Later that night, at the Taylor home. MJ was helping his grandfather into the tub.
"Alright papa, there you go. I'm sure nana will be in shortly to help you wash."
Mac smirked. Oh yeah... he was so looking forward to bath time. It had been to long, since he had his wife share his bath.
"Behave papa, I can seen that sinister grin on your face already."
Laughing, MJ heard the door open. Seeing his nana come in, in her robe, he left them a few words.
"Now you naughty kids behave. Don't drown yourselves."
Shutting the door behind him, he headed downstairs.
"Hello my sinister husband. Would you like to see what is under my robe?" she whispred, seductively.
Oh yeah... Mac could feel every part of his soul come to life. Just as Stella could see the darkness glaze her husbands, in fevered passion. Dropping the robe, Mac wished to hell he could move, for if he could, he would have had his wife trapped under him, long ago. How dare she play the seductress, when he was unable to respond the way he wanted too.
"Mm... what's the matter Mac? You like what you see?" As she threw her head back, in teasing pleasure.
Splashing the water with his hands, letting his wife know that he wanted her now. She stepped into the tub. Knowing she was now trapped, he pulled her forward upon him, gripping her hips as he kissed her in fevered passion.
"My head...auuuuugh... augh... damn it, the pain."
Mac could feel the burning in his head, he could feel the pulsating pain. Trying to hide it from his wife, he failed as his eyes watered. Quickly getting out of he tub, she threw on her robe, and called her grandson.
"MJ... MJ, bring me papa's pills, hurry."
Handing her the pills, Stella gave one to Mac with a glass of water. A few minutes later, he was feeling better.
"How's your headache Mac? This isn't good, maybe we should get you back to the...."
Shaking his head angerly, he had MJ help him out of tub. Throwing on his robe, MJ sat him on his bed.
"Okay MJ, you can leave us now."
"Is he going to be okay, nana?"
"I think so. He's most likely done to much today. There was allot of excitment."
Once MJ left the room, Stella asked... "Mac, how long? How long have you been having these headaches? Did you not tell your doctor? Did you?"
Shaking his head, Stella became angry.
"Why? Why would you lie. Did you not listen to a word he said. These headaches could be dangerous, or are you trying to leave us all behind? Well I won't have it Mac. I won't have you leave us alone in this life, do you understand me? I won't. You're being selfish"
Mac was getting frustrated, didn't she understand he just wanted to be at home?
Reaching over Stella grabbed the board and tiled words. Passing them to her husband with tears he wrote...
"I'm sorry sweetheart. I never meant to lie. I just needed to come home. To be with you, the children, please understand."
"How can I understand Mac. What you did was wrong. I'll tell you right now. I'm not spending the rest of my life alone. I will not have you die on me, or our children. God damn you Mac, you should have told the doctor, they could have checked you before your release. How long? How long have you had the headaches?"
Placing tiles on the board he wrote... "two days. Two days before my release."
As much as Stella hated to do it, she had no choice. Picking up the phone, she called her husbands nerosurgeon.
"Dr.Robbins office, how can help you?"
"Yes, it's Stella Taylor calling. I need to speak with Andrew right away."
"Just a minute Mrs.Taylor."
Waiting for the doctor to pick up, Stella could see Mac's tears shinning in his eyes. God she was so angry at him. So angry. He could have endangered his life more now, then before.
"Hello, Stella. What's the problem?"
"It's Mac. He had a very bad headache tonight while in the tub."
"Okay... I need you to bring him in."
"That's going to be hard. He's refusing to come back."
Andrew sighed. He knew this would happen. He had known from the begining that Mac was stubborn.
"Alright, I'll be right there. But if I can't help him at home, I will call the Ambulance myself and bring him back, understand?"
"Yes. Thank you Andrew."
Hanging up the phone, Stella looked at Mac and said...
"He's coming here. But if he can't help you, or figure out what's wrong, he's taking you back with him."
Reaching his hand to her, he knew she was angry. He knew he had hurt her, scared her, with his attack. He knew she was angry, unable to be reasoned with at this time. Collapsing beside him on the bed, she cried out....
"Don't you understand Mac. I can't live without you. I can't go on without you, you are my only love, there is no other, I just don't want you to leave us all behind."
Pulling her down towards him, he passionately kissed her tears. Letting her know that he understood how she felt. Letting her know, that he would from this moment on be honest with her and their children.
Watching from the door, MJ, Michelle, Caroline and Tyler nestled into each other. Worried, frightened. For they had never seen their mother/grandmother lose it like that. Ever.
Hearing the knock at the door, MJ knew it was Andrew. Taking a deep breath, he answered it.
