Jack and Jackie's lounge
For only two night, the First Couple would be staying at Arlington House before spending the rest of the time in Virginia, in Richmond. However tonight was special.
The First Couple huddled in front of the television. Jack's hand resting on Jackie's growing baby bump. Tonight Pierre would be making the official announcement at the White House. Jackie's heart raced. She could feel Jack caressing her bump and she liked it. She rested her head on his and he liked that.
Then the Presidential seal came on the screen.
We interrupt this programme to bring you an official statement from the White House.
The national anthem played before Pierre appeared on the screen at the podium.
"The First Couple of the United States have asked me to issue this statement to the country. They are delighted to announce that they are expecting a child. The First Family request privacy at this time. Thank you". Pierre nodded before the programme Jack and Jackie watched came back on the screen.
Jack clicked off the TV. "Well let's be prepared for lots more media attention on this campaign now" Jack joked. Jackie laughed. "Yes. Lets". They passionately kissed.
