Author's Note: Thanks for reading and reviewing! I appreciate it! Enjoy! Leave a review or suggestion, if you want!

I walked through the front door of my parents' house. After leaving Alexis's house, I went home and showered. Preparing myself for the day ahead of me.

"Mom?" I yelled through the house. My father's publicist came into the foyer. "Ted, where are my parents?"

"They are getting ready for an interview on Today show and you're late."

"I'm not going."

"They want a full family. You are family thus you are in the interview." He stated grabbing my arm and dragging me down the hall where my father and mother were getting ready. "Ok, people! We leave in ten! We have a police escort waiting!" He shouted over the busy staff. "Stacy, this kid needs a suit and his hair done."

"On it." The woman came up to me and dragged me over to a rack of clothes and handed me a grey and black suit, with a light blue shirt, and black tie.

I quickly got changed and the stylists styled my hair. Ted dragged me out to the waiting Escalade behind my parents. We got in and I sat in the back with Ted by myself while my mother and father sat in the two seats in the middle of the car; Ted and the driver were in the front. The entire time I shot daggers at my father as he talked about the interview and his announcement. I quickly shot Alexis a text telling her that I would be on TV.

"Jasper!"

"Hmm?" I said being drawn out of focus.

"They are preparing to ask you questions about your personal life and schooling. Ok?"

"Fine."

We pulled up to Rockefeller Plaza and stepped out. We walked inside the news station and were sent straight to the stage where a chair and a large couch were set up. Matt Lauer was standing by talking to one of the producers and when he saw us, he approached us.

"Senator Bracken, thanks for coming on the show again."

"I wouldn't go anywhere else. This is my wife, Sheila, and my son, Jasper." He shook all three of our hands.

"It's very nice to meet you all. We are about to go live so shall we." The anchor said motioning to the seats.

We all sat down. My father was the closest to Matt, next was my mother and I was at the end.

A producer held up his hand, "5…4…3…2…1…and, we're live!"

"Today, we have a very special guest, Senator William Bracken of New York and his family; wife, Sheila and son, Jasper. Thank you for coming on the show Senator."

"Thank you for inviting me."

"So, Senator, what are the some of the changes you have made to the Senate during the course of your Senate career?"

My father then proceeded to make himself seem more likable and boasted about himself for most of the interview.

"So what has been the greatest gift you have received in your life?"

"I have been very blessed in my lifetime. But, serving the people of New York in Washington, marrying my wife and, having my son are the greatest."

"Speaking of, Jasper how is home life with your father being a leader and public figure?"

At that question, my father leaned forward to see past my mother; looking me straight in the eyes.

"Home life is the same as it was before he became a Senator. He is a great father to me. One of my many role models. That is one of the reasons I am studying political science at Columbia. So, that I may one day follow in his footsteps." I said with a fake smile.

"You work for the mayor who is a conservative republican. Your father is a democrat. Do you guys differ on opinions?"

"It certainly creates fun dinner table discussions. Haha…um, but, I believe differently in some aspects of the political groups."

"You're a good looking kid and bright too. How old are you?"

"I am twenty years-old."

"Young too. Do you have anyone special in your life? I'm sure our young lady viewers would like to know." He said with a smile.

"Actually…"

"No. He spends most of his time studying and preparing himself for his political career." My father interrupted.

"The lady viewers will like that." He said with a laugh. "Senator, you said you had a big announcement to make?"

"Yes. I am announcing my candidacy for the election of the Governor of New York."

What the hell just happened?
