Chapter 3

When the visiting hours had ended and everyone had gone home, Arianna woke Stella.

"Stella... wake up Stella. I'm going to sneak you and Calista up to see Sheldon."

Climbing from the bed, Stella sat in the wheelchair with Calista wrapped in her arms. Nearing the elevator Arianna checked both halls. Finding them clear, she pressed the button. Rushing them inside, she pushed the second floor. Arriving at the ICU, Arianna talked to Elizabeth. After explaining the situation, she wheeled Stella into Sheldon's room.

"Okay Stella, I can only give you a few minutes. So you need to hurry, okay?" said Arianna.

Pushing herself out of the wheelchair, she walked over to Sheldon's bed. Bringing down the bar, she layed Calista beside Sheldon's good arm. Taking his hand, she wrapped it around Calista so he could feel her.

"Sheldon... it's Stella. I'm here with Calista your new little angel who is waiting to meet you. Can you feel her Sheldon. Can you feel her little hearbeat against you?" We miss you Sheldon, miss you alot and we are home for good. So you need to fight for all of us. Especially for yourself. Cause we all need you, Sheldon. We all need you."

Whether it was Calista's hearbeats, or Stella's words. She seen Sheldon's hand wrap tighter around Calista. Then Stella seen his thumb caress her little arm.

"Sheldon... can you hear me? Can you hear Calista breathing, Sheldon?" asked Stella.

Walking back into the room, Arianna noticed Sheldon's movements too. Getting his doctor, he checked his vitals, followed by his pupils.

"He's responsive to light. This is a good sign. He also has finger movement. Let's set up an MRI for morning. I'd like to see if our doctor Hawkes is coming back to us," said the doctor.

After the doctor left the room, Stella kissed Sheldon's cheek.

"Keep fighting Sheldon. We are all waiting for you to come home. Just keep fighting, we love you," cried Stella.

Picking Calista back up in her arms. Stella took off her blanket and wrapped it under Sheldon's arms.

"This is a reminder for you, Sheldon. That Calista is waiting for you here. So hurry home."

Giving him one more kiss, Arianna wheeled Stella and Calista back to their room. When they arrived back at their floor, Mac was waiting for them.

"Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling after seeing Sheldon?"

"Better Mac. We actually had some movement. When he felt Calista, he moved. He wrapped his arm around her. He was also responding to light," cried Stella with excitment.

"That's great sweetheart. I really want to thank you, Arianna. As soon as Sheldon is better, we will have a welcome home party for him. So keep your days open, cause you are at the top of the guest list," said Mac.

"Thanks Mac. I should get back to work. Stella, I'll check on you in the morning before you're discharged, okay?" said Arianna.

Once Arianna had left, Mac helped his wife back into bed with Calista.

"Mac... did you check on MaCanna?" asked Stella.

"I did, love. Danny said that MaCanna and Donnie have been inseperatable since he got there."

"How's Don doing? Is he any better, Mac?" asked Stella.

"He was talking a little. I'm sure he'll be fine after the memorial, he has Danny there with him. He'll be okay, said Mac as he picked up Calista. Hello little CAT, how's daddy's girl? Did you love your trip into our family? All that excitement on the plane."

Giving her little kisses, he smiled as she scrunched up her nose.

"Mac... did you find us a place yet?" asked Stella.

"No. I have to search in the morning, love. Danny said we could stay with him for a few days."

"Mac... that's not going to work. We have the baby. Where is everyone going to sleep?" asked Stella.

"Listen love. I don't want you to worry about this. We will have a place," said Mac.

Climbing from the bed, he carried Calista to her little bed. Then covering her with a blanket, he kissed her little crown.

"Sleep well CAT. Daddy loves you."

Climbing back into bed with his wife, she asked...

"Why do you keep calling her CAT, Mac?" asked his wife.

"It's her nick name love. Calista Arianna Taylor. CAT, stands for cat."

Stella laughed. "You're crazy Mac. But I love you anyway."

Wrapping his arms around her, he passionate traced his tongue across her lips. Feeling her warm breath as she opened to accept his tongue. Losing themselves in the moment of each others love. Trying to maintain his control which was slowly slipping away with the taste of her. So damn intoxicating as he plunged his tongue deeper into her mouth. Hearing her cries of passion, as his fingertips traced along the outside of her gown. Feeling the heat from the fabric rubbing her nipples in pleasurable sin. Hearing her beg....

"Please Mac... help me release."

Sliding his hand down between her legs, caressing her bud in erotic circles while his tongue followed suit. Dying to touch her deep inside, but knowing he couldn't in fear of hurting her from just giving birth. Twirling the pad of his finger deeper across her soaken bud, she poured out as she bucked off the bed. Crying into his mouth with her orgasm that sensually burned her to the core. Feeling her body begin to relax, Mac pulled her closer. Just holding, nestling, wrapping her in his love. Feeling her eyelashes fall, as her eyes gently closed with her whispered sigh...

"I love you, Mac."

Giving her one last kiss, one last stroke of her beautiful lips. He whispered back...

"I love you too, Stella. Always."

Closing his eyes, along with hers. They both fell into sleep.
