A Different Kind Of Family ~ 9
"Look, Leo..."
"Mrs. Ziegler! I knew that something was going on here. What are you two thinking? Where is he now?" Leo screamed while shuting his office door.
"He's at the hospital..."
"With the son?" Leo screamed sarcastically.
"Toby found him hurt and helped him get back on his feet. The kid was laying on the street about to die, what the hell was Toby going to do?" CJ fould herself screaming at Leo.
"He's a street kid. Turn him in to social services!"
"Toby can't do that..."
"Why?" Leo yelled.
"Because he fell in love with the kid." CJ blurted out.
"Great, now I have a Communications Director who's playing daddy and a Press Secretary playing the mommy!"
"Those are some poor choice of words Leo. The kid asked Toby not to turn him in. Toby promised him." CJ screamed.
"Don't use that tone with me CJ..."
"Then don't act like an ass Leo!" CJ threw open the door and walked out.
Leo stood there looking at the door in shock. He was never told off before like that.
CJ went back to her office and sat down and put her head on her desk.
"Hey there sunshine," Danny said, walking in.
Her head shot up. "Who the hell do you think you are, walking in here like that?" She yelled.
"Now is that any way to talk to the man you love?" He asked, moving closer to her desk.
"I do *not* love you!" She slapped him across the face.
"Just for that, I'm going to have to punish you even further," he said, putting a hand where CJ slapped him.
"Get out of this office now!" She screamed.
"Or what?" He crossed his arms.
"I'll call security and have you thrown out of the building, that's what. Now leave!"
"Okay, I'm going, but remember what I said." He walked to the door and opened it and left.
"Go to hell," she murmured to herself.
Later that evening, CJ left work and went to the hospital. "Knock, knock," she said as she walked into Derek's room where Toby still was.
"Hey there," he said as he pulled her into a hug.
"How was the rest of the day?"
"Well, Leo wants to kill us, Danny threatened me with further blackmail, to which I slapped him and threatened to have security throw him out of the building, and if the President finds out about this...Well, let's just say that I won't have to say anything about resigning." She slunk into a chair.
"You think the President is going to accept this?" Toby kneeled in front of her. "He's going to be mad, but more at Danny and the press then us."
"Toby, do you think he's not going to be mad at us? We have a legal document that we signed saying that we were Derek's parents. They can take us to court, the President is dealing with the MS trial, Danny is going to be right there everyday..."
"CJ." Toby hushed CJ with his finger on her mouth.
"Tomorrow, we will go talk to the President. And I will take care of Danny, don't worry about him."
"I don't want you to get into trouble with anything because of Danny..."
"I won't, trust me." Toby smiled. "We'll think of something." He sat next to her and they both looked at Derek.
"He looks better." CJ smiled.
"Yeah." Toby looked down. CJ could tell something was wrong. "Toby, what's wrong?"
"The cops were here. They told me that after he gets better, they were going to have to take him."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not his father."
"Toby, I'm..."
"It's ok." Toby looked at CJ. "It was only a matter of time before this all hit the fan. I just wish it was later then sooner."
"Yeah." CJ reached over and held Toby's hand. They sat there in silence, watching Derek sleep. Wishing nothing had gone wrong that day.
