My husband loves to tell our kids stories manly about how we met and our life together. My name is Stella Bonasera-Taylor. My husband's name is Mac Taylor. We have been married for 10 years, but have known each other for over 15 years. I knew his first wife Clair Conrad-Taylor she died in 9/11 a day that hunts my husband. Today my husband is telling our kids about when we went to Greece. He still calls me his Greecen Princess.

"Dad why did you and momma go to Greece?" Alcander Boyed Taylor asked his dad. His sister Amara Conrad Taylor was on their fathers lap listing intently.

"We went to Greece when Lucy was only 3 months old. Your mom had been working a case I had told her not to work. She found some stuff out about her mentor/teacher Professor P. She went as far as handing in her badge. I went to her apartment where she had moved to after her apartment had caught on fire. I was the only one who had a key to her place I was the only one who knew where she lived, I wanted to talk to her. I saw that she had packed a bag and was gone so I went to Greece. I was talking to a lady and asking if she had seen Stella and she told me that someone matching her description was behind me and I saw the most beautiful women in front of me."

"What was her teacher doing?" Amara asked while she was playing with his necklace that I had given him on our one year anniversary. It had the Marine Corps emblem and on the back it had his badge number on it. It had a Greek cord holding it together.

"Her teacher was smuggling artifacts into the US. Your momma saw that one of the pictures that her teacher gave her was stolen. "

"Did you arrest him?" Alc asked him.

"No. by the time we found him we were in a shoot out and he was shot and killed. The bullet was meant for your momma but he turned her around and he was shot instead. He was trying to steal more artifacts. Stella took them and buried them again so they can be re found and given to their government."

"What did you and momma do after that." Amara asked

"Well we went back to the hotel and your momma was really sad because her teacher died in her arms. I got myself a room right down the hall from her and got cleaned up. Your momma knocked on my door and we went out dancing. That is when we decided to try and see what happens with our relationship."

"Why did you guys decided then?" Our son asked.

"Well your momma knew my first wife, and thought that because we knew each other so well that it might not work out. But when we danced we knew that we loved each other a lot. We went back to the hotel and talked about it. She had changed into a pair of sweets and a t-shirt I had been looking for. We decided that we were gonna take it day by day. We talked about how it could affect the lab. I was able to protect Danny and Lindsay but I couldn't protect us. We talked about how Reed and how he might take this. We stayed there for another two days before we went back. We told our bosses first then we took the team out for dinner. Danny and Lindsay brought Lucy and I held her most of the night. We told the team about us and about what happened."

"What happened after that" Alc asked. Amara was all ready asleep and he was getting there.

"We got married a year later. You came about a year after that."

"Wow." He said.

"Yeah. And know it's time for bed for you. It's a school night. Your momma and I have work in the morning."

"Ok. I love you daddy."

"I love you too."

Stella comes in and helps him in bed. She kisses him good night and by the time she leaves his room he is asleep. Mac puts Amara to bed kisses her good night and meets his wife in their room. They kiss good night cuddle up to each other and go to sleep.
