I don't own commander in chief
OK this chapter is sad, I wasn't sure if I should have went this way or not, but I felt the story was lacking Drama and becoming rather repetive, so I added the Kelly part and the end of this chapter. I might still make a spin off when the baby is born in a separate fic, but keep the same characters as is in this story and have the 2 of them running together let me know what you think.
Mac woke up early in the morning, Catlin was still asleep as was Rod, she decided to go for a jog before wakening her children. She pulled her hair into a tight pony tale and found a tracksuit and some sneakers. She went down to the jogging track to find Elizabeth at Kate and Rachel's tree, she still had her pyjamas on and was just staring at Kate's tree.
Mac: Honey what are you doing down here
Elizabeth: Nothing, I just wanted to speak to Grandma, I like to think that she can hear me here
Mac put her arm around her and pulled her into a tight hug
Mac: I am sure she can hear you, and I am sure that she is with us all the time
Elizabeth: Did Catlin go to sleep OK last night after I left
Mac: Yes baby, she was really upset though, I have a feeling that that happened a lot before
Elizabeth: Yeah, Mom and Rick used to really shout at her, she was scared
Mac: I hope it was just a one off, we just need to make sure that she go's to the toilet before bed
Elizabeth: Are you working today
Mac: Yes I have meetings all day, why don't you go up and get dressed and I will see you at Breakfast.
Elizabeth was walking back to the Residence when she met Kelly,
Kelly: Hay are you OK
Elizabeth: Yeah I was going to ask you the same thing
Kelly: Well I am going to go public today, so you may as well know, I am Pregnant
Elizabeth: Really, congratulations that is great, you can't really notice
Kelly: Well I am pretty small for 6 months gone, but I have wore a lot of loose fitting clothes, please don't tell anyone just yet, your aunt knows and that is t
Elizabeth: Sure Kelly I can keep a secret
Elizabeth went back upstairs to find the rest of her siblings already in the family room she waked in and Rebecca was screaming at Catlin
Rebecca: WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T HIT AMY
Horace: Catlin that is not nice,
Catlin ran out of the room into Elizabeth
Elizabeth: Catlin what is wrong
The toddler was in tears, she just hugged her sisters waist. Elizabeth picked her up.
Catlin: I don't want to live here any more, I want to go home
Elizabeth: This is home
Catlin: I want Mommy
Elizabeth: Well we can go and get her
Catlin: No my real Mommy, I just want to see her
She walked to Catlin's bedroom and sat on the bed with her
Elizabeth: You can't she is in heaven with the angels now
Catlin: but I want to see her
Elizabeth: You have a new Mommy and Daddy now
Catlin: They are not real, Amy said we stole her Mommy and Daddy
Elizabeth: They are your Mummy and Daddy now too
Catlin: But I want mines back
Mac had came back from her run and had found Amy and the twins with Rod in the dining room, she went looking for the other 2 and found Catlin in tears.
Mac: Baby what is wrong
Catlin: I want my other Mommy
Mac: Honey you can't see her
Catlin: But Amy said you are not my Mommy, that I stole you
Mac: That is not true, you are my little girl too now
Catlin: Rebecca and Horace hate me now too, they shouted at me
Mac: Did you do something to make them shout at you
Catlin: Amy hit me, so I pushed her and they said I was not to push their little sister, but she hit me first
Mac: I will speak to Rebecca, Horace and Amy, now lets get downstairs for Breakfast
Catlin: I love you Mommy
The 3 of them went to the dining room where the other 3 children had now left. They had breakfast with Mac and Rod before Catlin went to play.
Mac told Rod to bring the twins and Amy down to her office after her senior staff meeting while Catlin played with Mrs Frost and Elizabeth went to her room.
Mac was in the senior staff meeting in the cabinet room.
At the end of the meeting Kelly spoke
Kelly: I have an announcement to make which may effect you all
Jim: What is it Kelly
Kelly: I am 6 months Pregnant
Jim: 6 months, geez Kelly, you will be going off soon on Maternity leave, we need to find another press secretary until you get back, could you not have told us sooner
Mac: That won't be a problem Jim, Kelly congratulations,
Mac looked and smiled at Dickie too
Jim: So who is the father I mean you are not with anyone
Dickie: I am Jim
The room fell silent
Mac: So Kelly you just let us know when you want to go off
Kelly: I want to work for as long as possible Ma'am.
Mac: Great, just take it easy
Dickie: Yes no lifting or getting too stressed out.
The meeting concluded and when Mac got to the Oval her husband and 3 of her children were waiting.
Mac: All right you 3 what happened today
Amy: Nothing Mommy
Mac: Did you hit Catlin
Rebecca: Mom Catlin pushed Amy
Mac: Amy I asked you a question, did you hit Catlin?
Amy: Yes Mommy, but she was annoying me
Mac: And were you annoying her
Rebecca: Mom why don't you talk to Catlin, she was the one causing the trouble
Rod: Catlin is 3 years old, Amy you are 7, you know better than to hit her
Amy: Sorry
Mac: Did you tell her that she stole your father and I from you
Amy: Yes and I called her a bed wetting baby
Horace: Wait I never knew that, I just saw Catlin push you
Mac: Well that was not very nice, now I want you to apologise to Catlin and to tell her that you love her, then go to your room
Amy: But...
Rod: Go Amy
Mac: And as for you 2, Catlin thinks you hate her, you are both 17, she is not even 4 yet
Rebecca: Sorry Mom
Horace; I guess we were just protective of Amy
Mac: Well how about being protective of Catlin too, she wanted to go home to your Aunt Rachel today, she thought you hated her and wanted to go home, now from now on this is Catlin's home and I want her to feel happy and safe, so she doesn't get worried again, she is only a baby and she still does not understand that her Mom and Grandma are gone forever
Rebecca: We are sorry Mom
Horace: Yeah we won't do it again.
Elizabeth was in her room, she had felt so lost and lonely for ages and had been planning on doing this for ages, she wrote out letters first, one for her Aunt and Uncle, One for Rebecca and Horace and one for Catlin. She thought about what she was doing, and thought she would be just as bad as her Mom for doing this, but it was all her Mom's fault that she was doing it. Catlin never needed her any more, she would be better off without her, she knew she messed everyone's life up around her. She knew her Aunt and Uncle loved her, but in the end, they would probably end up hating her too, as would her cousins, she knew her Grandma could hear her, but she just wanted to be with her Grandma and Grandpa.
She put music on really loud so no one could hear and she took a razor and cut one of her wrists, she then done it to the second. The pain was so bad, but she tried to put it to the back of her mind, it would be all over soon. She tried to go to sleep and not wake up again.
Rebecca and Horace were going up to apologise to Catlin,
Rebecca: Catlin, we are sorry we shouted at you today
Horace: Yeah we were wrong
Catlin: I am sorry I pushed Amy
Rebecca: We know she said some mean stuff to you and she hit you first
Catlin: Can you play with me please
Rebecca: Yeah why don't we get Elizabeth too, you stay here and pick what toy you want us to play with and Horace and I will go and get her.
Horace and Becca went up to Elizabeth's room, they needed to apologise to her too for shouting at Catlin. Rebecca opened the door and saw her sister lying on the bed, her covers drenched in blood and her body a pale shade of white.
Rebecca let out a scream and Horace grabbed a pillowcase from the pillows and started to wrap it around her wrists to stop any more bleeding. A few seconds later 2 secret service agents had run into the room followed by Rod.
I know it is sad
