Disclaimer: I do not own GH, ABC does.

Author's Note: I thought it would be interesting to re-pair Mac and Tiffany and see what happens (due to circumstances); I created the character Alisha Ree for this chapter only so please don't steal the character!

Acknowledgments: A big thank you to shortpeanut for helping me come up with this title, otherwise this piece would had a bad title!

As Mac left the station for lunch he knew something bad was about to happen but could not describe what it was. He was already having a bad day after finding out that Felicia had remarried Frisco while in Europe.

He would soon find out as he got home to check the answering machine.

There he got a desperate message from Tiffany.

"Mac honey I need to see you please come as soon as you get this message. My address is...."

Mac scribbled down the address and made went to get a few essentials and quickly called the PCPD.

"Detective Cruz you are in charge for a few days. I have a family emergency to take care of."

"Yes sir."

Mac also left a note for Maxie telling her he was going to be out of town for a few days and to have Robin stop by.

Within a few hours, Mac makes it to Boston and finds the address without trouble. When he rings the doorbell he gets a sinking feeling something was wrong and when he saw Tiffany with her eyes red he felt a pit in is stomach.

"Oh Mac I am so glad you are here..." began Tiffany but then breaks down crying, even though her eyes are already red and puffy.

Mac feeling bad manages to get Tiffany to sit down and then holds her and then gently asks, "Tiff what is wrong?"

Tiffany continues sobbing and tries to talk, "This has got to be the worst day of my life."

"What is the matter?"

"I got a call at work and then knew something was wrong and when I came home and saw police cars parked outside and knew something bad had happened, and the one of the officers announced what I had feared, Sean's dead he was killed in the line of duty. Oh Mac this is not fair, we had our whole lives ahead of us."

Mac turns white from the news pulls Tiffany in gives her a shoulder to cry on and they are quiet.

After some time had passed, Tiffany calmed down but was still a wreck.

"You know Tiff, maybe you should take a nap or something while I make a few phone calls home I have to let them know."

"You are not leaving are you?"

"No, no I will be right here if you need me...," said Mac right as sound of door knock.

"I will get it."

When Mac opened and saw Lucas Jones.

"Hi Mac, I had to come see Aunt Tiffany, I had a feeling something was not right."

"Come in Lucas, good thing you came, your aunt is an emotional wreck. Your Uncle Sean is dead. He was killed earlier today."

"Oh no that is horrible," exclaimed Lucas.

"Why don't you and sit with her and some make sure she gets a nap or something while I make a few phone calls to Port Charles."

"Okay."

As Lucas stayed with Tiffany, Mac made his way outside and made a few calls to give the distressing news.

Mac then calls Robin, Bobbie, and Tony and tells them of the news knowing how they would react.

Mac calling GH and Audrey picks up.

"This the nurse's station how may I help you today?"

"Audrey?"

"Oh hello Mac, I am filling for Epiphany today. How are you?"

"Not too good."

"Why what happened?"

"Um I am in Boston right now and um I am not sure how to put this, but..."

"But what?"

"Sean was killed in the line of duty today. I am with Tiffany right now and I managed to get her to get some rest for now, and Lucas is with her."

"Oh Mac that is terrible news, oh I feel bad for Tiffany, could you give her my condolences?"

"Yes I will, uh are Robin, Bobbie, and Tony there right now?"

"Yeah as a matter of fact all three are. I will let you talk to Robin."

Audrey looking solemnly at Robin as she handed her the phone and said. "Robin it's your Uncle Mac."

"Thank you Audrey. Hi Uncle Mac."

"Robin, there is something I need to tell you and would like you to tell Bobbie and Tony for me."

"Ok shoot," said Robin as she motioned the two other over.

"I am afraid I have some bad news."

"I don't the sound of that."

"Uncle Sean is dead."

"What? "

"He was killed in the line of duty earlier today. I am in Boston right now with Tiffany and she is not doing all that great now. Lucas is here too."

"Oh that is horrible, maybe I should come over and be with her as well."

"I think you should just talk to Maxie first ok?"

"Yeah sure."

"Listen I have to go but I will call the house later and give you the address later."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Robin lost it and broke down.

"Robin what's wrong?"

Robin by this time is crying hard, "Uncle Sean is dead."

"Oh no, poor Tiffany," said Bobbie.

"I don't know what to say."

"So I am guessing Mac is with Tiffany right now."

"Yeah he is. I guess he was the first person she called. Lucas is with her as well. I am going to take some time off so I can be with her."

"Yeah we will probably come within a few days as well."

Robin then turned to and said, "Audrey, I..."

"... would like a few days off so can go to Boston, no problem I will let

Epiphany know. As for you Bobbie and Tony I am thinking you would like to go to

Boston too."

Both Bobbie and Tony answered at the same time, "Yes."

"Okay I will work something out and you guys can go as soon as tomorrow if

you'd like."

All three responded, "Thank you Audrey."

Meanwhile back in Boston, Mac told her what happened and then it did not take long for Tiffany to realize LeAnna doesn't know about the devastating news.

"Oh no, I still need to tell my daughter. She due home any minute now from softball practice."

Lucas said, "Don't worry Mac and I will be here for the both of you."

Right then LeAnna walks in the door in a good mood without realizing her life was about to come a crashing halt. LeAnna at fifteen was already the star softball pitcher.

"Hi sweetie, how was practice today?"

"It was great we are so pumped for the game this weekend. I cannot wait for you and dad to come to the game."

Then LeAnna notices that something is not right.

"Uh mom I don't mean to be rude but what is going on?"

"That is what I need to talk to you about, but first you remember Uncle Mac right?"

"Hi Uncle Mac."

"Hi LeAnna."

"Sweetie, there is something I need to tell you. There is no easy to say this but..."

"But what...," asked LeAnna.

"Honey your father...your father's dead."

It felt like a ton of bricks had fallen on LeAnna.

"No, no," said LeAnna breaking down, "This cannot be happening."

LeAnna nearly collapses to ground but Lucas caught her just in time and held her as she sobbed.

Later that night back in Port Charles, Robin had to explain to Maxie what has occurred

"Maxie, you are probably wondering where Uncle Mac is."

"Yeah I was just about to ask."

"Well he is in Boston right now, because he is with Aunt Tiffany. You probably don't remember her too well but Uncle Sean who is also your godfather, well he is dead and Aunt Tiffany and her daughter need an anchor of support. Lucas is there as well."

"Oh that is horrible. Losing Georgie was bad enough and now this?"

"Yeah I know I am going to be going to Boston along with Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Tony. Now you can come with us if you want to."

"Of course I am coming. I feel like I need to be there for her as well."

Right then Robin got a call from Patrick.

"Hey Robin I heard from Audrey what happened. I am sorry to hear about your loss. Could you please give my condolences to your aunt?"

"Thanks Patrick, yeah sure I will. Maxie and I are heading to Boston tomorrow along with Bobbie and Tony."

"Okay if there is anything I can do let me know."

"Thanks."

Not much later, Mac called.

"I will get it," said Maxie, "Hi Dad, its Maxie. I heard what happened."

"Robin told you right?"

"Yeah, I told her I am coming too. I feel like I need to be there."

"That is nice of you Maxie, I am sure Aunt Tiffany would very much appreciate all the support she can get."

"Yeah. Robin wants to talk to you."

"Hi Uncle Mac, how is Aunt Tiffany holding up?"

"Well she is fine for right now. Her daughter is a wreck but holding up as best she can too."

"Oh the poor thing."

Robin then got the address.

"Okay, Maxie, Bobbie, Tony, and I are going in Boston tomorrow. Audrey said she would take care of our schedules and tell Epiphany. Please give Aunt Tiffany a big hug for me and that Patrick gives his condolences."

"Ok I will. See you tomorrow."

"Robin before we go tomorrow there are a few calls I need to make."

"Okay go ahead. I am heading upstairs to get some sleep."

Maxie knew she had to call her boss at the Metro Court Boutique to let her know what happened.

"Hello Alisha Ree speaking."

"Hi Ms. Ree, this is Maxie Jones speaking. I need to tell you that I will be out of town for a few days starting tomorrow."

"Is everything okay?"

"Um well my godfather that I was not able to get to know died and my cousin and I along with a few friends want to be there for my aunt and her daughter."

"Ok, thank you for letting me know and take however long you need. And please give them my condolences."

"Okay I will. Thank you for understanding. Good night."

"Good night Maxie."

Maxie called to let him know.

"Hi Maximista."

"Hi Spinelli, um I just calling to let you know that I will be out of town for a few days."

"Is anything the matter?"

"Yeah there is."

Maxie repeated what she said to Alisha.

"Oh I am so sorry to hear such sad news. Please give them my deepest condolences."

"I will Spinelli thank you. I will see you when I get back."

Without getting much sleep the night before, Robin, Maxie, Bobbie, and Tony left for Boston first thing that morning.
