I don't own commander in chief

Thanks for all your reviews, I really want to do well with this story and it is so sad, I was nearly in tears with the last chapter.

Horace and Stacey fell asleep on her bed, Mac and Rod would never normally let them sleep in the same room, but tonight was different she really needed him. Mac went up to Amy's room she needed to explain to her what was going on.

Mac: Amy darling you know that Stacey is going to be staying here for a while

Amy: Yeah why can't one of my friends come and stay?

Mac: Stacey is sick and she can't live with her Mom and Dad anymore, so she is going to live here with us

Amy: I won't catch what she has will I

Mac: No honey. Stacey is very sick baby, she is going to need to sleep a lot which means that you have to be very quiet, and be very gentle with her

Amy: Will the doctor make her all better

Mac: No sometimes people get really sick and the doctor can't help them

Amy started to cry, she liked Stacey. She was nicer to her than Becca was sometimes.

Amy: Mommy is she going to die?

Mac: Yes darling, and I need for you to be very brave around Stacey, if you are upset then come to me, Daddy or Grandma

Amy: I don't want Stacey to die, I like her

Amy cried herself to sleep that night in Mac's arms.

Mac then went into Rebecca's room to find her daughter in her bed crying. Mac sat on her bed and wiped the tears from her daughters eyes.

Rebecca: Mom this is so unfair

Mac: I know it is baby

Rebecca: Do the press know yet?

Mac: No they still think it is me who is sick, Honey Kelly is preparing a statement and in the morning we will give it to the press after Stacey reads it to make sure everything she wants said is in it.

Rebecca: Is Kelly going to say it or you

Mac: Probably me and Dad, now I want you take this

Dr Wilson had given Mac some sedatives for Rebecca as Mac knew she would find it difficult to sleep. Rebecca took them and a few minutes later she was asleep.

Mac went back down Kelly's office.

Kelly: Ma'am are you OK

Kelly had never seen the president like this she looked terrible.

Mac: Yes I am fine, the Kids are all upset

Kelly: I would think they would be, I have prepared a statement for you

Mac read Kelly's statement which just explained what was wrong with Stacey and that she would be staying in the Whitehouse for the foreseeable future.

Mac then went up to bed where she and Rod talked about everything that happened that day.

Please review.
