I do not own these characters, this may not be my first story that has been published, but I wrote the first many chapters on paper a little over a year ago, so can I please get some reviews. 😉

The next morning CJ wakes up so she can go catch her plane in her comfortable clothes and is happy that she doesn't have to dress up for the first time in four years, as she approaches the plane to get on it her phone vibrates. "Danny, I will be with you in a few hours in an Ambien and acholic state."

"I can't wait to start my life with you, Claudia Jean."

"I can't wait to spend my life with you too, Danny" at this point a flight attendant comes to CJ."

"Sorry miss, you have to hang up now."

"Bye, Danny I have to go I love you."

"Love you too Ceej see you soon." They hang up and CJ settles in her seat and takes an Ambien. The plane ride fly's bye and before she knows it they are preparing for landing. As she gets her bags and heads out of the airport she sees the scruffy curly red with a bit of grey head of her boyfriend Danny Concannon, as they get closer CJ sees that Danny looks like a lobster. Before she got there, she didn't think she would be emotional, but she becomes emotional when Danny pulls her into a kiss which she gladly accepts. Since she is slightly taller than Danny she lifts her feet as a picks her up a little bit.

As they break apart she runs her fingers along his check "did you even put on sunscreen Danny?"

"Of course, I did CJ, but you know how red heads usually burn in the sunburnt."

"Well, maybe I can put some Aloe on you on you tonight," CJ says suggestively.

"Even though I love that idea. I don't we should because you are going to need the sleep that you have lost in the past many years, and now you won't be called in the middle of the night saying they need you at The White House. I will be right next to you holding the woman that I love."

"Danny," they say no more as Danny puts CJ's bags into the car he is driving and head to the house that he has bought for them. As the car gets closer to the house CJ sees a familiar baby blue mustang. "How did you get her Danny?" She also looks at the front of the house glad that she doesn't recognize it, because she doesn't want to feel like she did 11 years ago.

"I have my ways," Danny wiggles his eyebrow which make CJ laugh.

"Let me guess the person who I sold it to is a former source of yours?"

"No, Clarisse is the nanny for Molly and Huck."

"What? How did you know that?"

"Well, one day I was at the park and I noticed that Toby and Andie were with their kids and they had a young woman with them. I was introduced to her as a friend of theirs and a special friend of one of their oldest friends. I then learned that she was the nanny."

"Then how did she get the money?"

"I gave it to her plus some extra, so she could get a different car. I also told that you must not know about any of this." CJ leans in to kiss Danny as two four-year olds come running out of the house."

"Aunt CJ, Aunt CJ," says Molly and Huck.

"You two slow right now," says Andie as she comes down the steps of the house with Toby right behind her.

"Andie? Toby?" CJ gets up to hug them after hugging the twins.

"So, how is your life so far out of the White House," asks Toby.

"Well, even though I've only been gone for 24 hours its wonderful pretty wonderful because I get to kiss the man I love in public anytime I want like this," she grabs Danny and kisses him with all her worth. After breaking apart Danny thinks that being away from D.C. will be amazing for their relationship.

"Ewwwww," says Molly and Huck in unison.

"You know I'm glad that you decided to finally listen to me for once." CJ looks at Toby aghast.

"I did listen to you before, Tobias." She gets closer to Toby.

"When?"

"How about during the first term when you and Leo told me to stop being to friendly to the press. Which for means and has always meant to either stop what you are feeling." Danny comes in between the two old friends.

"Whoa, whoa, everyone calm down and take a breath. Claudia, all that matters is that we are together now and that you are happy, right?"

"Right," the whole group inside the house "I am so glad you found a place outside of LA, Danny." CJ says as Danny shows her the house. He left out one room on both tours knowing that the room is something that he is going to have to talk to CJ about when no one is around. "It already feels different to live here than it did in LA."

"Well, there is a major difference now, and that is you are now in a relationship."

"I know that Danny, and I am ecstatic about the fact I am moving forward in life." At this point, Toby truly realizes that CJ is happy with Danny and wants to be more than his girlfriend.

"So, how is Gail doing?" Both CJ and Danny look away from them sadly.

"She didn't make the trip from DC." Danny, holds CJ knowing how much their fish meant to her.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that."

"Toby," Andie says warningly "they just lost their fish that they had for a better part of a decade."

"It's fine Andie, Gail's death is a symbol that my life is changing and that change is when I have more than a job." At this point, Huck and Molly come into the room wanting CJ to follow them. "I have been paged by my surrogate niece and nephew." CJ leaves the room as Toby and Andie turn the full attention to Danny knowing that their kids are well watched under.

"So, you and CJ."

"Yes, Andie CJ and I."

"So, when are you going to propose?"

"First, I need to find the perfect ring and the perfect moment."

"What kind of ring do you want" Andie wonders aloud.

"Well, something simple but complicated."

"Do you have a plan of at least when you want to propose?" Andie asks.

"Kinda, I want everyone from her West Wing days around when I propose."

Huck and Molly come running inside the house, "Aunt CJ just feel in the pool." CJ comes in the house soaking wet.

"Don't say anything Tobias."

"I was just going to say that you ended your first time in California and started your new life here by falling into a pool." CJ huff and looks around until her eyes connects with Danny's whose eyebrow raise suggestively.

"Why don't you go change into something dry CJ." CJ also decided to get the DC grime and jet leg off her, so she got in the shower. After she is finished she gets dressed in new clothes and goes downstairs to see the Toby, Andie and the twins have left. She then sees Danny lightly asleep on the couch when Danny lets a small snore out, she goes up and kisses him, "where is everyone?"

"Toby got a call about a possible job interview. What took you so long?"

"I took a shower and changed, can't you tell I'm clean?"

"You are always beautiful to me," CJ's phone rings so she gets up to answer it.

"The new Press Secretary just fired me."

"Hello Carol."

"Hi, CJ." Carol huffs as she falls against the couch in her apartment.

"You know that you have a job waiting for you here in California, if you want to deal with me again.?"

"Will, I have to do with Danny trying to constantly woo you?"

"Who knows what he will do now that we are together now."

"It was just so sweet with him trying to get you to like him."

"I knew it."

"CJ."

"I have to go Carol, when you get here go to The Hollis Foundation headquarters and tell them you are going to be working with me."

"How will they know I'm not lying?"

"When I get to work, I will tell them look for a tallish woman named Carol with dark hair will showing up saying that I have given her a job."

"Ok, go to your boyfriend."

"Oh, don't worry I am." After CJ and Carol hang up she goes to Danny and sits on his lap and starts to kiss him "I no longer have to worry about being called away Daniel." She says in in between kissing his neck."

"I love that I now have CJ Cregg to love all the time."

"Yes, Daniel you do. Now, kiss me." The start to make out like teenagers. "Oh, promise me that you won't bug Carol too much."

"So, I take it that Carol is working with you again."

"That's good," Danny thinks to kiss CJ again "are you ready for dinner?"

"Yes, what should we have?"

"Let's see we both are tired, and we don't have much of any food in the house, so how about we have some Chinese?"

"Mmmmk." They eat their Chinese food and get ready for bed.

…..The Next Morning….

Danny wakes up to see that CJ is still sleeping but she starts to stir. "Good morning Danny."

"Sweetheart, this is your second day away from working for 24 hours and 8 days a week. Go back to sleep."

"But."

"CJ, you need to catch up on the sleep you have lost for the past 9ish years." Danny wraps his arms tighter around CJ, "so if I'm warm enough for you close those gorgeous eyes." At this point the phone rings, Danny looks over "it's Josh."

"Give it here," he hands the phone over. "Hello Joshua."

"I need some."

"I have briefing books on anything, I want to spend some time with Danny before my foundation starts up."

"Really?"

"Yes, Joshua, now ask Margaret for help. She has been the assistant for the Chief of Staff for the past 8 years."

"But?"

"Joshua Lyman let me have my first vacation\ weekend off since I started on The Bartlet. You got a short vacation that you took Donna on a few weeks ago."

"Ok, tell your boy toy I said hi."

"He is my boyfriend." Danny kisses CJ's check when he hears her say those words together. "Bye Josh, remember to eat." She hangs up the phone and lays down back on the bed.

"So, I'm your boyfriend?"

"Yes, you are, and I'm your girlfriend if you want to call me that." CJ bites her lip a little bit nervous.

"Of course I want to call you my girlfriend," Danny rolls over on top of CJ.
