1956: A Kennedy Story

Chapter 116

October 29, 1956

Jack sighed as he left, yet again, another interview, being the youngest man to run for the presidency made it so a lot of eyes were focused on you. Not to mention when you were a roman catholic.

He had a lot of work to do if he wanted to become the most powerful man in the world.

As he exited the interview he was suprised by the sight of his wife and daughter.

"Jackie! What are you doing here?" Jack asked.

"Well I decided to drop by, maybe we could go out for lunch?" jackie asked sheepishly.

Jack nodded thoughtfully,"I don't think I have anything from now until 3:00, I have a Senate meeting then.

Jackie nodded,"Ok, that gives us two hours, the nearest restraunt is Jackson's Diner."

"Haven't been there before, sounds intresting." Jack said.

Jackie nodded,"I've been there once, the food is wonderful."

"Well." Jack said,"If you like then unless if it's French Food, I like."
Jackie laughed and accepted the arm he had put out for her to link with.

Jackson's Diner

"It's so nice that Bella can eat normal food now." Jackie said, observing their daughter chewing up mushed mangoes, obviously her favorite food.

Jack nodded,"Maybe. But now we have to deal with mushed peas flying at our heads."

Jackie laughed.

Bella swallowed the bite Jackie had put into her mouth and wanted more so said, to the best of her ability,"Mama foo!"

Jack leaned back in his chair,"It still feels weird that she's talking now. Seems amazing, how life works, doesn't it?"

Jackie raised her eyebrows at him as she put another spoonful of mangoes in her daughter's mouth.

"It is amazing Jack." she said, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Jack sighed in content and breathed in her shampoo, which was really strong, but he loved the smell.

Bella seemed content with the amount of food she'd eaten and fell asleep.

A few moments later the waiter showed up,"What can I get you Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy?"

"I'd like the Jackie's burger with steak fries." Jack said.

Jackie smiled at him and turned to order,"I'd like the Classic Salad and your Jasmine's Touch Meal."

The waiter nodded as he scribbled down the orders,"It'll be right out." he said and exited.

"I'm suprised we're not being mobbed by press." Jackie said absentmindly.

Jack shrugged,"I wouldn't be so sure of that." he nodded toward the window, Jackie dropped the water in her hand,"Oh!" she said, in shock to see about 20 news reporter's at the window photographing and filming them.

At that moment the waiter arrived back with the food. Jack said,"I think we'll take that to go."
