Table O' Fic
Abbey is sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by sheets of paper. She's aware that Jed's standing at the door but she doesn't look up. She knows he likes to watch her.
And she likes him watching her.
He clears his throat and she glances up at last, feigning innocence. "Hey, babe. You're up early tonight."
"I snuck out while no one was looking." He smiles. "I heard someone let a beautiful woman into the building. Thought I'd go find her."
"Well, good luck with that."
"Oh, I think I may have found her." Jed crosses the room. He shifts the papers aside and sits next to Abbey, then kisses her. "When did you get back?"
"About an hour ago."
He kisses her again. "I missed you, you know."
"Jed, I was gone for eight hours."
He gives a fake sigh. "I take it you didn't miss me, then."
"Not one bit."
"Well, I'm just going to go back downstairs. I'm sure there's a crisis somewhere in the world that needs my attention."
He stands, but Abbey grabs his hand and tugs him back down onto the bed.
"So, how was the trip?"
"Good."
"I saw you on TV. 'First Lady's Surprise Appearance at Orphanage'. I thought you were supposed to visit a hospital today."
"I did. The orphanage was across the road." Abbey leans back against the pillows. "How much trouble am I in?"
"I don't know. Did you sneak any of the kids back with you?"
She gives him a look he has no trouble interpreting.
"Well, then, I guess you're fine." He picks up a sheet of paper. "What's all this?"
"Fanmail," Abbey says with a grin. "From all the children."
The letter comes with a picture of a cat. "'Dear Mrs. Bartlet. Do you like cats? Cats are my favourite animal. Does the president like cats? I like the president but I like you more. You're real pretty. Love from Billy.'"
Jed looks at her. "How old is Billy?"
"Ten, I think."
"Good. Then I have nothing to worry about. 'Dear Mrs. Bartlet. I'm real glad I could meet you. Please don't forget us. Maybe one day we could visit you at your house. That would be super cool. I'll miss you. From Samantha.'"
Jed puts the letter down. "You know, we should do that."
"Do what?"
"Invite your fan club up here. Let's give them a special Christmas, here at the White House."
Abbey recognizes the glint in Jed's eye; he is not going to let go of this idea. "Okay, on one condition: you have to play Santa."
"Okay," he says, "but then do I get to be president of your fan club?"
"I don't know. You may have to fight Billy for that position."
He leans forward, pinning her in place with his body. "Dear Dr. Bartlet. My name's Jed and I'm your number one fan. In fact, I think I may be in love with you. Can I kiss you?"
She laughs.
