Two months later
The kids were at Lindsey and Danny´s haouse. Sienna was dying. Stella and Mac had talked to the bigger children and they agreed to stay at the Messer house while she was dying.
Mac and Stella were sitting at her bed holding her ands and holding each others hand. They continued to give her morphine to ease the pain. Mac could see that it is hard for Stells to see her sister die just like their mother had died. Both of them knew that she only had a few hours to a day to live. The doctor and the nurse had left the house.
A few hours later Stella way lying next to her in the bed and Mac was still holding Sienna´s and Stella´s hans. He could see the hurt and sadness in her eyes. It hurt him to see her so much pain and so sad. Sienna by now was barely awake. She was more in some kind of sleep.
A moment later Stella sat up and said. "Mac do something to end her suffering." "Stella you cannot kill her." She walke up to her and he pulled her into a hug and let her cry. She gave her sister a nother dose of morphine for the pain. A few minutes later Sienna died surrounded by Mac and Stella.
Stella and Mac folded her hands and shut her eyes and stayes with her for another hew hours. During that time Mac had called Sienna´s fridns from the list she had given him a few weeks ago. When they arrived they said their condolences to Mac and Stella and then they said good-bye to Sienna. A little later the team and the kids came and said good-bye to Sienna. In the evening Lindsey, Danny and the Tylor kids returned to the Messer houzse. After they left Stella slowly let down her guard. Mac led her to the couch where she cried frealy into his chest. He gave her allthe time she needed.
The next morning the coroner picked up Sienna. Stella had a hard time letting them take her. She totally broke down and Mac brought her to the bed and turned the music on. He watched as the coroner took Sienna. Stella was in no state to be there. She was to weak from crying and was not able to hold on. When the coroner had left Mac checked on his wife. She was sitting on the bed faceing the door. When Mac entered the bedroom she walked up to him and he pulled her intor him. She rested her head on his shoulder.
A few minutes later she said. "I have to plan the funeral. Mac I need to plan the funeral." "Shh." She was crying again. "You need to get some rest sweetheart. We will plan the funeral after that." She nodded in agreement and clung to him. He led her to the bed and he lay down with her in his arms.
After a few minutes she was sound asleep. He got up and called the cemetary from the livingroom. He made sure that Sienna would be put to rest next to her parents and her four grandparents in the family grave. He also made an announcement in the newspaper and told the hospital staff who took care of Sienna, her friends and the team when the funeral would be. He also made sure that they do not want flowers or money to take care of the grave. They would collect money for cancer research.
They next day they went to the lawyer to open her will. It said:
"Dear Stella! Dear Mac,
I wish that my savings account of $ 300.000 will be donated to cancer research. I also wish that my other savings account of $ 180.000 will be donated to the homeless organisation.
In my safety deposti bax are a locket and seven photoalmubs for Stella.
Mac please keep the promise you gave me.
Your Sienna"
After that they went to the bank and donated the money and the also donated the money from Sienna´s credit card to the homeless organisation and dnoated some of their own money to both cancer research and the homeless organisation. They also collected the locket and the albums.
When they came back home Stella and Mac looked at the albums, which were in a box with a letter.
"Dear Stelly,
you always wanted pictured of our parents and grandparents. Take a look in the albums and enjoy it.
Your sister Sienna"
She and Mac slowly opened the box and took out the seven albums. They slowly upened the first one. One the first page she read.
"This is a photoalbum of Daniel Miller 1905-1975"
She slowly opened them one by one and read.
"This is a photoalbum of Sienna Miller 1913-1983"
"This is a photoalbum of Patrick Ian Ryan 1909-1981"
"This is a photoalbum of Darlene Marie Ryan 1912-1979"
"This is a photoalbum of Fiona Ryan 1940-2000"
"This is a photoalbum of Nathan Ryan 1934-2002"
She had tears in her eyes the whole time.
When she opened the last one she xould not hold back her tears anymore and she read:
"This is a photoalbum of Sienna Ryan 1966-2009"
She now had tears straming down her cheeks. "Thank you Sienna." Mac who was sitting next to her on the couch pulled her into a hug. She just cried against his chest. When cried herself to sleep he carried her to bed.
After the funeral two days later they went to the bank and donated the collected money to cancer research. The Mac, Stella and the kids returned home.
Stella went to take a nap while Mac took care of the kids. When they were in bed that evening Stella said. "What promise are you supposed to keep Mac?" "She made me promise that I would never leave you that I would be there for you when she is leaving and when she is gone. I intend to keep that promise Stella." "I kno Mac. I love you." "I love you too Stella." "Mac do not let me go." He could hear the fear in her voice. "Relax I am here with you and I do not plan on going anywhere."
