Time heals everything ?! (Stella/Mac-centric fic)

Thank you sooo much for the nice feedback. I really apperciate it!.
Here's a short update for you:

„You gotta be kidding us, Adam. You cannot be serious! Stella‘s never mentioned any relatives of Frankie…I can‘t believe this whole stuff is coming back now! We have to solve this case faster as it‘s possible. I don‘t want to bedevil Stel with this anymore. I‘ll meet her tomorrow in the hospital. I can‘t help asking her about that. As sorry as I am. And now guys back to work!“ , Mac said discomposedly. „Sure, Mac. We totally agree with you.“ ,his team answered.
Mac went back to his office to do some researches on Frankie‘s family. But even after hours he hadn‘t found anything. ‚How‘s that possible? How can some one just disappear like that‘ He checked his clock. 8 a.m.. I‘ll see Stella now. ‚It‘s about time. I have to talk with her, but I don‘t know how to do this without hurting her. But she‘s tough. She‘s gonna make. I hope.‘
At the hospital Mac immediately found Stella‘s room. When he entered, he saw her sitting in her bed and dreamily looking out of the window. „Morning, Stel. I brought your coffee. How‘re you doing today?“ , he greeted her. „Aww, Mac you‘re an angel. Thanks. Umm much better today, but I‘m still trying to remember anything. Did you find anything at the scene?“ „Yes we did. That‘s why I want to talk with you. If you can‘t do this just tell me. First of all we found some DNA.“ „Ok sounds good. Who does it belong to?“ „Well, that‘s the problem the belong to…to…an first-degree relative of…“ Mac hesitated. „Of who, Mac?“ „Frankie.“ „I‘m not in the mood for kidding, Mac. How‘s that possible?“ „That was what I wanted to ask you. Did Frankie ever mentioned any relatives? I know this must be hard for you. But you‘re the only person, we can ask.“ „I don‘t want this to come back. I thought I‘m done with it…“ She couldn‘t go on speaking, tears stopped her. „Mac…Mac I don‘t want to stay in this hospital any more it‘s reminding me of so much…Please…can I go home…“ „Sure Stel whatever you want. I‘ll just ask a nurse for your papers, ok?“ He said and hugged her as if he‘d never have the possibility to do this anymore. „Thanks, Mac. You know how much that means to me.“ Stella said, gulping back her tears. After they had stayed few endless minutes like that Mac went away to talk to a nurse.
When Mac found a nurse to talk to he asked: „Sorry. May I ask you something?“ „Sure. Who are you?“ „I‘m Det. Taylor and my partner Det. Bonasera is laying in that room over there and she‘s asking to go home. She said you‘ve already checked her. So why does she have to stay here?“ „Det. Taylor we wanted to send her home this afternoon. We think she can‘t stay at home alone now. Or do you know where she can stay until she won‘t be shaken up that much?“ „Okay. That won‘t be a problem. Could you please give me her papers. I‘ll take her.“ „No problem. Just wait few minutes.“ „Sure.“ After five minutes the nurse came back carrying Stella‘s papers. „Well. You have to sign here and your partner next to it. And then you two can go.“ „Thank you.“ Mac said and went back to Stella‘s room. „Stella I got the papers. You have to sign right here and then we can go.“ After Stella had signed she asked Mac: „But where do I stay now? I don‘t want to go home. It‘s freakin‘ me out to be so lonely.“ „No problem, Stel. I‘ve got an extra room.“ Mac said smiling and grabbed her hand.
 
do we still have hope in stella and mac in the series? coz they are going to have new romance.. so.. how about smacked? i really want them both to get together because THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER!!! T_T!
 
Thanks again for the nice fb! :)

When they arrived at Mac‘s place he firstly gave her something to drink and said: „That‘s for you. It‘ll help, ok? I‘ll just drive to your home and fetch some clothes, I still have your key, you know. You can go to sleep or do whatever you want here. Feel like home !“ „Of course, Mac. I‘ll wait here for you and when you come back we can talk about…Frankie and so.“ „You don‘t have to if it‘s still bothering you. I understand that! See you in few minutes.“ Mac left and let Stella alone with her thoughts. ‚Damn it. Why can‘t I remember anything? It‘s blown away. What did Mac say? A relative of Frankie? I don‘t remem…Cripes! How could I forget that? Frankie once said he had a brother who lived somewhere in New Jersey. I have to tell Mac when he‘ll be back. But what was his name? Tim? Tom? I think it was Tom. Mac was so different today. Nothing about Peyton any more. I really appreciate his worries. What would I do without him? He‘s the most important of my life, if not my whole life. But how is our relationship supposed to go on? I feel it hat we‘re more than just friends now. But how to tell him. Let‘s see what the time will bring?‘
Meanwhile in front of Stella‘s apartment. ‚This must be the right key‘ Mac thought. ‚It‘s still in my mind how she gave it to my three years after she had shot Frankie. She handed it to me that I‘m always there to protect her. And I will.‘ Mac entered and went straight to Stella‘s bedroom. There he saw so many pictures of himself and her. One from years ago when he had promoted to head investigator. He remembered as it was yesterday.

*flashback*

Stella: I always knew. You’re gonna make it! I’m so proud of you !
Mac: Ah come on! Quinn was also very qualified. It’s only because of you and my great team why I’m having this wonderful big office now. *laughs*
Danny: You know what boss. I’m so happy that I don’t have to see that ‘Red Head Lady’ again. And, Mac *whispers* take her !
Mac: Who? Stella ? Oh my god no! we’re only the best of friends. Promised.
Danny: It’s always the same thing they say. I swear you you’ll be ending up with each other any time.
Stella: What are you talking about guys? Anything I’ve missed? You both have that look!
Danny: I just said that you a…
Mac: Stop it now, Danny! It’s nothing Stel. Never mind my employee.
Danny: OK boss…*grumbles*

*end of flash back*

‘What wonderful times. Probably Danny wasn’t that wrong. Something has changed between us. The way we talk , laugh and touch. My feelings are really upside-down. It’s no only friendship any more. Well that’s what I feel. But her. Let’s see what they time will bring. But now I have to hurry up.’ After Mac had grabbed his favourite clothes he put them into a bag and headed home to Stella.
Back at Mac‘s. “Hey, Stella! I’m back! Here are few clothes. I hope they’re the right ones.” “Of course! They are my favourites!” ‘So we have the same liking. Ha that’s good!’ “By the way, Mac I’ve been thinking about what you said about the stuff you found at the scene.” Stella said after Mac had really come in. “Wow! That’s awesome! What did Frankie tell you?” “Well, I remembered how he told me once from a brother living somewhere out in New Jersey. I think he’s called Tom.” “That’s good Stel, really good. I’ll look for him tomorrow again. Did he tell anything of this Tom?” “Hmm I don’t think so. Oh I think he also said he was a mechanician or so. Does that help you!” “Yes it does. But now let’s have lunch what do think? I’ll cook for us.” “Aww sounds god, chef Taylor!” Stella replied and she was already feeling really better. All the pain from the last day was forgotten she simply loved to be here with Mac. ‘Let’s see what the future will bring…’
 
I had to use the chocolate idea:lol::lol:.
Enjoy!
___________________________________________
“Stella, how about a chocolate cake? I have some chocolate left!”
“Oh, Mac you’re really pampering me! I love that! *giggles* “I’d do anything to make you feel better. You know that.” Stella stood up and went to Mac in the kitchen to watch him better. “Need any help?” “No I’m fine. Sit down there!” He said and showed her a chair.
“Mmh What’s on the Menu for today, Chef?” “Well as I said chocolate cake and chicken. Is that ok?” “Sure. I loooove chicken. I think you simply know me too well.” She replied and hesitated.
”But, Mac what about last night? How did you mean that. ‘You are with me now’. Were you serious, I mean I can imagine some one thinking that. At least Reed thought we were married !?” “’Now or never, Mac said to him self. I’ve got to tell what’s really going on with my feelings, or at least parts of it.’
“Stella, we were the best of friends. Always. But now I really don’t know what to think or feel any more. Any thing has changed. It’s so different when I see you or when we talk and please don’t say you’re angry with me now. I had to say that. I couldn’t keep it for myself any more. But what about you.”
“Oh Mac! It’s the same with me. And I thought you’d only be kidding. Ok you weren’t telling the truth to Peyton then, but there was something true in it. You don’t know how much better I feel now. I thought it was only me. I know we’re both strong and clever enough to handle the new situation as more-than-friends, aren’t we?”
“Oh Stella we went through so much together . I don’t think this will be a problem! I’m just so happy, too that I didn’t get rejected by you and I didn’t destroy our relationship with what I said. But now I have to go on cooking.” *giggles* “Could you please hand me the chocolate over there, I have to melt it for the cake.” “Here you go!” You really don’t need any help? I have to do something .”
“Ok if you necessarily have to do something. You could melt the chocolate. Here’s a pot and a bowl. I think you know how to make it.”
Their moods were really better after the had spoken out. When Stella had finished the chocolate she asked Mac: “What to now with it, chef?” But right before she wanted to go over to Mac she slipped on the wet floor and slopped the whole chocolate over Mac.
“Ahhh what are you doing? It’s so hot. Help me to get out of my face!”
“OMG! I’m sorry! But somehow the floor was wet. Wait… Damn it I can’t find anything to wipe it away. Well I have to do it with my hand then.” she said and couldn’t stop giggling.
„Ok wait. Freeze!“ She ordered Mac. And both of them busted out in laughing. „You have to keep still or how do you want me to get the stuff out of your eyes.“
„Ok, ok I‘ll try to behave. The whole situation is just to funny..“ But Somehow he could check himself.
„I hope that won‘t hurt you.“ She said and tried to get the chocolate out of his face most carefully she could.
„Aww you‘re doing it well!“ Mac answered still giggling. „And what about the chocolate on my mouth? I can‘t reach it with my tongue.“
„Is that your only problem Detective? Well let‘s see what I can do.“ And then both of them sank in a deep, passionate kiss while Stella wiped the remaining chocolate with her fingers.

As social life called me, I wasn't able to update the last few day. But here you go:
_____________________________________________________________

But suddenly after endless minutes Stella stopped and said: „Mac… Mac… sorry but I remembered something. When I was laying there on the ground and was too weak to move myself I heard the perp saying something like ‚You bitch killed my brother! You have to die now! I have to avenge my brother. He deserves it. He never meant to hurt you! Only because of a website. Phew.‘ Mac I remembered it! Isn‘t that great?“
„Sure, Stel! It is. He meant to kill you. Thank god, that you are so strong! I wouldn‘t have been able to manage my life without as best friend or as girlfriend. I‘m happy that things have turned out like this. I‘m sure I wouldn‘t have been able to repress my for feelings you any longer. I was so frightened of losing you as my friend. But now let‘s eat and go on talking afterwards.“
„Sure, Mac.“ she said and kissed him once again before they finally could start eating.
At the table.
“That tastes incredibly good. You should really think of changing your job.” “Aww, Stel. Thank you. But if had chosen an other job I would’ve never met you. And then.. I really don’t know how I should’ve make it after Claire…had died.”
“Hey, Mac. I’m always there for you and you know that. And you’ve also been there for me. You know, after I had shot Frankie and now. I think to take care of each other is one of the most important things in a good relationship. And that’s why I have no doubts that we’re gonna make the change from friendship into love!”
“You’re so right, Stel. I always knew you’re very clever. But now why don’t we talk about something else?”
“I know we had this subject often enough recently…Mac may I come in the office with you right after we’ll have eaten I have to find Tom. It’s really bothering me. I need to talk to him and explain him why I shot Frankie. I want to finish with this! I had to go through this often enough.”
“I know…and I totally understand you, but though I think you should get some rest. You’ve been knocked out last night. I don’t want you to collapse any time.”
“Mac! That guy actually planned to KILL me and I survived only because I was strong…ok probably he was a little bit stupid...but though… I want to finish this now.”

“Have I already told you how much I love you when you are my ‘little Rambo Stella’?”
“I’m sorry Mac. How did you call me?”, she said teasingly. “Rambo Stella, Phew!”
“Hey Stel. You know how this was meant, do you?” He said and leant over the table to kiss her and show her how much she really means to him. “Wow, Mac. Now I know why I love you so much.” ‘Wow. I just said that I loved him. This is getting better every second.’
“I love you, too. I’ve always done.” And then both couldn’t control themselves any more and sank deeper and deeper in their kiss. “Stel, the office can wait.” Mac said and pulled her towards him and they started to love each other more than they ever did with someone else.

“Let’s go to your office, now. I need to talk solve my case...for ever.”
“Sure, just let my put on my clothes.” Mac said laughing.
“Feel free.”

In Mac’s office. ”I’ll just enter what we know about Tom in my computer let’s see if we find anything that could help us.” “I really hope so.”
*beep* *beep*
“We got a hit, Stel. Tom Mala resident in New York, Bronx near the Franz Siegel Park.”
“Let’s visit him.”
