Moments By Michelle Disclaimer- These characters are the property of NBC, Aaron Sorkin, or whoever. I'm not writing this for profit in any way, shape, or form, but because I have a lot of spare time on my hands. Author's Notes- Okay, this is bizarre. I started writing this in class, cause I couldn't get the idea out of my head. I don't use any names, but it's pretty obvious who I'm talking about. I just really liked the idea that popped into my end, the idea of writing a simple love story for my favourite couple. I'm thinking about writing a couple of others along the same lines, what do you think? Should I do it? Well, that's all, feedback is very, very welcome! Spoilers- Minor ones for everything up to War Crimes. Rating- PG --- Sometimes it's not about fairy tales and a love that never dies, sometimes it doesn't happen instantly. Sometimes it's all about moments. That's what happened in this case. Their love story began simply. They came together during a quest for the White House. There were no fireworks, no moment of recognition, no instant connection. It just happened. She needed to feel valuable and he needed someone to sort out the chaos in which he lived. Each offered the other what they needed. He gave her a purpose and she kept him organised. So that's how it happened. They came together and though neither of them realized it, something began to build between them. Then something big and drastic happened. She was forced to realize how much he meant to her when she almost lost him. And nearly dying taught him a lesson about what was important in life. Yet, it wasn't the right time. They each thought about it, but then pushed the thought aside. After all, they knew it wouldn't work between them. Not at that moment in time. Despite what they each felt and what they believed the other might feel, they knew that it could not work just then. There were obstacles keeping them apart. So they each kept quiet, content with what they had. Then more moments came. He fell apart and she helped him get back together, the world fell apart, and neither knew what to do. It was all either could do to keep themselves together. So, she made a mistake. She wanted to feel, she wanted safety, and comfort. She wanted what she couldn't from him, not then. So she found a nice guy, one who might be able to make her happy. But, it wasn't meant to be. He was the enemy. Because of her weakness, it almost all fell apart. Yet, he forgave her, and in time things went back to the way they had been before. Then, another big moment happened. They completed their quest, the world was theirs again. Four more years of doing their best. Four more years of the White House. Yet, now that that obstacle was out of the way, things could move together. The right moment finally came. He asked her out, she said yes. And, so, they came together. No one was surprised. Everyone had known it was inevitable, they were just happy for them. Happy that they had found one another. Though, his best friend made comments about how long it took him to get his act together. He didn't care, because he had finally gotten it right. After that the next few months were happy. Then, six years after she walked into his life, six months after they finally got it together, another moment came. He asked her to marry him and with shining eyes, she said yes. A few months later they were married in the White House Rose Garden, and the President of the United States filled in for the father she never spoke to and gave her away. It was a wedding right out of a fairy tale. It was a perfect moment. One that was joined with another joyous moment not quite a year later. The birth of their first child. Then a year later, the birth of their second son, followed three years after that by the birth of their daughter. The moments kept coming. Good and bad. They had problems, struggles, like everyone else. But the good moments out weighed the bad. They left the White House, but came back a few decades later this time as President and First Lady. In between they had a home in Connecticut, raised their children, while he served as a Senator. There had been sad moments, like the deaths of beloved mentors. But the legacy continued. The two of them had eight years in the White House, during which time they were presented with a couple of grandchildren, and he had the joy and sadness of giving away his beloved only daughter's hand in marriage to the son of the man who had been like a brother to him through the years. More moments came. They left the White House and returned home. But the years had snuck on them. Their friends began to leave them. Time had snuck up on them when they weren't looking. They both began to accept the fact that they were getting old. Then, one day, the saddest moment of all came, his heart gave out and he left her. She made it through the funeral, but only a few days later, she passed away quietly in her sleep. Her children were sad, but they had been expecting it. They had always known that their parents lived for one another and that without their father, their mother hadn't been whole. They were at peace now, together. So it ended as simply as it began. A story of a love not sparked by a forbidden passion, but built with respect and friendship into something enduring. It was all about moments. The End
