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.

When they get back to the hospital CJ first goes to use the bathroom. While the others approach Danny's room they hear his voice, his parents run to give him a hug they all talk until Danny looks up to see CJ, "hi."
"Hi." She runs to his bed and kisses him, "you're awake."
"Yes, I am." Danny continues to hold her, "can you get up here, so I can hold you better."
"Danny, you have been out for a few days."
"I know, and I also know that you were here nearly the full time," he brushes some hair out of her eyes. "Oh, and that these guys had to fight with you to eat something."
"Danny."
"Hey, I know that you were worried about me, but your health is also important, and don't say you went without sleep and eating in D.C., that was sometimes too fast paced to allow those things. You now work for a foundation, and we tend to live a quiet life."
"I know, it was just too hard, kind of like when no one eat after Rosslyn."
"They wanted to rob us, not kill me."
"Danny, I found you lying on the ground barley alive."
"That is exactly why you need to get up here, so I can prove to you that I am okay and for a cuddle from the person who loves you the most."
"Let me go ask your Doctor's if it ok."
"Come on Claudia Jean."
"I don't want to hurt you, Danny."
"When I have you in my arms it never hurts."
"I am still going to ask your doctor." CJ leaves the room to go find a nurse or his doctor. When she leaves the room the four people in the room look at Danny.
"Son before this happened what was the last thing you said to her?"
"I love you CJ, have a good day at work." CJ comes in with a nurse, who goes to check his vitals.
"Hello Mr. Concannon, how are you feeling?"
"Fine."
"The police are coming later to see what you remember from the attack."
"I'm fine with that, will it be okay if CJ comes on this bed to cuddle with me?"
"I don't see any problem with that."
"Thank you." After the nurse leaves Danny pats a spot on the bed for CJ, and she climbs on said spot. "Now, this is great medicine."
"I know this is already making me feel better." She puts her arm over Danny's chest, and her head-on shoulder. A few hours later the police show up to see everyone talking and see that CJ is smiling for the first time, since they met her.
"Mr. Concannon, we have a few questions." CJ starts to get up, but Danny just grabs her arms and pulls her back into him.
"Go ahead, but call me Danny."
"Ok, what can you tell me about the day of the attack?"
"Do you want me to start from when they knocked on the door, or when I woke up in the morning?"
"Your choice."
Flashback starts. "It was about 2:30 and I knew CJ would be getting off work soon when I heard a noise from outside, so I got up from the couch walked to the door to look at the peephole," Danny takes a breath. "At that point they break open the door one guy asks my where all of my valuables are."
"Did you tell them?"
"No. I did not tell them where things were. I didn't want them to take something of CJ's."
"Danny that would have been fine; if you weren't home they would have taken my stuff and not hurt you."
"Can you tell me what they looked like?"
"Yah, of course I can I am a former reporter. One of them was about 5'4" black hair, blue eyes, average build, and had a tattoo of a bull dog on his shoulder. The other one was my height looked like his cousin the only difference was a scar over his right eye."
"Thank you, Danny. We got some DNA and finger prints from the scene and we should be able to get the perps with everything that we have now." The officers leave the room to find the two who beat up Danny.
CJ turns her head to Danny, "Danny, I would have been ok if my things were stolen, I have not been ok with you in the hospital." Danny grabs the side if her face and brings her into a kiss her this kiss reminds her of the kiss from a little over 7 years ago, the only two differences is that they have an audience and are laying on a bed.
"Ahem" Toby coughs to get their attention, "there are people here you two."
CJ and Danny break apart, "I know that Tobias, I just missed kissing him."
"And I missed kissing CJ too, sorry Mom and Dad that you had to see that."
"Oh, it is okay I am just glad that my son finally is in a relationship that can last." Points out Alex.
"I am just hoping for some more grandchildren."
"Mom!" Danny doesn't notice that CJ has a smile on her face, or that Toby, and both Bartlets are snickering under their breath.
"I think you should look at CJ, Danny." He looks down to see CJ smile her small beautiful smile that Josh saw when she talked about moving to California with Danny. "Do you have some things to tell me?"
"I am not pregnant, but Danny I am ready for kids."
"Really?" They don't see everyone walk to give the couple some privacy.
"Danny, I love you and I think we would make wonderful parents as long as we do it together. Do you want kids?" Danny looks at her.
"CJ, of course I want kids with you, I just thought you would want to wait until we are married, because of the Republicans and other people question what happened behind closed doors when we were working in The White House."
"Danny, wait matters is what we think. As Doctor Seuss says "Those who care don't matter, and those who matter don't care." CJ leans up to kiss Danny, "of course, we have to wait for the okay from your Doctor before we start trying."
"Oh, come on," Danny sighs "I love you and love when we get down, and now that I won't be sheathed in anything."
"Danny, it will still be special, and it will still feel amazing." CJ interrupts Danny who remember not to long ago how she wanted mainly that connection with Danny, until that night in January. She snuggles close to Danny once again content on the knowledge that they both want kids together. She falls asleep with Danny holding her.
Toby comes in the room first to see his friend fast asleep in the arms of someone her loves. "Good Toby it's you. I was wondering if you could check my top drawer in a shirt that says Dallas Morning News to see if there is a ring box there."
"You want to ask CJ to marry you."
"Yes, I do, I just so happen to have bought a ring already."
"You hide it in your dresser?"
"In a drawer in a shirt pocket."
"Doesn't CJ wear this shirt?"
"No."
"Okay, I will see if the ring is still there."
"Thank you, Toby."
"Just promise me this, you will always try your best to never hurt her."
Danny looks down at CJ, "I promise, I have been in-love with her for years." CJ starts to wake up when everyone else comes in his room with a doctor.
"Danny, you can go home tomorrow."
"Thank you, doctor. Do you mind if CJ stays here tonight? I have grown use to sleeping next to CJ, well at least something that has her sense." CJ starts to blush as she puts her head in Danny's chest.
"I see no problem with that. It wouldn't be the first time that she has stayed here since you got to the hospital."
"Really?"
"Danny, I stayed here the first night holding your hand."
"I thought I felt something wonderful." He grabs CJ's face and brings her into kiss him as they pull away they both have sweet smiles on their faces. "That though is absolutely amazing."
"Just so you two know Danny can't have sex for a few weeks."
"I know, I was telling him that a few minutes ago."
