Author's Note: Thank you to all who reviewed. And I fixed the Paul/Evan thing in the first chapter! Please continue with the reviews!
The children of the members of the Bartlett Administration, including Huck and Molly, can not remember a time before him, because in their lives there was no one before him. The Lyman-Moss children were already grandfather-less when they arrived. Their father's father had died during Bartlett's first race for the Presidency, and their mother's father died two weeks after Donna had announced she was pregnant with Noah James, the boy named for the two missing men in his parent's lives. So Jed Bartlett became the grandfather to not only Noah but he three children that followed. Joanie was born two years later and Chris two years after that, then after four years Tess, or Tinkerbelle as the family calls her, came bursting into the world and her adoptive grandfather's heart. He had always said that he saw all the reason that he had hired both of her parents so many years before.
The Seaborn-Hayes family, both children, Carter and Tenley, were all the quiet intelligence of their parents and claimed the same the part of his heart their parents held.
Carley Cregg-Ziegler was the youngest of the five children of Toby Ziegler and the CJ Cregg's baby girl of her three. She, along with her brothers and her father's twins Huck and Molly were the tenacious precocious loveable loudmouths that their parents were.
The twins, Andrew and Paige, of Jed's best friend and his former assistant were the part of the puzzle that helped the group finds the reality in the craziness that they end up in.
There were the three Bartlett girls, had all blessed the Bartletts with five biological grandchildren who loved and were loved their grand parents as much as the other parts of the Bartlett Generation. And being that the kids were now grown up, Carley and Tess were the babies and they were already twenty-one, seniors in college, there were now great-grand babies that had been dawdled on the knee of a former First Lady and President. Annie, Liz's daughter was now dealing with two of her own teenagers, Sarah and David, 19 and 15. Gus, the little boy Donna remembered being scared of the crowd at the Christmas tree lighting as a child, now had teenagers himself, Jack and Bobby, were 16 and 14 and Caroline was now 12. Ellie had finally married a doctor making herself a mother only once, but her son Wyatt made up for it 12 fold with all the trouble he either caused or brought on himself, Wyatt, who was 27 now, was married with a two year old, Clara, who captured her grandmother's revenge for her in the headaches she was giving her father already. And Zoƫ had listened to her father and married Charlie Young, and their three children, JT (29), Emma (27) and Lauren (25) all had grown up and though JT and Emma were married, to Leah and Sean, respectively, no grandchildren had been produced due to the fact that all three of the Bartlett-Young children were pursuing some form of higher education, JT and Lauren were medical students and Emma was working to become a lawyer.
All of the children that had come out of the Bartlett administration were blossoming into amazing adults, but as their Grandpa Jed had fallen ill all had crumbled into the children they once were. What would they do without him?
