They head to a small restaurant five blocks from their apartment. They sit at a booth in the corner, they thought they would be alone. Not for long.
"You look absolutely wonderful Stell."
"I know you told me that about twenty times already," she smiles.
"I can't help if you look sexy all the time."
Mac explained as his feet started playing with Stella's.
"I'll be back in a second, need to freshen up," she stated and stood up and went to the bathroom. And of course Mac was watching, with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey Mac, what are you doing here?" a familiar voice asked. Mac turned and looked up at a suited up Adam with Michelle.
"On a date with my fiancé."
"Oh good," he said sitting down with Michelle where Stella was just sitting.
The waiter came up.
"What would you guys like to drink?"
"Black coffee two sugars and a glass of water for my date don't forget the lemon," Mac stated.
"We would like two wine spritzers," Adam smiled as he looked at Michelle.
"All right, I'll be right back," he smiled and left.
Stella comes back and sees Adam and Michelle.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Double dating with you guys now," Adam explained.
"Oh," she sighs and sits next to Mac.
The waiter comes back and gives everyone their drinks.
"Nice date you got yourself there."
"Thanks," Mac grunts.
"I'll be back in a few to get your orders."
They figure out what they were going to eat. The waiter came back.
"Okay lovely lady, what shall you and your date have?" he asked Stella.
"We would like breadsticks and spaghetti," she smiles at him.
"Okay, and what would you guys like?" he turned to Adam.
"Um… I guess we'll have the same," he shrugs.
He nods and leaves to the kitchen.
"So, what's up with you guys?"
"Nothing," Mac grunts. "Stella, I'll be back in a second."
She nods and lets him get up. He left without kissing her.
"What was that all about?" Adam asked.
"I don't know, he did just want a dinner alone with me. If you guys excuse me," she smiles and heads to the males bathroom.
Mac was at the sink washing his hands, he turned around and was shocked. She hands him a paper towel.
"Stella, what are you doing in here? You shouldn't be in the guys bathroom, it's not as clean as the ladies."
"When did you ever go into a girls bathroom? It's not as clean as you would think."
"Oh really," he smiles.
"Now that is a smile, you are so tense tonight."
"Sorry, just the waiter…"
"Don't worry about it Mac, he will never compare to you."
"Thanks Stell, but I can't stand guys hitting on you, it's not right."
"I understand that Mac, I feel the same way when girls hit on you, but being tense about it won't solve anything."
"Your right Stella, sorry I hate being tense when you're around me."
"I know Mac," she smiles and puts her arms around his waist. They look into the mirror. "Look at us, we are so cute together, wouldn't you say so?"
"Yeah Stell, can we go back out there? I'm starving."
"Sure," she smiles releases, and goes back to their table hand in hand.
"I don't want to know," Adam smiled.
Mac and Stella sit down smiling and start eating.
A while has past and their date had ended, Adam left with Michelle first, and left Mac and Stella alone.
"So Stella, you ready to head home?"
"Yeah, but Mac I know you promised a good time when we went back home, but I just think I'll rest."
"Same here Stella, I'm beat."
They head home and change into their pajamas. Mac got under the covers first, Stella stood up smiling.
"What?" Mac asked sitting up.
She shakes her head, "Nothing," she blushes and gets on the other side of the bed.
"Good night, my lady."
"Night to you too Mac," she kissed him and they slowly drifted to sleep.
The next morning came as a rush to them. Stella frowned and she got up.
She gets into working clothes, and then Mac wakes up.
"Hey babe, do we have to go to work today?"
"Yeah Mac, they get worried about us."
"Fine," he grunts and get changed leaving her smiling.
"What Stell?"
"Nothing, just you not wanting to go to work. You used to be all work no play."
"That was before we got together," he smiles.
They share a small kiss and head to work. Mac takes Stella into their office.
"Mac, would you like some coffee?"
"Nah Stella, I just want you."
Stella blushes, "Okay Mr. Naughty, well I'm going to get coffee, if you like some or not."
He nods and Stella goes to the coffee room. She sees Danny there.
"Hey Danny, how the baby doing?"
"Both are doing fine, thank you," he smiles. "How's you and the boss?"
"Oh, were doing great."
"Find out the sex of the baby yet?"
"No, we find out in a month."
"Good to hear, Mac okay with almost being a father, and a husband. It's hard work you know."
"Yeah, I've heard. Well I should be getting back to him," she gets the coffee and head back to the office.
"Thanks Stell," Mac smiled.
"Anything for my almost husband."
He smiles and Stella sits on his lap.
"How can we get any work done Stella?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, we're going to be married and have a child, so how will we be able to keep up with everything at the lab?"
"I don't know Mac, but that thought haunts me every day. What if we can't do it?"
"I don't know Stell, it will be extremely difficult."
"But Lindsay and Danny seem to be fine with what they're doing."
"I've noticed, but trust me with us it will be harder. Unless we quit our job."
"Mac, you're offering that we quit just to make life easier. Well that won't work, we get paid a lot and if we don't have this job, then we won't be able to pay for all of our expenses."
"I guess Stella… and I'm glad we had this talk."
"Me too," she smiled and kissed him below the ear.
