C.J took off after Josh, who was following his wife's gurney out of the operations bullpen towards the outer lobby of the west wing. There were secret service agents on both sides of Donna and the baby, they entered the lobby and headed out to the breeze way. Into the cold night air of Washington D.C, the EMT's loaded Donna into the waiting ambulance. C.J caught Josh just as he was about to step inside the ambulance.
"Josh, I need to know where they are taking her to. The press will be all over this, but for now I can control this."
Josh signed he was in no mood to deal with C.J and the circus known as the white house press corps. He would tell her what she needed to know for now.
"Donna is going to GW, the baby's fine, and it's a boy bye C.J." Josh stepped inside the waiting ambulance and the EMT shut the door. The ambulance took off towards GW Hospital.
Josh sat down across from his wife and son; he brushed the hair off Donna's face. And took her hand in his and kissed it. Then he lends down and placed a kiss on the top of his, baby boy's sticky head. He smiled to himself, what a night this had been so far. Nothing boring about tonight's state dinner, first there was the encounter with the 'Not so famous Dr. Freeride ' then gunshots fired at The White House, and to top it all off Donna went into labor. Just another day at The White House, the EMT looked over at Josh and smiled.
"Is this your first child sir?"
Josh chuckled, "Yeah that obvious huh.."
"Well yes sir..it kind of is, it's not every day that we get called to The White House. We really didn't know what to expect upon our arrival."
"You mean The Secret Service didn't tell you?"
"No sir, when they call we don't ask questions, we just respond fast."
Josh looked at his wife and son, and watched as the EMT hooked a heart monitor up to Donna.
"Why are you hooking that up to her for? I thought she was ok?"
"As far as I can tell, just by the brief exam I did she seems fine. I just want to check and make sure, everything is ok sir. I also want to check the baby to make sure everything is ok with him as well.
Ma'am I just need to take him for a few mins, to hook the monitor up."
Donna looked at Josh with pleading in her eyes, "Donna sweetheart he just needs to put the monitor on him."
"It want hurt him? He's so little…and that's so big…"
"No Ma'am, I'll use the baby size one that we have, your son will be just fine."
Donna handed Noah over to Josh and he handed him to the EMT, he got to work hooking up the heart monitor as Josh and Donna watched. He was just about to hand the baby back to Donna, when alarms on Donna's monitor started to go off. The EMT got to work fast checking her over, Josh watched in horror. He looked up at the monitor, not really knowing what to look for.
"Sir did she deliver the placenta?"
"The what?"
"The placenta, it comes after a woman gives birth."
"No not that I saw."
The EMT started to feel around Donna's abdomen, he shouted to the driver to speed up. That she was going into shock and they needed to hurry….
C.J and Toby made their way back inside The West Wing, only to be stopped by Danny.
"Is it true that Donna Lyman was rushed out of here by ambulance?"
"Look Danny, as soon as I have all the facts I will issue a statement to the press."
"C.J I'm not asking as a reporter, I'm asking as Josh's friend."
"Then off the record, yes she was rushed out after giving birth to a baby boy. And before you ask fish boy, I don't know the name yet or any more details than that. I'm waiting on Josh to call me with an update."
"Are you going to do an 11pm press briefing?"
"Is this Danny the friend asking or Danny the reporter?"
"Both"
"As soon as I get the report from the secret service, about tonight I'll brief the press. Not before, and you are not to ask about Josh and Donna. As soon as I know something there, you will know. Got it fish boy."
Danny put his hands up, "Got it."
C.J turned and headed for her office, she entered and sat down at her desk. She needed to try and get ahold of Josh and find out what was going on. She was just about to pick up her phone when Toby walked and Sam walked in.
"Any word from Josh yet?"
"No Samuel, you're his best friend. I would have thought knowing Josh the way I do, that he would have called you before he called me."
"Last time I heard from him was earlier tonight, when we were at The State Dinner. Then everything happened with the lockdown and all."
"Has the secret service given you a report yet Toby?"
"No, but after all I'm not the Press Secretary either."
"I'm going to place a call to Ron Butterfield and see what he can tell me, I need something to tell the press at the 11pm briefing."
Just as C.J was about to pick up her phone, Sam's started to ring. He pulled it out of his tux jacket and answered it. C.J and Toby watched as Sam talked to whoever was on the other end. As Sam listened all the color left his face as he slowly sat down in a chair in front of C.J's desk.
