good..."

"Right, how did that go?"

"Josh, no interupting remember? So I went to the doctor and she told me that I didn't have the stomach bug, but it turns out that I'm pregnant." She rushed the last few words trying to get them all out in one breath. She stood there as she watched him as he went through practically every emotion on his face until he finished on what she could only guess was shock. "Josh you can say something now, and it would be appreciated if it was said really soon because I'm kind of already freaking out and I need to know if you are too."

"Come here." He held out his arms, beckoning for her to settle into his embrace. "This is...wow."

"Josh, this is bad, I mean we just got married. We literally just got back from the honeymoon last week. People are going to jump to conclusions and they're not going to be good ones." She leaned her head on his shoulder, and he could feel a few of her tears soak into his shirt.

"Hey, don't worry about that now." He lifted her face up so she could see him. "If it does happen, we'll deal with it then. Now we get to be happy because we're gonna be parents one day soon."

As he sat there remembering that day, he realized that the day they had been waiting for had arrived, they were officially parents now. As he watched Donna breathe in and out for a few minutes, he decided that he was going to go upstairs and go meet their little girl and tell her that just like her mommy, she was going to be tough and survive.
