Chapter 3:
"Stella sweetie, wake up, I've made you breakfast in bed. How would you like to spend the rest of the day before we go pick up the kids?" Mac said, setting down a tray with chocolate chip pancakes, orange juice, fresh coffee and a rose on it, on the table beside Stella's bed. "Aww, Mac, you are such a sweetheart, thank you Hun, you really didn't have to." "I know, but I wanted to, anything for you my darling." He replied, kissing her on the cheek. "Thanks, I love you! Hmm... Well, how about we go up the Statue of Liberty? I know it's such a touristy thing to do, but it's something we haven't done for a long time... Only if you want to of course, I mean, we don't have to..." "I love you too. Well, that sounds like a great idea my dear, but remember, we promised the kids we'd take them..." "Oh yeah, I forgot about that... Well, how about we just have a relaxing day here, and you can pamper me, before we go to Danny and Lindsay's BBQ with the team." Stella replied, sticking her tongue out at Mac. "Sure dear, that sounds good to me, well, you finish your breakfast, and I'll go tidy the kitchen and get dressed." "Ok sweetie, and thanks again for breakfast."
Mac had spent the whole day pampering Stella, giving her massages and acting as her personal butler, Stella had of course found a way to reward him... "Wow Hun, that was great, it's been nice having some time alone with you without the kids." Mac said laughing, as he kissed Stella on the forehead, "But I think it's about time we were getting up, we have to be at Danny and Lindsay's in an hour, and I think we both need to take a shower." Stella laughed. "Yeah, I think you're right, well you can go first, I just wanna lie here for a bit." "Ok Sweetie." He replied getting out of bed and walking towards their en suite.
Before long Stella was out of bed picking out what she was going to wear. She picked out a cream coloured flower patterned dress that stopped just above her knee and a pair of cream coloured pumps. She then decided she'd pick something for Mac too, she picked out a pair of jeans, he didn't wear jeans very often, but she loved him in them, and a blue checked shirt dress shirt (without a tie). "I know he's not too fond of casual outfits, but we're going to friends for a BBQ, he can't got in his suit..." Stella thought to herself, "Beside, he looks great in casual clothes."
Soon Mac came out of the bathroom and got dressed, Stella then went and took a shower too. Before long they were both ready to leave, Stella was just touching up her makeup. "You look gorgeous my dear." Mac stated as he came up behind her, placing his arms around her waist. "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself Mr. Taylor." She said, turning around in his arms to kiss him. "You look good in casual clothes, especially your butt in those jeans..." She replied, kissing him again. "Thanks, maybe I should wear them more often then, it seems you find me irresistible in them..." "Hun, I find you irresistible in whatever you wear... But I still think you should wear jeans more often anyways." She stated between kisses. "Well thank you, I feel the same way about you my dear, you can make anything look sexy. I'm sorry to ruin the moment, but we'd better go, everyone will be wondering where we are..." "Yeah, you're right, and I think Danny and Lindsay have had the kids long enough, we owe them one!" "Yeah we do, let's go." Mac replied, taking Stella's hand and heading out the door, towards his SUV.
About 15 minutes later, they had arrived at Danny and Lindsay's, the rest of the team, were already there. They were greeted by Danny and Lindsay at the door. "Oh, you've eventually got out of bed and decided to join us. I heard from Lindsay what you two were up to!" Danny stated, causing Mac to go a deep shade of red. "Shut up Danny!" Lindsay replied, slapping him lightly on the back of the head, causing Stella to laugh and respond with. "Well Danny, we'll be able to return the favour on your next weekend off." "Sounds good to me." Came his reply.
"Anyways, come on in, everyone was wondering where you got to. Two little people in particular." Lindsay replied, before calling; "Anna, Harry, there's some people here you might wanna see." Seconds later footsteps were heard running across the landing, and down the stairs. "Careful guys, don't run down the stairs." Danny stated as the kids came into view. "Sorry uncle Danny... MOMMY, DADDY!!" Screamed Anna and Harry, as they ran over and hugged their parents.
"Hey guys, did you miss us?" Mac asked as Anna ran and jumped into his lap and Harry into Stella's. "Yes, Daddy, I missed you, you too Mommy, but I had lots of fun playing with Emily, we played dollies and finger painted and Auntie Lindsay painted our nails for us! It was lots of fun!! Look at my nails Daddy!!" She replied putting her hand in Mac's so he could see her pink nail polish. "It looks very pretty my dear. Sounds like you had lots of fun with Emily." "Of course Daddy, she's my bestest friend." "That's good; well I'm glad that you had fun. Next weekend Emily and Daniel are going to come stay at our house, doesn't that sound like fun?" "Yeah it does, I can't wait, well, I'm going to go play with Emily some more. Love ya Daddy," she replied, kissing him on the cheek and getting down from his lap, "you too Mommy."
"How about you sweetie? Did you have fun with Daniel?" Stella asked Harry "'Course, we played action heroes and dinosaurs and Uncle Danny took us to the go kart track, it was so much fun!!" "Wow, sounds like you had a great time too." "I did, well I'm going to go and play with Danny now, see you later." "Bye dear, we love you." "Love you too Mommy, and you too Daddy." He replied running back up the stairs.
The adults spent the night chatting about work and their lives and families, while the kids played upstairs. Before they knew it, it was after midnight, luckily they were all on the late shift tomorrow, so could sleep in for a while in the morning. At around 1am their goodbyes were said and everyone began to leave. "Thanks again guys for looking after Anna and Harry, it was nice to have some alone time with Mac." Stella stated with a glint in her eye. "No problem, they're great kids, no bother at all, plus, they kept Emily and Danny quiet." Mac replied. "Well, I'm not so sure about baby number 3 just yet, but the rest sounds good." Danny replied laughing. "Oh gosh, no more kids for us for a while yet." Lindsay replied laughing. "Well, we'd better go, and let you guys get to bed, where we should all be, thanks again for a great night and for looking after the kids. See you guys tomorrow." Stella said, as they walked out the door. Danny came along behind carrying a sleeping Harry, while Mac carried a sleeping Anna. "Goodnight guys, drive safe. See ya." Danny replied once we were all in the car. "Bye!" Mac and Stella replied as Mac started the engine and drove off.
