Spoiler: Raising Shane (311)

Author's Notes: I was working on ARM and then I watched this eppy. First I was kinda 'uh okay, new eppy' then when I saw what happened between Stella/Peyton (morgue), Stella/Peyton/Mac (hallway) and Peyton/Mac (outside the building) I was like TPTB are listening!!! LOL but when I saw the ending... it all went away... (Sorry, I just don't see SH/SB... no offense) So meaning, I had to pour what my shippy heart was feeling. In short, this is me over reacting in the eppy. Bare with me :D All mistakes are mine and again, I am not good with guys' POVs.

Mac's POV:

After the ending scene:

Happy that we proved Sheldon's innocence, I decided to pick him up in the precinct to give him a little warm welcome back drink (I need one too). As I was about to cross the street, I saw him and Stella exit the building... too close together than usual. My heart skipped a beat. Stella never mentioned to me... us that she's picking Sheldon up... she never told me that she and him... none of my business...

I stood in the dark as I watch them together... then Stella told him something and returned to the building. I took this chance to walk up to him and talk.

"Sheldon."

He looked at me in surprise.

"Mac. What are you doing here?"

I gave him a shrug "I thought I'd invite you for some drinks but it looks like you already have something planned."

He offers "You could join us, we were planning the same thing..."

I shook my head. "Nah. It's okay..."

"Uh.. Mac, look... thanks for helping me clear my name..."

I pat him on the shoulder "We uncovered the truth and the right suspect is in custody. Nothing to thank me for."

He sighs "Still... thanks..."

We stood there in silence until I heard Stella's footsteps coming towards us.

"Sheldon... don't tell her I was here..."

He gives me a questioning look "Uh but..."

I never heard what he said... I just started walking away...

This day has been terribly personal to me...

Sheldon...

Peyton...

Claire...

Stella...

I don't know what to feel...

I don't know how to act...

I don't know what to say...

I don't know how to speak...

I'm confused...

I just don't know what to do...

This is just too much...

Too much for me...

TBC...
