I just wanted people to know that I don't own CSI: NY or any of its characters; only Johnny, Calista, Eva, Zeth and the baby. J

AN: Well, Lindsay let the cat out of the bag. Mac found out Stella was pregnant. Also read to find out what happens at the warehouse. ;)

Everything's Alright…For Now

Lindsay told me something I wasn't expecting and I'm sure she didn't mean to. I couldn't believe it. That couldn't be true. We said we'd try after this shit with Johnny was over. What happened to that? I think it happened in Jamaica. We weren't thinking right.

"Why are you telling me this, Lindsay?" I asked her with raised eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, Mac. It just slipped out and I think you had a right to know." Lindsay said with an innocent smile.

"What really pisses me off is that Stella isn't the one telling me this. Did you all know?" I said furiously and everyone nodded their heads. I was stunned. "And I'm the last one to know? I'm her fucking husband!"

"Mac, calm down. It's not what you think." Danny said with raised hands.

"Then what is it then, if it's not all of you trying to hide something very special from me?" I said with clenched fists.

"Look!" Lindsay yelled at me and it scared me. I never saw Lindsay angry before. "I was the first to know. You know how news spreads. She was going to try to tell you when you got back from the case and you were pissed. Stella was scared; it's normal and you weren't in a good mood. I was sure she would've told you last night."

Lindsay did have a point. I was kind of grumpy and I don't know how I would've handled that.

"Well, she didn't. She looked stunned when I walked through the door. I don't know why though. Then she disappeared," I said with a frown. "Wow. I'm going to be a dad. I just wish I didn't find out this way," I liked the thought of being a dad and I smiled. "I hope Stella will be okay."

"She's strong, Mac. She'll get through this." Flack said and winked at me.

"Well, thanks for the support but I think you all have a job here. So, you better head out." I said demandingly but with a smile.

Everyone smiled and walked away in different directions.

"Wow," I said to myself and smiled. "Everything's happening so fast. I'm going to be a father."

I decided to text Stella. I didn't know if she'd reply but it was worth the shot.

Text:

Hey honey. I just wanted 2 tell you that I know about our bundle of joy on the way. Lindsay spilled it all the details 2 me. I'm so happy to be a father. I love you. I hope I c u soon. J

I waited a couple of minutes to see if Stella replied.

Text:

Hey babe. I was going 2 tell you but I was nervous and you weren't that happy yesterday. We're all fine here and I'm gonna try to see u soon as well. Remember, when it's time and I call…you'll know when 2 send the cops after Johnny. ;) Bye. I love you!

I knew Stella was fine. It was only about 15 minutes ago since I called her on the phone. I just hope everything works out fine.

Stella's POV:

Mac knows I'm pregnant now. I kind of feel better that Lindsay told him so he'd know. I would've told him eventually but I didn't really want to spill it to him now because I didn't have no idea how he would react.

I talked to my sister, Cali a lot since I've arrived. She wasn't that happy at first but she's warming up to me now. We have a lot of things in common. She even wants to be a CSI. I've bonded with my family and it felt good to have them with me. Johnny got up from his recliner and poked me on the shoulder.

"Can we talk for a second, Stella? Alone?" Johnny asked me while smiling that devilish smile and I had a feeling I was in trouble.

"Of course we can." I answered nervously as he led me into the other room as I looked back at my family. They were just as concerned as me.

He turned on the light, closed the door and locked it. I saw a big bed in the middle of the room. It took up most of the room. I had a bad feeling about this.

"Um, what's this about, Johnny?" I asked him with a smile.

"I saw you were texting Mac and I don't have a problem but I was wondering what you were discussing." he asked and pulled me up against him.

"It really isn't your business." I shot back at him and he pushed my curls out of my face.

"It is now. Tell me, Stella." Johnny said angrily and he gripped my arms tight.

"He just wanted to see how I was, that he knows I'm pregnant, and he hopes to see me soon." is all I told him and I left out the calling the cops.

"You're sure that's all that you said?" Johnny asked like he knew about calling the cops. "And if you really think you are going to get help from getting out of here, you're out of your mind."

I was busted and I didn't even make it noticeable.

"What are you talking about? I had no intention of sneaking out of here." I said angrily and lied.

"Oh, don't act coy. You could hear anything in this place when the airplanes aren't going over us. How stupid do you think I am? I heard you and saw your text." Johnny yelled at me and threw me on the bed.

"Just…let my family leave and I won't have him come get me…at all." I said with an innocent smile.

"Who said I'd let them go?" Johnny asked with a smirk.

"Uh, you did the other night." I said angrily.

"Oops, I lied." Johnny said with a grin. What a devil!

"You said you would!" I screamed at him.

I had a special plan under my sleeves and it was going underway at the moment. Calista, Eva and Zeth were going to sneak out and run for their lives back to my car with the keys and call Mac. I just hope everything would work out.

"It's going to take a lot of work, you know?" Johnny said romantically and I knew he was lying. He ran his finger up my leg.

I know Mac would regret me doing this but I had to give my family time. They needed time to get out, get to the car and drive to the lab.

I pulled his lips to mine and soon we were making out. I slowly slipped of my clothes and he followed me. Soon we were having sex. I wasn't enjoying it but girls know how to fake in bed. I haven't faked since Frankie. He was pleased and satisfied; that's what I wanted.

"Come on. Let's go." Calista whispered when they all got out of the building.

"We're coming." Eva and Zeth chimed in together and started running after their daughter. They were so scared for their Stella's life. They were all soaked once they got to the car and their clothes were ripped from climbing through the fence. Zeth jumped in the front seat; Eva was in the passenger seat and Calista was in the back.

"Hold on tight!" Zeth said loudly and they sped off toward the crime lab. They knew exactly where it was. It would only take them minutes to get to the lab at that speed.

-----

"Okay, tell me what you get once you get the results." Mac said with a smile and he walked out of the break room.

"How's it going, Mac?" Hawkes asked Mac with a smile when they were about to run out for coffee across the street.

"I'm fine. I'm just staying calm because I don't need any stress now." Mac said quickly and pushed open the doors.

Soon, they seen 3 frantic people running toward him and he recognized the car. It was Stella's car.

"Are you Mac Taylor?" Eva asked while trying to catch her breath.

"Yes, I am. Is everything okay?" Mac asked and escorted Calista, Eva and Zeth into the lab while Hawkes followed. The rest of the team was standing there shocked.

"No, nothing is okay. We're Stella's family and we made a plan to get out. Stella's still there." Calista said with a smile but let tears flow out. Lindsay held out her arms for a hug and Calista fell into her arms.

"Is she okay?" Mac asked nervously and sat down.

"I don't know. We made a plan just in case something would happen. She wanted us out. She didn't care what would happen to her. Johnny took Stella into another room for a while. We waited for a couple minutes then we got out of there." Zeth said with a frown.

Mac couldn't say anything he was shocked. His eyes were empty and cold. Flack knew he wanted to be alone.

"If you guys could follow me, we can get you showered in the locker rooms and get you some food." Flack said with a smile while they walked away but Calista stayed back.

"Hey.", Calista said with a smile.

"Hey.", Mac replied back but looked down.

"You know she's going to be fine, right?" Calista said happily.

Mac looked up at her. She resembled Stella so much, only the blonde curls and the younger age changed everything.

"I just…I have a feeling that something's going to happen. You know what I mean?" Mac asked Calista and he let a tear slip out. Calista wiped the tear away.

"Yes and don't cry. Stella's going to get out. I know she will. I know, even though I have only known her for about a day." Calista joked and reassured Mac.

"I hope you're right." Mac said with a smile.

"I know I'm right. The Bonasera's never give up.", Calista said with a wink.

"She said she'd call when she was ready for us to come get her. I hope she calls." Mac said happily and he looked to see if he missed any calls. He didn't miss one call.

"Well, you better be waiting. I better get cleaned up before I stink up the place." Calista said with a laugh and Mac followed her. He hoped Stella was fine.

Stella's POV:

I fell asleep and I felt Johnny get up. It was going to dawn on him that my family was gone and I was prepared for anything right now. I heard the door open and I closed my eyes shut; so hard that it hurt.

"What the hell? Where are they?" Johnny said angrily out in the other room and threw a chair across the room. I saw him turn toward me and I got up and stood in the corner. I didn't even know why. I stood in my bra and underwear. "You had something to do with this! You are fucking dead, Stella!"

I saw him stamp toward me with clenched fists. I called Mac's cell phone.

Hello…Stella!

He heard Johnny and I heard him screaming for help. I left the cell phone on the floor so they could track the location. Johnny got to me and he was pissed. This might be the last time I will live. I could only know that I did the right thing and got my family out of here.
