Mac had once told Stella that he could not do his job with out her. Her cheeky response of "Yes you could, you'd just not be as good." had served to help smooth the waters that had been jarred by their rather unpleasant encounter some hours earlier. Despite her answer Stella was not stupid; Mac was more than capable of doing his job with out her. She did not over estimate her importance to him when it came to the job. Yes, they worked well together and complimented each other nicely; he being the head while she was the heart. Truth be told, if something were to happen to her, she was replaceable. There were others in the Forensic field who were far better scientists than she. Who was she to think that he'd fall apart if he lost her the way he had fallen apart when he lost Claire? Yes, they were each others best friend and they did love each other, even if his love was not the same as hers. But the loss of a friend could eventually be gotten over. If she were to lose him however, she'd never be the same.
