Chapter 42:

“Quinn?” Mac looked at the redheaded woman standing in the door to his office. “What brings you here?”

She smiled, “This.” She pointed at a photograph in a magazine. With the text: “The departed actor Jimmy Sander’ fiancée re-engaged.”

”Congratulations.” She sent him a look saying, ‘what are you thinking’

“You know, since Claire’s death, I’ve been living with this hope, that it would one day be you and me…” She started, Mac cut her off. “You know that wont happen, I love Stella, and I’m marrying her, there’s nothing that will ever be able to change that.”

Quinn walked up beside him, then out of nothing, she kissed him, just like that.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t feel anything.” She looked him in the eyes.

Mac looked away, to see his Stella stand in the door with a jealous, and definitely angry look on her face. Then she did something he wouldn’t ever have expected her to do.

She marched in, slapped Quinn right across the face, before she looked at Mac, with a look saying ‘how could you do that?’

Then she turned around and was about to march out, “Stella!” He knew that from her point of view, he had just done something unforgivable.

“Don’t even think about following me!” Her voice was angry, but still affected by the tears that were now running down her cheeks.

When Stella had marched out of the office, Mac looked at Quinn.

“Who the hell do you think you are?! You cant just march in here, and ruin everything! There never have been an “us” and there never will be! I love Stella, and there’s no one in the whole world, that would be worth loosing Stella for. Especially not you! Is that clear?!”

Mac took a deep breath as Quinn nodded, “Now I suggest you get the hell out of my crimelab, before I do something I’ll regret!”

Quinn marched out of the crimelab with a hurt look on her face, but Mac didn’t care, all he cared about, was telling Stella that he would never do that to her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



“Stella, what happened?” Lindsay looked at her, this was something Stella hadn’t done since high school, hiding in the ladies room, crying over a boy, or man this time.

“He kissed her!” the tears were going strong down her cheeks, she barely noticed the confused look on Lindsay’s face.

“Who kissed who?”

“Mac, and Quinn!” Stella looked in the mirror, only to discover her mascara run down her cheeks.

“Are you serious?” Lindsay’s expression was priceless, if Stella had been in the mood to care of course.

“I saw it, I walked past his office when I just looked towards him and saw them kissing.” Stella took a deep breath, trying to get everything to make sense in her head, but failed.

“Are you sure that was what happened? I mean, it’s Mac, the man has been in love with you for years, he wouldn’t ever screw your relationship up by kissing Quinn.” Lindsay held her arms around her.

“I know what I saw, but I don’t believe it, I mean, it’s Mac, my Mac, I love him, and he proposed to me 2 weeks ago, he cant have gotten cold feet already, we haven’t even set a date.” Stella heard the confusion in her own voice. Lindsay looked at her.

“You should go home to Angelina and you granddaughter, think things through, and give Mac a chance to explain when he comes home.”
 
Funny that she slapped Quinn, but not Mac. That must mean that subconsciously on some level she must know it wasn't Mac's fault. :)
 
Of course she knows that Mac wouldn't do that to her, but we all know that Stella easily gets hurt when someone she loves lets her down, or she think they do...



Chapter 43:

“Yea, she just marched in and kissed you, of course she did, because that is what people do.” Stella looked at Mac, the tears where running down her cheeks.

“What do I need to say, to make you believe me?” Mac took a deep breath, “I love YOU Stella, you, and no one else.” He looked her in the eyes, she looked down, to avoid his look, she really wanted to believe him, but it wasn’t the first time something had happened between Mac and Quinn, she knew that.

When Claire still was alive, Mac had kissed Quinn once, nothing more had happened, or so he said, but what if it had?

“I just… I just need some time Mac, I love you so much, I really do, but I cant wrap my head around this right now. I’m sorry.” Stella left the living room and went to the bathroom, she didn’t even consider doing anything, she just sat down at the floor.

Soon she heard the door, meaning that Mac had left, even though he lived there.

She already felt miserable for letting him go, knowing somewhere deep inside that he wouldn’t do such thing to her.

Going upstairs, Stella heard Vanessa laugh from the nursery, and as she went in there, she found Angelina sitting in a chair, playing with her daughter.

“Hey Mom.” She smiled compassionately, “You don’t believe him?”

“I don’t know Honey, It’s a little weird, it’s very weird actually.” Stella held her arms around Angie, her little girl had grown up to be a responsible mom so fast.

“You know mom, when dad died, I figured I could look at my self as an orphan, but I soon realised that I had you, and that’s more than I can ever ask for. You and Mac are like my parents, you know that right?”

“I know honey, you should get some sleep, you have class tomorrow. I’ll put Vanessa to bed.” Stella hugged Angie goodnight, before she took Vanessa and rocked her carefully in her arms.

Angie had class 3 times a week, and while Angie was at school, Stella made sure to be off duty to look after Vanessa.

“Hey honey, did you have a nice day?” Stella stroked the little girls cheek with her finger, Vanessa grabbed her finger and held on tight, just like she had done so many times before.

“I take that as a yes.” Stella kissed the little girls forehead before she placed her carefully in the crib.

“Sleep tight sweetie.”
 
Chapter 44:

“She haven’t spoken to him for 3 days, poor Mac.” Danny looked at Lindsay, they were sitting in the break room, enjoying their lunch break.

They both looked at the DNA lab, where both Mac and Stella were working at the moment, none of them said a word, Stella made a real effort to ignore Mac completely.

“If he really kissed Quinn, I understand Stella, love haven’t exactly treated her well through her life.” Lindsay looked at Danny, he was about to make a remark, but he dropped it.

“I don’t know what to think, it’s their lives, lets just hope they work it out. They belong together.” Lindsay looked at Stella, when Danny looked in the same direction, the first thing he noticed was the tear that was running down her cheek.

“What if this was Quinns plan all along?” Danny raised his eyebrow, Lindsay rolled her eyes, “You and your conspiracy theories.”

“Could be?” Danny knew he had lost the discussion, but he had to try one more time.

He looked towards the DNA lab again, where he saw Stella look at Mac, said something he obviously couldn’t her before she kissed him, almost assaulted him, or so it seemed.

“What ever her plan was, it failed, look.” Danny smiled as Lindsay looked at the happy reunited couple.

Turning their focus back to their lunch, they continued their conversation for a while.

But suddenly they heard a crash from the DNA lab, as they looked that way, they saw Mac standing bent forward over Stella, who was laying in a mess of broken glass and microscopes.

“Oh my god.” Lindsay got up instantly and went to the lab, soon followed by Danny.

“Oy Mac, what happened?” Danny caught himself staring at Stella, she was just laying there, passed out.

“I don’t know, she just passed out.” Mac sat down on his knees next to her, padded her cheek carefully.

“Stella, wake up.” He seemed to calm down a bit, looking at Stella again, Danny realised that she had opened her eyes.

“Honey are you okay?” Mac helped Stella get on her feet, but as soon as she got up, she passed out again, luckily Mac was there to catch her.

“Danny Call EMS!” Mac said, very firm, before he carried Stella off to his office, Danny followed, while calling EMS on his cell.
 
Alrightie then :D


Chapter 45:

Laying Stella down on the couch, Mac wondered what could’ve happened, after their kiss, he had turned around, continued work, but then crash, and she was down for the count.

“Honey… Please open you gorgeous green eyes and look at me…” He looked at Stella, counting the seconds, until she finally woke up.

She tried to sit up but Mac stopped her, “Stella, don’t try to sit up right now, take it easy okay? Last time we tried to get you on your feet you passed out again.”

“The ambulance is on its way.” Danny smiled at Stella.

”You called EMS?” Her voice was just a low whisper, but it was easy to hear the confusion in her tone anyways.

“Yes, we did, and you are going with them…” Mac looked at her, he ignored the look in her eyes saying, not in a million years I’m not.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Have you been going through a lot of emotional stress lately?” dr. Parker looked at Stella, she nodded, “Well, sort of.”

“Then that was probably part of the cause, it was probably also caused by the fact that you were exhausted, to say it mildly.” Dr. Parker smiled before he continued, “This is, of course, related to your pregnancy.”

Stella felt her heart skip a beat, and judging by the look on Macs face, his heart skipped a beat or two as well.

“Excuse me, my what?” Stella looked at the doctor, he smiled nervously.

“Are you telling me you didn’t know?” He looked highly confused as they both nodded. “Well, that is, rather odd, considering the fact that you are 9 weeks pregnant, with triplets, none the less.”

Mac almost fell backwards off his chair, Stella felt like she was going to faint, before she pulled herself together.

“Well, no wonder I’ve gained a little weight lately.” She smiled, still a little chocked.

“Do you have any kids?” dr. Parker seemed to fall back to normal a little.

“Well, I have a 16 year old living at home, but she’s not biologically mine, and she has a 3 months old, but no, I don’t really have any kids of my own.” Stella took Macs hand, squeezed it slightly, his face had taken a pale almost white colour.

“Well, congratulations then. You should take it easy, I suggest that you cut down your working hours already now, and take it very slow when you are at work.”
 
Chapter 46:

“Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god.” Mac was almost stunned, Stella knew that right now he wouldn’t make much sense, he wouldn’t until the morning when he had gotten some rest.

“Come here Honey, off to bed you go okay? I’ll just go check on Angie and Vanessa.” Stella almost pushed Mac in direction of the bedroom before she went to Angie’s room.

“Hey sweetie, are you awake this late?” Stella sat down next to her on the bed.

”Yea, I just put Vanessa to bed.” Angie rested her head on Stellas shoulder.

”I’m so proud of you honey, I’ll hope I’ll handle it as well as you do.” Stella looked at Angie, who first had a confused look on her face but it soon changed to a smile.

”Mom, are you pregnant?”

“Yea, you are going to be a big sister, for 3.”

”Oh my, did you and Mac make up?”

“Yea, finally.” Stella smiled by herself, she was so glad that her and Mac had made up, before she found out about the babies.

“So how is he taking this?” Angie smiled, she knew that Mac always needed time to think such things through.

“The only thing he said the whole way home was “oh god, oh god, oh god.” And so on, but he’ll get used to it, I hope.”

“I think he will.” Angelina placed her arm around her, making a feeling of comfort run through her.
