It was midnight before Stella heard her doorbell rang and opened up so Calleigh could get inside. As she stood looking out in the hallway she tried to think of what to say.

The two women looked awkward at each other for a second before Calleigh came inside and sat down on the couch.

"Listen Calleigh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have," said Stella, standing next to the couch to give the blonde some space.

"It's OK, I overreacted I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it," she said looking up at the younger woman.

"Yeah," said Stella, there was a sense of doubt in her voice.

"Let's just forget about and have fun like yesterday OK?" Calleigh requested, looking at her.

"OK, so what do you want to do, movies, TV, go out, maybe meet a new, hot guy?" Stella said, wiggling her brows.

"Oh, no, no, no, no new guy, they always mess up things. I however must admit that I am a bit tired and it is over midnight so how about a bottle of wine and relaxing in front of the TV?" Calleigh said with a little yawn.

"If you choose the channel, I will be right back with the wine," said Stella with a giggle.

Calleigh settled a little better on the couch as she heard Stella yell, "Red or white."

"White please, do you like sappy soap?" Calleigh yelled back.

"Absolutely love it, glass or bottle?" Stella said, head into the living room.

"Glass," said Calleigh, smiling at her.

"Two glasses and a bottle of wine coming right up," she heard Stella say, followed by a cheerful giggle. That to Calleigh, even though it was over midnight meant they had another great night in front of them.

It was early morning when Stella woke up, only to notice she was not alone in her bed. Next to her lay Calleigh. She lifted the sheets to fine she was wearing panties, but nothing more, and right over her left breast was a hickey.

"So we did really…" Stella thought with a sigh, trying to remember the details of the night before. She remembered that too much wine had led to kissing, that in the end had ended up in bed.

"Calleigh," she whispered to wake the sleeping beauty next to her.

Calleigh slowly opened her eyes and looked at the half naked woman next to her. She gasped, before lifting the sheets and gasping again. Panic was shining in her emerald eyes.

She looked around the room for her belongings and was about to get up, when Stella put a and on her arm and whispered, "Easy Bulletgirl, easy."

"But we…we…we…" Calleigh was unable to finish the sentence as she pulled up the sheet to cover herself.

"We had sex, yes I know, but were it really that back," said Stella and let a hand caress Calleigh's cheek.

Calleigh let her head lean against her hand answering, "No it was not, it was not bad at all, it's just his is new to me."

"It is to me too, so what do you want to do, run or stay?" Stella challenged her with a half-smile.

Calleigh looked at Stella, then the door, then at Stella before saying, "I want to stay here with you."

"Good Bulletgirl, now come here, we can afford to be a little late," said Stella and opened her arms so Calleigh could crawl into them.


Dear Diary. I can't believe the case is already closed and I have to leave my star behind. I'm now sitting at the plane watching as New York city is fading away as tears are running down my cheek. I don't want to leave her, I really hate this. I never experienced anything as great as the one and a half week I had with her. I have never been so happy before, never. I really wished that I could stay so that it could continued. It is at least a small comfort that she will come over in a couple of weeks. I love her. I love her. I love. Oh why does it have to hurt so badly. I just want to be with her right now. I love her. I love her. I love her. Your Bulletgirl.

Dear Diary. I can't believe my darling bulletgirl is already gone. I stand her looking after her plane with wet eyes. Wishing she could stay with me forever. Wishing that she never had to go, even if I understand why she had to do just that. The last time with her has been so amazing and I have loved every moment of it. She brings so much joy to my life. I have never laughed so much. And I love watching her sleep, she's just so beautiful. I can hardly wait to see her again in two short weeks. She promised to show me everything as I always wanted to see Miami. I already know that I love her with all my heart, even after this short time. I better go back to work, maybe that way she can escape my mind for a short time so it won't hurt so badly that she is not her. I love her as I have never loved anyone before her. God I love her so much. Your Stell.


Dear Diary. Today is our ten years anniversary and tonight we are going out as Natalia has agreed to babysit for out little Ileana, she's turning three now and looks just like her mother. I can hardly wait to tell her that we'll soon be expecting another, not Greek, but still, I'll hope she'll be as excited as I am. Right now she's playing hide and seek with our little one, it's so cute. I love them both with all my heard. And my dear Star is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm so glad she decided to move here five years back so that we could be together, with that said, I would have done the same. That is how much I love her. We are going back to new your next week to get some private time, it's again needed and Ileana is overjoyed by seeing her uncle Mac. She's yet too young to get he's her father and also the one of the one I am having inside me, I found it best that way. I know she will agree.

I love her and always will keep on doing so to the day I die. Which by the way won't be for long yet. Your Bulletgirl.

As Calleigh put the diary aside she heard Ileana yell, "Mommy, play with us."

"Yes sweetheart, play with us," Stella said with a happy giggle, looking at her wife.

Calleigh got up and ran after the two, making the little girl whine with joy, before Stella held her back. Calleigh turned to look at her with worried eyes, "There isn't anything wrong is it?"

"No sweetheart, I just wanted to wish you happy anniversary," said Stella and pulled Calleigh in for a long deep kiss as their little girl wrinkled her tiny nose at them.

Both women broke free and giggled, still holding each other close. They were still happily in love with each other after all these years. As it turned out Stella had found what was missing and Calleigh had ended up not being hurt by love again. And together with little Ileana and another on the way, they had formed the family they always wanted. Life was good and it would continue to be that way even with some minor problems along the way. But as any other couple they dealt with it as best as they could and moved on. After all in the end that is all they could do.
