I don't own commander in chief.

A few weeks had passed and Stacey was now really ill. There was nurses always in the residence and Dr Wilson came up to visit her every day.

The first family were always there for her, Horace and Rebecca barley left her side and even little Amy was visiting her. Mac and Rod were there for Stacey, but also for their own kids who were finding the time very difficult.

One Friday afternoon the kids were still at school. Dr Wilson had been visitng Stacey and he came down to the Oval office with Rod and Kate.

Dr Wilson: Ma'am Stacey's condition has got a lot worse over the past few days, I want to increase the amount of morphine we give her

Mac: How long do you think she has left

Dr Wilson: Ma'am she could go anytime, I want you all to be prepared

Mac could feel tears coming to her eyes

Mac: Thank you Dr,

Dr Wilson left the room. And Mac started to cry. Rod put her hand around her and cuddled her.

Rod: baby i know this is hard, we have grown so close to her

Kate: We need to be here for Stacey honey

Mac: I know, I am going to go and see her

Mac went to Stacey's room the child looked so weak, she was just lying in bed.

Mac: Hi honey, how are you feeling

Stacey: I just want to sleep, is Horace here

Mac: He should be home soon,I will get him to come up as soon as he gets here

Stacey: I am going to die soon, I don't want to be alone

Mac: Don't worry honey, we won't leave you alone.

Horace and Rebecca then came into the room.

Horace: Dad said you were here

Mac: Why don't we leave Horace and Stacey alone for a little bit.

Rebecca and Mac left.

Rebecca: Mom she is going to die soon isn't she

Mac: Yes baby, she and Horace just need some time alone, and then you can go in.

Horace was sitting on Stacey's bed

Stacey: I love you Horace

Horace: I love you too, I always will

Stacey: I don't want you to be sad, I know I am going to die soon, and I am ready now

Horace kissed Stacey's cheek and Rebecca came back into the room.

Rebecca: Hi Stace

Stacey: Rebecca, you are my best friend, I want to thank you and Horace for staying with me

Rebecca started to cry again

Stacey: Don't cry I am OK, I'm ready now

Rebecca and Horace sat with Stacey, nurses were in and out, Mac had to work, there was a terrorist attack in a foreign country, but with American hostages and she unfortunately had to work.

Mac was in the oval office with Kelly, Jim, Nathan,Rod and Dickie when her Mom came in

Nathan: Mrs Allen it is lovely to see you

Kate: Mackenzie I think you need to go upstairs

Mac and Rod left the Oval and went upstairs, they went into Stacey's room she was struggling to breath and a Dr Wilson was with her as well as Horace and Rebecca.

Mac: Stacey honey I need you to go to sleep

Mac hated to see her struggle and knew if she went to sleep she would go more peacefully.

Mac: It's OK we are all here

Stacey closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Mac, Horace and Rebecca all sat with her, Stacey finally took her last breath and passed away.
