Set in 2011

"John she is Pregnant" Jack said to his agent John Ready as the doctors worked on his wife A sniper in Dealey Plaza had opened fire on his  limo

John nodded that was common knowledge with all of the agents.

Jack and his wife  Abby were in the back while his Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the front with his wife Lady Bird. Lyndon had asked the first couple to sit on the back.

Jack had agreed he didn't mind the back seat. He noticed Lyndon acting funny he thought nothing about it. His grandfather John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been killed on the same day in 1963. He had been riding in an open car he had been shot in the head. His father Joseph Sr was twenty one  With a five month old son. He had been his only child. A lot had happened in his family in the last few years his brother Joe Jr had been paralyzed in a car accident a few weeks after he and Joe had joined the Senate. Joe was driving their sister Kick and brother in law Billy to the airport. Kick and Billy were unhurt. Kick had felt terrible. Jack decided to run for the Presidency.

"Mrs. Kennedy is seven months pregnant." John spoke up, as he knew Abby was dead. He had known when he saw her.

Jack had held her in his arms he kept telling her he loved her. If only he hadn't switched seats with her why had he done that? Jack paced the room. Whoever was behind this would be caught and brought to justice.

"Can you save my wife please save my baby save my little boy?" Jack said as he held his wrist he had been shot in his wrist. He just wanted to make sure his wife and child were alright.

His cell phone rang it was his brother Bobby

"Bobby she-she- may-die- Bobby I killed her." Jack said he was dazed he really didn't know what to think or what to do.

"Jack what happened?"

"Bobby I killed Abby I switched spots with her. I had her killed."

"Jack what are you talking about?" Bobby stopped on the other end he knew his brothers voice he had seen the news they were saying Abby was alive but could die he swallowed and spoke, "Jack do-"

"Yes I want you in Texas. I didn't mean to kill her. Bobby my son may die. I'm a killer." Jack said trying to be strong. Bobby could sense Jack was ready to burst.

"Jack calm down I'll be there as soon as I can."

Jack put his phone beside him John looked at Jack he was pale his face stained with tears

Jack watched the doctors tried to save his son they had Abby breathing on a ventilator.

John looked at him

"I know she is dead." Jack whispered

"Sir is there anything for you?" John asked

"No, Can you just sit here with me?" Jack whispered his voice full of sadness

John nodded, "Yes Sir I can do that" he said as he slipped Jack's phone into his pocket knowing Jack would forget about it in his condition.

"Mr. President you're going to have to leave."

"No I'm not leaving." Jack said crossing his arms he winced in pain. He un crossed them

They heard the sound of a baby crying.

At 1pm, Dr. Jenkins pulled a sheet over Abby's face while another member of the team Dr Kemp Clark was given the onerous task of informing Jack his wife was dead.

"Mr. President your wife is dead. However, you have a son. We are going to take him to the nursery."

Unable to speak, Jack mouthed, "I know."
