Okay super long authors note.
I would like to say a big thank you to Lucy and Olivia who had supported me since they found out I was writing this, honestly it is only the beginning and you have already coped with so much fangirling and moaning about this story, and honestly without your support I probably would not be writing this story. Especially as I was going to quit writing fanfiction. Secondly I would like to say thank you to Jennifer, who has been my friend in this fandom for months and who also helped me to not give up on writing and who is always there for me. I love you all.
I also want to say thank you to all of you on Twitter who have been encouraging me to write this story, expressing your joyment over me writing this story. And to every person who reads, reviews, follows and favourites this story, who is going to follow the journey this story takes. I thank you all, every review you make on my stories is one of the reasons I carry on, they make me smile and motivate me so just know that they mean so much to me and I love you all for the support you are going to give me through this story.
This has took so much research and so much consideration. I have done loads of research over the first lady job, and believe me either I am looking wrong or there is not a lot. All I have to work with is speeches and bits and pieces I can find.
Anyway enough. Or else this will be as long as the intro. I hope you like it and don't forget to let me know what you think.
Thank you.
First lady
Intro.
Yesterday had been a tiring and long day, however worth it. After all the years her husband had been working within the government, after all the setbacks and work he had done, Regina's Husband had finally at the age of forty became the President of the United States. A man born in America, raised in England, however kept his heart in the states. He had met Regina here, in America when they went to the same college, he had wanted to get into American politics, where she had been looking into business and activism.
The two of them had been having lunch one day, out in the courtyards of the college, when they were twenty. Where one of their mutual friends introduced each other to one another. Regina and Robin had instantly hit it off, however Robin began dating a woman named Marian, they got married and at the age of thirty-three Robin had a son. Prior to that, Regina herself had adopted a baby who she had called Henry, when she was twenty-five.
Just a year after Roland's birth, when Robin was thirty-four, his wife passed away. Regina was his support throughout the difficult times, helping with Roland so Robin could still progress through his career and once the grieving, and the loss of his wife became more bearable. Him and Regina began to date when they were both thirty-six.
At thirty-nine a year before Robin took office, just before his campaign for President began. Him and Regina had got married.
It had been a beautiful wedding, Roses decorated the building and Regina wore a satin, white dress that had a long trail, her hair loosely curled and flowing freely. It had been a lovely day, full of tears of happiness and love. It was the perfect wedding, their two sons standing with them at the altar, the then five year old gleaming at the couple as he watched them get married, the older one happy his mom finally had true happiness.
They really were happy, and now after everything they had been through. They also had this to look forward to. Regina had spoken to the former first lady about the duties and responsibilities of being first lady and Regina had sworn she would do everything in her power to carry on the work of these phonemical women before her. She promised to support her husband through the next four to eight years.
Yesterday, was Robins Inauguration day. The day the new president makes his oath to take office, the first day marking his term as President. Regina and their two boys had stood by his side as he made his pledge to America to protect and do what was right for the country, tears had formed in her eyes, from the pride and love she felt for the man and how far he had come.
That night they had headed to their new home, and arrived in their new room, once the two boys had settled into theirs. It was amazing, their rooms in this place was nearly two rooms of their old house. Each boy had a living room in their bedroom. However, Regina and Robins were the best. Leather sofas, flat screen TV, a mini kitchen just through an arch way, and a massive on-suite bathroom with a mini pool size bath. Oh, and Regina's favourite part, the walk-in wardrobe with a smaller room next to it filled with heeled shoes. It was literally every woman's dream.
She felt so lucky to have Robin in her life, and she was ready for the next four years. Yes, it was going to be hard at times, and managing two children was going to be difficult. But Regina was prepared to do it. And she would serve as the country's first lady, doing her duty as the wife of the President, however she would also be a mom to her two boys. Helping them to grow and learn life in the White House, her and Robin also learning. However, they were a family. And together they could do anything.
They had also talked about expanding the family. Regina had mentioned to Robin about wanting A baby to add to the family, however, they had agreed to wait until after the campaign and see about it once Robin became President if he became elected. So as promised once he had won the election, the two of them had agreed and decided they would wait until everything settled down once they had moved into their new life. And again last night they spoke about it.
After the election, in which Robin won. They spent the last few months as a family, spending as much time as they could together, between Robins duties as the forth coming President and electing people to be part of his work force. She and him had spent several nights, having dinner just the two of them as they talked about the future of the next four years. What it would mean for them. Making choices that they both were happy with. And agreeing on different things.
They had what could only be described as bigger than a king size bed, and it was so soft and comfortable, and Regina once thought hers was. But then she felt this one and it was literally heaven. Plus, the curtains stopped the winter sun from filtering from the outside, stopping the morning wake up, by a light in her eyes.
Just outside their bedroom, was the west sitting room, the room next to it the second-floor centre hall that lead to a smaller hall and the east and west bedrooms where their two sons were. There was a private kitchen for the family, connected to a dining room. The yellow oval office was, connected to the centre hall, the room Robin could use as a private office. The second floor was pretty much the floor for the family, apart from the east side.
