CJ,
What do I get Donna for her birthday? Seriously! We've been going out for two years and the roses and stuff was great last year, but, I can't do the same thing, can I? Would that suck?
You have to help me. You have to. We've been friends for how long?

Are you ignoring me? Not cool, Ms. Cregg. And if I find out that Danny's keeping you from your e-mail, I'll hold a grudge against him, too.

Okay. Is everything okay with CJ? I've been trying to get in touch with her all day and nothing. I mean, she's usually at work or getting her e-mail to her little blackcandy thing.
How's class?

I've been harassed by Josh again. Really, if you're trying to teach him a lesson, could you make sure he leaves me out of it?
Although, if something is wrong, I'd really like to know.
Hopefully, I'll hear from you soon,
Toby.

Hey guys,
The weather is perfection here... I am sitting on my porch, sipping fresh-squeezed orange juice, with Danny's dog (who I'm still not sure likes me) at at my feet. And I just felt like trying to make you a little jealous.
(Toby, I can see you rolling your eyes.)
Anyway, I'm writing because I just got back from the doctor's office and I have some exciting news: Danny and I are having a baby!
Everything's healthy so far... I'll have pictures after my next appointment if you want to see them. Danny's thrilled---I think he's going to start baby-proofing everything soon. I'm... well, we'll see. More scared than anything else right now. I can admit that.
So, when I have this little one registered at Baby Gap, I'll send you all the list ;)
Love,
CJ.

Are you as surprised as I am? I never thought... well, I just never thought CJ wanted to have children. Wow. They got right on that, didn't they?
Haven't seen you in a while... did you find a better coffee cart in the district? I won reservations at that new place, in an office draw; they're for next week, so if you're interested, let me know.

And I fully expect to be godfather. Or something else just as important. You got that?

This is incredible news! I'm only on my PDA right now, but when I go home, I'll forward you the list of reading materials you should read, and a list of baby supplies you'll need in nine months!
There are also a few magazines you should subscribe to, too, but I can take care of that for you.
TTYS,

Do you really think I'll be a good mother? I worry a lot about that... plus, I'm still working for Hollis' foundation, so I don't know what's going to happen. I hate not knowing.
I don't know what sort of information I want you passing onto Danny. You know, Andy told me about you greasing the nurse!

Thank you! I'm a little freaked out---but you survived fatherhood, so I guess I'll survive it, too, right?
How's Columbia? I read your manuscript (CJ left it out, I couldn't resist), and I think it's great. I hope you publish it soon!

Margaret,
I think we'll figure it out as we go along---CJ's bright, brighter than me anyway, and I'm sure she'll know what to do.
(But, if you have time, maybe you could help me by suggesting what the best cribs, carriers, etc. are? CJ's been gathering back issues of Consumer Reports, and it's kind of scary.)

Hey Sam, Josh,
I didn't mean to leave you guys out of the loop; but, I thought that with everything going on in D.C., you might not be checking your e-mail.
Anyway, everything here is fine. Better than fine, really. Danny and I are pregnant. Well, I'm pregnant, and he's just along for the very scary ride.
Josh, you e-mailed me while I was having a hospital blood test done to confirm the pregnacy. I had reached for my Blackberry but the nruse glared at me; so, I put it away. She was scary. Big and alpha and scary.
So, that's what's new with me. Call me when you guys have a free minute; we'll catch up.
Love,
CJ.

Haha -- no, we didn't plan it. We're happy about it, though. I'm not sure how we'll work out as parents, but together, we're happy about it.
I can hardly process it, either. Being a mother was the last thing I expected to be. But, maybe that's what's next, you know?
How are things with you? I saw a photo of you and Charlie out and about town a few weeks ago... any sparkage or are you two just talking about old times? C'mon... tell me the truth.

I'll check with Danny, but sure, you can be godfather. Of course... you're going to have to either move out here and finally accept the job offer I keep sending your way, or you'll have to find a way to suck us back into the D.C. world.
I saw you and Kate in a photo in a newspaper a while ago... Kate hasn't told me anything yet, but I was hoping since I'm going to make you my child's godfather, you'd throw me a bone. What is going on with you two?
TTYS,

Hey Danny,
CJ and I were talking, and I said that you guys should move back to D.C. I also think that CJ should run for senator or something. Don't you think she'd be great? I seriously think a few years of that and then she could run for President. CJ could take over the world, and be an awesome mother, all at the same time. Sit her down, would ya?
