The Addition ~ 23

"Toby," Sam said as he caught up with him in the hall.

"Yes," Toby said, turning to Sam.

Sam smiled, "So what does Maddie think about all of this? Is she happy?"

"Well, let's just say that she couldn't stop smiling at the two of us."

He laughed a little, "Well, that's great. Congratulations again."

"Thanks," he said, smiling.

The two walked into their offices and started their work for the day.

"Good morning, Carol," CJ said with a smile as she got her messages and mail.

"Morning bo--" Carol looked at CJ's hand. "CJ, are you and Toby..."

"Engaged?" CJ said, finishing the sentence. "Yes, we are. Last night."

"Wow, congratulations! I knew the two of you would hook up." She smiled.

CJ smiled back and got ready for her briefing. She knew that she was going to have to tell the press something, so she decided to tell them at that moment. She took her things and walked into the Briefing Room.

"Good morning," she said, stepping up to the podium. "I would like to start off with-”

"CJ!"

"Yes, Steve?"

"It could just be me, but is that a..."

"Ring? Why yes it is. You are so observant." She said sarcastically.

"CJ!" Katie called.

"Yes, Katie?"

"Is it true that you are dating Toby Ziegler?"

"The lives of the senior staff are private, Katie. After three and a half years here I thought you'd know that by now." She said.

"Then why the ring," another reporter inquired.

CJ sighed. Here it came. "Okay, yes, it's true that Toby Ziegler and I are currently a pair...And engaged. Toby Ziegler and I are engaged," she repeated.

Toby smiled as he watched the briefing. "I knew it," he said out loud to himself.

"Knew what," Ginger asked, walking into his office.

"She announced it," he said, turning to Ginger, smiling.

Ginger looked at him. "What did she announce?"

"Our engagement," he said proudly.

"You two are engaged?! Oh Toby, that's wonderful," she said.

"Thank you," he said.

"So you're going to be a husband and a dad?"

"Yep. Currently I am what CJ likes to call a surrogate father."

"How cute." She smiled and walked out of the office.

Toby watched her. He knew she was going to tell all of the other secretaries about it. He smiled to himself and got back to work when Bonnie walked in.

"Toby?"

"Yeah?"

"You have a call on line three."

"Okay, thanks." He picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello Toby, it's Mrs. Harris, CJ's neighbor."

"Hi...Is something wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice.

"No nothing is wrong at all. Someone just wants to say hi, and I figured it would be okay just for a minute..."

He smiled. "Put her on."

There was a small pause in the conversation as she gave the phone to her."

"Dada!" Maddie finally said.

"Hey there, pumpkin. How are you feeling?"

"Dada love!" She exclaimed happily, not understanding the second part of what Toby said.

"I love you too," he said as he saw CJ walk into the office.

Mrs. Harris then came back on the line, "She just had to tell you that she loves you and hello."

"Well thank you for calling me. How is she, by the way?"

"Peppy. Very peppy," she said. "She seems like her normal self again."

"That's good. Listen, I have to get going. We'll see you this evening."

"Okay. Maddie, can you say bye bye," she said, putting the phone to her ear.

"Dada bye bye," she said.

"Bye bye sweetie. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Otay," she said.

Toby hung up after he heard the dial tone. He turned to CJ. "Well, you probably know who was on the phone."

"Yes, I did. How cute." She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I saw the briefing," he said with a smile.

"Good, I'm glad. I was hoping you would watch it."

"I love you, Claudia Jean."

"I love you too, Toby Zachary Ziegler."
