Summary
It’s a role reversal if he’s ever experienced one – she’s usually freezing and he’s complaining about the heat. If this were any other day, he’d probably try to make a joke about it, saying that the world has been completely turned upside down, but it’s not. It’s today and it’s now and his world has just barely come around to right side up again, and he doesn’t want to tempt fate.

Summary
My attempt at 30 prompts in 30 days. Various relationships but probably mostly Josh/Toby--will update tags as I go.
Day 4 // Lonely
Josh should bristle at the fact that his visitors log post shooting is a mile long and a never ending revolving door in the days directly following the shooting. However, as more time passes and CJ, Donna, and the rest of the gang attempt to go back ti business as usual at the White House Josh feels remarkably lonely.
Cue Donna and Toby saving the day.

Summary
There’s a framed photograph on Josh’s desk that he took the day Lucy was born. He thinks it might be the most beautiful photo in existence, but there’s a chance he’s biased considering it’s of Donna and their two daughters — his girls as he’s taken to calling them. In the picture, Leah, at two and a half, not quite big enough to hold her baby sister without help from mommy, is beaming up at the camera, one arm thrown around Donna’s neck, the other gently cradling Lucy where she sleeps soundly against Donna’s chest, while Donna smiles tenderly at their two daughters.
It reminds him of another photograph. A photograph on display on his mom’s mantelpiece in a house that’s twelve hundred miles away from the home in which he grew up; a house that’s twelve hundred miles away from the place they buried his sister.

Summary
“Hey,” she whispers, eyes glistening with tears. The hand that’s not clasped in his reaches out to trace the length of his scar, a tiny smile playing on her lips as she traces her own scar, too. “We’re matching.”
It’s so surprising, so unexpected, so wonderfully Donna, that all he can think to do is pull her into a desperate, searing kiss, the breathy gasp she lets out getting lost in the space between them. And there’s something almost poetic, he thinks — his last coherent thought for a while — about the way their hands are still tangled together, crushed between their bodies, a tangible point of connection between her scar and his, and the traumas that bind them.

Summary
“I want you to relax, Josh. Don’t think about anything.” His last thoughts fall away, and his eyes are closed, but it is brightness now, light. It is Donna, her smile that he can feel without looking, her hands keeping his wrists in place, her mouth on his jaw now, on his neck, on his chest.
