A/N I do not own George Strait or I Cross My Heart. Even though I would love to. Please don't sue I's gots no moneys. Hehehe LOL OMG WTF ROFL yet. Jess never died and Danny was paralyzed in a shoot out somewhere else. At the end with the speeches are what I think could be if Mac and Stella were married. Challenges tell me what line is mentioned in this chapter???
Mac and Stella were holding hands and talking about life but not work. That was one of their rules about when they were together they would not talk about work. They were walking around New York City holding hands; they were going to some jewelry stores to look at some wedding rings.
Fast forward to that next spring
We were lookin for a preacher pickin out rings
family comin in and friends comin out
to that little white church on the outskirts of town
me and that tux fightin butterflies
They found a nice church on the outskirts of where they both lived and one of their long time friends Dr. Sid Hammerback walked her down the aisle while Danny and Don stood as his best men. Mac was fidgeting with his tucks while his mom fought tears of joy that her son was getting remarried. When the preacher said that he could kiss his bride Mac lifted her veil and said "It doesn't get better than this" while Danny and Don called some cat calls.
tears of joy in my mama's eyes
her daddy walkin her down that aisle
I lifted that veil and I saw that smile
and I said
to her
it doesn't get better than this
no it doesn't get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
just when I start thinkin it's as good as it can get
this crazy life does somethin
just to let me know
I haven't seen anything yet
At the party they were dancing as husband and wife for the first time and as he held her he said "No it can't get much better than this." Stella lifted up her head from it place on his shoulder and smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips. When the song by George Strait "I Cross My Heart" was done they sat down and Danny stood up.
"Oh. No." Mac said when he saw that.
"Ok. Time for the Best Man speeches." Danny said with an evil grin on his face.
"We just lost one CSI." Mac said to Stella as everyone laughed.
"I meet Mac nearly 5 years ago as a rookie cop. He needed a new CSI and I needed a better job. I had just shattered my wrist as a Minor Baseball player. I had graduated from the academy at the top of my class. I was a smart ass rookie who thought he knew it all and Mac took me under his wing and proceeded to crush me and kick my ass. Here is to Mac and Stella you two finally got your heads out of your ass. Mac was there to help Lindsay kick my ass when I was injured in a shoot out and was paralyzed from the waist down and I was being a pain in the ass." Every one cheered as Mac and Stella kissed.
Don stood up and Stella said "We are gonna need a whole new team."
"I meet Mac when we both were in the academy. He was no nonsense Marine and I was a smart ass and we both bunked together there. Then he needed a homicide cop on his team. We both have had our shares of difficulties but he both have become friends over the year. Mac, Stella congrats on your marriage it has only taken you 15 years to figure it out." Don said with a laugh.
"Yep we have lost ourselves a homicide cop." Mac said.
Next Lindsay stood up. "I meet Stella when I moved from Bozeman, Montana and it was my first day on the job. I had, had a bad day and she took me under her wing and started calling me 'Kid' when I had been called out back to Bozeman she was there to help me get though tell I had to leave for Montana. She was there to help me before Danny was at the hospital when her god daughter was born. She is one of my best friends and sister. Congrats Mac and Stella. May your lives be filled with happiness. Mac this is coming from Stella's sister not one of your workers. You hurt her I WILL KILL YOU. I know how to hide a body where they will never find it."
Lastly Jess stood up. "What can I say about my sister Stella? She is my best friend we have had a lot of move nights. Nights where we just ate ice cream. Also nights where we just held each other after a broken heart. A lot of shopping sprees with our boyfriend's money. We had a saying that I'm gonna share with you we would say 'έχετε πάντα τη δύναμη που έχετε πάντα τα κότσια. You always have the strength you always have the guts. Inside of you.' She was there to help me when a boyfriend would break up with me and I would help her when a boyfriend would break up with her. Congrats Mac and Stella and May I say finally. "
Everyone was laughing while they were doing the speeches.
Danny stood up and started chanting "Kiss, kiss, kiss." Every started chanting along with him. Mac and Stella stood up and Mac looked in to her eyes and leaned down and gave her a soft but passionate filled kiss giving her a glimpse of what was to come later on tonight away from prying eyes.
