I don't own commander in chief

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have been concentrating on my Amy story.

After Breakfast Mac went to catch up on work in the Oval, Warren had kindly decided to step in for her, but she still wanted to know what was going on with the country.

Mac: Hi Warren, how is the country

Warren: Well I haven't started any wars yet Ma'am

Mac: Good, that is something off my mind

Warren: How is Elizabeth Ma'am, I do know what you are going through

Mac thought and remembered that Warren's daughter had took her own life and left a son for his Grandparents to watch

Mac: Well we caught her in time, I think she should be OK, it is really difficult to bring up someone elses children, you don't know if you are doing it the way their parents would want

Warren: As much as you want to be, you are not their parents,

Mac: Well I better go, thanks for looking after this place

Warren: That is my job Ma'am

Mac went upstairs to the residence, she went straight to the dining room where the kids were all at the dining room tabel, Rebecca and Horace were helping the 2 younger children to make something for Elizabeth. The room was covered in paint and glitter.

Mac: Hi Kids, how are you all getting on

Catlin: I am finished Mommy, I make a necklace and a braclet, they are pink and purple, that is Elizabeth's favorite colour

Mac: I know she will love it

Amy: I have finished my card, look I put a dolphin on it, Horace helped me draw it

Mac: That is lovely,

Amy: It says, feel better soon and I wrote it is from me and Catlin

Mac: She will love it, OK Daddy and I are going to go now, will you 2 be good girls for me

Amy: Yes Mommy

Mac: Good, you can clean the dining room up we will be back in a few hours.

Mac and Rod left the house to go to the hospital, they had taken the cards from them and also from family friends, catlins jewellery and Amy's card, the hospital said she could not watch any TV, or use the internet of listen to the radio, so Mac and Rod had taken her ipod and some books for her to read as she must be very bored. They arrived at the hospital and the secret service were positioned outside Elizabeth's room, they went in and she looked a lot happier.

Elizabeth: Hi

Mac: Hi baby, how are you feeling

Elizabeth: Good, I am really bored, can I get my laptop

Rod: Sorry honey you will need to wait until you get home

Elizabeth: But I am so fucking bored she muttered under her breath, but her parents heard

Mac: Watch you language young lady

Elizabeth: Sorry

Mac: We brought you somethings you might want

Mac showed her the cards from the family and ones from Kelly, Vince, Jim and Dickie, there was also one which had been sent from James. She gave her the necklace and braclet and Card from Catlin and Amy.

Elizabeth: I never thought I would get anything

Rod: Well there are a lot of people who care for you,

Mac: We brought you some books too and your Ipod, Becca charged it last night

Elizabeth: Thanks, do the press know what I did

Mac: yes honey, we have not made an offical statment yet, but they do know, some people are saying that you have died, what do you want us to do

Elizabeth: Well if everyone knows then you would be as well to make a Statement, but can you make sure they know I am OK now and that I won't do it again

Mac: Of course sweetie, James has been phoning us all the time, he really wants you to get better

Elizabeth: Can I please come home tomorrow, that will be 2 days up, and I promise I won't ever do it again

Rod: We need to wait and see what the Doctors say

Mac; Has Dr Campbell been to see you

Elizabeth: Yes and Dr Brock came too,

Mac: What did they say

Elizabeth: Nothing much, just that I still have to see Dr Campbell when I get out... Did you read the letters I left

Mac: No, we want you to tell us anything you need to,

Elizabeth: Can you please read them, then you will know what I was thinking, I dont think I can say it, please read them

Mac: Are you sure

Elizabeth: Yes

The 3 of them sat and spoke for a while before the DR came in and said they would have to leave, outside her room, Mac and Rod spoke to Dr Cotton.

Mac: Do you know when Elizabeth will get home

Dr Cotton: Ma'am at the moment we are satisfied that Elizabeth is not a threat to anyone else or to herself, but by law she has to stay until tomorrow, if tonight go's OK, then I think that with the approval of Dr Campbell and Dr Brock she can go home tomorrow

Mac: great she will be happy, thank you for looking after her

Dr Cotton: Even though she may get home tomorrow she still has a long way to go, I suggest that you continnu counsilling with Dr Campbell and that she comes here for an evalutaion every month

Mac: Yes that should be fine

Mac and Rod went back to the Whitehouse, Kelly was giving a press conference later so Mac wanted to talk to her about putting a statement out about Elizabeth.

Mac: Hi Kelly, can you come to my office

Kelly: Yes Ma'am

Kelly followed Mac to the Ovalwhere Warren was sitting

Warren: Ma'am how are you

Mac: I am fine, I just need to speak to Kelly about putting a Statement out about Elizabeth, we will go through next door

Kelly followed Mac to her private office

Mac: Elizabeth wants to put a Statement out about what happened, she says she wants everyone to know that she is OK, and that she will be fine, if they ask if it was an attempeted suicide then say that is was, otherwise don't mention it

Kelly: Yes Ma'am

Mac: I have my weekly press confernece tonight, I haven't decided wither I will be doing it or Warren yet,what do you think Kelly

Kelly: The press like you Ma'am I mean it will probably be best if you do it, to keep things to the norm

Mac: OK I will do it as usual, Thank you Kelly, that is everything

Kelly went to her press conference

Charlie: Is the Whitehouse still not giving a Statement on Elizabeth Allen

Kelly: Elizabeth is recovering in hospital, she is doing well and should be home hopefully in the next few days

Gilda: Is it true that she tried to take her own life

Kelly: Yes it was, but Elizabeth would like you all to know that she is feeling well and that this was a one off incidence which will not happen again

Gilda: Do we know why she tried to kill herself

Kelly: I don't think that is the business of anyone other than the first family

The rest of the press conference went on with no more questions about Elizabeth.

Mac went upstairs to find Catlin and Amy watching Annie, the film was at the part were they were visiting the president in the Whitehouse.

Catlin: Mommy, Amy says that Annie was here, what room is she in

Mac: She was in the Roosevelt room, that was before the Oval office was built

Catlin: Did Elizabeth like her necklace

Mac: She did, she said Thank you

Amy: When is she coming home

Mac: Well if she feels OK tomorrow she might be abel to come home, but it might not be for another little while

Catlin: I hope she can get home tomorrow I have a funny joke to tell her

Mac: I am sure she will like that, now dinner will be ready soon so go upstairs and wash your hands

The 2 girls went upstairs to wash their hands

At dinner Catlin was as usual playing up, she never ever wanted dinner, but always wanted sweeties after dinner.

Mac: Catlin eat your vegetables

Catlin: I am not hungry

Mac: All right, but if you dont eat it you won't get anything else to eat tonight

Catlin: OK I am going to play with my toys

Rod: Catlin you can sit here until everyone else has finished

The 3 year old sat, but did not want to eat so she played with her food. After everyone had finished their dinner, Sam cleared the plates away and brought out apple pie and ice cream, Mac served some for everyone except Catlin

Catlin: I want some

Rod: You never ate your dinner, you can't have any

Catlin: But I am hungry

Mac: If you are hungry Iwill get you some more dinner and then you can have desert

Catlin: No I don't want any, can't I just have ice cream

Rod: No

Catlin started to scream the place down, and kept shouting about ice cream

Mac: All right Missy, time for a time out

Mac carried her to the family room and sat her on the couch

Mac: You have to stay here until the big hand touches the 5 and then you can come back through

Catlin: But Mommy I love you, Mommy I want a cuddle

Talk about emotional blackmail, Mac thought, whenever Catlin got a timeout she would ask for a cuddle so she could get off it

Mac: You can have a cuddle when the big hand touches the 5, we will be next door and remember I can still see you

Mac left the room for the dining room 10 minuites later she went to the family room anc Catlin was still sitting where Mac had left her

Mac: OK baby time for a bath,

Catlin: Mommy I am hungry

Mac: Then you can have some dinner but not ice cream

Catlin: OK Mommy

Rod sat with Catlin as she ate her dinner and Mac went down to her press conference, she was asked about Elizabeth and she answered them honestly, but said it was the last time she wanted to talk on the subject.
