Chapter 38

When Mac arrived back at the Hospital, he found his wife and son sound asleep. Walking over to the little bed, he picked Cayden up into his arms, and sat with him in the rocker. Laying him over his shoulder, he quietly hummed to him, as he brought up his little legs and curled his neck right under his daddy's.

Mac hadn't realized how heavy he was, till he lifted him that second time. It was pretty amazing to Mac, that he and Stella had made such a beautiful gift, from their love.

"You've had quite a trip, haven't you son? But you know what, my boy? Now that you are here with mommy and I, we are going to love you every second of everyday. Looking up towards Stella, he noticed she was awake. Getting up with his son, they walked over and climbed in beside mommy.

"How are you feeling, love? Are you in any pain?"

"No... I just miss the feeling inside. All that amazing rippling, and kicking has disappeared. It feels empty in there," cried Stella.

"Come on, love. We can always have one more. Once you heal a little, we will work on our second one. I know how important it is for both of us, as we're not getting any younger." Mac laughed, as he tried to make his wife smile.

Reaching for the little headset, Mac placed the earphones on his son, and turned the music to low. "He really loves that CD Adam made him, doesn't he?"

"He does." Looking up, Stella seen Adam standing at the door, with a huge stuffed tiger in his arms.

"Hey Stella... I came to see the little dude, is that okay?" asked Adam shyly.

"Of course it is. Come in Adam."

Walking over to Stella's bed, he seen Cayden sound asleep with the headphones on his little ears. Admiring the little dude, he noticed his hair.

"Oh... err... his hair. It stands up like wheat. I love it, mine did that when I was little too. My mom use to say, it was from my father forcing me to listen to his music, while I was in my moms womb. This is cool, makes me think she was right. Too funny," said Adam.

Mac looked at his wife, grinned and said... "See love, I was right." Passing Cayden to Adam, he sat down in the rocker and held him, as he continued to listen to the music.

"Looks like Adam has a little bro, doesn't it Mac?" whispered Stella.

"Mhm... I guess he would. Concidering Adam spent alot of time with Cayden, while he was in your womb. "

Smiling, how could she not agree.

Back at Danny's place, he had out his fingerprint powder. Brushing it over the house key, he found several prints. Once he had them all sealed, and ready to go. He asked Don to stay with Lucy, while he ran to the lab.

When he arrived, he seen Sheldon in the lunchroom.

"Sheldon... where's Adam?" asked Danny.

"He's at the hospital, visiting Cayden. Why? What's up?"

"I need to run these prints. I may just have the proof, Lindsay was murdered.

"Danny... Sid and I went over Lindsay body, top to bottom. There is no sign of trauma, anywhere." said Sheldon.

"Look man... I'm telling you, she was murdered. Someone killed her."

Walking out, Danny ran the prints himself. As he watched, he seen Lindsay come up on screen, followed by his own, followed third by Mary Jeffers. "Chirst... how the hell?"

"What did you find, Danny?" aksed Sheldon.

"Mary Jeffers prints, on my wife's key. How the hell... is that even possible?" asked Danny with confusion.

"Okay, this is case is getting even more weird. No one has spotted her anywhere in New York. Yet she seems to be moving freely throughout, the city? How is this possible?" asked Sheldon.

"I don't know. But I need to go back to Beverly Hills, tonight. I have a feeling, the answer is there. Tell Sid not to release Lindsay's body to anyone, till I get back."

"Danny... hey Danny. What about your daughter?" asked Sheldon.

"Tell Don to stay with her, till I get back. I need to get a flight out, tonight."

"Danny... you can't go alone. Wait for me, we'll go together. We'll call Mac and Don, from the plane. I know they'll kill us later, but I can't let you go alone." said Sheldon.

Heading out with Danny, the two of them took off for Beverly Hills.

Thanks for the reviews. *In case you've forgotten. Chapter #34....When Airanna(aka,Mary) took the key the first time when she went out with Don, she wasn't wearing gloves. This is how her print remained on the key.*
