Amber and Emily where playing cards when there was a knock on the door, they both looked up but before they could react Mac walked quickly out of the kitchen and made his way over to the door as he said "coming!". They watched as Mac opened the door and a women and man greeted him, they walked into the house and Amber and Emily saw that the women was holding a baby, around a year old. They recognised the women from earlier but didn't know who the man was but had seen him in a few pictures, Mac introduced them as Lindsay, as they knew, Danny and Lucy, the one year old. Lindsay smiled "It's nice to meet you both again, did you have a good time at the lab?" Amber and Emily both nodded "yeah, dad gave us a tour of the lab, it was amazing"
Danny's eyes widened and Lindsay just smirked, she knew from the moment she saw Amber that Mac and Stella where her parents. Danny looked from Amber to Mac and back at Amber then back at Mac "da...da...dad?" Danny spluttered and Mac smiled "yes Danny, Amber is my daughter, now I need to finish dinner will you keep them company?" Mac asked, Danny only just nodded as he still processed the Mac being a dad news. Lindsay laughed at him and went to sit down on the sofa opposite Amber, a few moments later Danny joined her and they all began to talk, well Danny and Lindsay questioned as Amber answered.
A few moments later there was a knock on the door again, Danny answered, stood behind the door was Flack, Danny let him in and told him where Lindsay was, just as Danny was about to shut the door a voice spoke up "wait!" Danny opened the door again and saw Hawkes and Adam running up the driveway. Danny greeted them with a handshake and let them in, they all went into the living room and met Amber and Emily, Danny also mentioned that Amber was Mac's daughter which caused the two of the three new comers' jaws to drop, Flack already knew about Amber, he also knew who her mother was which the other's did not know unless they had looked closely at Ambers eyes. Adam and Hawkes began now began to ask questions which made Lindsay and Danny chuckle and Amber to answer the questions again.
As Amber was answering a question that Hawkes had asked another knock on the door was heard, this time Lindsay answered to find Sid at the door, she smiled and greeted him and let him in then led him to the others. Lindsay filled Sid in on the new information so that he was up to date on the situation, Lindsay introduced Sid to Amber and Emily then sat down in her seat while Sid sat down next to Adam and listened as Hawkes and Adam continued to ask questions with Amber answering them. As everyone arrived Mac and Stella continued to cook dinner, Mac hadn't yet told them about Stella but they were planning on telling them after dinner.
After the questions was answered they all began to play cards, just before the first game was finished Stella came out from the kitchen "dinner's ready" this made the game players jump, Amber and Emily quickly ran towards the kitchen passing Stella, she looked back smiling then turned her body and followed them heading to the table as the others followed a little shocked at who they had just seen as they didn't even know she was there. Once everyone was sat down and dinner was served Lindsay asked "how long have you been here Stella?" Stella smiled and replied "a while" she wasn't giving anything away until after dinner.
It was silent for a few minutes until Flack asked about the case that the detectives was working on, this caused some chatter between the adults for the rest of dinner. Once dinner was eaten the guys and girls, apart from Stella and Lindsay, went back into the living room, while Stella and Lindsay washed the dishes. "So i'm waiting?" Lindsay asked with a slight smirk on her face, Stella smiled knowing what Lindsay was talking about but pretended not to "for what?"
" You know what Stella Bonasera...spill" Lindsay chuckled, Stella chuckled and finished washing the dishes, she went to sit down, while Lindsay continued to dry the dishes, and began to tell her the story of the night Amber was conceived, the pregnancy and giving her up. Lindsay had finished the dishes and had sat on the chair next to Stella, once Stella had finished her story Lindsay smiled "I knew it, the moment I saw her I knew she was yours and Mac's. What's gunna happen now? Is she going to live with you or Mac?"
Stella thought for a minute and decided to tell Lindsay about her and Mac "well she's going to live with us both, this is my home too Lindsay. Me and Mac...well let's just say we're together" Lindsay squealed and threw herself at Stella hugging her "oh my god Stella that's great news, it's about time too, I always knew you'd get together" Lindsay grinned as she released Stella and sat back down. Stella chuckled "shhhh nobody else knows apart from Sinclair, Mac's planning on telling the others later." Lindsay grinned and grabbed Stella's arm and pulled her into the living room where the others were playing a game of wink murder.
Stella didn't realise what they were playing and saw Amber falling to the floor "Amber!" Stella yelled and ran over to her, everyone stood there shocked as Mac ran over to Stella and held her shoulder "Stella she's okay, we're playing wink murder" Stella looked up at Mac then down at Amber as she lifted herself from the floor "mom what's wrong?" Stella shook her head and chuckled with tears in her eyes "nothing it's okay I just thought that you fell over"
Amber smiled and crawled to sit on Stella's knees and hugged her, Stella hugged her back and looked up at Mac "sorry I ruined your game" Mac smiled and bent down next to Stella and whispered in her ear "I think Amber just gave your identity away" he chuckled and nodded his head towards Adam, Flack, Sid and Danny. Stella looked over and laughed, Amber looked at Stella "sorry, I didn't mean to" Stella looked at Amber and smiled "its okay me and your dad was gunna tell them anyway, you got there before us" Stella grinned and Amber grinned back.
Amber jumped from Stella's knee and ran over to Emily who was playing with Lucy. Mac took hold of Stella's hand and helped her up then wrapped his arm around her waist and began to speak "well looks like the first cat is out the bag" Stella, Flack, Danny and Lindsay chuckled, while Adam repeated "first?"
Stella and Mac chuckled "the first, the second is me and Stella..." they looked at each other and Stella continued "we've been together for two years" they grinned at each other and turned back to the others. This time Danny and Flack's face was in total surprise as well as Adam's and Sid's. Lindsay giggled and ran over giving Stella another hug then hugging Mac. One by one the others walked over and gave Stella a hug and shook Mac's hand congratulating them on their relationship and Amber.
Once the team had gone, an hour after dinner, Mac and Stella took Amber and Emily back to the house where they lived to grab some of the essential stuff for the night until tomorrow when they could go back and get more stuff. Mac pulled up outside of the house and they all looked at it, it looked old and very unstable, the garden was cluttered with rubbish which made Stella and Mac wonder what inside looked like.
They all got out of the car and Amber and Emily walked up to the house, Mac and Stella followed closely behind, Amber opened the door and walked in, as soon as she entered the house a women's voice began to boom throughout the house getting closer until she come into view "Amber! Emily! that better be you!" An old looking women came round the corner, she held her hand up at Amber and Emily, like she was going to hit them as she spoke and both girls hutched together "your gunna regret going out without my permission" the old women spat at them and began to bring her hand down on Amber.
Before she could hit her Stella jumped in the way and grabbed the women's arm "HEY! Don't you dare hit my daughter!" the women's eyes widened and she struggled to get free from Stella's grip. Stella let her go and went over to Amber and Emily, she took their hands and led them past the women, the woman gave Stella a dirty look and was about to follow them when Mac touched her
shoulder and spoke "Mrs. I'd like to speak to you please." The women turned around and gave Mac the same look as she did Stella then folded her arms across her chest and waited for Mac to speak "Could you tell me your name please?"
The women looked at him with a raised eyebrow as if she wasn't going to answer but she did "Margaret Pipit, what's this about? Why is Amber's mother here? If she thinks that she's taking her away from me..." she stopped mid sentence as Mac put his hand up to silence her and spoke himself "Mrs Pipit i'm Detective Taylor. I am also Amber's dad and we will be taking both Amber and Emily with us. If you refuse we will arrest you for neglect and child abuse, it's up to you what would you like to do?"
Margaret stood there her eyes narrowed at Mac for a few seconds, thinking about her options, her eyes softened slightly and she sighed dropping her arms at her side and flicking her arm up in the air as she turned and walked away replying to Mac "fine take them, but you'll soon find out what horrible children they are" Mac shook his head knowing full well why the kids where horrible to her, he would have been the same if he lived here, but he knew that they wouldn't behave like that when they lived with him and Stella.
Mac heard the girls coming downstairs and went into the living room where Margaret was sat on the sofa smoking "we'll be back tomorrow for the rest of their stuff" he said and heard her grunt as he walked towards the stairs to meet the girls. He looked up and saw them coming downstairs and smiled up at them, he held his hand out for their bags and they smiled and gave him their bags then ran outside to the car grinning. Mac chuckled and waited for Stella to reach the last step before he took her hand and gave it a squeeze then led her outside to the car. He slung Amber and Emily's back packs in the trunk then got into the car and drove home.
Night time had fallen on New York and the street was dark, except for some street lamps and a house that had their living room lights on. When they arrived home Mac and Stella helped Emily and Amber sort their clothes out and Mac told them what was going to happen tomorrow. Amber and Emily were excited and had sat downstairs for a few hours watching TV with Mac and Stella until they were tired and wanted to go to sleep. Amber wanted Mac to tuck them in and he happily complied, he had stayed up there for a few more minutes as Emily wanted a bed time story.
Once Emily had fallen asleep Mac kissed them each on the forehead then made his way back downstairs, he sat on the sofa next to Stella and she cuddled up to him, wrapping her arm around his waist and leaning her head on his shoulder. Mac kissed her hair and she smiled "what took you so long?" Stella asked, Mac smiled and replied "Emily wanted me to tell her a bed time story" Stella looked up at him "really? Wow wish I could have been there to hear the story" Stella teased and chuckled, Mac chuckled and touched Stella's side. Stella jumped up and squealed slightly which made Mac chuckle even more, Stella hit him on the arm "don't do that you know i'm ticklish" she narrowed her eyes playfully at him and pouted.
He laughed and grabbed her head and kissed the pout from her lips, he ran his hands through her hair lovingly as he teased her lips with his tongue. Stella moaned softly against his lips as she let his tongue do a slow dance with hers, he pushed her back slowly so that she was lying down on the sofa and leaned over her as he continued to kiss her lips until she was fully laid down then kissed his way down to her neck. Stella moved her head to give him better access to her neck and moaned softly again as she held his head in one of her hands and ran her other hand down his back and under his top.
Mac grabbed her hand and held it in place as he looked at her, searching her eyes, Stella looked up at him and smiled "bedroom?" she asked. Mac smiled and sat up, Stella following him, she looked at him as he made no effort to stand up, Mac smiled at her "I want to talk to you first, about earlier" Stella looked at him confused so he carried on "when we came home from the lab" Stella realised what he was talking about and shuffled closer to him, she placed her hand on his cheek and smiled at him as she spoke "a baby would be great, but not yet, let's get Amber settled in and find Emily's parents first then we can start trying for a baby yeah?" she stroked his cheek while she spoke.
He took her hand in his and kissed her knuckles before he answered her "sounds good to me. It doesn't stop us from practicing though" he said in his bedroom voice which sent shivers down Stella's spine as she grinned at him. She stood up and led him upstairs to their bedroom, never letting go of his hand.
Emily woke up early in the morning and looked over at Amber who was still asleep, Emily nudged Amber gently trying to wake her up "Amber, Amber wake up"
Amber groaned "what?"
Emily sat up "i'm hungry"
Amber groaned again and turned over "go get something to eat then"
Emily moved and hit Amber on the side, Amber groaned and sat up "alright alright come on" Amber shoved the quilt from her body and got up and began to make her way downstairs with Emily following her. "Right what would you like?" Amber said as she got into the kitchen, Emily followed and sat on a chair as she decided "erm, sausage, beans, bacon, toast and mushrooms" Amber searched the cupboards for the ingredients to make Emily her breakfast while Emily sat at the table fiddling with her fingers.
Once all the ingredients where together and prepared Amber began to cook them and talked at the same time "did you hear anything last night?"
Emily stopped fiddling with her fingers and looked up at Amber "hear what?" Emily asked.
"Noises" Amber replied, Emily was a little confused as to what Amber was talking about "what noises?"
Amber rolled her eyes, which Emily did not see "you know...noises" Amber emphasised the word noises and Emily looked disgusted "ewww nooooo, tell me you didn't?" Amber chuckled at Emily's reply "actually I think I did... faintly" Amber replied and heard Emily gag "that's nasty i'm so glad I didn't hear them. Did you really hear them have...you know?" Emily asked not really believing her sister. Amber laughed and nodded her head causing another ewww and a giggle from Emily.
Amber continued to cook and served it to Emily once it was fully cooked. Emily began to eat and spoke after she had eaten a few mouth full's "are you going to tell them?" Emily asked and took another mouth full as Amber replied "and say what? Oh hey mom, dad I heard you having sex last night can you be quieter next time" they both burst out laughing and Amber pinched a piece of toast from Emily's plate. Emily looked up shocked "heyyyy!" Amber laughed as she took a bite "chill, I deserve it after cooking all that for you"
Emily stuck her tongue out at her and giggled and continued to eat her breakfast. Amber chuckled as she ate the piece of toast "shall we make them breakfast?" Amber asked when she had finished her slice of toast, Emily nodded as she put her fork down and swallowed the last bit of her breakfast "yeah, but i can't cook" Emily looked at Amber sadly. Amber stood up and took Emily's plate to the sink and dropped it into the bowl as she replied "it's ok i'm sure you can do the toast and get the plates and stuff yeah?" Emily nodded and grinned as she grabbed two plates from the cupboard and the knives and forks from the draw while Amber gathered all the ingredients and began to prepare them for cooking again.
Emily grabbed the bread and put four slices of toast into the toaster then grabbed a butter knife and the butter and stood waiting until Amber told her to put the toast on. Amber put on the bacon, and beans for cooking and then began to chop some mushrooms up, she turned her head to Emily "Emz can you come watch the beans and bacon for me please?" Emily walked over and stirred the beans every once in a while so that they didn't stick to the pan and made sure that the bacon didn't burn. She looked over at Amber who had just began to cook the mushrooms, Amber looked back and they smiled at each other then continued to cook breakfast for Mac and Stella.
With breakfast finished they made their way up the stairs to Mac and Stella's room, as they neared the door they heard giggling and gave each other a look. Emily continued to walk towards the door and knocked on the door "aunty Stella, uncle Mac can we come in?" they heard some shuffling then the door opened "hey, oh wow you made us breakfast?" Stella smiled as she saw the trays and let Amber and Emily in "you didn't have to do that" Amber smiled and walked in behind Emily and replied "we know but we wanted to do something nice for you" Amber smiled again and Stella made her way back into bed as Emily passed her tray to Mac then sat on the bed "thank you Emily, thank you Amber, this looks delicious" Mac said.
Amber passed her tray to Stella once Stella was sat in bed again then sat on the bed at her feet, Stella smiled and thanked Amber. Mac and Stella began to eat their breakfast when they was asked a question "did you have a good night last night?" Emily asked which caused Mac and Stella to look at each other, Amber's eyes widened and she hit her sister causing a wine from Emily "owww what was that for?"
"You know what it was for" Amber replied and hit Emily again. "Hey now now stop it both of you, mind telling us what's going on?" Mac said, Emily opened her mouth to speak but Amber spoke before she could get the chance "nothing, it's just Emily acting stupid that's all"
Emily glared at Amber "don't call me stupid, i'm not stupid"
Stella and Mac looked at each other then looked back at the girls "of course you're not, Amber stop calling your sister stupid, it's not nice" Stella said. Amber looked down at her lap "sorry mom" she looked up at Stella, Stella raised her eyebrow and Amber looked over at Emily "sorry Emily"
Emily smiled a little "it's okay i'm sorry too"
Amber smiled and leaned over and hugged Emily. Emily hugged her back then sat back pulling her legs under herself and began to twiddle her fingers together, she still felt bad for nearly spilling Amber's secret. Stella put her tray down and placed her hand on Emily's "Emily? What's wrong?"
Emily jumped at the contact as she wasn't expecting it and looked up at Amber then at Stella and smiled slightly and shook her head "nothing"
Stella looked at Amber "she feels bad for nearly telling you my secret" Stella looked at Emily and rubbed her shoulder in comfort then looked at Amber "what's your secret?" Stella asked and Amber looked down embarrassed "i can't tell you"
"why not?" Stella asked then looked back as she felt a hand on her shoulder, Mac smiled at Stella and squeezed her shoulder then got out of bed and went to sit next to Amber and spoke softly "you don't have to tell us if you don't want to but you know you can tell us anything right?" Amber looked up at Mac and smiled a little and nodded, she was silent for a few seconds more until she spoke again "i heard you and mom"
Mac looked a little confused for a second before he realised what Amber meant, he looked up at Stella shocked, her eyes reflecting the same, then placed his arm around Amber "Amber we're sorry, we didn't mean for you to hear us..." Amber looked up at Mac then at Stella then back at Mac and smiled slightly "it's okay there's no need to be sorry, it's only natural plus i know all about it anyway" Amber chuckled a little. Stella and Mac smiled a little then there was silence until Mac spoke "so what do you girls want to do today?" Emily and Amber shrugged "we don't go anywhere, apart from school" Emily said and Stella and Mac shared a pained look before Mac turned back to Amber and Emily "okay then why don't we go get the rest of your stuff from your old house then go to the zoo?" Emily and Amber looked up at Mac excitedly then ran off to their room to get ready which made Mac and Stella laugh.
Once everybody was ready and in the car Mac drove to Amber and Emily's old house to get the rest of their stuff, they dropped it all off at their new house then Mac drove to the zoo.
It had been a long day for Amber and Emily and as Mac drove home from the zoo they had fallen asleep in the back seat, Emily's head resting on Amber's shoulder and Amber's head resting on Emily's head. Mac looked in the mirror and smiled at them then whispered "hey, their asleep"
Stella turned her head round and smiled at the two sleeping forms then looked back at Mac "i'm not surprised, they've had a hectic day" they chuckled and it was silent for the rest of the ride home. As Mac was pulling into the drive Amber started to wake up, she moved her shoulder which caused Emily to wake up also, Mac noticed the movement as he stopped the car and smiled "well well look who's awake" he chuckled and Amber and Emily smiled as they climbed out of the car.
"Hey" Mac shouted as he climbed out the car, Amber and Emily turned around and Mac threw his house keys towards them which Amber catched then went to unlock the door. Stella walked towards the front door, Mac walking beside her with his hand resting on the crook of her back, leading her into the house. Once inside the house Amber and Emily went straight to bed while Mac and Stella sat on the sofa, snuggled together watching a film on the TV.
Half way through the film that they was watching Mac had noticed that Stella had fallen asleep so he decided to take her to bed, he switched the TV off and gently moved so that he could pick Stella up in his arms without waking her. Stella stirred a little as Mac stood up but then fell back to sleep straight away, her head resting on Mac's shoulder.
Once in the bedroom Mac gently laid her down on the bed and covered her up with the quilt before he undressed and got in beside her, sleep finding him quickly as he dreamed of his daughter, his girlfriend and their future.
