Thank you Asprine, AnJella, GregNickRyanFan and MacsGirlMel. Here's part 5.
Two ambulances took Stella and Susan to the ER. Mac and Flack talked about the case while he was waiting for Stella. Flack reported Susan’s wound on the wrist has been treated. She had some bruises on the shoulders. Lindsay took photos and processed her. There was sign of rape. Susan had calmed down a bit and felt sorry for hurting Stella. Flack had a uniform stationed outside her room, but didn’t think she would cause trouble again. They would take her statement next day.
Ten minutes later, a doctor came out to talk to Mac. “The cut on the cheek was not so deep. We don’t think it would leave any scar at all. But Detective Bonasera has a minor concussion. We want to keep her overnight, just for cautiousness.”
“Thank you Doctor.” Mac was relieved.
A nurse wheeled Stella out. She had some color back.
“How is she?” She asked quickly.
“She’s fine. She would stay here tonight, so as you. Work will be continued tomorrow.”
“Mac, I don’t want to stay.”
“You are staying. This is an order.” Mac smiled.
“This is not necessary. I want to go home.” Stella was impatient.
“Just one night, Stella. I wouldn’t let them keep you more than that. We have too many works to do. Deal?” Mac said softly.
“Deal.” Stella agreed reluctantly.
“Good. I’m going back to work now. I’ll see you later.”
“You don’t need to come back to check on me. I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” Stella said unhappily.
Mac smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
Flack was watching them amusingly. Sometimes, the two of them acted just like lovers instead of work partners. Unfortunately, they themselves didn’t aware. Flack was wondering when they would come to sense.
----------------------------------------
It was two o’clock in the morning when Mac returned to the hospital. Stella was sleeping peacefully. Looking at her beautiful face, now with a bandage on the cheek, Mac’s heart was aching. He understood they had a risky job. But they had enough knowledge and professions. In these years they worked together, they’d been through different dangerous situations. Today, it happened right in front of him. His blood froze when he saw Susan waved the cutter in front of Stella’s face. If Susan moved the cutter few inches down, it would cut Stella’s throat. He remembered how terrible it was when Reed had been cut. He couldn’t imagine the same thing happened on Stella. It was so close.
Mac loved his wife, Claire, but not with his whole heart. He kept his little secret in a walled corner in his heart. The secret was Stella. They worked side by side, took care of each other. They knew where the line was drawn. They stayed on the friend and partner side, the safe side. Claire had gone for years. The wall cracked gradually. Today, it broke into dust and flew with the wind. Stella filled his heart. Mac finally admitted she was far beyond an important person to him. He loved her. Kissed her on the head was impulsive, but it was from his heart.
Mac touched the bandage on Stella’s cheek. The motion woke her.
“Mac? What are you doing here? Why don’t you go home?”
“You didn’t snore at all.” Mac smiled. “I want to keep you company.” A pause. “The truth is I needed some company tonight.”
“Are you alright?” Stella sat up.
“I’m fine, how about you?”
“I’m good, except for your restraining order.” Stella made a face.
“Go back to sleep then. The retraining order is due in a couple of hours.” Mac sat down in the chair.
“Go home, Mac. You’re tired. The chair is not a comfortable place to rest.”
“You know I don’t sleep much.” Mac showed her a book that he carried.
“Stubborn!” Stella yawned and turned to the other side. She was smiling when she went back to sleep.

Hi, gals. I'm sorry for update so late, I have a busy weekend. Here's part 6, hope you like it too. Comments are welcome.
“I’m sorry Detective Bonasera. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Susan apologized. Stella and Mac were sitting across to her in the interrogation room.
“I understand it was an accident. I wouldn’t charge you on it.” Stella glanced at Mac when she was speaking. Mac didn’t object to what she said.
“We have evidence that Dave Dodge raped you. But you might still have to face the charge of murder. You have to make an official statement, telling only the truth. We’ll take it to the D.A. The D.A. would consider all the factors before taking the case to the court.” Mac explained the situation to Susan.
“I know it’s difficult to recall all the ugly memories. Just take your time. Do you want some water?” Stella continued.
“No.” Susan lowered her head. She took a deep breath and started. She told them how she met Dodge the first time. How he approached her. What he had done to her in that day and how she killed him. At last, she told them she buried the murder weapon, the rock sample, in the backyard of her home. When she finished, her tears soaked the tissue Stella had gave her.
Mac and Stella felt sorry for her, but they had job to do. Mac told a uniformed officer to take Susan to booking.
Stella sat back in the chair. She felt tired.
“Your head still hurt?” Mac was concerned.
“I was tired of these things. It was so unfair. The innocents have to pay for the crimes those monsters had committed. When will those evil things stop? How can we stop them?” She held her hands together tightly.
Mac sat beside her. He wanted to comfort her so much. But this is not the right place to do anything like that. “Stella, they were only innocent before they did something evil. They should report the crimes, not took care of it with their own hands.” Mac paused. “Go home. Take the rest of day off.”
“No. I’m sorry. Let’s get back to work.” Stella got up.
“Go home. You’re tired.” Mac insisted.
“Alright. Thank you Mac.” Stella left.
----------------------------------------
It was late night but Stella couldn’t sleep. She was listening to her favorite songs, and sipping a cup of herbal tea when the phone rang. She knew it was Mac before she picked up the receiver.
“Let me guess. You needed some company again.” Stella made a joke before Mac spoke.
Mac chuckled. “Yeah, how do you know that?”
“I was lucky.” Stella smiled. She curled up in the couch like a lazy cat.
“What’s that song you are listening? I can’t hear it clearly. Can you turn up the volume?” Mac was interested.
“Do you know what time it is now, Mr. Taylor?” Stella laughed.
“Right, it’s late. Then sing to me. I know you can sing, Stella.” Something strange in Mac’s voice, something very different but Stella couldn’t tell what. It wasn’t the Mac she familiar with.
“Are you drunk?” Now she was interested.
“When did you ever see me drink? I just want to hear you sing.” There was definitely something. “Please, Miss Bonasera.”
Stella hesitated for a minute. Then she started to sing.
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling! ......
The last note died. None of them speak.
“It’s a beautiful song. You’re a very good singer, Stella.” Finally, Mac broke the silence.
“Thank you.” Stella blushed. She was glad that Mac couldn’t see her. “Can you tell me why you call now?” She asked although she already knew the answer.
“I just want to know if you’re OK.”
“I’m feeling better now, thank you.”
“So, see you tomorrow. Have a good sleep.”
“Yay.” They held the phone for another minute before hung up.
Tonight was different from the other nights Mac had called. He had never called her Miss Bonasera before. She could feel his care was more than in a friendly way. Stella felt her heart warm and full.
Miles away, Mac was smiling to himself. Something had changed tonight. It felt good to hear Stella’s voice, to hear her sang. His feelings for Stella were getting stronger and stronger. Maybe it’s time to do something!

Hey MacsgirlMel, thank you for your comments! I think you would love the new part here. (Hope I don't guess it wrong. )
The next two days were busy days. Mac, Danny and Hawkes worked a double homicide. Stella and Lindsay were on another murder case. Mac and Stella hadn’t seen each other much. When they bumped into each other in the hallway, they would exchange information about their cases. There was no late night calls, no personal talks. They were working so hard, finally have the cases solved.
“Stella.” Stella turned to see Reed got out of the elevator.
“Reed. Hey. Mac’s not in the office.” Stella smiled.
“I’m not here to see him. I was in the neighborhood. I just dropped by to say hi.”
An idea popped up in Stella’s mind. “I have some information for you. Come on, let’s talk in my office.”
“Do you want some coffee?” Stella asked when they sat down.
“No. Thanks.” Reed took out his Blackberry.
“OK. This guy lured young girls with some fancy stuffs to had sex with him. He took naked pictures of them. He wrote all the details on his blog and sold the pictures in the internet. There was a girl he wanted so much, but she wouldn’t accept his offer. Few days ago, he finally lured her to his place. He raped her. This girl was shamed and angry, she killed him.” Stella paused. “Besides reporting the case, I want you write something to warn the other girls. Tell them how dangerous this world is.”
“What would happen to that girl?” Reed felt sorry for Susan.
“The D.A. is debating on self-defense. But she would never be the same.” Stella sighed. Then she saw Mac coming.
“Reed, we have an appointment?” Mac asked.
“Hey, Mac. I just dropped by to say hi. Stella gave me some information on a case.”
“The Dodge’s case.” Stella added.
Mac nodded. “Right, you can write something to warn the other girls.”
Reed laughed loudly. “You two can read each other’s mind.”
Stella blushed.
Mac cleared his throat. “Let’s go for dinner. Stella, leave the paper works for tomorrow.”
“Mac, you and Reed may want some men talk.” Stella started to refuse the invitation.
“There’s nothing we can’t talk in front of you. I never have meal with you before. Come on, Stella, I’m starving.” Reed said.
Stella looked at Mac, who waited patiently outside her office.
“Alright.” She took her handbag and left with them.
----------------------------------------
They talked and laughed through out dinner. Well, Mac was listening more than talking. He was happy. He glanced at Stella, she was gorgeous. And Reed was so relaxing. He talked about his adoptive family, school and his blog because Stella could understand. The three of them looked like a happy family. Mac didn’t has such relax and happy moment in years.
Mac paid the bill and they got out of the restaurant.
“I have to go now. My friends would come over to watch the football game. Thank you, Mac, Stella. I have a great time. Next time, I’ll take you two to this burger shop. They make the most delicious burgers in the States.” Reed waved them goodbye.
“You want to take a walk?” Mac asked Stella.
“Sure.”
They walked along the sidewalk slowly, enjoyed the night breezes. They walked in silence for a few minutes. Usually, they would talk on different topics, work mostly. Stella was a bit quiet tonight.
“Reed was in quite a chatty mood tonight.” Mac said.
“You believe he was just passing by?” Stella asked.
“Not a second. He usually came to ask my opinion on something. This is odd.” They walked into a playground. There were some benches under the trees. Stella went to one of the benches and sat down. She took out a little object from her bag and handed it to Mac. “Reed gave this to me the other day. As a matter of fact, it belongs to you.” Stella leaned back.
“A paperweight? Why?” Mac didn’t understand. He sat beside her.
“He made it especially for Claire, but didn’t have the chance to see her. He said he felt warm when he wrongly identified me as his mother. Said he felt warm and safe when we found him injured in that basement.” Stella blushed. “He said we were a perfect couple. I think he was playing matchmaking.”
Mac didn’t speak. He examined the paperweight from different angles. It was made of clay, some colorful flowers in a basket. It was rough and simple, suggesting Reed was not a good sculptor. But it was much valuable than the greatest sculptures in the world. Reed gave it to Stella meant he thought she was a very important person to him.
“I don’t think I should keep it, Mac. I know you love Claire. You and I are just partners, good friends. ” Tears welled in Stella’s eyes. “I know it’s stupid to ask for more. But you should know you’re more than partner or friend to me.” Stella’s heart was bleeding.
“What if I said different?” Mac turned to face Stella.
Stella was shocked. This was an unexpected response from Mac.
Mac took Stella’s hand. “What if I said over a decade of friendship and partnership is enough for me? What if I said I want more than that?” With a shy smile, Mac asked the questions softly and slowly.
A tear sneaked out the corner of Stella’s eye.
“What if I said I love you, Stella?” Mac looked into her eyes. He wiped Stella’s tears away with his thumbs.
Their gazes locked. Stella’s heart was racing. Mac’s face moved closer and closer. Then his lips brushed hers gently and lingered for a second. Stella crossed her hands behind Mac’s neck when he deepened the kiss. It was a long and sweet kiss. They took their time to taste and cherish each other. If Reed saw this picture, he might smile like a fool.
“I think we should thank Reed. His little trick worked.” Stella whispered in Mac’s ear.
“Maybe someday we should play matchmaking for him.” Mac started kissing her all over again.
