A Presidential Affair

The Wedding

    The last four months leading up to the wedding has been hectic for Jackie. Planning a wedding, ordering new furniture, arranging Victoria's nursery, getting settled in her new role as First Lady as well as officially announcing her leaving the Senate.

    Of course with her announcing her giving up her seat came the announcement of their engagement and her moving into the White House to live with Jack.

The announcements came with much excitement as well as some criticism. Unexpectedly Jack's approval rating went up rather than going down much to the relief of his aides.

    It is the day before her and Jack's wedding and Jackie has to admit that she is nervous. Why?  She just assumes that it's just pre-wedding jitters. Still, she has a strange feeling that something is going to happen tomorrow. She doesn't want to think negatively about her wedding day, but the feeling.

Tonight she is going to relax in her bedroom that she shares with Jack even though he wouldn't be staying there tonight due to the old tradition that the bride and groom couldn't see each other for twenty-four hours before the wedding. Her bachelorette party was the night before and Jackie just wants to spend her last day as a single woman relaxing before a very exhausting day tomorrow.

     Jack is staying at a luxury hotel just blocks away from the White House where his bachelor party is currently taking place in his suite. The room is full of cigar smoke and the bar is constantly flowing with liquor. Jack is reclined in a chair puffing away on a cigar. He is caught up in his thoughts about Jackie when his brother Bobby sits down next to him.

"Earth to Jack," Bobby says waving his hand in front of Jack's face.

"What?" Jack asks looking at Bobby.

"Just seeing if you were ok? You look like you're out of it. You aren't nervous are you?"

"No, I'm fine I was just thinking," Jack replies before taking another puff of his cigar.

"Well, we can say this party is better than your first one. At least you're no sitting here stressing like the first time."

"Well because this time I know that my bride really loves me," Jack says smiling.

"You're right about that brother," Bobby says raising his glass

Jack raises his glass and the brothers take a drink in honor of Jackie.

Just as they set their glasses down Ted announce the arrival of entertainment.

Jack looks at Bobby who shakes his head. He should have known that his little brother just couldn't help himself.

Jackie is sitting in her and Jack's bed reading a book with a glass of wine on the nightstand. The phone begins to ring and she could only wonder who could be calling her at this time of the night. She picks up the phone but doesn't hear anything.

"Hello," Jackie says waiting for a reply.

Just then the person hangs up. Jackie shrugs and continues to read her book. Twenty minutes later the phone rings and she again picks it up to hear anyone say anything. This happens again which causes Jackie to become nervous.

"Mr. Hill,' Jackie calls out knowing that her Secret Service Agent is on the other side of the door.

"Yes Senator Bouvier," Clint responds opening the door.

"Someone keeps calling here but not saying anything when I pick up. Is it possible that someone can find out who is calling here?" Jackie asks with a small amount of fear in her voice.

"Yes Senator, I'll get right on it," Clint replies leaving the room leaving Jackie alone again.

Looking at the clock on the nightstand it's a little past eleven pm and in twelve hours she will be getting married. Jackie place her bookmarker in the book and lay down.
