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.

The next day CJ and Danny are watching a movie on the couch after everyone leaves them to their own devices, as they are cuddling the phone rings Danny reaches for it as he is the closest to it. "Hello."
"Is CJ there?"
"May I ask who this is for first?"
"It is Frank Hollis."
"Of course, you can here she is," Danny hands the phone to CJ "it's Hollis."
"Thank you, Danny," she puts the phone to her ear. "Hello."
"CJ, when was the last time you were at work?"
"On Friday, Danny was in the hospital during the weekend."
"You realize it is Tuesday?"
"Yes, I do realize that Danny just came home yesterday."
"Does he need help?"
"Not really, it just scary seeing someone I love that much lying motionless for a few days."
"We need you to look at a few forms."
"Ok, I am on my way." CJ looks at Danny and kisses him "I have to go to work Daniel."
"Go, I will be fine honey." CJ leans down to give Danny a kiss as she leaves for work.
"I love you, Danny, call me if you need anything and remember that Kate is staying at a local hotel."
"You don't need to worry about me CJ."
"Yes, I do Danny. I love you and we want kids and get married one day. So, yes I do need to worry about you, as I know you worry about me." CJ laves after giving Danny another kiss.
When she arrives Franklin Hollis meets her at the door. "I think someone is trying to infiltrate this foundation."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at this paper it was printed out from our website." CJ reads the papers and recognizes some of the facts from the memo that caused a big fight between her and Danny years ago.
"I think I know who did this, her name is Mandy Hampton. She worked with me in the early years of the Bartlet administration." CJ starts thinking about Danny, "she even flirted with Danny and told me to be more friendly with him. This was during the time when I was struggling to come to terms with my feeling for him."
"She knows Danny too?"
"Frank, Danny was the Chief Correspondent for The Washington Post for years almost anyone who worked at The Bartlet White House knows him. Even a few who worked in the last years know him a little bit because we started seeing each other after Leo died." CJ gets out her cell phone, "I need to call Danny." Frank signals to go ahead. "Babe remember the language from the memo during the time of our first big fight."
"Of course, I do. Why are you asking?"
"We got a letter on the website and a few of the facts are outdated, and outline the points that Mandy made when she wrote that memo."
"Oh, is everything ok?"
"I just find odd that not long after your attack Mandy is trying to get me fired."
"What should I do?"
"Danny, you will stay there. I am calling Kate to come and make sure nothing happens to you."
"CJ, Alexander Booth, and Mark Bundy are in custody."
"I know that, but Mandy and I didn't always get along and she liked you."
"My eyes have only been for you, Claudia Jean. They have been that way since I met you at Headquarters for Bartlet for America."
"Danny, I just need to do this, I almost lost you already. I don't want to chance it," CJ sits down on her chair. "Please just do this, I know that you are an adult and can take care of yourself."
"Ok, I will do that for you."
"Thank you, I love you, Danny."
I love you too CJ." They hang up and CJ calls Kate and waits for her to pick up.
"CJ is everything ok?"
"I think so, but can you please go to my place to keep an eye on Danny."
"Why?"
"Roads just got an email with someone from our past trying to get me fired."
"That makes you worried about Danny."
"Yes, it this woman outright flirted with him on a regular basis, made every one of the senior staff angry at her for a memo outlying how to beat us. She took each and every one of us to town. Danny was the only reporter not to publish the whole article."
"Ok, I am on my way to look after your man."
"Thank you, Kate, I need to get back to work. I have a meeting with Carol and my assistant to discuss when we should make our next trip to Africa."
"Bye, CJ. I will call you when I get to your place to make sure no one attempts to do anything to Danny."
"Bye." CJ hangs up her phone as she gets back to work knowing that Danny will be safe when Kate gets to her house. She eventually starts to laugh when she realizes that she already has the worrying instincts like a mother.
Kate walks into the house after Danny opens the door. "My girlfriend was a little worried about me after she got that email that is most likely from Mandy."
"Are you complaining?"
"No, it gives me a glance at how she will be like when we have kids."
"You didn't get that from your time working with her in The White House?"
"She was like that with her Spin Boys and Leo after his divorce from Jenny."
"You just didn't think that would ever include you."
"Correct, I never thought that. Here I am living with CJ and we are thinking about kids and getting married."
"CJ told me a little about Mandy, is there much more to know."
"One day, actually I was feeding Gail and Mandy came into CJ's office and starts to flirt with me. CJ then enters her office and gets jealous. That night Carol asked me to meet CJ in her office. When CJ came to the office we shared our first kiss and a few kisses after that. After a while, Mandy didn't get along with anyone she left The White House a day after Roslynn. I wasn't able to be a friend to CJ until after I wrote my story. That is still one of my regrets during that time. My other one is not asking CJ to dinner before I told her about Shareef."
"Your two regrets is not being able to be both a significant other and a reporter to CJ at the same time."
"Yeah, I have loved CJ for years and I use to love reporting, but I found too many scandals and couldn't find it in my especially when I personally knew the people that it would it affect."
"You are the one who told CJ about Doug doing the nanny."
"Yes, I was. I also wanted a reason to see CJ. I was glad when she showed up at the restaurant I should have waited for until we ate dinner. I did that the second dinner and after I asked her to hold my hand on the down from that cliff, but she couldn't give me an answer because of the nuclear plant meltdown."
"That was why she was in a stance when she walked into the building."
"Most likely, I still remember how gorgeous she looked each time she walked to the table,"
"You know this is the type of thing that should be said in vows."
"I have been thinking about my life with CJ since I was waiting for her to land down at LAX."
"We know that you have a ring for CJ, may I ask how you are planning to propose to CJ?"
"I will buy goldfish and spell out will you marry me with them and the ring box will be the dot on the question mark."
"What will you be doing?"
"I will be on one knee as she turns around to look for me."
"Why goldfish?"
"They are her favorite snack, and are a big part of us."
"Gail?"
"Josh told me CJ likes Goldfish, so I bought her Gail thinking she liked the animal and not the crackers." Danny and Kate sit and watch tv until CJ gets home.
"Hi honey," CJ bends down to kiss Danny. "Hi, Kate, thank you, for watching Danny while waiting for me to get home and making sure Mandy didn't show up and do something. Danny drags CJ down to sit next to him and kisses the side of her head.
"No problems, I got to know Danny's side of his love for you before I know yours, but I do know how you do love him. You did move out to California with him after all."
CJ looks into Danny's eyes "I never knew I could love someone like this, and for someone to love me as much as Danny loves me." CJ and Danny lean their heads together and share a slow kiss.
"Are you two going to have a kid before or after you get married?"
CJ puts her head on Danny's shoulder while putting her hand on her abdomen, "we'll see what happens." CJ knows that she is a little late, but won't tell Danny until they are along and she can get a test done.
