I don't own Madam Secretary.
Elizabeth McCord was sat in the car with her two daughters Alison and Stevie. The family had decided to spend the weekend at the farm. Henry was with Jason in another car. The drive had been pleasant with Alison and Jason not bickering and Elizabeth being able to chat with her girls.
All of a sudden a car came up next to the Secretary of States car and began to ram it. Elizabeth could see Stevie hitting her head on the window, but couldn't move to protect her. Then the car rammed Elizabeth's car so hard it went over and began to flip.
Once the car had stopped rolling it was left on its side. Stevie was on top with a cut on the side of her head. Alison was in the middle a little shaken up. However, Elizabeth was on the bottom unconscious. Her head was lying on the floor where the window had smashed and she was covered in blood.
Alison looked over at her mother to find her unconscious body. She then looked over at Stevie. Alison held her hand out to her sister and Stevie quickly took her hand and tried to comfort her little sister.
Henry had seen what had happened and when the car had stopped he jumped out ordering Jason to stay in the car. He rushed over to the car and watched as the Secret Service pulled out his children. He could see Stevie was able to stand but had blood dripping down her face. However, Henry could see Alison only had a few cuts and bruises. Henry took his children back to the other car then ran back to see his wife.
When Henry saw his wife was still in the car he ran to Fred. "Fred where's Elizabeth?" He was panicked, there was no good reason that his wife was still in the car.
Fred turned to Henry and answered truthfully. "She is unconscious and we don't want to move her until the paramedics arrive." Fred paused for a moment before he continued. "We are worried about internal injuries and the amount of blood she has lost."
Henry couldn't move. He could only watch as the ambulance arrived and the paramedics got out with a stretcher and other medical equipment. Only once they had gotten Elizabeth out the car did Henry move. He rushed over to his wife as she was being placed on the stretcher and an oxygen mask was placed on her face.
Henry could see Elizabeth was covered in blood and her face was deathly pale. He took her hand in his and walked with the stretcher. He gave Fred strict orders to bring the other car with the children in to the hospital so Alison and Stevie could get checked out.
Once he had done that he got in the ambulance with Elizabeth and watched helplessly as the paramedics began to tend to his wife. He watched as they hooked her up to a heart rate monitor and inserted an IV into her pale arm. He watched as she flatlined and the paramedics resuscitated her. He watched as they stuck a tube down her throat. All the time this happened Henry held onto Elizabeth's hand.
The moment, the ambulance pulled up at the hospital, the stretcher with Elizabeth was pulled out and wheeled into the hospital. She was taken to the trauma room and Henry was ushered into a private waiting room.
He wasn't alone long before Stevie, Alison and Jason arrived. Alison immediately ran into her father's arms and began to cry. Henry watched as Stevie was taken to be examined and he finally forced Alison to go as well.
Once the girls had left he finally spoke to Jason. "Jason I'm sorry I ran off I just had to make sure the girls and mom were okay." Henry spoke quietly.
"Dad, its okay you were just acting on natural instinct." Jason paused for a moment. "If you want I can take Stevie and Alison home later and you can stay with mom why I make sure their okay at home."
"That would be helpful thank you." Henry said. He couldn't believe how grown up his son was behaving. "I think Stevie will have a headache and I don't know how long it's going be before I know anything about mom." Jason just nodded in agreement and they both sat there in silence.
Half an hour later Stevie and Alison returned. Stevie had a gauze over her eye and Alison had a bandage on her arm. Stevie sat down next to her brother and he held onto her hand, whilst Alison walked over to her father and he pulled her into a hug.
Henry decided I was best if he took Jason up on his offer. He knew everyone was tired and that Elizabeth would need him by her side. He told them to go home, giving each their own instructions. Stevie was told to rest and take her pain pills if needed. He told Alison to not turn on anything where she could access the news and that any news on mom would come from him. He then told Jason to take care of the house and not annoy his sisters.
Once everybody had left Henry sat down and buried his head in his hand. He couldn't lose Elizabeth, she was his life and the mother of his children. He knew it wasn't fair, but Henry had to sit in a plastic chair and wait to hear if his wife was alive.
