A/N I owe these amaze spicy scenes to a dear Friend K Kincaid, you rock Sistah!
PRESENT:
After the Secret Service had determined that the White House had merely been victims of Firecrackers and not bullets, they still insisted that President Hart and First Lady be examined by doctors to make sure that all the right pieces were still in place, Jennifer was shaking and worried about the babies upstairs rather than the one in her belly.
Jonathan was more concerned about his wife than himself, she was pale and barely allowed the Agents to help her up, he wondered if Maybe she was right, that by his running for a second term, he could put the lives of four people in danger.
When the agents finally let them upstairs, Jennifer immediately went to the nursery and picked up Tess, who had been fussing because she was getting some teeth, when she sat down in the rocking chair, she didn't realize she was crying until Tess patted her cheeks and said "Momma don't cwy,"
Wiping her eyes, she heard the phone ringing in the Hallway, figuring Jonathan would get it, she ignored it until one of the maids stuck their head inside the nursery.
"Madame Hart, There's a phone call for you,"
"Who is it?"
"A Sabella Colby Dexter"
Jennifer wasn't sure if she heard correctly, "What was the name,"
"Sabella Colby Dexter," The maid said more slowly
"I'll be out in a second," Jennifer said standing up and putting Tess in her crib.
She went to the hall phone and picked it up
"Sable, It's Jennifer,"
"Darling, how have you been? It must be so lovely to be First Lady,"
"It's not a good night Sable, what can I do for you?" Jennifer was tense and gripping the phone.
Jennifer had never been a fan of Sable, her mother's closest friend because After Sophia had disappeared on that dark street, and Sable was immediately contacted to deal with Jennifer, who was too little too understand, she remembered a wave of expensive perfume in floating through the Precinct when Sable ran in dramatically and demanded to know what had happened to Sophia, and when the cameras were parked outside, Jennifer remembered that Sable had kneeled down, picked her up and told her that she must be brave for the cameras.
Except Jennifer didn't want to be brave, she wanted her Mommy and Daddy. Sable had paraded her in front of the cameras, telling the Press that Jennifer deserved a better life than the one she had here and that Sable was taking her back to Denver.
Except just as she was getting the word out, Belle had arrived and immediately told Sable that she was taking Jennifer back to Seattle, they had a war of words in front of the press and the Police had to break them up, they even started pulling on Jennifer's little body.
The Police had told them that they either had to decide who was taking Jennifer or neither of them and they could work it out in the Court System. Neither of them could agree and Jennifer was sent to a Foster home for a few days until Belle was granted custody but Sable, still playing it up for the cameras, cried and said that wasn't what Sophia wanted, that she would continue to fight for the little girl until she won. But the courts prevailed that Belle Hastings would remain Jennifer's guardian.
Stephen's parents hadn't even been aware of their son's daughter and were not notified about either of them until days after the car had been found and Stephen's body charred beyond recognition. They claimed that because Sophia had died as well, they weren't in any position to be raising her daughter but would welcome her with open arms, which never happened.
Over the years, Sable would call and beg Jennifer to come to Denver but Jennifer wasn't sure if she was calling for Jennifer's benefit or her own. She hadn't heard from Sable since before She'd moved to California.
Jennifer, Sweetheart, I've just had a visit from your Mum.
Jennifer wasn't sure she heard Sable right
What?
I've just had a visit from your Mum and she's thinking about running.
You knew she was alive? All these years and you knew she was alive, is that why you used to beg me to come to Denver because she was out there? Damn it Sable, how could you keep this from me? Who else knows she's alive?
Darling, we were trying to protect you, you were just a child!
Sable, I'm not a child anymore I'm a mother who's got far too much to do to deal with her so let her run, she has no meaning to me.
Jennifer, Please don't be like this.
Sable, I have to go.
Jennifer wasn't sure if she felt relieved or depressed knowing that everyone she'd know or at least trusted had been lying to her entire life.
"Jennifer," Jonathan's voice broke through her thoughts, "Darling, are you alright?"
Jennifer looks up at this man, whom she loves more than anyone in her life and collapses in his arms, letting out nearly 35 years of anger and tears.
Jonathan is surprised but he realizes that this has been a long time coming, He patted on her the back and just let her cry it out.
"It'll be alright, Darling, whatever happens, we'll deal with it," Jennifer cried hard but lessens, worrying about her unborn son and added stress was just making it seem like she was on the verge of a major breakdown.
After a few minutes and she had worked her way down to sniffle, Jonathan had to know what was the sudden reason for this meltdown.
"Darling, what happened? Who were you speaking to that made you so upset,"
"Remember I told you my mother's best friend was Sable Colby, well apparently after 20 years and a court room theater performance worthy of an Oscar, she says My mother is ready to run but Sable doesn't know why. "Jennifer was still curled in Jonathan's lap.
"Maybe you should find out why .." Jonathan was careful with his words
Jennifer was surprised at Jonathan, "Why? Why would I do that? She abandoned me! You don't know what it's like!"
Jonathan pushed her back a bit and looked into her watery brown eyes, "Actually," He paused," I do"
"Oh baby I'm so sorry, I forgot I never Augh I'm such a screw up, please don't hate me." She put her head into her hands.
"Hey," He lifted her up her chin," You are not a screw up, you are my wife and I love you, But I do think that you are making a mistake, Darling you have a chance to find out what happened all those years ago, to maybe forgive her. I'd give anything for that."
Jennifer didn't know what to say and it was getting uncomfortable sitting on the floor, without a word, Jonathan lifted her up and walked her to their bedroom.
"You sleep, I'll get up with the girls," He whispered pulling the blanket over her.
But she couldn't sleep, just to satisfy him, she rolled over and closed her eyes but the moment the door closed, she got up and sat in front of the bay window that overlooked 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Jennifer was a mess of emotions, being pregnant and first lady wasn't helping her, but she knew that running again could only hurt Jonathan and their girls as well as his reelection.
As much as she hated the idea of another four years in Washington, she owed it to Jonathan to at least act like she was excited, this was Jonathan's dream and she made a vow to make sure that his dream would be finished.
Despite the fact that it went against everything she believed in, everything Belle had taught her about being independent and strong, everything Jonathan loved about her but that was before he was President and She was First Lady.
She remembered the only time that Belle had ever been in love, it had been right after the custody battle and they had returned to Seattle, Jennifer wasn't supposed to know about Belle's mystery man but she would hear Belle whispering on the phone that she would meet up with her secret love after Jennifer went to sleep. Sometimes she would wonder who the mystery man was but because Belle was so secretive, Jennifer didn't ask until One day when Jennifer was visiting Belle at the hospital and overheard them arguing, she'd been playing in the Chief's office when she heard Belle and the mystery man come in
"Come on Belle, we gotta get some alone time, we haven't been alone in days,"
"Don't you think I know that? But I have back to back surgeries plus with Jennifer now , I don't have time."
"Why can't you send her to your parents, at least for tonight"
"Because my parents are in Munich right now and the last thing Jennifer needs is to be uprooted again. She needs stability"
"Belle, you are 27 years old and are in the prime of your life professionally, you don't need this kid to sideline your goal of becoming Chief Surgeon,"
"Well, plans change, I didn't know my sister was going to die and I damn sure didn't know she was going to leave me her kid, I'm not a kid person, everyone knows that but this is my sister's kid and I couldn't live with myself if I just let Jennifer wind up as some sort of Orphan Annie"
"Well, "The voice said pausing," I'm not a kid person and I have my own career to worry about, you need to decide what you want and now."
After taking a pause," Then I guess you'll find someone else to screw around with," With that, the mystery man slammed the door and Belle threw the clipboard she'd been holding and cried.
Jennifer never knew what became of the mystery man, after that Belle refused to bring her to the hospital and had sent her to Emily and Richard's during school breaks and Summer vacation.
Jennifer had never shaken the feeling that she had imposed on Belle's life, it was part of the reason she distanced herself from Belle when she got older. She was just there for the time being and Belle made damn sure to drive that point home.
Suddenly, Jennifer was furious at both Belle and Sophia, and now that her mother was planning on running, this would be the last time she would get to lay into either of them.
Jonathan heard her determined footsteps outside of his private office and braced himself.
"Elise, please call my Aunt Belle and tell her to go to Sable Colby Dexter's Home right here in Washington," She called to the maid before going into Jonathan's office, "You are right, I need to do this ..for myself …"
"Do you want me to come with you,"
"It's kind of hard to fly under the radar with the Secret Service Detail and Senior Staff," She smiled "I can handle this on my own but thank you," She leaned over the desk and whispered in his ear," I still owe you for earlier"
He smiled, "When you come back, you can repay your debt"
She smiled and kissed his lips, "I love you,"
"I love you too,"
She remembered the first night in the Private Residence, they had spent all night at the Governor's ball as well as a few other parties but They wanted a private celebration, just the two of them. Jennifer had gone into the bathroom to wash her face and change into her negligee but when she came out of the bathroom, Jonathan was nowhere to be found. She quickly put on her robe and went down to the Oval, most of the staff were still at the parties and only the Secret Service were still on Duty.
She went to the Oval, knocking on the door, "Jonathan?"
"In Here Darling," He called from behind the door
She opened the door to find him sitting at his desk, he'd taken off his suit jacket but untied his tie, He was taking in the moment that he was actually Leader of the Free world
"Darling," She approached, "Why did you leave our room?"
"I'm sorry, I was too excited to stay in one place," His face told her that this was for him what a hot story was for her and she thought of the best way for them to celebrate his first moments in the Oval, she turned to lock the door behind her when he suddenly stood up and walked over to her, putting his arms around her chest, He kissed her neck.
"I want to show you something," He spun her around to her front and took her hand, He walked her to a potted plant, "You'll never believe what's behind this door,"
"Bricks and Plaster?" She laughed, but stopped when she saw the serious look on his face.
"No," Pointing to a Light switch ,"Pull that switch."
Curiously, she pulled the switch and when the wall separated, "What is this? You know we have one of these at home,"
"This is the Secret Marilyn Door, JFK used this to sneak her in and out of the White House when Jackie was out of town,"
"Darling, Are you sure?" She was intrigued
"One of the Secret Service Agents told me, Let's see where it goes," He started to walk in but she pulled him back
"Later, Okay?" She didn't want to spend their first night instead of making love, going through the Catacombs of the White House.
"Okay, do you want you to go back up to the residence,"
"No," She pulled him over to the desk, "I want you to make love to me right here,"
"Here? But What about the secret service?" Jonathan was surprised, usually she was content in their bed and anywhere private except for the few times in the car and that time he took her out on the row boat, and "Accidentally" lost the oars.
She was surprised, He had never been hesitant before but then again, He'd never been President of the United States Before.
She unbuckled her robe and let it drop, In One swift move, he'd grabbed her and kissed her, laying her back on the desk she was so caught up in the moment she didn't even care that she could possibly breaking a centuries old desk and she didn't even care. Jonathan settles himself between Jennifer's legs pinning his tightly swollen aching dick under him. He spreads her pussy open with both hands revealing her innermost flower. He flicks his tongue across her clit causing her to arch up and breathlessly whisper his name. He in turn barely keeps from dropping his load. Jonathan continues to lick her clit until he knows she is on the verge of cumming.
He slides his hands under Jennifer's butt and lifts he. With his mouth he clamps down on her pussy, first sucking it sending waves of orgasms through her. Then he begins to slowly thrust his tongue in and out-curling it up on the withdraws. Jennifer's moans and screams of pleasure have Jonathan almost cumming. He increases the speed of his tongue fucking. It's not long before he feels her body go stiff and hears her breath catch as an earth shattering, toe curling orgasm grips her. After Jennifer relaxes again she opens her eyes and looks at Jonathan. He is on his knees still between her legs, grinning at her and holding his dick. Noticing how purple the head looks she smiles and crooks her finger.
Jennifer pushes her breasts together and opens her mouth as Jonathan carefully straddles her. He reaches back and gets his hand wet with her juices and spreads it on his manhood. He then slowly begins sliding it through her breast tunnel and into her mouth. It's not long before breathing lets Jennifer know that Jonathan is about to cum. She lets go of her breasts and grabs his ass silently letting him know she is taking control. Shifting forward he grabs the head board as Jennifer draws his cock into her mouth. She holds it with her lip covered teeth while she runs her tongue all over its head. Jennifer then places her tongue on the underside and clamps his dick between it and the roof of her mouth. She takes one long suck giving Jonathan the release he needs. The wood of the desk groans in protest under Jonathan's grip as his orgasm tears through his body. When he finally catches his breath he moves to Jennifer's side.
"I think my eyes may be further back in my head after that last suck."
"Let me see," Jennifer replies. "Why, yes they are. You're welcome."
With that, she left the private office and took the elevator down to the south entrance where the car was waiting.
"Ma'am I think It's too late for us to be going out," the agent named Roc said standing in front of the door.
She stood in front of him, "We are not going anywhere, I am going to Sable Colby Dexter's home, you can either move now or I can ask the President to reassign you because you refused to accord my wishes, it's entirely up to you," Her eyes becoming cold and steely.
"Ma'am, I'm just concerned about this late hour," The Agent softened his tone
"This can't wait another day, please" Jennifer was sure she was going to physically move this agent so she could get into the car.
The agent stepped aside and allowed her to get into the car.
On the way to Sable's, Jennifer wished Jonathan could be there to hold hand, Jennifer did have a bit of him with her though, their son, who'd decided that his mother needed a bit more support by fluttering around and moving, Jennifer took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
When the car pulled up to the Colby Dexter Apartment, Jennifer was jerked forward by the car suddenly stopping.
"Ma'am, we are here," The agent said sitting across from her.
Nodding, Jennifer got out of the car and walked up the stairs to the Apartment, she could see figures in the window but was unsure which figure belonged to whom.
When Jennifer finally worked up the nerve to ring the bell, Sable herself answered the door
"Jennifer, Darling," She exclaimed throwing open her arms.
"Sable," Jennifer was less forward, but she still hugged her quickly.
"Come, we are all in the Dining Room," Sable took her to the dining room where Belle, Sophia and someone Jennifer didn't expect, Annabelle were sitting across from one another.
"Annabelle!" Jennifer rushed over to her half-sister and hugged her, Sable, although it didn't show in her face was a bit hurt that Jennifer was more receptive to a total stranger than Someone she'd known her entire life. "What are you doing here?"
"I was taking off the Bus outside of Maryland and brought here, why? I have no idea." Annabelle was surprised since the last time she'd been with Jennifer; she'd learned the truth about her paternity.
"Because You, Darling, are as much a part of this as Any of Us," Sable sat down next to Belle.
"Before we start with tears, I'd like to get something off my chest that's been weighing on me," Jennifer held Annabelle's hand
"Speaking of Chests, Darling, yours is huge!" Sable leaned forward
Jennifer took off her jacket, "I'm pregnant," rolling her eyes.
"Pregnant," Sophia realized how much she'd missed in her daughter's life, this was the first time she'd seen for herself that Jennifer was all grown up and she felt a stab in her chest.
"I am not bringing a baby into this situation, right now I have too much to deal with in my life, my Husband is President and this ..Insanity, will not take away from that. I have three children who are going to grow up in the public eye and in order to protect them as much as possible, they need to feel they are going to grow up with worrying that someday the mistakes of the past are going to hurt them and in order to do that, I think I need to sever all ties to the past. So I'm done with all of you." Jennifer started to stand up
"Wait!" Belle said, "How could you just walk away from us?! We are your family!"
"Family?! You ignored me for most of my childhood," Jennifer turned to Belle then pausing she pointed to Sable," You used me like I was some sort of deranged Barbara Hutton and you,", Jennifer said finally turning back to Sophia" ran out on me and abandoned my sister. The only person in this room I would call family is my Sister!"
"You think I didn't want to come back? I missed seeing my girls grow up, I wish more than anything I could have raised you both but I couldn't!" Sophia stood up and reached for something and then tossed a scrapbook on the table, "Here"
Jennifer opened the table, "What is this?" flipping through the pages, it was filled with clippings, pictures and articles, from the time of the accident through Jonathan's assassination attempt, her role as temporary President and her own kidnapping. "Where did you get this?"
"I may not have been a physical presence but I have followed you and your sister since you were both small," Sophia stood up, "I wanted to be a good mother but I couldn't be one because I knew you and Annabelle were in danger if I didn't stay hidden,"
"What sort of Danger?" Jennifer begged to know, "Why are you still running?!"
She'd asked herself this question a million times, but she was unprepared for the answer.
"Tell her," Belle urged, "This has gone on long enough,"
Sophia took a breath, "I've been working for an underground group that eliminates problem people,"
Annabelle finally spoke up, "You are a hired killer? You are kidding right?!"
"No, I'm not kidding I was recruited by the CIA to eliminate potential threats against the US government, beyond that I can't go into details." She let go the breath she'd been holding for what seemed like years."
Jennifer was stunned, "Are you still working for them,"
"No but I still have to be on the run," Sophia made sure to stand up and looked through the window to make sure no one was watching through the window to hurt them , "I pissed off a lot of people and by staying in one place I could you girls in danger, I need to go."
Jennifer found herself losing her anger and feeling like a little girl all over again, "Mom, please Let Jonathan and I help you, you don't need to run, please I want you to know my girls and My son." Standing up, she rushed over to Sophia's side and took her hand, "Annabelle,"
"Well, I guess it would be kind of cool to be the First Sister in Law," Annabelle joined them.
"My girls," She hugged them, "I've missed everything, I want to know everything about you, about your lives,"
The girls hugged their mother while Sable watched on with tears in her eyes and Belle couldn't help but feel a bit left out.
After a few minutes, Jennifer pulled back and wiped her eyes, "I should probably be getting back to the White House, Emily called earlier to tell us Richard died,"
Sophie wiped her eyes, "Emily ..Gilmore? Why would Emily call you?"
"To tell us about Richard, and probably so we would bring the girls to visit them, they've been begging for months," Jennifer was surprised.
"You've been in contact with Emily? Why?" Sophie looked back and forth between Belle and Jennifer.
"Well, she was an important part of my childhood," Jennifer stepped back. "She was a good friend of yours, and she helped take care of me when Belle was working."
"Belle, How could you? I trusted you to look after my daughter and you dumped her on Emily?" Sophie was horrified.
"Soph, I was in residency!" Belle jumped up
"Dumped me off?" Jennifer wasn't sure what was happening.
"Girls, why don't we sit down and talk about this," Sable tried to interject.
"There's nothing to talk about, I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have tried to force something that wasn't possible" Jennifer was torn between anger and sadness, "Annabelle, are you coming with me?"
Annabelle wasn't sure, but her instincts were telling her that Maybe Jennifer was right, that at a time of such confusion that she belonged with her family. Even if it was only half.
Nodding, Annabelle agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you"
Jennifer started to leave but curiosity was getting the best of her, "Did you ever really love me, ….Us or were we just some accident that you didn't want and just figured if you were gone long enough, we'd forget all about you"
The silence spoke volumes, "I thought so, You don't deserve to be a mother," Jennifer took Annabelle's hand and went back to the limo.
Sable was furious at Sophie, "Jennifer's right, the awful things you've done, I would ask you to leave but it would be a waste of breath, you'll just do whatever you want to do. But I ask when you do slink off in the middle of the night, at least have the courtesy to not to make any noise," and stormed out.
Sophie had no one left to aim her anger at but her twin, "How dare you leave Jennifer with Emily, I specifically asked you to keep her and protect my daughter, you know how I feel about her!"
Belle stood up at the table, "She's our cousin and I needed help, I didn't know the first thing about raising a kid and you started this whole mess, I begged you not to disappear, I begged you to just go into Witness Protection with the girls but you insisted and this is a consequence of your selfishness, think about everything that's happened because you decided to run away from your problems instead of solving them. Sometimes I think the Girls and I would have been better if you had just stayed dead." Belle left the dining room.
Sophia sat down on the floor and sobs.
PRESENT
1600 PENNYSLIVINA AVENUE
The long drive back to the White House was in Silence, Jennifer was stunned over what had transpired and Annabelle was afraid to open her mouth. Both women were holding hands and despite the fact that they barely knew each other, something had brought them together.
When they got back into the residence, Annabelle went into the guest room where some clothes had been set aside for unexpected guests and Jennifer went to find Jonathan.
He was asleep in their bed, she got an idea, she desperately needed a distraction from the earlier and knew he would be the perfect solution.
Jennifer went into the bathroom and undressed putting on his dress shirt , she hadn't realized how big she was but looking in a mirror, it was like looking at some else's body. This time she really studied before, With the girls she'd been so busy on the campaign trail that her pregnancy had flown by but now, her face and arms didn't show it and well, for someone who's biggest attributes wasn't her chest, they certain were now.
She was amazed that Jonathan could keep his hands off of her but now, she was hoping he wouldn't.
Jennifer walked into their bedroom, climbed into the bed, shivered at the cold sheets and leaned on one elbow, "Jonathan, Jonathan,"
He let out one snore, she tried again "Jonathan, Jonathan,"
Nothing
One more time and she was going to call this ball game over, "Jonathan, Canada's invading Iraq"
That did it, Jonathan shot up, "What? What's happened?"
She let out a cough, "Nothing, just figured I'd let you know I'm home, Good night" She pressed her half naked body against his, "Turn off the light okay?" He was still trying to process what was happening when he felt the baby kick beside him.
"Darling," He said smiling," I think you forget something important?"
"I did, what's that?" She smirked
"Pajamas,"
"Whoops, Should I go put some on…"
"No I think you are okay," He rolled over to where she was propped up, "Well, I guess that meeting with your mother went over well,"
The smile instantly left her face and she turned over, "I don't want to talk about that,"
From her tone, he knew it hadn't gone well but he pressed on, "Come on, Darling talk to me,"
She wiped the tears from her eyes, "I said No"
"C'mon you are crying, something must have happened, just tell me what happened,"
She suddenly snapped, "I said leave it alone,"
Startled, Jonathan paused before answering "You know, you accuse me all the time of leaving you out of things, please don't shut me out when I know you are upset,"
"I'm sorry darling."
"No, I'm sorry sweetheart."
Jonathan smiles his most seductive smile at her. As the last of her anger slips away Jennifer gives him the look she knows melts his heart and gives him an instant hard on. She then crooks her finger at him and after adjusting his crotch, he obliges her.
Jonathan takes Jennifer into his arms and kisses her deeply. She grabs his ass making him raise upon his toes. Letting go with a little squeeze she slides her hands up his back and lightly drags her nails back down it sending shivers through his body. His gasp makes Jennifer smile.
"Glad I can still take your breath away."
"Let me return the favor," Jonathan whispers in her ear. His warm breath tickles her.
Jonathan takes her hand and leads her to their bed. As he helps Jennifer lay down Jonathan kisses first one side then the other of her neck before kissing her full lips.
Jonathan quickly undresses giving his throbbing dick room to breathe and stretch out to its full size. "That's better." he thinks. He slowly undresses Jennifer, kissing each area he reveals. When he exposes her breasts he pauses to admire them. He didn't think they could get more magnificent but Jennifer's pregnancy has made them so. Jonathan lightly licks her nipples until they are firm and erect and Jennifer moans in pleasure. As he sucks on her tits, Jonathan slides his hand down Jennifer's body. He lets it rest for a moment on her belly and raising his head to look into her whiskey brown eyes, he sees how much she wants him. But he knows to be careful.
He runs his tongue lightly over her neck before licking and kissing his way first all over one tit then the other. He leaves butterfly kisses down and around her tummy finding his way to her womanhood. When Jennifer spreads her legs he sees that her pussy is already wet and he catches a whiff of her sweet smell.
He kisses the inside of her legs and start to eat her out, carefully, she can't control her squirming and moaning, he's driving her crazy.
"Oh God, Fuck me," She moaned into the air loudly
Knowing that she could possibly shoot herself of the bed, Jonathan used his tongue to move from her vagina up and across her belly, stopping to put his ear and listen to his Son moving around inside her belly.
"Jonathan," She begged, He continued to lick her until he was back up to her neck and suddenly thrusted inside her, causing her to yelp in surprise, he didn't want to hurt her but he was so hard, and so close to exploding.
It only took a few seconds until they both came together and when they did, he collapsed on top of her, their sweaty bodies stuck together.
He kissed her before he rolled over, "Feel Better,"
"Oh yah,"
A FEW WEEKS LATER
AIRFORCE ONE-destination Connecticut
A few weeks had passed since that Fateful night, Sophie had indeed disappeared in the middle of the night but instead of angry, Jennifer instead choose to focus on the girls and Baby Max, who seemed to have gotten bigger, so big that Doctors were afraid if Jennifer were to leave Washington, there was a good chance she could deliver early and the only way for them to agree to allow her to go to Richard Gilmore's funeral was for a Doctor be put on a 24-hour watch at all times.
Jennifer hoped that this could be a One Day Trip, she didn't feel much like traveling but Emily was important to her and as First Lady, she didn't want to seem like she was ignoring her duties especially since Jonathan had been asked to Eulogize Richard.
Richard had played an important role in their lives but Jonathan felt where Jennifer was so close to having the baby, that he could be a representative for both of them.
But Emily had insisted that Jennifer would be fine and because she had already agreed to go, Jennifer reluctantly put on her maternity funeral dress and boarded Air Force
Except about two hours into the Flight, she wasn't feel too good, her back hurt and she felt like she was having heavy cramps but she didn't dare say anything to Jonathan, he would turn the plane around and she didn't want to be responsible for causing Emily any more pain if this was false labor.
Jonathan noticed that she was looking very pale and that she seemed to be in pain, "Darling, Are you alright,"
"I'm fine, I guess I'm just nervous about seeing Emily," Jennifer admitted, she was nervous, it had been a long time since she'd been back in Connecticut.
Jonathan nodded as a Few Senior Staffers brought documents for him to sign, temporarily letting Jennifer off the hook.
She went back to the Air Force one bedroom and laid down, putting her hand on her belly, "Hey you, you aren't due for another six weeks, I know you are stubborn and want to come out but not today okay?"
She closed her eyes and fell asleep until the plane landed.
A Limo was waiting on the tarmac for them to go the church, Jonathan noticed that Jennifer's breathing was getting heavier, "Darling, should we go to a hotel and rest,"
"No," She said quickly," I just want to go and then come back to Washington," the pain was getting worse but she was adamant that this baby was far from coming, although the pain intensity was quickly changing her mind.
Outside of the Church was packed with Dignitaries, Colleagues and Friends of Emily and Richard, as well as Members of the Press.
"Mr. President, Mr. President!" They called, "Were you and Mr. Gilmore very close,"
Jonathan stopped and Jennifer leaned on his arm, "Richard was a wonderful friend and I will miss him very much,"
"Mr. President, what will the upcoming year bring for you?"
"Hopefully a successful campaign and a healthy son," Jennifer tugging on his arm told him that they needed to move on.
Inside the Church, Jennifer finally was able to sit down while Jonathan sought out Emily, who was sitting in the front pew in front of the Mahogany casket that was overflowed with flower, next to her was her daughter Lorelai but Jennifer couldn't see Lorelai's daughter Rory.
Soon the Mass got underway and the Priest spoke lovingly of Richard's life, his nearly 55-year marriage to Emily, his contributions to many charities and his dedication to his work.
It was only when Jonathan stood up to give his speech that Jennifer couldn't take the pain anymore.
"Jonathan, we have to go ..Now..Oh no!" She felt a gush of water spill from her.
"Why, What's wrong?" Jonathan whispered, aware of that people were now staring at him, waiting for the President to give his eulogy.
"My water just broke," She said as a wave of pain it.
