"When did you know!?" I ask her ".... last month" last month!? "Why didn't you tell me!?"
"I begged him to send you home" "You should have told me" "I'm not sorry" boi, your not-wow "I knew you'd fight until the war was won" she continues "the war isn't done"
(Okay, you where in the war, better?)
"But you deserve a chance to meet your child" I'm not finished  "Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now" "Will you relish being a poor woman's husband unable to provide for your life?" She asks "I relish being your husband look around, look around... Look at where you are look at where you started the fact that you're alive is a miracle just stay alive, that would be enough and if this child shares a fraction of your smile
or a fragment of your mind, look out world! That would be enough I don't pretend to know the challenges you're facing the worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind but I'm not afraid I know who I married so long as you come home at the end of the day that would be enough we don't need a legacy we don't need money if I could grant you peace of mind if you could let me inside your heart... Oh, let me be a part of the narrative in the story they will write someday let this moment be the first chapter:
Where you decide to stay
And I could be enough
And we could be enough
That would be enough" at this point I was crying
{you POV}
You felt bad for your husband, you hugged him, and you hugged him good, "babe, I have to go out, you need to stay in office" you kissed Thomas on the nose. Lee sent a letter home and told everyone should go back to training, so you did so.

once (Y/N) was gone, I have my first meeting, to the room where is happens. I walk in "Ah, Mister, Secretary" I look at Lee "Mister, Lee, sir" "Didja hear the news about the good old General Gorge Washington?" Lee asks "no" I truly to act surprised "you know the duel round?" Of course I do "yeah" Lee continues "they renamed it after him. The Mercer legacy is secure" hmm... interesting "huh" "and all he did, was die" i widened my eyes like I was surprised "that's a lot less work" lee looks at me dead in the eye "we oughta give it a try" I swallow and nervously laugh "Ha" "now how're you gonna get your debt plan through?" Fuck... "I guess I will finely have to listen to you" he looked surprised "really?" "I'm a General" he smiles "Ha" I continue "Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor" I stand up "now, (Y/N), and John Laurens are merciless" my heart sinks... when did (Y/N) get pulled into this? "Jefferson!" Being called "sorry Lee, gotta go" "but-" I cut him off "decisions are happening over dinner"
{Lee Pov}
"Three Virginians walk into a room, Diametric'ly opposed, foes they emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were previously closed the immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power a system he can shape however he wants the Virginians emerge with the nation's capital and here's the pièce de résistance:
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens. Thomas clams-"
{Thomas Pov}
I have to role with it "(Y/N) said "I have no where else to turn!" And basic'ly begged me to join the fray" I walk over to Madison "I approached Madison and said "I know you hate 'im, but let's hear what she has to say" Madison looks at me then John Adams "Well, I arranged the meeting I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating"
{Lees Pov}
But, no one was in the room where it happened 
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in—
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one really knows how the
Parties get to yesssss
The pieces that are sacrificed in
Ev'ry game of chesssss
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens.
Meanwhile-
Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev'ry issue can be settled by committee
Meanwhile-
Congress is fighting over where to put the capital-
Company screams in chaos
It isn't pretty
Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite
And Madison responds with Virginian insight:
{Madison Pov}
Why the fuck are they pulling (Y/N) into this!?
"Maybe we can solve one problem with another and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words—" "oh no!" Thomas interrupts, I look at him then continue "A quid pro quo" Thomas taps his chin "I suppose" he answers "Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?" He looks at me and smiles "Actually, I would" he looks over at me and smiles "Well, I propose the Potomac" he looks at me with determination in his eyes "And you'll provide her, her votes?" Let's hope mister John Adams isn't catching on "Well, we'll see how it goes" I answer honestly "Let's go"
{Lee, AGAIN}
No! One was in the room where it happened 
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in—
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
My God!
In God we trust
But we'll never really know what got discussed
Click-boom then it happened
And no one else was in the room where it happened
(Y/N) Hamilton!
What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?
(Y/N) Hamilton!
Did Washington know about the dinner?
Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?
(Y/N) Hamilton!
Or did you know, even then, it doesn't matter
Where you put the U.S. Capital?
Cuz we'll have the banks
We're in the same spot
You got more than you gave
And I wanted what I got
When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game
But you don't get a win unless you play in the game
Oh, you get love for it. You get hate for it
You get nothing if you...
Wait for it, wait for it, wait!
What do you want, what do you want?
If you stand for nothing Lee, what do you fall for?
I
Wanna be in
the room where it happens
The room where it happens
I
Wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
Hold your nose and close your eyes
We won't to send our leaders to save the day
But we don't get to say in what they trade away
We dream of a brand new start
But we dream in the dark for the most part
Dark as a tomb where it happens
I've got to be in
The room
I've got to be
I've got to be
Oh, I've got to be in
The room where it happens...
I've got to be, I've gotta be, I've gotta be...
In the room!
Click-boom!
