"why the interest in my boy? you have to understand i respect you all here, this community but think of me as an employee, small talk but personal i rather not get into it."

"I understand"

She stops herself and asks.

"that baby, the one you carry know my door is open if you want me to check you over."

He places his hand over her stomach and smiles whispering.

"it is a wild one with those kicks."

He stares into Maggie's eye sand smirks.

"we will make sure that baby lives long."

He brings his hand down and turns into the house shutting the door. Senator Reid places his back to the door and undoes his suit jacket. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the small pictures of his family. He traces the image of his wife and places his hand to her picture whispering.

"i won't be weak this time."

he folds the picture and places it into his pocket and stares around the room and stops in front of a recliner and sits down into it staring around him.
