February 14th
GW Hospital
Jack sat in the private waiting room, trembling with worry. Childbirth was the most intimidating thing for him, after the loss of Patrick.
Jackie had been in labour for hours. She had arrived at the hospital at 11am yesterday. It was nearly 2am on Valentine's Day.
Jack sat, his head resting on the wall waiting for news. He began to fall asleep until the door opened. Dr Walsh entered.
He smiled.
"Mr President. Mrs Kennedy was delivered of a healthy son" Dr Walsh told the President.
Jack stood up. "He's healthy?" Jack asked stunned. Dr Walsh nodded. "Yes Mr President. Mother and baby are both fine".
Jack grinned before quietly dissolving into tears, but tears of joy.
Around ten minutes later, he entered his wife's bedroom. He found her propped up in bed, and she sat holding their son.
"Hello bunny" Jackie smiled, turning to her husband. Jack let out a few more tears, before Jackie sat the baby back in it's crib.
The First Couple embraced and kissed before Jack sat on Jackie's bed. "Is the baby okay?" Jack asked. Jackie nodded, letting out a few tears.
"Yes Jack" Jackie quietly sobbed. "He's fine".
Jack smiled before kissing his wife again. "Do you want to meet him?" Jackie asked, handing their son to the President.
"What should we call him?" Jack asked.
"I like William" Jackie smiled. Jack was confused. "Why William?" He asked. Jackie explained.
"After William Wallace" Jackie explained. "He is the Guardian of the Country that I fell pregnant in" Jackie smirked.
Jack laughed before nodding. "I'm sure the people of Scotland will love that".
