Stella and Peyton lay relieved and out of breathe in the ditch as they watch the biulding being ungulfed by flames. They hear fire engine sirens as they get up.

"Come on, let's go" Stella says offering her hand to help her up.

Peyton take's her hand and get's up. As they walk around the side of the building, they see Mr Alders just waking up.

"You go on, i'll get him" Stella orders.

Peyton walks on as Stella helps him up.

"I'm so sorry, i didn't mean for this to happen, he was going to kill my children if i didn't help him. Is he dead?" Mr Alders asks as he reaches for his head.

"It's okay, Yes he is dead". Stella replies and she helps him walk.

Peyton arrives around the front of the building and runs straight the Mac. She flings her arms around him, but he doesn't react, his arms still by his side. The others stare at them, wondering where Stella is.

Lindsay starts to cry as she doesn't know where Stella is. Danny comforts her, stroking her hair while he holds her in a n embrace.

"Where is Stella?" Mac asks when Peyton take's her arms from around his neck.

"She...She's just coming" Peyton replies, jus as Stella arrives.

Stella drops Mr Alders as the crew run over to her, except Mac.

"OH MY GOD STELLS YOUR OKAY!" Lindsay screams, wrapping her arms around her.

Everyone, in turn, hug her except Mac. They all turn and see Mac and Peyton talking. They can't make out what they are saying, as they are too far away. Peyton finally walks away, towards the police car and enters the car waving to Stella and mime's thank you. Mac walks over to Stella and smiles at her. She Smiles back and he flings his arms around her, pulling her into an embrace. She puts her arms around his neck and let's him hold her, for what seems an eternity. Flack, Hawkes, Lindsay and Danny walk away to give Mac and Stella some privacy.

"I'm so sorry for everything Stel, I can't believe..." Mac starts

"It's okay, I'm fine Peyton is fine, everyone except Mr Daniels is fine." She cuts him off and smiles.

"I chose you, I love you Stella, I don't know what i'd do if i lost you. I can't believe it has taken all of this, for me to realise." Mac explains to Stella.

"It's okay, I know you chose me. I love you too. I have always known i've loved you, just never thought you would feel the same so i never said anything." Stella replies.

Stella places a hand on Mac's face and gently kisses him lips. He deepens the kiss and pulls her closer. They pull apart to the whisteling of their colleagues. They both smile at each other. The others walk over after Stella gestures to go over.

"Stella I'm so glad your okay" Lindsay says flinging her arms around Stella once more.

"Yeah, Stel, all of us are happy" Danny adds and Flack nods.

"Where's Peyton gone?" Flack asks Mac

"She's gone back to England. I told her I wanted to be with Stella and that i didn't realise how much I loved Stella until this moment. I should have realised earlier. She said it would be better if she left. So I said okay, and now she's gone." He smiles as he pulls Stella towards him and puts his arm around her.

Just as Flack was about to say something, Mac jumps in.

"Oh yeah, She also told me about someone's heroic behaviour." He states, looking at Stella with a smile on his face.

"It's was nothing, i done what anyone would have done if their life was in danger." Stella replies with a grin.

"Nah, you can't say that, don't be modest. You saved Peyton's life and saved you own. Which we are all glad about" Danny explains.

Lindsay kisses Danny on the cheek and they smile at each other.

"Oh yeah, so what did i miss between you two then?" Stella asks, looking at Danny and Lindsay, with a smile on her face.

"Erm... well we decided to kinda give it a go." Lindsay replies.

"Told you so. I knew you couldn't hold back for long. So where are we going to celebrate?" Stella asks.

"I told you Stella would say that didn't I" Danny says as he looks as Lindsay and places a gentle kiss on her head.

"How about that new Italian place near the lab?" Flack suggests.

Everyone agrees and they set off.

"Then you can tell us about how you saved the day" Mac suggests as he opens the car door for Stella, after giving her a gentle kiss.

I haven't decided whether to write another chapter yet, let me know what you think. It won't be for a couple of weeks though coz I am busy.
