Three Years Later...
Chapter 1
"Mac had just come home from working a long day in the Sherrif's office. Opening his door, he was greeted by his son MaCanna who was now three, with bright blue eyes and curly chestnut hair.
"Daaaaaaaaddy, you is home. I miss'd you daddy," said MaCanna.
Picking his son up in his arms, he snuggled him.
"I missed you too son. Where is mommy?" asked his daddy.
"She's seep'n on da couch. She say'n da baby kicks her. How's da baby kicks mommy, daddy?" asked MaCanna.
"Well son. As the baby grows inside mommy she has to move around to get comfortable," said his daddy.
"You says she, Daddy. I's have'n a sister?" MaCanna asked.
Mac tried not to laugh. Poor MaCanna wasn't to happy about that.
"Don't you want a sister?" asked his daddy.
"No ways daddy. I's want a broder peeeease," said MaCanna.
"We'll see son. Let's go wake mommy," said his daddy.
Walking into the livng room, Mac seen his wife resting on her side with her eyes open.
"Hi sweetheart. How are you feeling?"
"Okay Mac. Really tired. Our daughter seems to be really restless," said Stella.
Bending down towards her tummy, he rested his head listening for movement. Not hearing anything he kissed her tummy and smiled.
"She's sleeping now love. You rest... I'll make dinner," said Mac.
As Mac headed to the kitchen, MaCanna followed him.
"Daddy... cans we have s'ghetti, pease?"
Mhm... would you like those tiny meatballs with it?" asked his daddy.
"Mm... yay. Lottsa meatballs daddy," said MaCanna with excitement.
Taking the hamburg from the freezer, Mac heard the phone ring.
"Sherrif Taylor," said Mac.
"Mac... it's Danny. We need you to come home. There's been a twenty car pile-up in New York. Sheldon is laying near death, and Jessica died two hours ago. Please Mac, we need you to come too New York. Sinclair is willing to pay anything to have you back. He knows with your help we will be able to find the shooters. We need you Mac. Your team needs you."
"Who has Donnie Jr right now?" asked Mac.
"I do. I've got him right beside me. Please Mac. Everything is hell down here. Please come home." Danny cried.
"Okay Dann, Calm down. We'll be on the next flight," said Mac.
Hanging up the phone, Mac called the Sheriff's department informing them that he would be leaving.
"North Carolina Sheriff's dept."
"Terry, it's Mac. Is Peterson still there?"
"He is Mac. Just a minute," said Terry.
"Hey Mac, what's up?" said Peterson.
"I need to go home too New York. I just recieved a call that two of my team members have been in an accident. One died and the other is critical," said Mac.
"Christ Mac. I'm so sorry. Are you going to be coming back?" asked Peterson.
"I don't know that yet, Peterson. I'll have to let you know. As it stands right now they need my help finding the shooters," said Mac.
"Okay Mac. You go. We can hold down the fort here. You've trained me to take over long ago, So you go... take as long as you need," said Peterson.
"Thanks Peterson, I know you can do it too. I'll keep you informed," said Mac.
Hanging up the phone, Mac headed back into the living room to wake Stella.
"Stella... wake up love."
"Mm... what is it Mac?" asked Stella.
"We need to book a flight home to New York. There was a twenty car pile-up caused by a stray BB's. Several fatalities. Sweetheart, Angell was killed and Sheldon is critical," said Mac.
"What? When did this happen?" asked Stella.
"I'm not sure, Danny didn't say. I'm going to have the doctor come over and make sure you have the okay to fly with the baby being close to her due date," said Mac.
"Okay Mac. Oh... I can't believe Angell is gone, Poor Don and Donnie," Stella cried.
Once Mac had the okay for Stella to fly. He packed up their bags and headed to the Airport. He knew if they decided to stay on in New York, that Peterson would handle the selling of their home and have everything sent to New York. Mac also knew, this was going to be a major adjustment for them all. For three years, they have had the peace and tranquility of North carolina, and now they were going home. Home to New York, and right back into hell."
..............................................................................................
The Airport.
MaCanna was excited about flying. He had never been on a plane. Infact he had never been to New york. Though he couldn't wait to see Donnie Jr again. They had become best buds from their visits here, even though they were miles apart. Jumping up and down, Mac tried to settle him.
"Son... you need to sit down and relax. MaCanna, please."
"I's sorry daddy. I's just so excited to see Donnie again," said MaCanna.
"Stella, how are feeling love?" asked Mac.
"I'm fine Mac. Don't worry, said Stella
Stella had been having back pain all morning. She really wished that her daughter would stop being so fidgity all the time. Why couldn't she just lay still for a while?
"Flight 107 to New York, now boarding at Gate three."
Once they were seated, Mac strapped MaCanna into his seat. Then checking on his wife, he found her sound asleep. Mac was becoming increasingly concerned. He knew she was having back pain, a sure sign of getting ready to give birth. Mac just hoped to hell his daughter was smart enough to wait till they landed.
When the plane was off the ground, Mac unbuckled MaCanna and got him some juice, along with his coloring book and crayons. Leaning over towards his wife, he felt her squeeze his fingers.
"Mac... my water just broke," said Stella.
"What? Say you're kidding Stella," said Mac.
"I can't Mac. Please... I need to lay down," said Stella.
Calling over the stewardess, Mac said...
"I need your help, my wife's water just broke. She's in labour," said Mac.
"Oh... oh my...um... excuse me everyone. By chance is there a doctor on board?" asked Stewardess.
Hearing the voice of an angel, Mac looked up and seen a beautiful tall african american lady, with the sweetest smile.
"I'm an OBGYN, is that good enough? What seems to be the problem?" asked Arianna.
"My wife's water broke. You must be an angel, cause you are just what she needs," said Mac.
"Okay... can you get me some blankets please, and my bag which is just above my seat," said Arianna.
After the stewardess's blocked off the back section of the plane, they layed Stella in the center of the aisle.
"I've informed the pilot. He called ahead to New York. There will be an ambulance waiting, when we arrive." said the stewardess.
"Stella... I need you to relax. Try not to push until I tell you, okay?" said Arianna.
Nodding that she understood. She felt the cool air as her legs were opened.
"Sorry Stella, just breathe, okay?" said Arianna.
After finding her fully dilated, she knew the baby would arrive before they landed in New York.
Daddy... why's mommy have'n da baby now?" asked MaCanna.
"Well, it seems your sister doesn't want to wait. She wants to meet us now," said his daddy.
"Ooo... is you okay mommy? you's all wet," said MaCanna.
The stewardess laughed, as did the OBGYN.
"What's... your... name...?" huffed Stella.
"Arianna Jackson. I was just moving to New York. I was offered a position at the Hospital as an OBGYN. Are you, your son and your husband, New Yorkers?"
"My husband and I were for years. Then we moved to North Carolina. Where we've now been for three years. But tragedy hit home here. So we are now moving back to New York," huffed Stella.
"Well then. Let's get this baby girl to make herself known before we land," said Arianna.
As Mac continued stroking his wife's hand, MaCanna continued talking the ears off the stewardess.
"Okay Stella, push. That's it, I can see the crown. One more good push Stella," said Arianna.
As Stella gave one more push, MaCanna heard the cries of his sister. Leaning over the blanket to peek, he...
"Eww... daddy what's dat all over my sister?" asked MaCanna.
Laughing Mac nestled his son into him, while Arianna, passed him his daughter.
"Look at her love. Look at all that beautiful curl," said Mac.
Crying at their new addition, they heard the call for landing. Returning to their seats, Mac strapped MaCanna in, along with himself. While Arianna strapped Stella and the baby across two seats. As the doors opened, people on the plane congratulated the new parents on their way out the door.
Lifting Stella onto the stretcher, Mac seen Danny and Adam.
"Danny... yelled MaCanna. We hads a baby. We hads my sister," MaCanna yelled.
"I see that, bud. Did you have a good flight?" asked Danny.
"I did. Can I see Donnie now?" asked MaCanna.
"You sure can. Adam is gonna take you to my place. Donnie is waiting for you, there," said Danny.
Jumping into Adam's arms, he hugged him.
"Mac... it's great to have you and Stella home," said Adam.
Nodding thanks, Mac headed over to the Hospital with Danny. Not only for his wife, but to see Sheldon too.
.........................................................................................................................
On their way over, Mac asked...
"How is Don holding up?"
"He's not. He's been staying at my place for the last couple days. He's determined on revenge when he finds the punks that caused this," said Danny.
"How do you know it was kids,Danny?" asked Mac.
"Three witness seen two teenage boys about fifteen years old, firing BB's at each other. I'm telling you Mac this pile-up was bad. We had cars not only flippin' over, but passangers being thrown onto the streets, who weren't buckled in, being killed by on coming cars. I tell ya Mac. Those kids did one hell of a number," said Danny.
"How do Sheldon and Angell fit into this?" asked Mac.
"They were coming back from a crime scene when Angell swirved into an on coming vehicle which flipped them over upside down, landing across the next street where they were hit again. I'm tellin' ya Mac. I've never seen such a mess. They're still cleaning the streets," said Danny.
"How bad is Sheldon?" asked Mac.
"He's critical. Massive internal injuries, including his brain. If he survives the next forty eight hours, then he should pull through," said Danny.
Pulling into the Hospital entrance, Mac caught up with his wife and child.
