Hey!!! This story is a sequel to my first story 'What will become?' and of courese it includes a lot of Smacked Moments.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but I wish I would. I don't own CSI:NY and it's characters I just borrowed them! :)

I rated this T to be on the safe side.

Warning!!! This story could be going to be quite long but I don't know. I'm still working on it and it can take quite long till I publish the next chapters, because my holidays will be over soon and then I have to go to school again and then my birthday's arriving soon and that's why I probably haven't much time to write on my story. I hope you can understand that. And now: Enjoy my story! I hope you like it!!!

Stella's POV:

Three years… Three years ago was the day when Mac Taylor, my boss and best friend, kissed me in front of my apartment door. After he had done it I was standing out there, confused, happy and couldn't believe that all of this had happened.

And now three years later I still know that it was the best thing he could have done. Since then we were a happy couple. One day Lindsay told me that she never had seen me that happy and she never had seen us that happy together.

"Every time one of you enters the room where the other one stays you're two are smiling. And every time you two meet here or at a crime scene you are smiling at each other. If I look at my relationship I can honestly say that it's not the same with Danny and me as with you two. We our days when we're not smiling at each other…" She had said.

"I know Linds. But trust me we have those days, too." I had told her.

Today was out third anniversary and I wondered whether Mac had planned something for that evening. It was still early in the morning when I got up. It was around 5 am and I got up to make coffee and a little breakfast for me and my lovely boyfriend. I still had my own apartment where I was staying sometimes when I wanted to be alone for a while but this didn't happen very often. He didn't mind that I wanted to keep my apartment for a while since we're not married. Just in case.

I couldn't sleep that night and I was still tired as I got up and went to the kitchen. I made coffee and a little breakfast for the two of us, knowing he would get up soon. I decorated the table in the kitchen with a single red rose which I brought yesterday and set everything for breakfast on the table and started waiting for him with a cup of steaming coffee in front of me.

Mac's POV:

I woke up to the sound of a ringing alarm clock on my nightstand. I opened my eyes and turned it off and then I rolled on my back and actually wanted to wake my girlfriend but as I looked at the side of the bed where she normally was sleeping I found it empty. I sighted, got up and went to the bathroom to get ready for work. Ten minutes later I entered the kitchen to see a lovely decorated table with a single red rose in a flower vase made of glass and a small breakfast. And of course I found Stella sitting at the table a cup of coffee in front of her. She smiled as she saw me entering the kitchen. I was surprised but I had something like that in my mind as woke up and found her bedside empty. I smiled at her and went over to her and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Good morning, princess." I said.

"Good morning. Had a good night?" She asked me as she handed a cup of coffee to me. I sat down on the opposite side of the table. It was only a small table for a fast breakfast in the morning or a dinner when I was living alone. Normally we had dinner in the living room where I had a little dinette to have dinner with my lovely girlfriend or with some friends. But when we both had to go to work we had breakfast in the kitchen.

"Yeah. It was quite relaxing. How about you? You look tired, hon."

"Couldn't sleep that good tonight. But the advantage: We have a nice breakfast together." She told me with a smile. I smiled back.

"That's right, thank you and… since this is the third year of us being, and I quote this from Danny, 'the happiest couple of the lab', happy anniversary."

"Thank you and happy anniversary." She said still smiling.

"Do you have any plans for tonight?"

"No, actually I wanted to spend that evening with you."

"How about having a nice dinner at a nice restaurant?"

"Sounds very good." She said and nodded. "But I think I have to go home first and pick up a nice dress then."

"I can take you there after our shift and then I'll pick you up at 7." I offered.

"Okay." Stella agreed and we finished our breakfast and left the apartment for work.
