    Summary

    Now he thinks of the kids they’ve seen on this trip, chubby babies in unbelievably tiny hats and toddlers running through the tide on unsteady legs. They were cute, sure, but didn’t inspire any real paternal instinct in him. But then he conjures up images of babies with blonde hair and dimples, with his complexion and Donna’s eyes, and something catches in his chest. If he’s being honest, he’s imagined those babies for years.

    Josh and Donna and their babies at the beach.

    Summary

    “Gather ye rosebuds,” she’d said, all impetuous, up on her knees on his damn bed, and it’s so confusing, the way he’s almost positive that’s she’s flirting with him sometimes, even as she actively pushes him towards other women.

    Gather ye rosebuds.
     
    Joey’s door is within sight now, but Josh turns around without knocking, without pausing or even slowing down, driven by something sharp and immediate that seems to be lodged directly behind his solar plexus.
     
    ** A one and done smutshot, canon-divergent from 20 Hours in LA, in which Josh realizes where his rosebuds are and goes back to his hotel room to gather them. **

    Summary

    Josh cracks the door open.

    Donna is sprawled out like a starfish on the queen-sized guest bed. The quilt is pulled up to about her waist, but her torso and arms are uncovered, revealing her red and white long-sleeved thermal Christmas pajamas. Her hair is a mess, splayed out all over the pillows, her cheeks all red. She has her fuzzy purple eye mask on and she groans as Josh enters the dark bedroom, his arms laden with provisions. 

    It’s terrible that she feels bad, it is, but she’s so cute right now that Josh can hardly help but grin.

    When everyone catches a bug during Bartlet Family Christmas, Josh takes care of Donna.

    Summary

    “I’m just saying,” Josh says around a mouthful of burnt burger, “Meg Ryan’s a professional actress. Like, a famous movie star. Of course she can fake it.”

    “You don’t think other women do, and get away with it?” Donna stabs a fork into her salad, flickering her brows at him. “You don’t think I could?”

    Josh splutters his Yoo-Hoo so hard that he has to sop it up with a napkin. “I never said that!”

    Summary

    She knows this much even by 8:37 in the morning, closing her lips around a spoonful of peach Yoplait, sucking the spoon clean as she observes Josh performing a truly moronic victory dance that has absolutely no right to be in any way alluring: tonight she’ll read those lines again, and yearn for him again, and burn alone in her apartment again, and bleed into her diary again, and feel that familiar pink-cheeked shame singeing the edges of her pleasure when she touches herself again as she thinks about the way he moves.

    The thing is, there are rules.

    In which Josh and Donna fall into each other, gradually and then head-long, without ever really talking about it.
