Journey Through the Heart
by Rhiannon and AJ


"Well that was a disaster if I've ever seen one." Abbey sighed as she exited Chucky E. Cheese.

"It wasn't that bad, Mom." Ariel stifled a laugh.

"Wasn't that bad? What part of that wasn't that bad? It was all that bad."

"Crap, we didn't mean to."

"Rodent's right, Mom. We didn't mean to."

"Jason?"

"Sorry, Ma'am."

"Ariel?"

"Sorry... Ma'am."

"Brennan?"

"Sorry Ma'am."

"Mr. President?"

"Sorry, Ma'am."

"Good. You should all be very disappointed in yourselves. That poor waitress."

"What the crap... she deserved it, Mom."

Abbey just sighed as she climbed up inside of the black Chevy Suburban. Moving over to her spot
she shook her head to the side. "I don't even know why I bother with any of you."

"Ah, you know you love us." Jason grinned.

"Dork boy's right. And you wouldn't have it any other way." Ariel added.

"Sure I would." She grinned back at her children.

"Abbey, Abbey wait up." Jed called out.

"Yes, Mr. President?" Abbey stopped and turned around.

"Have dinner with me. Just the two of us."

"You think that's such a good thing?"

"We have some things we need to talk about, Abbey. Have dinner with me tomorrow. Please."

"Oh, alright."

"Good, I'll hire Charlie to baby-sit the rug rats, and..." Jed trailed off as he noticed the way
the light from the sun reflected through the window, onto this gorgeous creature set before
him.

"And what?" She asked.

"And you're so beautiful." Jed said softly as he brought a hand up to caress her cheek. Before
he knew what was happening, he was moving in for a kiss. Gently, his lips met hers.

"Mom, Ariel-" Brennan stopped mid sentence as he looked up and saw his mother and the
President kissing. "Crap."
