I don't own commander in chief
Mac went to her room and got ready for bed. She could see Amy peacefully asleep she looked so beautiful. Mac hugged her youngest daughter and fell asleep she could not wait until her this day was over and until her husband was home.
She woke up on Saturday morning with Amy excitedly jumping on the bed.
Amy: Mommy it is morning
Mac: OK baby I am up.
Mac kissed her daughter and they both got ready.
Mac:Baby why don't you go and wake up Horace and Becca. You can be as noisy as you want
Amy: OK
Mac knew her 2 oldest children were going to be hungover and she wanted to make sure they felt as bad as possible, that might stop them from doing it again
Amy runs down the hall
Amy: BECCA HORACE WAKE UP
Mac laughs to herself as she went down to the kitchen to make breakfast
Rebecca woke up with a splitting headache, she knew she was in even more trouble, but could not remember what happened last night. She looked down to see she still had her dress on, she hoped she never saw her mother on the way in.
Horace woke to slightly hung over, but he knew Becca would be much worse, they both went downstairs.
Mac: How nice of you two to join us, your father called he will be home in about an hour
Rebecca: Is he angry?
Mac: I don't know Rebecca what do you think? I haven't told him about last night yet.
Rebecca: What about last night?
Mac: O you don't remember, I let you go to the dance against my better judgement and you dissapointed me again. You went to the after party and got drunk again. Secret Service brought you home, Kelly helped you up to the residence and you were sick on her. I think you owe her an apology
Amy:That's gross
Horace:Yeah real smooth Rebecca
Rebecca: Shut up,both of you
Amy:You shut up, your the alcoholic
Mac:That's enough, I am fed up with the 3 of you. Now I have to go downstairs to work.
Amy I want you to do the rest of your homework. Horace you can do that essay, and
Rebecca you can come downstairs with me to apologise to Kelly.
Horace:I have already done the essay
Mac: If you have finished it already then it is not going to be good enough. I want you to spend the rest of the day on it
Mac made her way downstairs to Kelly's office. She knocked on her door.
Kelly: Come in
Mac and Rebecca walked in to Kellys office. Kelly imediatley stood up.
Kelly:Good morning Madame President
Mac:Kelly, Rebecca has something she would like to say
Mac left Kelly's office
Rebecca:Kelly I am really sorry I was sick on you last night
Kelly:That's OK Rebecca, but you know your Mom really cares about you and the way you
have been acting is really upsetting her
Rebecca:I just want to have fun, and she never lets me. My friends all do it
Kelly:She is your mother she is not suppose to let you drink or smoke
Rebecca:You drink and smoke
Kelly: I wish I never smoked it is not something which you want to start, and I am old enough
to drink you are not
Rebecca:Kelly I am sorry about what happened
Rebecca left Kelly's office.
Mac heard a knock at her door.
Mac: Come in
Mac stood up when she seen Rod at the door. She ran over and Kissed him, it had only been 24 hours since he left, but it felt like eternity.
Rod: Nice to see you too
Mac: I have missed you, I wish that you never had to go away for work
Rod: That could have been easily solved, if only you had given me a job in the west wing.
Mac: Not this again Rod. I called you because, Rebecca has been up to all sorts, Amy is not
behaving herself and Horace is up to something. I don't know what yet.
Rod: OK why don't we go and talk to the kids together all 5 of us and then we can talk about me working here
Mac:Can't we just go back to you working from the first persons office
Rod:I can't do that Mac, the Job is very Limiting, I just feel I have more to offer to your
presidency
Mac:OK I will think about it, but I am not promising anything yet
Amy could not believe how well her plan worked, she got to spend the whole of last night just her and her Mom. She had now thought up what she was going to do next. She got the idea from a book which she had read. She found some marker pens, and she went into her parents bedroom, she knew it was wrong, but she loved her parents attention so she drew all over the walls of the bedroom, she was very good at drawing and had drawn stars, suns, housed, love hearts and many other things.
Rebecca was walking through the west wing back to the residence, she was passing her parents office just as her mother an father were coming out hand in hand.
Rebecca:Dad you are home
Rod:Yes, I am home, and I am extremely disappointed in your behaviour, now go upstairs
and tell your brother and sister to meet us in the family room we are going to have a
family meeting
Rebecca:OK dad
Mac:I am so glad you are back
Kelly came down the hall
Kelly:Madame President, I think you should see this
Mac:What is it?
Kelly:The evening post, they have put a story out about your kids at the party last night, it
seems someone has sold pictures to the press which show both Horace and Rebecca
drinking
Rod:What... How bad is it
Kelly:I think we can maybe make a comment about how they are teenagers and that there
were many other Kids drinking, but then state that you do not condone illegal
behaviour and that Horace and Rebecca are aware of the seriousness of their actions.
Rod: Do you think that will be enough. I mean do you remember what happened when Tony
Blairs son got caught drinking
Mac:Probably not, but it is the best we can do, Kelly can you write a statement of that effect
to the press, Rod we really need to go and talk to the kids
Kelly:Yes Ma'am
Rod and Mac headed upstairs
Rebecca, Horace and Amy were all sitting in the family room, none of them spoke they all knew how much trouble they were in. Mac and Rod came in and sat on the other sofa.
Rod:Your mother and I have been discussing what punishments we think are appropriate
for the 3 of you. Amy we have decided that you are grounded for the rest of the
weekend.
Amy:but that is not fair
Mac:Amy don't argue with us it will only get you in more trouble, besides you are nearly 7
that is old enough to start getting grounded. Have you done any more of the work you
missed.
Amy:No
Mac:We had a deal if I let you watch a film that you would. Go and wash all that pen off
your hands and start doing as you are told.
Amy went off she had never been grounded before, what will her parents do now she had drawn on the walls she suddenly thought that her plan was not going to work so well this time.
Rod:OK you two. I know about the drinking last night and now it seems the whole country
does
He handed the newspaper over to his children
Rod: Now your mother seems to think that having your private life envaded by the world is
punishment enough, but I disagree so Horace you are grounded for 2 weeks and
Rebecca you are grounded for a month.
Rebecca:That's not fair why am I grounded for longer
Rod:I don't know maybe the fact you have been sneaking around, going to clubs,drinking,
smoking, and driving with someone under the influence of alchol. And then there is what happened last night to consider.
Mac:What I want to know is how did you get into the club?
Rebecca:I have a fake ID
Mac:Well I want that to be handed over to us
Rod:And the cigarettes did you use it to buy them?
Rebecca:No I took them from Kelly's office
Mac:Kelly dose not smoke
Rod: Yes she does
Rebecca:See it is not so bad. Kelly smokes and you both drink
Rod:THAT IS NOT THE POINT YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO DO BOTH, AS WELL AS IT
BEING ILLEGAL
Mac put her hand on her husbands shoulder and whispered in his ear for him to calm down
Mac:Rebecca your father and I care about you and we just want to protect you, but that is
difficult when you put your own life in danger
Rebecca:I am really sorry we should behave better, i mean we are role models for Amy
Mac:Yes baby you are. Honey I want to ask you a question and I want you to be honest with
me, Horace I want you to answer too. Have either of you used any illegal drug?
Horace:Of course not
Rebecca:No (she lied)
Rod:OK, but if I find out that either of you are lying to us then you will be grounded for a lot
longer than a month. Now both of you can spend the rest of the day in your rooms
Rebecca and Horace both went to their rooms without a word of complaint.
Rod:Do you have to go back downstairs to work
Mac:No i think we should spend some time in our room too
Rod and Mac walked towards their bedroom, but they were in for a surprise when the got there.
