Chapter 35

Sorry for the wait in the story, I was a little stuck for creativity, and haven't really had time.

I don't own Commander in Chief

Rod arrived home from his trip, he went to visit Mac in her office, and surprised her with a holiday he had organised for the whole family. It was his and Macs Silver wedding anniversary coming up, and he wanted some special time with his wife, children and Grand Children.

Mac was thrilled with this, it was just what they all needed, a nice family holiday.

Rod was obviously angry with his daughter, but today nothing could make him down. He seemed happy, about his up coming anniversary, and family holiday.

After the weekend Amy returned to school, she wasn't looking forward to meeting her friends and finding out what her next task was. It wasn't too long before she would fine out.

Lara came down the hall, with Hunter; the two of them were inseparable. Just as they met with Amy, Helena, Iona and Libby came from behind.

Lara: So Amy are you ready for part 2 of your initiation.

Amy felt her stomach to somersaults, she really didn't want to, but she knew she must, she didn't want to look like she was scared. She just nodded, without looking at anyone.

Lara: Well, it's a pretty easy one this time. All you have to do, is take Mr Philips car, he always leaves his keys in this top drawer…

Amy now looked petrified, she couldn't drive, she had never done it before.

Amy: I can't. Its not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't drive. I don't know how to I'm only just 14

Lara: Well you better learn. Don't you have a car you can practice in, in your massive garden?

Amy: Maybe I could get my brother to teach me at Camp David, this weekend

Lara: Yes do that and you can take Mr Philip's car on Monday.

Amy worried about this for the rest of the week, she asked her Dad and Mom about driving lessons in camp David, Rod agreed that he would take her out in a car for a few hours, and Horace also agreed, at least she would be able to drive the car without crashing it.

The holiday was great. The whole family loved it. Amy got on great with everyone; she went out on lessons with Horace, Rod and even Mac. Amy loved her lessons with Mac. She loved spending time her, and Mac loved driving, it had been almost 8 years, since she drove on a proper road with real traffic, and decided that the first thing she would do after being president, would be to get some refresher driving lessons, but it was different here, where there was no traffic.

Amy was not someone with a natural talent for driving, she stalled the car, almost crashed into a tree and skidded several times, but she was confident she could drive Mr Philips car.

Mac and Rod got to spend a lot of time alone this weekend too, as did Horace and Stacy, with all the others around everyone got some time babysitting the triplets, but Mackenzie had the best time of all, it was great to get away with the stress, and having nothing to worry about, knowing that the country was in Jims capable hands, although it was nice to have news 24 to watch occasionally and she could be briefed anytime she wanted.

It was soon Sunday evening, and the family had to go back to work and school the next day.
