They finish their coffee and head to work. Flack ran into them.
"How's the happy couple on a day like this?" he asked happily.
"Oh, everything is great, you?" Mac asked.
"I'm good, Mac we need to talk… Stella, can him and I be… alone for a few," as he said this Mac couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, talk to Lindsay… she in right, I'll find her never mind," she said and walked off.
"Anyways…" Don said laughing. "I have a problem."
"Okay Don, what's going on?"
"Okay, so I'm seeing this woman who is helping me with dealing with Jess' death… and I don't know if I should tell Danny, because he thinks that he is the one helping me to get over it."
"I think he will understand Don."
"Probably, I don't know what I'm so worried about… it's not like I'm going out with his wife."
"Yeah… well I should be getting back to work, we'll talk at lunch, okay."
"Sure thing Mac, and good luck with the whole being a father thing."
"Thanks Don, I'll keep that in mind," he smiled and went to his office.
Meanwhile Stella found Lindsay in the coffee room.
"Hey Stella, how was the rest of your night?"
"It went very well… did Lucie give you a hard time?"
"No actually, she's actually getting better with sleeping at night."
"Um… Lindsay, do you mind if me and Mac take in Lucie for this weekend? To get the feel of having a baby in our lives… since it is our weekend off."
"Sure Stell, you guys are the godparents after all. Is Mac okay with this?"
"Yeah, we talked about it this morning, and he thought it was a good idea."
"Okay, plus me and Danny need some time alone."
"And you guys deserve it… you guys work hard, having a kid and working long hours."
"Stell, we'll talk later, I have to go find Danny and tell him."
Little did she know Mac was already talking to him.
"Of course you can take our Lil Lucie in, we need some time alone anyways."
"That's great Danny… I just don't see why Stella needs practice, she has always been good with kids."
"But they aren't her kids, so it's a difference… or at least that what Lindsay told me."
"Lindsay is a smart one, you should be happy to have her."
"Oh I am, same goes for you and Stella."
"I'm happier than I thought I would ever be with another woman, but of course it's Stella we're talking about."
"True, talk to you later, okay Mac?"
Mac smiles and nods, "I'll see you later Danny."
Danny smiled and went on his search for Lindsay. Seconds later Stella comes inside.
"Hey babe, I talked to Lindsay, she said it was okay."
"Yeah Danny said it was okay too, but I don't see why you need practice, you're great with kids."
"Yeah hun, but that's children, not babies… there is a difference you know," she smiled.
"You're right Stella, but you'll be absolutely perfect with a child."
"Same goes for you Detective," she said making him blush.
He goes over and hugs Stella, and kisses her cheek. He started swaying back and forth.
"Darling, I hate to ruin this moment, but we should get to work," Mac said upset. She released from his grasp and turns around.
"Okay Mac, but there is nothing important to do…" once she said and sighs.
"Stell, you stay here and keep seated, so I can go do something… I don't want you to hurt yourself now that your pregnant."
"Sure Mac, thanks for caring about me," he kisses her before she could say anymore, and left keeping himself smiling.
After Mac left Adam came in the office.
"Hey Stell, have you seen Michelle anywhere?"
"No, not since last night, why?"
"She said she would be back twenty minutes ago, but she isn't anywhere."
"I don't know Adam, but maybe she's looking for you but can't find you because your looking for her."
"Yeah, you're probably right, I'll keep you company," he smiled sitting down. "So, how does it feel being pregnant? You been thinking of names yet?"
"No I haven't, I don't even know what kind it is."
"You can never be too early on the names Stell."
"Adam, I don't think your name will fit into the Taylor name… sorry, and it's not only up to me."
"You're completely right Stella, but maybe it could be the middle name."
"I'll think about it, okay, but no promises."
"Okay Stella, I understand, let's talk about something else please."
"I would be honored to… how's it with Michelle?"
"It's going great, I think she is the first woman I ever loved…"
"You love me?" Michelle asked as she came inside the office.
Adam slowly turns around and blushes, "Hello Michelle, I guess you heard me, and it's kind of true."
Michelle looks at Stella and she shrugs.
"I'll leave you two alone," she half smirked half frowned and left the office.
"Adam, we've only been going out for a week and a half…"
"Yeah I know, but that's the longest I've ever been with a woman, so it feels different… you know."
"Yeah, I guess," she smiles and kisses him.
Stella didn't know where she was going or who she wanted to see. So she decides to go see Sid.
"Hey Stella, where's your future husband?"
"I don't know, but how have you been? We haven't had many dead people in a while, and I'm quite amazed."
"Yeah, it is weird, but I've been doing good. How's you and Mac?"
"We are good… and going to be proud parents in nine months."
"Wait, when did you get pregnant?"
"I just found out last night actually, I thought news traveled so I thought everyone knew."
"Well apparently I'm not part of everybody."
"Sid, I need to ask you something," she frowned changing the subject.
"Sure Stella what is it?"
"First, let me try not to cry," she said trying to hold back her tears, but it didn't help much. "Since I don't have any parents… when I get married would you mind giving me… away."
"Of course I'll give you away Stella," he said giving her a hug. "It will be okay Stell."
She grips him tighter and Mac comes in.
"What's wrong Stell?" he asked upset. Sid let's go to let Mac hug his wife.
"She was asking me a personal question, and couldn't come to it. Mac, you are like the only person in her life, so please never leave her."
Mac nods and continues hugging Stella, who was still crying and hugging him way tighter than she hugged Sid. He started stroking her hair.
Don't worry everything is going to be all right with Stella, just going through an emotional time-warp. As long as Mac's in her life she will be fine… hope you enjoyed and please review by pressing the button below ;)
