1956: A Kennedy Story

Chapter 93

April 12, 1956

Jackie awoke with her morning sickness same as always. For once she was grateful for it. It meant she still had a daughter that was alive inside her.

She kissed her hand and placed it on her stomach, she was starting to show though it was hardly noticeable, Jackie knew she had to inform the public soon but she was nervous as of what they would think as it was so soon after the incident with Ted.

She shuddered, that came into her mind scarily often, some dark, twisted side of her liked the kiss and wanted it again, it wanted to be a bad girl. But the majority of her brain hated that Teddy did this and loved Jack.

Jackie wiped her mouth of the vomit and stood like she always did to get mouthwash.

After washing her mouth she felt to awake to go back to sleep like normal, and by some miracle she hadn't awoken Jack so he still slept soundly.

Jackie decided to check on Bella, it was about the time she would cry to be fed.

She walked into her daughter's room, exhausted, every night for the past three months at twelve she'd wake up and feed Bella then fall back asleep and wake up at three to throw up and then at four wake again to have to feed Bella, then at eight, when Jack left she had to feed Bella again. It was absolutely exhausting and she fiercly longed for proper sleep.

Bella was awake and looked ready to cry so Jackie rushed over to her and fed her before she awoke Jack who had, reportedly been falling asleep during the Senate meetings.

Jackie yawned and decided, perhaps she did need some sleep.

So she stretched and walked back to her room to sleep.
