Samuel Norman Seaborn looked at the tiny baby in Abigail Bartlet's arms. This wasn't the first time he had seen a baby, and it wouldn't be the last, but something about his tiny baby fascinated him. She was so small, her little eyes looked up at him and he reached out and stroked her soft baby hand.

"I think she like you." Abby smiled at the young boy.

"She's a baby I don't think she likes anyone." Liz scoffed from the corner where she had been sitting reading a book.

"Liz." Abby scolded her older daughter. Liz just rolled her eyes and went back to her book.

Sam smiled as he went to the corner and sat down next to Liz as his mother joined Abby on the couch cooing over the baby Eleanor Emily Bartlet.

"So you don't like the baby huh?" Sam said peering at the older girl.

Liz just shrugged. "I don't hate her or anything It's just she's boring and mom's cooing all over her, Dad is off being a congressman most of the time, I'm lonely.

"You can come and play with me." Sam offered.

Liz chuckled and shook her head. "Thanks, but no thanks Sammy boy I'll stick to my books.

Just then Josiah Bartlet New Hampshire congressman walked through the door. "Well if it isn't the Seaborn's how are my favorite neighbor's"

Sam chuckled. " I wouldn't let Mr. McGarry hear you say that."

"Sam just call me Jed or Mr Bartlet no sir."

"Sorry sir." Sam said earning a giggle from Liz.

"How are you?" Jed asked his daughter.

"Okay." She shrugged.

"I think I'm going to steal her book." Sam joked. Causing Liz to hold her book tightly to her chest.

"At your own Parel son." Jed laughed going to his wife and scooping the new baby into his arms. "How are you Ellie Bean." He cooed to the baby." Sam caught Liz's scowl out of the corner of his eye.

"Have you thought about calling Mallory and asking her if she wanted to come and hang out with you?"

"No that's a good idea." Liz jumped up and ran out of the room."

"Where is she going in such a hurry?" Abby watched her daughter rush from the room.

"She's going to call Mallory and see if she wants to come and hang out." Sam watched the congressman cuddle the little baby. She was cute he'd give her that but still a baby. He was surrounded by girls. Lizzie and Mallory and now Ellie. Would he ever get a break." He shook his head and picked up the book Liz had dropped. He figured he'd get some reading done well Liz hung out with Mallory and his mother cooed over the baby.

This was the life of Samuel Norman Seaborn. He didn't know how far that life would take him. He didn't realize it would take him all the way to the white house for that very congressman. He didn't realize it would lead him to the floor of the congress, and the Senate. He didn't realize it would lead him to his own place in white house history. This is his story and it all began there. With that tiny baby he never realized would impact his life ever so much.

A/N introduction chapter next up we jump a few years. Abby will be pregnant with Zoey and Jed is running for United States Congress.
