January 1999
Stella is lying in her hospital bed wizh her newborn daughter in her hand. Mac and Lindsey are sitting on chairs next to her bed are watching over the two of them. Lindsey has had much inprovement over the last months and is starting to trust people again.
Stella has given birth to her and Mac´s first child a daughter. They named her Flora Victoria. She is named after Stella´s and Lindsey´s longterm babysitter Flora and after their mother Victoria. Buy now the whole team has arrived and is waiting on the hallway. Mac goes outside. "Hey guys. It is a girl." "Congratulations to you." "What is her name?" "I´ll be right back." He returns to Stella´s room and asks Stella if it is OK when the team comes in. She nods and Lindsey nods too. The team including Danny enters the room. "Congratulations Stella." "Thanks guys." Stella notices Lindsey tense a little and she sits up in bed and motions for Lindsey to up in too. Lindsey hops in and is sitting on the side of the bed which is facing Mac. Stella is sitting on the side which faces the wall. So Lindsey is sitting between Stella and Mac. "Her name is Flora Victoria." When she said that you could see tears in Lindsey´s eyes. Mac sees them two and says. "Lindsey we could always rename her." "No. It is our mother´s name. She would have loved that. It just makes me notices what she is missing." "Lindsey mom is watching from heaven. She is watching us. She is watching you." "Thank you big sister." "She is named after Lindsey´s and Stella´s longterm babysitter Flora and after Lindsey´s and Stella´s mother Victoria. And her godparents are Lindsey and Aiden." "I am honored Mac." Lindsey does not say anything and Stella asks. "Are you OK with that Lindsey?" "I sure am Stella." Stella gives Lindsey a hug and then Mac gives Lindsey and Stella a hug. A few minutes later the team leaves again and leaves the family alone.
Stella is released three days later and Lindsey takes Mac, Stella and Flora home. When they arrive at home they are surprised to see that Lindsey has decorated the house. Stella says. "You did not have to do this Lindsey." "I did. It is my way to thank you for helping me so much in the past three years." "Lindsey! Mac and I are your family and that is what family does. We help each other." "But Stella and I will accept the thank you, right Stella?" "We will Lindsey." The little family enjoy´s the rest of the day and Mac and Lindsey take good care of Stella and Flora. Lindsey even seems to be better since the baby has arrived much to Mac´s and Stella´s surprise. They just hope that it will stay that way and that they will find the guy who killed Lindsey´s and Stella´s parents, in a car accident three years ago, soon.
