I own nothing, except my story line, Thanks to Claire for being my beta reader. This chapter focus more on the Twins, and their relationship with Kelly.

It was 3 days before Christmas and the last day of school for the kids, Amy was excited as tonight was the night the family were putting the Christmas Tree in the Residence up. Today was also the day that Kelly was allowed to leave the hospital and as planned before she would be spending Christmas in the Whitehouse, with her biological family.

Kelly arrived early in the morning at the Whitehouse, Kate and Rod greeted her in the Residence, "Hi honey, are you feeling better?" Kate asked her Granddaughter. Kate walked over to her Granddaughter, she stroked her blonde hair. "Yes Mrs Allen, I feel much better now, Thanks". "Oh, Mrs Allen, please call me Kate". Kate said shaking her head "Mrs Allen makes me sound like an old lady" Kate paused before mentioning "but of course I am an old lady". The 2 woman continued to walk as Rod walked behind with Kelly's bags. "Mac will be up shortly Kelly, she is in the sit room just now". Kelly looked up at her new Stepfather "That's OK, she is a busy woman" Kelly said this while trying to keep a yawn back, she was clearly still tired. "Well honey why don't you try and get some sleep, I will be in the family room or kitchen dear". Rod and Kate left Kelly's room and she changed into a pair of pyjamas and lay on the plush bed, she was asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

Horace was walking on his way through the school grounds when he saw the coach of the Swim team. He hoped that if he begged he would be able to get him to let him back on the team, he knew his GPA was lower than a D average and that to be allowed on any sport team, it could not be any lower than a C-. He ran after the coach "Coach" he got to him out of breath "Horace, I know what you are going to ask" "No you don't, I was just going to ask…" "If you can get back on the team?" the coach finished for him "Well yeah" Horace added knowing that the answer was going to be no. "Horace, I can not let you come back and not let many other Students back, you know what you need to do" " Well, my parents, they don't know I am off the team yet" the coach looked at Horace "I thought that you got a letter sent home, I know I seen it with your Mothers signature" Horace thought "Why am I so stupid" he had really put his foot in it "Well my mother knows but my father doesn't and he is on his way here today for the race" "I'm sorry Horace there is nothing I can do, I suggest that you call your father and tell him the truth." The Coach walked away as Horace punched his fist on a locker.

Rod left Kelly's room and made his way to the School, he was really proud of Horace, he was working really hard on his swimming and went to Swim Practice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Well as far a Rod and Mac thought he was but of course he just went to the amusement arcade and then came home.

Rod walked to the motorcade and made his way there, he got to the school and made his way to the pool, he saw Rebecca sitting with a boy in trunks and walked over to her

Rebecca saw her father walking in, just as Mike kissed her, he too was on the swim team and her father never knew about her and Mike.

"Hi Dad" Rebecca said, she was waiting for him to drag her out of the arena. "Rebecca would you care to introduce us" Rebecca could tell her Dad was getting annoyed, Rod wasn't angry with his daughter, he just hated to see her grow up and like any father he wanted the best for his little girl. "This is Mike Fleming Dad"

Mike extended his hand to Rod and Rod shook it and even managed a small smile.

"Well I am just going to go and look for Horace, is he in the locker room?" Rod asked. Rod could see from Rebecca's eyes that something was wrong. "Rebecca, what is going on?" "Well Horace isn't racing today," "Why?" Rod asked with a questioning tone" "Dad, maybe you should talk to Horace, it is really nothing to do with me" Mike stood up, "I better get back, I'm racing soon". Mike walked away and Rod took Mike's seat. "Rebecca what is going on?" He asked again "Dad, look, it is nothing to do with me, just talk to Horace". "And where can I find Horace?", "I have no idea Dad, look Mike is about to race, either sit and watch or go and find Horace!"

Rod stood up and gave his daughter a glare "Remember when you get home, Kelly will be there and tonight is a family night, the tree is going up so I expect everyone to be home" Rod left and under her breath Rebecca muttered "Kelly's not really family, well not to me anyway."

Kelly woke up some hours later she felt a lot better after sleeping in a normal bed and not a hospital bed, she decided to go for a shower, she walked over to her cases, and with her good arm she opened it up and found some jeans a top, clean underwear and a towel, she walked to a bathroom and opened the shower cubical, she opened it up and entered, once she had managed to have a shower, without getting her plaster wet, she came out and put her underpants on, she them put her bra on and with her good arm struggled to clip it.

Horace stormed out of school and went home, he hoped to get their before his father left for the swim race. He got home, but his father had left, he decided to go for a shower, he went to his room and dumped his stuff, he knew his father and mother would find the truth out tonight about his grades and about getting put off the swim team; he needed to clear his head. He and his sisters all had their own bathrooms, but they were like their bedrooms not to be cleaned by the Whitehouse staff, Mac and Rod thought that they should be responsible for their own room. Although Amy still did get a bit of help, but the twins never. Horace's bathroom was a disgrace, he hadn't tidied or cleaned it for a while, so he walked to another bath room and entered it, and he saw something which he never expected.

Horace walked into the bathroom and saw a nearly naked Kelly; he immediately turned around so as not to see her "Kelly, I'm sorry" he muttered embarrassed. He quickly exited the bathroom, and Kelly hurried to get ready, very embarrassed herself.

When Kelly left the bathroom she found Horace in the family room alone, she walked over to him, both of them looking a red faced as the other. "Look Horace, what happened was no big deal right?" "Sure Kelly, I mean we are all Adults right". Even thought Horace was trying to act all mature over this, he failed to look Kelly in the eye. Kelly thought it was funny to hear Horace call himself an Adult she could remember first meeting him as a 13 year old boy and she still thought of him as a kid.

Just at that moment, Rod walked into the family room "Horace, what happened today, why were you not at swim practice". Horace looked up to his father "It's no big deal, I quit the team". Everyone in the room could tell that Rod was angry with his son, so Kelly stood up quickly "I am just going to play with Amy" she quickly exited the room.

Rod and Horace had a discussion about him quitting the team and Horace lied and said that he wanted to concentrate on his classes; Rod accepted this reason and told his son that he thought that was a good idea.

Mac eventually made it up to the residence after a long time in the Sit room and she also had Bills to Veto and others to sign not to mention varies meetings. She greeted Kelly and the family all had dinner together, the whole time there was a awkwardness between Kelly and Horace, he found it difficult to look at her without going red in the face, everyone at the table noticed this.

Sam entered the dining room, "Ma'am, Mr Calloway, sorry to interrupt dinner, but there is a phone call from John Adams High School"

Mac looked at the twins "Do you guys know what it's about?" She spoke just as Rod went to the phone in the other room. "I have no idea Mom" Horace replied as he stood and left the table. "Horace" Mac called after him "Dinner is not finished yet, and you have not been excused yet". Horace continued to walk ignoring his mother's shouts. "Kelly what is going on with you and him?" The President asked. "Well, I was in the shower in my bathroom, and he walked in" Amy and Rebecca stared to laugh "did you have no clothes on? Amy asked. Mac gave a look at her daughter and Amy quickly looked at her dinner plate and started to eat. A few moments later Rod came back in looking angry, he looked at his wife "Mac why didn't you tell me?" Rod asked his wife. Mackenzie had a blank look on her face. "Tell you what?" "That our son has been kicked off the swim team" "Rod I never knew" "So you never signed a letter from his Principle". Mac was astounded that Rod even thought she would do that. "Rod you know that when it comes to signing school forms we are both always present, and if you weren't here I would tell you." "Can I be excused" Rebecca said, knowing that any moment they would ask her if she knew Rod looked at his daughter "Rebecca did you know about this, your boyfriend is on the swim team" It was Mackenzie's turn to glare at her daughter "What boyfriend?" Mac asked. "He's just a guy from school, he is really nice and, and, and he is a real Gentleman" Rebecca replied hoping that there would be no more questions. "So did you, or did you not know that Horace was off the Swim team?" Rod Questioned. "Dad, it wasn't my place to tell you," With that last statement Rebecca stood up and left the dining room. Everyone else continued with dinner, before Mac and Rod went to find their son.

Kelly and Kate went to play with Amy she wanted to play go fish and both of the adults let her win, which kept her happy.

Mac and Rod walked to their son's room hand in hand. They knocked on the wooden door, but without waiting for a reply, Mac turned the brass knob, as both parents walked into their only son's bedroom. Horace was sitting on his bed, with a magazine both parents looked at is shocked as Horace tried to hide it.

"Horace, what are you doing, do you know how degrading those Magazines are to Woman… how would you like it if that was your sister in one of them"

"Come on Mom, they get paid for it, and only they choose to do it" Mac looked at her son, she was disappointed in him, and how he showed no respect to Woman, she would have to try and sort him someway or another.

"Horace, why did you lie to me about the swim team?" Rod asked

"And why did you forge my signature, you do know that's illegal" Mackenzie asked

"Look, I got kicked off, because I'm not good enough, that's it no big deal"

"Horace I spoke to your Principle, YOU GOT KICKED OFF BECAUSE YOUR GRADES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH," Rod stated while pacing the floor. Mac sat on her son's bed, "baby we just want to help you, and you can't keep things like this from us" "Mom, it's really not a big deal; I mean any college would love to have the Presidents kid". He looked at his mother and her eyes widened "young man, you will go to college, and on your own merits, so you had better start working, you only have a year and a half left." Mac stood up "and I want that magazine". Horace handed his mother the magazine, Mac let her eyes slide over the top of it, the girl on the cover, she was naked and looked to be no more than 18 years old. She felt disgusted that men would ogle over her.

Rod left the room with his wife, the 2 of them walked to their bedroom. Mac went in first and sat on her bed, she threw the magazine down. "Rod, I think you had better have a talk with our son", "What will I say to him Mac, he isn't really doing anything wrong" Mac glanced at her husband " What, you think it is OK for him to, but those magazines, what if someone saw him buying it, what would people think,". "Mac, calm down, all teenage boys do it, I will talk to him about respecting woman."

Rod left his room and left for his son's room, where he had a long talk with his son, about the magazine and sex in general, it reminded Horace of the film "American Pie" and the conversation Jim had with his father, he was mighty embarrassed.

Eventually the entire family were putting up the Christmas decorations up. Amy was so excited and she was glad Kelly was their too. Rebecca and Horace really could not be bothered with this, they usually loved Christmas, but this year they had the feeling that Kelly would be the centre of attention all Christmas. "All right everyone family photo" Kate called. Everyone got ready while the timer was on "this is our first family photo" Amy shouted excitedly after the photo was over Amy hugged Kelly "Kelly you are the best big sister". Kelly liked that Amy said this, but she couldn't help but feel that it would not get her any closer to Rebecca. Rebecca heard Amy "Shut up Amy, Kelly's only your half sister, and at that Mom gave her up she never even wanted her". Mac shot Rebecca a look as Kate guided her middle granddaughter out of the room. Kate and Rebecca walked to another room "Rebecca, just because Kelly is a part of this family now, does not mean that you are any less a member of this family," "I'm sorry Grandma, I just got angry when Amy said that" Rebecca was genuinely upset; she really did care for her younger sister. "I will talk to Amy, and explain that her words were hurtful to you, but you have to talk to Kelly" Kate hugged Rebecca "Thanks Grandma".

Down in the living room, Mac had a quiet word with Amy, she walked over to her and took her to one side, she knelt down to her height "Honey, you have to remember that even though you are happy Kelly is here, that Rebecca is still your big sister and you can't call Kelly your favourite, it makes her sad". "I'm sorry Mommy" "I think you need to say that to Becca". Kate and Rebecca came back to the room, Amy ran to her older sister "Becca I'm sorry, I love you" Amy said "I'm sorry too, now lets get the fairy on the tree". Rod lifted Amy who put the fairy on to the top.

Next chapter should be up soon and it will have more of Kelly and Mac I promise
