Chapter 12
The Secretary of Snack Time
"Come in, Madame secretary, I am so glad you could make it today." Mac said as Amy walked into the oval office, "Won't you please have a seat on that couch?"
"Thank you." Amy said hopping up on to the couch.
"What have we for snack time?" The president asked the little girl.
"Well Ma'am as you requested there is a sub sandwich, cold cut trio right?" Amy asked.
"Yes that's right," Mac said sitting down next to her daughter. "How about you?"
"Milk and cookies?" Amy said hoping that it was okay.
"Excellent, shall we?" Mac said reaching out to the cart that had been brought in earlier and uncovered the goodies. Mac took the first bite and closed her eyes in pleasure. She was so hungry. "This is really good."
"Glad you like it mom." Amy said dipping her chocolate chip cookie into the milk.
"So how was school today?" Mac asked, and the floodgates were opened. Amy talked about her little girl friends in school. All the things they got to do after school.
"Mom, can I take a dance class?" Amy said, "I want to be a ballerina... maybe I can do Gymnastics... what did you use to do when you were little mom?"
"I did a lot of different things baby," Mac said before taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Like what?" Amy asked finishing up her last cookie.
"I rode horses, and played tennis, that was a lot of fun." Mac said shifting her body a bit, "I did crew in high school, and cross country track and archery and basketball."
"Wow... what do you think I should do?" Amy asked.
"Anything you think you want to do." Mac said
"I want to do something that I can do with you," Amy said thoughtfully. "Do you think I could learn tennis?"
"I certainly do."
"Then that's what I want to try," Amy said, "Then maybe you can play with me sometime."
"Absolutely," Mac said and looked down at her watch. "I'll ask the staff to find you a coach and you'll start to take classes."
"Time is up, isn't it?" Amy said sadly.
Mac smiled and reached for her giving her a hug. "Not for a few more seconds." They stayed like that until the door to the oval opened.
"Madame president, the everyone is back in the sit room." Vince said from the door.
"Yeah, I'll be right there," Mac said letting go of her little girl. "I'll see you tonight honey."
"Bye," Amy said as her mother headed out of a side door to the oval. Amy smiled at Vince "She said that she is going to get me tennis lessons, so that she and I can play one day."
"That's great Amy, I'll try to find you a good coach too... so then maybe one day you can beat her." Vince said smiling down at the girl.
"That would be awesome," Amy said and waved goodbye to Vince, "See you on Monday."
"Buh-bye Madame secretary." Amy heard Vince say as she skipped her way happily to the residence.
