Irene Fitzgerald Kennedy

Meet Caroline

Irene went into Jackie's room. "How are you feeling, Mrs. Kennedy?"

"I'm alright. Irene, sit. We need to talk woman to woman before I have this baby. I'm your mother now. Please don't call me Mrs. Kennedy."

"But I thought you didn't want me to call you mom?"

"That was until this morning. Irene, I don't know what I would've done without you this morning. Thank you for everything. I-"

"Jackie!" Jack said running into the room. He kissed Irene and Jackie. A nurse followed him in.

"Mrs. Kennedy, it's time to go."

Jack kissed her and they wheeled her away leaving Irene and Jack to wait with all of the other expectant fathers.

"Hey," Jack said patting her hand, "You did good today, Irene."

She smiled at him. They waited for awhile until a nurse carried out a pink bundle, "Mr. Kennedy, I'd like you to meet your Caroline Bouvier Kennedy."

Jack smiled as the nurse placed her in his arms, "Caroline, this is your sister, Irene," he said handing her to Irene after a few minutes. Irene cradled her and began to cry. This was what she had missed out on for sixteen years.
