The Senator's Twin Daughters

Chapter 22

*This chapter will go back and forth between both Jackie's and Jack's POVs.

Jackie's POV Cont...

Jackie looks over at Jack, who hasn't said anything, but his face shows he isn't pleased. Right now could not be the worst time for John Husted to make a return. When she finally sorted her feelings toward John Kennedy the other John comes and tries to throw a wrench into their relationship.

"John you can't expect me to just up and move back in with you. Just because you apologized doesn't make everything you did, right. I don't even know if I can trust you anymore," Jackie says looking at him.

"Look buttercup, I know I messed up throughout our relationship and marriage. But I'm a changed man now, I gave up all the women. I don't want that life anymore, I want you, Arabella, and Caroline to come back with me so we can be a happy family."

"What about Arabella and Caroline's well-being? You want me to snatch them up and take them away from their father? This is the life they have come to know since I left New York now you want me to change everything to make you happy.

"No! Buttercup, believe me, Belle and Care Bear's happiness are most important to me. Besides his family is loaded with money, so it's not like he can't come and visit them," John says sitting back on the couch and pointing at Jack."

Jack's POV...

He can't believe this shit is happening. All he wanted was to spend time with Jackie and make out some more. Then here comes her stupid ex-husband messing everything up. He be damned if John Husted thinks he can waltz in and leave with Jackie and his daughters. He's worked too hard to let him come in and put an end to what he and Jackie have.

"So what if my family has money, still doesn't give you the right to think you can come in and try to take my daughters away from me," he says before Jackie can respond.

"Your daughters!? That's funny Kennedy, considering you have only been in their lives for what? Less than a year and yet I have been in their lives since they took their first steps. Had you not been such a prick and picked up the phone when my wife called then I would not have to step in and do your job," Husted snaps back.

"I'm your ex-wife John," Jackie says exasperated.

"Look you, silly bastard, you have no right to sit here and judge me! Those are my daughters, my flesh and blood. I sure as hell won't let you walk in here and take them away from me! Who the fuck do you think you are? He says standing up.

"Who the fuck do you think you are Kennedy!? Just because you are running for President doesn't make you better than the average Joe!" John says walking up to him and looking him in the eye.

If John Husted were to swing at him, he would, sure enough, knock his silly ass to the other side of the room. It may have been some years since he was in the Navy, but having an older brother like Joseph P. Kennedy Jr, he knew how to defend himself if needed. Just then Jackie stands between the two of them.

"BOTH OF YOU JUST STOP IT NOW!," Jackie yells coming between the two of them, "The last thing I need the two of you to do is to wake the girls up. So I strongly suggest both of you sit down or both of you again can leave!

John looks at him and then takes a seat on the sofa. Before Jackie could sit back down, he grabs her and kisses her passionately. So passionately, he could have almost sucked all the air out of her lungs. Then to piss Husted off even more he dips Jackie in his direction just so he can get a full view of him kissing his woman.

Jackie's POV...

Once she and Jack stop kissing she tries to get over the shock of what just happened. The last thing she expected was for Jack to kiss her like that and so thoroughly. Just as she turns to sit down she then feels him pat her on the rear which causes her to blush.

"That was cute Kennedy, was that supposed to make me jealous? What Jackie and I had was real. You would have to try harder than with that little stunt," John snaps.

"Look! John, Jack and I are together now. You still haven't answered my question as to why you want me back now?" she says.

"Because I still love you Buttercup, I never stopped loving you. I know I didn't put up much of a fight when you decided to get the annulment, but I'm ready to be the man you need. Besides what sounds better baby," John says taking her hand, where she couldn't easily move her hand away, "I know you Jackie you're not someone who would want the whole world following you and the girls around. That is what will happen if you be with him and follow him to the White House. You wouldn't have any sense of privacy Jackie, Secret Service is following you and the girls' every move."

Jackie hears Jack suck his teeth. She didn't think too much about that aspect if Jack were to win the election. She knew being with a Politician is one thing, but being with the President is a completely different level of fame. Jack did tell her that he would want her and the girls to move into the White House to be safe, and of course, they would receive their own Secret Service agents.

"Jackie, please don't tell me you are about to let him scare you. You know I wouldn't let anything happen to you and the girls," she hears Jack say.

She takes a deep breath and feels like she needs her space.

"Think about it Jackie, you could come back to New York with me. I have a friend from Yale who is the Chief Editor for the New York Times. I could talk to him and you could work there instead of the Times Herald. You would have more notoriety as a writer than the wife of some politician whose father bought him his way to the top," John says smiling, "please Buttercup give us a second chance?"

She looks over at Jack and then back at John...

Jack's POV...

He sits there watching as Jackie's sorry excuse for an ex-husband tries to turn her against him. He hates to admit it, but he's scared because it seems as if Jackie may seriously consider taking him back. He knows Politics brings its own kind of celebrity, especially being First Lady, but he would make sure nothing would happen to Jackie or his daughters. Even with Secret Service, they would still be able to live their lives normally. Still, he knows Jackie is a fiercely private person, and the thought of having millions wanting to follow her every move is something she isn't comfortable with.

"Jackie please don't tell me you are taking what he says seriously?" he asks.

"He does have a point, Jack," Jackie says turning to face him.

He looks at her and can't believe she is falling for his shit. What happened to her trusting him, and most importantly what happened to her being in love with him? Not too long ago she told him she loved him.

"Jackie what about us? What about us becoming a family?" he asks feeling his world begin to fall apart.

Jackie looks at him and then back at John.

"Jackie? I can't believe this shit! You are really going to let this bastard come between what we have?"

"Aww don't cry Kennedy, she's just coming to her senses. Your time is up so I suggest you get back to the campaign trail and let me and my family go on with the rest of our lives," John says pulling Jackie towards him.

Jackie snatches her arm away from him, before covering her face with her hands.

Not saying another word he decides to leave before he slap the silly grin off of Husted's face.

"Fine Jackie, if this is what you want. Understand one thing Husted, you will not keep me away from my daughters," he says before walking out of the house and slamming the door.

When he gets inside the car he slams his hands on the steering wheel. Husted knew exactly how to get her and sadly she fell right into his trap...
