Chapter 4

Jack's bedroom

8am

Jack was woken by a large pounding on the door. He opened it with his hair still a mess. "God, Kenny what is it?"

"Sir, just to let you know that you might need to do a radio interview today, with Cronkite at CBS" Kenny said. "Pierre asked me to remind you". Jack sighed. He didn't want to do interviews, he wanted to stay and look after Jackie and the baby. But he knew he had to. "Ok then, what time at?" Jack asked, ruffling his hair.

"At 11am sir"

Jack nodded. "Clear my schedule afterwards"

"Why?"

"Well..." Jack started. "I want to come home to Jackie and relax and also... Jackie's pregnant" Jack told him. Kenny shook his hand right away. "Congratulations sir!". Jack laughed. "Thank you" he laughed. "And yes, right away! I will clear your schedule. Just make sure, you're at the Diplomatic Reception Room to leave for the CBS headquarters for the interview" Kenny tapped his watch before Jack shut the door.

10:45am

Jackie fixed her husband's tie. "Will you listen to the radio interview for me?" Jack asked, shaking like a leaf. "Of course I will" Jackie smiled. "I wouldn't miss it for the world" Jackie patted Jack's cheek before kissing him. It took away all his nerves. He smiled. Jackie walked her husband to the stairs before turning to go back to her room.

"Oh Jackie!" Jack called quickly. Jackie spun around.

"How do I look? Like Presidential. Not too old?" Jack joked. Jackie gave him a thumbs up. "You look fine. Young and Presidential at the same time" Jackie smiled before Jack dashed down the stairs.

Yellow Oval Room

12pm

Jackie had listened to the interview and was sitting on the sofa with Caroline and John. Looking through old photograph albums, they were quite in their element. "There's daddy and me at our wedding" Jackie smiled. She cried whenever she saw her wedding photos. However they were tears of happiness, as it was one of the times where she was extremely happy.

Jackie then closed the book. "Kids, there is something I want to tell you" Jackie said as she looked down on her children. They looked at her.

"What mommy?" John asked.

"Well, daddy knows and I know but keep this a secret for just know. Ok?" Jackie made sure they didn't spread it. She took a deep breath. "You're both, going to have a new sibling. Daddy and I are expecting another baby" Jackie grinned. Caroline and John looked at each other before grinning and hugging their mother.

John being his adorable little self, asked her. "Does Kick know?". Jackie laughed. "Oh she's too young to understand but we will tell her" Jackie beamed. Caroline and John were over the moon!
