"How's it going?" CJ walked into the guestroom and saw Toby doing his leg
exercises.
"Do you have any idea how stupid I look right now?" Toby moaned and stopped, resting his head back down on the pillow.
"Why did it have to take this?" CJ asked, sitting next to him.
"What?"
"We've been friends for twenty years, and it took this horrible accident to finally get us to tell each other our true feelings," CJ looked down as she felt Toby's hand grip her lower back.
"I don't know," Toby whispered. "I'm just glad I was able to be here to do it."
"Me too," CJ spun around and kissed him. "Tomorrow's the day."
"Yep. Back to work we go," Toby smirked.
"Are you sure you're up to it?"
"Richards told me that I can do half days, and I'm willing to try that. And I'm still going to my physical therapy."
Yeah," CJ nodded.
"Are you ready to go back?"
"I'm a little nervous."
"Me too," Toby said, honestly.
"We'll be okay, right?"
"Yeah, just take one day at a time."
"Thank you Toby."
"For what?"
"Saying the right thing," CJ smiled and kissed him.
"I mean it," Toby whispered. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"I walked down the hall and got me the newspaper today," Toby smiled.
"Really?" CJ winked.
"Remember what you said a few days ago?" Toby said, playfully.
"Are you sure?" CJ asked.
"Oh yeah," Toby laughed.
"But we have to go slow, your back," CJ pointed out.
"CJ, are you going to make me beg?" Toby glared.
"Maybe," CJ smiled and kissed him.
"You know I will," Toby smirked.
"Don't get rowdy," CJ hit him playfully and they both fell on the bed.
MONDAY
"Ouch!" CJ screamed.
"What?" Toby turned around from the passenger seat.
"Your damn wheelchair bites!"
"I taught it well," Toby smirked, as CJ took the wheelchair out of the back of the car. "Are you going to help me out?" He smirked.
"You're driving me crazy," CJ grinned and helped him out of the car and into the chair. "What's that smell?" CJ asked.
"It's the smell of sex Claudia," Toby said, a little to cheerful. It caused CJ to bust up laughing.
"Smart ass," CJ laughed as she pushed him towards the White House.
"It's good to be home," Toby patted CJ's hand.
"Yeah, it is," CJ smiled. "Does it look different to you?"
"Yeah, it looks like it needs its Press Secretary and Communications Director back," Toby smirked.
"Before we go in, about last night," CJ bent in front of Toby. "How was it?"
"Do you really have to ask?" Toby winked.
"I just don't want this to end. Whatever it is," CJ said, looking down.
"It's not going to end," Toby rubbed CJ's cheek and smiled. "I love you to much."
"I love you too," CJ smiled, kissing him on the lips.
"Shall we get back to work?"
"Yeah," CJ smiled and wheeled him in.
"Welcome back," All the guards smiled as they went in.
"Thanks," CJ smiled.
"They actually got you into a wheelchair, huh?" One guard smiled.
"This should show you that I'm not that stubborn," Toby pointed out.
"Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it," Leo walked out. "Welcome back you two."
"Thanks Leo," CJ smiled, hugging him.
"How are you feeling?" Leo looked down at Toby.
"Short," Toby said, simply.
"I'll push him, come on, I have a surprise for you," Leo took hold of the wheelchair and led them back to his office.
"Welcome back," Everyone they passed greeted them.
"Why is everyone being so nice?" Toby moaned.
"Because they all thought you were dead."
"They wish," Toby joked to himself.
"Surprise!" Everyone yelled as Leo opened his office door.
CJ and Toby were amazed at how many people actually fit in Leo's little office. All the senior staff was there, as well as all of the assistants.
"Oh yeah," Josh smiled and turned on the CD player. After a few minutes of Josh trying to get it to work, the song, Midnight Train to Georgia, starting playing.
"Very funny," Toby smirked.
"We thought you would like it," Josh laughed.
"Listen you two," Jed walked over. "You both work until noon and leave. No later."
"Yes sir," CJ and Toby both moaned.
"Now, everyone back to work. Believe it or not, we do run the Country," Jed said while walking back into his office.
"How's it feel to be back?" Sam asked.
"Nice," CJ nodded. "Thank you all for this."
"Listen to the President, don't do to much," Leo said.
"We won't," Toby nodded.
"Now, everyone back to work," Leo ordered.
"I'll push him," Sam took control and smiled at CJ.
"I'll go see what's going on with Simon," CJ smiled and bent down to Toby's level. "You were short before, but this is ridicules."
"You love me though," Toby smiled and kissed her.
"When did this start?" Leo asked, disgusted.
"I love you," CJ whispered and followed Carol.
"I love you too," Toby whispered as she walked away.
"So, how long do you think it's going to be until you get on a train again?" Sam asked, pushing Toby towards their offices.
"I don't care how much gas is. My car is taking me everywhere," Toby said simply.
As they went back to work, they remembered their old routines and how much they missed them. Their work was their lifesaver. But they knew that they had each other, and that love would take them farther then they every thought was possible.
