Chapter Three

Despite Mac keeping his marriage to Claire a secret, but as they both knew that it normally would have a habit of falling into the wrong hands, as they remained blissfully unaware of telling the team of their marriage and love which would cause a shock.

Six weeks later, Claire had been feeling sick and she knew why but did a test to be sure, and this included a visit to her doctor who also told her the test was right and now she had to tell Mac when he got home later from the lab.

As Claire was drinking a glass of apple juice, when Mac got back around 6pm, he found Claire drinking apple juice in the kitchen, when he asked her " Everything ok sweetheart?", then Claire replied " I'm pregnant".

Mac smiled then went to Claire and embraced her lovingly in his arms, knowing that she was pregnant with their first child. Claire smiled back at him when she kissed him, as he kissed her back proving in their kiss of his undying love for her and their baby.

As Stella wanted Mac to herself, she tried to find out what he was hiding from her and the team, but fruitless results showing nothing, although Stella was annoyed with the results and this didn't stop her from finding out what Mac was hiding from them.

Stella was more eager to discover the truth about her boss, but Mac had covered his tracks with his secret, so that none of the team could ever come across it which is what Stella was trying to do but struggling with the task.

Claire cuddled close to Mac as they spent personal time together without the worries of other problems which might lurk to either of them, but what mattered to Mac, was his life with Claire and their rock solid marriage.

Mac rested both hands on her stomach as he held her close to him and holding their unborn baby to him, he knew that he was gonna make sure that both Claire and their baby were always protected from the evils in the world, he didn't want to lose them.

Later that night, Claire and Mac were in bed just talking about possible baby names for their baby, and some suited but Claire knew that once they chose the perfect names for either a boy or a girl, it had to link up nicely with Taylor.

Stella still wasn't gonna give up until she'd unmasked the truth about her boss, which Mac had an inkling about but to him, it was closed in a way that only he and Claire had access to, whenever they might need to use it.

Knowing how much fun their secret was being locked away, made Claire and Mac smile knowing what'd they made look so easy but hard at the same time, Claire looked up at him, then kissed him, to which he returned the kiss.

Claire snuggled into him and wrapped the duvet over her as she stayed close to the one she loved with everything she had and so much more than she knew of but all that mattered to her, was the undying love she had with Mac whom she knew loved her too.

Claire slept but her mind flashed back to that awful night she had only told Mac about as she thought that he'd leave her, but when he stayed with her, Claire knew that he loved her then and even more so now that they had a rock solid marriage.

Stella had voiced her worries with the team who were concerned about him too but they still had to know just what their boss was hiding, and the only idea Stella had was to dive into Mac's background which showed on screen as access denied.

Is there any hope of Stella and the team finding out or has Mac got the last laugh?
