Re: "MaCalleigh....What should've been".
Welcome to "Macalleigh's first Christmas". You will find this story here, and on FF.Net. This story will bring love, passion, warmth, friendship and family together in one house, "The Taylor House". So sit back and enjoy "Macalleigh's first christmas".
It was the week before Christmas, as Mac and Calleigh, got Macalleigh ready, to go Christmas tree hunting. As Mac picked up his Angel, he layed her across the change table, and began dressing her. "Hello, my beautiful Macalleigh, with eyes of turqouise blue, are you excited about finding our first christmas tree". Looking at her daddy with trust and love, she mewed a sound, and fell back to sleep.
"Mac....are you two almost ready"? asked Calleigh. "Just about love, I just have to put on her little boots". Calleigh walked into the bedroom, and found Macalleigh dressed in a beautiful red snowsuit, with little red boots. "Awww...look at her hun, she's gorgeous". "Of course she is love, she has her mothers looks", smiled Mac. "Yeah, with her daddy's grin". "I love you sweetheart", said Mac, as he passed Macalleigh to her mom.
"I love you too, Det.Taylor". Walking together out of the Nursery, they locked the door, and headed to the car. As they put Macalleigh into her seat, she cried. "Waa, waa,waa". "Shhh....it's okay sweetie", said Calleigh, passing her her soother. Starting the car, Macalleigh closed her eyes, and fell asleep. "Buckle up love, said Mac. "Okay Det.Taylor, let's go". Taking Calleigh's hand into his , he began driving.
When they arrived at the tree stop, Mac parked the car, grabbed Macalleigh, took Calleigh by the hand, and began walking through the trees. "Good evening sir, how are you tonight", asked the tree seller. "I'm great, thank you, we are looking for your biggest bushiest tree, and it must be very green", said Mac. "Auuugh....your daughter's first christmas". "Yes, and everything must be perfect her".
As they walked along the path, Mac seen the seven foot tree, that was bright green, and full of bushes. "This one, we will take this one". "Great choice, this is one of a kind, wonderful, I shall have one of my staff, tie it to your car". "Thank you, that would be great". With the tree tied to the Taylor car, Mac, Calleigh, and Macalleigh, headed to the mall, to have their picture done with Santa.
Walking into the mall, Caleigh could see Santa sitting on his chair, chanting...."ho, ho, ho". Arriving in front of Santa, Macalleigh opened her eyes and screamed....Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, waaa, aaaaa,,aaaaa,waaaaa". "Awww...come on love, it's just Santa", said Calleigh, as she sat on Santa's knee with Macalleigh. Taking the baby into his arms, Santa told Mac to sit on his other knee. "Umm...no thanks, I'll pass on that Santa, thank you".
"Mac....said Calleigh, come on, this is Macalleigh's first christmas, let's make it special for her". Knowing how important it was to his wife, Mac sat on Santa's other knee, and with their daughter sandwiched between them, the elf snapped the picture. "Oh..this is gorgeous, come have a look". As Calleigh and Mac walked over, with Macalleigh, they seen the beauty of the photo, all the way to Macalleigh's turquoise eyes. "We will take ten 5x7's, including six 8x10", and 20 wallet size, said Calleigh with excitment.
"Sweetheart, why so many photo's"? asked Mac. "Well...there is Horatio, Stella, Danny, Flack, Hawkes, Sid, our families, and friends, besides that, how often does your team, get to see you, sitting on Santa's knee"? "Listen Calleigh, no one is going to see me sitting on anyones knee". "Sure Mac, now come on, let's go pick out some presents for Macalleigh". "Sweetheart, I'm getting hungry, and I'm sure Macalleigh is too". "Okay, than let's go eat, and then we will do shopping".
With Mac and Macalleigh fed, Calleigh headed to the "Toy's R Us". "Slow down love, the toys are not going to disappear", said Mac. "I know, but it's getting late". As they entered the store, Calleigh's eyes lit up. "Oh Mac...look at this place, and all these toys, let's head over to the baby section". Poor Mac, the only thing he wanted to do, was go home and relax.

Chapter 2
Later that evening, during dinner, Mac and Calleigh discussed the tree trimming party with their team on thursday. "What do you think Mac, does six sound okay, we can have everyone bring something, and have a huge potluck dinner". "Sounds great sweetheart, this is going to be one very special christmas for our Macalleigh". "I know, having the whole NY family together, along with Horatio and Stella, will be a magical one".
"Sweetheart, when do Horatio and Stella arrive"? asked Mac. "Tomorrow at 5:45pm, I told them you would pick them up". "That's fine, said Mac, as he picked up Macalleigh, and carried her to the den. Laying her upon the blanket, while Calleigh did up the dishes, Mac turned on her musical box, and watched as Macalleigh was soothed back to sleep. "Daddy's Angel, cooed Mac, as he caressed her little hand, as it wrapped around his finger, while she slept.
The following morning, Danny, Hawkes, and Flack showed up at Mac's to help put up the seven foot tree. "Hey Mac, we're here, let's see this tree", said Danny. Taking them out to the back, they all stood in shock and awe. "Damn Mac, how the hell did you get in the back yard"? asked Danny. "It wasn't easy, just like it's not going to be easy, getting it into the house". Flack laughed...."leave it to you Mac, to get a tree this large". As they all grabbed an end of the tree, they carted it into the living room, and with huff's and puff's, they stood it in the stand.
As Calleigh walked in with coffee, she said...."oh my, is that ever large, how are we ever going to fill it with bulbs, and ornaments"? Wrapping his arms around his wife, Mac said..."don't worry love, everyone is bringing decorations tomorrow for the trimming, trust me, the tree will be well decorated, for our daughters first christmas". "Hey Mac, have you decided where everyone is going to sleep"? asked Flack. "Yeah...Calleigh and I have that all figured out, don't worry, it's going to be a wonderful New York christmas".
Once everyone left, Mac had two hours, before he had to pick up Horatio and Stella, at the Airport. "Calleigh....have you got the spare room ready for the Caine's"? "Of course I do, I even put on the black satin sheets, and comforter", she giggled. "You are very naughty Mrs.Taylor". "No more then you Det.taylor", as she teased Mac with her new black jumper. "Come here sweetheart, I want to take you out of that outfit", winked Mac sinisterly. "Dream on detective, I have a roast to watch, and a daughter to feed", as she has just woken up".
When Mac left for the Airport, Calleigh got the dinner table ready with the good china, and wine glasses. "There we are, all set Macalleigh, what do you think sweetie"? "Mew...she purred, as her mom picked her up and cradled her. *Ding dong*. As Calleigh answered the door, she seen Natalia and Eric standing there. "Oh my God...what are you two doing in New York"? "We are here visiting Natalia's friends, and thought we'd stop by and say hi". "Well come in then, said Calleigh with excitement.
"So are you here for christmas than"? "No, we are heading back tonight, Horatio needs us to watch the Lab, while he and Stella are here", said Eric. "Oh...that's to bad, but you will stay for dinner tonight, right"? "I wish we could Calleigh, but our flight leaves in two hours". "Oh my... you guys are leaving, as Horatio and Stella are arriving". "I know, said Natalia, too funny". After talking a little longer, Eric and Natalia, left for the Airport.
