June 1998
Stella and Lindsey know are both detectives and are in the lab talking when Danny walks up to them and starts hitting on Lindsey. Stella is a little over protective of her little sister. Lindsey lives with Stella and Mac, who have been together for three years now and have been married for two years. "Hey cute little girl." "Danny stop calling me that." "What do you want to kill me if I do not stop?" Stella sees the hurt in Lindsey´s eyes and says. "Danny stop it and get out. We have something to talk about." "Fine." Danny grunted and left the lab leaving Stella and Lindsey alone. "Thank you for saving me Stella." "Hey! You are my little sister. Are you alright?" "Yeah. I just never want to hear that again." "Hear what again?" asked Mac who had entered the lab. "Danny was hitting on her and when she asked him to stop it he asked her if he would kill her if he would not stop." "Stella I´ll talk to him." "Thank you Mac." Mac walks into the lab where Danny is and says. "Do not ever upset my sister-in-law in that way again. You hear me!" "What way?" "You asked her if she would kill you if you would not stop hitting on her." "So?" "So. Stop it our I will suspend you. From now on you better stay away from her if you want to survive. Understand?" "Yeah." "Good." Mac walks back to the ladies and leaves both lab doors open so that Danny can hear what they are saying. "Lindsey I told him to stay away from you. How about this. From now on you only work with me or Stella." "Thank you so much Mac. I do not want anyone to find out about it." "Do not worry the file is sealed and it is untraceable. But if anyone finds out he or she will lose his job." "Thank you Mac." "You´re welcome Lindsey." "I am going to go get something to eat." Mac and Stella nod. "Thank you Mac. The last thing she needs is a boyfriend right now. I am just glad that she lives with us and that we are able to protect her." "Nothing will happen to her honey. She is safe with us." "Safe from Danny?" "Yeah. I told him that I would suspend him if he would go near her." "Thank you Mac. I just hope that her nightmares stop someday." "They will. She is not alone. She has you, her sister, and me." "I know Mac I´m just worried about her." He wrapes his arm aroung her. Suddenly they her Lindsey screaming from the breakroom. "Stay away from me." "No. You tell me what is your problem." "Mac! Stella! Mac!!!! Stella!!!!! Help me." They run to the breakroom and find Lindsey crying in the corner. Stella rushes to her sisters side and pulls her into a hug. "Lindsey breathe breathe. It is me Stella. Calm down. Mac and I are both here." Lindsey is not calming down. "Mac call an ambulance." Mac calls and ambulance and then he turns to Danny. "You are suspended for a week." "Why?" "Remember that I told you to stay away from her?" Danny nods. "That is why you are suspended. You broke the rule." The ambulance arrives and they take Lindsey and Stella to the hospital. After they left Danny speaks up. "What is the matter with her?" "It is your fault that she was that way. You can just pray that Stella will not kill you and that Lindsey will be OK again." "Why pray?" "Because I say so." Mac´s phone rings and it is Stella. Stella tells him that Lindsey had a brakedown and that she will not be able to work for at least 2-3 months. "Stella how about you take a leave of absence and take care of Lindsey at home. That way she will not have to stay in a hospital." "Thank you Mac. I love that. I need you here please. She does not look good at all and she requested to talk to you." "I am already on my way." He then turns to Danny. "She had a breakdown and she will not me at work for 3 months at least. Stella will take care of her at our house. She is safe from you there."
Mac arrives in Lindsey´s room and Lindsey says. "I need you to make sure that he will not hurt me again. He needs to stay away from me please." "He will. When you are better Stella will take you home and will take care of you. She will take a leave of absence as long as your not well." "Thank you big sister." "That´s what family is there for." I am not going to let him hurt you anymore Lindsey. I promise." "Thank you Stella! Thank you Mac." A few minutes later Lindsey falls asleep again and when Mac and Stella leave her room to get a coffee they see Danny waiting for them. "How is she?" "That is not your concern after you almost killed my sister." "I am sorry Stella." "You should have listened to my husband. He told you to stay away from her." Stella returns to Lindsey´s room. "You should be happy that Stella talks to you at all. Lindsey asked us to make sure you stay away from her by all means. So do yourself a favour and stay away from her." After that Mac returns to Lindsey´s room, too.
Two weeks later Lindsey is released from the hospital and Mac and Stella take her home. What they do not notice is that Danny is following them to their house. After Mac has dropped of the two ladies he returns to the lab and Danny rings the doorbell. Stella opens it. "Danny what are you doing here?" "I need to know what is wrong with Lindsey." "It is none of your business and besides that you almost killed her." With that she closes the door and Danny knocks at it. Lindsey is sleeping. Stella calls Mac. "Taylor!" Stella is crying. "Stella! Stella is that you?" "Mac….I..I need you ….. I need you to come home." "I will be there in a few minutes honey. Calm down everything is going to be alright." Mac arrives ten minutes later. Danny has now returned to his car. Stella has locked the door with the chain for extra security. Mac tries to unlock the door with his key but he cannot open the door. He knocks and says. "Stella honey it is me." Stella opens the door and Mac pulls the crying Stella into a hug. They sit down on the porch and Stella tells him what happened. "Danny came here and said he wanted to know what is wrong with Lindsey. I did not tell him and shut the door again. But it is getting to me too. He was infront of our door a few minutes ago. I think he is watching us." "I see him he is sitting in his car over there." "Oh my God. Poor Lindsey." "Yeah. But I am worried about you because it is getting to you. I just to hired a female security company to protect you and Lindsey. They will be here in a few minutes." "Thank you so much Mac. I just want this to end for her. She has been through so much and now when she is almost over it it starts again. She needs a break." "I know Stella and she will and so will you."
Two hours later Danny is still sitting in his car watching the house and inside Stella, Lindsey and Mac are sitting with the knew security company. Lindsey fells safe around them because they are female, except for Mac. Now Stella and Lindsey always have bodyguards when they leave the house and when they are at home and Mac does not have to worry that much anymore.
In the evening Lindsey is in bed and Mac and Stella are in their bedroom talking. "Mac I am worried." "So am I. I am worried about you and esoecially about Lindsey." "I do not want her to totally break down again. She needs to start living again." "I know Stella and I will talk to Sinclair tomorrow about Danny. Maybe he can do something about it." "Thank you Mac. That would help me and Lindsey a lot. Mac!" "What is it Stella?" "I need to tell you something." "What is it Stella?" "I….I am….I am pregnant Mac." "Really?" "Yeah!" "How far along are you?" "About 7-8 weeks. The baby will probably come in January." "Does Lindsey know?" "No. Not yet. But I will tell her tomorrow." "Are you happy Stella?" "I am happy but I somehow have the feeling that it is the wrong time right now because of Lindsey." "I know. It is hard for her but it migh help her to trust people again." There is a knock at the bedroom door and Mac says. "Come in." Lindsey enters and they booth see the tear stained face. "Lindsey are you alright?" "No." "Come here Lindsey" Lindsey sits down next to Stella but Stella gets up and Lindsey scoots in the middle between Stella and Mac. "What is the matter?" "The whole thing with this Danny it brought back the old memories I tried to get past. Now I have them all over again. It just needs to end." "I know Lindsey and it will end soon. I will talk to Sinclair tomorrow about Danny. But Stella and I have somethin to tell you." "You want me to move out." "Lindsey no we actually want you to stay. I am pregnant." "Oh my God. I am so happy for you Stella." "Are you really alright with that Lindsey?" "Yes. If I need help I can always ask Mac right?" "You can ask me Lindsey." "Stella!" "What is it?" "I cannot be alone right now." "Sure you can sleep here." "No. It is your bed." "Lindsey Stella is can stay here. I will get the matress from your room and sleep on the floor." "Thank you so much guys." "You´re more than welcome Lindsey." Mac gets up and gets the matress and sleeps on the floor.
