Chapter Four
Kayla was still in ICU, as Mac stayed by her bedside while she slept as they were talking baby names, for their unborn baby and they had chosen one for each, and they still didn't know what they were having.
Mac thought back to the day, that he met Kayla and how they slowly fell for each other, and it made Mac smile as he mulled over the memories of their first meeting, he knew that she was everything to him.
Kayla had to stay in hospital for another few days until the doctors were ready to let her go home, but Mac asked Kayla " How would you like to recover in Chicago?".
Mac watched as Kayla replied " That's a good idea sweetie.", as Mac smiled that Kayla had agreed to recover in Chicago for a while along with Mac.
Kayla was allowed out of hospital that Friday afternoon, as they had to get their stuff ready and head to Chicago to spend time together and so Kayla could recover.
Once in Chicago, Mac and Kayla stay in an apartment, when Kayla feels their baby kicking again which she smiled at then tells Mac, who places his hand on her bump to feel the kicks.
Mac smiled at upon feeling his unborn baby kicking, as he knew that he was so excited to be getting the chance to be a father and he was going to a hands on dad.
Kayla knew that since she and Mac had gotten together, her life had changed for the better and she owed that to Mac who has been very protective towards her, as Kayla loved that.
As the team worked the case back in New York, Mac just hoped that neither he or Kayla would hear from Marcia again as he worried for the safety of Kayla and their unborn baby.
Kayla knew that Mac was aware of what Marica had done and it made him protective of her and with that Kayla knew that Mac was the one she'd always love.
Mac didn't think that he'd ever find love again after losing Claire, but alas Mac was unaware that Claire had brought Kayla to him, as Claire wanted Mac to be happy.
Kayla had went to bed before Mac who stayed up for a while longer, as he heard a voice that spoke " Mac protect Kayla.", when Mac looked up to see a vision of Claire.
Mac nodded then said " Of course I will Claire.", when Claire said " I brought Kayla to you as I wanted you have a second chance at love." when Mac smiled then said " Thank you Claire.".
Claire disappeared once again and Mac went to their room and watched Kayla sleep soundly, which made Mac smile seeing her in a happy place.
Mac got changed and got into bed next to his fiancee, then Mac placed his hand on her baby bump and closed his eyes holding their baby to him as they slept together.
Kayla was so happy with Mac and despite what her mother did, it didn't stop Kayla from staying with Mac who she loves so much and feels safe and most of all... Protected.
