This is an AU fic, Peter has just won the election as Governor, he and Alicia have 4 children. This fic is about the First Family of Chicago and will have little about politics or Law. I should also state, I am not American, I dont know much about America law and politics, but could tell you anything about Scotland and Britain. I also suffer quiet badly from dyslexia, and sometime struggle with my fics.

So how is this going to work?" Claudia asked. Claudia was the 13 year old daughter of Alicia and Peter. Her Father had just won the election to be Governor of Illinois, and now they were being moved to the Governors mansion in Springfield.

"We have been through this" Peter explained, "You and your brother and sisters will stay in Chicago with your Mother during the week, and then come to Springfield with me at the weekend"

"But I'll see you less then" Claudia said sadly. It was 5 years now since Peter had been in jail, although he and Alicia were not back together in the sense that a traditional man and wife would be, they were getting closer and often found them self in bed together, or the bath, or campaign bus, but the world thought they were together.

"Honey, I'll still have my house in Highland Park, you know the Governor has to spend a lot of time in Chicago, you will see me all the time" Peter said.

The family were sitting in the family room of Alicia's apartment, Peter was so happy when the whole family were together; they had a large family with 4 children. Zach was 18, this was his final year at school and he would be off to college shortly, Grace was 16, she had turned into a beautiful young woman, and Peter was wanting to take advantage of secret service which he was now entitled to for his family, although his kids and wife had protested about this, but the second Grace had a boyfriend, she would have protection from secret service, no matter what Alicia or Grace said about it. Claudia was his 13 year old daughter who was quickly followed by Louisa, the baby of the family at 10 years old.

"Daddy, will we have our own bedroom in Springfield?" Louisa asked, at the moment the 2 younger girls had to share in Alicia's apartment, although when they went to stay with Peter in Highland Park they had their own rooms.

"Yes, you can have your own room" Peter replied happily.

"OK Louisa, time for bed" Alicia said "Maybe Daddy would like to tuck you in"

"Yes please" the youngest girl shouted. Louisa was very much like Grace with long fair hair, whereas Claudia and Zach had dark hair like their Mum.

Peter picked Louisa up over his shoulder and tickled her causing her to squeal with giggles.

"Daddy, that tickles" she shouted between giggles.

Alicia smiled, she loved Peter spending time with the kids and the past 5 years had been difficult as she felt she was doing most things on her own. Particularly when it came to the kids. Peter was there for them if she called him, but he was busy with campaigning which caused him to travel all around the state.

"Claudia, can you go get ready for bed"

"But its Friday night, and I thought we were celebrating Dad's victory"

"We were, but its 10pm and already past your bedtime"

Alicia said

"But, that's not fair, I'm not doing it, you can't make me go to bed" Claudia replied loudly as Peter walked out of the bedroom, Louisa had fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, Peter had hardly got a few pages of her story read.

"Claudia, do as your Mother says, go on" Peter said with his eyebrow raised

"That's not fair I don't want to go to bed" she said

"I just said get ready for bed, I didn't say go, but any more of your nonsense and it will be straight to bed" Alicia replied

Claudia got up, and went to get ready for bed.

"Still having trouble getting her to bed at night?" Peter asked

"Oh yes, every night we have this drama" she replied.

Grace had made her way to her room and Zach had just gone to the Cinema with his girlfriend.

Peter topped up Alicia wine and took a sip.

"And then she doesn't get up for school in the morning" Alicia added.

"I'll speak to her, why don't you go have a bath and relax, and by the time you get out Claudia will be in bed.

"That dose sound lovely" she said as she stood up and walked towards her room.

"Alicia, take your wine with you" Peter said, Alicia took the wine from Peters hand and walked towards the bathroom.

"If you can get Claudia to bed, come join me" she whispered seductively to her husband as she walked away. Peter was going to make sure that Claudia was in bed and the sooner the better.

"Where is everyone?" Claudia asked when she finally came back through.

"Zach has gone out, Grace is in her room and your Mother is in the bath" Peter said

"Oh, well I'll just watch TV" Claudia said as Peter took the remote from the coffee table

"No, we are going to talk" Peter said, Claudia looked round at her Dad, who looked serious.

"Am I in trouble?" Claudia asked, the only time her Dad took her aside to talk to her on her own was when she was 10 and kicked a boy in her class. Peter had been furious

"That depends, I didn't like the way you spoke to your Mother earlier, if she asks you to do something then I want to hear that you have done it"

"OK Daddy" Claudia replied.

"So, when your Mum tells you to go to bed, what are you going to do?"

"Go to bed"

"Yes, and if I hear you haven't, I will ask Mum to call me, and you don't want that, do you" Peter said

"No" Claudia replied, but her mind was ticking over, if her Mum phoned her Dad then maybe he would come round to the house more. All she wanted was for her Mum and her Dad to live in the one house with them. She was 8 when her Dad went to jail, and although he lived in this apartment with them when he was on house arrest, which she actually loved as she got to spend a lot of time with him, that didn't last long.

"OK, so off to bed now then"

"Good Night Daddy" Claudia said giving him a cuddle and going into the room she shared with Louisa.

Peter went to check on Grace, after knocking the door to no response, he walked in to find her asleep on top of the bed with her iPod in hear ears. He gently took them out and turned her lights out. He checked in on the room occupied by the youngest girls, Louisa was fast asleep, but Claudia was reading with her torch on her book.

"Lights out" Peter said

"Just 5 more minutes please"

"No, now" he said, Claudia put the torch out and Peter walked through to Alicia's bedroom and opened the bathroom door.

"It's about time Mr Governor" Alicia said seductively.

"Its still Governor elect, but never mind" Peter said as he took his tie off.
