Chapter 18

The following morning Mac woke to Stella softly snoring on his chest. Gently shaking her she woke.

"Morning sweetheart."

"Mmm...morning Mac." She purred as she caressed her hand down his chest.

"I thought you might like to go see Danny today at the Hospital. I'm sure he'd like some visitors."

"Sounds great. I'll start the coffee if you start the shower."

"I can do that. But before that I would love a kiss."

"Sorry Mac."

Leaning up she softly touched his lips, as he brought up his hand around her head pulling her in deeper. Both becoming lost in the passion again, Mac broke the kiss.

"Up and at em love. The day is disappearing."

While Stella walked to the kitchen she pulled down the can of coffee and started a pot. Then hearing the water running she dropped her gown. Stepping into the shower Mac felt her warm sweet hands slide over his shoulder, as she kissed his back.

Turning in her arms, he washed his hands all over her body soaping them both with passionate caresses, until they were both lost in a whirlwind of pleasure. Leaning her up against the stall, she wrapped her legs around his waist as he merged their souls as one. So much sensuality was forcing them both to lose themselves.

Not wanting to slow down they drove each other to edge and over with endless cries of purrs and sighs. Coming back to their reality Mac knew he would never want to survive without it. He would never want to spend his nights alone. Thinking to himself he wondered if she would marry him.

"Mac...you okay? Mac, you look upset."

"I'm fine love. I love you so much Stel. I never want to stop loving you."

Stella was trying to understand where he was coming from. It was as if he was all of a sudden insecure about them. Leaving her thinking she had done something wrong.

"Please Mac. Please tell me what's wrong."

"I'll explain tonight love. I have alot to do before tonight. But for now let's get dressed and go see Danny."

Stepping out of the tub Stella was still confused as she watched Mac lost in a fit of smirks and smiles. Seeing her expression of confusion he kissed her smartly and said...

"Don't pout Stella. I'll tell you tonight. Now let's go."

Once they were dressed they shared their coffee and headed out with Mac still smiling away.

At the Hospital

When they walked into Danny's room they found Don sleeping in the chair.

"Hey Don, wake up where's Danny?"

Jumping up quickly, they all laughed.

"Not funny Mac. Oh God you brought coffee. Thanks."

"You're welcome Don. How you feeling Danny?"

"Better Mac. I can go home tomorrow with a babysitter for a few days." he laughed.

"I take it Don's your babysitter?"

"Yeah. Couldn't ask for a better one. I love ya man."

"I know Danno. Right back at ya man."

"Awww...my boys. You make me cry."

"Don can I talk to you for a minute in the hall?"

"Sure Mac. Watch him Stel."

"I will. No worried there."

"What's that about?"

"I'm not sure Danny. We could listen," she giggled.

"I'll pass Stel. Though you look different somehow, almost glowing."

"I know. I'd share but I'm not ready."

As Danny snorted Stella wondered what was going on in the hall.

"What's up Mac?"

"I need your help. I need you to come with me right now and pick Stella out a ring."

"A what!!! You, her. You asked her already?"

"I plan to tonight. It has to be special for her. better then romantic."

"Wow!! Does this mean I can tell Danny?"

"After we pick out the ring. I don't want him to let it slip."

"What about the others?"

"They can find out later too. Now let's go get the soon to be her ring."

Letting Stella know that he and Don would be back soon, Stella and Danny both wondered what was going on.
