I don't own commander in chief or the characters
Kelly got up on her 28th birthday, she got a phone call from her Mother and Father wishing her a happy birthday. Kelly went to the mailbox in her apartment and found she had a letter from te adoption agency. She was scared and wasn't sure if she really wanted to open it or not. She put the letter into her bag, got into her car and drove to the Whitehouse. She went through the security detectors and went up to her office.
She walked into her office and saw banners had been put up, the only person who knew it was her birthday was Vince, she knew he was responsible.
Mac wanted to see Kelly, she was her press secretary and friend she wanted to know how the public would perceive her news, but did not want to tell Dickie or Jim just yet. She got to Kelly's office and found it covered in banners.
"You kept that quiet" Mac said "Sorry Ma'am I don't really celebrate my birthday" Kelly replied
"Well happy birthday Kelly"
Mac thought it was strange that Kelly shared a birthday with Kady, Mac was trying to remember how old Kelly was.
"So what birthday is it 25, 26" Mac asked "No Ma'am I am 28 now" Kelly answared
28 Mac thought she was born the same day as Kady, Oh well I am sure there were lots of babies born that day it is just coincidence."Kelly I need to tell you something, but I need you to keep it to yourself just now I am not ready for it to come out" Mac said "Of Course Ma'am" "Can we go to my office please"
Mac and Kelly walked to the Oval, and Mac led kelly straight through to her private office
"Have a seat Kelly" Mac pointed to the couch Kelly sat on the couch not knowing what her boss wanted to tell her. Mac sat behind her desk. "Kelly I had a baby when I was 18 and I have decided that I want to try and find my daughter, I don't want the press to find out, I just need to find my daughter, anyway if the press were to find out, how could we handle it." Mac confessed "I think it would be bad, I mean people will be angry that you kept it a secret, but again, it is really not their business" Kelly said in reply
Kelly was lost in her thoughts she had no idea that the President had a child before the twins Mac looked and spoke to Kelly" It's just difficult because,.. well I am just going to be honest with you Kelly, I was raped when I was 18 and I found it too difficult to talk about and to keep my daughter, I wanted to keep her, but my father made me give her up, it was a different world 28 years ago, but I never stopped loving her"
" that is your statement if they do find out" Kelly looked at her boss she felt very sorry for her it must have been very difficult to give up a child especially after being raped, her thoghts turned to her biological mother and she decided that she really wanted to find her and would open the letter.
"Thanks Kelly" Mac said
"Ma'am did you say you gave your daughter up for adoption 28 years ago" Kelly asked
"Yes it would be her 28th birthday today" Mac laughed "she was born the same day as you Kelly, isn't that strange"
Kelly's face fell
"Are you OK Kelly?" Mac asked looking at her young friend "Ma'am my parents are not my real parents I was adopted all I know of my real parents is that my mother was very young"
"Wait there are probably thousands of babies born that day and I am sure that a fair few were given up for adoption" Mac said knowing deep down that the woman in front of her probably was her daughter. "Yes Ma'am I mean you were from Connecticut and I am from California, besides I contacted the adoption agency and they sent me a letter this morning with my real parents names I have been wanting to find them for a while now" "Well Kelly I wish you every luck" Mac replied "I haven't opened the letter yet" Kelly stated
Kelly took the letter out of her bag and Mac looked at her, she was starting to shake what if Kelly was Kady how would the family respond to her.
Kelly carefully opened the letter and scanned it to the part where is gave her parents names
" My father is unknown and my mother is.." Kelly paused "Ma'am you are my mother,it says my real name is Kady Allen" Mac got up and sat next to Kelly she did not know how to react "You are Kady, Oh my God, Kelly I am so sorry, I know you must hate me" Mac said to her new daughter
"I don't hate you, I know why you had to do it, you told me, I am just shocked" Kelly said
"I never wanted to give you away, I wanted to keep you, but my Dad would not let me, Kelly what do you want to do, I mean you are a close friend and you already feel part of this family" Mac was now in tears. Kelly put her hand on the Presidents arm she knew it was hard for her, but it must have been harder for the President. "It is just a bit of a shock, this morning I never knew who my parents were and now I do, but it is strange I mean I have known you for 3 years now, I think that makes it easier" Kelly said in a comforting voice
"I know it is strange, we will do this however you want, we can tell people or not tell people it is your decision" Mac said her voice was very emotional "We need to tell your family, they need to know, and I will probably tell Vince he is the only person who knows I was looking for my birth parents"Kelly stated "OK that is what we will do, they are all in the Residence just now, I will go up and tell them."
Mac put her had on her daughters and gave it a squeeze
Mac went upstairs to talk to her family her head was in a whirl she could not believe that Kelly was her daughter, how much of a coincidence was that, she liked Kelly a lot, she was a close friend, but now she was her daughter and she had 28 years to catch up on.
Kelly was still in the Presidents private office, "what the hell is going on" she thought to herself the President was her mother
Please review I don't know if I done a good job of this or not, my best friend was adopted and she found her birth parents but they turned out to be not very nice and I am don't know if that is how Mac or Kelly would have reacted
