Mac had made sure that Stella would recover properly even if she tried to fight him more than once. By now she was herself again and was able to live a normal life again. Mac had put a lot of effort in her recovery and the new old Stella was enough reward for that.
While Mac and Stella were sitting on the deck watching their children her mind moved back to the hard times. "It is hard to believe that she is really gone and has been for almost three months." "I know sweetheart but she will always be your sister and you will never forget her." He tightened his hold on her and pulled her more tightly against his chest. She snuggled deeper into his chest. "You are right. We will never forget her and someday our children will learn about her Mac." "That is right." He kissed her temple and they watched their children knowing that they are a strong family and could overcome almost everything.
