Chapter 29

6 months into the pregnancy…

Stella and Mac have had there check-ups and everything is going great. Mac's content into persuading Stella to leave for her maternity leave, but she won't go. It's not like I'm working the field, she would say to Mac.

The baby kicked for the first time in the fourth month of her pregnancy. Mac was elated and he still isn't over it. Every time the baby kicks, he's insistent on being there. Since Stella hasn't had a lot to do, she's been busy trying to cook up plans to get Lyndsey and Danny together. She still hasn't got Mac to help her with these plans, he says it's meddling.

At work…

"Mac c'mon!"

"No, Stella"

"Why not? We're not doing anyone any harm, were creating love."

"Stella, you can't create love, I'm not doing this with you."

Stella wasn't giving up that easily this time. She walked over to Mac, who was sat behind his desk.

"Mac", she said in the sexiest voice possible.

Mac looked up at Stella,

"Trying to seduce me won't work love."

"Oh really"

Stella slipped onto his lap and took him in a passionate kiss.

"Oh Mac!" Stella said, slipping a hand up his shirt.

"Stella…"

Before he could finish, Stella pushed herself against his crotch, running her tongue across his bottom lip. Mac tried to focus on something else, he would not give in. Mac stood up, with Stella in his arms and placed her on the sofa.

"Try as you might love, I'm not giving in that easily."

Stella huffed.

"You are so stubborn!"

Mac started laughing but stopped when he saw that tears were pouring down her face.

"Stella, what…"

"I'm fine. You just pissed off a severely hormonal pregnant woman!"

Mac lifted her into his arms. She had been crying a lot lately, Mac should have known not to mess with her. She was very hormonal.

"Sorry"

"Stop saying sorry Stel, I should know not to mess with you. Why don't you go back to seducing me and maybe I'll give in this time."

Stella smiled and brought her lips back to his, running her hands through his hair.

"I love you Mac"

"Love you too Stel."

They stopped kissing when they heard a knock on the glass. Stella got off of Mac.

"Come in Danny"

Danny entered laughing,

"What did she want now Mac"

Stella punched Danny on the arm.

"She wanted to join forces."

Stella smiled and walked back over to Mac, wrapping her arms around his neck,

"Yeah, come to the dark side," she whispered seductively.

Mac pecked her on the lips.

"Maybe later, now go back to work and stop distracting me"

Stella pouted

"Fine"

Stella turned around and walked out of his office, by Danny who was still laughing.

"Shut it Danny", she hissed.

"Oo, feisty." Said Danny

Stella turned around.

"Stella be good", smiled Mac.

She walked out of his office as Mac turned back to Danny.

"I would be careful Danny, or she'll have your head."

"I know. Did you know yesterday she slapped me?"

Mac laughed,

"For what?"

"She was dreaming about you in her sleep and making some very inappropriate sounds, I told her."

"Well, that was your own fault then, you should know not to mess with her."

"Mmm… So I was wondering if we could all go home early, we've all got nothing to do. It's like all of NY has made peace, we haven't had a case in weeks."

"I know, if you definatly don't have anything else to do, then yes."

"Thanks"

"And Danny?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell Stella to go home and that I will be there in a couple of hours."

"Okay, see ya Mac"

"Bye"

5 minutes later…

"Hey Mac", said Danny.

"What is it; I thought you were off home"

"I am, I just came to tell you that Stella's not leaving, she's in the break room."

"Why?"

"Do you really think that I would ask"

Mac laughed,

"I guess not, thanks for telling me"

"No problem"

When Danny was gone, Mac walked towards the break room. When he got there, he saw Stella making coffee. He stood in the doorway watching her.

"So are you going to come in or just stare at me?"

"How did you know I was here?"

"You're wearing the new aftershave I bought you, I could smell it."

Mac smiled and went and wrapped his arms around Stella.

"So, Danny say's that you won't go home."

"That's correct."

"Why?"

"I don't like being home on my own; I prefer to be wherever you are."

"What about when you're on maternity leave?"

"I'll have little baby Taylor with me, so I won't be alone."

"Okay, but what about before the baby is born, you do start maternity leave at 7 months."

"No, I don't."

"What?"

"I changed it. Lyndsey's going to put me in for maternity leave as soon as I am in the hospital."

"Stella, I do not want you to be here when you go into labour."

"Why not, I'll be with you so you can take me too the hospital."

"Stella, you are not working at 7 months."

"Yes I am."

"Is there any way I can persuade you?"

"No"

"Fine, but you're going to be working in my office from now on doing paperwork. I don't want you working in the lab"

"Fine, when are we going home?"

"Give me 15 minutes"

"Okay, I'll just be in here"

Mac left, and when he came back 15 minutes later he found Stella sleeping on the couch. Without waking her, he picked her up and carried her to the car. Placing her in the passenger seat, he made his way home and laid Stella in the bed. Getting up behind her, he fell asleep.
