Thomas Jefferson's coming home


(Y/n) POV:

     Yesterday was the day that Mr. Jefferson arrived. I'm actually meeting him today though, before the meeting. Washington allowed me to bring John along for the first meeting. So right now I'm getting ready for our first cabinet meeting. And I was happy today, nothing can bring me down.

     I was wearing a green dress since Alex told me yesterday that he was wearing a green suit.

(Bringing back the dresses baby! I'm sorry if you don't like it I just picked the first green dress I saw)

     I was downstairs waiting for John while tapping my foot on the ground. I looked around staring at stuff I could see until I heard a door close. I looked up to see John wearing his war clothes. "Why are you wearing your stuff from the war?" I asked smiling. "Cause I want this Jefferson guy to know that I was in the war!" He was cheerful today as well.

     I shook my head and grabbed his hand as we walked out the door and closing it behind us. We walked down the street. I knew we wouldn't be late! I left really early and also I'm early to everything (Ha! No I'm late to everything)! "You excited?" John jumped up and down like a happy little kid. "Yeah! Our first cabinet meeting!" I said.

     We continued walking until we stopped and went inside a building. "I'll take you to my office!" I said as I pulled him down the hall. We were both laughing and giggling like little kids. I saw my office and went in. No one else for the meeting was there yet. So I figured that we would hang out here for a while.

    We hung out for a while but it came to an end when Alex knocked on my door saying that Mr. Jefferson was here. I walked out of my office with John behind me.

     I saw a tall guy in a velvet, magenta suit. He had poofy hair and was talking with a thick country accent. "Ah miss (L/n)! Come meet Mr. Jefferson!" Washington stated. I slowly walked over with John once again behind me.

     "Well who's this precious daisy?" He asked with a smirk. "My name's (Y/n)." I muttered. "And she's also my girlfriend!" John interfered. "And who's this?" Jefferson chuckled. "John. John Laurens." He said shaking his hand. "Uh huh." Jefferson frowned.

     Jefferson walked over and stood beside me. He wrapped his arm around my waist. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Didn't you just hear him say I'm his girlfriend!?" I yelled slapping his arm away. "Oh a feisty tiny one I see!" He smirked once again. I glared at him.

     A few moments later I saw another guy walk up. He was much shorter. He was coughing into a handkerchief... a lot. "Who are you?" I asked. He coughed a few more times before answering. "James Madison." He stuck his hand out and we shook hands. "Well darlin I'll see you in the meeting then. And please call me Thomas or Jefferson. I don't like mr." He smirked walking away with James at his side.

     I turned and saw Alex. He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed with a frown on his face. "I don't like him already!" He growled. "Me neither. I don't like the way he was eyeing you!" John said. I shrugged and we walked to the meeting room (I don't know what it's called and I don't feel like researching). There was a big table in the room. Washington sat down with Thomas on one side and Alex on the other. I sat by Alex and John sat by me. Sir coughs a lot was by Thomas the whole time not saying a word. And the meeting began!

     "The issue on the table. Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir." Washington started.

     "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less these are wise words enterprising men quote 'em don't act surprised, you guys, 'cause I wrote 'em! Owww! But Hamilton forgets, his plan would have the government assume state's debts. Now, place your bets as to who that benefits.
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits." Thomas said.

"Not true!" Alex shouted.

     "Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it. If New York's in debt why should Virginia bear it? Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid don't tax the South 'cause we got it made in the shade. In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground we create, you just wanna move our money around. This financial plan is an outrageous demand and it's too many damn pages for any man to understand. Stand with me in the land of the free and pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy. Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky. Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whisky." Thomas finished.

I rolled my eyes as Thomas looked at me and winked. John growled and I held my hand on top of his. "Thank you Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response." Washington said.

Hamilton stood up and started his statement.

"Thomas, that was a real nice declaration welcome to the present, we're running a real nation. Would you like to join us, or stay mellow doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello? If we assume the debts, the union gets new line of credit, a financial diuretic. How do you not get it, if we're aggressive and competitive the union gets a boost, you'd rather give it a sedative? A civics lesson from a slaver, hey neighbor. Your debts are paid 'cause you don't pay for labor. We plant seeds in the South. We create. Yeah, keep ranting. We know who's really doing the planting. And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment, don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it. You think I'm frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench while you were off getting high with the French. Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President. Reticent there isn't a plan he doesn't jettison. Madison, you're mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine. Damn, you're in worse shape than the national debt is in. Sittin' there useless as two shits. Hey, turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits!" He yelled ending his statement.

Alex was now standing in Jefferson's face and it looked like it was about to be war. I quickly got up and grabbed Alex by his arms holding him back.

"Excuse me, Madison, Jefferson, take a walk. Hamilton, take a walk, we'll reconvene after a brief recess, Hamilton!"

"Sir?" "A word!".

Alex got up and was about to walk over to Washington until Thomas and James came over. "Great!" I rolled my eyes as they came over. "You don't have the votes" James said and Thomas added "you don't have the votes. Aha-ha-ha ha!" He said. "You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes!" They both said in our faces. I growled as Thomas kept speaking. "Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder." "Why he even brings the thunder!" James added to the end.

And like that they walked away. Alex went over to Washington and I couldn't hear them talking. "Well that was... intense!" John said. "Yeah." I sighed. We waited for Alex and he came over. He was mad! "You guys wanna come over for dinner?" He asked cooling down. "Sure why not!" I said.

You know how I said that John and I were happy and nothing could bring us down. Well Jefferson! He ruined that!

We walked down the street and arrived at Alex's house. We went inside and two little kids ran up to him in an instant. "John, (Y/n), I would like you to meet Philip and Angelica." He smiled. "Daddy why do I look so much like that man?" Philip pointed to John.

I laughed as John rubbed the back of his neck. "I Uh don't know." Alex said. "(Y/n)!" Eliza yelled rushing over to give me a hug. "Dinner is ready if you guys would like to come sit." She said leading us to the kitchen. John and I sat down and Philip sat right beside John. He stared at John for a while. As Philip stared John started sweating. "Um hey kid." He put on a smile. "You have my freckles!" Philip shouted.

I laughed once again at John's nervousness. Eliza set the food on the table and we began eating. "So how was the meeting?" Eliza asked. "Awful." Alex said picking at his food. "Oh how come?" Eliza asked with a frown. And in sync the three of us said "Jefferson!". "He gave me a major headache!" I groaned. "And he wouldn't stop eyeing and winking at (Y/n)!" John complained for the hundredth time today.

I chuckled and grabbed John's hand rubbing my finger in a circle motion on the back of it. He smiled as Eliza said "awwww!". As we talked about other things throughout the night it got really late. "Well I guess we should go now!" I said pulling John up. "It was a pleasure having you over." Eliza said opening the door. "Thanks Alex for inviting us over!" John shouted. "No problem!" Alex shouted back.

I hugged Eliza one more time before walking out the door. We went back to our house. As soon as we got inside we went to our bedroom. "I'm tired I think I'm gonna change real quick." I yawned. "Okay!" John yawned back. I changed quickly and saw John already asleep in bed. He didn't even bother changing. I crawled next to him and kissed his forehead.

"Night!" I chuckled. "Goodnight!" He smiled and whispered back.
