Sorry I have not updated for a while, I was on holiday and got engaged. I hope this chapter is OK as I have hit a bit of a writers bloke,
I know Glen Eagles is not quiet in the highlands, but it is near enough and is still a really beautiful part of Scotland
I don't own commander in chief.
Mac fell asleep next to her niece, and forgot to set her alarm clock. At 7.45am Kelly was surprised as the President was rarely late without a reason so she knocked on the door to her suite. Mac heard her and got up looking at the time. She let Kelly in and quickly got ready for her meeting.
The first hour of the summit went OK until news came thought that there had been bombings on the London Underground system. The Prime minister of Britain left the summit for a while to go down to London to visit the family's of the people involved.
Mac phoned Rod
Mac: Hi how are the Kids
Rod: Fine. Rebecca and Horace are watching TV and The little ones are playing in the garden we put the paddling pool out with the slide going into it
Mac: Elizabeth was a little upset last night
Rod: Why
Mac: She asked me not to say anything too you, so don't let on you know, she is just upset about what happened with Rick and the house has bad memories for her. Rod he really hurt her, it was much worse than I thought
Rod: It will be OK, she knows she is safe now
Mac: She said that she thought Rachel hated her, because she never helped her, I don't know how she could stand by and watch her child getting hurt
Rod: I guess we will never know. Honey, don't get yourself upset, you have a really important job to do here and Elizabeth needs you
Mac: I know, I just think maybe we should go and stay in a hotel or cut the holiday short and spend the rest of the time at Camp David
Rod: I really don't think that is a good idea, she needs to get over it, spending time here may be what is best for her and she can see her friends, you know how much she was looking forward to coming here, just give her some time you will be home tomorrow.
Mac: OK, I have to go, I love you
Rod: I love you too, bye
She hung up the phone and went to check on her niece, when she got to their room she was gone. Mac asked the secret service agent at the door where she was and was told she went for a walk. Eventually Mac found her at the top of a hill.
Mac: Hi honey what are you doing up here
Elizabeth: I just went for a walk, I love coming for walks in the highlands it is really pretty
Mac looked around it was very pretty, she could see a big lake and lots of hills that were purple
Mac: Why are the hills purple
Elizabeth: They are covered in heather, it is really pretty
Mac: Yes it is look at the big lake
Elizabeth: Don't you mean Loch, that is what they are called here
Mac: Sorry a Loch, there is not a monster in that one
Elizabeth: Nope there are 2 Lochs with Monsters in them though Loch Ness and Morag in Loch Morar
Mac: Amy really want to go to Loch Ness, so she can tell her friends she saw the monster
Elizabeth: It is quiet a eerie Loch, but I never seen a monster when I went
Mac: Honey are you feeling better after last night
Elizabeth: Yes, but I was thinking, I want to ask you a question, you don't have to say yes if you don't want to
Mac: OK what is it
Elizabeth: Well I was wondering, if it would be OK if I called you Mum, i know you aren't, but you are like my Mum and Uncle Rod is the only person I have ever thought of as a Dad
Mac: Honey I think that would be wonderful
Mac hugged Elizabeth she was honoured that she would love her enough to think of her as her Mom
Elizabeth: Will Rebecca, Horace and Amy be OK, I wont do it if they aren't
Mac: They will be fine, and if they are not, then they will just have to get use to it.
Elizabeth: Thanks, I think we better get back that cloud looks as though it might rain
The 2 of them went back, just in time for the British Prime Minister to be back from London and Mac went to work, while Elizabeth went to the spa, she spent the day getting manicures and pedicures and facials, basically just being pampered.
