I don't own commander in chief.
Thank you for all your reviews.
Secret service took Elizabeth back to the Whitehouse, she went upstairs to her room and cried on the bed. Rod was walking by and could hear Elizabeth. He knocked on her door, but there was no reply, Rod opened the door to see Elizabeth sitting on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest, she was in tears.
Rod: Sweetie what is wrong?
Elizabeth turned around so that her uncle could not see her face.
Elizabeth: I am fine, honest
Rod moved over and sat on the bed, he stroked her hair and she turned around to face him. Rod could see how red her eyes looked, and Elizabeth started to cry again. She put her head on her uncle's shoulder and Rod hugged her. Elizabeth felt really safe with Rod, she had never had a proper father before and was glad that Rod was there for her.
Elizabeth: I saw James with another girl
Rod: I am sorry honey
Secretly Rod was glad it had ended, he never really liked the Fleming boys, but he felt sorry for Elizabeth, she really did like him.
Elizabeth: I thought he loved me, but he doesn't
Just then Elizabeth's cell phone rang, she looked at the caller I.D and saw that it was James. She immediately diverted his call and turned her phone off.
Rod: Was that James
Elizabeth: Yeah,I don't want to talk to him, he was ignoring me all day and then when I did see him with her, I ran away from him
Rod: Do you mean he doesn't know that you seen him
Elizabeth: Yeah, but I am not talking to him
The phone in the residence started to ring.
Elizabeth: If that is James can you tell him I am not here
Rod answered the phone to James on the other end, he told him not to call again that Elizabeth was not to see him again.
Rebecca and Horace came home from school, both of them not particularly happy either. They walked into the residence and Rod saw Horace's face.
Rod: What happened to you?
Horace: Nothing
Rod: Horace, what happened, your knuckles are bleeding too, were you in a fight
Horace: Yes
Just then a secret service agent came in and the twins left.
Agent: Sir there was an incident today, Horace was in a fight with Mike Fleming
Rod: With Mike, why?
Agent: Mike had been spreading some rumours about what he and Rebecca had done.
Rod thanked the agent and left to go to see his Wife. He walked throught the Westwing to the outer Oval office.
Rod: Vince is Mac available
Vince: Yes sir, she has a meeting in 10 minutes though
Rod knocked on the door to the Oval office and entered.
Mac: How nice to see you, how is Elizabeth is she feeling better.
Rod: She had a broken heart, that jerk was going with another girl.
Mac: Poor Kid, especially with tomorrow being Rachel's birthday, I thought that would be what was wrong with her.
Rod: She was in tears, Mac she is really upset. And Horace was in a fight today, with Mike Fleming
Mac: Is he OK
Rod: Yeah a few cuts, but he is fine, secret service said that Mike was spreading rumours about what he and Rebecca did.
Mac: They didn't do anything, I caught them before they had a chance
Rod: What a jerk they both are.
Rebecca went up to Elizabeth's room and saw how upset she was.
Rebecca: What happened to you today at school?
Elizabeth: James was kissing Natasha
Rebecca: What a jerk, me and Mike have split up too
Elizabeth: I can't believe he said that stuff about you, Rebecca do you think I will be allowed to stay off school tomorrow
Rebecca: No, they will never let you miss school
Elizabeth: I can't face going back, i have no friends, the only reason people talked to me was because James was so popular
Rebecca: Don't worry I am sure you will make friends, besides we are friends now
Rod went to Horace's room
Rod: Lets talk about today Horace
Horace: There is nothing to talk about
Rod: Why did you fight with Mike
Horace: We just had a disagreement
Rod: I know he was spreading rumours about your sister
Horace: Why ask then you know the reason
Rod: Horace you know better than to fight and this is not the first time. From now on if there is a problem then you get secret service understand.
Horace: Come on dad he is a complete jerk, if you heard what he was saying you would have done the same
Rod: I would not resort to violence however much I wanted to, now dinner will be ready in 10 minutes.
At dinner as usual Mac was late. The kids were all sitting the 2 little ones were giggling and playing while the older 3 sat in silence.
Mac finally arrived and the family started dinner. Elizabeth just sat and never ate any food.
Mac: Elizabeth please eat some dinner
Elizabeth: I am not hungry, can I please be excused
Mac: No we are all going to have dinner as a family so please eat
Elizabeth: I don't feel well, please can I go to bed
Mac: OK you can go
Elizabeth went to her room, she was really upset and she thought if she pretended to be sick she would not have to go to school tomorrow.
Rebecca: Mom Elizabeth is really upset, she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow
Rod: I think we should keep her off tomorrow, it will be really hard for her
Mac: Yeah I think that would be best
After dinner Mac went to her room.
Mac: darling I know that tomorrow is going to be really hard, and I was thinking that maybe you could stay of school and we could spend the day together
Elizabeth: Really, I always made my Mum breakfast in bed on her birthday, I really miss her
Mac: I know and I know today must have been hard too. I was thinking that maybe we can plant a tree in memory of your Mom in the Whitehouse grounds.
Just then Rebecca came in.
Rebecca: Mom Mr Gardner called he said he needs you downstairs
Mac: All right baby
Mac left to go to the oval office.
Rebecca: I brought you some dinner
Elizabeth: Thanks
Rebecca left to go to her room and Elizabeth went to see Catlin.
Elizabeth: Hi Catlin
Catlin: Can you play with me
Elizabeth: Sure
The 2 sisters sat and played with the playdough and made lots of funny faces
Elizabeth: Catlin tomorrow we are going to plant a tree for Mum
Catlin: Why
Elizabeth: So that when we want to remember her, we can go to the tree
Catlin: Will it be a tree just for Mommy
Elizabeth: Yes
Catlin: I miss her sometimes
Elizabeth: Me too
Just then Rod came in to put Catlin to bed
Rod: Hi girls, Catlin it is time for bed
Catlin: OK can Elizabeth read me a story
Rod: Sure baby
Rod got up to leave
Catlin: Daddy can you stay too
Rod and Elizabeth sat in Catlin's room and they read to her until she fell asleep
They left Catlin's room and walked into the hall.
Elizabeth: Uncle Rod,I just want to say Thanks for today
Rod: I am glad I could help
Elizabeth walked over to Rod and gave him a hug.
Elizabeth: It feels really nice to have someone like a Dad, I have never had that before
Rod: I will always be here for you sweetie
Elizabeth: Thanks
Rod: OK I need to go and put Amy to bed, you should get some sleep to.
Elizabeth went to her room and went to bed.
