As the small wedding was all set. The girls were getting fidgity.

"Stay still Sara, I need to put up your hair."

"But mama, I don't wanna walk down the isle with MJ, boys are smelly."

"He's your cousin, there is nothing smelly about him."

"But I don't want too," she yelled as Eric walked in."

As he listened, he was smiling, for over the course of a month, his little girls were finally acting like little girls. Their sauciness boardered on funny.

"Is that my little Peanut yelling?"

"Yes daddy, I know want to walk with MJ, boy's are stinky."

*laughing* "Okay Peanut, do it for mommy, please?"

"Fine daddy, but I won't hold his hand."

"You won't have too Peanut."

Walking up to his wife to be, he kissed the nape of her neck.

"Are you excited love?"

"I am. It's a beautiful day, and it's going to be a wonderful double backyard wedding."

"That it will be love. Now where are my other two girls?"

"They are downstairs with nana, helping set the flowers."

"They're dressed already?"

"They've been groomed since 8am this morning."

"Then what is taking Peanut so long?"

"MJ. But now that you've talked with her, I'm sure she will cooperate, right?"

"Yes mama. I love you daddy."

"I love you too Peanut, and you look very beautiful."

Walking downstairs he seen his other two Princesses placing flowers on the tables in the backyard.

"Look at my Angels, come down from heaven."

"Hi daddy, you look handsome."

"Why thank you, and you my Princesses, look like Angels."

Eric seen Stella struggling with an umbrella.

"Mom...you are not to be lifting, you just had a child, and stitches removed."

"Don't be silly Eric, I'm fine."

"Don't make me call dad. Now let me do that, you go relax."

"Oh for goodness sakes, you men."

"I know mom, we are all handsome, and wonderful." he laughed.

Looking her son in law in the eyes, she said....

"You are Eric, and I can't love you enough for bringing my daughter and granddaughters back to life."

Kissing him on the cheek, she walked into the house.


Meanwhile....

Natalia and Danny had just arrived.

"Hi Stella, where can I change?"

"Upstairs with Mackenzie, they are in my room."

"I'll see you later Danny?"

"You will Nat. I love you."

"I love you too Danny."

"Listen Danny, are the kids flying in?"

"No. They can't make it, but they sent us a video this morning, with their feelings, and congrat's. They also sent us a ticket for the Bahamas."

"Wow, that will be nice."

"It will, when we get the chance to go."

"Why can't you go now?"

"We just found out Nat's pregnant, and getting her on a plane during her first trimester isn't going to happen. She's having alot of morning sickness."

"Oh my, well I guess double congrats, are in order."

"What's in order love?"

"It seems our Danny Messer is about to be a father again."

"Your kidding," said Mac.

"Afraid not. We just found out yesterday."

"Well congrats to you both. This day is just turning out perfect all around."

"That it is Mac."
 
He was watching from the top of the house across the street. Picking up his machine gun, he aimed it at the different areas where people would be standing. Paying close attention to where the Groom would be with his bride.

As he watched everyone setting up, he seen Danny coming out of the door. Aiming the gun on him as he went along, he knew this would be a day no one would ever forget.



"Hey Mac, what time is Frank coming?"

"He's not. he had plans with his son this afternoon. He won't be back till morning."

"Shame he's going to be missing out on all the fun."

"I know, but he's taken really hard. Being forced into retierment kind of hurt him. He feels like he has nothing left to hold onto."

"I take it you've been talking to Horatio?"

"I have Danny. He's spoken with Frank several times, and even he's noticed he's withdrawn."

"That's a shame."

"DAD!!!!I said no,no, no."

"Stop it MJ, she's your cousin, you will walk with her whether you want to or not."

"I hate you dad. I wish mommy was still alive."

Michael welded up with tears, as Mac watched him try and calm his son. Walking over ....

"MJ, come with papa please."

"No...I don't want too. And I don't want to come to some dumb wedding, I just want to go home to NY. I want my mom back, can't you understand that."

Running upstairs, Michael tried to follow him.

"Leave him son. I'll talk with him."

When Mac got upstairs, he found MJ crying, holding onto his moms picture.

"MJ, can papa come in?"

"I don't care. It's your house."

"Mj, I know you are hurting real bad right now. But it's not your daddy's fault mommy died."

"I know...it's Caroline's. If mommy didn't give birth to her, she wouldn't have died."

That did it for Mac. It was one thing to say you hated someone, but to wish your sibiling was never born, that was a huge no. no."

Picking up his granson in his arms he said....

"NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME YOUNG MAN. DON'T YOU EVER WISH YOUR SISTER WAS NEVER BORN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? IT WAS NOT YOUR SISTERS FAULT YOUR MOTHER DIED. IT WAS NO ONES FAULT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

MJ was in tears.

"I'm sorry papa, I didn't mean it. I just miss my mom so much. And daddy cries all the time. It's not fair that my cousins get a new daddy, but I can't have a new mommy."

"Listen son. At this time, your daddy needs you. He needs you to help him get through this. And you can trust me on this, one day daddy will find someone to love. Right now the only thing daddy cares about, is you and Caroline. Do you understand that?"

"I do papa. I should go say sorry to daddy."

"That's my boy. You do that, and then get ready okay."

"Okay papa, I love you."

"I love you too son."

As the music began, Natalia and Ryan were getting ready to walk down the aisle first. With Mac and Mackenzie behind them.

"You look stunning Mackenzie. Are you happy?"

"Very happy daddy. I now know how you and felt, when you finally married."

"You deserve it sweetheart. You and my girls, deserve all the happiness in the world."

As the wedding march began, Sara walked down the aisle with MJ beside her, as she tossed her flowers left to right. When they neared the center of the makeshift alter, one went left, and the other went right. Following behind them were Shannon, and Sharon who had Sheldon, and Adam on their arms.

Once everyone was standing at the alter, Natalia came down the aisle in a beautiful powder blue gown, with a train of white flowers, that lead from her vail. When she reached the end of the aisle, Ryan passed her to Danny as the Priest said....

"Who gives this bride away?"

"I do, Ryan Wolfe."

Moving to the seat, he sat as they watched Mac and Mackenzie enter. Hearing the oooh's, and aaaahs, she began to cry. For she was dressed like an Angel. Her gown was made from golden silk, with little white pearls across the sleeves, while her vail matched the gown perfectly, as the train, reached at least eight feet. When they neared the end of the aisle, the Priest said....

"Who gives this bride away?"

"I do, her father. Mac Taylor."

Placing his daughters hand in Eric's, they walked to the alter.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, in front of friends and family, to untie two couples in wedlock.

*BANG, BANG, BANG,, BANG.*

"GET DOWN, EVERYBODY DOWN," yelled Mac.

"Flack, check where those shots are coming from."

As Flack looked around, he seen the house from across the way. The glare of a gun.

"Across the street Mac, first house, dead center."

As they all ran out, Natalia seen her dress covered in blood.

"Oh my God, I've been shot."

As everyone rushed over, they checked her over, but found no trace. Then as Sara looked at her mommy, she screamed.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMY....."

As Mac and the others raced to the house, they found it empty. Nearing the roof, they found remains of shells.

"Get these picked up and back to the lab. Danny, I want this rooftop checked over twice, every square inch of it. NOW!!!"

As everyone got to work, Eric's cell phone rang.

"Delko."

*Crying* "Eric, we need you to get back here, Mackenzie was shot, hurry Eric, it's not good."

"What's going on Eric?"

"Mackenzie's been shot, Stella said it's not good. I need to go."

"You go ahead, be careful, and make sure everyone else is okay."

"I will dad, I promise."

When Eric got back to the house, he seen the EMT's working on Mackenzie.

"Move damn it, let me through."

"Daddy, daddy, mommy's gonna die, help her daddy."

Poor Eric, he had the girls crying while holding him anywhere they could grab. Bending down Eric whispered....

"Mac...can you hear Mac?"

Slowly opening her eyes, she tried to focus, but her pain was to great.

"Maaa....maaaa...."

"What sweetheart? What are you trying to say?"

*Whisper*Marry me Eric, please, before....."

Passing out of conciousness again, he called the Priest over.

"Listen, forget the vows, just get to the "I do's, NOW!!!"

"But that's unheard of."

"I don't care, just get us married before my wife dies."

Pulling the ring from his pocket, he held it near Mackenzie's finger.

"Say it now Father."

"Mackenzie Marie Taylor, do you wed Eric?"

*whisper* "YES"........


Sliding the ring on her finger, Stella passed Mackenzie's hers for Eric.

"Eric Delko, do you wed Mackenzie Marie Taylor?"

"I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, and in front of all family and guests, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

As Eric bent to kiss her, he heard her intake of breath.

*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

"She's stopped breathing, hurry, HURRY, DAMN IT, She's stopped breathing," he cried.

As the EMT's got to work, Eric held his daughters close, as they cried.

"Daddy, please, daddy, tell us mommy won't die?"

"Shhhh....it's okay my babies, shhhh....daddy's here, you'll be okay. Just let daddy hold you, cuddle into daddy, don't watch, that's it, just close your eyes tight."

Shocking her with the paddles, they still got no response.

"Again, 300." Still nothing changed.

"We need to move her now."

As they transported her, Eric and the girls followed ahead in the Hummer, leading the way.

"I'm still not getting a reading, it's been 7 minutes."

"Do it again, 500, shock now."

*beep,beep,beep,beep,beep*

"Thank God we got a pulse."

"EMT 345 to Miami General."

"Go ahead 345."

"We have a female victim, Mackenzie Marie Delko, 31 years of age, with a gun shot wound to her upper abdomen area. Victim is incoherant, blood pressure is 180/120, pulse is at 130 bpm. Victim has also flatlined twice, we are pulling into General now. Please set up transfussion, and have Trauma team ready."

"10/4, 345, we will be ready."
 
Aww... poor Eric and the girls. I'm glad Mack's pulse came back. I hope she's okay. I hope they find that shooter soon.
 
As Horatio, Calleigh, Stella, and the others showed up at the ER, they asked where they could find Eric Delko.

"Excuse me, I'm Horatio Caine, could you please tell us where we can find Lt.Eric Delko?"

"He's over at Trauma one."

"Thank you."

As they headed down, Frank came rushing in.

"Horatio...I just heard, how is she?"

"Frank? I thought you were with your kids. How did you know what happened?"

"Umm..oh, I heard it over my son's police scanner."

Horatio gave him that look that said....

"I don't understand Frank, your kids don't even live in Miami anymore. How did you get back so fast?"

"What's with all the questions H?"

At that moment Mac walked in.

"Any word yet?"

"Nothing yet Mac."

"Frank? How did you get here so fast?"

"What is it with you people. I come to see if Mackenzie is okay, and I get the third degree."

Raising his hands to wipe his face, Mac noticed the trace of powder on his right hand. Looking him over further, he seen a shell casing under his shoe.

"Horatio....a word please."

"What is it Mac?"

"Why the hell does Frank have traces of powder on his hands, and a shell casing in his shoe?"

As they looked at Frank, he became nervous.

"Frank...Frank...Don't do it Frank."

Just as Horatio finished his words, Frank had Calleigh at gun point.

"Frank, put the gun down, let's talk about this. Come on Frank, we've been friends to long for this."

"Friends....you're kidding right. You and your NY buddies role into town and take over Miami-Dade, leaving me without my job. Forcing me and others into retirement just so your friends can take over."

"It wasn't like that Frank. We were all forced into early retirement because they wanted a younger crew to take over the Miami-Lab. You weren't the only one Frank. The move was coming, we all knew it. It was time for the younger ones to take over."

"Whatever H. I wasn't ready, I shouldn't have been let go. You could have stopped it."

"Frank..Frank...I couldn't. It had nothing to do with me. Now please, let Calleigh go."

Mac could see the confusion in Franks eyes. He could also see Delko sneaking up behind Frank with deadly fire in his eyes.

"Frank, I'm going to ask you once more, put down the gun."

Just as Frank cocked the gun, Calleigh closed her eyes, and thought back to John Hagen, the day he cocked the gun to her at the crime scene.

Opening her eyes, she looked at Horatio, and whispered.....

"I love you, always", as the tears dripped down her face.

*BANG*
 
You and your cliffhangers. :lol: I hope Calleigh's okay. Frank's acting a little like a soldier who came back from war with PTSD. :lol: I'm worried about what Delko will do to him. :lol: Not necessarily for Frank's sake, but for Eric's and the girls' sakes. Good chapter.
 
Meanwhile, in surgery, the Trauma team were trying to stop the bleeding in Mackenzie's abdomen. As they sponged, one of the surgeons called....

"Stop. Everyone stop what you are you doing."

"But doctor, she'll die, she's bleeding to death."

"She's also pregnant, I just noticed. I'd say she's eight weeks along, maybe nine. We are going to have to work around the sack, else we will cause her miscarry."

As the surgeons continued, they began using extra care with Mackenzie's organs.

"I found the bleeder doctor, it's to the left of the diaphragm."

"Good catch, now let's get her stitched up."

After 8 hours of surgery, Mackenzie was stable enough to be taken to recovery.

"Excuse me doctor, would you like me to inform the husband, he's waiting in the ICU."

"Sure, that would be great. Also let him know we will be sending her up shortly, but don't mention the baby. That's his wife's job."

"Yes doctor."


Meanwhile.....

Michael was still at the house getting things locked up before he headed over to the Hospital.

*Knock, knock*

Answering the door, he seen a woman who looked liked Natalia.

"Hi can I help you?"

"I hope so, I'm Natalia's sister, Anya. I'm sorry I'm late for the wedding. But where is everyone?"

All Michael could do was stare. She was very beautiful.

"Umm...there was a shooting. Everyone is at the Hospital."

"Was it Natalia, is she okay?"

"Nat's fine, it was my sister who was shot, they're not sure if she'll make it."

"Oh no. Not the one who was going to marry Eric?"

"She did marry him, and yes, that's the one."

"How come you're not at the Hospital?"

"I'm just getting everything locked up, and heading over now."

"Could I get a lift with you?"

"Sure, just give me a few minutes."

As Michael walked away to grab his keys, Anya checked out his assets.


"MJ, grab Caroline and let's go."

"Coming dad."

"Oh...you're married?"

"Widowed, I lost my wife a few months ago."

"I'm so sorry to hear that."

"So am I. She died after childbirth."

"Dad...I can't find Caroline's diaper bag."

"It's down here son, now let's go."

Walking down the stairs with his sister, Anya swore she was seeing double.

"Wow...he's your son alright. Look at him, he looks like a mini you."

"Dad...who's this?"

"This is Anya, Nat's sister, she's here for the wedding."

"Oh. Does she know about the...."

"She does son. Now let's get going. I really need to see how my sister is."

As they all headed out the door, Anya thought to herself....

"What a sweet little family."
