As always, I do not own these fabulous characters. Majority of them belong to Aaron Sorkin; few of them belong to Ehli Attie. As always reviews would be accepted, and will try to implement them on future stories\chapters.

In the morning, everyone is woken up by the phone ringing. CJ reaches over the pillow picking up the phone. "Hi?"
"CJ, are you ok?
"Umm who is this?"
"Kate Harper, who else would be calling you?"
"Many people, my boyfriend is unconscious in the hospital. The Bartlets came from New Hampshire, Toby from New York, and Danny's parents from Michigan."
"Is there any more room for this friend?"
"Sorry I have no more guest rooms and Toby in on the couch."
"Then I will get a hotel."
"Kate, you don't have to come here."
"Is there anything I can do?"
"No, Kate. I am going back to the hospital with his parents and most likely my other three guests."
"CJ, tell me the truth how are you holding up?"
"I wish everyone would stop asking me that especially using the word holding."
"Why?"
"The day of the meltdown Danny asked me if I wanted to hold his hand on the way down."
"The way down what?"
"The cliff. He was jumping because of him stopping being a reporter and I was being pushed off with my leaving The West Wing."
"Wasn't that the night I asked if you wanted to go out for drinks and you said that you had a date."
"Yes, and it was much more complicated than that to tell."
"Really?"
"Kate, we didn't date before but we had kissed a few times."
"CJ, how many people wanted you together."
"I honestly don't know." There is a knock on the door "Kate, I'm going to hang up now."
"Bye, tell the Bartlets I said hi." CJ hangs up the phone and opens the door to see Abbey holding a cup of coffee and some breakfast.
"You are eating three meals today CJ, and are not going to argue with us about it."
"Let me guess you two are going to pull we are your former boss' card."
"That is a good idea, I was just going to say that Danny would want you to eat."
"I know, Kate says hi."
"How is she?"
"Worried about me."
"You have a big family CJ."
"I know, working in The West Wing was a great thing for me, even though I put my personal life on hold for a few years."
"More than a few years. Come on CJ, we should head downstairs." As they get down they see that everyone is ready to go to the hospital. As they get to Danny's room CJ goes right back to her spot holding his hand. While everyone else in the room wills Danny to wake up not just for himself but for the woman who loves him. When they go out to lunch something happens.
