I don't own commander in chief
That night Elizabeth had a nightmare again, it was the same one she had all the time now and she always woke up at the same moment.
She had come home from school and Catlin was crying, her mother was at work in the University where she was law professor and Rick who was unemployed at the time had went to a pub and left Catlin in the house herself in her Cot. Elizabeth made her way up the stairs and found the 2 year old in her cot terrified. She lifted her out and gave her a big cuddle, sometimes Elizabeth felt as though she was Catlin's mother and not a sister. She changed the toddlers nappy and changed her clothes before taking her downstairs and giving her a bottle. They then took out some pens and drew pictures, well Elizabeth did homework and Catlin scribbled on paper. When Rick finally came home he was very drunk he picked up his young daughter and Catlin got pen on him. Rick shouted and screamed at the toddler and Elizabeth took her off him and took Catlin to her room where they read a story. She had just managed to calm her sister down when they could hear Rick stomping up the stairs Catlin hid under the covers of Elizabeth's bed and Rick came into her room looking very frightening and angry.
At that point Elizabeth would wake up, she could remember this day vividly, but only until that point, after it her mind goes blank and she can not remember what Rick did to her, she just wanted to keep sleeping to see if she dreamed anymore to help her remember, but she never did.
Elizabeth went downstairs to the kitchen to make a drink, she tried to go quietly, but her crutches made this difficult and Mac woke up, being President had made her a very light sleeper.
Mac: Hi honey what are you doing up
Elizabeth: Getting some hot chocolate, do you want some
Mac saw Elizabeth struggle to do it and hobble at the same time on crutches
Mac: You sit down I will make it
Elizabeth: Thanks
Mac: Did your baby wake you up
Elizabeth: No I had another nightmare
Mac: did you tell Dr Campbell about them today
Mac handed Elizabeth a mug of hot chocolate and the 2 of them drank it while they talked
Elizabeth: Yes she said that I have probably do remember what happened, but I have regressed the thought, she says if I want she can hypnotise me so that I can remember, but I have to have you or Uncle Rod with me
Mac: Do you want to do that, if it is a really bad memory then do you want to know
Elizabeth: Yes I need to know and I would hope it would stop my nightmares, I want you to be with me when it happens
Mac: All right honey we can do it if you want, but it is 3am and I think you need to try and get some sleep while the doll is quiet
Elizabeth: Thanks Aunt Mac
Elizabeth and Mac both went back to their rooms and slept till morning.
