A/N: Synn is property of my bestest, Jezzaboo. I sent Jezza this epic quote from ER and told her it sounded like something Synn would tell Mac and then Jezza asked me to write it. So I did. If you want to know more, go read Stage Fright. DO IT NOW. I demand you!
Dedicated: To Jezza/Synn.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"She's an amazing person with certain weaknesses and you'd be lucky to have her,
even with those weakenesses.
But you have to love her, even if she never changes anything." -ER
She walked slowly down the dark corridors of the City of New York Crime Lab. She was dragging her feet; she didn't want to say it, but she knew someone had to. Pausing outside his office, slowly she raised her hand and knocked on his door frame, "Mac?"
"What do you want Synnöve?" He glanced up from his paperwork.
"Fix it. Please." She felt five years old again. Back when she wanted nothing more than to cling to Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera and let them take away the evils of the world.
"Synn, stay out of it." He urged.
"She didn't mean it." She crossed her arms defiantly over her chest, staring down at the tiled floor, "She loves you, Mac. She's just..."
"Synn, I know."
"She's got flaws, Mac. She makes mistakes just like everybody does. Sometimes she's got more than most. But she's an amazing person even with them. And you have to love her Mac, even if her flaws never go away." Tears threatened to spill from her blue eyes, "You have to love us both, even if nothing ever changes. Cause see..." She sniffled and traced her hand over the door frame, "Us orphan girls, we come broken and sometimes we find someone to help piece us back together..."
"Sweetheart." Mac stood from his desk.
"And we hold onto them and we need them to hold onto us." His arms surrounded her and she buried her head in his chest, "Don't leave us, Mac."
"I'm not going anywhere."
